For Longhorns, there’s nothing like watching our teams fight for a win. Right beside the players is another squad of student-athletes — Texas Cheer and Pom — bringing the Texas Fight spirit straight to you, the fans. Join the Texas Fight Campaign and support the cheer, pom and Hook ’Em mascot teams as they represent the best of the Southeastern Conference.
