Sports Illustrated 2005 National Champions Longhorns, Commemorative Issue 2006

Highlights of the special issue include:

• T for Texas, and for Tradition: For Mack Brown, the secret ingredient to bringing back the glory days was Darrell Royal, explains SI senior writer Tim Layden.
• The Star: Tim Layden's take on how Vince Young carried Texas to a national title even as he struggled to come to terms with his estranged father.
• The Architect: The business of coaching has changed forever for Mack Brown.
• The Rose Bowl: SI senior writer Austin Murphy reports on how Texas upset USC to win its first national championship in 35 years.
• The Greatest Longhorns of All Time: From incomparable tailbacks to linemen of lore, Texas has seen its share of greats--so many that legend Bobby Layne didn't make SI's cut.
• The Covers: From Bobby Lackey to Vince Young, the Horns have hooked plenty of SI front pages (15 to date, not including this special commemorative edition).
• The Force: In his three seasons at Texas, Tommy Nobis left a lasting legacy as one of the Longhorns'--and the game's--finest players, writes Dan Jenkins (in an article reprinted from the October 18, 1965, edition of SI).
