Texas Longhorns fans at the Kentucky football game October 2025.

A group of diehard Longhorns, who all served as officers for the Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA) while at UT, now travel together every year to support Texas football on the road. They stopped for a photo in Lexington just before the Horns’ 16-13 overtime victory over Kentucky in October.
