Longhorns Bowl Game Could Be Broadcast In Theaters

There are 75 college football games being broadcast in theaters this fall, and the Texas Longhorns could play in one of them.

Theater Sports Network announced in a release Tuesday that they will be broadcasting 75 college football games in a theater this fall.

While Theater Sports Network's deal exclusively includes broadcasting games with at least one Atlantic Coast Conference team, they will also be showing every New Year's Six and College Football Playoff game which the Texas Longhorns could be a part of.

Texas has been picked by many to win the Big 12 thanks in part to the assumption that quarterback Quinn Ewers will make the necessary leap in year 2 in head coach Steve Sarkisian's offense while having more-than-capable receivers to throw to.

If the Longhorns win the conference on their way out, they will likely play in a New Year's Six bowl game, and if they are undefeated in the process, they could either be in the Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl — the two CFP Semifinals.

Playing the hypothetical game, though, other Longhorns games that would be amazing to watch in a theater: Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

Texas' rematch against the Crimson Tide is "must-watch TV." After a one-point loss last season, the Longhorns are facing one of the deepest rosters in the country in Alabama.

However, the Crimson Tide don't know who their quarterback will be — a far cry from where they were at last season with Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young.

The Red River Rivalry is one of the games that makes college football great. There's pure hatred, maximum effort because of it and great product put on the field every year. 

This year's rivalry game will be fun to watch after Texas won its second game against the Sooners since 2016. While the Longhorns throttled Oklahoma last season, the Sooners' roster should be improved in year 2 under head coach Brent Venables.

If you were to say at Big 12 Media Days that Texas-Texas Tech would be one of the premier matchups to watch on the Longhorns' schedule, it'd likely be because of the electric annual offensive output and since it would be the Horns' last regular season game before moving to the Southeastern Conference.

After Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark's comments in which he told Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders to "take care of business" in Austin, this game got a lot more spicier.

The drama, fanfare and air raid offenses would look great on the big screen.
