The University of Texas offers a wide variety of varsity and intramural sports programs. Due to the breadth of sports offered and the quality of the programs, Texas was selected as "America's Best Sports College" in a 2002 analysis performed by Sports Illustrated. Varsity sports Men's and women's athletics teams at the University are nicknamed the Longhorns. A charter member of the Southwest Conference until its dissolution in 1996, Texas now competes in the Big 12 Conference (South Division) of the NCAA's Division I-A. The University of Texas has traditionally been considered a college football powerhouse. The team experienced its greatest success under coach Darrell Royal, winning three National Championships in 1963, 1969, and 1970, and winning a fourth title under head coach Mack Brown in 2005 after the 41-38 defeat of previously undefeated (and top-ranked) USC in the Rose Bowl. In recent years, the men's basketball team has gained prominence, advancing to the NCAA Tournament Final Four in 2003, the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and the Elite Eight in 2006. The University's baseball team is considered one of the best in the nation with more trips to the College World Series than any other school, with wins in 1949, 1950, 1970, 1983, 2002 and 2005. The University's major rival in almost every sport is generally considered to be Texas A&M University. The two schools have acknowledged the importance of this rivalry by creating the Lone Star Showdown series, which encompasses all sports where both schools field a varsity team. The football game played between the two schools is the third longest-running rivalry in the nation and is the longest-running rivalry for both schools. The game is played annually and in recent years has been played on the day following Thanksgiving. Many fans and observers, however, would argue that the Longhorns' biggest rival in football is the University of Oklahoma. The football game between Texas and Oklahoma is known as the Red River Shootout and is held annually in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl. This longstanding rivalry pits the populations of Texas and Oklahoma against one another in a bitter competition over state pride and bragging rights. Many other schools also consider Texas among their biggest rivals
