 The 1st Post of, "the University of Texas Longhorns Men's Lacrosse Club ALUMNI Reporter." 

The goal of the blog is to host, store, follow and highlight the Texas Men's Club Lacrosse team. It is geared towards the former player ALUMNI perspective, yet can be happily read, enjoyed and commented on by all folks, parents, coaches, students and fans! We shall most specifically strive to create an honest, post game-by-game REVIEW of each of the Team's home & away live game season performances. I'm open minded to ideas on how to make this Texas Lax Alumni Blog, the most enjoyable and interesting it can be.  








About Me; My full name is George Vance McGee. I was a Texas Lacrosse Club participating active member from the years of 2000-2003. I primarily played as a 3rd string midfield "Middie" player who ran and worked both sides of the field, and everywhere in between. I was a strong side Lefty and used that odd strength to my advantage when possible. Previous to playing for Texas, I was a 4 year lax player at Austin High School and was an All State Honoree during my senior year in 2000, under the tutelage of legendary Austin High Coach and 2x State Winning Champ Mr. Rich Weigand. During my tenure the Texas Men's Lacrosse team played games and practiced at the Intramural Fields located circa North Central Austin, North Guadalupe, North Loop area and 51st street, adjacent to the Rugby team. We always thought we were  the more sane of the 2 club teams. While at the University of Texas 2000-2003 I played under the guidance and leadership of Head Coaches Mr. Andy Parker and Mr. Jasen Trautwein. Our Player/Club President was Mr. Andrew "speedy" Wendler. If you have any questions, suggestions or thoughts email me directly georgevance@gmail.com.

 The 2026 Season will be starting sometime in mid to late January. The Recent Texas Lacrosse Clubs are coming off back to back National Playoff Club Appearances and Conference Championships. They have a brand NEW Head Coach this year and as Alumni we hope they keep that winning momentum! Hook Em Horns, and Horns Up, Always! --GVM

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Horns Lose to Boston College 14-13 in Double Overtime

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Falls to Boston College, 14–13 in Double Overtime Scan this below QR Code to your phone, ipad, etc to make a direct $$ Donation to the University of Texas Men's Club Lacrosse Team ---Thanks and Hook' Em!  George Vance McGee, Alumni Reporter – In-Person Viewer georgevance@gmail.com February 13, 2026 There’s nothing like a Friday night at Caven Field, and as a proud Texas Lacrosse alumni, I was happy to be there in person, on a balmy early spring ATX weather night. Unfortunately, this game ended in heartbreak as our Horns lost to the visiting Boston College Eagles Club Team in double overtime, 14–13. Yes = Double Overtimes. A Sluggish Start — On and Off the Field The Horns started a little sluggish, but once they found their rhythm, they really got going. The scoreboard, however, never quite did. After three or four attempts to revive the malfunctioning Caven Field scoreboard, it officially got fired. From that point on, the on-field referees ...

The Scrimmage that Felt & Lived like a Game. Texas Longhorns emerge Victorious 10-8 over the Div. 3 Southwestern Pirates

 Cold Night, Hot Lacrosse Action.  January 30th 2026. On a chilly cold winter night, The Texas Men's Lacrosse team began their 2026 Spring season with a Scrimmage vs the Div. 3 Level Southwestern Pirates from Georgetown, TX. It was an abundant crowd, that was well-bundled up and coated for a cold evening. Those of us fans whom did show up in person, were gifted an intense match of legit dual-team effort, timely coach strategized time-outs and impressive lacrosse gameplay action.   The game in general was refereed fairly, as both teams were able to play aggressively and yellow flag penalties were only thrown when warranted. Some basic insights I gathered from Southwestern parents and alumni in the crowd. Southwestern is a small 1,200+/- person Methodist religion based, liberal arts college, with yearly tuition at an astronomical $60,000 per year. A Southwestern parent with a son playing on the Division 3 Level team informed me their active players usually get roughly ...

A Bonanza of Central Texas Youth Lacrosse; the Texas Longhorns Hosted Weekend Tournament. Dec. 6th & 7th, 2025

--Written By Alumni Texas Lacrosse Reporter; George Vance McGee (Austin Silent Market Real Estate Broker Associate 512.657.9281 georgevance@gmail.com)   After I acquired a legal & rare parking spot in the North Loop neighborhood in the morning, I took an easy stroll over to EPOCH for a smooth and calm morning drip coffee awakening. Post caffeination, it was now time for my Texas Longhorn Lax Shootout baptismal experience. Surprisingly, this was my 1st ever in-person Longhorn Youth Tournament Weekend Experience. Simply put; There's a lot going on! The Texas Intramural Fields circa 51 & Guadalupe street are looking pristine, upgraded, green, well-kept and ready for action. I witnessed a festival of lacrosse! Every field in sight my eyes could advance and venture to was brimming with Active Youth or High Lacrosse players, coaches, parents, volunteers, friends or family. I'd guesstimate there's roughly 2 thousand + physical humans in attendance at all times on site. Sat...
