Plenty of Longhorn football records from the DKR era will never be broken: Start with the 30-game win streak (’68-’70), the 42-game home unbeaten streak (’68-’76), the six straight conference championships (’68-’73). Winning 17 out of 18 against Texas A & M (1957-1974, DKR’s first 18 games in the rivalry).

Tons of team and individual marks appear to be untouchable, for many reasons.

1966 Bill Bradley 1968, who intercepted 4 passes in one game against Texas A&M.

One QB (Peter Gardere) at the helm for four consecutive wins over OU.

In men’s basketball The 44‑Game Winning Streak (1913–1917)

In women’s basketball, Rori Harmon surpassed Linda Waggoner’s 45‑year-old record of 351 steals. She did it while also becoming Texas’s all‑time assist leader, meaning she’s carrying two career records simultaneously — a rarity for any program.

Jeff Moore’s dynasty-era dominance (1983–2005) — 506 wins and a .768 winning percentage as head coach. The sport’s parity and conference realignment make this level of sustained dominance nearly impossible to replicate.

Søren Hess‑Olesen finishing the season as the No. 1 singles player in the nation is the cleanest, most airtight “will never be broken” individual record in Texas men’s tennis history. It’s a perfect storm of era, format, and program identity that simply won’t align again.

Peyton Stearns — 2022 NCAA Singles Champion
The only one in program history, and the one most shaped by modern forces that make a repeat nearly impossible.

Greg Swindell’s 14 Complete Games (1985) No modern pitcher will ever approach this. Today’s elite starters might throw one complete game in a season—if any.

Retha Swindell was the First African‑American woman to play varsity basketball at Texas.

She was a two-time MVP of the Texas team, an All-American, and scored 1795 points and 1759 rebounds. As of 2026, this is still a record.

Roger Clemens 35 Strikeouts in Two CWS Games (1982)

Jim Gideon’s 19–2 season (1975) A 21-game pitching is impossible today due to pitch‑count limits, expanded bullpens, and fewer complete games. Gideon’s workload belongs to a different era.

Terrence Rencher – Terrence Rencher is the all‑time leading scorer in Texas Longhorn men’s basketball history, finishing his career with 2,306 points from 1991–95 . Rencher’s record has held for more than 30 years

Cedric Benson led the team in rushing — big rushing stats — for four years.

Reese Atwood is Texas softball’s all‑time career home run leader, breaking the previous school record in February 2026. She set the mark with her 59th career home run, surpassing Taylor Hoagland’s former record of 58.

Three-time national champion Anna Jensen added yet another accolade to her lengthy list of achievements Friday, earning the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Division I Athlete of the Year award.

Eddie Reese–Era Anchor (Representative: Aaron Peirsol–caliber legacy) will never be equaled . Program-defining dominance

Lamar Evans says , How could you forget Teagan Kavan’s record e.r.a. of 0.00 in the WCWS? Her name will forever be in the record books! Her record can only be tied! Not even Cat Osterman matched this record! It will always be a school record, AND a national record, in perpetuity!

Jan Bixler Bennett says, What about 30 consecutive wins from 1968 to 1970?

Nor will a QB be good enough or stick around long enough, to be the winning “pitcher” in 45 games, as was Colt McCoy.

Leigh Ann Fetter is one of the most dominant sprinters in NCAA history. Her record haul spans multiple categories that no other UT woman matches including a 15× NCAA Champion — the most by any Texas woman swimmer. 4× NCAA Champion in the 50‑yard freestyle — the first woman in NCAA history to win the same event four straight years. First woman ever under 22 seconds in the 50‑yard freestyle.

🧭Ben Crenshaw holds the most significant and enduring individual records in Texas Longhorn men’s golf, and by a wide margin. His dominance shows up in national titles, conference titles, and career impact.

The Longhorn with the most major records: Ben Crenshaw Crenshaw’s record haul is unmatched in program history, and several of his marks are effectively unbreakable in the modern era. His most important Longhorn records – 3× NCAA Individual Champion (1971, 1972, 1973) — the only Longhorn to win three national titles, and one of the most dominant runs in NCAA golf history. – 2× SWC Individual Champion (1972, 1973) — anchoring Texas’s powerhouse early‑1970s teams. – Part of back‑to‑back NCAA team championships (1971, 1972) — the foundation of UT’s national golf identity. – Only Longhorn to win NCAA titles in three consecutive seasons — a record extremely unlikely to be matched given today’s early‑turn‑pro trend. These achievements place him at the top of every “most decorated” or “most records” list in UT men’s golf.

Michiko Hattori holds the most significant and enduring individual records in Texas Longhorn women’s golf. She is the only Longhorn woman to win multiple individual conference championships (SWC titles in 1988 and 1989) — no one else has more than one. The records she set will probably never be equaled at Texas in women’s golf.

A record that will never be broken, Jim Deitrick says
Men’s swimming & diving team’s 47 consecutive conference championships and still counting! ( SWC, Big 12 and SEC). Below is a montage of this spectacular accomplishment.

Texas men’s teams under Coach Reese won many national titles, and his swimmers earned NCAA titles, American records, and Olympic medals during his coaching tenure. While many individuals could fit here, this spot represents the collective dominance of Texas swimmers during the Reese dynasty, which defined men’s collegiate swimming for four decades.
