Divorce hasn’t kept Loreal Sarkisian from being one of the biggest supporters of Texas football—and, some might say, the ultimate “First Lady of Texas Football.” Despite her split from head coach Steve Sarkisian, Loreal has kept her allegiance strong, attending games and bringing her signature style to the sidelines. And on her birthday, Texas gave her the best gift she could ask for: a resounding 34-3 victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. Loreal celebrated by sharing a video of Steve hoisting the Golden Hat Trophy, captioning it, “The Best Birthday Gift @steve.sarkisian 🤘🏽.”
This victory was more than just another win; it’s a redemption story for the Longhorns. Since joining Texas in 2021, Sarkisian has faced challenges with Oklahoma, suffering a painful defeat in the Red River Rivalry that year and a narrow 34-30 loss to the Sooners in 2022. But now, at 6-0 with dominant performances—including a victory over reigning champions Michigan in Week 2—Texas is not just winning; they’re asserting themselves as a genuine National Championship contender.
Loreal’s presence continues to make an impact both on and off the field. Her unwavering support and stylish presence add a unique flair to Texas football, solidifying her role as a true ambassador for the team. As Texas gears up for their next SEC showdown against No. 5 Georgia, the Longhorns, sitting comfortably at No. 1 in the AP Poll, seem ready to keep the momentum going. The question is: with Loreal as the steadfast supporter of Texas, is there anyone more deserving of the title of “First Lady of Texas Football”?
