FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — In case you're wondering the most famous photo in Jalen Catalon's time at Arkansas now is in different colors.

Yep, somebody in Austin photoshopped a Razorback photo into a Texas graphic after the safety committed to the Longhorns on Monday.

Fans' heads may explode.

He even used his most famous Razorback photo to make his announcement graphic.

Go ahead choose whatever combination of expletives and complaints you want to have, but for many it's the biggest betrayal of the Hogs' program in history. Talk about shock value.

After an injury-plagued time with the Hogs, the free safety from Mansfield, Texas, decided to go home to be with the Longhorns Sideshow in Austin. Since it's a safe bet medical people cleared him on the shoulder issues, now they can hold their breath every time he makes a tackle to see if he gets up in one piece.

Maybe the most frustrating thing of all there's nothing Hog fans can really enjoy as far as direct payback.

They will have to continue to push for Texas to somehow go 0-12 every year and lose every single game they ever play. Many wish they could invent a way for them to lose the spring game every year.

There will be predictions for failure because Texas has been sort of down on luck lately.

New coach Steve Sarkisian has revitalized hopes, but after falling short against Alabama this past season hurt the Longhorns' faithful, everybody with the Hogs cheered.

Before the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he was a preseason All-American ... and both seasons were de-railed by injury that may have taken some shine off projections as a high NFL draft selection.

But that's now Texas' issue to deal with.

Hog fans will just have to be mad.
