Mack Brown is in Dubai, reportedly for Texas (Photos)

Mack Brown is traveling the world on behalf of Texas.

According to the Austin American-Statesman, the former Longhorns coach is in Dubai to "meant to explore future possibilities for Texas athletics." While he's an ESPN analyst, he is also in a special capacity for the university.

Texas athletic director Steve Patterson has talked about his international desire before. Texas basketball is playing in China and Patterson has brought up a football game in Mexico City.

Per the AAS, included in this picture Brown posted was Patterson's wife, Yasmin (an Arabic speaker), David Thomas, who works for the Longhorn Network and the Longhorn's Ricky Brown.

If a Texas football game was to be played in Dubai, we're going to go out on a limb and guess it would be played in a climate-controlled stadium, especially if it was early in the season. Temperatures average close to 100 degrees in September in October. While November is cooler, it's still warm by many people's standards (88 degrees). If the World Cup wasn't going to be played outdoors in the hot months in Qatar, it's hard to believe that Texas football would either.

Of course, we're also going to guess that a game in Dubai isn't a possibility in the foreseeable future. The Mexico City game seems much more feasible and it could serve as a good experiment for other games around the globe.
