Great Video! I'm a Longhorn fan since high school in the 75-78 era. I have truly missed the whole buildup in the football season culminating in the Texas vs Texas A & M game on Thanksgiving Day. I have a couple of those games on VHS tape! I am happy that we can now be entertained by this rivalry again this season, and especially in the context of the most intense College Football Conference in the nation. The SEC is the best. The gauntlet these member schools have to endure every season is more brutal than any other in the nation. As a Longhorn fan, I'm happy to join this conference and begin kicking ass in 2024. They did us right in the schedule with A&M as the last game of the season, as it has mostly been in the past. Hook Em Horns!

I'm an Oklahoma Sooners fan but I have always respected Texas and Texas A&M and I really really missed this rivalry. Glad that this rivalry is back. I'm gonna be at this rivalry game this year

[@Pidabred1]

when the game is on the line and the kickers name is Justin Tucker....

[@roo2127]

Bama fan here. As long as I can remember way back when the Southwest conference was one of the major conferences this was a game many watched if one was a true college football fan. That conference was basically every Major University in Texas (Texas, Tech, A&M, Baylor, Houston, Rice, SMU) and Arkansas. Every Thanksgiving weekend this game was on. Being an Army Brat overseas was no different. Many of us woudl sneak into the Rod & Gun Club and take a peak at the TV set to see the score of this game. Definitely one of the top rivalry games around because it is in-state. Trust me, we know all about that with Auburn. I am so glad they will play again as it will provide a lot more to the college game. Great vid.

[@aggiefarfromhome9642]

So true! This is a great video of the rivalry in a nutshell. Gig'em 👍

[@JoeCab]

If A&M would have played Texas during the Charlie Strong and Tom Herman eras, the Aggies would have won every year.

[@hudsonharris1531]

And UT would’ve won all of the last 5 years 🤷🏼‍♂️so who cares

[@goatedestgoat]

Considering how ass A&M was during those years I'm not 100% sure

[@mastertroll1780]

Fucking wild, I forgot Justin Tucker is the last guy to score points in the Aggies/Horns game

[@rhd244]

To me A&M was like the working class kid fighting against a rich kid and his lawyer dad.

[@mith3879]

True. But it gets crazy when I look into the schools themselves because A&M grads on average make more money than UT grads do. I still heavily considered going to UT because Austin seemed really fun regardless.

[@kdog2646]

​@@mith3879I think it is because t a&m has less liberal arts degree.

[@alexlandaverde4499]

Texas got glazed they make the playoffs once and then everyone says there going to be the nick saban era Alabama. Great video like how you didn't glaze one school

[@guadacoma]

If the Aggies had any historical success in football or fans outside of their alumni, they would have had some bargaining power, so as it was they got left out. They also haven’t done ANYTHING in the SEC and that’s why they asked OU and UT to join. Aggies need to take their ball and quit again and maybe go to the ACC where they might come in second every now and then

No, we don't, lol. We consistently do nothing with top recruiting classes. At least Elko seems like a good coach, but so did Jimbo. Love from college station 👍🤘

what success has a&m had? besides johnny football who was super special they havent done anything. this is stupid and ridiculous that a&m feels theyve done anything in the SEC.

[@johngoodell3017]

Not an Aggie or Longhorn, but it’s clear that UT made a massive mistake not joining the conference sooner. No longer a little brother, aTm is every bit the peer of every school in the SEC and it’s UT that has to prove itself.

[@TexAgsArmyVet]

Gig 'em!

[@useyowords9745]

lol looking at the numbers Tech is A&Ms rival. At least it’s closer than the UT one

[@grondhero]

Neither Texas nor Texas A&M are the "premiere" school in Texas, if you're talking about football strength. Since joining the Big12, TCU has whipped Texas 8-4, and Texas only won by one possession. A&M is average, aside from their Johnny Manziel years.

[@kdog2646]

Tcu has a massive losing record to texas and aTm

[@grondhero]

@@kdog2646 Reading comprehension is important: _" Since joining the Big12, TCU has whipped Texas 8-4...."_ The full history doesn't really matter considering most of those years TCU was at the G5 level and football wasn't as important or as big a moneymaker back then.

[@shockandawe03]

65-7

[@grondhero]

@@shockandawe03 51-45, 42-3, 62-22, 82-27. Anyone can cherry-pick. To your limited intellect point, 131 other teams wanted to be there but couldn't, and 132 teams were going to lose to Georgia.

[@willwooten95]

Texas basically has been completely mis managed from 2010-2019. They always have been and always will be the "premiere" school because of location, prestige, history money, football wins etc. Who cares that they were down a fewyears? Until they are surpassed in any measurement of program strength they will always be that.

[@fistofsouth1]

A&M isn’t UT’s little brother. A&Mis older and bigger than UT, how is that little?

[@willwooten95]

A&M is technically older but that also half true because they were not an actual university to begin with. UT is the premiere public university leading every category save agriculture against A&M. Finally, while one could argue that A&M has a more involved fan base, the overall amount of Longhorn fans is substantially more than the overall number of Aggies.Though, putA&M in any otherstate and they would probably be the biggest brand. But this is TEXAS and in TEXAS , TEXAS reigns supreme.

[@matthewstandefer2771]

Texas and Deloss Dodds killed the SWC and then the Big 12. They ran off Nebraska, Colorado and strong armed the rest of the conf. Now they're coming to the SEC after burning down the other conferences and leaving all the other TX teams in the college football "wilderness". They will not get to bully anyone in the SEC. The revenue sharing has been great for competition and the conference is very balanced and extremely difficult. Not just in football, but Baseball and basketball as well. I hate the way Texas conducted business for decades, but I must confess . . . as an Aggie ('91) I will be excited to play them again. Its a great rivalry and I have many, many great friends from tu. It's gonna be fun. Gig 'em!
