  • The rivalry between the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies is one of the most intense and storied in college sports.

The article from the Austin American-Statesman discusses the storied rivalry between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin, known as the Lone Star Showdown. This historic rivalry, which spans over a century, encompasses not just football but also extends to other sports, academics, and cultural pride. The football series, which began in 1894, has seen Texas A&M and UT play 118 times, with Texas leading the series 76-37-5. Key highlights include the intense competition for the bragging rights, the impact of the rivalry on both campuses, and memorable games like the 1963 "Game of the Century." The article also touches on the cultural significance of the rivalry, the traditions like the Aggie Bonfire, and how the move of Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference in 2012 has affected the frequency of their matchups, with the next scheduled game in 2024.
