Texas, Texas A&M Renew Football Rivalry

The long-awaited football rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas will resume on November 30, 2024, after a 13-year hiatus. This historic matchup, known as the Lone Star Showdown, carries significant implications as the winner will advance to play Georgia in the SEC title game. The rivalry, which dates back to 1894, has seen Texas dominate the series with a 76-37-5 record, but the passion and disdain between fan bases remain strong. Pre-game festivities include a golf tournament and traditional events aimed at rekindling the rivalry spirit. Players and fans alike express excitement, likening the intensity of this matchup to other major rivalries like Auburn-Alabama and Michigan-Ohio State. The return of this game not only revives a fierce competition but also aims to restore a sense of pride and tradition within Texas college football.
