For the Aggies, a bowl bid is at stake. For
the Longhorns, the first Big 12 South Division
title and a chance to play the winner of Ne-
braska-Colorado in the conference champi
onship game is on the line.
Details, details.
The 103rd installment of Texas A&M vs.
Texas commences in Austin at Darrell K. Roy
al Memorial Field Friday at 10 a.m. And while
both schools’ postseason fates hang in the
balance, the Aggies and Longhorns face an
annual opportunity — the chance to beat
their hated rival.
The records, standings and bowl berths
are gravy.
“This is my 24th time to be a part of this
and I’m really looking forward to it,” A&M
Head Coach R.C. Slocum said. “It’s one of the
really special games in college football, a
unique game involving a big state that loves
football, and the two biggest colleges in the
state and two of the biggest in the country.”
Last season, the Longhorns handed the
Aggies a demoralizing 16-6 defeat, snapping
A&M’s nation-leading 31-game home win-

New conference changes college football
scene in state, but intense rivalry lives on
By Jamie Burch
The Battalion
B oth Texas A&M and the Uni
versity of Texas are now part
of a new conference, but that
does not detract from one of college
football’s longest rivalries. Friday’s
game between the Aggies and the
Longhorns at Darrell K. Royal
Memorial Stadium is 103 years in
the making. For the Aggies, a win
could spell “aloha,” whereas a loss
would spell “goodbye.”
This year, there is no confer
ence title on the line for the Ag
gies. A victory would not position
them into a more prominent bowl,
but rather, one of the leftovers.
However, this game still grants the
victors bragging rights. For those
players who have friends on the
opposing team, a win would only
heighten the trash-talking.
Senior offensive lineman Calvin
Collins played ball with Texas quar
terback James Brown at West Brook
High School in Beaumont. Collins
said a win calls for boasting when
he goes back home.

ing to see those people,” Collins
said. “You can’t miss them. So
when you do see them, you’re go
ing to [spout off at the mouth].”
More so than bragging rights,
the Aggies desperately want to
beat Texas because of last year’s
16-6 loss on Kyle Field. The loss
was devastating because the
Southwest Conference title was
on the line as well as a 31-game
home winning streak. After the
victory, Texas poured salt in
A&M’s wound by arrogantly
parading around Kyle Field.
Senior outside linebacker Keith
Mitchell said Texas was disrespect
fully boasting.
“I think last year was just disre
spectful to us,” Mitchell said. “Espe
cially with all the traditions that are
tied to our stadium. That just makes
this game more exciting.”
This is the last time the A&M
seniors will face their hated rivals.
It could also be their final colle
giate game.
