It's going on eight years now since Texas and Texas A&M played each other. One of the
best rivalries in football was shutdown when the Aggies joined the SEC. Renewing the
rivalry is not a matter of money for the schools because Texas and Texas A&M are ranked
one and two in the nation in athletic revenue generated. It's a matter of what's good for
college football and the interest it creates nationally. The overwhelming majority of students
(97% Texas, 89% A&M) want the series revived. Both school presidents and even the Texas
governor want to see the two schools play again. So, will it happen?

I'm guessing no...at least not in the near future. Just my take, what's yours?

Why cant they play Thanksgiving weekend like they always do?

Neither team plays a "true" rival Thanksgiving weekend.

The gators play FSU
South Carolina plays Clemson
Why cant these 2 schools play?

Rumor is UT has been against it in the past few years. I assume if Tex can return to a top program, they might not be against it.....but they didn't want to lose to little brother.
