No ‘specific’ talks about reviving Texas-Texas A&M series
New Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward said in April that he had “no objection” to reviving the rivalry with Texas and Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said at a speaking engagement Friday that “they’re trying to work out something right now where we go play the Aggies.”
But before all college football fans applaud a rivalry revival — a rivalry that should take place every season — a Texas A&M spokesman told the Austin-American Statesman that “no specific discussions have taken place.”
Actually, that falls in line with what Woodward said in April. While he said he wouldn’t mind the rivalry being played again, he also said he didn’t “foresee anything happening in the near future.”
