The return of one of the most storied rivalries in college football gained even more momentum this week. Texas and Texas A&M football have not faced off since 2011, and the past couple of months have had the most signs of the game getting back on the schedule since Texas A&M left for the SEC.
Since that date, each side has accused the other of not wanting the game to play. A&M athletic director (at the time) Bill Byrne never wanted the game to go away, but Texas AD DeLoss Dodds insisted if A&M left the Big 12 they were not willing to accommodate the Aggies as non-conference opponents.
