When conference realignment put an end to the Texas Tech football program’s most fierce rivalry, the one with Texas A&M that gave us so many memorable moments over the years (long live Gap Kid and classless clowns!) there was a hate void in the Red Raider fan base’s heart. The closest we’ve come to filling that has been with our ire towards TCU (and possibly Baylor) and while the vitriol we spew at the purple life-force drainers from Forth Worth will never approach that which we spat at the Aggies for all those years, this has become an important rivalry for both programs.
