Chris Del Conte on renewing UT/A&M football rivalry: "At some point and time we will pick up our rivalry. It’s important to our state and important to our fan base. I’m assuming when it’s appropriate and ready, we’ll play...We’d like to do that, it’s just matching up schedules."
1:29 PM - 30 May 2018


... who knows when, but in theory anytime 2021 onward could work if set at Thanksgiving, looking at their current schedules. But if pre-conference play, then it's a bit trickier, and 2023 on ward works better (unless they move some games around).

This game should happen, and it should happen in November.

It doesn't look too serious, but it plays well to the "folks back home".

Everyone with the power to bring back the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry will tell you (on the record, at least) that they want to bring the game back. But none of them seem to be in a big hurry to actually bring the game back.

That became apparent earlier this month when Texas announced a home-and-home series with Alabama for the 2022-23 seasons. That bit of news leaves the Longhorns scheduled out with the likes of USC, LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan through the 2027 season, meaning the series’s renewal will either have to wait until 2028 or the earliest, or the Longhorns will play a major non-conference opponent in September, a 9-game Big 12 schedule and Texas A&M as the lead in to a possible appearance in the Big 12 Championship and the College Football Playoff. Which isn’t happening.

Not as long as the CFP Committee continues to emphasize fewest losses (which they promised NOT to do) over strength of schedule (which they promised to do).

As always, actions speak louder than words.

Neither school can bring itself to admit that the game is important.

In their hearts they know its important, but as 10th Mtn likes to say, neither administration wants to be the first to ask.
