Annual UT/A&M Game Not A Hot Button For Many Texans

(Austin, TX) — The number of Texans who want to see the return of an annual football game between the Aggies and the Longhorns is less than the number who don’t care one way or the other.

In November, state Representative Lyle Larson, a San Antonio Republican, filed a bill that would require UT and A&M to play a game every November. A recent poll says 40-percent of the state’s voters would like the longtime rivalry to be resumed. Only four-percent are opposed, and 10-percent said they don’t know. But the largest group, 46-percent, don’t care.
