A Look Back: The 1981 Independence Bowl Between OSU and Texas A&M

When Oklahoma State and Texas A&M face off in Houston on Dec. 27 in the Texas Bowl it won’t be the first time the two schools have met in the postseason. The Cowboys unfortunately suffered their second ever bowl loss to the Aggies on a chilly night in December 1981 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Let’s peer back a few decades and look at the last time these two teams were bowl partners. I’ve got some observations, interesting tidbits and notes. I’d call this a rewatchable post, but there’s not a ton you can glean from the footage below. It’s included for posterity (magnifying glass recommended).
