In November of 2012, when head coach Kevin Sumlin took his Texas A&M Aggies to Tuscaloosa to take on No. 1 Alabama, it was a chance for his program to step up to the big boy table.
They did, thanks to the heroics of eventual Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel.
The following September, the two met in College Station in a battle to see who eats first. Alabama did, after quite a fight from Manziel and the Aggies.
Last year, Alabama kicked Texas A&M out of the dining room and locked the door when they shut out the Aggies 59-0 in Tuscaloosa in a game that wasn't even as close as the score indicated.
