A&M's softball win over Texas shows Lone Star State rivalry still matters

Almost six years after Texas and Texas A&M stopped playing its annual football game, the rivalry between the two schools is still alive and well.

What happened in College Station this weekend served as yet another reminder of the passion involved when teams from the state's most prominent athletic programs face each other.

On Sunday, Texas A&M's softball team beat Texas 3-1 to win the NCAA regional at A&M. The Aggies will face Tennessee in a best-of-three series in the Super Regional round this weekend.

After the game, A&M coach Jo Evans told reporters while she'll certainly take the win over the Longhorns, she was nervous about how the historic relationship could affect Sunday's game.
