Texas Football: Legislators correct in pushing return of Longhorns-Aggies

It seems like we get hints at someone making a significant push to reignite the Lone Star Showdown between Texas football and the Texas A&M Aggies every year. That’s no different this fall, as Texas State Legislators pushed a bill requiring the Aggies to face Texas football annually again.

According to the Star Telegram, there was a bill that was pushed through to revoke state money for scholarships from players if Texas and Texas A&M didn’t play on one of a set of specified dates each fall. The very fact that this bill was generated by one of the state representatives in the first place shows the significance of this rivalry in the state of Texas.
