Texas and A&M Back to Thanksgiving

Brian Gamble (linebacker) after the infamous 1999 game following the Bonfire tragedy. I remember the early ass kickoff and the breakfast fiasco where the Longhorns never got served any at the Ramada. They ended up eating at IHOP or something. Major got food poisoning and Chris Samms had to start his first game as a Freshman in front of the most fired up crowd you've ever seen. I was in the stands that day and will never forget it:

Texas A&M and Texas will play their annual rivalry game on Thanksgiving night this year for the first time since 1993.


"I'm thrilled that ESPN has offered to move the game back to that traditional date of Thanksgiving," A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said.

The new contract calls for the game to be played on Thanksgiving the next two seasons. For more than a decade, the game has been played on the day after Thanksgiving.

"This tradition-rich rivalry between two great universities deserves this type of exposure," first-year A&M coach Mike Sherman said.

College Hoops Baby -- 3 Overtime Thriller

Is it possible to feel good about a loss?

If there ever was time, last night's barnburner in Stillwater provided that opportunity.

Texas and Oklahoma St. exchanged punches for all of a regulation and 3 Overtimes like a couple of heavyweight fighters until Oklahoma St. pulled out the victory on a desperation 3 with time winding down in the third overtime.

The legend of Kevin Durant continues to grow with every game as he had another monster peformance for the Longhorns.

Mark your calendars. These two teams play again in Austin, February 12th
