Tangent
Texas A&M, which is hosting the game, has a plan planned all weekend of activities exclusively focused on the test of strength. A “Ruck Across the Brazos” begins Friday, with people from both schools transporting a single football from Austin to Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, including across the Brazos River. A “yell drill” A&M does not have a cheerleading team, and instead a team of “Yell Leaders” teaches students chants the night before the home game. The traditional midnight start time will be moved to 5:30 PM Friday and a concert featuring Pat Green and the Randy Rodgers Band, both Texas favorites, will begin the night before the game at 8 PM. There will be a BBQ cook-off at Kyle Field before kickoff and a pre-game parade will feature the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, Parsons Mounted Cavalry and the school mascot, Reveille, a rough collie.
Big number
76. That's how many times the Longhorns have beaten the Aggies in the history of the rivalry. The all time series record belongs to University of Texas: 76-37-5.
