The TAM rivalry really had it's start in I think 1979 when they stole Johnny Hector from us. He was one of the top HS RB in the country and for all intents and purposes was going to LSU as he was from LA. Then at last minute he flipped to TAM. Rumor was he was paid. That started the hatred for TAM as far as I was concerned and for many others.


That was the old Southwest Conference. They paid everyone.

Rumor was, when Eric Dickerson was a senior in HS, Aggie boosters gave him a brand new, 1979 Trans Am…which he promptly got into, and drove to Dallas to sign his Letter of Intent with SMU. His reasoning: what are they gonna do, call a cop?

Step-sons. It would be wrong for us to come between them and their horned fathers. Although the LSU-TX series will forever be known as The Custody Battle.

For pretty much the entirety of their history A&M had a hated rival in Texas. Then, A&M got mad at Texas controlling the Big 12, so they moved to the SEC. One of the impacts of that was A&M lost its hated rival. So they, with the help of the SEC offices, tried to create a rivalry with LSU.



Texas must still be their rival because every single time the camera shows the crowd, there are numerous people doing the horns down sign. And they still sing about Texas in their fight song. Even though their students aren't old enough to remember playing Texas, they still know who their daddy is.

I could tell you stories about our old Aggie rivalry like when we stole 22 pair of their boots while they slept and they intern greased our flag pole with their flag but I don’t need the responding attacks about my age.

Is this a joke? Y’all mutherfrickers talk about Texas A&M nonstop. On the recruiting board, any player that commits to the Aggies is thought of as a horrible human being and they will obviously fail at life.

With all this talk on here about A&M seems to be the other way around.
