Ah yes, the conspiracy theories regarding Texas A&M’s willingness to continue avoiding Texas in multiple sports, most recently falling to Stanford in the NCAA Baseball Tournament with a chance to face the Longhorns in the Super Regional round this weekend.
Last week, I wrote a piece exploring said theories jokingly. However, some still believe the Aggies a purposely doing everything in their power to save every bit of bad blood before Texas joins the SEC in 2024.
On Friday, College Sports Wire Senior Editor Patrick Conn and LSU Wire Managing Editor Tyler Nettuno continued the discussion. Texas is set to take on Stanford in Palo Alto on Saturday night. Disappointed that some iteration of the Lone Star Showdown will yet again have to wait, Patrick Conn, like most of us, was rightfully disappointed.
“I was looking forward to watching Texas vs. Texas A&M,” Conn Stated. “But much like basketball, Texas A&M goes out of their way to lose to avoid playing Texas before joining the SEC”
Putting all the cards on the table, Texas vs. Texas A&M, Texas A&M vs. Texas, Aggies vs. Horns, Maroon and White vs. Burt Orange, etc., it will all happen in due time in a setting of significant meaning, but nothing will top the moment they final reunite on the gridiron, as the 2024 SEC schedule is set to be released on Wednesday, June 14.
