Here we go again, folks! With one more season remaining ahead of the revitalization o the Lone Star Showdown between Texas A&M and Texas during the 2024 college football season, trash talk has made its way outside of the rivalry beltway, as former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is now siding with the Texas Longhorns, who despite 14 years of underwhelming play on the gridiron, still reign supreme when comparing both programs.
In a recent podcast episode of “Snaps with Aaron and T-Bob,” Murray’s conversation with former LSU Center T-Bob Hebert took an interesting turn when Murray flat-out stated (while ignoring recent statistics) that Texas A&M will forever remain Texas’s little brother from now on.
Texas A&M will never own Texas. They will forever be viewed as the little brother in the state of Texas. Regardless of where the programs are, they will always be viewed as the little brother in the state.
If we compare the recent performance of each program in the 2022 season, the Longhorns’ 8-5 record is better than A&M’s 5-7 showing. However, as Hebert pointed out earlier this week, Texas A&M has a solid overall record of 106-58 since 2010, with a 7-4 record in 11 bowl games over 13 seasons. They have also won two NY6 Bowls (the 2012 Cotton Bowl and the 2020 Orange Bowl). On the other hand, Texas has done most of its damage in the Big 12, compared to A&M leaving for the SEC in 2012. They have gone 91-72 overall, with a 6-3 record in nine bowl games over 13 seasons, including one NY6 Win against Georgia in the 2019 Sugar Bowl. (“We’re back!)
From one little brother to another… Texas A&M I feel your pain
Texas will always run that state 🤘🏽

Nevertheless, Texas’s entry into SEC for the 2024 season and beyond should begin to settle the score between both programs soon enough. Still, as we know, the Twitter battles and podcast hot takes will never cease to continue because that’s what rivalries are made of in the 21st Century.
