The Texas A&M baseball team is the third overall seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament and will host the Bryan-College Station Regional at Blue Bell Park.
The No. 3 Aggies (44-13, 19-11 SEC) will battle against the University of Texas, University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Grambling State. Prior to postseason baseball beginning, a prominent Longhorns player spoke about the matchup versus Texas A&M
“A&M has always been a rivalry,” sophomore Jared Thomas said Monday. “I’ve never liked them personally.”
The beef between Aggies and Longhorns fans has increased in recent years and only intensified this season. Texas A&M traveled to UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin at the beginning of March and blew out Texas 9-2.
With the return of the Lone Star Showdown in November at Kyle Field, plus the Longhorns joining the SEC in the fall, the vitriol between the two Texas fan bases is likely to keep skyrocketing.
We’ll see if the trash talk can remain civilized and respectful as it continues to ratchet up.
