The Lone Star Showdown is officially coming back to the gridiron in just over three months and Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts recently discussed the possibility of the trophy returning as well.
“There has been some discussions about those types of things, I don’t have specifics on the details of that. Those are some of the details that still need to be worked out as we kind of work through it. That would be fun. I just got a trophy the other day from NACDA that detailed our sixth place finish in the Director’s Cup. People are proud of that and worked towards that so we’ll see where that goes,” Alberts said Thursday. “Obviously in the state of Texas, this game is really important to a lot of people. It divides a lot of people but this is what makes it college athletics.
“I’m telling you, I played in a lot of football games, the rivalry games hit different, they just do. It’s a privilege and an honor to get to play in rivalry games like this. I said it, and I believe this, give us a little time, Texas-Texas A&M will be the biggest rivalry game in college football. It has that opportunity, passion and we’re looking forward to it.”
The Aggies host the Longhorns at Kyle Field on Nov. 30.
