0:09
The pits are lit, the speakers have
0:11
been turned up to 11, and there's a
0:12
buzz across the 40 acres today.
0:14
We're inching closer to the return
0:16
of the Longhorn Aggie Lone Star
0:18
Football Showdown to the UT campus.
0:20
Now the season hasn't gone as some
0:22
Texas fans might have expected, but
0:24
could a win over the undefeated
0:25
Aggies be enough to chalk up the
0:27
year as a W?
0:28
We're going to talk about the season
0:29
so far and what the Longhorns will
0:31
need to do to come away with a
0:33
victory.
0:48
The Austin Signal is a production of
0:49
KUT news hosted by Jerry Quijano.
0:50
Plus it's been 15 years since the Longhorns and Aggies played here in
0:50
Austin. Is the rivalry between the state's biggest schools still all it's
0:50
cracked up to be? Reheat those leftovers, pull up a seat. A
0:51
special episode of Austin
0:52
Signal is kicking off,
0:54
and that's coming up.
0:56
Next.
1:08
Howdy out there, thank you for being
1:10
with us today. This is Austin
1:11
Signal. I'm your host, Jerry E.
1:13
Connell. It is Friday, November
1:15
28th, 2025,
1:17
which means we are more than 131
1:20
years on from the first meeting
1:21
between the football teams
1:23
representing the University of Texas
1:24
and Texas AM University.
1:27
The Longhorns won eight of the first
1:28
10 matchups between the two teams,
1:30
and they've been victorious in their
1:32
last pair of meetings in 2024
1:35
and back in 2011 when the teams
1:37
were still competing in the Big 12
1:39
Conference. After more than a decade
1:41
without facing each other, the
1:42
schools are now both members of the
1:44
Southeastern Conference, and the
1:46
rivalry is positioned to continue
1:48
many years into the future.
1:49
Tonight's matchup is going to be the
1:51
120th in series
1:53
history. And though the Longhorns
1:55
will be hosting senior night for the
1:56
final home game of the regular
1:58
season, it's the undefeated Aggies
2:00
who go into tonight's game as a
2:02
slight favorite for the victory.
2:04
Texas will not be making their third
2:06
consecutive college football playoff
2:08
appearance this year, but they
2:10
do have an opportunity to blemish
2:12
their in state rivals' attempt at
2:14
a perfect season.
2:15
Kickoff is coming up at 6 30,
2:17
and here to get us ready for the
2:18
game is Danny Davis.
2:20
He is the University of Texas beat
2:22
writer for the Austin American
2:24
Statesman. Danny, thanks for being
2:25
with us today.
2:26
Thanks for having me. Hope hope
2:27
everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
2:28
Oh, I am feeling full, Danny.
2:30
I'm just getting over that.
2:31
So let me let me start really simply
2:33
with a two part question.
2:35
One or two words, the twenty
2:37
twenty five Texas football season
2:39
has been what?
2:42
Disappointing.
2:43
And is that how you would have
2:44
anticipated describing this season
2:46
about three months ago?
2:48
No, I mean I think you could maybe
2:50
could have quibbled ahead of the
2:51
season whether or not Texas should
2:53
have been the number one team in all
2:54
the polls with, you know, some of
2:55
the turnover and stuff they had on
2:56
their team. But this clearly was a
2:57
team that had national championship
2:59
aspirations, was a playoff team the
3:01
last two years. And to add insult
3:03
to injury, A and M's going to the
3:04
playoffs. Texas Texas probably going
3:06
to the playoffs. North Texas may be
3:08
going to the playoffs. And so SMU
3:09
may be going to the playoffs.
3:10
So a lot of people in the state has
3:11
have kinda like passed Texas by this
3:13
season. This was a team that many
3:14
thought was going to win a national
3:15
title this year.
3:16
Yeah, it's definitely a a rough year
3:17
to be a Texas football team that
3:19
isn't going to the college football
3:20
playoff, it seems like everyone
3:22
else is. And as you said, you know,
3:24
I think a lot of fans would describe
3:25
the season as being disappointing so
3:27
far. Although they're they have
3:29
gotten on track a little bit the
3:30
last few weeks.
3:31
What do you think the team has been
3:33
doing well well enough in in
3:34
the last month or so?
3:37
Their offenses looked a lot better
3:38
since that Kentucky game where they
3:40
only scored thirteen points in
3:41
overtime and kind of sweated out on
3:42
the long night in Lexington.
3:44
Their offenses look good.
3:45
Their defense on the other hand
3:47
has struggled. It they just haven't
3:48
really been able to get on the same
3:50
page when their defenses look great.
3:51
The offense has struggled and the
3:52
offenses look good.
3:53
The defense has struggled.
3:54
But over the past month it's been
3:56
the offense and Archimanian that
3:57
have been carrying this team and
3:58
looking like a lot of people
4:00
expected them to look when the
4:01
season started.
4:02
Yeah, well speaking of Arch, you
4:03
know, as you mentioned, the number
4:04
one spot to start the year in the A
4:06
P college football poll to start
4:08
the year, and a lot of expectations
4:10
on the team as well as on Arch.
4:12
From your coverage of the team this
4:13
season, how have you seen him adjust
4:15
to the starting spot warts
4:17
and all?
4:19
Yeah, he's had his struggles.
4:20
I mean he's I think beginning of the
4:21
season was not living up to the
4:23
hype, had some pretty whore games
4:25
against you know, UTEP was a
4:27
was a bad game and you know didn't
4:28
look great against Ohio State and
4:30
wasn't really the Heisman trophy
4:32
contender a lot of people expected
4:33
him to. But he's as time has gone
4:35
by, which I think sometimes people
4:36
forget these are twenty, twenty one
4:38
year old kids and this is his first
4:39
year as a starter and maybe things
4:41
just the lights not gonna instantly
4:43
go on. As he's gotten more reps,
4:44
he's look he's looked a lot better
4:45
in this past month and is beginning
4:47
to look like the person who was
4:49
really hyped at the beginning of the
4:50
season just took a little while
4:51
longer than some Texas fans and
4:53
pundits expected.
4:55
Well, rivalry games give fans
4:57
basically every opportunity to talk
4:59
smack and you know, Longhorn
5:02
fans I'm sure might be saying that A
5:03
and M really hasn't played some of
5:05
the SEC's toughest opponents
5:07
on their schedule this year.
5:09
How for real is this Aggies team
5:10
that's coming to Austin?
5:12
I mean, I think this Aggies team is
5:15
eleven and oh is eleven and no.
5:16
I mean this is still the SEC.
5:18
Texas fans can quibble and
5:20
complain about the Aggies schedule,
5:22
but Texas barely beat Arkansas.
5:24
They barely beat Mississippi State.
5:25
They barely beat Kentucky.
5:26
So the SEC is not an easy
5:28
conference. AM's done what it's
5:29
needed to do.
5:30
It had, you know, a really
5:31
impressive rally against
5:34
South Carolina and had that game in
5:35
Notre Dame and Notre Dame's the
5:37
other playoff game, beat them at the
5:38
at the Buzzers.
5:39
I mean, they've done what they
5:40
needed to do. Maybe their strength
5:41
of schedule isn't exactly what some
5:43
other teams are, but eleven and oh
5:45
in the SEC is eleven and oh in the
5:46
SEC and I'm not gonna take anything
5:47
away from Texas A and M and the way
5:49
they've played this season.
5:50
Okay, so let's talk about the game.
5:52
If Texas does end up
5:54
victorious tonight and blemishing
5:56
the Aggies a perfect record
5:58
so far this season, what what are
6:00
gonna be the reasons why they are
6:01
victorious?
6:03
It's probably gonna be, you know,
6:04
playing well on offense like they
6:05
have this season. Their defense is
6:07
gonna need to make another stop
6:08
because this AM team is really
6:09
talented on offense too.
6:11
So they, you know, they can
6:11
definitely get into a shootout.
6:13
So, I mean, last year was a
6:15
seventeen to seven game in College
6:16
Station. I don't expect it to be as
6:18
that low scoring.
6:19
This year I expect more points to be
6:21
to be scored.
6:22
But Texas if the Texas defense can
6:24
make a couple stops, the offense can
6:25
keep humming.
6:26
I think Texas definitely has
6:28
a shot to win this week.
6:29
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
6:30
You know, the the forecasts are
6:31
always changing. It looks like we
6:32
might be getting some rain on Friday
6:33
night. I'm wondering how that might
6:35
you know, affect the scoring of the
6:36
game, but I agree that I would
6:38
anticipate a little bit higher
6:39
scoring on a fair this time around.
6:42
So let's talk about the flip side.
6:44
A loss tonight would mark the third
6:46
three loss season of Steve
6:47
Sarkeesian's five year tenure here
6:49
at the University of Texas.
6:51
And there's been a lot of turnover
6:53
among college football coaches
6:55
and programs this season.
6:57
With everything going on right now,
6:58
do you anticipate that Sark will
7:00
still be leading this team next
7:02
season, win or lose tonight, or do
7:03
you think that tonight's outcome
7:05
might have a little bit of an effect
7:06
on that?
7:08
I mean i i I would be stunned
7:10
if Steve got fired by Texas.
7:12
I mean, he just made the playoffs
7:14
each of the last two years.
7:15
This isn't a Penn State situation
7:16
where and James Franklin have been
7:17
there for a while. They've just been
7:18
kind of looking for a change.
7:19
They just extended him.
7:20
I think his contract goes through
7:21
twenty thirty-one and it pays him a
7:23
lot of money. So unless like there's
7:25
some things going on behind the
7:27
scenes and a lot of you know
7:29
drama behind behind the scenes that
7:30
we don't know about, I can't see
7:32
them separating.
7:33
I can't see Steve moving on and
7:34
other than some rumors and reports
7:35
about him maybe I in the NFL.
7:37
I don't think his resume looks good
7:39
enough for that to happen right now.
7:40
So I think these I think it's you
7:42
know, damn years happen.
7:43
An eight and three an eight and four
7:45
or a nine and three season's not the
7:46
end of the world. It's not what
7:47
Texas Texas expected.
7:49
But, you know, you give him a a year
7:50
that this is still kind of
7:51
rebuilding the year if Arch comes
7:53
back, that's a that's a very good
7:54
starting point. And you see what
7:55
they do next year. But I I would be
7:56
stunned if Steve is not the coach of
7:58
this team in twenty twenty six.
7:59
But college football's weird, so who
8:01
knows?
8:02
That is for sure the only truth
8:04
that we can depend on.
8:05
Okay, so let me ask you about
8:07
tonight.
8:08
You know, I think a lot has been
8:10
made about Texas showing up for the
8:12
big games, and maybe not showing up
8:13
when the opponent i isn't the big
8:15
name or not a ranked opponent.
8:17
Do you think that Texas has
8:19
enough to come out victorious
8:21
tonight?
8:22
I mean I'd argue that Texas didn't
8:24
show up against Georgia and that was
8:25
a pretty big point.
8:26
That's a good point.
8:27
That's a fair point.
8:29
Yeah, it'd I it'd be pretty stunning
8:31
stunning if Texas didn't show up
8:32
tonight. I mean this is, you know,
8:33
the game of the year in the state.
8:35
These are a lot of these kids are
8:36
Texas kids and they know all about
8:37
what Texas in Texas AM is,
8:39
even though those two teams didn't
8:40
play for a while. They know what
8:41
this tonight is.
8:42
They I'm sure there's lots of people
8:43
that they'd love to spoil the Aggies
8:45
tonight, but also, you know, they
8:47
know that they still have an outside
8:48
shot at the playoff berth, and
8:50
that's not gonna happen if they
8:51
don't win win tonight and
8:53
win convincingly.
8:54
And, you know, even if they don't
8:55
win, even if they don't get in the
8:56
playoffs, I think you'd like to head
8:58
into the postseason, head into the
8:59
bowl season for some of these
9:01
people, you know, end your careers
9:02
or head into the off season with
9:03
with some positive momentum.
9:05
So I would be stunned if this Texas
9:07
team laid down and we know that the
9:08
Aggies are gonna give it all that
9:10
they can 'cause they definitely
9:11
wanna keep that perfect record
9:12
intact and secure a spot in the SEC
9:14
championship game.
9:15
All right, we'll see what plays out
9:16
tonight. We've been speaking with
9:17
Danny Davis.
9:18
He is the University of Texas beat
9:19
writer for the Austin American
9:21
Statesman. Danny, thank you for your
9:22
time.
9:23
Thanks for having me.
9:34
This is Austin's Signal.
9:35
Thanks for being here.
9:36
For the Texas Longhorns and their
9:38
fans, Bevo is more
9:40
than just a mascot.
9:41
At just over two thousand pounds,
9:43
Bevo takes center stage before
9:45
every game, hyping up fans with his
9:47
tunnel entrance onto the field and
9:49
then trotting around the sidelines.
9:51
But many years ago, before there
9:53
was a Longhorn named Bevo,
9:55
there was another mascot, Pig.
9:58
Well, a dog named Pig,
10:00
actually. Chris Wimmer told
10:02
Texas Standard all about it.
10:07
I assume like most people that Bevo
10:10
was the first mascot of the
10:11
University of Texas football team.
10:13
It turns out he was a little dog
10:15
that was owned by the first
10:17
Texas University of Texas Athletic
10:19
Director.
10:21
He would just roam around, he
10:23
would go to different classrooms and
10:25
check in on students.
10:27
He started attending sporting
10:28
events. He became kind of
10:30
the unofficial mascot of the
10:32
what they called the varsity
10:33
football team at that time.
10:35
Of course it didn't have a mascot.
10:36
We didn't they weren't called the
10:37
Longhorns then.
10:38
So Pig started traveling to all the
10:40
different games and it was at
10:42
one of those games where he was
10:44
standing next to a football player
10:45
who had the nickname Pig.
10:47
The name Pig was then given to
10:49
the dog itself.
10:55
Yeah, unfortunately, he
10:57
ran into a lot of a problem that a
10:59
lot of pets run into.
11:01
He was hit by a car in nineteen
11:03
twenty three, right there close
11:05
to campus.
11:07
It was thought at the beginning
11:09
after his injury that he was
11:10
actually gonna survive.
11:11
Everyone thought he was probably all
11:13
right. It turned out that his
11:14
injuries were more internal,
11:16
and a few days after he was hit
11:18
by a car, he passed away.
11:25
There was a huge funeral
11:27
for him. I think it said something
11:29
like, a thousand people turned
11:31
up and and then of course the
11:33
student body of the University of
11:35
Texas honored him with a
11:36
funeral procession
11:38
and buried him on campus, a
11:40
place that you can kind of still
11:42
visit today.
11:43
It's a little bit difficult to
11:45
discern exactly where his burial
11:46
spot is, but it is still
11:48
on campus today.
11:57
I think that this is just one of the
11:59
earliest concepts that we
12:01
can see where a
12:03
mascot has become
12:05
not only associated with the team,
12:07
but almost critical to
12:09
to the team's function.
12:10
The he went everywhere with the
12:12
team. The students loved him, the
12:13
players loved him.
12:15
He really ingrained himself into the
12:17
society.
12:23
My name is Chris Wimmer.
12:25
I'm from Des Moines, Iowa
12:27
originally. I live in Brenham, Texas
12:29
now. And I'm a full time
12:31
podcast producer and host.
12:34
Alright, we've got more about the
12:35
Texas-Texas AM rivalry
12:37
coming up in just one moment.
12:39
This is Austin Signal.
12:41
We'll be back after the break.
13:00
You are tuned in to Austin Signal.
13:02
Thanks for being here today.
13:03
When it comes to college football,
13:05
the school's marching band is a key
13:07
component of game day, and the
13:09
rivalries between schools can extend
13:11
to the bands as well.
13:12
Richard Hay is a former member
13:14
of the Aggie Marching Band.
13:16
For the Texas Standard, he recalls
13:18
the day AM and UT
13:20
almost came to blows in front
13:22
of then Governor Ann Richards.
13:25
Howdy howdy, my name is Richard Hay,
13:27
and I am a half Chilean
13:29
Texan Google engineer,
13:31
former member of the Fighting Techgy
13:34
Band, and I'm here to
13:36
talk about some stories of the
13:38
past.
13:43
My freshman year, we marched out
13:44
in the shape of a longhorn head on
13:46
Kyle Field.
13:47
Of course, you know, there's a part
13:49
of the song where they sing
13:51
about sawing varsity's horns off,
13:53
and so we countermarched the horns
13:54
and the head kept going, so sawed
13:56
the horn on the field, right?
13:57
And I was in the left horn, so it
13:59
was nice to, you know, when I s made
14:00
that step into the counter march,
14:01
and then the crowd goes wild.
14:03
When I was a senior, Ann Richards
14:05
was elected governor, she decided
14:07
that she wanted to have a kumbaya
14:09
moment and that both bands
14:11
would play Texas R Texas at
14:13
halftime.
14:15
So of course this this didn't really
14:17
go the way that she had anticipated.
14:19
Right at the end of the halftime,
14:21
the the the the football teams were
14:22
coming back out on the field, and
14:25
about twenty members of the Texas
14:26
football team and the flag guy
14:29
start making a beeline, like
14:31
instead of just funneling right out
14:32
onto their onto their sideline, they
14:33
were they were heading right for the
14:35
Aggie band.
14:36
So I think the flag guy gets to the
14:37
perimeter and like one of the
14:38
Susaphones kind of rolls around the
14:39
Susan phone, knocks him out.
14:41
So flagging you know goes down.
14:42
You can see on the video.
14:43
And then some of the football
14:45
players they they actually start
14:46
hitting people that are in the Aggie
14:48
band. So this was not a pretty
14:49
incident at all.
14:50
But the good news is John Makovic,
14:52
who was the coach at Texas at the
14:54
time. He he saw these guys,
14:56
so he started immediately running to
14:58
intersect them before
15:00
they actually hit the Aggie
15:02
band. Didn't quite make it.
15:04
But he did get there within like
15:05
literally seconds of this
15:07
of the of the confrontation, and
15:09
then he started yelling at his
15:10
players saying that they would be
15:11
kicked off the Texas football team.
15:14
And then he apologized.
15:16
He pretty much diffused
15:18
the situation before it became a
15:19
much bigger thirty
15:22
years later ESPN 30 for 30
15:24
thing, where it's just like this big
15:25
fight in the field and it's like
15:27
half an hour of futin around and
15:28
whatever. So fortunately it didn't
15:30
evolve.
15:31
But of course this is what came of
15:33
Ann Richards' desire for Raposhmo
15:35
and because, you know, that's how it
15:37
goes.
15:38
My name is Richard Hay, and
15:40
I am a former member of the
15:42
Fight in Texas Aggie Band.
15:57
It's been fifteen years since the
15:59
University of Texas football team
16:00
last played Texas AM here in
16:02
Austin. Tonight that drought
16:04
comes to an end.
16:05
Kickoff for this season's Lone Star
16:07
Showdown is set for six thirty at
16:09
DKR Texas Memorial Stadium,
16:11
and to prepare us for the event,
16:13
KUT's Kailey Hunt caught
16:15
up with both Longhorns and Aggies
16:17
to discuss why the rivalry is
16:19
so important to them.
16:23
Tonight's game will mark the 120th
16:25
matchup between the UT football
16:27
team and A & M.
16:28
And for many Texans, including
16:30
myself, the matchup is more than
16:32
just a game.
16:33
It's somewhat of a family and
16:35
Thanksgiving tradition.
16:37
That's why I had to give my Aggie
16:38
cousin Case Harper a call.
16:40
Are you
16:40
Every year we'd sit on the floor in
16:42
front of a television, me and Burnt
16:44
Orange and Case and Maroon,
16:46
cheering on our teams and making
16:48
jokes about the other.
16:49
Looking back, it's funny, Case
16:51
says, because
16:53
You go from being grateful for one
16:54
another to you're wanting another
16:56
one to be sad for an entire year.
16:58
That's right.
16:59
Whoever's team won got bragging
17:01
rights for a whole year.
17:02
I pointed out to case that I seem
17:04
to remember having more bragging
17:06
rights as a kid.
17:07
I mean, you did have more bragging
17:09
rights in the Mac Brown era, but
17:11
even then I remember watching, you
17:13
know, five and seven A and M teams
17:15
win that game.
17:15
It's just you can throw the record
17:17
and the stats and everything out the
17:19
window. These two teams don't like
17:20
each other. Literally anything can
17:22
happen.
17:22
To help understand this intensity
17:24
level, I enlisted the help of Tolga
17:27
Ozerchu, an associate
17:29
professor of instruction and UT's
17:31
Department of Kinesiology and Health
17:33
Education, or as he describes
17:35
himself as, a professor of sports.
17:38
The classic kind of analysis
17:40
of rivalries is that they
17:42
trigger this sort of primal,
17:44
almost like evolutionary in
17:46
group, out group sort of stuff
17:48
within us.
17:49
Nobody, I learned, embodies
17:51
this concept more than college
17:53
freshmen.
17:54
I was able to track down a couple
17:56
last weekend at the Texas versus
17:58
Arkansas football game.
17:59
Their names are Hansi Collum and
18:01
Catherine Doe.
18:02
And like everyone that goes to A
18:04
& M is like Texas CAP.
18:06
Yeah, I know. Yeah Sounds
18:08
you didn't get it to UT
18:11
By Texas CAP, they mean
18:13
UT's Coordinated Admission
18:14
Program. It's the enrollment pathway
18:17
for high school seniors that don't
18:18
gain automatic admission to the
18:20
university.
18:21
Yeah, at the end of the day it's
18:22
just school. Yeah.
18:23
Like we're all we're all like going
18:24
for the same reason, so just some of
18:26
us got it and some of us didn't.
18:28
All of this, Tolga Ozerchu
18:30
says, is ironic, because at
18:32
the end of the day, it's something
18:34
that we humans have made up
18:35
ourselves.
18:36
Just twenty two guys chasing a ball
18:38
around and depending on what color
18:40
they wear, we care deeply one way or
18:41
the other. But our ability to kind
18:43
of like grow that identity around
18:45
these things and and care so
18:47
deeply, I think that's very
18:48
fascinating.
18:49
We also can't talk about the UT
18:51
and Texas AM football rivalry
18:53
without understanding a bit of its
18:55
history. To get a better sense of
18:57
the historical importance of the
18:58
matchup, I talked to Kyle R.
19:00
M., a curator at UT Stark
19:03
Center for Physical Culture and
19:04
Sports.
19:05
RM recently put together an
19:07
exhibit called Longhorns vs.
19:09
Aggies.
19:10
Both schools, he says, seem
19:12
to have been at odds with each other
19:13
since the onset.
19:15
One school represents
19:17
one side of a Texan identity
19:19
and being centered in Austin
19:21
and the capital in what's
19:23
now a big city, focusing
19:25
on liberal arts and humanities,
19:27
the other being rurally
19:29
based and focusing
19:31
on agricultural studies,
19:33
engineering and veterinary sciences,
19:35
things like this.
19:36
Longhorns call Aggies farmers,
19:38
Aggies call Longhorns tea sips.
19:41
Both schools' fight songs bid
19:43
the other farewell.
19:44
The Texas fight song says goodbye
19:46
to AM.
19:49
And
19:52
the Aggie War hymn says so
19:54
long to Texas University.
19:59
At
20:04
the Arkansas game, there was also
20:06
Connor Kalman and Sahit Tuma.
20:09
Kalman went to UT and Tuma
20:11
went to Texas AM.
20:12
Both say they are excited about the
20:14
rivalry coming back to their
20:15
hometown of Austin.
20:17
I think that the the old old
20:19
animosities are coming back, playful
20:21
animosities, but animosities
20:23
nonetheless.
20:23
So yeah, I think it was
20:25
kind of just lying dormant for a
20:27
while and now it's fully
20:29
inflamed again.
20:30
Yeah, I mean this guy says playful
20:32
animosity. It's not.
20:33
It's real animosity, okay?
20:34
I I I d do not I'm joking.
20:36
Yeah.
20:37
I mean it's a good idea. As my cousin
20:38
Case and I have gotten older, the
20:40
matchup has also evolved.
20:42
In some ways, it's a reminder of
20:44
the simpler, happier times of
20:46
childhood, and spending time with
20:48
family who are no longer with us.
20:50
It's kind of cool to think back on
20:51
it now and be appreciative
20:53
of the wins and the losses really.
20:55
I mean, just being around people
20:57
that you care about.
20:58
But in other ways, the rivalry
21:00
is still just as strong and intense
21:02
as ever.
21:03
Kickoff for tonight's game is set
21:05
for 6 30 p.m.
21:06
At DKR Memorial Stadium.
21:08
Until then, hook 'em.
21:10
