Texas and Texas A&M will finally be back on a football field together on Nov. 30, renewing a rivalry after over a decade apart. Debates still rage on about exactly when the game should be played though, with answers varying between Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the Saturday following the two holidays. If you ask Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, Thanksgiving Day is ideal. His only downside is potentially competing against the NFL, which now plays a primetime matchup for Americans to watch after having dinner. “I would love for that to happen sooner than later,” Del Conte said. “Yes, I...

For the first time as fellow SEC programs, Texas and Texas A&M will square off on Nov. 30. It will be the first time the two programs have met since 2011 when the Longhorns handed the Aggies a 27-25 loss. The Lonestar Showdown traditionally occurred on Thanksgiving or the next day. However, Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts is not interested in resuming the holiday tradition. Per TexAgs.com’s Olin Buchanan, Alberts “said A&M would not want to play future games against Texas on Thanksgiving Day.” Buchanan did not provide Alberts’ reasoning. The Nov. 30 matchup will be both teams’ final g...

With Mike Elko taking over the reins at Texas A&M, he is now coaching under a much bigger spotlight than he was at Duke. Texas A&M typically has a handful of prime-time games each season, and in 2024, it is no different. The Aggies will start the year with a huge season opener against Notre Dame. During the SEC spring meetings, the Aggies head coach shared his thoughts on early-season marquee matchups. “Yeah, so it’s interesting we went through this a little bit last year,” Elko started. “Obviously, [it’s] a different perspective on our end going against Clemson in the opener, but that was a h...

In the wake of the House settlement, there has been a ripple of concerns going on throughout college sports. That includes how walk-ons are going to be handled in the future. It was a topic that came up during SEC spring meetings, where Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko took a strong stance on the issue. In particular, there are concerns that there would be a hard cap set at 85 players on a college football roster. That would, in turn, eliminate walk-ons. It’s an idea that Elko made clear he’s against. “Yeah, I’m strongly against it,” Mike Elko said. “I think it’s absolutely against college footb...

EA Sports College Football 25 releases worldwide on July 19, roughly five weeks before the start of the 2024 college football season — and right when Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko needs his guys’ focus during fall camp. Elko is entering his 25th season coaching college football this coming year, so it’s not the first time the new Aggies headman has had to deal with a video game-related issue before. “In full disclosure, because I’ve been a part of this before, you can’t imagine how much the release of a hot new video game can impact your football team,” Elko said, via The Eagle’s Travis Brown...

The Packers officially signedEdgerrin Cooper, Green Bay’s second-round pick who also was the first linebacker selected in last month’s NFL Draft. Plus, Cooper was the highest drafted player from Texas A&M. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst announced the signing late Thursday. Cooper was a good pick up for Green Bay. He could’ve been a first-round pick if not for the position he plays. NFL teams don’t prioritize inside linebackers as much as they do the outside guys who can terrorize quarterbacks off the edge. It’s why Cooper went at pick No.45. Last month, Gutekunst raved about the forme...

After parting ways with Texas A&M last season, former head coach Jimbo Fisher no longer has to bite his tongue. During a recent appearance on “Off Campus,” Fisher claimed the current state of college sports is unfair. “I’m going to be honest with you: College sports is the most unfair thing we do. College sports is not fair, because there’s haves and have-nots,” Fisher said. “You think about how it’s set up. “Each commissioner, Greg Sankey has done an unbelievable job for the SEC. Big Ten commissioners have done an unbelievable job for them. There’s only so many pieces of the pie, so they’ve t...
