Episode Synopsis

The Lone Star Showdown between Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies is back after a 13-year hiatus, now annual due to both teams being in the same conference. The 120th edition, scheduled for Friday, marks its return to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium since 2010. Coach Steve Sarkisian welcomes the Friday slot, allowing the rivalry to stand alone in the spotlight, unlike last years Saturday night game. Despite 13 FBS games on Friday, including the Egg Bowl and Georgia vs. Georgia Tech, Sarkisian believes this slot benefits the rivalry, as playing on Thanksgiving presents logistical challenges. Historically played on Thanksgiving, the Friday slot allows fans to travel after holiday festivities, making it easier to attend this iconic rivalry game.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
