I know we don't play them anymore (thank goodness) but we played more games against them than anyone else and there was always the tradition of playing on Thanksgiving Day so I can't forget them even if wanted to. Just an amateur historian view here.
5. 1974 UT 32 aggies 3. They had a chance to win the SWC if they won this game. This was the first game I ever saw where I was in the first couple of rows I was right behind the Longhorn band. This was when former Royal assistant Emory Bellard was the aggie coach. EB helped design the wishbone offense. These men were good friends but when a coach going up against his boss he wants to win really bad and often the games are viscous. This game taught me the difference in watching a game on the field or way up high in the stands. That aggie team and especially their dc was the dirtiest team I've ever seen. I learned that dl will throw an uppercut to the groin but this was the only game I saw a guy do it every play. Remember Brody Trahan from MB's first recruiting class? It was his daddy, Warren Trahan, that did it. Helmets intentionally going for the knees. Their dc I was talking about was Melvin Robertson and he bragged about coaching like that. Getting back to the game. Like I said if they had won they would have won the SWC. But they fumbled on the first play of the game. On the next play we scored. We kicked off. On their next play they fumbled again only this time our lb caught it in mid air and scored a td. Less than a minute into the game and it was already 14/0. There's more. After the kickoff they fumbled again only time we only kicked a fg and less than two minutes into the game we were ahead 17/0. I'm telling you it was a great day to be a Texas Longhorn in Memorial Stadium that day. They also had the number one ranked defense but Earl Campbell ran over them and still armed them like they were wimps. Of course that's what they are anyway. And after that game those aggies turned their backs to us and ran to the dressing room only two fb players and their hc shook hands.
4. 1998 UT 26 aggies 24. Where Ricky broke Tony Dorsett's career record for yards and he did it in style on a 60 yard td. We jacked around and instead of being way ahead they made a rally and we had to kick a fg with 5 seconds left to win. But sometimes beating those aggies on the last play is better than blowing them out. Good job clob.
3. 1995 UT 16 aggies 6 The last SWC season, the last SWC game, and the last SWC championship was at stake. They had a 30+ home winning streak. They were picked to win the NC by some people remember that clob? We had been struggling the last few years but that year James Brown developed as a qb and a freshman named Ricky Williams made his name that day. We forced a whole bunch of to's and one play our cb Bryant Westbrook absolutely destroyed their rb. Just a couple of years before that they had a good team went undefeated they beat us in Austin but after the game their players danced on the Bevo logo surely people on here remember that. I guess they thought we were never going to get even. We did. Remember Mike Adams going to the aggie logo and waving the UT flag? And once again they were cowards and walked off the field without shaking hands. I'm telling ya poor aggies never sounded better than it did that day. Good job clob.
2. 1940 UT 7 aggies 0 Now this is going way back in the day but stay with me on this one. We all love to ridicule the aggies it's like Lucy can't resist pulling the fb away from Charlie Brown right when he's getting ready to kick it. We like to remind them that they haven 't won a NC since 1939. But this was the year after and going into this game they were ranked #1. Back then the Rose Bowl didn 't have the Pac 10/Big 10 tie in, so if the aggies won they would have gone to the RB. So here's where the game came in. On the second play of the game UT receiver Noble Doss caught a pass and was down on the 1 yard line. We scored on the next play and less than a minute into the game it was 7/0. There were no more points scored that day. I think our offense had one first down the rest of the game all we did afterwards was punt. But the nations number one ranked team kept turning it over right when they were ready to score and all was lost. The poor aggies chant was born that day. At that point the rivalry standing was pretty even but from that game UT dominated.
1. 2011 UT 27 aggies 25 No need to go into detail on this one my burnt orange brethren. On the last play in the last game. I will tell you I was so pumped and I didn't sleep until the next day. We had a terrible team that year but this made it worthwhile.
