I’m a Michigan fan but I love watching the great rivalry games around the country. I’m so happy these two schools are finally gonna meet on the field again. This rivalry is special

@@falloutfan6649 as long as school is in session, they play each other. Every football season except during Covid I would think. We Texans love our football. BTW I moved to Michigan and married a Michigander. I’m honored to be a member of this beautiful state.

I was in the 1999 LHB. We took our hats off as a sign of respect. From what I understand, the LHB took off their hats after Kennedy was assassinated. Is that true?

@@deborahthomas3539 Rivalry will resume when UT joins the SEC, fall of 2024. For years, UT has been in Big 12 and TAMU in SEC.

As much as I hate the Horns, we really are family. I'm ex-navy. UT and A&M are in the same boat as the military. As a sailor, I can make fun of the Morines. Let a civvie try it tho... I'll have em singing the Marine Corps Hymn like it is their JOBS. Same with us Aggies and Longhorns.

Jaime Cuellar clase of 65. After so many years I am thrilled to be able to feell the Aggie spirit in my heart as I watched the Aggie Band during the half time drill last Noviembre. God Bless all Aggies !!!!

They did, and I believe that group of Longhorns included several football players and other student-athletes. They have my deepest respect.

I was a drummer out on the field. I'll never forget marching off in complete silence.

bonfire not "non fire" Proofread B4 you post

Not to mention that hundreds of UT students, including some of the football players, drove down to College Station the morning after the collapse to help pull people from the stack. I get lost in the rivalry hate sometimes, but looking back at the Bonfire game always grounds me. Football is fun, but it’s not the most important thing.

@shahadah1451 What are you? The grammar police? So lame. --------- “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt @@shahadah1451

do they still do the Bonfire? I've heard conflicting reports.

@@pst51680 there is still a smaller scale bonfire. It's student-run and off campus, with no university involvement.

​@@strike171And it's supervised by ingénieurs

it wouldn't have killed you to show the proper, well-earned respect to UT.

Really, tu? Some people have no class!

We still would, even this new generation!! Hook em and Gig em (Aggie class of 2027)

In fact, they have been there in support of UT many times.

Valerie: I was there. On that day the point of bonfire was pointless. Promising Young lives were lost and the entire state was grieving and we thank Texas for the class they showed that day. I guarantee it would’ve been reciprocated if the shoe were on the other foot. Young life is so precious. Football is just a game! Deep down both sides know that and it was evident on that day. On the other hand, I was at Memorial Stadium for the 100th anniversary century game. Both bands were participating in a combined ceremony. While the Aggies were still on the field in formation, Texas players came running out of the tunnel and crashed right into our band members. If true respect for one another is lacking on either side, it is certainly not on the maroon side! Just FYI

@@markschneider3947 I am sure that the team was not informed that the band was still there. As strong as the rivalry is, both are Texas' universities. If it was on purpose, then the coaches needed to be fired...which I believe they have been but for other reasons.

@@stischer47 That is so lame! You run out of the tunnel wearing pads and a helmet and you can’t stop or veer away before you run into a bandmembers standing in formation without pads or a helmet? There were at least five or six collisions. It’s hard to call that an accident and sound believable. But at least you agreed that it was not acceptable. You asked a question and I gave you an answer. But I appreciate your response. Thank you and God bless!

Of course they would have. I grew up in Aggie land, and then went to UT. You cannot ask for a better friend than an Aggie, raised and educated 😅😅to service
