Texas A&M OL calls Texas players ‘cowards’ for actions after Longhorns’ 2024 win in College Station

One of the best things about conference realignment has been the revival of the Texas A&M-Texas rivalry. This bitterness dates back to the 1890s, and now that the two schools are playing football again, the emotions are high. The Longhorns beat the Aggies last year in College Station and stomped on their logo in celebration, and in this season’s rematch, the Aggies have not forgotten that.
When talking to the media before the game on Friday, Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams was asked if there was a revenge factor to last year’s game and if he had a response to the Longhorns stomping on the logo, and he only said, “Cowards do what cowards do.”
The Longhorns are the underdog in this game, with a very slim chance of making the College Football Playoff after 3 losses. If they upset the Aggies and got help from around the country, it could get interesting.
The Aggies have been the better team and more consistent this season, entering this game undefeated and looking to make one last statement in the regular season.
The script from one year ago has flipped for these programs. Texas was the team comfortably in the College Football Playoff going on the road, while this season, it’s the Aggies.
Those postseason storylines are only amplified by the genuine hate that exists in this rivalry. These teams picked up where they left off after last season, which was the first game between the two since 2011, but it’s clear the hatred will never go away.
