Texas A&M is preparing to play Texas in Week 14 as a historic rivalry is renewed. The teams have not played since 2011, so to say fans are excited would be an understatement.
If you need any proof, just check out the Texas A&M police blotter ahead of the matchup. The official account for Texas A&M Police has been providing some hilarious updates. At one point, 2 men entered the stadium with fake construction credentials and construction vests. The pair were arrested for criminal trespass.
Then, one man was riding a horse and was flanked by a man and his dog riding on a longhorn. Both men were asked and agreed to leave campus.
