It is strangely odd and interesting the history these 2 schools have shared. This is one reason why I never had a problem with A&M joining the SEC. I really hope that this game develops into a big rivalry for the schools. Not a mean spirited one like the UT and Iron Bowl have become, but one built out of mutual respect. I doubt it will happen but, it would be nice if it grew to be bigger then UT and/or the Iron Bowl. I have no doubt it will be our #3 rivalry pretty soon.
In fact, the schools should come together and develop a name for the game with a unique trophy or something. Maybe call it the Junction Bowl and the trophy could be a bronze houndstooth hat. IDK, just thinking out loud but, I think something like that would be pretty neat.
