![]() ![]() Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns went to Fayetteville in 2021 and got ambushed by the Razorbacks, 40-21. Texas, which leads the all-time series with A&M 76-37-5, sent the Aggies off to the SEC with a loss in 2011 in College Station after UT kicker Justin Tucker silenced a raucous Kyle Field crowd by booting a 40-yard field goal as time expired for a 27-25 victory. Some league sources have said A&M getting to host the first SEC meeting between the Aggies and Longhorns was an olive branch to A&M for the SEC admitting Texas into the league after the Aggies had expressed their desire to be the only SEC school from the Lone Star State.

Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork has been saying for two years the Aggies would host the inaugural SEC league matchup between the Longhorns and Aggies - 100-year rivals who last met in football in College Station 12 years ago. ![]() ![]() With so many games of interest away from Austin for the Longhorns in 2024 (considering the road trips to A&M and Arkansas and UT’s annual neutral-site game with Oklahoma in Dallas), Del Conte will at least have the Georgia Bulldogs coming to DKR to help sell Texas’ season-ticket package. Del Conte has voiced support for a nine-game league schedule in the SEC, because Texas had grown accustomed to playing nine conference games in the Big 12, ensuring Texas always has four conference home games in a season. Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte is looking for a fourth non-conference opponent to fill out the Longhorns’ 2024 schedule after the SEC opted for a one-year, eight-game league schedule. Texas already has non-conference games in 2024 at home against Colorado State and UTSA with a road game at Michigan. "During this time of change, our fans will continue to enjoy traditional rivalries and begin to see new matchups presented by the addition of two historically successful football programs to the SEC," league commissioner Greg Sankey said on June 1. The SEC, which announced during spring meetings earlier this month a one-year plan to go with an eight-game conference schedule without divisions in 2024, is set to announce its 2024 league football schedules during an SEC Network broadcast at 6 p.m. In Texas' first season in the SEC in 2024, the Longhorns will face historic rivals Texas A&M and Arkansas on the road in addition to UT's annual Red River Showdown with Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl and will play a home game against current, two-time defending national champion Georgia, sources close to the situation told Horns247 Tuesday night. ![]()
