After what probably seemed like the longest thirteen years of an Aggie or Longhorn fan’s life, the Lone Star Showdown is back.

And the stakes couldn’t be higher in the return of this legendary rivalry.

After Georgia’s win against UMass and Texas A&M’s loss at Auburn last week, the Bulldogs were locked in the SEC Championship.

Their opponents? Whoever comes out on top between the two Texas teams on Saturday night at Kyle Field.

As if there wasn’t enough emotion in this game for both sides, analyst Paul Finebaum believes it will live up to its hype, he says on Get up On Friday morning, it was announced that this game was the biggest game in the history of the Texas A&M football program.

“They (Texas) need to be alert because this is not an exaggeration. This is the biggest game in Texas A&M history,” Finebaum said. “They have been waiting for this since the moment it was announced in December.”

Finebaum added that he liked where A&M’s thoughts were after the four-overtime loss to the Auburn Tigers.

Despite the advantages Texas A&M may have, Finebaum expects the Longhorns to challenge the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC championship in their first season in the conference.

“As big as it is, Texas is a better team,” Finebaum continued. “I believe they will win and move to Atlanta next week.”

Even if that’s the case, the Aggies are still well clear for a bowl game, but after what the 12th Man has seen in Mike Elko’s first season, they would love nothing more than to put their name in the running for a national championship. .

And beating their biggest rivals to do that would make things that much more fun for Texas A&M.
