So those voters didn’t vote to rekindle the rivalry?
Thanks for setting the record straight.
I’d read otherwise.

Ninety-seven percent of students vote in support A&M rivalry game
quote:

UT students voted overwhelmingly in favor of bringing back the UT and Texas A&M University rivalry game in an online campus-wide referendum Wednesday.

Out of almost 8,000 participants, 96.7 percent of students voted in support of reinstating the game to UT’s non-conference football schedule,” vice president Micky Wolf said.

What's that, about a 17 percent student turnout?

What else was on the ballot? Making a cucumber the official school mascot?

Those votes are a joke, dude.

Keep hope alive, brocephus.

Do I have to explain this again.

The whole campaign was funded by an outside agency. Most likely someone connected with Jerry Jones.
This is no longer an issue between Texas and Texas A&M it is political with people trying to get their hands on the game

Who do you think gave Greg Abbott money to force him to say that one of his main goals is to get the game started again.
