Texas, Texas A&M announce advertising sponsorship for Lone Star Showdown

The Texas and Texas A&M rivalry on the football field returns on Nov. 30 as the long-time rivals are scheduled to play for the first time in over a decade. The two programs held a joint press conference in Houston on Thursday morning as athletic directors Chris Del Conte and Trev Alberts announced a sponsorship with Cotton Holdings for the Lone Star Showdown. 

"The most important thing we could do was restore this rivalry," Del Conte said. "Rivalries are what separates college football from other sports. Being back (playing) is great for the state and both institutions."
