No. 1 Texas Defeats Texas A&M 2-1 in Thrilling Series Opener: Live Game Log

While the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (34-5, 16-2) are back in action for another weekend conference series, this one is far from just another three-game set. No, this one is special, folks, as the Texas A&M Aggies (24-16, 8-10) are coming to town.

This series was always going to be an intense one when the announcement was made that the Longhorns would be joining the SEC. Then they stoked the fire even further, signing coach Jim Schlossnagle away from their bitter rivals following the end of the 2024 season.

Both teams enter the weekend wanting not only to beat their hated rivals, but knowing doing so is a big résumé boost. For the Longhorns, this would be their seventh conference series of the season and would further strengthen their application to be a national seed come June.

On the other hand, if the Aggies can secure another massive upset win in a conference series they will find themselves firmly in the picture to make the postseason. Not just that, though, but if they stayed as hot as they have been it could sneak them back into the hosting a regional range.
