The Biggest Rivalry in the State is Back!

To mark the occasion, Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Austin are hosting a friendly giving challenge leading up to the big game.

Pick the team you want to support, and make a gift to help the school of your choice before Saturday, November 30 when the Aggies and the Longhorns face-off on the gridiron.

The university with the most gifts by 11:59 pm Central on Friday, November 29 wins the challenge, and, regardless of what happens on the field, gets bragging rights for a full year!

No matter which side you support, the real winners are the students. Gifts made as part of this challenge will go directly to help support the experience for current and former students at the respective schools.
