Did you know?

-- The Longhorns and the Aggies are back on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 1993.

-- The 1994 game was moved because of A&M having TV restrictions and the 1995 season was one of the random years when Thanksgiving was early so the game was played the week after (as it also was in 1990, 1989, 1984, 1979, 1978 and others).

-- When the Big-12 began in 1996, the game was moved to the day after Thanksgiving.
