In this journalistic tour de force, Dallas Morning News contributor W.K. Stratton follows the fates of the Texas Longhorns and the Texas A&M Aggies, two collegiate football programs steeped in tradition, as they prepare for their annual clash in 2001. One of the most storied rivalries in sports, Texas vs. Texas A&M represents a culture war of sorts within the Lone Star State, igniting the passions and prejudices of the players, coaches and fans alike.

A UT student from 1982 thru 88, this book was a great walk down memory lane as well as giving me a few “well I didn’t know that”. I have no idea how this book will go over with those who have no connect to The University or that Nice Prep School at College Station but for those of you that do — can’t recommend this it more.

It was alright. The author is neither and Aggie nor a Longhorn but has friends who are and has attending some things. This skims the surface of the rivalry from a very surface level and mostly tells the story of him attending games in 2001. If you’re bored and wanting to hear about his perspective and have a spare credit, it’s not terrible.

Mediocre story of one writers perspective
