Sarkisian Slams Rivalry Video | Texas Longhorns Football News

Texas Longhorns are riding high in their heated rivalry with Texas A&M, boasting a 2-0 record since the SEC realignment, with both wins stopping A&M from reaching the SEC Championship. Last season’s 27-17 victory over ranked A&M ended their perfect season—and sparked controversy when a jumbotron video mocked coach Mike Elko for calling his team “the flagship program.” While fans saw it as rivalry banter, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian admitted he still feels hurt by the clip, calling it a line crossed. He compared it to a 2024 incident where players tried to plant a flag on A&M’s field, which he immediately halted. Sarkisian respects the rivalry’s intensity but insists emotions must be managed. The next clash promises more fireworks between these historic programs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
