Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian previews the ‘game that divides households’ vs. Texas AM

The Lone Star Showdown returns to the gridiron days after Thanksgiving this year as Texas A&M hosts Texas .

Given the highly anticipated matchup, Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian was asked about it on Wednesday at SEC media days in Dallas.

“It’s a great game. It’s a game that divides households,” Sarkisian proclaimed. “Our players are probably way more excited for this game than most fans would think.

“There is a great deal of excitement. I know coach Elko has done a great job in a short time there. It’s going to be a great environment on Thanksgiving weekend, and we’re looking forward to it.”

The rivalry between fans in Aggieland and Austin only intensified after baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle left College Station last month to assume the same role at Texas. But then Michael Earley left Schlossnagle’s Longhorns staff to become the new Aggies leader.

Texas A&M and Texas face off on Nov. 30 at Kyle Field.
