TCU–Texas A&M football rivalry
Teams

The TCU–Texas A&M football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the TCU Horned Frogs and Texas A&M Aggies. After 72 consecutive meetings as members of the Southwest Conference (SWC) from 1924 to 1995, the series has yet to be scheduled in the regular season as a non-conference game since the SWC disbanded in 1996. In the most recent game between the two programs, the Aggies defeated the Horned Frogs 28–9 at the 2001 Galleryfurniture.com Bowl in Houston, Texas, as both teams were contractually obligated through their respective athletic conferences.

History

Texas Christian and Texas A&M played 19 times before they were both in the Southwest Conference that was made up of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas universities. Until the early 1990s the conference started to fall apart when the University of Arkansas announced that they will move to the Southeastern Conference. In 1994, Texas A&M announced with other Texas schools, that they will join the Big Eight Conference to form the Big 12 Conference. TCU did not receive an invitation to join with Texas A&M, and so TCU moved to the Western Athletic Conference in 1996, Conference USA in 2001, and then Mountain West Conference in 2005. TCU in 2012 finally got the chance to move to the Big 12 Conference with its other Texas rivalries except for one, Texas A&M. Texas A&M moved to the Southeastern Conference in 2012. The future of the rivalry is uncertain.

Over the life of the series, the Aggies have shutout the Horned Frogs 21 times, and been shutout 9 times (including scoreless ties in 1909 and 1927). The Aggies hold the largest margin of victory with a 74–10 win in College Station on November 22, 1986 (the Aggies also hold the next ten-largest margins of victory, with each ranging from 34 to 56 points). The Aggies' current winning streak of 24 games from 1973 to 1995 and including the 2001 Galleryfurniture.com Bowl is the longest in the series.

Game results

TCU victories are colored ██ purple. Texas A&M victories are colored ██ maroon. Ties are white.
