Winless in the Big 12 last season. 18 straight conference losses. Tenth-ranked Longhorns in town, riding a 10-game winning streak as visitors against the Aggies.
What does all that add up to? A good old fashioned spanking, of course. The surprise is that it was the Aggies spanking the Horns.
Before a school-record crowd of 12,811, Law helped A&M end the Longhorns’ 10-game winning streak in College Station and improve its record at Reed Arena to 12-0 this season.
The Aggies also knocked off their first Top 10 foe, and fourth overall, since beating Texas in 1982.
….
Despite getting off to such an impressive start, A&M had generated little attention mostly because of a nonconference schedule that included games against Prairie View A&M, Texas-Permian Basin and Trinity, a Division III school.
Let there be no more doubt – A&M is for real.
Coming off a tough 65-60 loss at No. 2 Kansas last week, A&M surprisingly seized control of this game early and never let the Longhorns back into it.
The Aggies’ lead reached 21 points early in the second half, but Texas (12-3, 1-1) fought back behind a full court press and scoring spurts by Tucker and Aldridge.
It wasn’t enough.
Rank us, dammit!

Or not, thanks to the collapse in Lubbock last night.
Still too early to announce there’s a new sheriff in town.
