With Texas A&M's annual rivalry game against Texas set to be renewed for the first time in over a decade, the Aggie Corps of Cadets have decided to renew a tradition of their own, conducting a march-in through campus for the first time during Thanksgiving week in multiple years.

“It is only fitting that the Corps of Cadets welcomes t.u. back to Aggieland with one of the best gameday traditions out there,” said Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Patrick Michaelis, commandant of cadets. 

Full details are not available as of publish time, but will be posted as game times are announced. Click here for more information about Corps events.

“The Corps is special to a lot of Aggies. This rivalry is one of the most well-known in college sports. There isn’t a better way for the Corps to show its support and stand as the 12th Man than showing up in full force”, Michaelis said.

A time has also not been set for the Nov. 30, 2024 game between Texas A&M and Texas, but anticipation for the game has continued to rise alongside ticket prices, which have continued to cost multiple hundreds of dollars to over a thousand just to be there for the renewal of the Lone Star Showdown.
