With 35 days remaining until Texas A&M kicks off its 2026 campaign against Missouri State in Bryan-College Station, the Aggies have set the date for the program's annual Maroon Out game.
The Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown at Kyle Field will feature a sea of maroon on Friday, Nov. 27, as Mike Elko's squad takes on Texas in the 121st meeting between the two schools on the gridiron. Texas A&M's Maroon Out tradition began in 1998 when tens of thousands of Aggies attending a contest against Nebraska were encouraged to wear maroon, painting the stadium in the colors of the university.
Following a 28-21 upset win over No. 2 Nebraska, the Cornhuskers' fans acknowledged the impact of the Maroon Out atmosphere.
"A game that was dubbed a 'maroon-out' for Texas A&M fans proved to be lights out for Nebraska. The fans dressed themselves in maroon T-shirts in an attempt to wash out the red and white that opponents have gotten used to. It worked," The Daily Nebraskan said.
After losing to the Longhorns in back-to-back seasons since the rivalry game was renewed, the Aggies will aim to get back in the win column in front of a packed house filled with fans donning maroon.
