Austin Billboard Throws Down

The rivalry might be over on the field, but off it, Texas and Texas A&M still hate each other. And now that Texas A&M is the only non-Big 12 major program in the state, it's has decided to start marking its territory with SEC.

 And apparently, that territory includes Austin, home of the University of Texas.

 

The billboard is located on the north side of Austin off I-35 just south of Tinseltown, which is actually Pflugerville, where they filmed the television drama Friday Night Lights.

This isn't the first off-field taunting we've seen between these two programs. Texas' Longhorn Network did a farewell piece for the Aggies that claimed they were moving to the "ACC." An honest mistake, I'm sure.
