[edit] Summary
The Battle of the Brazos is the official collegiate sports rivalry between the Baylor Bears and Texas A&M Aggies. The rivalry is named for the Brazos River that flows by the two schools, which are only 90 miles apart. The Battle of the Brazos debuted in 1899, the year the first football game was played.
[edit] History
The football rivalry between the Bears and the Aggies had been dormant since 1985, the last time the Bears won a football game against the Aggies before 2004. In 2004, however, the rivalry revived when an underdog Bear team, which was the worst team in the Big 12 at the time, defeated the No. 16 ranked Aggies 35-34 in overtime at Floyd Casey Stadium. The rivalry again became bitter in 2005 when the Aggies had to complete two fourth down conversions in order to win a home game 16-13 in overtime.
The largest football game winning streak made by the Bears is 4, whereas the Aggies' largest is 13. Texas A&M currently leads the football series 64-30-9.
