Historic College Football Rivalry Gets Major Update
All eyes will be on the Texas Longhorns in 2025 as they attempt to reach their third consecutive College Football Playoff.
Texas will enter the season as one of the highest ranked teams in the country. While several starters from last year departed for the NFL, the Longhorns are confident in the many new faces poised to break out in 2025.

Quarterback Arch Manning is preparing for his first season as the full-time starter and the hype surrounding him is at an all-time high. Steve Sarkisian's staff also landed a few immediate impact starters via the transfer portal, including former Cal tight end Jack Endris.
While all eyes will be on the Longhorns to see if they can live up to the hype, many Texas players have one primary game in mind. Texas A&M will be traveling to Austin in November to face Texas.
On Thursday, schedule details were released for this historic Lone Star Showdown. The Longhorns will host the Aggies on Friday, Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT. This is a slight change from last season where the two teams played on Saturday.
However, many fans are ecstatic that the game will be on Friday as it was typically always played on the day after Thanksgiving in the past. This matchup will also mark the first time that the Aggies will travel to Austin for a college football game since 2010. It has the potential to break an attendance record.

The Longhorns defeated the Aggies at Kyle Field last season, 17-7. Texas will likely enter the matchup as the favorite, but we're all aware that anything can happen in rivalry games. For now, fans can rejoice in the game taking place on Friday evening.

Gasperini takes over from Ranieri at Roma after successful run at Atalanta
Associated Press ROME (AP) — Gian Piero Gasperini was named Roma's new coach on Friday, taking over for the retiring Claudio Ranieri following his own successful run at Atalanta. 'I need a significant challenge,' Gasperini said in an interview released by Roma. He signed a three-year deal for the club owned by Texas-based businessman Dan Friedkin. In nine seasons at Atalanta, Gasperini guided the Bergamo club to a Europa League triumph in 2024, six top-four finishes in Serie A, and a Champions League quarterfinal. The 73-year-old Ranieri was hired in November when Roma was struggling in 12th place, and his contract specified he would take on an advisor role after the season. Rainieri guided Roma to a fifth-place finish as the Giallorossi lost just once during the second half of the season, and was involved in selecting the 67-year-old Gasperini, who is known for his free-flowing attacking tactics. Gasperini becomes Roma's fourth coach in the 1 ½ years since Jose Mourinho was fired, following Daniele De Rossi, Ivan Juric and Ranieri. ___ AP soccer: in this topic
