Everyone is excited about the renewal of the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry, which will likely capture more headlines and airtime on Thanksgiving weekend than all the other rivalry contests combined. Yes, that includes Ohio State-Michigan.
Yet some Texas A&M players aren't waiting until November to start talking smack against the Longhorns. Team captain Trey Zuhn III, an offensive lineman, issued a very straightfoward, confident prediction during his appearance at SEC Media Days.
Texas A&M OL Trey Zuhn on his message for Texas at Texas A&M on Nov. 30 in rivals' first meeting since 2011:

'Bring everything you've got, you're not gonna stand a chance.'
This is ... not smart. Providing bulletin board material months before anyone knows what the state of play will be, or whether Zuhn will even be healthy and competing, seems like a rash way to get ahead of a rivalry.
That wasn't the only comment Zuhn made about the Aggies' rivalry with the Longhorns, as you can hear in his complete comments to the entire media scrum.
Give this to Zuhn: He's clearly committed to his Texas hatred:
"I actually have a longhorn hanging in my room ... it just happens to be upside down."
Bring on November.
