The Battle of the Brazos is an American college football rivalry game between the Baylor Bears and Texas A&M Aggies.

In the early days of the rivalry (1905 and earlier), Baylor and Texas A&M played each other multiple times in a single year, possibly due to a dearth of regional opponents.

The motion caused Louise Normand to fall off the truck, injuring her and inciting a large riot.

Students began using metal folding chairs and planks of wood that had been used as yard markers for weapons.

Texas A&M student Lt. Charles Sessums was hit in the head during the melee and, although he initially appeared to recover, he died following the game.

It was once great sport before a big football matchup for Aggie students to drive to Waco with nefarious intentions of capturing Baylor's bear mascot.

Baylor students likewise pranked the Aggies, often sneaking onto the Texas A&M campus to spray green paint on the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross.

Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was expelled from Baylor after he was in part found painting one of A&M's buildings green.

Baylor led the game 17–0 in the 1st half and was positioned to score again when the Texas A&M defense was able to stop the Bears with a goal line stand.

The victory allowed them to claim the SWC Championship and advance to the Cotton Bowl for a second straight year.

In the 1980 contest Baylor won by the score of 46–7, going on that year to win the SWC Championship by a record 3 games and garnering a berth in the Cotton Bowl, where they were beaten by Alabama.

[11] The thrilling 1986 A&M win began a period of domination in the series, in which Baylor did not beat A&M for 18 seasons (17 losses and a tie in 1990).

One of the more memorable games occurred on January 23, 2008, when Baylor defeated A&M 116–100 in a five overtime marathon in College Station.
