[3][4] The majority of the pre-2012 games were non-conference; there was a five-game stretch from 1906 to 1914 when they were opponents in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA).

They played annually from 1960 to 1975, with all games in Baton Rouge to allow A&M to earn a larger gate than it would have realized by hosting the Tigers in College Station.

The series resumed in 2012, and for the first time since the SIAA days they would be conference opponents, when A&M joined the SEC and was placed in the West Division with LSU.

LSU's defense caused him to have his worst performance of the year, which included 0 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

Prior to the 2014 season, the Southeastern Conference rearranged LSU's schedule, moving its traditional year-end game vs. Arkansas to earlier in November, and placing Texas A&M at the end of the Tigers' slate.

The Aggies' fellow SEC newcomer, Missouri, is now Arkansas' opponent for the regular season finale.

Following the Tigers' 19–7 victory at home, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva announced Miles would be retained.

Heading into the 2016 meeting on Thanksgiving at College Station, it was reported Alleva would name then-University of Houston coach Tom Herman as Miles' permanent successor.

Alleva changed course after LSU won 54–39, giving Orgeron the job full-time less than 48 hours later.

The rivalry was ratcheted up a notch in 2018 when the Aggies hired former LSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher as head coach, luring him from Florida State with a 10-year, $75 million contract.

[12] LSU exacted revenge in the 2019 meeting at Baton Rouge, beating the Aggies 50–7 to wrap up an undefeated regular season.

Then, a year later, in 2022, the Aggies returned the favor, later upsetting LSU, who entered the game as the number 5 team in the nation, by a score of 38–23.

The comeback was also led by a quarterback change in the 3rd quarter, with the Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko benching starter Conner Weigman in favor of Marcel Reed.
