  • The State Farm Lone Star Showdown was the official moniker (trademarked in 1996) for all varsity men's and women's athletics competitions between the University of Texas and Texas A&M University. The name comes from Lone Star State, which is the nickname of the state of Texas. Being two of the oldest public universities in the State of Texas, the two schools are archrivals in major sports (primarily football). The current showdown was created on a two-year trial basis to bring more attention to the rivalry in non-major sports. Both universities boast large living alumni bases (over 665,000) and a significant following from supporters throughout the state and nation. The Lone Star Showdown trophy was awarded to the winning school. The final rivalry occurred during the 2011-2012 academic year, coming to an end following Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference.
