AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Since 1895, the Texas Longhorns have played 75 games on Thanksgiving. Of those, 64 were against Texas A&M in a game that turned into a holiday tradition.

Tradition was blown to bits last year when the Aggies left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference and the Longhorns said ``so long'' to their oldest rivals.

No. 18 Texas (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) wanted to keep playing on Thanksgiving and the Big 12 this year served up TCU (6-4, 3-4), an old rival that has become a new one again.

Texas has won four in a row and still has a chance to win the Big 12 and play in a BCS bowl if it wins its last two games.
