This particular rivalry dates back to the first meeting between the two in 1952, where the Aggies defeated the Rams 44-0. Although a less intense and bitter rivalry than that shared with North Carolina A&T – North Carolina Central rivalry, Fans of both Universities tend to place great emphasis on this rivalry.
