The article discusses the significance of the Texas and Texas A&M baseball rivalry as they face each other for the first time as SEC teams. Jim Schlossnagle, recently part of a championship run with Texas A&M, leads the narrative following his contentious coaching switch to Texas. As both teams seek to build momentum in the SEC, Schlossnagle's emotional connection to A&M and his abrupt decision create a complex backdrop for this highly anticipated matchup. The dynamics of leadership changes amid rivalry intensify the stakes.
"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you. But I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M."
"I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again. And that hasn't changed in my mind."
"The timing at Texas raised eyebrows with Aggies fans, given Schlossnagle's past with Del Conte at TCU."
"Del Conte regaled reporters with his tale of meeting the coach in a cemetery in Snook, Texas, after the championship run."
