Hundreds of Longhorns put their Hex on the Aggies Monday night.

Texas plays Texas A & M on Thursday and fans hope their taunting worked, just like back in 1941, when it became a tradition.

KEYE TV talked to several fortune tellers who say witchcraft is not the way to beat the Aggies but don't dare tell it to the hundreds that were out here before the big clash on campus.

UT students were stoked and creating a commotion on campus, chanting things like, "Texas Fight" and "Where my Horns at," the smell of success causing them to cheer and dance and pray for a victory over the arch rival Aggies from A & M.

A party Monday night, featuring the star studded Texas Longhorns was a smash. Winners of all eleven games this season, the Longhorns could end up playing for the national championship but first they have to play the Aggies.

To make sure the Horns win in College Station Texas fans lit hundreds of red candles. A fortune teller long ago said doing this would bring the Longhorns victory.
That was in 1941.

Longhorn Fan Whitney Jefferson says, “The team believes in the Hex Rally.”

The Aggies will have their version of the hex rally Tuesday. Texas A & M will light the annual bonfire which will be the tenth anniversary of that deadly collapse in 1999.
No one mentioned that tonight here on campus.

The longhorns may not need the hex rally. Experts say they're a 22 point favorite to beat the Aggies.
