After the Texas Longhorns’ emphatic victory over the Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field, tight end Gunnar Helm made headlines for reasons beyond his on-field performance. Helm reportedly directed a series of remarks and gestures toward Aggie fans, igniting a wave of reactions on social media.
Aggies fans have expressed outrage, calling Helm’s actions disrespectful and unsportsmanlike, especially at their home stadium.
Many Longhorns supporters, however, have defended Helm, calling his actions a playful response to years of rivalry banter.
This incident adds another layer to the heated rivalry between the Longhorns and Aggies, which was reignited with the Longhorns’ return to the SEC.
While no official word has come from the Texas athletic department, some speculate Helm could face internal consequences for his actions.
As the fallout continues, this incident underscores the intensity of one of college football’s most storied rivalries. Whether viewed as playful rivalry antics or crossing a line, Helm’s actions have certainly stirred the pot between these two programs.
