Battle of the Big Cats

Texas A&M University–San Antonio and Texas A&M University–Victoria have kicked off a spirited new rivalry within the Texas A&M University System, officially branded the Battle of the Big Cats. The competition, which started in October, brings Jaguars vs. Jaguars to the field, the golf course, and beyond. The two universities meet across multiple sports throughout the year, including golf, soccer and softball, in an effort to ultimately win the Jaguar Cup. 

“We are thrilled to launch the Battle of the Big Cats and to build a spirited rivalry with our fellow Jaguars from A&M-Victoria,” said Dr. Darnell Smith, athletics director at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. “This series will showcase the talent and dedication of our student-athletes, while creating new traditions that energize our campus community, alumni, and fans. Rivalries are at the heart of college athletics, and we are excited to see this one grow for years to come.”
