Notre dame vs texas a&m baseball

Our friend from Vols Wire, Dan Harralson, calls them “Helmet Games” when all you have to do is look at the two helmets and know something special is coming based on history.

That’s certainly the case when Notre Dame and Texas get together as the two programs are as storied as nearly any in all of college football.

They’ve played 12 times all-time, here are the results of those games:
