Pardon my ignorance, but is there some sort of rivalry between these two schools?

Cool! As long as they’re not in the shape of the a&m logo, they should send them a thank you card.

This is funny. The bluebonnet is the state flower and I have always heard that it is illegal to pick them.
Another part of the story is that whoever planted them, did so all over the campus.

It was a while back, but a Congressman from Texas was on the long journey home from Washington. He stopped to visit his congressional colleague from Tennessee. The Tennessean gave him a tour of Knoxville. They went down near the river to see the creation. The Tennessean proudly exclaimed “ This is our great University, The University of Tennessee”. He went on to extol the great professors and opportunities for the bright students flocking to the campus. He called the chancellor who graciously greeted the congressman from Texas with a Tennessee orange T shirt emblazoned UT.
While traveling, the Texan thought on his visit and concluded that we need a university like that in Texas.

Alas, disaster struck. While philandering in a gambling hall under the hill in Natchez, the Congressman from the great but fledgling State of Texas was murdered. He went immediately to hell. The fires burned heatedly and though not consumed, his hair, eyebows and clothing were scorched. On presentation to the devil, the evil one saw the UT shirt and decided this must be a Holy Man and cast the Texan out. He found himself dazed but alive once more on the road back to Texas.

As soon as he got home, he called a committee to meet and they created a University, The University of Texas. To his day many Texans proudly wear T shirts of Burnt Orange bearing the logo UT.

Once again, like the Alamo and San Jacinto, Texans became indebted to Tennessee for greatness.

Just to remind Texans, all Texans of their educational Heritage

I planted a bunch of Texas Bluebonnets in my flower beds this spring. The seed packet was several years old, and only a few germinated, but the ones that have look like they’re happy little sprouts.

The seeds would have had to be planted as recently as last fall and as far back as a couple of years ago.

How did the editor let this boner get by?

If it's a prank, well played, Aggies, well played.

This UT alumnus respects A&M.

However, when you mess with the color of bluebonnets, you're not messing with UT, you're messing with Texas.
