Springfield A&M is one of Springfield's universities, and the longtime rival of Springfield University.

History[edit]

A&M's mascot is a pig named "Sir Oinks-A-Lot" who has several powerful friends, including Richard Nixon,[1] on whom he conferred an honorary degree. The college is often referred to as a "cow college," as the institution was literally founded by a cow.[2]

Springfield A&M and Springfield University meet in an annual football game.[3] The schools' rivalry also comes out in other ways, such as when four Springfield University students (Homer Simpson and his nerd friends Benjamin, Doug and Gary) kidnapped Sir Oinks-A-Lot as a prank.[1]

Alumni[edit]
