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]
Behind the Laughter[edit]
A&M refers to Agricultural and Mechanical Universities created by the Morrill Land-Grant Acts.
