For a team that most thought would wind up with a 6-6 record at best...(I remember some posts about the Aggies getting beat up in the SEC by you 'Horns fans)...yet ended up with a Heisman Trophy winner, 11-2 on the season, and slapped the Big XII-2 "co-champs" around in the cotton bowl, I think the should get some justified recognition on the news.
How do you think the news would have been if OU had beaten A&M? Think you would have heard a little or a lot about beating the former Big XII Aggies??? You go with the story.  |
First off congrats to your team and fan base on the win and season.
( Yes I give it when its deserved )
I didnt know about the New trophy. Normally they dont show that presentation on Tv. Or the team singing there fight song or post game comments live.
No if OU won they would have had the normal closing moments then gone on to the News and there would have been a short 3 minute stint during the News and a 5 minute clip of highlights and comments during Sports. Same thing if Texas had won it.
It was the exact exposure UT got when they won the NC
As for the 6 and 6 comment. You cant tell me you expected this ? No one knew the QB was going to be as he was and your team would have played like they did. I'm more shocked how good the defense looked.
When the Ag's returned to College Station there is a News Clipping of them pulling in on a Charter bus with the frontend blinking SEC COUNTRY
TEBOW , NEWTON , JM when a QB is playing high the SEC jumps on that story and rides it out the door with sparklers and fireworks lol
Fact is you won the cotton bowl. In many peoples eyes its just another BOWL.
NOW with LSU losing 70% of there starting roster ( as of Yesterday ) you are set up for a chance at going and winning a National championship. Oh wait yall have Bama on your schedule as well time will only tell. Having a dam near injury free season is something you will have to have again. This year yall got by that which doesnt come often.
( wish we could say that......we could back in 05 and 04 lol ) accept that and enjoy those times.
Only thing I can laugh at is how in the hell are yall getting to play at home every week? Next years schedule looks like you never leave home lol
Enjoy this while it last my friend. Just like with VY the NFL comes a calling and reality sets in.
Congrats and enjoy your Cotton Bowl victory and Good season.
Manziel , your line and your defense DESERVES this Victory.
