Great exciting football game. We have an Aggie family for friends. They went nuts.
WOW! Quite an upset. I watched Alabama destroy Michigan in Michigan’s opener and I thought they looked like a pro team. But what do I know? I was looking at some of the schedules and thought Florida State would run the table (easy schedule) and possibly play ‘Bama in the title game provided some of the higher ranked teams took a loss.
Sabah said Bama was tired after the LSU game. Tigers almost got em but thanks for finishing them off!
Of course, likely will cost the SEC a shot at seven straight titles.
That Swope guy was a beast.
Great game!
I’m really beginning to become a fan of A&M.......and I am pushing for my kids to attend A&M for college, what a fun team to watch. I think they definitely made the right move going to the SEC.
Howdy SEC
Here’s hoping he has a growth spurt so he will be NFL sized.
Whoop!
My daughter is a senior at A&M. I have enjoyed watching the games this year. Lots of hollering takes place at each game, because you never know what Johnny Manziel is going to do.
Manziel has been amazing since Game 1. When I realized at the first game against FSU that our starting QB was a freshman, I wondered how many games we would lose or if we would win any since we were new to the SEC. He has certainly surprised me. His improved maturity on top of his raw talent is very noticeable with each passing week.
I don’t mean to take anything away from the receivers Swope and Evans (freshman - played basketball in high school made the switch to football in college) or the Defense lead by Moore, Mathews, Joekiel (sp?) and company.
Coach Sumlin and his coaching staff are also new to A&M. They have breathed life into a much loved football program. They deserve a lot of credit.
Great Game - He sure is talented
Great job by Texas A&M!
As a Bama gal, I will always cheer for Bama first, but due to my love for Coach Stallings, I tend to cheer for A&M as well. Manziel did a great job. Bama was out coached, and I look forward to many more great games in the SEC due to the addition of A&M. Great competition is great for the entire league. RTR

I enjoyed this, as an Oklahoma fan, Alabama gets to see just how fun it is to think you’re going to have a perfect season and then see an A&M or Texas Tech pee in your punch bowl. LOL!
