6:30 p.m. Took snaps on second line with PL Lindley. He'll play plenty, I assume. So will McFarland. RT @ben_woods15: Washington???

6:59 p.m. Getting close to kickoff here at Jerry World: Last-minute predictions for #Sooners vs. Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl?
7:00 p.m. Just a small-town, wide-eyed rube checking in, but Cowboys Stadium is a sweet venue for football. Especially when packed like 2nite.
7:00 p.m. #Aggies take the field wearing all white unis: helmets, tops, pants.
7:01 p.m. Julien Obioha will not play because of injury, according to A&M. #mysa

7:01 p.m. RT @john_shinn: If it gets hot in here, the Aggies have a huge towel edge.
7:02 p.m. We'll be writing #Sooners-Texas A&M headlines all night tonight. When it's all over, the best one goes in @TheOklahoman. Make it yours
7:03 p.m. The view from the booth. pic.twitter.com/RDsdkp8F
7:03 p.m. #Sooners' Fox Sports pregame video missed a great opportunity to take the "There's Only One" brand national. A&M wins the pregame video
7:03 p.m. #TAMU officially rules out freshman DE Julien Obiha because of an injury. Did not specify injury. But he did not suit up
7:03 p.m. RT @skhanjr: A blow to the #Aggies. Per @AggieFootball, true freshman DE Julien Obioha is not dressed and will miss the game with an injury.
7:03 p.m. RT @ATTCottonBowl: The @gatlinbrothers nail the National Anthem! pic.twitter.com/5CDiB9Vm
7:04 p.m. #TAMU 12th Man tonight is DB C.J. Jones

7:05 p.m. Talked with John McVaney about Stacy crying this game over David King. He said the game may get rained out (even though it's indoors).
7:06 p.m. A&M wins the toss and will receive. Kickoff moments away. #mysa
7:06 p.m. So how many Oklahoma subscribers did AT&T just lose with that coin flip?
7:07 p.m. #Aggies win toss and will receive kickoff in #CottonBowl
7:07 p.m. RT @TimGriffinBig12: People forget that Landry Jones is 3-0 in bowl games. He can get a little history by winning tonight.
7:07 p.m. RT @TimGriffinBig12: People forget that Landry Jones is 3-0 in bowl games. He can get a little history by winning tonight.
7:08 p.m. Cotton Bowl is about to get underway. #Sooners kicking off to Texas A&M. We'll get our first look at Johnny Football right away
7:08 p.m. Aggies win toss, will receive. Huge crowd at cotton. Judging by waving towels, it's a bigger a&m crowd
7:09 p.m. Really curious how OC Kliff Kingsbury's departure affects Aggies' offense... we're about to find out here at Cotton Bowl.
7:10 p.m. RT @RealSkipBayless: Hate to do it but going w/ Johnny Football over my Sooners. D gives up too many big plays and he'll make a bunch.
7:11 p.m. Geneo Grissom checks in at DE #Sooners
7:11 p.m. #Sooners defense, meet the Heisman winner.
7:11 p.m. Bob Stoops said sometimes the worst thing you can do is cover everyone against Manziel. Perfect example of it right there #Sooners
7:12 p.m. Gone in seven seconds. Like Bob Stoops said, sometimes the worst thing you can do is cover everybody #Sooners
7:13 p.m. Truth: That fast football and my constant basketball score keeping just made for a rough start to my football play-by-play. YIKES!
7:13 p.m. Dickie V shouting, "Hey Bobby Stoops. You need a T.O.!" Felt like a college basketball strategy, which is fitting. #Sooners
7:13 p.m. RT @john_shinn: Mike Stoops is lighting into Tony Jefferson then heads over to the defensive line. He's not happy.
7:14 p.m. Bob Stoops calls a timeout. Texas A&M averaging 10.2 yards per play in the first five plays. #Sooners
7:15 p.m. That's like the 4th or 5th defensive timeout Mike Stoops has called on opening drive this year. I'm thinking he didn't prepare. #Sooners
7:16 p.m. Just wondering, was anyone expecting a defensive struggle here? Why the surprise. The guy won the Heisman and beat Bama doing this. #Sooners
7:17 p.m. Johnny Manziel improvises, breaks away for a 24-yard touchdown run. Wow. #Sooners
7:17 p.m. Bob Stoops: "Sometimes the worst thing you can do is cover everyone." #Sooners
7:17 p.m. 23-yard TD run by Manziel, high steps along left sideline. Play under review but looks like TD. #mysa
7:18 p.m. #JohnnyFootball finds the end zone on a 23yd scramble but play is under review. Looks like it will stand up as a TD on replay
7:18 p.m. If that stands as a touchdown for A&M, Manziel outran Frank Shannon, and Javon Harris only got a hand on him. Grissom let up on his speed.
7:18 p.m. That said, it looked like at least two or three #Sooners defenders quit on the play. Grissom just jogged down the field.
7:18 p.m. Special TD caps special drive for Manziel. But if you're Javon Harris, how do you not at least nudge him out of bounds at the 10?
7:19 p.m. Officials are reviewing the TD, but JerryWorld's giant screen provides clear proof he didn't step out. Great play and awareness by Manziel.
7:19 p.m. Dang, this kid is good. I knew it coming in and he just proved it. Nice 23-yard run by Johnny Football to put Aggies up 6-0.
7:19 p.m. What a TD run by Manziel. Him coming at Javon Harris is like a hummingbird trying to get past a pear tree. #Sooners #Aggies
7:19 p.m. Aggies lead 7-0 after play upheld. 12:21 in 1st quarter. #mysa
7:19 p.m. Johnny Football is still very much Johnny Football. He has innate feel for the game, even exactly how to tip-toe up sideline. Aggies up 7-0
7:19 p.m. There's a lot of football left to be played but Johnny Manziel showed out on the first drive. A&M up 7-0 on #Sooners 12:21 1st
7:19 p.m. Hahah. RT @JasonKirkSBN "WHAT'S HE, ITALIAN? ITALIAN STALLION." -- Barry Switzer on Johnny Manziel
7:19 p.m. That was an absolutely fabulous run by Johnny Manziel. How he stayed in was amazing. A&M leads 7-0 over OU.
7:19 p.m. MT @chrisyates11: Future of Sports TV Broadcasts? Fox w/commercials, stays on the field w/ split screen. Excellent pic.twitter.com/8AQpl6Jw
7:20 p.m. #TAMU has scored first in every game this season and in 18 consecutive games, dating back to last season
7:20 p.m. So let's see: Manziel escaped Walker, Grissom, Jefferson, Grissom again and Shannon on that drive. Gracious.
7:20 p.m. RT @_DanielleHoover: Maybe there's a reason why he won the Heisman guys.
7:20 p.m. Bob Stoops letting someone, his brother?, have it on the sideline after that TD. #Sooners
7:20 p.m. Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 0, 1221, 1Q: Texas A&M has scored first in 18 straight games dating back to 2011
7:20 p.m. With that Aggies touchdown, Texas A&M has scored first in 18 straight games. (Dates back to last season too)
7:20 p.m. Drive: 8 plays, 75 yards, 2:39 on clock, 23-yard TD run by Manziel. Aggies lead 7-0. #mysa
7:20 p.m. The long layoff didn't hurt A&M, eh? No Kingsbury, either. Aggies score first for 18th straight game, dating back to 2011.
7:21 p.m. Manziel with 3 carries, 51 yards on that drive. Your move, Landry Jones. #Sooners
7:21 p.m. Probably not a good sign. But then, they go at it at mass. RT @CarsonC5: Oh my gosh, Brothers Stoops going at it.
7:22 p.m. Both of Manziel's big runs on scoring drive came on third down. Busted 23-yard touchdown on third and 9.
7:22 p.m. Manziel's 24-yard run on third-and-4 to start series set the tone for that touchdown drive. QB already has 52 rushing yards. #Sooners
7:22 p.m. RT @MikeSherman: Bob Stoops letting someone, his brother?, have it on the sideline after that TD. #Sooners
7:22 p.m. 24 and 23 yard runs by Manziel on that drive -- apparently no worse for wear of his Heisman tour (and then some). #mysa
7:23 p.m. RT @RJ_Young: Manziel carried the ball three times for 52 yards on the opening drive.
7:23 p.m. RT @GotBoz44: IT'S NOT THAT HARD!! KEEP CONTAINMENT..make Manzi throw the ball..MIIIIIKE! We cannot b that unathelitic @ DE..DON'T make ...
7:24 p.m. With Obioha out w/ injury, Damontre Moore's role even more important in his last college game (declared for NFL draft). #mysa
7:24 p.m. RT @RJ_Young: Landry Jones surpassed 4,000 yards passing with that completion to Justin Brown.
7:24 p.m. RT @smartfootball: Sooners lacked rush lane discipline RT @MikeSherman Bob Stoops letting someone, his brother?, have it on the sideline ...
7:24 p.m. RT @chacemurphy: Too bad Brandon Williams has to sit this one out. I bet he'd love to get a crack at OU.
7:26 p.m. RT @AggieFootball: Rushing TD was Manziel's 20th of the season, breaks longtime A&M TD record of 19 set originally by Joel Hunt in 1927
7:26 p.m. Fox announcers cranking on Stoops for not using Millard more this season. The choir is running out of space. #Sooenrs

7:28 p.m. RT @MikeSherman Fox announcers cranking on Stoops for not using Millard more this season. The choir is running out of space. #Sooenrs
7:30 p.m. #Sooners responding nicely with this drive.
7:31 p.m. #Sooners bring in the Belldozer. Second and goal at A&M 1
7:31 p.m. Belldozer making its first appearance of the Cotton Bowl. #Sooners
7:31 p.m. RT @RohdeOK: Foul trouble for Thunder post players already. Two fouls on Collison and Perkins in first quarter.
7:31 p.m. Bowl Belldozer.
7:32 p.m. Belldozer is stuffed on second down, stays on the field for third before Texas A&M takes its first timeout. #Sooners
7:32 p.m. Weird. #Sooners decline defensive offsides. Play gives you 2nd & goal from 1. Penalty gives you 1st & goal from 2. That's a bad decision.
7:32 p.m. Blake Bell was the Insight Bowl MVP a year ago. #Sooners
7:33 p.m. #Sooners on 15th play of their opening drive. Faces 3rd and goal from the A&M 1.
7:33 p.m. Texas A&M icing the Belldozer. 3rd-&-goal when it comes back from the timeout. Damien Williams took it to the 1 and Stoops switched to Bell
7:35 p.m. I don't know. Landry leading a 16-play drive versus Manziel leading a 5-play drive. Advantage A&M.
7:35 p.m. Blake Bell waits for all his reads and he had Jonathan Stewart coming after him so he threw it. INC.
7:35 p.m. Bell rolls out, throws the ball out of the back of the endzone. He's staying in for 4th-and-goal from the 1. #Sooners
7:36 p.m. Field goal #Sooners. Hunnicutt with 23-yard field goal.
7:36 p.m. Brannon Green called for a false start, which actually might've been a good thing. Bell wasn't making it into the endzone. #Sooners
7:37 p.m. RT @jasonkersey: Brannon Green called for a false start, which actually might've been a good thing. Bell wasn't making it into the endzo ...
7:37 p.m. Well, this might be second-guessed later tonight. A roll and throw to Jaydan Bird on third-and-goal?
7:37 p.m. Michael Hunnicutt field goal makes it Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 3
7:37 p.m. #OU watches Belldozer pkg fail at goal line, setting up chip-shot FG. #Aggies up 7-3 after each team's opening drive
7:37 p.m. Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 3, 638, 1Q: Oklahoma goes 16 plays before fizzling at the 1, followed by penalty. Lot of work for only 3 points.
7:37 p.m. Without Brannon Green getting a false start called in him, Blake Bell was not making it in the end zone. Hunnicutt gives the #Sooners 3.
7:38 p.m. RT @ChuckCarltonDMN: Oklahoma has to settle FG after first-and-goal. Sooners become first team to score on A&M in the first quarter ...
7:38 p.m. OU with a 23-yard FG to make it 7-3 w/ 6:38 in 1st quarter. #mysa
7:38 p.m. Don't blame Stoops for taking Williams' surge to the 1 instead of that A&M offsides. With Bell, gotta like your chances from there...usually
7:38 p.m. Belldozer does nothing on two tries and OU settles for FG to trail A&M 7-3 in Cotton. Motion penalty saves failed fourth down Bell run.
7:38 p.m. That drive was exactly what #Sooners needed until the 2nd and goal. Long, sustained drive to answer.
7:39 p.m. No guarantee a different outcome if Stoops had accepted that offsides penalty. #Sooners #A&M
7:39 p.m. Big goal-line stand by #Aggies. Questionable decision by #OU to decline penalty turning down 1/G from 2 in favor of 2/G from 1.
7:40 p.m. That whole Belldozer shtick really failed the Sooners after they chewed up the clock on a methodical drive. #mysa
7:40 p.m. That was the second-longest scoring drive of the #Sooners season. OU had a 17-play drive capped by Bell's game-tying 4Q run vs OSU.
7:41 p.m. Bad mouthpiece placement of the game: Blake Bell has his behind his ear. I assume he'll be putting it back in his mouth #Sooners
7:41 p.m. RT @OU_Football: 16-play drive was the second-longest of the season for #Sooners. OU had 17-play drive vs. OSU.
7:42 p.m. New #Sooner defense strategy: Leave a guy open so Manziel won't run it, didn't work there. #Sooners #A&M

7:44 p.m. I think Julian Wilson got away with one there. #Sooners
7:44 p.m. Julian Wilson might've gotten away with one there looking at the replay #Sooners
7:45 p.m. #Sooners do a nice job of containing Manziel on third down. Aggies forced to punt with 4:13 left in the 1st.
7:45 p.m. #Sooners force a punt and will take over at its own 6.
7:46 p.m. Tony Jefferson played I Spy on that one. Hey Boz, someone listened. ow.ly/gyCYZ via @BerryTramel #Sooners #A&M
7:46 p.m. Really amazed at the size of those A&M offensive linemen. That's some homegrown Texas beef keeping Manziel clean. #Aggies #gigem #Sooners
7:48 p.m. Third-and-one and Stoops opts no Belldozer. Instead, Landry Jones completes pass to Jalen Saunders. #Sooners
7:49 p.m. That's the throw NFL scouts love and Landry Jones has made two of them on this drive #Sooenrs #A&M
7:51 p.m. End of the first quarter: Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 3.
7:51 p.m. Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 3, end of first quarter. Sooners face second-and-8 from the Aggies 41.
7:51 p.m. Enjoyed following @RealDNeal on Twitter after he committed to the #Sooners. He's starting to show up
7:51 p.m. #Sooners down 7-3 after a qtr. But Landry Jones playing well, they're controlling clock and they got a break as Sumlin punted on 4th-and-2.
7:52 p.m. RT @TimCowlishaw: Cotton Bowl records for completions is Tech's Graham Harrell's 36 vs Ole Miss. Landry Jones had 11 in first quarter.
7:52 p.m. End of the first: OU 3, A&M 7. First half summary: L. Jones is having a good game. K. Stills is making good grabs. Defense needs to wrap up.
7:52 p.m. RT @joeyhelmer10: That'll do it for the first quarter. Remember what I said about a lower scoring game than most thought? Trending that ...
7:52 p.m. First quarter stats: Total yds: OU-122, AM-110; Rush: OU-40, AM-71; Pass-OU-82, AM-39. Jones 11-13, 82 yds, Manziel 5-7, 39 yds #Sooners
7:53 p.m. Sorry for the lack of tweets. We're having major internet issues in Cotton Bowl press box.
7:53 p.m. Ags lead OU 7-3 after 1st qtr. OU has already run 24 plays. Good idea. Keep Manziel on sideline watching.
7:53 p.m. MT @lukemcconnell1 OU taking a VERY slow tempo to keep Manziel off the field. Good strategy.
7:53 p.m. OU is driving as first quarter ends. A&M up 7-3. Sooners taking time on drives. #ATTCBC
7:54 p.m. This from the guy turning around UCO football MT @NickBobeck: Manziel might have won the heisman but there aren't OLs better than A&M's
7:54 p.m. #OU ran 21 plays in first quarter. #TAMU ran 12. Tempo likely to pick up here unless #Sooners continue to control clock w ground game
7:54 p.m. Back to that Bell inc from the 1... If you're going to try something like that, why not make at least Millard the receiver?
7:54 p.m. First quarter press box fun fact: this hole lets us hear the crowd and the game. Thanks J. Jones!! pic.twitter.com/0cdsYoUI
7:55 p.m. Make is 24-14 in total plays. Still same result: #OU controlling TOP
7:55 p.m. There you go. Belldozer converts.
7:56 p.m. Trey Millard got lit up, drawing an "Oooohh" from the A&M side. Problem? Millard didn't have the ball and Bell went for a 1st #Sooners
7:56 p.m. Aggies had issues with Belldozer in 11. Problems continue tonight in Cotton
7:57 p.m. That was Landry Jones' 10th consec completion
7:58 p.m. #Sooners defense probably isn't going to stop Manziel tonight, so maybe the offense can. 1st drive, 16 plays. This one is now at 17.
7:58 p.m. RT @johnehoover: #Sooners defense probably isn't going to stop Manziel tonight, so maybe the offense can. 1st drive, 16 plays. This one ...
7:59 p.m. MT @RohdeOK: Despite Cotton Bowl at same time, very few empty seats in The Peake.Choppy game, however.
7:59 p.m. Field goal, #Sooners. Another long, time-consuming drive that doesn't end with a touchdown, but another field goal.
7:59 p.m. Wow. JaLen Saunders was wide open there. Jones looking left when he should've checked right. #Sooners settle for 3, trail 7-6
8:00 p.m. Landry Jones' pass on 3rd-and-goal was high and behind Trey Millard; #Sooners settle for another FG. A&M leads 7-6, 11:41 left 1st half
8:00 p.m. Ball was still in Millard's hands, though. He should've come down with it #Sooners
8:01 p.m. Texas A&M 7, #Sooners 6, 1141, 2Q: Now that was the longest scoring drive of OU's season. First one went 16 plays, that one 18.
8:01 p.m. So that's 2 #Sooners drives covering 34 plays and 156 yards, but just 2 field goals to show.
8:01 p.m. #Sooners FG drive covers 18 plays, 87 yds in 7:26. #OU has had drives of 18 and 16 yds for two FGs. #TAMU up, 7-6
8:01 p.m. Oklahoma gets its second field goal of game. It's 7-6. And the wi-fi outage claims more victims in press box
8:01 p.m. OU may be trailing but OU playing perfect gainst A&M - drives of 16 and 18 plays. Keeping Manziel on sideline.
8:01 p.m. OU moving ball with quick passes to receivers, but stalls again in red zone...pass off Trey Millard's hands. OU settles for FG, down 7-6
8:01 p.m. This is an offensive game, minus the points. #Aggies have to be happy with two red zone trips, holding #OU out of the end zone.
8:01 p.m. #Sooners doing a great job moving the ball, controlling the clock, but they've gotta get TDs against this offense.
8:02 p.m. RT @kbsooner: @jasonkersey no reason to miss that catch, especially if you are NFL bound.
8:03 p.m. Oklahoma not really worried about executing a hurry-up offense. A 16-play drive and then an 18-play drive. #Sooners
8:03 p.m. Red zone issues aside, I like Heupel's play calling tonight. Bell zone read to convert 3rd-and-1 was Rico Suave.
8:03 p.m. RT @Jake_Trotter: Going in, OU had converted 70.3 percent of red zone opps into TDs. 0 for 2 today.
8:03 p.m. RT @OU_Football: #Sooners 18-play drive that ate 7:26 off the clock was OU's longest of the season in terms of both plays and drives
8:04 p.m. My wireless here in Cowboys Stadium went down for about last 15 minutes -- sorry about that. Ags lead 7-6 w/ 11:11 left to halftime.
8:05 p.m. Why no Christine Michael on that short-yardage third down? A&M used Trey Williams, who did get it.
8:07 p.m. Gabe Lynn got all kinds of turned around on that long Manziel run
8:08 p.m. Manziel has 104 yards rushing in the first 21 minutes of action. The Sooners aren't having too much fun chasing this dude around. Fun stuff.
8:08 p.m. Manziel's rushing line -- 5 carries, 104 yds -- reminds me of something JC Watts would've put on K-State in first 20 mins.
8:08 p.m. Manziel's 44 yard run was a thing of beauty. Unbelievable change of direction as A&M now at OU 5.
8:09 p.m. #JohnnyFootball already at 105 rushing yards w 9:17 left in half. Only a handful of carries (five, unofficially)
8:09 p.m. Johnny Manziel: 5 carries, 104 yards after that 44-yard run. Very, very impressive to see him in person. #Sooners
8:09 p.m. Anyone want to draw that route Johnny Manziel just ran? Gain of 44 yards takes them to the 11. Jefferson getting beat twice.

8:12 p.m. Manziel's pass bounces off Malcome Kennedy's hands, picked off by Javon Harris in the end zone. Huge, huge break for #Sooners there
8:12 p.m. Javon Harris caps an up-and-down drive for him & the #Sooners defense with an interception
8:12 p.m. Malcome Kennedy DROPS TD pass from Manziel, Javon Harris gets his 6th INT of the season. Pear trees can catch. What a turn of events.
8:12 p.m. That is what you call the defintion of a break. Javon Harris beaten for a TD, but gets a late Christmas gift. #Sooners
8:12 p.m. Most Awkward Sooner celebration since Josh Heupel, Post 2000 BCS title: And the winner is, ....
8:12 p.m. Malcome Kennedy can't hang onto ball, deflects it to Harris. Goes down as Manziel pick in end zone.
8:12 p.m. That Manziel INT in the endzone: Tony Jefferson tips, A&M's Kennedy tips and Javon Harris picks it off and gets tackled by Kennedy.
8:13 p.m. Big break for the #Sooners. Manziel was faced with pressure, hit Malcome Kennedy in the hands. Bounced off and Harris w/6th INT this season.
8:13 p.m. Manziel will be credited with an INT but the fault lies with Malcolm Kennedy. If the ball hits you in both hands, you have to catch it, kid.
8:13 p.m. #TAMU receiver Malcolme Kennedy lets would-be TD pass clang off hands for INT in end zone. Huge turnarnound. Big miss by Kennedy

8:13 p.m. Sorry on that last tweet. Malcome Kennedy's first name was misspelled.
8:13 p.m. Lot of game left, but that was an ENORMOUS turnover by the #Sooner defense. Now the offense must continue its momentum. #Aggies
8:14 p.m. On that Manziel route of 44 yards:: RT @ddownham @stephkuzy spin in a circle 30 times then try and run straight. That was his path.
8:14 p.m. For all the things Johnny Manziel has done tonight, that throw as actually one of the more impressive. Was the receiver surprised?
8:14 p.m. Replay shows #OU T.Jefferson may have gotten fingernail on pass. But not enough to absolve Kennedy. Brutal play resulting in #OU INT
8:14 p.m. OU's Jefferson tips pass right in front of A&M WR Kennedy, through Kennedy;s hands, Javon Harris INT in end zone.
8:14 p.m. Still amazed by Manziel on the pick. Guy spins for no reason, gets heat from RJ Washington and still makes a split-sec read, throw.
8:16 p.m. RT @TimGriffinBig12: Damontre Moore getting a lot of treatment along the sidelines for ailing right ankle. Ags can't afford to lose him.

8:18 p.m. I've counted, like, 53 diff ways the #Sooners have used Millard. Almost as if saying: "See? You come back next yr, there's no limit..."

8:22 p.m. Jones INT by Aggies CB Dustin Harris, playing in his last college game. Ags on OU 48. #mysa
8:22 p.m. Landry Jones intercepted by A&M's Dustin Harris. Just another one of those head scratching decisions by the #Sooners QB.
8:22 p.m. Aaand there's your head-scratcher. Shepard open, Jones underthrows him, A&M ball at OU 48.
8:22 p.m. Harris _ A&M's Harris _ cancels out OU's Harris' pick
8:22 p.m. That Landry Jones pass was right on the money. But it wasn't to a teammate.
8:23 p.m. There's your the mandatory Landry Jones lock-in INT. Can you say he got it out of the way early? #Sooners #A&M
8:23 p.m. Landry under no pressure, throws pick. Nice play by A&M's Dustin Harris
8:23 p.m. Touchdown Texas A&M. Momentum has shifted in a big way following Jones interception.
8:23 p.m. Tony Jefferson limping badly.
8:24 p.m. Texas A&M 14, #Sooners 6, 614, 2Q: Aggies score just three plays after Jones INT. Manziel with easy 5-yard run.
8:24 p.m. Tony Jefferson limping so badly he was no factor as a spy on that play. Couldn't get within five yards of Manziel's bootleg #Sooners
8:24 p.m. No idea what Jefferson was looking at on that fake handoff by Manziel. Stood there for 2 full seconds after JM ran right by him. Yikes.
8:24 p.m. This time Manziel gets TD, scrambling to his left for end zone. A&M up 14-6
8:24 p.m. Manziel 5-yard TD run. 6:14 left, 1st half, Texas A&M 14, #Sooners 6.

8:25 p.m. A&M cashes in just like that...Manziel runs it in wide open on left side. UP 14-7. Used trick play on a Kenric McNeal pass to move ball
8:25 p.m. #Sooners caught a break with the Harris INT, and gave it right back. OU can't win if it doesn't take advantage of opportunities.
8:25 p.m. Johnny Manziel gets picked & seven plays later, Landry Jones gets picked off. Difference: Manziel turned around & made it into points
8:25 p.m. This is why when you keep Johnny Football from scoring on back-to-back series, you'd better follow up with pts of your own. TDs, not FGs.
8:26 p.m. #Sooners need a TD drive here or they are in danger of letting momentum get out of control in #CottonBowl. Ags rolling after that TD
8:26 p.m. Landry has a strong arm. He really does. But not on that INT. Could he have been throwing to a spot? Was Shepard in right place? #Sooners
8:26 p.m. Two redzone field goals and that interception are examples of #Sooners not taking advantage of opportunities.
8:26 p.m. Drive following Dustin Harris INT: 3 plays, 48 yards, 43 seconds, 5-yard TD run by Manziel. Ags lead 14-6.
8:26 p.m. The banquet circuit hasn't slowed down Manziel. He's chewing up this #OU defense. 14-6, #Aggies .
8:27 p.m. RT @BChatmon: Gigem: 26 plays, 237 yards, 9.1 ypp.... #sooners 38 plays, 176 yards 4.6 ypp
8:27 p.m. 14-6, A&M, I mean.
8:27 p.m. This is 5th game of season for #JohnnyFootball to have at least 100 rushing yards, 2 TDs. And it's not even halftime. #CottonBowl
8:28 p.m. The truth about #Sooners running clock: At the end of OU drives #A&M defense looks rested. At the end of #A&M's, the Sooners are gassed
8:29 p.m. Stills has to go out for a critical third down because his helmet came off.
8:29 p.m. Wow. That didn't take long. Johnny goes 5 for TD after interception as Ags lead 14-6.
8:30 p.m. Just me, but I'm putting Landry Jones back on field for a third-and-2 quick-out. Funny feeling about Bell right here. We'll see...

8:38 p.m. Very slick & veteran move by Justin Brown to leave his man, Everett, so Landry could get him an easy ball. TD #Sooners, 14-13, 1:16 til half
8:38 p.m. Landry Jones repeats season-long trend... Answering terrible mistake with terrific drive. #Sooners within 14-13 as a result.
8:38 p.m. Texas A&M 14, #Sooners 13, 116, 2Q: The Sooners don't chase points, choose to go with PAT. 13-play drive for OU.
8:38 p.m. Landry Jones fit the ball into a tight window on that TD throw to Brown. #Sooners down one with 76 secs left in the first half.
8:38 p.m. Previous Cotton Bowl record for 1st half completions was 15 by Rick Clausen of Tennessee. Landry now has 23. #Sooners

9:35 p.m. Gabe Lynn absolutely whiffed on that tackle #Sooners
9:35 p.m. Bad Bertolet.
9:35 p.m. Trey Williams with a 30-yard TD run to lift Aggies to 27-13 lead over Oklahoma w/ 6:30 remaining in 3rd Q. Bertolet misses x point.
9:35 p.m. Trey Williams' 30yd TD run may have been the knockout blow in 3Q. At very least, #Sooners just absorbed a standing 8-count. Ags up, 27-13
9:36 p.m. Missed tackles on that Aggies touchdown run from both Javon Harris and Gabe Lynn. OU 13, TAMU 27
9:36 p.m. I don't think Mike Stoops and the #Sooners DBs expected #Aggies WRs to be such physical blockers. It's a mugging every time.
9:36 p.m. Texas A&M 27, #Sooners 13, 630, 3Q: Poor tackling by Sooners. Aggies picked up first downs on five of the drive's 7 plays.
9:37 p.m. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Don't blame Brent Venables for this one. #Sooners
9:38 p.m. #Sooners have run 57 plays for 266 yards (4.6 avg). #Aggies have run 46 plays for 447 yards (9.7 avg).
9:38 p.m. So if the Aggies hold on here, will Bob Stoops lift up Kevin Sumlin after the game at midfield (it's an A&M-Cotton tradition?)
9:39 p.m. RT @ATTCottonBowl: The attendance for the 2013 Classic is 87,025--the second largest crowd the Classic has seen in its 77 year history. ...
9:39 p.m. If this is a shootout, Manziel is Tony Montana. Problem is, #Sooners don't have the dude in the sunglasses to sneak up from behind. #Aggies
9:40 p.m. #Sooners RT @JasonKirkSBN *Eleven point nine* for A&M RT @SBNationCFB: Oklahoma ranks 97th in yards allowed per rush, as you can see.
9:41 p.m. The most serious flaw in #Sooners gameplan: No downfield presence against A&M's 79th-ranked pass D.
9:41 p.m. RT @GuerinEmig: The most serious flaw in #Sooners gameplan: No downfield presence against A&M's 79th-ranked pass D.
9:42 p.m. RT @GuerinEmig: The most serious flaw in #Sooners gameplan: No downfield presence against A&M's 79th-ranked pass D.
9:42 p.m. I say that, but the dink-and-dunk plan did help #Sooners control first half clock. Catching up with them now, obviously.
9:43 p.m. #Sooners lose the ball on illegal touching after Brown catch (stepped OB). OU goes three-and-out for third consecutive possession.
9:43 p.m. #OU has now owned 3Q w three consecutive 3-and-outs after having zero punts -- and three long scoring drives -- in first half
9:44 p.m. Attendance: 87,025 2nd most in Cotton Bowl history. #mysa
9:44 p.m. #CottonBowl attendance is 87,025, second largest in history of the game.
9:44 p.m. Oklahoma had 20 first downs in the first half. OU has gone three-and-out on three consecutive possessions to open second half. #Sooners
9:44 p.m. Three three-and-outs. This is a totally different looking offense after halftime.
9:45 p.m. And that, all you bean counters, was my 20,000th tweet. #roundnumbers
9:46 p.m. RT @john_shinn: I've seen guys fight bears and have more success than OU's defensive line has had against A&M's offensive line.
9:46 p.m. Javon Harris just came through in a big way by batting down that pass.
9:48 p.m. Johnny Manziel's 169 yards are a Cotton Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback. #Sooners
9:49 p.m. Manziel sets the Cotton record for rushing yards by a QB with 169. #mysa
9:49 p.m. Texas A&M is averaging 9.5 yards per play. #Sooners

9:49 p.m. Touchdown A&M, 33 yard pass. #Sooners
9:50 p.m. 4th-and-5, Johnny Manziel hits Ryan Swope for a 33-yard TD pass. Aggies now up 34-13 with 3:55 left in the 3rd #Sooners
9:50 p.m. And on the game's 1st fourth down, Manziel throws a TD pass to Swope as #Aggies now dominating, 34-13. Game over #Sooners
9:50 p.m. Texas A&M 34, #Sooners 13,, 355, 3Q: Manziel to Swope 33-yard TD pass.
9:50 p.m. I'd say it's all unravling. Disorganized coaches calling TO. Players missing tackles. Manziel setting records. Feel bad for Javon Harris.
9:50 p.m. Here comes the S-E-C chants. #Sooners
9:50 p.m. S-E-C chant breaks out after that A&M touchdown
9:50 p.m. I saw #Sooners shoulders slumping big-time after OU's 2nd 3 & out this half. Now the S-E-C! S-E-C! chants have begun.
9:51 p.m. On 4-&-5, Julian Wilson misses tackle of Swope & leaves Javon Harris to chase after him, watching him cross the goal line. TAMU 34 OU 13
9:51 p.m. And the Aggies convert a 4th and 5 ... for a TD. Manziel to Swope across middle for 33 yards. A&M leads 34-13 w/ 3:55 in 3rd.
9:51 p.m. SEC chants starting now with #Aggies on top of #OU, 34-13, w 3:55 left in 3Q of #CottonBowl. #JohnnyFootball just threw TD pass on 4/5 play
9:51 p.m. #Aggies Manziel has 412 total yards, also a Cotton Bowl record. Give him another #Heisman. #Sooners
9:53 p.m. #Sooners look like they're playing with a sense of urgency for the first time this quarter. Too little, too late?
9:55 p.m. This is a heck of an audition for RB coach Clarence McKinney, who's calling plays in place of departed OC K. Kingsbury.
9:58 p.m. Well, in a couple images since its a GIF but:: RT @SBNationGIF OU should probably just get out of the way now. bit.ly/139fZfS

They gallop and trot, whinny and neigh, capturing our imagination — and our hearts.
Indeed, horses are said to have done more to change human history than any
other domestic animal, once upon a time carrying explorers to
new frontiers and mighty armies to great conquests.

When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk:
he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it;
the basest horn of his hoof is more

There is something about the outside of a horse
that is good for the inside of a man.

A horse! a horse! My kingdom for a horse!

A horse gallops with his lungs,
Perseveres with his heart,
And wins with his character.

A horse is worth more than riches.
– Spanish Proverb
There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.
– Robert Smith Surtees
Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

And Allah took a handful of southerly wind,
blew His breath over it, and created the horse.
Thou shall fly without wings, and conquer without any sword.

Game time.

finally looks like we realize we're playing a couple minutes in, we've been starting slow the last 4 or 5 games offensively.
Did Cory Mc just do something good?
We're tied 7-7. Guard matchups:
off / def
Jerrells / Taylor
Bruce / Clark
Carter / McIntosh
Taylor / Tweedy Carter
McIntosh / Jerrells
Clark / Bruce
I think we can exploit the Taylor / Carter matchup. Taylor is bigger and faster than Tweedy Carter. I'm still worried about Jerrells on offense against Taylor.
tweety, like the bird.
Thanks for the correction baylrballa.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
Wesley!!!!!! Ball handling and a flat out monster jam...
The crowd is into it now.
how about Chris Ceaser as the third man off the bench, McD must really like his defense!
Big Shawn, Super Clone!
who is the chick announcing the game?

December 1 marks the beginning of meteorological winter. Meteorological winter is comprised of December, January and February. In many ways the grouping of these three full months does embody winter more so than our astronomical winter. ( Astronomical winter officially begins on the twenty first at 6:12 AM with the Winter Solstice or ' Winter Sun Standstill'. That's the earliest winter since 1896.)
The average high and low for the first is fifty two and thirty six. By the end of the month the averages drop to forty three and twenty eight. We average a little over three inches of melted precipitation and a bit over three inches of snow. Dulles averages a little over four inches of snow for the month. The snowiest December on record is last December when we recorded 16.6" of snow. We've had over sixteen inches in 1962 and in 1966. The highest temperature ever recorded in December is seventy eight degrees set on December sixth, fourteen years ago in 1998. The lowest temperature recorded is thirteen below zero set on the twenty eighth, way back in 1880. The longest stretch of subfreezing temperatures was from evening of the fifteenth until the evening of the twenty sixth.
Venus will be in the eastern sky a couple of hours before sunrise and getting very close to the horizon. Mercury is below Venus in the morning sky the first half of the month. Look lower and to the left of Venus. Jupiter will also be visible during the month several hours after dusk and will be closest to the earth on the first. The new moon occurs on the thirteenth. That will work out well as we will be treated to the Geminid meteor shower after nightfall. Remember the best way to view the meteor showers is to lie down away from lights and look straight up; that way you won't have a stiff neck the next day. The full moon is on the twenty eighth and is called the Full Cold Moon.

The best reference that our project group has for developing historically accurate cities, villages, settlements, equipment, tools, etc., is a German language book by Dr. Konrad Bedal called "Häuser aus Franken" (Franconian Buildings). A new edition has been released, and we have it. So we'd like to get the previous edition into the hands of someone who can make use of it. The new edition in no way invalidates the older one; it just has a few more buildings added. It has 304 pages filled with photos, floor plans and explanations of how things were built and why they were built in that manner. It's free to the first person here who asks for it. I'll mail it anywhere in Europe. If your interested, contact me at:

Padres have infield insurance in Ransom
Follow the Padres on Facebook

PEORIA, Ariz. Cody Ransom doesn't expect to be with the Padres on Opening Day.
After more than a decade around the major leagues, the versatile infielder has been on an Opening Day roster only twice.
More than likely, Ransom will open the season with Triple-A Tucson waiting for the call that invariably comes. Ransom is the Padres insurance policy. If an infielder goes on the disabled list, Ransom will likely get a call from the Padres.
"In 16 years, I've never had a guaranteed contract," Ransom said recently, a touch of pride in his voice. "But I've never lacked for a job. Every winter, teams call me. They know who I am and what I bring."
And what is that?
"Cody brings stability to us," said Padres manager Bud Black. "If we need to make a move, we know Cody is there. And at age 37, he has a great perspective. If he's at Tucson, his experience and attitude will be of great value."
That's not always the case in Triple-A where the psyches of veterans and prospects collide. Veterans who believe they should be in the major leagues sometimes create a poisonous atmosphere for prospects headed in that direction.
Clubs have always coveted Ransom.
Since being drafted in the ninth round by San Francisco in 1998, Ransom has been employed by nearly a third of the major league franchises. This marks the seventh time he has come to spring training as a minor league free agent. Twice he has been claimed off waivers. Once he was traded for "cash considerations."
Although he first reached the major leagues in 2001, he has amassed only four seasons of major league service in 12 years. Only 10 percent of his 5,590 professional at-bats have come in the major leagues – where he owns a .220 career average in 321 games.
But each winter, clubs call Ransom, who said the number of clubs interested in him last winter reached "double digits" before he signed with the Padres on Dec. 20.
"I've never lacked for a job," said Ransom. "I've always had a lot of calls as soon as I've been out there. I'm proud of that. I'm not holding on. Teams know what I can do and what I represent."
And they're willing to pay above minor league scale to have a player like Ransom ready in case of an emergency.
"Baseball has been great to me and my family," said Ransom, who was born and still lives in the Phoenix area. "Obviously, I'd prefer to be playing every day in the major leagues. But I respect the game and I try to pass that along.
"Early in my career, dealing with what I do was harder for me. But when I look back, I don't think I'd change what I'm doing. I like who I am. I don't take anything for granted. Baseball is a tough game, it's a grind, especially for someone in my position every year."
But the four-time Triple-A All-Star looks at the positive side.
"My family has had a chance to live in a lot of places and meet a lot of people," he said. "My kids make friends quickly."
Ericka Ransom, nine-year-old daughter Mackenzie and five-year-old son Jordan join Cody each summer as school is out. Over the course of 16 professional seasons, Ransom has played in as many cities – in addition to spring training.
"I don't take anything for granted," said Ransom. "But I know the system. I've I don't make an Opening Day roster, I know there will be an opportunity at some time as long as I go down and play well. Baseball is great in that area.

Leigh Shannon, one of Orlando's most recognized and known gay entertainers, is celebrating 32 years as a female impersonator and entertainer on Jan. 30.
The anniversary show will take place at Hamburger Mary's in downtown Orlando, where Shannon hosts a very popular cabaret dinner show every Saturday at 8:30 p.m. The free show starts seating for dinner and appetizers at 6:30 p.m., which is when I suggest you get there because it will be a packed house. There is no cover, and there will be no tables to sit at if you don't get there early.
Like the cabaret show, female impersonators will entertain you for the show that lasts until 10 p.m. Page King will host the night dedicated to Shannon, along with other special guests. The show is not recommended for those under 18.
Also, starting this Friday, Shannon brings back "Orlando's Got Talent" to Hamburger Mary's. Singers, comedians and more are invited to compete against one another every Friday at 9 p.m. for the next five weeks. There is over $1,500 in cash and prizes and the competition takes place from Jan. 15 – Feb. 12. Call 321-319-0600.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- George Washington University admits that financial need can come into play for admitting students who have been put on a waiting list, according to the school's student newspaper The GW Hatchet.
The university previously claimed it used a "need-blind" application process, meaning the applicant's financial status is not a factor in admission.
The university issued a statement that read in part:
"What has changed is the new leadership in enrollment management. What we are trying to do is increase the transparency of the admissions process."
The cost of attending George Washington University is roughly $60,000 per year.
