After leading Texas A&M to a groundbreaking 11-2 (6-2) season in the program's first bout with the Southeastern Conference, Kevin Sumlin has agreed, in principle, to a salary increase and contract extension pending a February 2 Board of Regents meeting.
Monetary figures were released by Texas A&M, detailing the revenue generated by the media exposure that A&M's successful football season and Johnny Manziel's Heisman Trophy brought to the University.
The No. 20 Texas A&M women's basketball team will travel to Athens, GA., on Sunday to take on the No. 13 Georgia Bulldogs.
After an electric performance in the national spotlight at Kentucky by Texas A&M this past Sunday, the No. 10 Florida Gators handed A&M its first loss in SEC play at Reed Arena Thursday night.
Senior walk-on, Jarod Jahns, averaging just 9.5 minutes per game, had little reason to suspect a matchup against the defending national champions to yield exceptional playing time. Three minutes into one of the biggest games of the season, however, senior forward and starter Ray Turner got into foul trouble.
Texas A&M basketball players have taken to Twitter to sound off on a high-profile Aggie who will be in Reed Arena for Thursday's matchup of Southeastern Conference leaders A&M and No. 10 Florida: "Johnny Basketball."
New Yorkers have a short memory. Johnny Manziel's name did not pass among the population of New York for long – the Heisman Trophy, after all, however rare it may be for patrons of Kyle Field, is awarded every year. Johnny Football displaced the bright socks of Robert Griffin III, who displaced the loud smile of Cam Newton. It is cyclical. Athletes of Manziel's age flare brightly and fade.
But for the briefest of times, for someone walking at street level of Times Square, the biggest face in the world belonged to Johnny Manziel. Try to say that about any other A&M figure, ever.
After just a single semester, public perception of A&M has been entirely redefined. Behind the efforts of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, the Aggies fought their way to an 11-2 inaugural record in the Southeastern Conference, silencing critics and transforming A&M's national image.

We're getting greedy in Aggieland. Nothing about the past month has been anything but a side effect of winning. The successive departures of offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, defensive end Damontre Moore, offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, and special teams coordinator Brian Polian were the painful symptoms of a Cotton Bowl thrashing and a stuffed field house trophy case. Coaches leapfrogging to head coaching jobs and juniors skipping out early for the NFL are things that happen to winning teams. They come with the territory. Ask Nick Saban and Alabama how long coaches and players last.
Texas A&M, competing in its first conference road matchup of the season, downed the defending national champion Kentucky Wildcats 83-71 Saturday afternoon at Rupp Arena.
As students entered town for the start of the spring semester, the Texas A&M women's basketball team showed they were in mid-season form. The Aggies eased to a 78-56 victory over the Auburn Tigers Sunday afternoon at Reed Arena.
41-13. Remember this score well, Aggies, because its symbolism is undeniable. If there was a better way to end A&M's storybook season, I would be hard-pressed to conceive it. The Aggies drubbed the Oklahoma Sooners into submission Friday night. Johnny Manziel shut down any and all criticism regarding his claim to the Heisman Trophy by slashing through the Sooners' defense in any form he saw fit.

After ten wins, a Heisman Memorial trophy and a slew of post-season awards unprecedented in program history, Texas A&M's season isn't yet over. Friday at Cowboys Stadium, the No. 10 Aggies will bring in 2013 by finishing a campaign begun in 2012, taking on No. 12 Oklahoma in the AT&T Cotton Bowl.
Heisman Trophy winners have a reputation of under-playing in the post-season following their receiving the award, but Johnny Manziel quelled any doubts by breaking open a 14-13 game with 27 unanswered points and the No. 10 Aggies ran away with the 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl against No. 12 Oklahoma, 41-13.
Seventy-five names, all of them striking: Davey O'Brien, Earl Campbell, Tim Tebow, John David Crow, Charles Woodson, Roger Staubach, Cam Newton, Archie Griffin and now, Johnny Manziel. On Saturday, the most exclusive fraternity in American athletics grew by one, College Station made its mark on Manhattan, and Manziel bulled his way into the pantheon of college football. There's another Heisman trophy in Aggieland.
As I watched this magical 2012 Texas A&M football season unfold, I couldn't help but recall my first Aggie bowl game several years ago. A&M played Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl and I would witness my first live taste of SEC football. It was men against boys — the Vols were comically bigger, faster and stronger than the helpless players on A&M's sideline. The Aggies, quite frankly, didn't stand a chance.
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel earned his place in history Saturday evening, becoming the first-ever freshman to claim the Heisman Memorial Trophy. Manziel will join John David Crow – winner of the 1957 award – as the lone Aggies in the legendary Heisman brotherhood.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, alongside Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, was named one of three finalists Monday for the Heisman Memorial Trophy, an award granted to the most outstanding individual player in college football.
Full story
Not much in the modern realm of college football can be labeled as "outstanding" anymore. Outstanding implies quality beyond greatness. The term insinuates power and depth, molding itself from the very qualities that legends are made of. For decades, this word — outstanding — has stood as the lone qualification of the sport's most prestigious individual award, the Heisman Memorial Trophy.
Full story
In 2012, Texas A&M saw the revelation that was the beginning of the "Johnny Football" phenomenon, or Johnny Manziel, as he prefers to go by his real name. Throughout the season, the redshirt freshman quarterback has dazzled the crowds in the stadiums and those tuned to their TVs to the point where he now stands as a Heisman Award finalist and potentially the first freshman to win the prestigious award.

A&M and the Big 12 Conference separated a season ago, but the two institutions will meet again — and sooner than many predicted. The No. 9 Aggies will play in the 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl at Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 4 against former Big 12 foe No. 11 Oklahoma.
On Friday night, the season came to an end for the A&M volleyball team as they fell to No. 3 Texas in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

For two consecutive afternoons the national sports scene — including ESPN and Sports Illustrated — held its breath in eager anticipation, focusing absolute attention upon the quaint town of College Station, Texas. They wanted an answer to a simple question.
Full story
It's hard not to love the dichotomy of the A&M football team between the new and the old.
The expectations entering A&M's inaugural season with the Southeastern Conference were never high. For months, critics from around the country guaranteed failure or, at best, mediocrity for a program matching wits against the premier college football league in the nation.
The A&M women's basketball team defeated Southern 88-48 on Friday at the A&M Classic and finished with an 84-64 victory over Marquette on Sunday afternoon.
Rivalries matter in college football. A&M is no stranger to that. We still sing about the Longhorns every week and I can't help but wonder what fans of the opposition must be thinking when we do. So far it hasn't mattered, because when the players and fans have sawed varsity's horns off, opposing stadiums have already been emptied or shamed into submission by head coach Kevin Sumlin's bottled lightning of an offense.
Full story
With "Johnny Football" and Heisman talk ablaze across the country, the overachieving Aggie defense took a back seat in publicity. What often goes unnoticed are the integral contributions of A&M defenders — including two senior linebackers — to what could be A&M's first 10-win season since 1998.
Full story
Two seasons.
For only two short seasons, A&M will be obligated to endure a forced Thanksgiving weekend rivalry with Missouri — the same Missouri that skipped into the green pastures of the SEC on the Aggies' realignment coattails.
It has been a long and grueling season for the Texas A&M Aggies, who have not had a week off since Hurricane Isaac postponed the season opener against Louisiana Tech. Eleven straight weeks of physical, hard-nosed SEC football.
A stretch of three non-conference, top-10 matchups to begin the season ended as the No. 16 Aggies fell behind early to No. 2 UConn and never threatened. The Huskies used a 41-22 second half to bury A&M at Reed, 81-50.
The Texas A&M volleyball team captured at least a share of the SEC West championship with a victory on Friday night against the Missouri Tigers 3-1 on senior night at Reed Arena.
As Texas A&M head coach Billy Kennedy put it, it was an ugly game from beginning to end. Struggling from the field, the Aggies were able to get by Prairie View A&M 81-59 Thursday night at Reed Arena.
Youthful mistakes and missed opportunities were the story of the night for the No. 13 A&M women's basketball team as the Aggies fell 63-58 to No. 9 Penn State at Reed Arena.
For head coach Gary Blair and the No. 12 Texas Aggies, the opening stretch of the season is a gauntlet. A&M scheduled three Top-10 teams in a row in hopes of jolting itself into the form that brought a Sweet Sixteen banner to Reed Arena last season and a National Championship the season before.
Spencer Nealy stood near the circle of referees after the penalty flag that would seal the A&M win, and he heard what he needed to hear. His fist went to the sky. The Aggie sideline lost its collective mind. The Aggie War Hymn sounded. SEC chants echoed.

Before the beginning of the 2012 A&M football season, so many questions lingered regarding the future of the program and its capacity to compete in the toughest conference in college football. After Saturday night's win in Alabama, with the Aggie War Hymn echoing in victory throughout historic Bryant-Denny Stadium, those questions were answered.
Full story
Back in August, most critics were down on the Texas A&M Aggies joining the powerful Southeastern Conference, not giving A&M any chance for success this season. Fast forward to November and those critics as many in that nation are left in shock after the No. 15 Aggies shocked the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide 29-24 front of 101,821 in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
No. 15 A&M took a 20-0 first quarter lead on the road against No. 1 Alabama and held on down the stretch for a 29-24 win.
The Aggies recorded their 18th win of the season in a 1-0 win over The Ladyjacks in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship held at Ellis Field on Friday. Annie Kunz scored the only goal of the match in the 29th minute to put The Aggies into the next round where they will play the winner of the match between Ohio State and Oakland.
Full story
After the Texas A&M transition from the Big 12 Conference to the Southeastern Conference, it didn't take long for cross-country to make its way to the top.
A&M throttled Mississippi State Saturday morning — the game was over before I finished breakfast — but there was something wrong. I've seen big wins in my time here. Some, though not many, were bigger than Saturday's road win over the No. 15 Bulldogs. I was thrilled with the win, but I wasn't beside myself as I was in 2010 after the Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas games. Have I matured since my freshman year? Hardly. So what was the difference? I'll tell you: Saturday, we expected it.
The atmosphere surrounding Davis-Wade Stadium was quieter than usual Saturday afternoon. Mississippi State's football team was more accustomed to the air being filled by the sound of thousands of cowbells.
On Sunday afternoon after the match against Arkansas, the tune "Takin' Care of Business" by BTO blared throughout Reed Arena. The A&M volleyball took care of business with a weekend sweep of Alabama and Arkansas. A&M (19-5, 11-4) opened a two game lead for first place ahead of the Razorbacks.
The Texas A&M basketball team opened its season with a 97-83 victory in an exhibition game against the Cardinals of Incarnate Word.
With the number two recruiting class of 2012 in the country, No. 12 Texas A&M women's basketball team defeated Arkansas Fort-Smith Lions 102-29 in the only exhibition game of the season Thursday. This was an easy win for The Aggies despite the departure of longtime associate head coach Vic Schaefer.
Full story
The Texas A&M football team enters this week with a challenging matchup against No. 15 Mississippi State in what will be one of the most evenly matched teams that the No. 16 Aggies will go against all season. For as prolific as the Aggie offense has looked this year, most of those on the coaching staff and the lineup feel that this team has not yet peaked offensively.

After going through a three game losing streak, the Texas A&M volleyball team righted the ship this weekend with wins against LSU and South Carolina as the Aggies remain tied with Arkansas on top of the SEC West standings.
It's going to be a shame, a true wasted opportunity, if Facebook feeds don't start blowing up with Johnny Football-themed Halloween costumes. I want to see guys named Johnny dressed up like footballs. I want girls wearing things that say "future Mrs. Football." Go wild; he's earned it. He did whatever he wanted to a bad SEC football team on the road, and if that's not enough reason for a Halloween costume I don't know what is.
After a close come-from-ahead loss Saturday to No. 6 LSU, the Texas A&M football team realigned its focus to a downtrodden 1-6 Auburn team — a squad coaches and players warn is more talented than they appear.
The Texas A&M volleyball team dropped the weekend slate to Tennessee and to 11th ranked Florida, falling to 15-5 overall and 7-4 in SEC play.
It wasn't a lack of effort or shortage of talent; there was no major coaching malfunction or grand refereeing mistake. At the end of the day, however, No. 6 LSU edged the high-octane No. 18 Aggies, 24-19.
Texas A&M opens up in the BCS rankings as No. 18 and will take on the No. 6 LSU Tigers at 11 a.m. at Kyle Field.
Starting an SEC caliber offensive line requires a quality not many positions in the sport necessitate anymore: experience. The characteristic is a standard among the top lines in the country, one that is shared by Texas A&M.
As rumors of A&M's move to the SEC surfaced, pundits cried bloody murder about the Aggies leaving behind their greatest in-state rivals. Media attacked A&M, blaming the University for trashing tradition and "abandoning" regional rivals Texas Tech, Baylor and Texas.
At the beginning of the football season, expectations around the Aggies were low. There were many questions surrounding this team: how would the Aggies fare in the SEC?
The Cadets (Maroon), boosted by the performance of senior pitcher Kyle Martin, defeated the Roughnecks (White) 5-0 in the inaugural game of A&M's Fall World Series scrimmage Wednesday afternoon.
The Texas A&M volleyball team remained on top of the SEC West despite earning a split during the weekend. The Aggies (15-3, 7-2) defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 3-2 Friday evening while losing to the Kentucky Wildcats Sunday afternoon 3-0.
Fighting the odds has always been Spencer Nealy's forte, a unique quality uncharacteristic of most college athletes, many of which hope for a future payout in professional ball. The senior defensive tackle has consistently met every challenge with a profound sense of determination and an unyielding amount of pure enthusiasm.
When schedules were released prior to the 2012 season, Aggie fans couldn't have anticipated anything akin to Saturday's looming matchup pitting the No. 22 Aggies (4-1, 2-1) against the No. 23 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. But head coach Kevin Sumlin did.
A&M soccer head coach G. Guerrieri has noticed a confidence shift in his team. His team is more ferocious, quicker on the attack. The confidence stems from the trust given to its sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Day, who has allowed only seven goals this season, giving A&M the seventh-best goals-against average in the country.
The No. 22 Aggies did just enough Saturday to pull out a 30-27 win in Oxford, Miss., against Ole Miss and climb into the Top-25 rankings for the first time this season. During Tuesday's press conference, head coach Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies said while the win was worth celebrating, they'll have to do more in this weekend's road date against No. 23 Louisiana Tech.
The Texas A&M volleyball team made a statement this weekend by sweeping South Carolina and Mississippi State and improving their record to 14-2 and 6-1 in SEC play, retaining sole possession of first place in the SEC West.
The Aggie offense took the field with 8:35 left in the fourth quarter, down by ten and holding not a sliver of momentum. Following last season's second half debacles, many Aggie fans would consider a comeback at this juncture to be out of the question.
After an 11-game win streak, the No. 5 Aggie soccer team fell at home 2-1 to the No. 18 Florida Gators on Sunday on the heels of a 5-0 win against Alabama on Friday. Sunday's loss was the first SEC loss for the Aggies this season, pushing their record to 6-1-1.
After an old army farmer's fight, the Aggie faithful can breathe once more. Rowdy up the gang and get a victory yell going. We have a lot to be excited about.
As the sun began to set in College Station on Friday, yet another SEC soccer matchup took place at Ellis Field between the No. 5 Texas A&M Aggies and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama proved to be no match for the Aggies as they rolled over the Tide 5-0 claiming their tenth shutout of the season.
To remember the last truly elite defenses to don the maroon and white, A&M fans have to look back to RC Slocum's "Wrecking Crew" of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Known rightfully as "Linebacker U" in the same era — with such greats as Aaron Wallace, John Roper and Quintin Coryatt — there was one area of strength often overlooked in Slocum's stalwart units: defensive backs.
Full story
The Aggies (3-1, 1-1) believe they broke a barrier last week in a home win over Arkansas, notching their first Southeastern Conference win and proving they can retain a large lead. Moving the ball in the friendly confines of Kyle Field and snatching a win from an SEC opponent on the road are two different games.
For Texas A&M, their 2012 season has evolved into a year destined for earth-shattering milestones. To cite a recent example, last Saturday's 58-10 demolishing of Arkansas can be noted as the Aggies' initial Southeastern Conference victory, not to mention the program's first win over the Razorbacks since 1991.
Another weekend brought about another undefeated stand for the Texas A&M soccer team. Despite competing in turbulent weather and hostile environments, A&M pulled off a comeback 2-2 tie at Kentucky before shutting out Mississippi State 2-0, improving to the top record in the conference at 11-1-1 (5-0-1).
For a majority of college football fans, the Southeastern Conference brings to mind two things: physical defenses and national championships. SEC coaches, who have secured the past six national titles, believe there is a correlation between defensive strength and claiming the crystal ball in January.
The student section of Kyle Field knows of junior defensive lineman Damontre Moore. So do his teammates, the former students on hand and the media behind the press box glass. The nation knows Moore, as his name landed on the preseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Award, given to the country's finest defensive end. But in 2012, no one knows Moore the way opposing quarterbacks know him.
The Texas A&M football team is looking to keep momentum going this weekend as they face off against Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas.
If one goal stands paramount for students, former students, local business and Texas A&M leadership above all, it's renovating Kyle Field the right way. To that I add this: do not allow a single home snap to escape College Station — ever.
The long awaited BCS championship game will make its debut on January 12, 2015 in the new four-team playoff format. The decision for the sites has now been narrowed to six cities with the final decision is expected to be released in the early part of next year.
Megan Pendergast is not your ordinary volleyball player. Standing 5 feet 6 inches tall, Megan does not allow her height to dictate her abilities on the court. Her drive and determination go above and beyond. Living and growing up in a city that embraces its space roots — Houston, Texas — Pendergast has NASA in her blood.
As you step out, you feel a distinct chill in the air. The leaves all around campus soon begin to change from their lively green to the orange and yellow signifying the arrival of fall.
The South Carolina State Bulldogs weren't ready. They weren't fast enough, strong enough or deep enough. The Aggies did to them what was expected of an SEC team. Sumlin and company scored 70 points and the Bulldogs scored 14; that's all that needs to be said for Saturday's laugher. It was fun, and it's over. Giggle one more time over the box score, O Aggie Stat-Nerds, and then toughen up.
Another weekend in the books, and the No. 10 Aggie soccer team (10-1, 4-0) shutout streak rolls on, extending to seven games with 2-0 wins over South Carolina on Friday and Auburn on Sunday. The win streak stands at eight games overall.
The Texas A&M volleyball team suffered their first SEC loss, snapping their nine game-winning streak by falling to the Kentucky Wildcats Sunday afternoon 3-2.
Coach Sumlin should be anxious as anyone about the state of his team. The same roster has taken the field on two separate occasions and the results were anything but consistent. Sumlin should breath easier this Saturday, not because the problem is solved, but because the next game is against the South Carolina State Bulldogs. It just won't matter.
As Texas A&M entered Southeastern Conference play this fall in many of its premier athletic competitions, critics from around the country continued to rile up doubt about whether or not the Aggies belonged in their new home.
The Texas A&M football team goes against the South Carolina State Bulldogs in a "tune-up" game.
