...And a Bowl Full of Cotton

Looks like the Aggies will be facing Tennesse at the Cotton Bowl this year on New Year's Day. Just a big of Aggie Bowl history...

A&M’s first bowl appearance was actually in Dallas as E. King Gill, the original 12th Man, and head coach Dana X. Bible beat Centre College, 22-14, on Jan, 2, 1922 at Fair Park Stadium. Gill came out of the press box and stood ready on the A&M sideline but never entered the game. Since that time, the A&M student body “stands ready” throughout football games as the 12th Man.
