COLLEGE STATION — The Southeastern Conference won't officially welcome Texas A&M until July 1. Florida coach Will Muschamp, however, offered an unofficial welcome this week — in the form of a lighthearted jab at Aggieland. “You ever been to College Station?” he asked a gathering of Gators fans, according to the Lakeland (Fla.) Ledger. “It'll be the only time you go.” Muschamp, whose team visits A&M on Sept. 8, is right. Aggieland, much like Gainesville, Fla., is hardly a vacation destination. The Brazos River, thanks to the fertile soil of the area, is brown and rugged near A&M, and the closest coast is the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center off of Rock Prairie Road.

Aggieland no vacation destination for Muschamps COLLEGE STATION – Florida coach Will Muschamp, a former Texas defensive coordinator, was asked Tuesday night at the Polk County Gator Club (that’s Polk County, Fla., not Polk County, Texas) to share his thoughts on the atmosphere at Texas A&M. The Aggies enter the Southeastern Conference on July 1 and Florida plays at A&M on Sept. 8, in the Aggies’ first SEC contest in any sport. “It will be a very SEC-like atmosphere,” Muschamp said, according to the Lakeland Ledger. “It’s one of the few places in the Big 12 that I would say that about.” He added, “You ever been to College Station? It’ll be the only time you go.” Ouch. Zinger. Welcome to the SEC. There might ... Continue reading →

Aggies’ Slocum earns Hall of Fame nod COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M’s all-time winner in football games, R.C. Slocum, earned a well-deserved honor on Tuesday: entrance into the College Football Hall of Fame. “To be able to join a group of coaches that I looked up to and admired during my career, and now to be associated with them, is an unbelievable honor,” Slocum said. “This is validation of the players, the assistant coaches and the entire staffs I was so fortunate to work with here at Texas A&M.” Slocum was 123-47-2 over his 14 years at A&M, and his teams won three consecutive Southwest Conference titles (1991-93), two Big 12 South titles (1997 and 1998) and a Big 12 championship (’98). His teams finished ... Continue reading →
