Texas A&M has once again been nominated for the best traditions in college football. Can they take the top ten again this year?

Scroll Down to Check Out The Best Traditions in College Football

We're just about a month out from Saturdays being dedicated to college football once again. We have several schools in Texas, but only one was nominated for having one of the best traditions in the country for 2025. Before we get to the history of this tradition, let's check out the top ten of 2024 below.

History of the 12th Man for Texas A&M

Although several traditions in college football have been nominated for 2025. The only one for the entire state of Texas is A&M's 12th Man. Which has actually been going on for over 100 years at this point. Back in 1922, a Texas A&M student named E. King Gill was asked to come out of the press box and suit up to potentially come into the game. The Aggies had so many injuries they only had eleven healthy players at this point in the game. Gill was a basketball player for the school, but stood ready on the sidelines to come into the game. The injury riddled Aggies had a chance to upset undefeated  Centre College at the time, but if they didn't have enough players they would have to forfit. The Aggies would win the game 22-14.

Students Stand to This Day Ready to Go Into the Game

The student section at Kyle Field stands the entire game ready to go in if needed just like Gill back in the day. Texas A&M once set the NCAA record for largest student section to attend a college football game at 40,032 back in 2014. However, the average attendance in the student section is around 38,000 for most home games.
