"[The students] spoke very genuinely about Texas A&M and what this experience would mean to them, what Texas A&M represents and how they want to represent the student body. We got a sense that people take pride in the University. It was really neat to see the creativity come out."
This is not the only idea Sherman cooked up to help connect the athletes with the University. Sherman has taken the team to Silver Taps, in addition to making practice open to the public for students to enjoy during a leisurely spring evening.
Sherman plans to encourage those in attendance to vote on which football player will represent the 12th Man by wearing the sacred No. 12 Jersey for the opening game of the upcoming football season.
"It's just part of my plan to integrate the student body with the football team and the football team with the student body," Sherman said. "That's what A&M football's all about, the 12th Man, so we just try to make that connection."
The Maroon and White game will kick off at 6 p.m. Saturday at Kyle Field. Martin said admissions are free for anyone who is college-age,or younger, and $5 for adults.
