"It feels really good to be a champion and to be appreciated. Knowing that we represented A&M and helped the community enjoy being on top as national champions feels good as well."
The team gathered around head coach Pat Henry. The 29-time championship coach thanked the team's coaches, assistants and family members, then highlighted his team's athletes, their accomplishments and finally the seniors. The graduating class is the first class Henry recruited to A&M upon his arrival in 2005.
"First off they tell me that the Aggies are loyal to their school and their programs," Henry said. "To be here at 10 at night, you all have proven that."
The Yell Leaders led a yell practice and the War Hymn before wrapping up organized festivities.
"This is great," said senior environmental studies major Justin Oliver. "It is 10:30 at night, people have work and school tomorrow and still so many showed up. It feels really good to know that so many people are behind us back home. It is amazing to be here right now."
"The team's accomplishments are a credit to Bill Byrne and the athletic department," Schaefer said. "He has been bringing great coaches to A&M and this accomplishment will bring recognition to our great programs. Hopefully more will follow suit."
