The coaches are ready for The Classic

    The head coaches for Fridays' AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic met with the media one last time Wednesday morning. Even after several days of preparation and acclimation, the teams' excitement for the 2013 matchup has not lessened one bit.
     "For our fans, the location, the venue, everything that is going on, in our time slot Friday night for viewership nationally, it is going to be a great atmosphere at Cowboys Stadium," Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said. "We are excited to be here and are looking forward to Friday."
    It's been noted in the past that Cowboys Stadium is much louder for the AT&T Cotton Bowl than it is for Dallas Cowboys games - at least consistently throughout the game. Both coaches expect plenty of noise come Friday, on the field and in the stands.
    "We understand the challenge ahead of us in facing Texas A&M," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "Kevin [Sumlin, a former Stoops assistant] has done a great job there and I want to congratulate him on a great year this year. I know our fans are excited about this game, considering it sold out on the first day, and our players are as well. We are looking forward to Friday and can't wait for the challenge."
    The teams will get together on Thursday, but under friendly circumstances, with the annual AT&T Big Play Luncheon.
