SEC Storied: No Experience Required (Texas A&M)

SEC Storied: No Experience Required will be shown Tuesday, 9/20 at 8PM EST.

"Join the team." It is a mantra that Texas A&M students have lived by since E. King Gill came out of the stands as a student to suit up for an injury riddled A&M football team in 1922. "Stand as one" is what Aggie students do through every home game as the 12th Man to show that they are one with their team on the field. In 1983, Aggie Head Coach Jackie Sherrill, under the pressures of having signed the the richest coaching contract in college football history and delivering only a 5-6 record in his first season, came up with a crazy idea. Emmy Award winner Kenan K. Holley (also directed SEC Storied's "Dominque Belongs to Us" and "The Walk Off") directs the tale of a coach willing to take a risk. Sherrill decided his kickoff coverage team would be made up entirely of regular college students. Hundreds tried out; few made it. The few who made it went from being disrespected by their scholarship teammates and ridiculed by the press as a publicity stunt, to becoming the most feared kickoff team in America.
