College Station cheers Aggies to title

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M fans huddled around televisions to watch the Aggies play in their first national championship game on Tuesday night.

And when they won, it seemed as if the crowds packed into bars and restaurants near the campus were trying to cheer loud enough for the team to hear them almost 1,000 miles away in Indianapolis.

Fans jumped up and down, high fiving and letting out Texas A&M's signature "whoop" as the seconds ticked down on the 76-70 victory over Notre Dame.

There was no official watch party, so hundreds of Aggies fans poured into every place with a television along University Drive just down from the Texas A&M campus to cheer for the team.
