@GuerinEmig 6:28 p.m. Appears #Sooners starting D-line will be Ndulue and Grissom at DE, King and Walker at DT. Grissom's had an interesting year, huh.

 

@GuerinEmig 6:30 p.m. Took snaps on second line with PL Lindley. He'll play plenty, I assume. So will McFarland. RT @ben_woods15: Washington???

 

@GuerinEmig 6:32 p.m. Guess I should stop and watch the Fightin Texas Aggie Band. Might be the last time I see it for a while.

 

@GuerinEmig 6:37 p.m. Sooners DE (from locker room). A&M fans must be dominating. RT @RJWashington2: I need this OU crowd to get louder.

@JohnKleinTW 6:38 p.m. Texas Ags love their band. Second only to Johnny Football in College Station. A&M band about to take field in Cotton pre-game.

 

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:38 p.m. We're about to see the A&M band. Looking forward to this. What I miss most about A&M leaving for the SEC.

 

@MikeSherman 6:38 p.m. RT @davidubben: Texas A&M's going stormtrooper tonight. All white everything. Sooners going traditional white pants, red jerseys/hel ...

 

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:39 p.m. Sooner DE tweeting from the locker room a couple minutes ago. Ummmm RT @RJWashington2 I need this OU crowd to get louder

@Jimmy_Burch 6:42 p.m. RT @TexAgs: Per Billy Liucci, A&M defensive end Julien Obioha is out for tonight's game. Fellow true FR Alonzo Williams to start at ...

@ryaber 6:46 p.m. Worst thing about the Big 12 losing Texas A&M: Not seeing the Aggies' band regularly #Sooners

 

@Jimmy_Burch 6:48 p.m. RT @ATTCottonBowl: The @ATTCottonBowl welcomes The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band back to @CowboysStadium! #attcbc pic.twitter.com/dX6hDuEl

 

@GuerinEmig 6:50 p.m. The JerryWorld jumbotron appears to have a crush on the #Sooners baton twirler.

 

@GuerinEmig 6:51 p.m. And 4-0 in the state of Texas. Crazy. RT @davidubben: Oklahoma: 5-0 vs. the state of Texas in 2012.

 

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:53 p.m. Remember, we're going to have our live game chat launching soon at NewsOK.com/sports. Come join the fun.

 

@stephkuzy 6:56 p.m. Last game of the season or first game of the New Year (however you want to look at it) about to kick. #Sooners #Aggies

 

@Jimmy_Burch 6:56 p.m. #OU is 5-0 vs teams from the state of Texas this yr. Other notables: Ags 0-6 in last six #CottonBowl trips. Ags 0-3 in #CowboysStadium

 

@Jimmy_Burch 6:58 p.m. RT @john_shinn: In OU's last three bowl games, the opposing QB has had a passer rating of 91.15. Manziel enters the Cotton Bowl at 155.85.

 

@ryaber 6:59 p.m. Getting close to kickoff here at Jerry World: Last-minute predictions for #Sooners vs. Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl?

 

@BrentZwerneman 7:00 p.m. Just a small-town, wide-eyed rube checking in, but Cowboys Stadium is a sweet venue for football. Especially when packed like 2nite.

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:00 p.m. #Aggies take the field wearing all white unis: helmets, tops, pants.

 

@BrentZwerneman 7:01 p.m. Julien Obioha will not play because of injury, according to A&M. #mysa

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:01 p.m. #Sooners taking the field now

 

@khairopoulos 7:01 p.m. RT @john_shinn: If it gets hot in here, the Aggies have a huge towel edge.

 

@MikeSherman 7:02 p.m. We'll be writing #Sooners-Texas A&M headlines all night tonight. When it's all over, the best one goes in @TheOklahoman. Make it yours

 

@stephkuzy 7:03 p.m. The view from the booth. pic.twitter.com/RDsdkp8F

 

@MikeSherman 7:03 p.m. #Sooners' Fox Sports pregame video missed a great opportunity to take the "There's Only One" brand national. A&M wins the pregame video

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:03 p.m. #TAMU officially rules out freshman DE Julien Obiha because of an injury. Did not specify injury. But he did not suit up

 

@ryaber 7:03 p.m. RT @skhanjr: A blow to the #Aggies. Per @AggieFootball, true freshman DE Julien Obioha is not dressed and will miss the game with an injury.

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:03 p.m. RT @ATTCottonBowl: The @gatlinbrothers nail the National Anthem! pic.twitter.com/5CDiB9Vm

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:04 p.m. #TAMU 12th Man tonight is DB C.J. Jones

 

@stephkuzy 7:04 p.m. As BT pointed out, the Schooner & the #Sooners coming out of different tunnels works better. R.J. Washington almost ran over Boomer & Sooner

 

@MikeSherman 7:04 p.m. RT @bomani_jones: i'm from texas, but my mother is an ou grad. so i've got a peculiar affection for old renegade oklahoma. that montage ...

@stephkuzy 7:05 p.m. Talked with John McVaney about Stacy crying this game over David King. He said the game may get rained out (even though it's indoors).

 

@BrentZwerneman 7:06 p.m. A&M wins the toss and will receive. Kickoff moments away. #mysa

 

@stephkuzy 7:06 p.m. So how many Oklahoma subscribers did AT&T just lose with that coin flip?

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:07 p.m. #Aggies win toss and will receive kickoff in #CottonBowl

 

@BrentZwerneman 7:07 p.m. RT @TimGriffinBig12: People forget that Landry Jones is 3-0 in bowl games. He can get a little history by winning tonight.

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:07 p.m. RT @TimGriffinBig12: People forget that Landry Jones is 3-0 in bowl games. He can get a little history by winning tonight.

 

@jasonkersey 7:08 p.m. Cotton Bowl is about to get underway. #Sooners kicking off to Texas A&M. We'll get our first look at Johnny Football right away

 

@suzhalliburton 7:08 p.m. Aggies win toss, will receive. Huge crowd at cotton. Judging by waving towels, it's a bigger a&m crowd

 

@khairopoulos 7:09 p.m. Really curious how OC Kliff Kingsbury's departure affects Aggies' offense... we're about to find out here at Cotton Bowl.

 

@MikeSherman 7:10 p.m. RT @RealSkipBayless: Hate to do it but going w/ Johnny Football over my Sooners. D gives up too many big plays and he'll make a bunch.

 

@MikeSherman 7:11 p.m. Geneo Grissom checks in at DE #Sooners

 

@EricBaileyTW 7:11 p.m. #Sooners defense, meet the Heisman winner.

 

@jasonkersey 7:11 p.m. Bob Stoops said sometimes the worst thing you can do is cover everyone against Manziel. Perfect example of it right there #Sooners

 

@MikeSherman 7:12 p.m. Gone in seven seconds. Like Bob Stoops said, sometimes the worst thing you can do is cover everybody #Sooners

 

@stephkuzy 7:13 p.m. Truth: That fast football and my constant basketball score keeping just made for a rough start to my football play-by-play. YIKES!

 

@MikeSherman 7:13 p.m. Dickie V shouting, "Hey Bobby Stoops. You need a T.O.!" Felt like a college basketball strategy, which is fitting. #Sooners

 

@Jimmy_Burch 7:13 p.m. RT @john_shinn: Mike Stoops is lighting into Tony Jefferson then heads over to the defensive line. He's not happy.
