The 12th Man's record-setting showing vs Samford catches eyes around the nation

Texas A&M football has packed out their home field once again, which is not a surprise when it comes to big games— but this one is against the FCS Samford Bulldogs. The Aggie faithful have filled the house to capacity for a noon kickoff against the worst team on their schedule, proving once more that this is the best fanbase in America.

The Aggies' prodigious attendance immediately caught the eye of anyone watching the game— or, indeed, calling the game, as former Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel (who played for the Tigers at Kyle Field in 2006) is on the call for this one and clearly loved what he's seeing:

Texas A&M football fans prove themselves once again to the nation with massive attendance for FCS game

If you don't believe the words of the former Missouri signal caller, take a look at the video of the stadium down below, captured by Ryan Brauninger of Texags:

To pack out the largest stadium in the state and the conference for a game that normally would not draw that much attention speaks to several things. First, it shows the high level of fan interest and engagement that we are seeing out of the Mike Elko era, and second, it shows just how much love the fans have for this particular iteration of the Aggies.

There's simply no other school in the country that could do this. The Aggies stand alone as the best fanbase in the country, truly earning that designation of the 12th Man that they've had for so long.

With the attendance coming in at 106,519 officially, too, the Aggies have now set a new single-season average attendance record for Kyle Field. The engagement and excitement has been there all season, even for a home slate that was thought of as somewhat light headed into the year by some Aggie fans, and it has paid off now in a massive way.

It's not likely, but if the Aggies got a home playoff game at Kyle this season, fans can only imagine what the environment would be like. This has been a season full of memorable moments, and this one against the lowly Samford Bulldogs is yet another one.
