Turgeon Asks Students to Come Back Early, Rewards Them

Put this in the "Will have no effect on the court" file, but I thought it was cool.

Mark Turgeon sent out an e-mail/blog/press release/whatever last week encouraging students to come back from Christmas break a little early and help the Aggies beat Baylor and OU.

Well, tip of the cap to Turgeon. After the victory over Baylor last night, Turgeon sent the players into the stands for the playing of the War Hymn. I thought this was an extremely cool gesture by Coach Turge.

I know it may not see like that big of a deal, but it really makes the students feel special. Thanks for the gesture.

The last time I remember this happening was in the 2005 season after the blowout victory of Bobby Knight and Texas Tech.

Can anyone remember a time more recent?
