So long, Aggies
On Saturday, Oklahoman photographer Nate Billings and I traveled to College Station to document what could be Oklahoma State’s last contest against Texas A&M. I produced an audio slide show from our photos and audio I collected during the game.

Here’s a note from Nate Billings about his final trip to Texas A&M for Big 12 football coverage:
It’s a little sad for me to think that I will probably not cover another game at College Station because the Aggies are headed to the SEC. Texas A&M is where I covered my first college football game outside of Oklahoma, 13 years ago, and it is where I have covered the most road games since. I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere and people in Aggieland. This trip was Sarah’s first time there. I’m glad she had a chance to experience a game at Kyle Field before the Aggies leave the Big 12.

A&M has an incredible atmoshpere and a very good team. We will certainly miss that in the Big 12.
