Episode Details

Texas A&M is honoring legendary coach R.C. Slocum with a statue outside Kyle Field, set to unveil just before the season opener on September 4th. Slocum, who spent 30 years at the university starting as an assistant in 1972 and leading the team for 14 seasons from 1989, boasts an unmatched record of 123 wins, 47 losses, and 2 ties — including only 12 home losses. His tenure saw five 10-win seasons, four conference titles, and 10 top-20 finishes. As the longest-serving and winningest coach in Aggie history, he’s the first coach to receive this honor, joining only two former players in statue recognition. Beyond coaching, Slocum twice stepped in as interim athletic director and already holds spots in three major Halls of Fame. This statue is a powerful, permanent tribute to a man whose legacy shaped Texas A&M’s football identity.
