Head Coach Mike Sherman, the Aggie Football team and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band will be at a special Yell Practice tonight at 6 p.m. on Kyle Field. Raffle tickets will be given to the first 20,000 students to arrive, and four Aggies will be given an all-expense paid trip with the football team over the weekend.

"They'll get to see how that whole process works - watching the coaching staff and seeing how get the team excited and give the team all the tools they need to get them to victory," said Student Body President Kolin Loveless.

Winners will travel with the team for its away game in Arlington against Arkansas, walk through the Cowboys Stadium, and sit on the sidelines with players during the game.

"This is probably the only time we're going to do something like this," said Head Yell Leader Casey Schaefer. "This is a really big game for us - we're 3-0 right now. We're trying to make this a big weekend - get behind the team, get them motivated and get them to come home with a win."

The gates will open at 5 p.m. at the northeast and southeast entrances. Only currently enrolled students will be eligible. All students must bring their student IDs. Purses, bags and backpacks will not be allowed in. Check facebook.com/tamu for further details.
