"My mom worked here forever. Oh god this is crazy, um, I got two degrees from here, I work here, my daughter is going to be class of 2042, and it’s just the best place to be," Erika said.Β 

Sims then turned to Kyle to talk about the game.

"Now Kyle, big, big deal, game tonight. Huge rivalry, how do you feel about y’all playing Texas tonight?"

Kyle then used Sims’ question as a transition into his own.Β

"You know that’s a fantastic question, but I have a better question," Kyle said.

"Erika, will you marry me?" Kyle asked, pulling a ring out of his pocket and getting down on one knee.

Erika, astonished, said yes as the newly engaged couple embraced as the Texas A&M crowd roared in support of the proposal as confetti popped off.

Nick Saban also gave the couple some advice about being married.Β 

"Well, we’re going on 53 years, so we have coffee cups, Ms. Terry bought us coffee cups. My coffee cup says Mr. Right, which I said, β€˜That sounds good.’ But then her coffee cup says Mrs. Never Wrong."

While the day is already unforgettable for Kyle and Erika, they hope their Aggies can put the cherry on top by taking down their bitter rival and securing a spot in the SEC Championship game with a win.

Unranked Auburn upsets CFP-hopeful Texas A&M in 4 OT thriller after game-tying score is dropped

After lots of upsets throughout college football on Saturday, Texas A&M, ranked 15th in the country, had a chance to sneak into the next College Football Playoff bracket projection.

But they fell to unranked Auburn, 43-41, in an instant classic that took four overtimes to complete.

Auburn had taken a 43-35 lead to begin the fourth overtime, as Payton Thorne hit KeAndre Lambert-Smith for a two-point play.

With the teams both getting one play to score from the 3, Texas A&M turned to trickery on its attempt to send it to a fifth OT. Receiver Terry Bussey took the direct snap and handed off to quarterback Marcel Reed. Reed's pass to Amari Daniels was dropped in the end zone.

The Aggies (8-3, 5-2), who had rallied from a 21-0 first-half deficit, suffered the fate of two other SEC playoff hopefuls. Florida had already upended No. 9 Mississippi’s playoff and SEC title hopes with a 24-17 upset, and No. 7 Alabama fell 24-3 at Oklahoma.

The Tigers (5-6, 2-5 SEC) became the day’s latest unranked league team to play spoiler. Fans who have endured a disappointing season stormed the field and filled it from end zone to end zone but did leave the goalposts alone.

"This one's certainly going to hurt, and we're obviously extremely disappointed," Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said. "We had ourselves in a really good position. Obviously with who we play and what we're playing for, there's still going to be a lot of energy going into that stadium next week."

Thorne passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns to Cam Coleman. Jarquez Hunter ran 28 times for 130 yards and three scores. Coleman had seven catches for 128 yards, and Lambert-Smith had two for 104.

With five top-15 teams losing on Saturday, three of them being SEC teams, there could be a major shakeup in the rankings this week - the new bracket projection will come out on Tuesday.

The Aggies can still make the SEC title game – but they do face No. 3 Texas next week.
