Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher says he pulled hamstring running away from Gatorade bath – USA TODAY

No. 5 Texas A&M wrapped up its best season to date under coach Jimbo Fisher with a 41-27 victory against No. 14 North Carolina in the Orange Bowl

After the New Year’s Six bowl game, which marked arguably the biggest win of Fisher’s three-year tenure in College Station, Aggies players excitedly tried to douse Fisher with a traditional postgame Gatorade bath – but the coach wasn’t having it. 

The 55-year-old hilariously sprinted away with surprising agility, staying dry before he went to shake hands with North Carolina coaches. Eventually, with pleasantries with the Tar Heels completed, players caught up to Fisher in the end zone and got an extremely small amount of liquid on the coach.

In the trophy celebration, Fisher cracked that he “hadn’t ran that fast in 25 years” but also said he injured himself running away from the dousing. Fisher said he pulled a hamstring, joking that “somebody in there is going to pay for that.” 

Joining Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter later Saturday night, Fisher confirmed he did pull a hamstring.

“I didn’t pull it bad, but I did pull it,” Fisher told Van Pelt. 

His reasoning for running away from the Gatorade bath? 

“That thing is cold,” Fisher said. “I love it, but I had to go out there and do that post-game and do that bowl thing. That’s freezing cold. I don’t mind it if they get me, but if they don’t, I ain’t getting it. ” 

Fisher said the last time he pulled a hamstring like that was when he was running down the sideline in the fourth quarter of the 2014 BCS national championship game, when Florida State’s Kermit Whitfield returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Auburn.

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher looks to avoid a Gatorade bath after the Aggies' Orange Bowl win against North Carolina.

Texas A&M fans are hoping Saturday night’s win is just the first of many big New Year’s Six wins for Fisher in College Station. He has now won the Orange Bowl three times – two of those coming at Florida State. At FSU, Fisher also won a Peach Bowl (then called the Chik-fil-A Bowl) and the national championship for the 2013 season. 

This Texas A&M team (9-1 overall) is almost certain to finish in the top five and carries significant momentum into 2021. 

“Our goal is to win the national championship. That’s why we came here. That’s what A&M is here for,” Fisher told Van Pelt. “We went 8-1 in the SEC, the best league involved, the best division involved. We know we got work to do when Alabama’s in there, we know Auburn, we know LSU, we know Mississippi, Mississippi State, Arkansas all of them. 

“We can play with anybody. We’re not arrogant, but we’re confident in what we got. We’re recruiting well, and that’s the next step, which we got to take, and tonight was a big step.”

  1. What’s up?

    I found this article very interesting…please read!

    Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.

    It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.

    You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?

    “He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…

    You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!

    …Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).

    To see all the details showing why the Bible foretold of all these things, check out this article!

    GOD is sending out His end time warning:

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.

    He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…

    “In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama

    …but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.

    So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…

    “And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).

    In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.

    Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning

    baraq – Biblical definition:

    From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)

    Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.

    bamah – Biblical definition:

    From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)

    The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.

    Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.

    Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
