That’s what sports are all about, and provided an awesome moment those players won’t soon forget. Did you hear the crowd when that initial hit came? That’s special.
Robinson agrees. He was asked about the formation on Monday at Texas A&M’s weekly press conference.
Here’s what he had to say:

“Those guys had the time of their lives… To watch them celebrate, that was special.”
