Texas A & M


"EQUIPMENT NIRVANA"
 

 

One of the most well-received and popular helmet groupings that HELMET HUT has produced is the Texas A&M Aggies collection. We already knew this would be the case because the Old Grads poured out of the woodwork to assist the HELMET HUT staff in compiling photos, information about individual players and past seasons, and provided interview insights that made our task enjoyable and much easier than it would have otherwise been. Former thirty-year-plus equipment manager and trainer Billy Pickard made sure that HELMET HUT had the information needed to do things perfectly and provided us with any information that was otherwise in question. The love and devotion to their university that everyone connected to A&M had immediately stood out relative to most other schools.
 
Head Equipment Manager Matt Watson maintains one of the finest rooms in the nation. More than just state-of-the-art football equipment is dispensed by Watson,  assistant Bryan Gossett, and their competent staff. The room, like every other aspect of the Aggie facility, serves as a source of inspiration. With a legacy that includes Paul "Bear" Bryant, Jack Pardee, Gene Stallings, and Heisman Trophy Winner John David Crow, to players still active in the NFL such as Sam Adams, Terrence Kiel, and Steve and Seth McKinney as well as Houston Texan Head Coach Gary Kubiak, A&M remains one of the most prominent and proudest football programs in the nation.
 

 

Mr. Watson has gathered quite a few beautiful A&M game-worn helmets and HELMET HUT presented him and his staff with the entire twelve piece suspension helmet collection that is featured in the COLLEGE section. Each time an Aggie football player walks into their equipment room for any piece of attire or pad, he is immediately reminded of the responsibility he has to uphold the glory and past triumphs of those who have come before him. This is an equipment room that serves many purposes, with motivation and inspiration at the top of the list.
