Super Bowl tussle: Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said he defended true ’12th Man'; other nuggets from Houston Coach’s Night

Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin on Sunday night appeared primed for this season’s kickoff – here in mid-July.

A feisty Sumlin offered his annual speech at Houston Coach’s Night in NRG Center, put on by the Houston A&M Club to raise money for scholarships. A handful of highlights and (perhaps) good-natured low blows:

* Sumlin said he “got into it a little bit” with a Seattle Seahawks fan at the Super Bowl “who didn’t recognize me, which was kind of cool” about which entity had the true 12th Man.
“I got to say what I wanted,” Sumlin said of the fan not knowing who he was.
