Texas A&M not only stunned the nation with their win over the South Carolina Gamecocks, they also stunned the Ashley Furniture Branch. The store offered all furniture purchased between August 16th through 27th for costless if the Aggies beat South Carolina by at least 10 points. 

The Aggie fans spent nearly 1 million dollars in that span of time and one fan spent almost 20,000 dollars.

"We've wanted to do this for three or four years now," said Mark Wilks, whose store is an official sponsor of Aggies athletics. "This was really good for us."

The furniture store won't be going out of business thanks to fact that Wilks took out insurance. He says he'll pay the insurance company roughly 15 percent of the total that they will reimburse to customers.

Wilks said, "We're going to have a big check-writing party at the store."

Texas A&M defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks 52-28 in a game highlighted by Kenny Hill. Hill threw for 511 yards and 3 touchdowns in the first game after Johnny Manziel.
