Tweetable notes from Johnny Manziel's Heisman Trophy press conference

* Almost didn't think that it was real. Mind boggling to sit and thank that I'm the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.

* To everyone back in Aggieland, I love you...and Gig 'Em, of course.

* Parents have given me every opportunity and I love them. We did it together and wouldn't be possible without them & Aggies.

* So nervous. ESPN does such a great job of creating suspense. Heart was beating out of my chest.

* Doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, if you work hard & have great people around you, great things can happen.

* Don't see A&M as #2 in Texas. A&M is great. Texas is great and they've had success. A lot of things have changed this year.

* Going 10-2 in the ?#SEC? and having a Heisman Trophy winner has changed a lot of things.

* Would like to keep Heisman Trophy right next to my bed, but I'm in college & that might not be great idea. Need solid case.

* Focus now on Cotton Bowl and building toward national championship next year. If individual awards come with that, so be it.

* Everything that we've done this year has had a huge impact. Already seeing that. Hopefully people will want to play with me.

* Didn't mean to look at straw polls or projections, but I stumbled on it quickly at some point this week on Twitter.

* Kingsbury told me no matter what happens, you're my boy & I love you. Sumlin said the same. Looking forward to seeing them.

* Manti and Collin have had a huge impact on college football and have been an inspiration. Truly a joy to get to know them.

* Always wanted to be in fraternity but A&M isn't a real big fraternity school. Now I'm finally in one. It's amazing.

* No barrier anymore when it comes to winning?#Heisman? Trophy. Great group of freshmen this year & it's all there for taking.

* People didn't think that we wouldn't have much success in the ?#SEC? with this offense. Love our offense and it's worked.

* Didn't write speech all by myself. Had things that I wanted to say and had people help me. From bottom of my heart.

* Texas kid at heart and everything happens for a reason. Made a great decision.

* Coaches have given me free reign within the offense. Over course of year, relationship with coaches has grown tremendously.



Quick notes from A&M HC Kevin Sumlin

* Award is so prestigious and now we have two winners at A&M. Tells you how hard it is to win trophy.

* Most prestigious award that there is in college football.



Quick notes from A&M OC Kliff Kingsbury

* This is Johnny's night. Lots of first at A&M this year. New league, new coaches, new system. QB made it all work.

* After Florida game, felt that we could have done a lot more with his legs. Saw it in spring but saw it this fall.

* Never talked about ?#Heisman? during the season. Biggest thing I saw was leadership and growing as a person.

Everyone should watch this.

Sumlin really showed why he is great at leading our program. Trying to put the focus back on Johnny and throwing questions to KK.
