Editor’s note: The Texas A&M baseball team’s run to the College World Series finals, followed by the departure of Jim Schlossnagle and hiring of Michael Earley, is The Eagle’s No. 2 sports story of 2024. This is part of a daily series of the top 10 stories in Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley this year. Stories will appear daily with No. 1 running in the Dec. 31 edition. The Texas A&M baseball team’s run to the College World Series finals and the two weeks that followed was a rollercoaster ride of emotions to say the least. Head coach Jim Schlossnagle’s departure to rival Texas the day after A&M’s loss to Tennessee in the CWS finals almost caused a mass exodus of A&M’s most successful team in school history. But the Aggies' hiring of assistant coach Michael Earley — who originally left Schlossnagle — circled the wagons, kept the roster intact and now has one of the nation’s best teams going into 2025. Hours after the Aggies returned home from Omaha on the heels of a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee in a winner-take-all Game 3 of the championship series, Schlossnagle stunned Aggieland with his departure to Texas. Rumors had swirled of the possibility, but the reality of his decision was a gut-punch and came less than a day after Schlossnagle berated a reporter for asking about his name being linked to the Longhorns’ opening during a postgame press conference. In one of the wildest coaching changes in A&M’s, and possibly college baseball’s history, Schlossnagle explained how leaving Aggieland for Austin was mainly rooted in his friendship with Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, whom he worked with at TCU from 2009-17. “All I can say is: I have a career, too,” Schlossnagle said in his introductory press conference in Austin. “I have a personal life as well that I have goals I just simply felt like, no negative at A&M, just the positives of the alignment and frankly my relationship with Chris. There wasn’t anybody at Texas A&M that I couldn’t trust, I just know that I can trust Chris. I know that. And as hard as that decision was, I could not walk away from it.” Animosity from Aggies about Schlossnagle’s decision was loud. Fans and even players aired their grievances on social media. A&M utility player Travis Chestnut told The Eagle he was treated poorly by Schlossnagle during his tenure with the Aggies. “I’m blown away by the disrespect of Schlossnagle,” Chestnut said. “Not once in my career was he a respectable man to me. I stuck with him because I wanted to be an Aggie and in the SEC. But quite frankly, I didn’t stick to him. I stuck to [assistant coaches] Mike Earley and Nolan Cain.” That animosity turned into a groundswell of support for A&M to hire Earley, the Aggies' hitting coach. A number of current and former A&M players expressed their support for the Aggies to hire Earley. "Nobody more deserving, no more questions need to be asked," A&M first baseman Ted Burton wrote in a social media post. "One of the brightest, young baseball minds out there and a genuine love for his guys. Any player would run through a wall for this man.” A&M athletic director Trev Alberts conducted a full search, which he said included conversations with nine candidates. But after Alberts’ first interview with Earley, he said the assistant coach became a serious candidate. And while player support and respect was a key component to Alberts’ decision, he said Earley’s vision for the program, plan to build a staff and self-awareness of his “blindspots” and solutions for those caught his attention. “I was very, very pleasantly surprised,” Alberts said. “I didn’t know what to expect. I would say that he knocked it out of the ballpark on the initial Zoom.” A week that began with sadness of losing a championship that turned into bitter disgust of Schlossnagle’s decision to leave ended with elation and excitement of where the program could go under Earley. “We got our guy that we wanted,” A&M pitcher Brad Rudis said at Earley’s introductory press conference. “And he’s going to be here to stay for a long time.” That concluded a memorable spring for the Aggies, who won an NCAA regional at Blue Bell Park and then defeated Oregon 2-0 in a best-of-three regional at home that ended with a 15-9, come-from-behind win. The Aggies opened the CWS at Omaha, Nebraska, with a late-night 3-2 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Florida before Ryan Prager's pitching gem against another SEC foe, Kentucky, sent A&M to the semifinals. The pitching staff came through again in a 6-0 win over Florida that sent A&M to its first championship series in school history. Another SEC opponent, top-ranked Tennessee, stood in the Aggies' path in the best-of-3 final. Buoyed by a five-run third inning, the Aggies won Game 1 9-5 before the Volunteers responded by allowing just seven hits in a 4-1 Game 2 victory. Tennessee took a 6-1 lead in the decisive Game 3 before A&M scored twice in the top of the eighth and two more in the ninth to close the gap to 6-5. But the Volunteers held on for their first national championship and set in motion a wild week off the field.

Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.

Let’s see what we got! Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images 10. Serge Gnabry vs Mainz 05 Bundesliga Matchday 25, 2023/24 Goal Scored: 6-1, FT: 8-1 Bayern were not in the best of form in 2023/24, that’s for sure. But they did have some moments of magic, and this was one of them. Leon Goretzka punted the ball upfield from far out, and Serge Gnabry somehow performed a midair backheel with his back to goal to score his side’s sixth goal of the afternoon. If only Bayern’s wingers could be this skilled all the time, right? Wishful thinking, yes, but a guy (or girl) can dream... Photo by Christof Koepsel/Getty Images 9. Michael Olise vs Shakhtar Donetsk UEFA Champions League Matchday 6, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 5-1, FT: 5-1 Bayern were already three goals up and cruising when they visited Gelsenkirchen for their final Champions League match of the year. It was therefore probably no surprise that the Shakhtar defense offered very little resistance as Michael Olise went on a mazy run, passing defender after defender until he reached the goalmouth, where he tapped home an easy finish. It wasn’t the most impressive run ever, but it was still a stylish way to cap off the year’s Champions League campaign. Thomas Müller in particular expressed his approval of the goal. Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images 8. Minjae Kim vs Paris Saint-Germain UEFA Champions League Matchday 5, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 1-0, FT: 1-0 This one is admittedly one with a lot of bias. But still, it was a very important goal, a goal that clinched the win against French champions PSG. If one had told this writer a few years ago that a Korean would start for Bayern in a crunch Champions League game against PSG, let alone score the winner in that game, he would have laughed in his or her face, yet here we are. The goal itself was quite scrappy, as a miscued clearance from the keeper just found Minjae Kim’s head and went in, but every goal counts. What a way to score his first ever Champions League goal. Photo by Lars Baron/Getty Images 7. Jamal Musiala vs Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga Matchday 12, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 1-1, FT: 1-1 Jamal Musiala has grown into quite the clutch man for Bayern Munich in recent years, and this goal was no exception. With Bayern staring a second straight defeat against Dortmund in the face, it was the young starlet that came to the rescue with a pinpoint header that found the bottom corner. Musiala has become very good at headers lately, and this particular one was probably one of his most important, if not the most important, yet. Long may he continue. Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images via Getty Images 6. Thomas Müller vs S.S. Lazio UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg, 2023/24 Goal Scored: 2-0, FT: 3-0 Where would Bayern Munich be without the one and only Thomas Müller? The Bayern legend may be slowly approaching the end of his career, but he is still an invaluable asset to the team, as shown by this goal. With Bayern looking to overturn a deficit against Lazio, Matthijs de Ligt launched a loose ball back into the box, where Müller was waiting to apply the slightest of touches to put the ball beyond the keeper’s reach. A goal that just screamed “Müller,” always in the right place at the right time. Bayern went on to score another and breezed through to the quarterfinals. Photo by Matthias Hangst/Getty Images 5. Harry Kane vs RB Leipzig Bundesliga Matchday 23, 2023/24 Goal Scored: 2-1, FT: 2-1 Spoiler alert: believe it or not, for all the goals that he scored, this is Harry Kane’s only entry on the list. (Shows how useless he is in big games, eh?) With Bayern desperately trying to end a three-game losing streak, they were on track to salvage a 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig...until Kane struck. Eric Dier of all people sent the ball forward to another Eric in Maxim Choupo-Moting, who looped the ball over a defender and right to the feet of Kane, who volleyed the ball into the bottom corner as the clock was creeping towards the first minute of stoppage time. It was definitely Bayern’s most dramatic win of the season. Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Getty Images 4. Jamal Musiala vs St. Pauli Bundesliga Matchday 10, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 1-0, FT: 1-0 It was Bayern’s first game against St. Pauli in well over a decade, as well as their first competitive trip to Hamburg in about seven years. But the game itself wasn’t too exciting, apart from Musiala’s wonder strike. The ball kept switching possession in the space of a few seconds, but Musiala eventually got ahold of it and unleashed a powerful dipping shot that grazed the crossbar, bounced over the line, and up into the top netting. It eventually won Bayern’s Goal of the Month Award for November, and rightfully so. Photo by Sven Hoppe/picture alliance via Getty Images 3. Aleksandar Pavlović vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Bundesliga Matchday 5, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 1-1, FT: 1-1 Poor Aleks Pavlović was not having the best of games against defending champions Leverkusen. Although it had been one way traffic for Bayern all game, the youngster inadvertently gave away a silly corner, which led to Leverkusen’s opener. But the Munich native would soon make up for it in a big way. He caught a cleared ball with his chest and decided to try his luck from 30 yards with a wicked volley that beautifully arched over everyone’s heads and into the top corner. It was reminiscent of the goals that Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso used to score in his playing days. Fingers crossed Pavlović becomes a legend like that for Bayern. Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images 2. Joshua Kimmich vs Arsenal UEFA Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg, 2023/24 Goal Scored: 1-0, FT: 1-0 Bayern Munich were on a mission to reach the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time since they won the whole thing in 2020. Arsenal stood in their way, until Joshua Kimmich of all people decided the game. A lovely ball from Raphaël Guerreiro, who was playing as a winger that day, found Kimmich, who powered a bullet header past David Raya to send the Allianz Arena into rapture, and Bayern into the semifinals. It was the goal that made sure Bayern were playing Champions League football in May for the first time in six years. Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Getty Images 1. Thomas Müller vs SC Freiburg Bundesliga Matchday 2, 2024/25 Goal Scored: 2-0, FT: 2-0 Ah, Thomas Müller. A player that embodies Bayern Munich itself. He became Bayern Munich’s record appearance maker in this game, and of course, he had to celebrate the occasion with a goal. Serge Gnabry sent the ball into the box, where Müller took it down with a deft touch, swiftly switched it onto his other foot, and half-volleyed it right into the roof of the net. It was such a special occasion, and it could not have been more perfect. You know things are special when even Manuel Neuer raced all the way upfield to celebrate the goal. Is Thomas Müller the greatest ever player to play for Bayern? Franz Beckenbauer might have something to say about that, but one thing is for sure: he will remain a Bayern icon forever and ever. So there you have it! Which goals did we miss? Which one was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
