2013 Tel Aviv mayoral election, Campaigning
The characteristic which was seen as most distinguishing Aharon Maduel, the nominee of the City of All ("Ir Lekulanu") party, in the race was his status as a Sephardi Jew. Yitzhak Laor wrote a piece in Haaretz endorsing Maduel as who he believed would be the best choice for the city's left-wing to vote for. Maduel, however, was seen by some as splitting the vote of the city's more left-wing voters, harming the prospects of Horowitz.

The race partially focused on discontent among the middle class. Horowitz attempted to capitalize off of these sentiments by criticizing Huldai as having focused on enhancing the lives of the wealthy, while ignoring the needs of poor and middle class residents.

The 2013 season featured the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide playing at Kyle Field in what was CBS' first game from that venue since 1989.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Previous season
In 2012, Texas A&M played their first season in the SEC. They started out unranked and lost their opener to No. 24 Florida. However, the Aggies bounced back and went on a five-game win streak, including victories over two SEC West teams – Arkansas and Ole Miss – and a win over No. 23 Louisiana Tech. They fell to No. 6 LSU in a close home game before winning their final five regular-season games, highlighted by an upset victory over the defending national champion, No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Spring practice
Spring practice began on March 1 and ended with the annual Maroon and White game on April 13, which was televised nationally on ESPN. It also included an open scrimmage on March 23 and the Friday Night Lights game on April 5. A few key players were out with injuries: junior WR Malcome Kennedy, senior LB Steven Jenkins, sophomore DE Julien Obioha, and senior DL Kirby Ennis.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Spring practice
Throughout the spring, A&M saw great play out of its receivers (especially Mike Evans), the offensive line, led by senior LT Jake Matthews, and quarterbacks group, led by the all-star talent of Johnny Manziel. The running backs group looked loaded with talent and depth (including senior Ben Malena and sophomores Trey Williams, Tra Carson, and Brandon Williams) and looked to be a position of strength for the Aggies as well. The defensive backfield also seemed to have a few playmakers in CB Deshazor Everett and S Floyd Raven Sr.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Spring practice
The linebacking corps, however, showed a lack of depth, especially without Senior Steven Jenkins, and was projected as an area of concern for the Aggies in the coming season. Another area of potential issue for A&M was the defensive line, as there was little depth (compounded by injuries) and a thus much riding on incoming freshmen that couldn't practice in the spring.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Spring practice
In the Maroon and White game, the Maroon (offense) prevailed over the White (defense) 43–23. For the quarterbacks, Manziel went 23-of-30 for 303 yards and three touchdowns, Matt Joeckel went 8-of-21 for 88 yards, and Matt Davis went 7-of-12 for 112 yards. Ben Malena played little (only 3 carries for 12 yards), so the team was led by sophomores Brandon Williams (7 for 59 yards and 1 TD) and Trey Williams (7 for 67 yards and 1 TD).


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Before the season, Spring practice
Mike Evans had a solid game receiving with 5 catches for 73 yards, as did Derel Walker (5 for 79 yards and 1 TD) and LaKendrick Williams (7 for 105 yards). As for the defense, sacks were made by Nate Askew, Tyrone Taylor, Jordan Points, and Tyrell Taylor (who had 2).

Sophomore (RS) RB Tra Carson would run the ball in a few plays later to tie the game. Despite a 22-yard run from Ross on Rice's following drive, the Owls were forced to punt, due to a tackle for a loss by true freshman and future star LB Darian Claiborne on 3rd down. Only a few plays into the Aggies’ next outing, Joeckel hit Freshman receiver Ricky Seals-Jones for a 71-yard TD and the lead.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Game summaries, Rice
Afterwards, A&M forced Rice to punt once again and then added to their lead with another TD by Carson on a steady drive. With 3:42 left in the half, Rice went on a strong drive including 2 great passes by McHargue to Junior WR Jordan Taylor, one for 27 yards and the other for a 5-yard TD after the ball was deflected by Senior CB Toney Hurd Jr. The score was 28–21 Texas A&M at halftime, after which star Aggie QB Johnny Manziel would return.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Game summaries, Rice
Rice received the 2nd half kickoff and had 2 incompletions before McHargue was intercepted by Junior CB Tramain Jacobs, starting Manziel's return to college football. The Sophomore's first play of 2013 was a 12-yard scramble; however, he was sacked just 2 plays later, forcing A&M to take the 44-yard Field Goal. Rice's ensuing drive did not turn out any better than its predecessor, as Junior (RS) S Clay Honeycutt grabbed A&M's second interception of the game. This time, Manziel was able to take the team to the endzone on a 23-yard toss to Evans for the TD.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Game summaries, Rice
The teams traded punts before Rice went on a nearly 6 minute drive to end the half at A&M's 1-yard line. On the first play of the 4th Quarter, Ross carried the Owls into the endzone to make the score 28–38. However, A&M's offense had hit its rhythm and Manziel notched a 34-yard pass to Junior (RS) receiver Malcome Kennedy before hitting Malena out of the backfield for 18 yards and the TD. Down by 17, Rice was feeling the pressure on their next drive.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Game summaries, Rice
After gaining a few yards, the Owls went for it on 4th down, where true Freshman DT Jay Arnold pushed through the line and forced Ross right into Junior DE Tyrell Taylor, where he was tackled for a loss. With a short field, A&M scored quickly via another TD pass to Evans for 9 yards. With little hope of winning the game, Rice put in Sophomore QB Driphus Jackson, who led the team on a long drive capped off by a 43-yard FG. A&M simply ran out the clock with 2:03 left in the game.


2013 Texas A&M Aggies football team, Game summaries, Rice
Texas A&M won its season opener, and the star Manziel looked as good as ever, going 6-of-8 for 94 yards and three touchdowns; however, Rice ran for 306 yards, averaging 6 yards-per-carry, which hinted at the defensive issues (particularly in the running game) that would haunt A&M for the rest of the season.
