No matches yet.
Mostly Aggies, Mavericks, Stars, and Cowboys. Mostly heartbreak.
I’ve noticed an increase in traffic to this blog lately because people are finding my post from last November where I say that “Coach Fran Must Go!“ In fact, if you enter those words into Google, you’ll find that post...
And you thought I only followed basketball and football, eh? Mostly true. Baseball had its time for me, but its too boring to watch when there are other options. But that doesn’t mean I can’t take pride as an Aggie...
Aggies at the Beach I wish I could say that I staged this, but I would not be honest in saying so. The only silver lining here is that I discovered my error before actually sitting down.
I’m still mourning the narrow loss to Memphis last night — a one point loss where the Aggies looked like they were in a great position to win the game. So while I puzzle on the free throw and foul...
First, I have to give props to Texas Tech for beating A&M this week. I have picked on them all year, so its quite galling to me that they are 2-0 against my Aggies. All I can hope for is...
In a 48 hour stretch, A&M made its first appearances on ESPN in over 25 years. In the first match on Saturday night, A&M became the first Big XII South team to defeat Kansas at Phog Allen (their arena). Then...
There’s not much you can do when a team hits 55% on their 3-point shots. Couple that with a poor free throw shooting night and you have a road loss against Texas Tech and Bobby Knight. It seems every time...
Its a great time to be an Aggie alum. The football team earned a spot in the Sun Bowl on December 28th against California. By my estimation, that’s a much better Bowl Game than Texas received. Texas gets to drive...
The six year losing streak ends at Austin. Varsity’s horns are sawed off…and this delights me to no end. Who should get the better bowl game? Each team is 9-3 with the Aggies holding the head-to-head edge. I’m unsure whether two...
Its mere minutes after the Aggies 28-27 loss to Nebraska, so my emotions are still very raw. But I think I will read what I am about to write tomorrow or the next day and feel the same way. Coach...
I just stumbled across an interesting post detailing some of the calls that went for Dwyane Wade in Game 6. Its interesting to watch these a few days removed from the event. You can see them here. Seeing them again...
What a storied series this has become! And unfortunately, the lead story tonight is only partially what happens on the floor. I must say that I’m disappointed in the organization as it misbehaves in front of all to see. Both...
Since I defended against the San Antonio conspiracy theory, I cannot play the conspiracy card for the Mavericks as an explanation for their loss tonight. But I can certainly question several of the foul calls. At the very least, the...
99-85 and it wasn’t even that close. Garbage time began in the 3rd period after the Mavs rolled out to a 28 point lead. They attacked in waves. The referee conspirators meanwhile called 27 fouls on the Mavericks and only...
It was suggested to me either seriously or in jest today that the Dallas Mavericks made the NBA Finals this year to accommodate the NBA’s need to restore big market teams into their premier event. In short, talent and superior...
Timing and bad weather have enabled me to see much of the Mavs-Spurs series and so today I was lucky enough to see the second half of Game 7. It seems the only time my blood pressure has really elevated...
Last week, the Aggies lose by a point to LSU. This week LSU beats Duke by 8. So by the transitive property of math, A&M would have beaten Duke by 7 tonight. Seriously, I do think A&M’s tenacious defense would...
Billy Gillispie brought the team to the arena today to watch the entire day’s schedule of games. The first game started at 11am CST and the Aggies finally took the court at 9pm CST. The intent was obviously to give...
This means nothing to my few readers, but I must give public props to my school for the improvement they’ve made in their basketball programs. Its a meteoric rise, if you will. First the men. I have waited almost 20...
As I prepared to watch the Rose Bowl, I puzzled over who to pull for. As an Aggie, there are almost no cases where you’d ever pull for tu. Yes, its tu. Aggies don’t give them credit for being "the...
For those who sent email to me or mentioned it in conversation, the mystery of the Texas A&M Bookstore with the plywood applied inside (for hurricane preparation) is solved. And so it appears we Aggies aren’t as dumb as we...
One quick sports prediction here. The NHL opens its season this week with a fresh set of rules designed to increase scoring — it basically looks like basketball on ice to me. The number of power plays was up significantly...
Last night I had the opportunity to watch (on TV) my first hockey game in 17 months. It was the Dallas Stars versus the Edmonton Oilers. All in all, I enjoyed it but I found that the game I remembered...
Two NASCAR entries in less than a week will do a lot to repulse the few readers that I have. However, I wanted to write a quick follow-on entry since I realized my favorite race is coming up. NASCAR goes...
Anyone else out there bored with the Olympics? Its pretty sad when you can say that you only enjoy the Olympics because it gives Google an opportunity to change their logo each day. I will admit that I’ve watched little...
Yeah, I admit it, I like NASCAR. I don’t admit this often because of the stereotype that the sport historically has had. But things are changing. And before you check out of this post, read another paragraph and see if...
Yesterday, Carolina beat St. Louis 29-23 in two overtimes. Both teams had missed field goals in each OT. And St. Louis played conservatively in kicking a field goal to tie the game at the end of regulation. They had enough...
I was at the Dallas Stars vs. Atlanta Thrashers hockey game last night with a couple of friends. That’s nothing unusual and I’ve been to hundreds of games. But what did strike me as funny is that some clever marketing/entertainment...
In my ear today were Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls), and Chris Martin (Coldplay) on my road trip from Dallas to San Antonio to see my parents for Christmas. But what I really needed in my...
