Thoughts On What The Pro Day Means

Last week A&M held their annual NFL Pro Day. A few seniors and a couple former players performed for the NFL scouts. Jordan Pugh, Jamie McCoy, and Michael Shumard all had standout performances. Pugh ran a 4.4 in the 40 and had a vertical of 40.5 inches. McCoy ran a 4.5 and also had a nice vertical. Shumard showed good athleticism with consecutive 5.0s in the 40. I personally believe that McCoy and Shumard will catch on with NFL teams and stay in the league for a few years. What is most important, is what these results tell us though.

As an Aggie, I have a soft spot for other colleges that practice their traditions. I know the "winning team, losing team" chant is nothing new (Ohio University is featured extensively on youtube doing it, as well as Strake Jesuit HS in Houston), but it is still impressive seeing the USU student section getting into it.
What they are saying in the video:
Is that not a scoreboard?
YES THAT IS A SCOREBOARD!
Is that not a 74?
YES THAT IS A 74!
Is that not a 62?
YES THAT IS A 62!
Is that not the winning team?
YES THAT IS THE WINNING TEAM!
Is that not the losing team?
YES THAT IS THE LOSING TEAM!
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
Hopefully, we won't have to experience this yell on Friday, but it is still an impressive display.

GREAT Article On Ty Warren On ESPN
Ty Warren is forgoing a $250,000 off-season workout bonus with the New England Patriots to come back to A&M and work on his degree in agriculture leadership and development. Basically, he wants his children to be able to look up at him and see someone who has a college degree.
I can't applaud him enough for being a great example to today's youth.

Aggies Are A 'Junk Team'

And that's a compliment.
No. 5 Texas A&M Record: 23-9. The junk team - and that’s a compliment. The Aggies don’t stand out in a number of categories, they struggle to put away lesser teams, and yet they win those games, and hang with the big boys, to boot
I actually found this preview of the South region enjoyable to read, mostly because this writer seems to understand what we are; we aren't anything special, just a bunch of kids who play together as a team, play defense, and play hard. Quite frankly, that makes for a really enjoyable team to watch. The fact that we don't blow anyone out on offense means we have to make every possession count, on offense and defense, which makes our games exciting. Offensive and defensive rebounding are what make our team go, so our play on the boards is an integral part of our game. We are a team that is better than the sum of their parts, and those teams are always fun to watch.
He also thinks that Baylor is overseeded at #3, a sentiment I'm sure is shared by many Aggie fans.
In Philadelphia, they seem to think we're ripe for the upset.
Here we have a 5-12 matchup where the 12 seed is ranked three spots higher in Pomeroy than the 5. A lot of people are wary of Utah State because their only really good non-conference win was at home over BYU, and the WAC isn't that great. Texas A&M beat Clemson and Minnesota on neutral floors and Baylor and Texas at home.
But Utah State is ranked an impressive eighth in effective field goal percentage and Texas A&M is 257th in free throw percentage. That signals upset to me.
The problem with that logic is that we've been a terrible free throw shooting team all season, and managed to win despite that. I'm leery of Utah State vbecause I'm leery of all opponents we face, but I still don't think that makes us a good candidate for a first round upset.

Aggie Women A #2 Seed In Seattle
Coach Blair gets his wish, as our region is headed by #1 seed Stanford. If we do well, it looks like we'll see Xavier in the Sweet Sixteen.

Thoughts On NCAA Tournament Brackets
by Beergut on Mar 15, 2010 4:53 PM CDT

- Although I like our bracket, it appears there is now a rule with the NCAA that the Aggies must play a team from Utah in the first round of the Tournament. After facing BYU in 2008 and again in '09, it is almost comical to be playing Utah State in 2010. The Association just likes watching Texans play Utes, I guess.
- A possible matchup with Purdue in the second round doesn't worry me as much when they are without their best player. If we take care of business against Utah State, and then take care of Purdue, we could be headed to Houston.
- texas being placed as a #8 seed and possibly facing Kentucky in the second round looks about right. For the up-and-down season they had going through the stretch run, it is about what they deserve.
- Whoever said 'cheaters never win, winners never cheat' obviously didn't watch the Baylor Bears. Baylor was rewarded for their disregard of any rules with a #3 seed and a game against Sam Houston State. Yeah, that's punishment.
- Oklahoma State is in an interesting bracket; even if they make it past #10 seed Georgia Tech, they will have to deal with Ohio State in the second round. I like State coach Travis Ford, but I don't see them making the Sweet Sixteen this year.
- Missouri's matchup with Clemson might be the most intriguing first round game among all Big 12 teams. If the Tigers beat the ACC's version of the Tigers, Missouri may face a tough West Virginia squad in the second round. Missouri's weakness is inside, and neither WVU or Clemson have strong post play, so Mizzou should hopefully make a game of it.
- Kansas State has a pretty clear trip to a Sweet Sixteen berth, because North Texas shouldn't be a threat in the first round, and neither Florida nor BYU should give them too much trouble in the second round.
- As the overall #1 seed, Kansas has a pretty clear shot to the second weekend and a Sweet Sixteen berth, with Lehigh going down in the first round, and probably UNLV being a decent opponent in the second, but not enough to derail the Jayhawks. Pencil them into the Sweet Sixteen right now.
