Quick Shots

Well, I got to watch the Aggies Football team on TV for the second time this year, the first being the Lobo game.  It goes without saying that this was a game of two halves.  Seems to me that the injuries just caught up with us.  Even so, the team seemed to play hard and I see improvement between the games.  Some more depth and talent and the Aggies should be fine.

OK, now some quick shots on soccer, cross country and a couple of other "non-revenue" sports.

Star-divide

The Aggie XC team traveled to Fayettville, AR for the 20th  Chili Pepper Festival.   The 20th ranked Aggie Men came in first (out of 30 teams) with a score of 52, followed by Arkansas with 75.  A&M's Shadrack Songok came in first and all the remaining scoring runners came in the top fifteen.  

The Aggie women came in 7th (out of 30) with Texas Tech finishing 1st  and the sips one spot ahead of the Aggies at 6th.   A look at the results shows that  A&M's #1 and #2 runners were stronger than the sips, but in the critical #3, #4 and #5 spots, the sips runners managed to best the Aggies by about 73 points.    A swing like that demonstrates that the Aggie women need to have some more depth.  

Side Note - At the Pre-Nationals at Indiana State on Saturday.  A banged up  USAF Academy team fell a little short of its goals and daughter was not pleased with her personal performance.  Even so, the race was fast for all and #1 ranked U Dub managed to get 4 runners in the top 10 and its 5th scorer in the top 15 to "run away" with the Blue Race.   Unfortunately, looking at this and other races, the Aggie Women (and the USAF Academy Women) don't have much of a chance to finish very high this season.  Hopefully, they'll both make to Nationals though and use the experience to slowly move up and improve.

Well, the soccer team suffered its first Big XII outscoring this week when they ran out of time against KU.   Looks like the Aggies had more looks, but just couldn't score.  Today they play Mizzou and the captains have called on the 12th Man to show its support.  If you're nearby, get out there and support this excellent winning program. 

Finally, the Maroon & White Softball Series is now tied after the Maroon Team slammed the White Team 12-1.   The final game is Monday at 4:00 pm.  Be there.

I'm out.
