It is bad when a ranked Aggie basketball team loses to an unranked team in a virtual home game in Houston, as the Ags did when they fell 84-81 to New Mexico Saturday evening. It is even worse when both basketball teams fall, as the fifth-ranked women's team was upset by unranked TCU. Not a good day for Aggie basketball.
Mark Ingram's selection as the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner shows that when there isn't an overwhelming favorite for the award, the voters will revert to choosing the best player on what is ostensibly the best team. It is hard to believe Ingram is the best player in the nation when he isn't even the best player at his position.
texas fans may be scrambling to use what they view as Colt McCoy's Heisman snub as another comparison to the 2005 national champion team. The difference is, McCoy has been shut down several times this season, while Vince Young only had one bad game in 2005. McCoy isn't the same kind of physical freak that you feared to play against because of what he could do on the field as Young is, so there really is no worry about him getting 'revenge'. It would be similar to Chris Simms' infamous 'list'.

There's something spiritual about baseball — like Mother Nature," Garrido said. "You don't mess with it. And I think before a player can really believe in it, he has to experience it."
