Count 'Em

I know it's reaching the upper limit of your counting ability Miner fans. You just never knew what all those other fingers were for, but I think you all can manage.




Two in a row!

More after the jump

It was a great atmosphere in El Paso. UTEP co-eds are vur nice. Very loud in the Sun Bowl at times, but for the most part cool fans. Except one fat ass I'd have to say I was the next unruliest fan. Which isn't saying a lot, although I know a couple of people probably think different. I'll try to behave better next week.

MADNESS!!!

It's March baby! You know what that means? Well, besides time for my monthly post -- Note: If you consider February a month, you're a douche bag. Even at its' best it is only 29 days long. It's not a real month people! Much like Smarch (lousy weather). But I digress...What March really means is that I have a constant hard-on for some college hoops, and the only cure is some hot sweaty tournament action. And in less than a week, I'll buried to the hilt in euphoria.

More after the jump.

Starting the 11th, the madness that is March basketball invades my humble little town of Las Cruces. The WAC tournament kicks off, kinda.

The first day of the tourney is just the play-in game. Thats when the 8 and 9 seeds, AKA: the two shittiest teams of the conference, fall over themselves (literally), for the chance to get blown out by the number one seed in the quarterfinals.

Thursday afternoon is when the fun really starts. I actually convinced one of my teachers to cancel class so I could attend all the mens quarterfinal games guilt free. I think I'm gonna be rubbed raw by the end of the day. The anticipation is killing me.

I'm Back

I was too lazy decided not to write during my winter break. Though if you know my screen name at Crimson Storm, you know thats not entirely true. However, school is back in session, and I expect my postings to increase expontetially.
Not hard when posting reaches a stand still, I know.

Besides it's not like anything noteworthy happened between my trip to Albuquerque and now...

*Passos and Carter Suspended
*Pope arrested for DUI
*Aggies first 3 game winning streak of the season
*Jahmar "I Didn't Take IT Out for Air" Young strikes out with the ladies
*Chris "Fat Cat" Cole forgot his license on his second trip to McDonalds
*It should be mentioned these two were later arrested due to bench warrants regarding these offenses.
*Jahmar Young strikes back -- Scores 33 points against Boise State (*Speculation* Probably doesn't have trouble with the ladies anymore)
*Pope deemed eligible by the omnipotent NCAA Clearinghouse
*Pope promptly suspended one game
*Pope set to play first game against LA Tech
*Passos also coming back into the lineup
*WAC "demands" refs call technical fouls against vulgar chants. Goodbye Nice Shot, Asshole?


...Yup, nothing to see here. Move it along folks -- I said MOVE it.

Aggies Go for the SAH-WEEEEP

I'm about to hit the road for the rematch between NMSU vs. unm. The lead for the Rio Grande Rivarly at stake.

Very excited for my first venture out to the vaunted Pit. However, you silly loobs, just remember: the whole reason your arena is world famous has nothing to do with your team, university, or program. Lets remember the real reason why it's so highly thought of;

Best video I could find of the historic 1983 National Championship game as I'm pressed for time.

I'm off. As always I'll have a game recap a week or so after the fact.

GO AGGIES!

To Believe, or Not to Believe?

If anybody follows Teddy Feinberg's blog closely, you'll have seen a couple of comments of grave concern regarding the Herb Pope saga. (If you aren't familiar with the story ... where you been?)

The first one states:

Anonymous said... So I hear Pope is leaving L.C. He is fed up with waiting and he no longer has an interest in playing for Mr. Menzies...

An innocuous statement coming from anonymous, but Feinberg (or was it Jason Groves) gives this comment some validity. By stating this:

I honestly don't think Herb is going to play here. I've heard different rumors, nothing concrete. I just think that the system should not work this way and that something isn't right. I know that's not what Aggie fans want to hear, but you're just getting my gut feeling, nothing more, nothing less. Sorry....

The statement is vague, and relies on "gut feeling". But if that is what we should base it on, why not talk more about the rumors? I understand the ethics behind journalism, and how explicitly stating such comments, without anything "concrete", would be shoddy work.

That's reasonable.

However, he implies numerous sources by using the phrase "different rumors".

That's troubling, despite the consistency of the cement. The very fact he states this publicly, should be the greatest cause for concern.

Woe is NMSU.

Hey Schools Over. Here's Week Old News

I was suppose to give a recap, so here it is: We killed the loobs, despite anything you may have heard. The last ten minutes were never close, and Toppert was their only source of offense. Rio Grande Rivarly is knotted up at 4.5-4.5. Important games pending in this series.

Swept by jutep. Oh well. My poo still looks better than their ugly orange, and we beat them in football.

Loobs in Town Tonight

First off, hats off to the Lady Aggies. They ended a ridicously long losing streak against the Lady Loobs this past weekend. They, also, picked up some much needed points in the Rio Grande Rivarly, and took the gorilla off their back. Tonight though matches up the men for their 199th meeting, and let me tell you ... I'm very excited.

I expect the students to be loud and raucous. I also expect a lot of them. For those who show up there is a sixth man gameplan being distributed. I like it and hope people partcipate. It should be a lot of fun.

A recap coming after the game.

In the mean time, enjoy this -- poorly lit -- video from lasts years thumping of UNM.
