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.

Did You Know?

Basketball season started about 3 weeks ago. However, I barely woke up from my coma, which was induced by the disappointing football season. Quick recap of what happened so far after the jump.

Lost to Ohio. A game we should have won, but it was the first game of the season. No biggy.

Lost to Duke. I fucking HATE Duke. They suck, but not at basketball.

Beat UC-Davis and LeMoyne Owens. Broke the seal. Crowds were lacking.

Lost to Texas. I thought we competed fairly well after a slow start. Which I think is impressive considering Texas just knocked UCLA off their #1 pedestal.

Lost to West Virginia. We ran out of gas in the second half. Winnable game slips through the cracks.

Lost to pinche UTEP. An early Christmas gift for the Miners; gift wrapped in white and black.

Beat Chicago State. Aggies looked good in this one.

Lost to North Texas. Terrible loss. You cannot blow a 21 point lead to anybody playing at home. Just a lack of poise, and poor execution.

That's a record of 3-6 for you math majors out there. Not the way most fans expected to start the season. Thanks to the NCAA Clearinghouse we are without our star recruit Herb Pope. Also missing because of the Clearinghouse Jamhar Young, a threat from the outside.

I still have high expectations for this team, but any thought of going deep into the NCAA's will be put on hold.
