We WON?
Today some team showed up and played in Texas A&M’s jerseys. I mean, they sure did look like the players’ faces we’ve seen all year, but they did NOT play like they’ve played all year… they played so much better. I knew today I wanted to blog about this, win or lose, but I am pleasantly surprised AND thrilled.
In case you haven’t heard, Texas A&M beat Texas University, 38-30. The Aggies led the entire game. This is our first time to win against Texas back-to-back since ‘93-’94. I actually went to the 1994 game in Austin, when we beat Texas 34-10. We sat in the end zone. It was wonderful. But today’s win was heroic… I started to wonder if we should have played Texas earlier in the season? My dad thinks maybe we should have played Texas every week in conference play!
Did anyone watch this game on ABC? I was so annoyed by the commentators. They were all singing the praises of the Texas team and the Texas coaches and the Texas quarterback and the Texas receivers. GO AWAY! Who’s winning the football game? They all said how Texas was a 4th quarter team and how Texas could easily come back and win the football game. WE KNOW WHO YOU’RE ROOTING FOR! You now have to eat your words.
If you go to aggieathletics.com, you’ll see the front page headline is of Coach Fran and his resignation. I wish more people would look at how positive this win is for our program, rather than finding a new head coach and ousting the old one. Even ABC’s Jack Arute, who interviewed Fran on tv was pretty rude; even before his resignation was official, Jack said, “Coach, was that your last game on this sideline?” I liked Fran’s response, “Let’s just focus on this game and enjoy it.” So Jack pushes, “What do these players mean to you?” Fran: “A lot.” Then Fran walked away.
Our record stinks and so did our coaching staff, but who cares? WE BEAT TEXAS! Go and brand Bevo, 38-30!
