USU vs Hawaii and USU vs Nevada

Aggies opened up WAC play at home with a dominating win over Hawaii 98-54. Those 98 points were the most I think I have ever seen scored in the spectrum by the Aggies. It was something else. People around me were hoping that the Aggies would get up by 50, then towards the end they were hoping that we would score 100. Neither happened but it was a fun win. Some games when the Ags are up by so many can be really boring and not fun, but not this one. It was fantastic, loud and a lot of fun. I am very happy with the performance of the Aggies.

Wednesday brought a really tough test versus the Nevada Wolf pack. I knew going into this game it was going to be tough. The Aggies really haven't proved themselves on the road this season. That all changed when the Aggies came into the game and fought long and hard for a Over Time victory against UNR. The Aggies in this game came from a 10 point deficit, and won the game by 7 in over time. When the Aggies went down by 10 I was so close to turning off the radio and going to bed. But then I decided to stick it out. I am guessing nothing happened of note during the 5 minutes that I forgot to open my eyes up after blinking, or else I would have heard Al Lewis screaming on the radio. I did however wake up when the Aggies were in the middle of their 11-0 run they made in the final minutes of regulation. Al was getting very excited and was pretty crazy. The next thing I knew was that the Aggies were up by one with 2 minutes left. I then shot up from my bed and sat there waiting and wishing for the win. I sat on my bed and listened to the Aggies hang on and then go into overtime. It was so scary and intense. But they cam out in overtime and didn't let up on the intensity.

The Aggies play at home against Boise State(0-5 WAC record). Lets go Aggies!
