USU vs NMSU

WOW, what a game! I thought for sure that the Aggies were going to be able to pull it off. I had for the last 5 minutes of the game a glimmer of hope. Probably the only one in all of Aggie nation who believed they could pull it off. I have read a lot of posts on forums and blogs about the game and it makes me sick to read them. I am so frustrated with Aggie basketball fans, they will support their team if they are perfect and never loose. I mean look at last year 30-5 record, you can't do that every year. It pains me to see that people who you thought would be an Aggie through and through, but then throw in the towel when they loose a game. In reality every game the Aggies have lost it has only been by 3 or less points, excluding the Long Beach State embarrassment. The Aggies are a very talented team. Last night on the pre-game show with Al Lewis, he was talking about the stats for each team in the WAC. The Aggies as a team are first in many of the statistical categories, but not one individual player on the Aggie roster is first in a statistic category. To me that shows this is a Basketball Team not an organization with All- Stars.

All right enough with that! That was a little much. So the game last night was sad, painful, depressing but I have have decided to look at the positives from this game. The Aggies from up north held the Aggies from down south for the last 5 minutes of the game. They played amazing defense and got stops because of it. Which in turn resulted in getting with in one point in the end. The Aggies were down 11 just a few minutes before that. They didn't give up, they fought through and made it a game. The only thing they lacked in the end was the intensity to finish the game and not just loose by 2 or three. They have had the chance so many times this year to win close games but just haven't had quite enough to make it.

The Aggies lost. Take it as it is or choose to be a fan of an other school. Yes, fans like to cheer for winning teams, but we are Aggie Fans, we are different.

GO AGGIES!
