Guru, I thought the same thing.
Also thought that, while the win/loss record looks pretty good, those 'trucker caps' certainly don't.

Weatherman has been predicting bad storms today, probably kept the fans from out of town away, attendance was way down compared to Friday and Sat.

Holy cow. I'm not too terribly excited about our series. It might be a long weekend. Also, I think it might be the deciding factor in our ever-so-important Lonestar State Showdown.
If they continue to do well, they should be a top 8 seed. As of now, Iowa State has more wins in Omaha than them. This streak must remain.

Are they as good this year as they were in 1989 when they lost 2 to LSU and failed to advance to Omaha (as per their norm)?

It hurts beyond words to say this, but it looks like they are Big 12 champs this season. We'd have to sweep them at home (and we'll do well to win two games), and then win two of three at Mizzou (sucks) to win the title.
It sucks because I wanted the Big 12 title badly, and it will hurt to lose it to those goobers. That said, here's to us being in Omaha and them coming up short.

No excuses, they are getting the job done this year, and the Horns are not.

Having A&M in Omaha will ruin my annual CWS trip.
Please don't let this happen.

IMO this will depend on whether or not they get a top 8 and who they get paired with. The Ags are vulnerable to teams with good arms. If they get paired with Rice like last year they will not be in Omaha. If they win out, they should get a top 8 along with Rice and thus avoid another in state super collapse. Unless of course, the NCAA sends them another team with a solid staff and then I'm betting on the other team.

1. Grammar Police, you read the sentence wrong, try again. The phrase is correct.
2. The comment was directed towards a HuskerFan and I will stang by what was posted. There are plenty of reasons to not like the Aggies, but I do not see the compelling reason in his post. (He was treated poorly in College Station by Aggies, Aggies acted like idiots in Lincoln, Aggies acted like idiots on the Husker boards, The Aggies tracked cow manure into his house, but no he will not root for them because they have a scoreboard for a dead dog and they have a corps of cadets, etc. weak.)

As an ag, I totally agree. Stupid fake army. I mean read about some of these dbags:
Thomas Fowler
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty, on 23 May 1944, in the vicinity of Carano, Italy. In the midst of a full-scale armored-infantry attack, 2d Lt. Fowler, while on foot, came upon 2 completely disorganized infantry platoons held up in their advance by an enemy minefield. Although a tank officer, he immediately reorganized the infantry. He then made a personal reconnaissance through the minefield, clearing a path as he went, by lifting the antipersonnel mines out of the ground with his hands. After he had gone through the 75-yard belt of deadly explosives, he returned to the infantry and led them through the minefield, a squad at a time. As they deployed, 2d Lt. Fowler, despite small arms fire and the constant danger of antipersonnel mines, made a reconnaissance into enemy territory in search of a route to continue the advance. He then returned through the minefield and, on foot, he led the tanks through the mines into a position from which they could best support the infantry. Acting as scout 300 yards in front of the infantry, he led the 2 platoons forward until he had gained his objective, where he came upon several dug-in enemy infantrymen. Having taken them by surprise, 2d Lt. Fowler dragged them out of their foxholes and sent them to the rear; twice, when they resisted, he threw hand grenades into their dugouts. Realizing that a dangerous gap existed between his company and the unit to his right, 2d Lt. Fowler decided to continue his advance until the gap was filled. He reconnoitered to his front, brought the infantry into position where they dug in and, under heavy mortar and small arms fire, brought his tanks forward. A few minutes later, the enemy began an armored counterattack. Several Mark Vl tanks fired their cannons directly on 2d Lt. Fowler's position. One of his tanks was set afire. With utter disregard for his own life, with shells bursting near him, he ran directly into the enemy tank fire to reach the burning vehicle. For a half-hour, under intense strafing from the advancing tanks, although all other elements had withdrawn, he remained in his forward position, attempting to save the lives of the wounded tank crew. Only when the enemy tanks had almost overrun him, did he withdraw a short distance where he personally rendered first aid to 9 wounded infantrymen in the midst of the relentless incoming fire. 2d Lt. Fowler's courage, his ability to estimate the situation and to recognize his full responsibility as an officer in the Army of the United States, exemplify the high traditions of the military service for which he later gave his life.
William Harrell
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Leader of an Assault Group, serving with the First Battalion, Twenty-Eight Marines, Fifth Marine Division, during hand- to-hand combat with enemy Japanese at Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, on 3 March 1945. Standing watch alternately with another Marine in a terrain studded with caves and ravines, Sergeant Harrell was holding a position in a perimeter defense around the company command post when Japanese troops infiltrated our lines in the early hours of dawn. Awakened by a sudden attack, he quickly opened fire with his carbine and killed two of the enemy as they emerged from a ravine in the light of a star-shell burst. Unmindful of his danger as hostile grenades fell closer, he waged a fierce lone battle until an exploding missile tore off his left hand and fractured his thigh; he was attempting to reload the carbine when his companion returned from the command post with another weapon. Wounded again by a Japanese who rushed the foxhole wielding a saber in the darkness, Sergeant Harrell succeeded in drawing his pistol and killing his opponent and then ordered his wounded companion to a place of safety. Exhausted by profuse bleeding but still unbeaten, he fearlessly met the challenge of two more enemy troops who charged his position and placed a grenade near his head. Killing one man with his pistol, he grasped the sputtering grenade with his good right hand and, pushing it painfully toward the crouching soldier, saw his remaining assailant destroyed but his own hand severed in the explosion. At dawn Sergeant Harrell was evacuated from a position hedged by the bodies of twelve dead Japanese, at least five of whom he had personally destroyed in his self-sacrificing defense of the command post. His grim fortitude exceptional valor and indomitable fighting spirit against almost insurmountable odds reflect the highest credit upon himself and enhance the finest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Lloyd Hughes
For conspicuous gallantry in action and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. On August 1943, 2d Lt. Hughes served in the capacity of pilot of a heavy bombardment aircraft participating in a long and hazardous minimum-altitude attack against the Axis oil refineries of Ploesti, Rumania, launched from the northern shores of Africa. Flying in the last formation to attack the target, he arrived in the target area after previous flights had thoroughly alerted the enemy defenses. Approaching the target through intense and accurate antiaircraft fire and dense balloon barrages at dangerously low altitude, his plane received several direct hits from both large and small caliber antiaircraft guns which seriously damaged his aircraft, causing sheets of escaping gasoline to stream from the bomb bay and from the left wing. This damage was inflicted at a time prior to reaching the target when 2d Lt. Hughes could have made a forced landing in any of the grain fields readily available at that time. The target area was blazing with burning oil tanks and damaged refinery installations from which flames leaped high above the bombing level of the formation. With full knowledge of the consequences of entering this blazing inferno when his airplane was profusely leaking gasoline in two separate locations, 2d Lt. Hughes, motivated only by his high conception of duty which called for the destruction of his assigned target at any cost, did not elect to make a forced landing or turn back from the attack. Instead, rather than jeopardize the formation and the success of the attack, he unhesitatingly entered the blazing area and dropped his bomb load with great precision. After successfully bombing the objective, his aircraft emerged from the conflagration with the left wing aflame. Only then did he attempt a forced landing, but because of the advanced stage of the fire enveloping his aircraft the plane crashed and was consumed. By 2d Lt. Hughes' heroic decision to complete his mission regardless of the consequences in utter disregard of his own life, and by his gallant and valorous execution of this decision, he has rendered a service to our country in the defeat of our enemies which will everlastingly be outstanding in the annals of our Nation's history.
You're absolutely right Husker. That group of men is a good reason to dislike A&M.

Somehow the ags will find a way to mess up this golden opportunity. We're talking about a program that has had excellent baseball teams in the past but has still managed to never win a game in Omaha. It wouldn't shock me if that happened again this year.
I'll recognize the ags having a good season once they can accomplish the unthinkable and win at least one game on the big stage.

Holy smokes. A thread intended to praise aggy for their solid year (thus far) and it turns into a Corp of Cadets circle jerk. Seriously, we know that you had some awesome generals or majors or lieutenants or whatever but the aggy need to get this stroking all the time is, well, very aggy.
Tell you what aggy... your baseball team is phenomenal and your army stuff is just awesome as all get out. There. Now go get misty eyed about the time you squeezed your nuts so hard you had to dunk your ring in a milk shake while kissing the cow that gave the milk for the shake after winning in the Big 12 tournament after being swept by Texas in the regular season.

Get your facts straight. That Ags have won a game in Omaha. They beat KU in the first round of the '93 Series. Jeff Granger got the win.
