Ol' TOAg over at agtimes is at it again. In an effort to pump up the maroon faithful (and hopefully pump up aTm practice attendance into the double digits), he's put together a clip of 3 aTm plays from last year, featuring "War" Sean Weston, Mark "The Rifle" Ferris, and Derrick "The" Farmer.
First, we're treated to "War" Sean Weston's end-zone interception during the Notre Dame. Only problem is, the pass is a floater. As in, it really hung up there. As in, more parabolic than the "Vomit Comet" they used to film the zero-G scenes of Apollo 13. The only thing missing was the gift wrapping and a tag reading, "From: domers, To: gomers". Way to lead the DB, Santa Claus.
Next up, Mark "The Rifle" Farris takes the snap, pitches right, and rolls out left for an uncontested TD catch. Okay, am I the only one who sees the irony in the fact that the best game footage of a QB whose nickname is "The Rifle" shows him catching the ball? Probably not, considering the wobbly, woozy pass from the running back was more accurate than the ones "The Rifle" drilled into the turf last season.
Finally, we have Derrick "The" Farmer taking the pitch, running over a hapless defender, and taking it to the house. Now I ask you, what's wrong with this scenario? You might answer, "Well, for starters, an aggie would never have a definite article for a nickname, given their well-documented aversion to that particular part of speech" -- and you'd be exactly correct! But more importantly, aren't the aggies playing Iowa State in that clip? Yeah, that's them, the crimson-clad defensive powerhouse of the midwest. Or does that title belong to some other team?
A masterpiece, through and through; 2 thumbs way, way up!
