    Big game tonight, but bigger for my Ags. They have to get back on track or this season could go downhill fast. I think we need to have Kirk and Roland in the game a lot to try to slow down the Texas Guards a bit on D and hope that Josh Carter remembers how to shoot the ball. In conference play he is shooting something like 25% from 3 point range. Not good for last seasons NCAA leader.

    It's a big game for both. A&M needs it to get back on track. UT needs it for RPI. It's going to be a close game...not 5 OT's close, though. I think UT pulls this one out as their guards are just better. Though, I think Damien James will be the difference in this one. Look for him to have a big big game

    UT 78
    A&M 72

    I am upset I can't see KSU/KU!!!
    Monumental game for the Aggies. A confident victory at home and the entire attitude towards this season can change. A close battle and victory would be a great lesson. A loss? Would catapult us out of the top 25 and things will most likely get worse. I don't think these players are buying what Turgeon is selling (because he is a selling a crappy product). Like Acie Law said; this isn't Aggie basketball.

    Nice first half!!! Ags up by 15! We've blown leads that big before pretty quickly. Gotta keep it going the entire 2nd half.

    Unhappy camper here! Doesn't help that my boss is there and is texting me bragging.

    At least K-State upset Kansas, whatever that means.

    Aggie fans have to be the least knowledgeable basketball fans in the country. The scream foul on every miniscule touch, and boo the most obvious calls against their own team.

    Yeah because Longhorn fans (or almost any teams fans) don't do that at all :rolleyes:

    Apparently you are the one not knowledgeable ... and a Basketball snob to boot. Bad combination.

    No, actually they don't. If you watch knowledgable fans, they cheer for their teams, but they don't act like they know absolutely nothing about basketball. There's a difference between being behind your team and understanding the game, and being blindly in love with your university. Watch a Duke, UNC, or Kansas game and you'll see the difference.

    Whatever ... You can think whatever the hell you want, but I watch College Basketball all the time, and fans ***** about good calls and bad calls all the time. Are there a few schools where they are a little better than others? Yes. I'll definitely agree with you on KU. They are great fans. But, UNC??? Are you kidding me?!?!? They ***** about everything there especially considering they get all the calls since they have UNC on their jersey.

    I can't even believe I have to argue this point.

    And don't get me wrong. I agree with you that they complain way too much and I think its dumb. But to say that most schools are not like that is just plain wrong.

    Losing Davis is a MASSIVE blow to this team. We really need him. Sure hope its nothing serious.

    I'm not saying that a lot of schools don't so they same thing. I'm saying that A&M is one of the worst. There are fans who understand the game out there, Aggies are not one of them.

    These points you are making are worthless anyway. Just focus on what's going on the court not with the fans. TAMU is playing a helluva game completely dominating the higher ranked longhorns. Focus on that.

    I love when you horns fans go to trash talking like that because that means you are losing on the court/field to the Aggies just like you've been doing a lot of the last few years.
