My game day. . . gig'em Aggies!!

[Fisher of Men]

Well guys,

Today is my bowl game.  It's time for my Aggies to strap it on and step it up.  I'm excited to see if we can hang with Cal in the Holiday Bowl.  I can't wait for 7:00 to get here.  I'm not real familiar with the Cal team, but think my Ags have a good chance at beating them.  Any Cal/Texas A&M fans who want to discuss any pre-game strategies?  Only 12 and a half hours to go.

From one horns fan to an Aggie,    Gig'em and go big XII!!!

Thanks Matt.  What's your take on the Alamo Bowl?  Do you think Colt's ready to play?  Can Iowa bring back some luster to thier season and provide some resistance?  Good luck to your horns, too.

-Fisher

[Matt Fly]

If Iowa's QB is healthy, and last I knew he was, then I'd say unless the horns patched their secondary up, its gonna be long day for the horns.

Hope not, but they have the same problem as my Cowboys, no pass rush, and can't defend against the pass.

I sure liked what Javon Snead did in his short relief of Colt.    I sure wished he wouldn't have decided to transfer to Ole Miss.    We shall see if Colt is ready to play on Sat.   I hope so.

Good luck tonight Fisher......My Vols played Cal first game of the season and we took em to the woodshed. I don't think they were ready for us or the big 100,000 + crowd. They certainly are better than they showed that day but I always like a big win in Knoxville, makes the drive home so much more fun!. The word on em then was a strong running game. They looked the part but didn't show it to us that day.

GO PAC-10!!!!!mainly washington but......GO PAC-10!!!!!

I hope A&M wins so the Bama people can see what they did to get Coach Fran to tell them where to stick it.

Bama thinks they are getting Satan for $70,000,000 for 10 years, or so the rumors go.  I think the Bama gang would do better by digging up the Bear and just having him on the sidelines.

As for the Longhorns, anyone who beats Texas is my friend.  And another Non-BCS Bowl year for the Longhorns.  Dont' you just love Mack Brown?

Mack Brown to Alabama?  Sounds good to me?

Coach Fran to Bama? Never.

I always want the southern teams to win so go Aggies!

Nice hearing from Fishers of Men again.  

Happy New Year!

[Fisher of Men]

Thanks Sam.

I know there were plenty of critics from 'Bama who would have liked to see Fran lose.  Heck, I really wasn't pleased with the way he left them and really he wasn't my choice to come to Aggieland, but he seems to be getting things worked out this year (except for a couple of play calls in the Nebraska and OU games. . . we could have played for the Big 12 championship).  I'm hoping we can go in and get a win tonight.  I'm sure it will help silence some critics.  Much of our early success this year came from beating chump teams (U La La, Citidel, etc.).  It looks like your tigers have their hands full to beat Notre Dame, but I'm sure they can.  Good luck to them!!

Matt,

Yeah, I thought Snead filled in well for Colt.  I didn't know he was going to Ole Miss.  He'll help them out for sure.  

As for the Tide, I'll take OSU over them today.

. . . only five more hours 'til game time!!

[Matt Fly]

We sure love Fran in Texas also.    And if losing once to atm keeps his job, we surely don't mind ya'll keeping Fran.

Mack Brown is the only coach who can say they have won 50 games in the last five years!!!!   and one more win this year gives him another ten win season.l

By the way, just how many BCS bowls has the Aggies been to?    What Bowl did the Aggies go to last year when we won the BCS?    I believe I would leave Texas alone, cause you and Fran don't have much to talk about.    Records speak for themselves.

Anyway, I'm tired of hearing how soft the Big XII is nationally, and I root for my Texas boys at all times, even the Texas Aggies because the majority of players are Texans.

Gig'em Aggies, Go big XII,

We got 3 Big XII teams playing tonight, indeed, go Big XII.

1, Sugar Bowl in '99- 2 TD loss to #3 Ohio State and last year we were pummeled by Tennesee in the Cotton Bowl.

Matt, did I miss something?

I don't recall saying anything negative about Texas. The Ags have not dominated UT since a run in the 90's and the overall record is way lopsided toward Texas. Therefore, I have no need to. Do I like the Longhorns? No, not particularly, but like you I'm pulling for all the Big 12 schools to win.

Good luck,

Fisher

[Fisher of Men]

Correction:  last year no bowl game.  The loss to Tennessee came in 2005.

Hey Fisher of Men, pulling for those Aggies.  Good first qtr here.  They match up pretty well.  Think this is going to be a tough game.

Guy that I became real good friends with at work went to A&M - biiiiig Aggies fan - and I pull for them because of him.  I was shocked though the first time I told him I had to pull for Texas too tough because of Mack - I am one of the few TarHeels that would take Mack Brown back in a minute - he said that was OK as long as they weren't playing the Aggies    Was shocked.  You would never, or rather highly, highly unlikely to hear a tarheel saying it was OK to pull for dookie or vise-versa.  But he informed me how most Texas & A&M fans pull against the other, but outside of Texas, you pull for the Texas team.  I respect that - very cool.  Although I must admit,  never have pulled for dook and can't imagine any circumstance where I would.

oops, Cal just scored.

Good luck,

Eddie

[ejtaylor822]

Sorry, fisher.

[Fisher of Men]

OUCH!!

Well, congrats to Cal!! They really kicked our tail tonight. I also admire Coach Tedford for his actions late and his comments after the game. Class.

Good luck to everyone else's teams!!

Gig'em in '07!!

God bless,

Fisher

[Catt]

Dang it I hate seeing that, my first prediction loss   :'(

A & M is better than that    :-[

[Matt Fly]

I sure thought the start of this game was gonna live up to all the other Holiday Bowl games in the past.   Ags came out strong, what happened?

Matt

Fisher,

You didn't say anything, I was just commenting on Sam's take on anybody beating Texas.

Matt.

[Fisher of Men]

Matt,

That's what I thought, but I didn't want any hard feelings.  Yeah, it's like Cal figured us out after the first quarter or something.   The way they played I think they could have played with anyone in the country.  I know the Ags aren't anywhere near the best, but they made us look like a Jr. High team.  I'm just looking forward to having 17 starters returning, hoping they'll get stronger (o-line) and faster (all defense).

[RiskKid.]

Condolences Fisher....I watched the game and was thinking about you and found myself pullin for your Aggies. Ya'll will be back, A&M is a great orginization with an outstanding tradition.....you gotta love it when everyone stands up the entire game!

BTW, did all you football fans in TX see the ESPN article where they annointed Texas the #1 football state in the nation.....HATS OFF!
