Texas scores first.  Get a 2 out hit from Brown and it scores 2 runs.

Texas 2-0. Starting the bottom of the 1st inning.

 

[david ficken]

Texas is now up 3-1.  We did chase their starter in the top of the 3rd. Hope that we don't look back at the top of the 3rd with the would've, could've, should've had a better top of the 3rd only scoring 1 run when we had bases loaded amd no outs after scoring that run.

BTW, I believe I saw that Johnny dude there at the game dressed as a hot dog.

Top of the 8th. Texas has added a run after getting the bases loaded. The aggy pitcher hits Guilimette to add the run. 4-2 Texas.   aggy is now got the 4th pitcher in the inning?  Texas gets a 2nd run on a slow hit in the infield.

It's  5-2 Texas.

We have left something like 13/14 base runners on tonight.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 8 complete it's 5-2 Texas.

Great night! I’ll take any win against them. I hate them and can’t stand them.

From one who was there, Texas Envy was more obnoxious than usual. It didn’t help that he was sitting next to us with his wife.

The arm talent on our pitching staff is STRIKE-ing. Did you see what I did there?  When / if said arm talent throws strikes, this team is formidable.

Nice to finally get a win over Aggie in baseball.

I thought the sec network broadcast was quite good.  I was expecting a Dave South-ish homer broadcast.

I was surprised by this too. Nothing beats Swindell and Moreland but the sec network did a very good job last night.

I still thought they were a tad homerish. Did I hear them right and mention aggy as "Texas" several times?

aggy is cute when they do their Horns sign incorrectly while losing.

On TV, the aggy sitting in the first row, third chair from homeplate on the 1st base side, what a douchbag!

@java, I didn't see any bubbles last night, did they do any? That's a stupid tradition they started in my opinion.

I thought that as well.  With that said, they were complimenting Texas a lot, but they were audibly excited when atm was trying to do something in the 8th.

Also, was it just me or did anyone else find it odd that atms uniforms said "Texas Aggies" and not Texas ATM Aggies?

Water is wet, aggy is odd

I’ve had a few try to explain to me that they’ve always been the “fighting Texas Aggies”.  I asked why the dropped the A&M but can never get an answer for that.
