This Past Weekend and Aggie Football
Nothing much is going on right now. We ended up winning our game last Saturday against OSU, 62-23. It was a lot of fun going with someone in the Fightn' Texas Aggie Band! This game was also the game where old BQ's (former Aggie Band members) come back and march in as their own unit and play during the game in addition to the current Aggie Band.
The half-time show was interesting. First the Aggie Band did their show, then they formed up on the south end of Kyle Field and the Texas A&M Singing Cadets walked out on the field. Once they formed up, while the Aggie Band played The Stars and Stripes Forever, the Singing Cadets sang the words to it. After that, as a tribute to all of those in the armed forces for both those who are still living and for those who gave their lives for their country, they played each branch's song. While each branch's song was being played, one member of the Color Guard marched from the sidelines to the center of the field with the flag of that branch. It was very moving to see old veterans stand when their branch was called and sing. What an awesome Saturday!
This weekend we play Kansas State. I'm not at all sure whether we're gonna win or not. We're not consistent at all. For those who would know, obviously our "defense" is our weakness and the only way we can win is to outscore our opponent before they outscore us because we sure can't stop them from scoring. Our next home game will be next weekend against Iowa State. That looks to be a tough game, but since it's gonna be here at Kyle Field, we've got a good chance.
The following weekend will be away against Texas Tech. I'll tell you right now, unless we create an friggin' awesome defense in two weeks, we ain't got a chance. The following weekend will be away against OU. This year they aren't near as good as they used to be. Even though they stink, they'll still be a tough team to beat on their field. Our last game will be against t.u. That's gonna be an interesting game. t.u. is #2 the nation, but as many #1 teams have found out, if you play the Aggies at home, you're not guaranteed a win until the clock goes to 00:00. We've beat #1 OU before and Nebraska back when they were top 5, so you never know.....If we could just fix our defense, we would very possibly be top 15. Anyways, that's all speculation. We'll see.

I bet that was kinda moving with the Singing Cadets singing each branch of the army's song. And also I agree the t.u. game is going to be interesting.
