    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    I am pretty sure that I am the only Aggie who has posted on this thread, and all I said "Long time no see, guys! I loved the game last night!" I was just dropping in to say hi because I've been spending my season on other sports boards. If I'd known I was going to be ambushed by some jackass...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    It's well known throughout Texas that his father owns land in the oilfields outside of Tyler, TX. They're loaded. That's how he afforded the courtside NBA seats. Here's a 20 year old kid who has the world by the balls and knows it. More power to him.

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    Insecure?!? We kicked your asses all over the field on national television. Why would I be insecure? Oh, and I got the WAC comparison from the game thread on soonerfans.com. Dig through and find it for yourself. I don't remember what page it's on, but I happen to agree with it. The 70-63...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    Long time no see, guys! I loved the game last night! :D There's a guy named Tim Griffin who blogs for the San Antonio Express-News. Below is a link to his thoughts on the game and on OU's program. I think that a lot of it applies to the Big 12 in general. The Big 12 started off as a very...

    Comcast SportsNet Houston Launches Today

    http://www.chron.com/news/article/Fans-of-local-teams-stand-to-win-as-new-network-3907606.php It's interesting. HSE was launched in 1983 and was the first RSN. Astros road television games had been on KRIV television and then KTXH for as long as I can remember. Then Astros owner John...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    If you look at pre WWII MNCs in college football, it is very common to have any number of schools claiming titles for the same season. As far as I am concerned, we were just late to the party on this one. The conference title claims are completely different. A number of Aggies have spent the...

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    Apparently we just haven't put up the '$' sign denoting those as division championships. http://www.aggieathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27300&ATCLID=205389912#football :rolleyes: Yes, it's lame, and I am hoping that it isn't a sign (no pun intended) of things to come with the new AD.

    NCAA Football 2012-13 season

    Not us. Someone on texags.com (our biggest fan site) did some investigating. The group "AGGIE NATION" gave Clearchannel advertising "925B Capitol of Texas, Austin, TX" as their address. That's the same address as shaggybevo.com, a whorn fan site...

    Dallas suburb to open new $60 million football stadium

    Here's a website dedicated to the nuttiest fan base in the area where I grew up (Beaumont, TX). They love their PN-G Indians and their cherished Friday nights at "The Reservation." http://www.pngindians.com/sports/football/ They have more than 4,000 "likes" on Facebook.

    Dallas suburb to open new $60 million football stadium

    Dallas suburb to open new $60 million football stadium - Houston Chronicle I will be the first one to admit that I've never gotten your hardcore Texas high school football fan. I can't for the life of me figure out how a 50 year old man would be caught dead wearing his high school letterman's...

    How many baseball games have you been to this year?

    Well, I just bought tickets for the 8/12 Brewers@Astros game. It will be my three year old's first MLB game.

    What stadium no longer around would you have liked to have seen a MLB game in?

    I am a night owl, so I loved it when the Astros were in the NL West. I loved watching games at Candlestick because it would be June or July and ridiculously hot in Texas, and people there would be bundled up and still look just miserably cold. Add to that the adventure of every pop up, and...

    What stadium no longer around would you have liked to have seen a MLB game in?

    I would love to have seen an extra inning night game at Candlestick. I once saw a 22 inning Dodgers/Astros game at the Dome, but I think even ten innings at Candlestick would have been a better story.

    College baseball: NCAA regionals and beyond

    Those guys can flat out hit. Very few poor ABs all series. And those guys have balls the size of cantaloupe. They went to traditional power Miami and won there then went to LSU and won there. Wow!

    Al-Jazeera To Launch Two Sports Networks For US: Any Thoughts?

    Interesting ... I assumed from the title that they would air soccer from the Arab world. Until a few weeks ago, I had a Moroccan graduate student who worked for me, and he was obsessed with soccer... their national team and Real Madrid. This looks like they will be airing things that used to...

    Minnesota keeps its Vikings; Rams and Raiders top candidates for L.A.?

    It's only been 17 years since the Rams ditched LA for STL. I thought that St. Louis built the TWA Dome (Now Edward Jones) specifically for the Rams? A new stadium only gets you 17 years now?

    Fans sue MLB over blackout policy

    The NBA and NHL are so much more reasonable with their blackouts. The area is something like 50 or 75 miles from the arena. When Gerry Hunsicker was the Astros GM, he wouldn't allow their Saturday night games to be televised. They did their big promotions on Saturday night, and he wanted to...
