Howdy Ags,

Rough weekend on the athletic front as the soccer team lost in the SEC Championship Tournament on Sunday against Florida. The team was outscored 2-1, but did you know in the last three tournaments it was the first two goals they had allowed? That’s right, they played almost three entire SEC tournament matches and allowed just 2 goals. On a positive note, the team started 5 freshman on Sunday which means the future should be bright. Hats off to Coach G and the team as they await their future NCAA location which will be announced on Monday. Best of luck in their pursuit of a national championship.

I am sure many of us are scratching our heads regarding the football team. Our high ‘high power’ offense struggled to say the least. Another game at Kyle Field this week and if you are not able to make it to Aggieland, our watch party will get started at 6PM for a 6:30 kick-off against Western Carolina. Our watch party will once again be at George’s so join us on the patio.

Things have kicked off on the hardwood and basketball season is getting ready to start in full swing. Be sure to catch the men’s and women’s programs as there will be some exciting games this year. On a final note, the volleyball team has won eight straight and is now 10-2 in SEC play. Hitting their stride at the right time as we near the end of the season.
