Had the blessing of going today, and WOW what a match. Epitome of that Aggie effort and earning what's rightfully ours. Fantastic match and hope the guys take this momentum and destroy Ohio State with it!

That was WAY more exciting than my group of 5 Aggies wanted. After completing dominating the doubles, we never seemed to look very confident in the 3 matches I watched (Junior's side). the one part that left me a bit less than overjoyed was how many on the line calls there were in the last set. And, they seemed to go against texas every time. We were sitting next to some texas fans and they were very pleasant, encouraging of their guy, etc. I just hated seeing the looks on their faces as close call after close call went against them. We were sitting on the line and several were just bad.

I know bad calls are part of the game and am ecstatic with how it turned out.

Brad I would feel bad against any other opponent, but during the Efferding match, Ore match, and Harrison match, all three t.u. opponents bullsharted at least 2 calls a piece. The refs ruled in our favor on the ones you described, but our players weren't trying to cheat to win on a lot of points like t.u.'s players were.

The NCAA did not do us any favors by bumping us a spot (ranked 11 and seeded 12); we get Ohio State; had we been 11 we would be playing Memphis who upset Ole Miss; gotta play em all, but I sure would have liked our chances with Memphis. Still, when the smoke clears, it has been a good ride for our team; everyone except Niall will be back next year, and if we can add one more guy to the mix, we could be pretty good if we stay healthy and happy.

Maybe it's just me, but we never seem to get many favors? I would like our chances much more against Memphis or Ole Miss evn though we've beaten Ohio St. earlier in the yr.

Great going guys against the Horns. Hope they can pull off the Ohio State match but they will have to play at the top of their games on a neutral site and Ohio State will be out for revenge.

Complaining about the unfavorable draw and the NCAAs don't ever do us any favors is ludicrous. The men had several matches they should have won such as LSU. Take care of those type matches then maybe we have a little easier match in the round of 16, although they all are tough at this point in the draw.

Really not so much a complaint Rick as an observation; there were a couple of other bumps in the seeding; no conspiracy theory here; need doubles and a win toward the top of the lineup against the Buckeyes; hopefully it will work out;

We definitely didnt help ourselves out by losing a few matches like LSU, but the ranking system is always a mystery to me. Ole Miss loses at home to Alabama in the SEC tourney and moves from 7 to 6 for the NCAAs. Ags dominate Bama and lose a 4-3 heartbreaker to eventual champion Georgia and move down a spot? Theres also the indoors:Ags are #15 and have a huge win against #4 Ohio State the week before and for some reason they don't release rankings the next week, we stay at #15 and draw #2 USC 1st round and go into a tailspin. Theres also two years ago when I feel we had the best team in a long while with a real chance to go very deep: Coming off of a big 12 championship we draw the host school Stanford in the sweet 16. Obviously we gotta beat em all but we definitely haven't gotten any favors!
