Howdy, Three more weeks until the first match !....Congrats to KJ, Carrie Berend, and Annie Burnett for being named Captains of the 2005 Texas aggie Soccer Team....FYI PT 2 is about a piece of Aggie lore that I really can't confirm. Maybe someone out there can confirm this....KJ made a recruiting visit to TAMU from Missouri. Her flight was from MO. to CLL, connecting at DFW. Somehow she missed the connecting flight to CLL. So,,,She hitchhicked from Dallas to College Station! Can someone out there confirm this story?... Anyway, congrats to all three Captains. I am looking foreward to this season as I look foreward to every season of Texas Aggie Soccer!!!!

It's true.

Good luck to the girl's soccer team. This year is as good as any to win it all!! Bring home the NC.

whoop! and theyre still hot too

Gig 'em, Ags!
December 2005 will be a good time to celebrate our soccer prowess!

And to win the National Championship at home!

Coach G had a great observation, see the soccer team with the National Semi Final on Dec. 2, see the football team win the Big 12 on Dec. 3, then come see the gals win the National Championship on Dec. 4.

I like the man's thinking!

10 MORE DAYS. WHOOP!

bad news coming...

The Currie twins both suffered ACL tears, unfortunately, and will obviously be out for the season. In a sad twist of fate, both suffered them this week in practice, one day apart, and both on the left knee.

Unreal.

Sad about the Curries. Any word on how it happened. Remember a few seasons ago when 6 or 7 had torn acls.

same leg, same drill, one day apart.

Boy, that's a freak occurrence...

Any chance they could be rehabbed and ready to play in the playoffs???

Wasn't Paige's injury in the Big 12 tourney an ACL? Was it Paige?

yes it was paige, and no i seriously doubt we could or would want them to try and heal that fast to play in the tourny. no reason to burn an entire season of eligibility by then anyway. if they sit out this year they still get 4 full years.

i dont think anyone from the currie bloodline should do that drill EVER again! =)

so in the long run will this work out for the good or the bad... from the sounds of cydne id like to have her scoring alongside pistorious for as long as possible, and now itll only be 2 years instead of three. but then again, we'll have her and her sister for 4 years AFTER this year... ugh, i wanted to watch em THIS year

As you all know, the Aggies will play an exhibition match this Saturday vs Southern Mississippi....Check this out....Southern Mississippi has a player,(injured), named Micah Stephens #8. The Aggies have a player named Micah Stephens #18 (healthy)...The odds of this happening are that of maybe......Twin sisters tearing ACLs in the same knee on consecutive days!...I wish the very best for Cydne and Natalie!!! See you all Saturday.

I just thought how hard it would be for them to have to sit when the Aggies are playing in the Finals of the NCAAs on their home turf.

I'm dreaming big here.

how do we get tickets to the exhibition game( i am a student and have a sports pass, but havnt picked it up yet), both of my parents graduated from southern miss, and the 20th just happens to be the day i am moving in... so i would love to go take my family and watch us BTHO Southern Miss

I don't think you have to pay to get in the exhibition game. Just show up at the soccer complex. I believe game is at 8 pm but better get there early to get a good seat.

thanks

I will be there!

For us Aggie Soccer novices:

1. How much are the injuries really going to hurt? I know we have everyone including student trainers and ASIDs coming back, so can our depth overcome?

2. I haven't looked at the schedules the last few years, but are we talking about '90's era Kyle like winning percentages at home? I realize it can't hurt to have the Final 4 here, but how much will it help, assuming we can get there?

Aggie Lawyer - I don't know about #1, but simply going to a game will answer #2.

1) its not going to make a noticeable difference because we didnt have either girl last year and we have super-talented players playing any position that we graduated last year, so dont expect to see a drop-off.

2) this is how we fare at home...

in 2004 > 9-5 at home
2003 > 10-1-1
2002 > 12-0
2001 > 7-1
2000 > 10-1
1999 > 10-1
1998 > 8-4
1997 > 8-1
1996 > 9-1
1995 > 9-1
1994 > 8-0
1993 > 7-0 (first year of the program i believe)

... so ya, the ladies pretty much own the aggie soccer complex
