so close yet sooo far away

well, the ags didnt make it to the sweet sixteen. however, i think many would agree that they deserved to be there. we sadly lost in the last seconds when LSU scored a 3pter to put them one point ahead and win it. yeah...A point. it's almost worse when it's thats close bc youre so close to the win, yet so far away. so that was kinda rough but all to say...

congratulations aggies. you might not have won it but you made it a lot farther than anyone expected you to. you ended the regular season 4th in the big 12, you made it further in the tourney than two other big 12 teams that were seeded higher than you including big 12 champs kansas, you beat 5th seeded syracuse in the first round and held their star player to a mere 2 points, and you played hard against 4th seeded lsu and had claimed the win up until the last 4 seconds. but the season is now over..a little sooner than some of your fans had hoped...but there's always next year right?

so theres my "proud of the aggies" blurb. now about the tourney in general. its just crazy, but it wouldnt be called march madness if it wasnt right? ill admit ive never really followed college basketball until last year or so - maybe bc college basketball and a&m didnt go hand in hand while i attended. of course they get good after i leave! but...it is exciting to watch and its strangely addicting...i dont even want to think about how many hours i spent this weekend in front of the tv. it makes me feel a little better that most of the general population was right there with me though. anyways...the 'madness' doesnt pick up again until thursday so now i can move from the couch and actually do something slightly productive.
