Why can't we win in Lubbock? A fourth quarter pick returned of a TD in 95, a missed field goal in 97, an inability to stop the run in 99, turnovers in 01, 8 TD passes in 03, and another 50+ points given up in 05. Following that trajectory, we should lose by about 100. But why?

Former TAMU lineman Hunter Goodwin thinks it it the fans, they are "nasty" and "a lot of Aggie don't want to deal with that." Nasty? I guess, if you think "the tortillas, the batteries and the 100 DPS troopers", goal posts in the stands, and Vick' Em Shirts (Note: these have been baned by the University, something about the shirts being "derogatory, inflammatory, insensitive, or in such bad taste that it reflects negatively on this fine institution, its students, athletic teams, alumni or faculty") is nasty.
Any expectation this year will be different? J-Train thinks so, according to him "we're going to win in 2007. That's a guarantee. I promise you." J-Train likes our chances against a one armed pirate, and so do I.

in a rare event I am not feeling as good as you feel going into this game...this team has not shown me much to be excited about and the defense...rough time last week vs. the 'boys tight end and now they have a whole WR group to shutdown...they must get the lead early and use the run game to slow the tempo...and that defense must play lights out...hope Carpenter and gang are ready....Gig 'Em Ags!!!
