I don't live in College Station, or Texas, or anywhere else with a sufficient density of Aggies to get a feeling for how the faithful are reacting to the state of our basketball program. My geographic deficiency requires me to rely on a handful of beat reporters. So what are they saying? The fear-mongers (i.e. my boy Brent Z) think that Texas A&M is desperate and tonight is a gigantic game for the Aggies' self-preservation, while the more reasonable reporters out there understand that it's hard to call any game a must-win, especially the fourth game into the conference season.

I won't argue that a win would be nice, but I am pretty sure the sky is not falling.... yet.
