Then men's basketball team hosts Jacksonville tonight, and I am very sad to announce that I will not be watching the game. My bet is that it will not be a nail biter. Their staring line-up includes: 1 senior and 3 freshman, no one taller than Josh Carter (6'9''), and a former Texas A&M football red shirt. Think domination by Joe and AK. Any guesses on how many fouls Joe will commit on these guys who are 2'' shorter and 25 lbs lighter? I am thinking 4, 3 in the first half.

The Big-12 is sucking it up. RPI rankings put the Big-12 behind the Pac-10, ACC, SEC, Big East, Missouri Valley etc etc etc etc. I must hand it to the Missouri Valley, they have cracked the RPI code. How else do you explain Southern Ill in the top 10? To date the Big-12 is 4-5 against top 25 opponents, we certainly did our part (L to LSU and UCLA) in boosting that 5. But that does not stop A&M from being on of the best "fall/winter sports" programs in the nation. Fall/winter sports? Wtf?

McCoy and Brown switched positions. It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, but the move got a lot of press (chron, expresss). And finally a preview of the Cal game.
