YOU JUST SHOWED YOUR IGNORANCE IN EVERY ASPECT. LOOK AT THE RECORDS IN ALL SPORTS BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS. SINCE A&M HAS BET THE HORNS THE LAST TWO YEARS IN FOOTBALL, WON 3 OF THE LAST 4 MEETINGS IN BASKETBALL AND ARE THE DEFENDING BIG 12 CHAMPIONS IN BASEBALL, THEN I GUESS A&M IS SUPERIOR TO HORNS IN EVERY ASPECT.

Yeah, that's why this past year Tech had to lower their acceptance standards in hopes of boosting enrollment... for the FOURTH straight year... get a life, t-sip...

Have you been paying any attention to Aggie basketball? The loss to Tech was only our second loss of the season... how can you be "tired of losing"? Our record, so far, is better than any other school in Texas and second only to Kansas in the Big12. Last year we made it to the Sweet 16 for the first time since you were an undergrad here... how is that a "chain of losers"? I thought old Ags were supposed to be the role models when comes to supporting the team... 2 losses in 15 games and you call them "loosers"... maybe you should start cheering for Tech, thier coach has to win 899 games to get them to fill the arena...

Your standings are not better than any team in the conference except Kansas. The Ags have two losses and are 1-1 in conference. Baylor has two losses and is 2-0 in conference. Yes, the Ags have played and won one more game than the Bears but since conference is what really matters, A&M is below Baylor.
It will all play out next Wednesday.

Well I meant overall record... you are right, in-conference Baylor has a better record, but no Big12 team has played more than two games and you can't really judge which team is better based on just 2 games... looking at the big picture (the overall record) is, for now, the best way to make that judgment and overall A&M has a better record than Baylor (ok, by one game) and higher ranking... look at #19 Texas (13-3), right now they are 3rd from last in the Big12, but do you really think that they are a worse team than 9-7 Colorado?... Anyway, my whole point was we can't be considered "losers" just because we dropped one game to Texas Tech... right now Tech's got our number just like we seem to have Texas' number, these streaks happen in sports and, as frustrating as they are, it's no reason to call your team "losers", especially when they have won almost every other game this year...

Hi Ryan,

You seem to see two losses and 15 wins, whereas I see zero wins in the last three (0-3) times we played Tech. I also see 0-1 in Big 12 play.

Of course, if you are comfortable with losing, then that is the very definition of a loser! I find no comfort in losing. Gig 'em!

No, I see a pessimist. I am a realist, for a basketball program at a "football school" to be ranked 10th with only two losses less than five years after going 0-16 in conference play is pretty dang remarkable, and most of the guys on the team right now are the ones who worked so hard to make that transition from really losing to being a national powerhouse. We are 1-1 right now (not 0-1) and it is not (always) necessary to beat Texas Tech to win conference or national titles. I don't like losing either, but I think we should show the players some support instead of calling them a bunch of losers after they lose just one game to a rival no one at A&M really considers a rival. BTHO K-State!
