I hope the Aggs remember how opportunistic the cyclones are and don't make a lot of mistakes. Nebraska found out first hand last week that it is possible to lose to them

Congrats on the win in Lubbock! We enjoyed our yrs of winning in Lubbock, but you came to town and thoroughly took it to the Red Raiders. Good game!!
Hope you have a successful season the rest of the year.
I will be at Kyle Field for the Iowa State game. GO AGS!!!

Congrats Aggies! I wish I could say I had faith that we would win, but I have never been happier to be proven wrong. I can't blame the networks for not airing the game due to the lopsided scores recently, who could blame networks for lack of publicity? However, after the upset, a one-hour telecast of the game will be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (on FOX). Also due to the victory, there will be a two-hour version of the "Big 12 Instant Classic" to discuss the game. So why then when the rest of the "sports world" is "making up" for their '"lack of faith" and misjudgment in our beloved Aggies, is our own campus newspaper failing to do so? The day after a big win, how is it that the main publication on this campus cannot muster more enthusiasm than a simple picture? (And not even a full page at that--which is ironic considering that the feature Friday... was a full page story telling all of Texas A&M that anyone who thought the Aggies would win were idiots!) This was the first time since 1993 that the Aggies came out victoriously from a match-up with the Raiders. Needless-to-say this win was a "big deal," or at least to everyone except the Battalion. As the student voice, shouldn't you be representing what is interesting and important to Aggie students and even former students? Anyway congrats Ags! You deserve the recognition from all of us that doubted you! Well... everyone except the Batt, of course. I'm glad to see this article in efforts to rectify such a mistake.

I am a recent (May) graduate of A&M, I am currently a grad student up here in Lubbock as well as a member of the Lubbock A&M club. I was at Midnight Yell on Friday, as well as the game on Saturday in a white sweater...the only one NOT wearing red and/or black, and i was sitting in the dreaded student section. Since I am probably the happiest person in Lubbock right now, I want to say how proud I am of the football team and the 12th man for Saturday's game! I am sorry that the team had to deal with the fans, I am often ashamed to be sitting with them, and I certainly was this weekend. And I'm glad that we were able to overcome the "black-out" that Tech had been planning for months (since August, all the hype has been on the radio). I have never heard that stadium so quiet, and I'll admit that it was one of the greatest sounds that I've ever heard from Tech fans. Congratulations to the Aggie Football Team and the 12th Man! Let's keep it up! Gig'em!

How was the crow? ..speaking of course to all the crybabies and whiners after the K-State loss. How about we give this coach a few years to build this program back or do you want to still fire him and find somebody else to start over? Way to go Aggie football team, you have made us proud and will continue to do so win or lose.
