The Five Stages of Grief

I was reading my paper this morning, eating my raisin bran, and it hits me again, my Aggies are a 8 point underdog to the Baylor Freaking Bears. I'm still stunned a little bit, but thought I'd pen this for the Aggie readers, the Five Stages of Grief of an Aggie Football fan.

1. Denial - my first sign of a problem was the loss to Arkansas State...I just didn't know it at the time. You always look back later and see the signs. We Aggies blamed the loss on four turnovers, and the transition to a new coach. We ignored the fact we allowed 400 yards and controlled the time of possession.
2. Anger - the anger is best desribed by a former site AggieCoach.com. You can get to Google's Cache Site. The 14 point plan to revive the athletic department is a bit much, but you can definitely feel the anger toward the coaches.
3. Bargaining - I promise I'll be a better Aggie fan, and end my bitterness toward Revielle VIII, if we didn't lose to Army. My prayer - like many foxhole prayers, didn't last.
4. Depression - I found the perfect medication to lift my spirits. ViAggieRa!
5. Acceptance - Take Baylor give the points.

Good news is basketball season starts tomorrow for the Men, and the Women won yesterday. Gig em!

This is Home

The Aggies have "started" the season with a loss to Arkansas State, narrowly beating New Mexico, and getting absolutely drilled by Thug U. The one team we beat is so bad, they lost to Tulsa by 42 points two weeks later. How can you lose to Tulsa? Plus, we've started this whole, new "This is home" campaign.

Coach Sherman, it's time to roll the red carpet back up. We've lost our first two home games for the first time since 1972. Miami didn't just come in and make themselves at home, they had their way with the runt of the litter in the back yard while they were in the neighborhood.

When I die, I don't want to be buried outside Kyle Field; put me near Reed Arena.
