Aggies Get a Big-Time Win Over Baylor. They Had Better Be Back in the Top 20 Next Week.

The Aggies started Rivalry Week off with the Battle of the Brazos against the Baylor Bears. Off an enormous win in Missouri earlier this week, A&M was looking to make another statement in the conference and in the national standings with a victory over the #20 Bears. And they got it.

Coogs Blow It From the Line. Lose to Southern Miss in Yet Another Game They Should’ve Won.

The Southern Miss Golden Eagles came into Hofheinz tonight sporting a 3-game winning in conference. The Coogs, on the other hand, have been spiraling downwards with 4 losses in their last 5 games so they needed to get this win to get moving in the right direction for the 2nd half of the Conference USA season.

Rockets Tackle the Grizzlies in Memphis.

The Rockets went into this one really, really needing a big win against a team that will be right there fighting for the 7th or 8th spots in the West come playoff time. The way Houston came out of the gates, they must’ve known it was a big game.

Rockets Trade Rumors #3: T-Mac Is Going Nowhere.

How do you think it feels to be Tracy McGrady right now? Imagine that your boss told you that you were no longer allowed to fluff Peter North but you would still be able to receive your bi-curious-weekly paychecks… Okay, you’re right, it doesn’t sound that bad to get paid to sit at home, especially when the salary is $22 million. Regardless,what if Mr. North couldn’t get it up to finish the scene but your boss was still too arrogant to admit that his secretary is not as good of a fluffer as you are so the movie flops, no pun intended.

Rice Finds a Way to Lose to a Team That Hadn’t Had a Lead in 5 Games. Fall to Tulane in Overtime.

The Owls had their 2nd straight Battle for the Bottom of Conference USA in Tudor Fieldhouse last night against the Tulane Green Wave. Last Saturday Rice lost some ground by beating ECU to be overtaken at the bottom by  the same Pirates. But to paraphrase the legendary Pirate, Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard) during his seige of Charleston, South Carolina, “Power is to have the ability to take something and not to do it.”

Aggies Get a Gigantic Win at Mizzou. If You Missed It, I Feel Sorry for You.

The Zou is one of the toughest places to play in the country where the Tigers were riding the nation’s 2nd-longest active, home winning streak with 32 straight in Columbia. This was the biggest game so far for this year’s Aggie team with Missouri sitting at 4-2 in the Big 12, just ahead of A&M at 4-3. More importantly, this was a matchup of 2 “probubble” teams so a win in this game could potentially propel one over the other for the final Big 12 spot in the Tournament.

Coogs Miss a Chance to Get Back into the Conference USA Race. Lose in UTEP.

And when I say they “missed” a chance, I mean that literally. The Coogs missed shot after shot after shot in a game that could’ve easily been won. UTEP was on a roll at 6-1 in C-USA with their only loss being last month to the Coogs at Hofheinz so this was a huge game in the conference standings and in the bubble race for the Big dance if neither wins the conference tournament.

Rockets Start February With a Win, It Was Over the Warriors Though So Don’t Get Excited.

I could not have been less excited to watch a basketball game. The Rockets have been miserable in 2010 and even worse on this 6-game home stand. And they were playing the 13-7,777 Golden State MontaEllises whos 2nd best player, Corey Maggette, was going to miss another game. I don’t blame Maggette; why would he risk further injury playing for such a terrible team? If I had it to do again, I would’ve followed his example and come down with sudden-onset optical crabs.

I Know Nobody Cares About the Pro Bowl, But Maybe You Should…

The Houston Texans sent 5 representatives to the Pro Bowl if you include Brian Cushing, who did not attend because he is injured. Now, a lot of people don’t think that means anything, and I would’ve agreed with them until I actually watched this game.

Rockets Fall to Phoenix in Overtime. Thank God January Is Over.

The Houston Rockets tried to get this game to last into the early morning of February 1st so that they could get a win (since they are not allowed to do that in January) but the 6:00 start would make that impossible, even with overtime.
