Cougs vs F-the-Aggies

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Every team we've been against has been "really good" and "on fire", yet we've been shutting down team after team.

I'm super excited for our game vs TAMU, and I have no idea what to expect, but what I do know is that the one consistent thing about the Cougs during this tournament has been - not going on a long cold streak. I think if we continue to do that we will be competitive vs anyone else in this tourney.

Tamu is the only other team in addition to WSU that has not only DESTROYED every team they have played in the NIT, but also against the top, best seeded teams.

Other teams, have been lucky to face teams that UPSET the supposedly tougher team. But WSU, Tamu has not gotten to play a team that UPSET the supposedly tougher higher seeded teams.

And many think that Tamu, SMU were,are,etc, the 2 best teams in the NIT.

And not only has WSU DESTROYED these top, best, higher seeded, supposedly tougher teams, but have done so ON THE ROAD.

As good as Tamu is, has been, they haven't had to do it on the road, in the NIT, like WSU has done.

WSU can hang, win, beat Tamu. Not saying WSU will, just that they can, semi good, semi ok chance.

And on the other side of the bracket, Xavier, St Bonaventure, are not as good.

And if Xavier wins, they have just barely won, and can semi easily be beaten, probably beaten by either Tamu or WSU.

And if WSU either wins or destroys Tamu, they WSU will probably beat Xavier, or St. Bonaventure and win NIT.

So WSU has a semi good, semi ok chance to win NIT.

I wonder what the crowd will be like? Best tickets are $55, with some good, (but not great) seats remaining. You got to wonder who will be in those seats? Local New Yorkers? Tickets for clients?

I suppose there will be some east coast COUGS, but certainly not many. I could be wrong.

It'd be a fun venue to be there. A bucket list venue, for sure.

From the WSU radio post game this is the last MSG NIT Final Four (for now)

Did they elaborate? Where will it go? For how long? Why move?

"Mutual decision"

For 2023 & 2024 (at least)

Hinkel Fieldhouse or Vegas (why not Siggie Dome?)

Wish they still had the 3rd 4th game

aTm is the weirdest, cultiest school in America. I hope we crush them.

I had as much fun living in Texas as I have had anywhere in the US. Still miss it to this day. However, I think you could probably say that about the entire state.

Uhh....that school last night.....

of course, but 96 can't ever miss a chance to derail a thread with his partisan bullshit

If you took that as a partisan shot, that's on you. I made no reference whatsoever to politics. Nor was I referring to politics.

Touche. But aTm is really fuggin weird.

The weirdest cultiest school is probably Yale. But other Ivy League schools are right there with them.

Pile on me all you want folks but 96 is right. I saw nothing in his comment that was political, and the ironic thing is it’s that it’s a 4 large year university - regardless of the fact that it’s in Texas, the attending population probably leans left anyways, which if you interpreted his comment in that way would make zero sense. Don’t be so GD touchy.

TAMU is a huge rotc school and College Station is like the rest of Texas, highly conservative.

As 96 has contributed nothing to this board other than leftist trolling talking points, you'd be hard pressed to convince me that he wasn't making a conservative bash. "Cult" is pretty inflammatory for a public university, and in light of A) the fanaticism of the rest of the SEC and B) the fact that we actually played a school that's widely believed to be a cult, he knew exactly what he was saying.

I work with an aTm grad and he’s always super low key. Of course, they’ve let him down a lot in the past five years.

I did know exactly what I was saying, and quite clearly you did not know exactly what I was saying.

You misspelled Evergreen State College.

 

[CougSinceBirth]

I've had numerous people from Texas tell me A&M is the "cult" school in that state. The generalization in Texas is A&M fans are a different breed.

How I read it too. I know there’s been a lot of political back n forth on these boards and some people take it further than others but let’s chill out a bit and give people the benefit of the doubt.

I get it you have beef with him and I’m not going to argue with you about something that’s probably damn near impossible to verify. I’ll just say it’s probably a lot closer than you think considering 18-22 4 yr college educated, certainly not enough for “culty” to be a valid political description. With that I’d give him the benefit of the doubt that’s not where he was going. If he hasn’t earned that from you I guess that’s your call.
