Interesting champ game. I like it! The fact that we both had to beat our nemisis to get here is also pretty cool. I'm very proud of the girls just for getting this far. Now it's time to send the Irish home as First Losers! :lol:
It should be an interesting game, we have some good bigs...none as bulky as Dannelle Robinson but one does have a last name that ends in "ski". Your guards might be quicker than ours and that might bother Skylar Diggins somewhat, the other guard is a white girl so you know she's slow and can't jump! Of course this does pit me against the family...so be it!!
I'll be wearing a G-Man Original Tee-Shirt tonight for the game!! How many of you guys still have one of these! The inside scoop on this is that Gerry original design was Jig'em Irish...a play off of Gig'em Aggies. ...but the Tee-Shirt shop messed it up! Makes it even more of a G-Man classic!!
Unrelated but in the category of thank god for unanswered prayers!!! This from the Austin American Statesman.
Wild first half, Aggies looked like they would run the Irish out of the building, but the Irish finally stopped the bleeding and went on a run of their own.
Great game and great win for the Aggies. Danniel Adams was the difference, she was money when she got the ball in deep. Tough Aggie defense also threw off Irish 3pt shooters. Congrats to the Aggies and Scott!
I agree with Terry. Their defense took ND out of rythm in the 2nd half, and we had no answer for Adams. She's a heck of a player. We still hung tough, but it was the Aggies' night to shine. You gotta like Gary Blair, the Aggie head coach. Congratulations, Scott.
Congrats Scott What a much easier game to watch than last night's brick throwing contest. Good back and forth game. Better team took control at the end.
Thanks guys! Wow, that was a real champ game! "Good" games are always better to talk about later, but hard to live through. Two teams that wanted it equally, but one late bucket that falls makes the difference. Last night it went in for the Aggies. Very proud of the girls. They played this tournament like they were on a mission, and now it's complete. That is their first national champ... hopefully not the last.
Gary Blair's acceptance speech was very classy, he gave props to the Irish, Coach McGraw and named each Irish starter and said something positive. And Scott's right the inbound shot by Tyra White with 2 secs on the clock very late was the dagger. I was thinking we still had a shot and assumed we'd get a shot clock violation..but boom in it went 3 pointer! Money.... Next to Danielle Adams, White was the reason the Aggies won the game.
Ags are becoming a rounded athletic program. Womens Basketball-National Champions. Equestrian-Multiple Team and Individual National Champions. Men's Golf- Recent National Champions Men's and Women's Track and Field-Back to Back National Champions. Women's Soccer--for the last 10 years G. Guerreri has had them knocking on door of National Title. Baseball- back in NCAA tourney each year and competing for CWS. Men's Basketball-light years of where we were before Bill Byrne arrived. Turgeon is great. Football-improving each year under Sherman and shared B-12 South title. Softball-recent national runner-up to Arizona State in national Championship game. Competitive basically in all sports. Can't think of any sports where Ags don't compete favorably on a conference level and in many cases NCAA playoff level in multiple sports. Dollar Bill indeed, you need to pay more Scott!!!
All true. But have no fear... he does get his. I'm very happy with where the AD is headed. My only heartburn with BB came when he dropped that raise and contract extension on Franphony before any evidence was there he deserved it. It's going to take a while to get the taste of that one out of my mouth.... Oh... and he can be a bit condescending at times.
