Dear Jay BiASS

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

First you said the Aggies needed to beat t.u. The Aggies won by three.

Then you said the Aggies needed to beat Tech and not have a let down game. Aggies by 15.

Then you said the Ags were playing in a CU-A&M eliminitation game and pimped the Buffs. Ags by 27.

Now you say the Ags nee to beat t.u. again to make the NCAAs, all the way getting on your mother fucking knees for any east coast team with a pulse.

So I say fuck you, you fucking cunt. Suck my mother fucking A&M dick, you fucking east coast whore.

From the AAC, Aggie Hoopsfan is out like Jay's mom at a frat party.

[Extra Stout]

A&M is in. It doesn't matter what Jay Bilas says. Big 12 gets four bids, unless things get wacky. Bilas may be pimping to get BOTH Seton Hall and Cincinnati in, but it's futile at this point. The Big East isn't going to get 9 bids while the Big 12 gets just 3.

[Peter]

Win tomorrow and there are no more excuses.

[Extra Stout]

Win tomorrow and there are no more excuses.
Oh, I imagine Jay Bilas could figure out excuses all the way until the point A&M won the tournament and got an automatic bid.

[Peter]

Well, for the portion of non-coifed and Consort-ed humanity.

[hussker]

aTm is in, Jay Bil ASS is just that. And a friggin' hot air bag. My Japaggie wife and I were watching when he said that crap tonight and she was livid...When I told her who it was (because the coward did not show face while making statement) she said, "Oh the dude who got dissed by an Aggie Chick? HAHAHAHA

She EVEN knows the story and I do not! Shame!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The Aggies could win their next 8 games and win the national championship, and Jay Bilas would still be rambling on ESPN that the Ags need to win two more to make the tourney.

I hope he's wherever the Ags play in the first round next week, I want to walk up to him and kick that fag in the junk.

I WANNA WATCH!

[Horry For 3!]

I hope Duke vs North Carolina play for the ACC championship, that would be sweet

[samikeyp]

I love it when Bilas has to prop UNC....its fun to watch him almost gag on those words.

I agree...the Ags should be in. Didn't they win like 6 in a row to end the season including the win over UT? That win and the beatdown of CU in the Tourney IMO gets them in. Fuck the Big East getting 9.

[Obstructed_View]

I bet Bilas has a grudge against A&M, because like everyone who didn't go there, it's the center of his universe. :rolleyes

North Carolina lost by 3 :depressed

The word on the street is that he was set to get married about 4 years ago to an Aggie woman, and she stood him up the altar.

Hence, the bias.

Okay, I have no response to that. That's so ridiculous sounding it's probably true. :)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Suck it BiASS.

[hussker]

aTm over the CUSE, but they get drubbed by LSU...t.u. and Duke meet in the ATL region Final

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beat by LSU? Whaaaaaaat? We're going to be playing Duke in two weeks. Bring 'em on.

[Horry For 3!]

Jay Bilas says A&M will give Syracuse lots of trouble but he thinks Syracuse will prevail but lose to LSU in the Second round. Funny thing is, his bracket was the same as mine :pctoss

[Horry For 3!]

Does that make me an "expert"?

[Willinsa]

Here is the reason the national media was aganist the Ags.

Southern W 88-44 --
Miss. Valley St. W 84-53 --
Tulane W 83-57 --
Penn St. W 60-55 --
North Texas W 72-70 --
Grambling St. W 101-71 --
Savannah St. W 67-34 --
Auburn W 72-67 --
Texas Southern W 81-56
Northwestern St. W 73-61

Other than Pacific not a very impressive non conference schedule.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So what? Look who we played in conference. Go check out some of the schedules of those MVC schools and get back to me.


Does that make me an "expert"?

Hmm, Bilas got exactly 1 of his 8 bubble picks right, don't quick your day job :lol

[Horry For 3!]

You don't know who is right until the games are over.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry For 3 -

I think you misunderstood. They did an IN or OUT segment on ESPN prior to the selection show, and rattled off eight bubble teams and asked him whether they were in or out.

The only one he got right was FSU being out.

:lmao

Oh. I thought you meant upsets, nevermind.

[IcemanCometh]

aggy played a weak schedule to make their record look like something its not.

Last i checked aggy isn't a mid-major, they may act like div 1aa but they are actually in a real conference and expected to compete.

[Jimcs50]

Auburn was in Final 4 recently, and Penn St is in Big 10, the Ags can not help it that those two teams did not play well this year.

They won 8 straight Big 12 games, that is the longest streak in the Big 12 by any team this year.....nuff said

[Extra Stout]

An A&M victory over Syracuse makes sense as a 12-over-5 upset special for your office bracket.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

aggy played a weak schedule to make their record look like something its not.

Well, conference play anyway, we played the same schedule you guys did. I guess applying your logic you didn't play anyone either, just an inflated record in conference of of weak teams...

[Horry For 3!]

There is something about Kent State and Wintrop that I like...

[Peter]

aggy played a weak schedule to make their record look like something its not.

So the Big 12 is that weak?




Last i checked aggy isn't a mid-major, they may act like div 1aa but they are actually in a real conference and expected to compete.

UT seemed to have trouble with the team with an inflated record.

[IcemanCometh]

you know ahf you really are dumb.

last i checked texas played villanova, duke, west virginia, memphis,tennesse,and iowa.

who did aggy play out of conference?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

aggy played a weak schedule to make their record look like something its not.

Ice, where did I say anything about non-conference? You're the dumb one.


aggy played a weak schedule to make their record look like something its not.

So our 10-6 conference record, and half our win total, came against the same schedule in conference as you guys. Is that weak?

[IcemanCometh]

look face it, you're dumb and your team sucks

[Willinsa]

look face it, you're dumb and your team sucks


:lol

[Willinsa]

If Billy G thinks his team is great why does he not schedule a major school out of conference game on the road. The only non-conference team they played on the road that was decent (Pacific) and they lost.

So yes they did pad their record playing their 1st 10 games at home aganist shit teams.

[Ginofan]

Oh jeez louise. You guys are never satisfied. The Aggies made the tourney, just live with it. If they had ended up at the NIT you would've found something wrong with that as well. Get over yourselves.

It's only the second year of the rebuilding, give it time. With the new supposed studly recruits coming in next year I'd expect to see a couple "major schools" on the schedule.

[j-6]

I'm sure a lot of our Aggie friends here are in various stages of arousal over the fact that they're in a 5-12 matchup against a 'Cuse team they can thug up and outmuscle to a degree, and there are even some folks in a mescaline-induced fever about upsetting LSU and getting a shot at the Dookies, but let's get one thing straight.

Texas A&M is lucky to be here. Don't get me wrong, I gotta give credit to any team that goes .500 or better in the Big 12 no matter how lame their non-conference sked was (especially with Antoine Wright leaving early over the summer), but your team isn't better than Cincinnati's, Maryland's, Michigan's or Louisville's, either.


So what? Look who we played in conference. Go check out some of the schedules of those MVC schools and get back to me.

There's a MVC school (Missouri State) with an RPI over twenty points higher than the Aggies with four Top 50 wins to your teams' one, and they're in the NIT. I wouldn't give five bids to that conference either, but three out of their four teams that did qualify are seeded better than the 12 that A&M got.

edit: Also, I really don't see Syracuse losing in the first round again after the Vermont debacle last year.

[Peter]

...but they're still in the dance, right?

[j-6]

...but they're still in the dance, right?


:lol

It's a night game on Thursday, right?

[Peter]

Works for me.

[Willinsa]

You are right, but I think they would get more exposure playing a better OOC schedule. We will see who they play next year.

[cecil collins]

Bla bla bla, angry aggies. They played a weak non conference schedule, and the big 12 did seem weak this year. I guess I have no problem with A&M being in and I think they have a shot at an upset.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Billy G thinks his team is great why does he not schedule a major school out of conference game on the road. The only non-conference team they played on the road that was decent (Pacific) and they lost.

They had contracts with Gonzaga, Georgia Tech, and Notre Dame lined up. But all the schools wanted A&M to play on their campus, but come play the "home game" with A&M in either Houston or Dallas (where the best recruits in the state are).

Billy said either play us at Reed on A&M's campus or change it so we'll come play in the nearest big city to you.

That didn't work out, so we had to scramble and picked up Southern, Savannah State, and I can't remember who the 3rd one was.


look face it, you're dumb and your team sucks

:lmao sip denial, I love it.

I think if I was Billy I would take the game no matter what, true you lose some home gate money but you can get some good press.

[Oscar DeLa]

I don't know what it is but no one sounds like a real Aggy until they exclusively refer to coach Gillespe by his first and middle name

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It wasn't so much about the gate money as it was about not giving a name school an easy opportunity to come into recruiting rich Dallas and Houston to try and cherry pick some kids out of those two cities for themselves.

[cecil collins]

Fuck notre dame.

You get what you play for...

Until Gillispie, at least for the last 20 yrs, the aTm program was just a "cheap date" for aggies to waste some time with an Aggie dog and Soda on DOLLAR night and wait for Maroon-White football scrimmage game in April. Big schools do not go to play "non-contenders" out of conference for the same reasons that most of you post that aTm should not be contender. It takes time to build. Billy Clyde knows that and he and Bill Byrne figured that into the "building equation" for aTm hoops. It just happened to come along earlier due to a very strong Big XII finish.

No fault to the Ags for a weak OOC schedule. That is the way it goes historically until the big out of conference teams see you as a viable option and risk for a potential win. Look for the Ags to get that chance in some preseason tournaments next year that they had NO WAY of getting into this year.

Ags are way ahead. Just to get there this year is a victory for the program. A win on Thursday would be HUGE, even if they go no farther (although Billy Clyde would vehemently disagree with that). I do not give them a chance vs LSU if they win on Thursday vs the CUSE, but it is a start.
