Sad Football Weekend

About the macaroni and cheese I served with dinner, Lauren just said, "It's better than Kraft macaroni and cheese. That stuff tastes bland... like my childhood." Ahahahaaa! "Wait. I mean... it tastes bland and it also tastes like my childhood."

No no. Don't dig a hole there. Hehe.

We were heartbroken about the loss to Auburn on Saturday. I did have a couple of ah-ha moments though:

1) Our defense is made up of tiny guys (relatively, of course). The Auburn offense either carried our players for several yards or simply flicked a defender out of the way on several occasions. Our defenders are mostly freshmen and also probably recruited at the tail end of the Big 12 days, where as a conference, the players are smaller. Our guys will be bigger and more experienced next year.  We'll also continue bringing in our newly recruited "corn-fed SEC boys" as Angel calls them, over time.

2) Interceptions are an expected cost of the "big play" Aggie offense. Our offense (one of the best in the NCAA) makes HUGE plays. Johnny passes into six defenders and one of our exceptional receivers comes up with the amazing catch. They do it all afternoon and everyone friggin' loves it. Every now and then, one of those passes is going to be tipped or go into a defender's hands. Fabulous plays outnumber interceptions 25 to 1. It's a statistical expectation. All of Johnny's stats are better than last year, except for interceptions, so there ya' go.

Again I heard several AU fans (including my friend Stephanie) commenting about the ever gracious Aggie fans. So awesome!

In related news, we may actually get our season tickets for 2015 after all. We're not happy with the process or the possible fix, but we'll see what happens!
