I know we have one for bowls in general, but I thought we do one just for us.
I think we won the Singing Comp

In Monday’s Liberty Bowl, Texas A&M faces off against one of the teams that replaced it in the Big 12: West Virginia. The Mountaineers had an up-and-down 7-5 year in 2014, going 5-4 in the conference with several close losses to highly ranked opponents.
Who are the most important Mountaineers for Aggies fans to keep their eyes on when the teams hit the field in Memphis?
QB Skyler Howard: The Aggies were likely preparing to face Clint Trickett, the Mountaineers senior quarterback, but earlier this week he announced that he is retiring from football as he deals with the effects of multiple concussions. Howard made one start in Trickett’s place this year, throwing for 285 yards and three touchdowns against Iowa State in the season finale. He has some running ability as well, going for 69 yards in his start.
WR Kevin White: Texas A&M’s secondary will have its hands full with White. The Biletnikoff finalist looks like a tight end or linebacker with his thick 6-foot-3 frame, and he’s a load for any defensive back. He went for 102 catches, 1,318 yards and nine scores in 2014. The senior is capable of using his physical dominance or impeccable technique to beat defenses.
WR Mario Alford: Whereas White is a beast, Alford uses his speed and quickness to be a major deep threat for the Mountaineers. He led WVU with 10 receiving scores this year and racked up 888 receiving yards.
DE Shaquille Riddick: West Virginia runs a three-man defensive front, with Riddick coming in as the leading sack man with 6.0. The senior is a bit undersized at only 240 pounds, but has the speed to give Texas A&M’s offensive line some issues.
K Josh Lambert: The Mountaineers have one of the best special teams weapons in the country in Lambert. The sophomore was 27-for-36 in the regular season, including 15-for-22 from 40 or more yards. If West Virginia so much as crosses into A&M territory, Lambert has the leg to bang home a field goal.

Seems to be alot of apathy around this game from the Aggie faithful. Hope the team doesn't feel the same way. Losing to a middling Big12 team would be a really bad way to finish off this season. I'm intrigued to see how we perform.

Hour outside of Memphis, it's wet and cloudy but going to hit up central bbq and then get the partying started, can't wait

Playing a Big12 team, and with a chance to get to 8 wins. Goodness, that's 100x better than losing to a Big12 average team and finishing 7-6.

Have fun!
If you run into Finest, kick him in the nads. And don't worry, you can't hurt him.

There is, and that's a shame, imo.
Should be a good one.

Yup. I have heard many more Ags talk excitedly about watching the Arky game instead of ours.
Not me though, I asked off work to watch it.

Yep. It's hard to fathom. I understand that folks are disappointed in the season. But it's almost as if folks are acting like this bowl is suddenly beneath us. I find that bizarre.

I think 0-59 activated a mega case of BAS. I haven't heard anyone who expects us to win. That mitigates some of the excitement I bet.
I am excited. I think it is a good test, and I love playing an "upgrade."

I expect a good game. Hope we can find a way, and I think we will.

Maybe we won't have a meltdown in the game thread this year if we start losing. That Duke thread from last year is still one of the best reads on this board. Such a damn roller coaster but we were fricking pumped in those final 5 minutes.

I ran that one. I couldn't update it between the end of the 2nd quarter and through the first five minutes of the third quarter. that in of itself had the rant losing its shite

Dear lawd, that was the worst defense ever seen. I remember Johnny screaming: "just get me 1 f'n stop!"

Looks like you tried to invoke one of those Arab aloha snackbar screams right in the middle there.
