Wow, busy weekend. Yesterday the sport extravaganza started at 3:00 with Aggie Baseball against Arkansas (we won 7-5). Emily, Jeff, and Ryan (Jeff's roommate at Michigan) came with us. Next Matt and I dropped in on softball for a bit, and then we headed out for some BBQ at Rudy's. Then back to Olsen Field to see the Aggies defeat New Mexico 2-1. So Friday produced three stamps for the old 12th Man Team Rewards Card.

Today we headed out early to watch some men's tennis at noon against UTSA. We won 7-0. We wandered over to Reed Arena to see the last men's home basketball game (they lost to Colorado 70-76...way to go, 0-14 in the Big XII). Emily joined us at this point for some softball before baseball at 3:00 against New Mexico (we won 11-10). We were late because of softball and had to sit in the right field bleachers. Boo. Then some more softball (lost), tennis (won), and baseball (lost 4-6, first loss of the season)! We left baseball pretty early to get some dinner at Souper Salad. Now we're home (whew).

All told, Matt and I got 10 stamps on our cards in the last 48 hours. We both hit the 24 mark and got our maroon A&M visors - very spiffy. Now we're not worried about being able to make it to 36 for our baseball jerseys. Some things learned during this remarkable sporting journey:
-sitting in the right field bleachers isn't fun...there are little kids there screeching and people don't do all the yelling and heckling you get in the student section
-softball is boring...and tiny - like, 20 of their fields could fit in Olsen Field
-tennis is surprisingly fun to watch. it made me want to play it too, which is more than i can say for softball
-the arkansas 1st base coach really needs to get in/get out of the box and for god's sake, stop squatting like that ( oh, and touch his butt)
-the men's basketball team SUCKS...how can they get so close to winning so many times and NEVER win? i feel sorry for them...especially for scrappy (leandro garcia-morales) - i like him, he's like a little steve nash
-aggie baseball rules

Tomorrow I need to get some homework and studying done. I'm determined to do more periodic studying and less last minute studying for anatomy. Hopefully it works out. I should probably study for microbiology too (test Thursday). I am SO pumped about going to the mini-ranch next weekend. I hope the weather's as nice as it was the last couple days (sans wind, that was a little excessive).
