And it's all on Stansbury. With Andy Kennedy or Darrin Horne on our bench, we win by 30 or more.
Maybe the evening could be redeemed if Stansbury's family could be injured in a car wreck on the way back to the hotel, but this has to be consideredyet another opportunity lost...

Interesting tidbit... we were Maroon and White AND we were the Aggies before TAMU. We changed from Aggies to Marons in the 20s, I think. Somewhere in there. <div>
