My, how quickly things change
My light holiday posting was even lighter today as I've been dealing with some technical issues. But I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the glow of the Aggies' late November victory over the Longhorns is now officially gone after the Cal Bears thumped the Ags 45-10 in last night's Holiday Bowl.
Meanwhile, the best crack of the bowl season came at halftime of the Houston-South Carolina LIberty Bowl game. After a wild first half that ended with Houston leading 28-17, the sideline reporter asked South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier as he headed to the locker room: "How do you defend the explosive Houston offense?" Coach Spurrier replied with a wry grin: "Obviously, not how we're doing it."

I wonder which Aggie fans would prefer: a narrow victory over Texas and getting blown out in a bowl, or losing badly to Texas and winning a bowl game. If I were an Ag, I'd reluctantly prefer the first option, I think.
Too bad about UH. But they stood toe-to-toe with a South Carolina team that only lost to ranked opponents *and* the offense was tearing up the field, which should help recruit offensive players (and maybe some defensive ones, if defensive recruits can convince themselves that they're a half-decent defense away from some really big wins).
