OUR VIEW: Win or lose, it’s a great time to be an Aggie
Most avid Aggie fans are accustomed to a certain routine every year. They support and cheer on Aggie football only to watch a season full of expectations and hope go down the drain. Then a special time of year comes around, where there is Aggie Men’s Basketball to cheer up the souls of those who just watched the football team end up on the bad side of a beatdown.
Things are a little different this year, however. As difficult to understand as Aggie football has been, they have given fans something to cheer about. Even though it’s a long shot, the Aggies could be bowl eligible, but no football win could compare to the epic beatdown they laid on BYU in front of a national audience. Even though the Aggies were less than stellar on the field after that victory, they have pulled off back-to-back wins, including one on the road.
It’s a great time to be an Aggie, especially tonight. Aggies will be going up against Cougars in another epic battle, except this time the battle will be on the hardwood, and it’s not in friendly territory. It’s not our job to predict a winner or poke fun at another university, but we will say that it is important to cheer on the Aggies and wear that true Aggie blue with pride.
The Cougars are No. 23 in the nation for a reason, and the Aggies will need every bit of support from fans to be victorious. No matter where you are you should be tuned into the game and yelling with all your might. For those at the game, you better consider yourself a member of the Spectrum on Wheels. Full artillery must be let loose as far as cheers and chants go. “I believe that we will win”, the constant annoying drone while BYU is on offense and all other chants based on bone-headed actions from the opponent are expected.
In all honesty the Marriott Center is a tough place for visiting opponents to play, but the Aggies have a not-so-secret weapon named Wild Bill Sproat. What will he have in his bag of costumes this time? Whatever he chooses, it will definitley be distracting to the Cougars.
The elements are all there for an upset but, win or lose, “Utah State, Hey Aggies all the way! Go Aggies! Go Aggies! Hey! Hey! Hey!”
