Like Finn says, the computer website is still messed up. Search for the seats you want and and call the ticket office. Don't put the seats you want in the online cart though. If you do that then the person at the ticket office can't see that the seats are available. Just tell them the seats you want and, once you complete your purchase, they can email them to you and you can print them at home. I like to print them myself so we don't show up at the Will Call window and find out that something is messed up again.

Be sure and let them know that the website is not working properly. It's been over a week now and it's still got problems and that's really NOT OK.

Have him contact Blue or whoever is in charge of the Aggie Pack. Right now the Aggie Pack is on life support.

I just stumbled across the Big10 Network replaying the Aggie at Indiana so I got to watch the second half. The team I saw playing Indiana was not the team we have seen in the previous games. They really looked good and we would have been right in game up to the end if it hadn't been for several shots that rolled off the rim and several untimely offensive fouls once Indiana caught fire from 3 and lit us up.

Our defense was solid and our switches, rotations and block outs were excellent against some elite talent. Our ball movement was crisp and quick and our penetration and kick out was very good. TJ was driving through traffic in the lane and our 3 point shooters were draining their shots. Caleb Fuller is making huge progress and is settling i to a starting role. This was by far our best basketball of the season.

If we can continue to play this way we'll be a very tough out and we could pull an upset or two in the upcoming games. I'd love to see a game where Schneider, John, Gonzalez, Mooney, Fuller and Printup are all feeling it and scorching the nets from outside. That would be awesome.

Hopefully, we are over our early season growing pains...

Let's hope the stars align!

This has been one of the worst seasons for Aggie Pack attendance that I can remember except for the game with ISU and there's little to no leadership for those that do show up.

You are spot on about casual fans not calling the ticket office to get tickets after they get frustrated with the online ticketing problems. Heck, I'm an avid fan and I get frustrated with the seemingly ongoing glitches in the ticket website.

My wife and I also donated to the general athletics fund last year. The level that we donated at listed several small "perks" that we would get as a result. One of them was to have our names listed in the donor section of the football programs handed out at each game. That didn't happen. Truthfully, it's not a big deal to us at all and we didn't bring it to anyone's attention but it might be a big deal to some donors. It's another example, though, of how it seems like things fall through the cracks too often at the athletics department.

It's going to be a pretty sad statement to the team if we play this game in front of a small home crowd.

I had the same problem a week ago and had to call to get tickets. I told them about the buggy online ticket problem and I'm not surprised that no one has fixed it yet. That seems to be par for the course with ticketing.

Most games are won in the trenches. Teams that have excellent players at the skill positions are neutralized if the QB doesn't have to make his reads and has to rush his throws and good RB's can't get going if the holes don't open up. The big question is whether or not the Aggie OL can protect Maier and get a push for Gilliam and Thomas and whether our D line can make it difficult for them to run. We're in the big leagues now...

Did you consult your Ouija board on that missed FG prediction?

Lamar is really mouthy. They are talking animated trash on about every defensive play they make. I'm surprised the officials are allowing that much trash talking.

We definitely belonged. We've been seeing some signs here and there that the team was coming around but the loss to Sac St kind of rained on the brief parade. I just hope that this game is indicative of what's to come with some consistency.

I have been questioning the wisdom of playing such a tough out of conference schedule given how things have been going but, to tell you the truth, I love these challenges. I would like to see this kind of scheduling continue in the future even if it means we lose a bunch of games and enter the conference with a losing record.

There are a lot of benefits that can come from games like this if we have enough talent to not get embarrassed each time out. Games against the power programs give us exposure to the "big leagues" and shows us where we want to go with the program and what it takes to compete at the next level. We also get a lot of media exposure and that can help with recruiting especially if we are competitive. Lastly, it gives the players a chance to play in great basketball environments against elite talent and we will certainly be battle hardened by the time league starts.

I say keep the challenges coming. Eventually we will upset a couple of these teams. We will take our lumps for sure but, in my opinion, this kind of scheduling can potentially have more benefits than disadvantages if we can keep our heads up. Iron sharpens iron so the saying goes...

They weren't outclassed at all...really very competitive...which makes some of the other really poor losses look even more glaring. I hoping it was just a perfect storm of Siler and Mooney being off their shooting game, TJ turning the ball over by trying to do too much, Fuller being new, AJ just not himself after battling an injury and everyone making mistakes on defense. Les has said that he feels good about the talent of this team so, even though I've been pretty dismayed about how things have gone, I think Les knows a lot more than me!

Look at how good AJ's shot looks in this highlights video:

Nice comments about the Aggies at about the 5:38 mark:

I'd actually take that over bitter cold with wind or cold with a rain deluge...

Right now it's a snow blizzard!

I hear ya. We are not a team that's going to blow anyone away with our offense but, as you said, we're improving.
