There is no need to declare my allegiance. Pretty sure everyone knows. But what everyone may not know is how intense the ill will is between Texas A&M and Texas. Having been a part of that rivalry I can tell you that I have never seen anything like it. It’s been over 10 years since both schools were in the same conference and the two teams have never met before in the CWS. The game will be white hot and must see TV even if you have no dog in the hunt. A&M has had a phenomenal year but this team isn’t built to win a double elimination 8 team tournament. They are too thin on the mound. And every infielder is a defensive liability. But they pound the baseball and there is no quit in them. They are fun to watch. What Jim Schlossnagle has done in one year is absolutely amazing. He understands how to build a brand as well as he does the on the field stuff. The excitement is back in Aggie baseball and I expect them to be even better next year.
