Just sign a LOI with us Martellus!!!!

[AggieJohn]

http://www.aggiesports.com/football/photos/012305bennett.jpg
This is Alief TE Martellus Bennett,(in the white jersey) he was making his official visit to A&M last saturday and came to the K.State Game, He was welcomed and signed Autos. He also was helping out to lead yells. This is the No.1 TE in the nation, and he's got his choices down to A&M and guess who Texas....he is also considering being a dual sport athlete by playing bball for A&M. Fran went and saw him play bball last thursday during an in-home visit

[rholl]

and be subjected to 4 more years of losing to UT!!!

Or watch the Rose Bowl and see how UT's TE's were used often ...then head over to Austin.

[kepdawg]

He's making a visit to LSU next weekend.

[Bulldog_12]

He was really cool. It was fun to see him in the student section doing the yells and the fight song. It was also kinda funny, in my opinion, to give the hook em horns upside down. Now I dont know if that is his own way of saying he is leaning towards A&M..........but Ill take it. ha ha

[AggieJohn]

javorskie did the same thing when he played at Kyle in a playoff game this year

[Phil C]

I wonder if it had been better to have had him between two of the lady aggies though. :)

[Bullaholic]

Maybe we should just send him greetings from the President of the United States, Phil....

we had one guy who got pulled over with weed and you make a big deal out of it

just kidding, i don't condone that, but actually to my knowledge, the offseason before last when we had all those arrests, they were all Slocum's recruits and not Frans...but then again, i could be mistaken

[sahen]

Fran is running the ship now...i dont remember that many ending up in jail as last season ever when Slocum was there, i could be wrong though....that said, im thinkin that was a fluke thing, atleast hoping it was just a stroke of bad luck for yall...as much as i dont lik eyall, i dont want any texas school turning into a miami or florida state...

let's see, last week you come on here and use the term t-sip to describe someone from UT. i ask a question on how many bowl games a&m has won, then you accuse me of bashing a school. only to you that would make sense. not surprising though

We're not mad AggieJohn and most of us were just trying to be humorous but maybe inadvertently got into the bad taste mode unintentionally. We thank you for the report and hope you keep the updates.

2. how many bowl games have they played in and won the last 15 years.
1. Two (97 and 98), with one Big XII Overall Championship (98, over K-State).

2. They've played in 12 bowls, one more than Texas, going 3-9 in those bowls. Meanwhile, their rivals to the west went 5-6 in their Bowl games, a much better mark than the Aggies.


More Questions:
1. Over those same 15 years (dating back to the 1990 season), who has been ranked #1 in the real poll (the AP, not the ESPN poll) more weeks?

2. Which team has played in more top-tier Bowl Games (Sugar, Rose, Orange, Peach or Cotton through 97; Sugar, Rose, Fiesta or Orange from 98-Present) in their past 12 postseasons?

3. Finally, in those last 12 bowls, which team has played in more games with a National Championship on the line?


*Edited* I realized that my original answer was wrong on #2.

Now, Russ, you wouldn't happen to know the answer to your questions before you asked them, now would ya'?

until a&m beats texas and baylor in the same year, and contends for the big 12 title, all of this is pointless......let a&m win something to prove themselves...

When I was growing up A&M fans always, and I mean ALWAYS had the edge over the Longhorn and us Tech/Baylor fans (yes, I rooted for the Raiders and Bears from the SWC... but my favorite team always has and always will be Auburn). They always won and were the ones in the hunt for the national titles. During UT's 90-91 season, though, my friends who supported UT finally got their due. I was in junior high and UT pulled off eight straight wins to close out the season and take their #3 ranking into the Cotton Bowl. That was the year before Auburn went undefeated but was on NCAA Probations. Ahhhh, memories.

I didn't become an A&M fan until I visited each of the campuses my senior year. I still liked Baylor (hell, I used to go there every summer for Mickey Sullivan's Baseball Camp) but soured on both UT and Tech after my visits.

what ball players is going to want to come in that case

Texas has always been open...

Oh and i'm still confused how some say we share a national title back in the thirties besides the one we won in '39

Russ any help?

[rholl]

Notre Dame didn't go co-ed til 72. No handicap there.

AJ.....I just refuse to believe that the sexual orientation of Aggies before the fifties had anything to do with athletic successes....;)

[Bulldog_12]

I thought that would have been an advantage to us. No stinking women to distract the players from practicing.:D

Originally posted by AggieJohn

Russ any help? No help here. Texas has more NC's. But you're right... A&M did have a shared national title back in 1919. I want to say they shared it with either Harvard or Notre Dame, but I can't remember exactly whom. Don't quote me on this one, but I think the selecting committe back then was called the National Championship Foundation. Most schools, though, didn't start actually recognizing themselves as national champion until the Associated Press pulled together their system back in '35.

No matter how you look at it... whether you count that title or not... UT still has at least one up on A&M. But Auburn's been gypped twice now. You tack that onto their championship in '57 and the one in the old days and they're one up on UT.:D :D :D

[PhiI C]

Did you all know that the Lady Aggies have a softball national championship. I think it was in 1982.

[big daddy russ]

I didn't know that, Phil.

[PhiI C]

Originally posted by big daddy russ
I didn't know that, Phil.

It was actually 1983 big when the Lady Aggies beat Cal St. Fullerton in 12 innings 2 to 0 in the National Championship Game (the softball playoffs for the national championship began in 1982). Big I also overlooked that the Lady Aggies also won it in 1987 when the Lady Aggies beat UCLA for the national championship 4 to 1. So the Lady Aggies have two national championships in softball. Except for these two and Oklahoma's national championship in 2000 the national champions have been from California or Arizona with UCLA winning 11, Arizona 6 and one each for California, Cal St.-Fullerton, and Fresno State.

The Lady Aggies making all tournament in 1983 were Patti Holthaus, 2b, Cindy Cooper, 3b, Iva Jackson (no position listed), Lori Stoll, p, and Gay McNutt,c (Gay was a common name back then before it had a new definition that is common now).

The Lady Aggies making all tournament in 1987 were Julie Smith, 1b, Liz Mizera, ss, and Shawn Andaya, p.

[AggieJohn]

they came out with thier first rank today, 23rd

[Phil C]

The Lady Aggies were runner ups two years also in 1986 when they lost the final game to Cal St. Fullerton 3 to 0 and in 1984 when they lost to UCLA 1 to 0 in 13 innings. In 1984 Lady Aggie all tournament players were Josie Carter (no position given) and Gay McNutt, c. (Remember Gay had a different meaning when she was named that as a baby). In 1986 the Lady Aggie all tournament players were Judy Trussell, 2b, Liz Mizera, ss, Shawn Andaya, p, and Cindy Cooper, al (whatever that is).

[Phil C]

UT came close to winning it all in 2002. Had they beat UCLA in the semis I think they would have beat California in the finals but it would have been close (UCLA did beat California 3 to 1). UT had a 1 to 0 lead with just one out to win the semis but UCLA started hitting and the UT outfield went apart and UCLA scored two runs to win the game. The CAT (Catherine Osterman - the UT pitcher) was great though but the team fell short.

[AggieJohn]

[crabman]

Back to the original point of this thread, I was at my first game ever at Reed Arena on Saturday. Even my daughter knew who the guy on the floor leading the yells was. Well kind of. She knew he was the #1 recruit in the nation in something. Didn't know what sport or what position but she knew he was important.

[Bulldog_12]

I just found this out, but Bennet plans to announce his decision on the 31st. So four more days and we can put this thread to rest.

[AggieJohn]

i thought it was the 1sy on foxsports southwest that he was going to do it

[Bulldog_12]

Rivals.com has that he will officially announce on the 31st. Wether its true or not, I have no idea,

[AggieJohn]

i was watching southwest recruiting and they were talking to him on the phone....u think we get him?

[Bulldog_12]

I think we do. Just the way he talks about the school, and if he really enjoyed his visit like he says he did. But who knows.

[AggieJohn]

he is also the same guy that said that he couuld have fun in Antartica....so i don't know, if he's going for fun, he'll prolly go t.u.

[Phil C]

Sorry everyone but now the rumor is that he has decided to sign up with Texas A&M at Kingsville!! Go Hogs!! :)

[AggieJohn]

i think frans son coached there last year, he's coaching at blinn now

[PhiI C]

Remember you heard it here first. He will be signing with Texas A&M. But hopefully Texas can still get Ryan Perrilloux.

You beat me on that because my sources tell me that Perrilloux has decided to go to LSU. But there will be some good news for UT fans later.

i'm being told that Perriloux really like his visit to LSU

yeah...word is that martellus didn't like his trip to LSU alot, but however perriloux feels more at home....

anyway, FOX sports at 10 tonight, "tellus" will tell us where he's going
