A&M wins to bring it to a 5-3 record (guest post by Brendan)

The yearly match up between Texas Tech and Texas A&M in college football never meant anything to me (Brendan) until I started dating Anne in 2003. She went to TTU and me to A&M - so one Saturday a year  since 2003 we sit on different sides of the couch and try not to engage the other in conversation until the game is wrapped up in the fourth quarter.

Based on the results below, you would think that I would stop watching the games....but the frustrating thing is that A&M is the traditional football school and TTU is just some small school close to New Mexico. I blame myself for a lot of the struggles of A&M over the past 11yrs - since I started my freshman year. In 1998 they won the Big 12 Championship, had one of the longest home winning streaks and still rated well with ESPN and other top news agencies as the place to watch football. Since I arrived on campus - 3 coaching changes, terrible bowl record and nothing more than wasted opportunities by the end of the year. To make matters worse for my school...I go and marry a Red Raider (although amazing, beautiful and loving - she is still the enemy one Saturday a year)!

Here are the results since Anne and I started dating.......

2003 - TTU (first game ever with Anne - A&M killed in Lubbock)

2004 - A&M (overtime victory at Kyle Field)
2005 - TTU (A&M killed again in Lubbock)

2006 - TTU (they stole the game on the rode in College Station)
2007 - TTU (A&M killed again in Lubbock - do you see the trend)

2008 - TTU (4 yrs in a row....oh man!)

2009 - A&M (CG is the good luck charm - Gig'em!!)

2010 - A&M (In Hong Kong, Aggies win while I sleep)

2011 - TTU or A&M?

Stay tuned as the games will continue to be played one Saturday a year! Enjoy a few pictures from the years below:
