The Aggies pulled out a 38-30 upset over the 13th ranked Texas Longhorns Friday.Perhaps more surprising is the basketball Aggies improving to 6-0 with a 70-47 win over Ohio State and capturing the NIT Season Tip-Off title that same day. This is a program with no pedigree to speak of in the Big 12 and the Southwest Conference before that. A program that was best known for the witticisms of former coach and SWC legend Shelby Metcalf. The coach who once told (as the legend goes) a player with 4 F's and a D that he was focusing too much on one subject.
But under Billy Gillispie and now under Mark Turgeon the Aggie hoopsters remain a Big 12 and national contender.
Oh, and by the way, so long Fran.
