Boy, I have a lot invested in this game on Thurs

[MikeWaters]

unfortunately still not sure I can see it live.

But I will be rooting either way.

To you Trent Plaisted, I given the gift of desire to be on the block, 4 feet from the basket.

To you Lee Cummard, I give you the desire to have the ball in your hands, look for you shot, and take the ball to the hole.

To you Ben Murdock, I give the ability to not make stupid fouls and turn the ball over, and to hit the wide open 3 one out of two times.

To Tavernari, I give complete forgiveness for your past wrongs, and give you the shot that will turn the lights out.

To you Sam Burgess, I bless you with the ability to drive to the whole and finish, and draw fouls.

To you Chris Collinsworth, I give you the ability to hit 2 3-pointers near the end of the 2nd half, when no one is expecting it.

And to you Jimmer Fredette, I give all gifts, everything--the shot, the steal, the assist, the drive, the charge--I bless you that you will be on the lips of every Aggie fan Friday morning, "Who was that guy!!!"

To Mike Loyd and Archie Rose, I give you the gift of garbage minutes at the end of the game, not because we are getting crushed, like against UNLV, but actually crushing.

Please do not waste your gifts.

This brought a tear to my eye.

Hell, 1 out of 3 times would be an improvement for him. I wouldn't complain if he lived up to the position he plays and actually made a couple plays for teammates either.
