by Chris Ello on November 8, 2009

Damn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.

The San Diego State Aztecs lost Saturday afternoon to the No. 1 team in the country. You think I care what the polls say? You think it bothers me that every so-called expert in the nation would disagree with me?

Aztecs Throw One Away, TCU Takes It

April 26, 2009

ShareIn a game where all of TCU’s chips were in the center of the table, an unwise gamble by SDSU proved to be their undoing.  Andrew Leary’s throwing error on the old fake-to-third, throw-to-first allowed the Horned Frogs to tie the game and set up the winning run in the 8th, as TCU came back [...]

It Was What It Was

March 2, 2009

Share There is hope, expectation, and reality.  We all hope for a great sports weekend every Friday, but sometimes it’s just not that great.  My personal sports weekend was a consistent mild disappointment.  The Lakers lost twice, SDSU’s men’s basketball team coughed up another big 2nd half lead and needed OT to beat lowly TCU, [...]
