Howdy Aggies,

Hats off to Coach G and the soccer team as they have once again made it into the Elite 8 and will make a run at another title. Very exciting and a huge stride for the team considering how many seniors graduated and the number of under classman are on the squad. They have a rough road ahead but have defeated North Carolina and had a huge win against Ole Miss that came down to penalty kicks.

Things have kicked off on the hardwood and basketball season is getting ready to start in full swing. Be sure to catch the men’s and women’s programs as there will be some exciting games this year. The men will have a rough Thanksgiving as they will be in the Bahamas for a tournament. They will be playing the t-sips while there so let’s hope they come out with a win. Both the programs have started off well and could be an exciting year.

On a final note, the volleyball team has won twelve straight and ranked nationally. Hitting their stride at the right time as we near the end of the season and begin a hunt for a national championship run.

GEORGETOWN SENIOR SIGNS WITH AGGIE VOLLEYBALL

Weekly Newsletter

Howdy Ags,

Rough weekend on the athletic front as the soccer team lost in the SEC Championship Tournament on Sunday against Florida.  The team was outscored 2-1, but did you know in the last three tournaments it was the first two goals they had allowed?  That’s right, they played almost three entire SEC tournament matches and allowed just 2 goals.  On a positive note, the team started 5 freshman on Sunday which means the future should be bright.  Hats off to Coach G and the team as they await their future NCAA location which will be announced on Monday.  Best of luck in their pursuit of a national championship.
I am sure many of us are scratching our heads regarding the football team.  Our high ‘high power’ offense struggled to say the least.  Another game at Kyle Field this week and if you are not able to make it to Aggieland, our watch party will get started at 6PM for a 6:30 kick-off against Western Carolina.  Our watch party will once again be at George’s so join us on the patio.
Things have kicked off on the hardwood and basketball season is getting ready to start in full swing.  Be sure to catch the men’s and women’s programs as there will be some exciting games this year.  On a final note, the volleyball team has won eight straight and is now 10-2 in SEC play.  Hitting their stride at the right time as we near the end of the season.

Thur: Networking Lunch | Sat: Hullabaloo Huddle

12 Oct

Weekly Newsletter

Howdy Ags,

October has arrived and the cool weather that teased us for a few days has disappeared.   With any luck it will soon return and the fall atmosphere will be in full swing. Plenty of Aggie athletics to occupy everyone’s interest, whatever it might be.

Coach ‘G’ and the soccer team had another shut-out at Ellis Field, this time against the Crimson team from T-town. You may also recall that the team was able to shut-out the Bulldogs prior to the football teams victory at Kyle Field. Let’s be optimistic that the string will continue!?!

Both golf teams have been traveling the country for various tournaments, making a promising showing for the program. Volleyball is in the thick of conference play and basketball starts in about 30 days. Hard to believe an entire slate of athletic activities on the horizon.

Of course the game that is on everyone’s mind is Saturday at 2:30 in Kyle Field as the Saban lead ‘Bama’ team comes to town. If you are making the trip over to Aggieland, be sure to leave early as larger than normal crowds are expected. The weather forecast, while possibly a little warm for October, should be ideal for tailgating. With an afternoon game you can start early, enjoy a great game and continue the festivities after. For those not making the trip east we will have our Hullabaloo Huddle (watch party) again and details on that are listed below.

HULLABALOO HUDDLE

If you are unable to make it to College Station this weekend make plans to join fellow Aggies for our watch party at George’s. The patio, as well as the bar, will be full of Ags and heighten the atmosphere as opposed to sitting at home. The Chef is working on something special out of the kitchen and Donny has a ‘bucket of beer’ special that will be perfect for a day on the patio while watching the Aggies BTHO Bama!

WEEKLY EVENTS

Join us this week for our networking lunch at Verdes in Round Rock. Close to IH-35 and easy access should make it easy for many to join us. If you are looking to expand your business network or just discuss Aggie sports, be sure to come out and join us.
