I think I’m getting out of here at
the right time, because all hell is
about to break loose.
I’m graduating next week, so I
(hopefully) won’t be around to wit
ness A&M’s entrance into the Big
12, and what could possibly be the
demise of Aggie spirit as we know it.
You see, what most of the 42,999
people here who are blinded with
red-ass don’t realize is that Aggie
spirit is, for the most part, a mar
riage of convenience. We pack the
stands of Kyle Field when the
weather is nice and the team is win
ning. We made the road trip to the
Colorado game because it was a
novelty and, face it, it was a good
excuse to skip Friday classes.
The rest of the traditional Aggie
road trips, like Baylor and Texas
Tech, have always been afternoon
drives, and we could crash with our
friends from high school who are
scattered at other SWC schools if
we didn’t feel like driving back.
There were parties to go to after the
game, and we usually won.
I can’t wait to see how many of
you maroon-bleeding school skip
pers haul your asses up to Utah to
see us knock heads with BYU and
party all night afterwards in Salt
Lake City.
Yeah, right. If the beer isn’t
flowing, the Aggies aren’t going. I’ve
been here for four years. I’ve regret
tably learned these things.
I’m sure many people will brave
missed tests and the wrath of state
troopers this year to see the Aggies
lose (sorry, be outscored) mercilessly

novelty of driving 3,000 miles every
other weekend will fade away after
a year or so.
I wish I could honestly say that,
after four years of being “on the in
side” of this world-class University,
that I believe Aggie spirit is some
thing more than an excuse to get to
gether and party and act obnoxious
ly because our football team is bet
ter than everyone else’s.
For the next few years, though,
barring any miracles, it’s going to be

Texas Tech.
As it has done seemingly all
year regardless of sport, Texas
Tech University claimed another
Southwest Conference champi
onship Sunday, grabbing first
place in the final men’s SWC Golf
Tournament by shooting a final
round of 283.
The Red Raiders finished with
a three-day total of 880, followed
by Southern Methodist at 883
and Texas A&M at 885. Un
ranked Tech stunned a field of
top national competitors includ
ing No.4 TCU, No. 6 Texas and
No. 20 A&M.
It was the Red Raiders’ first
SWC Men’s Golf title since 1971
and only their third ever. The
win also snapped Texas’ string of
seven straight titles.
Tech’s Bryan Novoa and
SMU’s Hank Kuehne tied for the
individual title at 213. Novoa
was Tech’s first individual cham
pion since 1967.
The Aggies placed four individ
ual competitors in the top 15 —
more than any other team. Lead
ing the way was senior Dru Feni-
tnore — one of last year’s co-cham-
pions — who finished sixth with a
score of 220.
“All of us are very disappointed,
but we gave some good efforts,”
Fenimore said. “From the time I
came to Texas A&M, all I Wanted
to do was a win a SWC Golf
Championship.”
Also finishing in the top 15 for
the Aggies were Jeff Brown
(eighth at 221), Tim McMillan
(14th at 224) and Miguel del Angel
(also 14th at 224). A&M freshman
Ty Cox finished 36th with a 239.
