I'm not sure what to say about the tournament except for the fact that, during that championship game, I saw our Lady Aggies play amazingly. I saw them with that desire in their eyes. And, when they won the first game, we thought for sure we'd be walking away with that trophy.
But it wasn't meant to be. As I said in my bleedcrimson.net blog, we fans are extremely proud of this team and this coaching staff - win, lose or draw. We love them all and they make us proud to be Aggie fans.
One thing that I'll always remember are the amazing fans that we met from the other schools. When they sat near us, we cheered for their team and, in return, they came back for the championship match and cheered for our Aggies!
Meeting the team parents was great as well. Amber Simpson's folks were there and in their Aggie finest. (I'll have to find pictures of their getups.) I met Alyssa Gintant's mom and boyfriend - very cool people! We also met Krista Altermatt's folks. I felt so bad for them when Krista went down in the 5th game. (Krista's doing a lot better from what I hear.) Anna Callis' folks were regulars at our tailgates when they were in town and Mr Callis' even got into the costume thang - but quickly removed his blonde mullet wig when Anna saw him and begged her mom to make him not wear it.
All in all - a great event and my hat is off to all the people responsible for organizing it. Fabulous job!
The next big thing on the volleyball calendar is the NCAA Selection Viewing reception tomorrow night at 5:30pm on the 3rd floor of the Fulton Center. Cost is $20 and there might be a chance that if you didn't make reservations, you can still go. All proceeds go to Aggie Volleyball. I'm not going to make a guess on where they're going or who they're playing.
Couple of sidenotes - the Lady Aggie Tailgaters have decided to step up and support womens basketball. Obviously, its a little colder these days so I'm not sure how the tailgates will work. Click on the website then check out the message boards for more information. Feel free to sign up for the board as well.
Also, while you're at the website, check out our photo album. There are a lot of pictures in there of the tailgates and the games. If you have any photos you'd like to share, there is information on the message board to do that.
GO AGGIES!! ONTO THE NCAA'S!
