Football 2011: Week One

I thought I would watch several college football games during the Labor Day weekend, but as it turned out, the Oregon vs LSU game was too one-sided to be worth watching, and I couldn't get interested in the rest of the Saturday warm-up exercises. Tonight, though, I did watch nearly all of the Aggies vs SMU. The Aggies turned two early interceptions into TDs and looked like they'd be rolling all night long, but SMU switched quarterbacks and made it a tight game for the rest of the first half. Superior manpower prevailed in the second half, and TAMU won 46-14. This is a good sign because for far too many years, the Aggies have been unimpressive in their early non-conference games against teams from the lower tier of the food chain. It's good to see TAMU deliver an ass-kicking instead of struggling to beat some schmo by two FGs.
