UMD over noma.....that better happen since ive been lobbying for them the past few weeks

Don't win for yourselves, win so i don't look foolish

[Brent Burns]

A&M may have some speed and depth, but the team they are playing are even faster and much more deep. I dont think it will ever be close, just my 2 cents

I am just an eternal optimist and I am from Texas. I'll go with Texas A&M.

[Madlaxer07]

Dont get me wrong, who wouldnt want to see a #16 knock out a #1 seed. I just think there are only a couple teams capable of beating BYU this year. Im also from Texas and wish the best to the Aggies though

[coloaglax63]

i will tell you this much about A&M... looking at there scores can be decieving, because they did unload there bench in every game this year (minus colorado) and thus, do not look that impressive. but, if you have seen a game or two with them, you'll see they really can ball... it will take a huge effort for A&M, but they are a very good squad and im pulling for them... You never know what can happen in sports Ex. Golden State over Dallas... just my thoughts

Texas A&M gave up 10 goals to UCLA and 12 to Santa Clara. I think BYU very well may put up 25+ goals.

BYU by 11
Arizona by 5
UCSB by 6
Northeastern by 1
UMD by 3
Oregon by 10
ASU by 1
Superstious about predicting my team.

I think the only way A&M can stay close with BYU is winning all the face-offs and controlling the tempo.

[Ravaging Beast]

Anyone who wants to pick A&M over BYU, I will take your bets now. PM me. Pay Pal okay? I wouldn't even take the Baron Davis over BYU in the first round.

[Has No Left]

#1 Brigham Young - 99.3%
#16 Texas A&M - 0.7%

So your telling me...

I think A&M has a very good squad and can play with anyone. It's unfortunate they had to draw BYU in the first round. If more people would have seen them play and they weren't coming off a couple of bad years, they would have been seeded higher , especially this year. BYU has always got the deepest and most talented group of players, so its hard to argue against that...but that doesnt mean best team. Look for A&M to keep it a game, but BYU wins.

By far the best quote of all time . Great work here mr. Has No Left

I just don't see how an objective person can see it this way. Granted you are an alum, but what evidence do you have that this is the case? They beat Texas by only 2 goals for the LSA title. Texas, let me remind you, are not exactly world beaters. Knowing A&M teams from previous years, they probably have some sharp shooters and can run and gun against terrible teams, but if they face a decent defense they will be exploited once again. Don't even get me started on their defense. They gave up 13 to Texas. Do you expect me to believe they will suddenly get their act together to stop BYU?

What evidence do you have they would have been seeded higher had they not had a few bad years? This is utter nonsense. The reason they are the lowest seed is that they play in a bad league and they have one win against a ranked team two months ago.

So you're telling me...

Very nice HNL...
