I was travelling to a student conference in Mankato, MN in mid-February, maybe 15 years ago. Flew into Minneapolis and hooked up with my Left Tackle and Right Tackle from high school, we were the sole three senior offensive linemen, they had went to college in the Twin Cities, so we did our Friday night thing we did our senior year which was movie night -- we saw 300 on the big screen, thoroughly epic of course. Anyways, I had some driving to do in the morning so got up around 5 am and walked outside to the car. It was 16 degrees out, thankfully not too windy, but man, that is a bone chilling cold.
All I'll say to the Aggies on this Quarterfinal morning is what Leonidas said to his 300 before maximum battle: PREPARE FOR GLORY!
So far there have been no upsets these playoffs, meaning the committee has had it “right” until now. If there is any last minute motivation needed, a win today would sort of be like beating Sac State again, since their AD is our rep on the committee.
