Graham says,"I'm happy we got here as healthy as we have. A&M's got power, speed and good pitching so we're gonna have to be good." Back to Childress he says,"Here we are again .. and it's something we're familiar with." Of course ..the Aggies got swept last year by the Owls but Childress is right the Ags are familiar with the surroundings. And that players all are looking for there to be plenty of maroon in the stands this weekend. To which Rice pitcher cole St. Clair says," Wile this may not be as hostile of an atmosphere that they can possibly imagine ...I'm sure that what we do on the field will speak for itself."

Don't be surprised if the Owls advance past the Aggies for the 2nd straight year. Aggies outfielder Kyle Colligan will have extra fans this weekend. Kyle ..who is 2nd on the team in homers ....played at Dulles High School before going to College Station.
