Last Home Football Game Saturday

Sadly, football season is almost over. Saturday night, 10/31 is our last home game.

Come out and show your support for the team, who has had its best season since 2005.

Don't forget, it's Military Appreciation Night! Make sure you don't miss the game Saturday, so you can personally thank our Military personel, and cheer the Rams on to v-i-c-t-o-r-y!.

See you at the game!

Good-Bye, University Hall

Typically, the Junell Center is the place where ASU fans come to watch our basketball and volleyball teams play. Other special events, like concerts and banquets have been held there as well.

But on Sunday morning, it was the outside of the Junell Center where spectators sat, or stood, to watch the implosion of University Hall.

After a siren and a series of loud "booms," University Hall came tumbling down.

Although not a sports event, it was an event that many ASU fans came to witness, so they could say "I was there" when the dorm, also known as the Women's Highrise, came down.

Some cheered when it was done, but for some, it was a solemn moment. A piece of ASU history, and a part of the San Angelo skyline, gone forever.

University Hall Implosion

Not a sports post, but I thought this would be interesting for ASU fans... If you're in town on Sunday morning, you won't want to miss the implosion of University Hall... Sometime between 7:52 & 8:30 am. Be sure to get there early; officials will suspend all traffic by 7:45 a.m. in the area bounded by Jackson Street and Johnson Street and Avenue N and University Ave.

Here's the link to the Standard-Times article about the implosion... (Sorry, no camping out the night before) :)

Here's to hoping we'll all be tired Sunday morning, from being up late celebrating a huge Rams win over West Texas A&M!

Homecoming Game

Okay, so sadly, we did not win Saturday night... But what a great night!


First, thanks to all of you who braved the cold and wind to come out and support ASU. It was so fun to see so many different organizations represented.


How great was it that *I* won Homecoming King??? I have to say, I did not expect that! But, I proudly accept the honor.


For the second time this season, the Spirit Line stretched from end zone to end zone... That takes a lot of fans! And, that meant many of you had to put down your hot chocolate to do it! While I was nice and warm under my wool coat, the Angelettes, Cheerleaders, and even the football players looked a little cold. So, thank you for making your way down to the field to participate!

I also need to thank the anonymous fan who sent me the pictures at the top of this post. Two of them show the Spirit Line, and the other shows me with the rest of the Homecoming Court.


Regardless of the outcome of the game, I am proud of my team, and proud of all the fans that came out to support us at Homecoming.


The next home game is on Halloween... Come dressed up as the Best Ram Fan!

Less than two hours 'til kickoff!

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it! Less than two hours until The Game starts!!

Perfect weather for football tonight too~ Nothing says football like cool weather! Feels so good with my wool coat...

Off to Ram Jam~ See you there!

The 'Belles are back!

The 'Belles are back! Both back in town, and back to their winning ways. In just three games, ASU defeated Texas A&M Commerce, breaking the team's 6-match losing streak.

ASU Football Team~ #23 in the Nation!

Check out this article from the Standard-Times...

We haven't lost to a Division 2 school this season!

This weekend, we play Abilene Christian, AND it's Homecoming... ALL fans in San Angelo should be there! ACU is ranked number 2.

A win this weekend would be h-u-g-e!

See you at the game! 6:00 kickoff.

Football team wins again!

Was everyone as totally psyched as I was while listening to the football game in Blackwater Draw, NM last night? I have to say, I was a little concerned after hearing Jeremy Bryant's (radio sports announcer) ominous reminder of the bad luck our team often has at Blackwater Stadium.

When we were ahead 19-2 at halftime, I was hoping that our bad luck had run out, and that tonight's luck would be good.

Were you all like me, holding your breath in the 4th quarter? 19-16 was a little too close for comfort... But the team came back to life, and only let ENMU score once in the last quarter, while we scored 28 points!!!

Wa-a-a-a-y to go guys~ final score 47-23! Our winning streak continues!

Football!

Before this week's game at ENMU, I have to talk about last week's game...

IT.WAS.AMAZING!!! By far, one of the best games I have seen in a long time.
While they are nerve-racking for the team and coaches, the best games for fans are those that come down to the final minutes. And at the game on Friday against Midwestern State, fans not only got their money's worth, they got a bargain. Midwestern State, who was ranked number 17, by the way, trailed most of the game. They made a comeback near the end of the game, but it wasn't enough for the Rams, who were *hot* that night.

Aside from the team playing extremely well, the crowd was awesome! And, the spirit line- the double-line made by fans just before the end of halftime- was the longest I have ever seen at an ASU game! It literally stretched from end zone to end zone. Our next home game is Oct. 17, and it is Homecoming... Let's do that again!
