The Aggies play 14 games in February. (6 at Olsen, 5 neutral, 3 road-counting So.Alabama) As of now only 1 opponent (Rice) is ranked in the top 25.

In 2004 the Ags played .536 baseball away from Olsen.
In 2003 the Ags played .586 baseball away from Olsen.

Based on those %, I think 5-3 in the road/neutral games and to be on the conservative side, since I don't know much about the classic opponents, I'll say 4-2 at home.

So this adds up to a prediction of: 9-5

Gig'em!

MMPTourna: 2-1
SamHousot: 1-0
BamaTourn: 2-1
UT-SA: 1-0
DomiTourn: 5-1

= 11-3

10-4, most likely. More home games might have given us a 12-2 record.

As a comparison to February 04 - the aggies started with 12 of 13 at Olsen and posted a 12-1 record.

I might be going out on a limb. But,I bet we win some, and we might lose some in February.

AgRyan has it right and it's tough to agree with a Cub fan.

14-3, we get double credit for the basketball wins!!

I'll go ahead and be the first to say undefeated. And why not? Don't answer that.

well, my concern about the heavy dose of road/neutral site games is holding. I was afraid of that. Still holding to my 9-5 prediciton, but I think that's the "high end" now.

7-7 is a realistic possibility.

this is going to be a tough start to this season. we don't have a home game until two weeks into the season! last year, we had almost every game at home at the beginning of the season. can't really predict too much after three games...

Probably 1-13...since our coaching staff is so terrible.

well, I am relieved to see that the Ags have survived the 8-game road stretch to begin the year. 6-2 is very good mark. 5-0 vs. out-of-state teams, 1-2 in-state.

The team batting average is still low at .271 that needs to keep getting higher. The awesome news is that the team ERA is 2.48, that is terrific for college baseball.

With 6 games at home (finally) and all against out-of-state teams, I think the Ags will easily surpass my 9-5 prediction.

depending how the pitching holds up over a 6 game stretch, I think we can easily surpass 9-5, hitting either a 10-4 or 11-3 mark. I think we will drop at least 1, probably either a sunday night or monday game, once we have decimated our rotation. Who knows?

A&M won't lose another game this month. The Dell Diamond tournament will be interesting.

Notre Dame has a 7'2" pitcher. Have fun, ags. I'll probably make some of the games since I live about 15 miles from the Ballpark.

So far I've got the overall record correct....just put a L in the wrong place.

The Ags have completed February with a 9-4 record.

Didn't quite get there as I predicted...more wins on the road/neutral than at Olsen. That is probably a good thing seeing as how the March schedule is still road-heavy.

16 games scheduled for the month: 4 neutral, 7 road, and 5 home. Wow, this continues to be a tough schedule.

Conference play starts in Lubbock (3) and then onto Norman (3). I'm hoping for 4-2, but the Ags will have to score runs to beat Tech. Not many pitcher's duels at Dan Law.

I think a reasonable goal is to have the overall record 10+ games over .500 by the end of March. So an 11-5 March would equal a 20-9 overall record, which would be great, considering the level of competition. Gig'em!

You were on the Money in Feb W I will take your next guess as well.

17-14 at the end of March.
30-25 for the entire year.

bonfire, you willing to place any money on your prediction or are you just trying to stir the pot? because id give 3 to 1 odds that the ags do better than 30 wins

well done W....I was close but you were closer.

Here are my March predictions....

RR Tourney (n): 2-1
UTA: 1-0
UCLA: 2-1
TxSt (n): 1-0
@tech: 1-2
@UH: 1-0
@OU: 2-1
Lamar: 1-0

Total: 11-5

it looks like I agree with your 11-5

So far I've been pretty dogon close and we're pretty much right where I thought we'd be overall....I've been 1 game off overall for both months combined (with one game dropped from the schedule)....

I find it interesting that no one went into their "end of the world" panic mode nor called me a sunshine pumper when all of this was done before the fact, which is why I kind of think there tends to be some knee jerk reactions occuring.....

MMPTourna: 2-1 (actual; 1-2)
SamHousot: 1-0 (1-0)
BamaTourn: 2-1 (3-0)
UT-SA: 1-0 (1-0)
DomiTourn: 5-1 (3-2; DNP 1 game)
= 11-3 (9-4)

RR Tourney (n): 2-1 (3-0)
UTA: 1-0 (0-1)
UCLA: 2-1 (3-0)
TxSt (n): 1-0 (1-0)
@tech: 1-2 (1-2)
@UH: 1-0 (1-0)
@OU: 2-1 (1-2)
Lamar: 1-0 (1-0)
= 11-5 (11-5)

Total: 22-8 (20-9)
