USA Basketball toys with No. 11 Aggies; blogger laughs

As you’ve probably seen already, the U.S. National Team utterly embarrassed the Texas A&M Aggies 75-24 on Sunday afternoon.

And I’m not being facetious, either. The Aggies — ranked No. 11 in the AP Poll *chortle* — shot 11-64 from the field, including 19 consecutive shots at one point.

Now you may be wondering why I’m posting this particular news in the way that I am. Well, the good people over at Texas A&M and the Big 12 believe we at b5media are just some fly-by-night operation without any journalism behind us. As such, they denied our request to get me credentialed for this game.

Funny, UTSA had no problem credentialing me as a blogger (and admittedly, as a local journalist) for the UTSA-Belmont game going on Sunday afternoon.

Well, A&M… we’re still here, we’re still writing and maybe one day you’ll recognize the value of bloggers.

Until then, you might want to have your players spend some extra time shooting.
