7 - Losses by two runs or less in Big 12 play for the baseball team. A&M sits at 14-10 in league play with three games remaining.

30 - Number of years since A&M's last shut out of Texas on the baseball field before Aggie hurler Ross Hales posted a complete-game blanking of the Longhorns in Austin on Saturday. Hales allowed just three hits, and only one runner advanced to second base in the game.

8 - Consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament for the A&M softball team.

3-2 - The softball team's record against Florida in the last two NCAA Tournament.

First time here? Click me!

First off, let me take time to thank you for swinging by 12th Man Magazine On Campus’s new home on the web. Our magazine has been staple around the Texas A&M campus for the last five years, and it’s been our pleasure to bring Aggie students the most in-depth features and behind-the-scenes action of any student-geared publication in the College Station-Bryan area.

This blog, however, represents our first foray into the e-world. It’s all about instant communication these days, and we hope this venue becomes a way for Texas A&M’s students to keep up with all the Aggie sports action that takes place on this campus.

We’ll certainly hit the big sports like football, basketball and baseball, but this will also be the place to keep up with soccer, volleyball, swimming, track, tennis, golf, equestrian and anything else that comes up. In short: if it’s Aggie sports, it’ll be here.

It’s worth noting, however, that hard news won’t be our main focus—there are plenty of newspapers out there to take care of all that. Rather than regurgitate info that is already in several other publications, this site will be a place for short, easy-to-read features about student-athletes and coaches, commentary on A&M’s programs, and any off-the-wall or behind-the-scenes items that you want to see.

We’re going to load this page with updates over the coming days, weeks and months, so I hope you continue to return and stay up to speed. Please don’t hesitate to email me at true@12thmanfoundation.com with any content ideas or things you’d like to see here in the future.

Thanks again for swinging by!
