While GBH was sleeping…

A recap of everything that happened without us posting about it.

Not sure if any of you noticed, but we had a nice little two-week hiatus without anything new showing up on the GBH homepage. Oopsies! Life comes for all of us, and in this case, came for several of the GBH posters concurrently. Speaking for myself, I had a family vacation, which also meant that my actual job on either side of said vacation was even busier than usual. But with baseball beginning conference play and the basketball postseason ramping up, it’s high time we get back in the swing of things.

But just in case you have an exceptionally unique internet plan that makes our site your only source for Texas A&M athletics news, here’s the highlights of what happened while we weren’t posting…

Aggie baseball continues to terrify us

It’s safe to say Texas A&M baseball has hand an underwhelming start to their 2025 season, beginning the season as the consensus No. 1 team only to go 10-6 through a non-conference slate that included no ranked opponents. They’re now ranked in the low teens to high 20s in the poll. A&M’s only weekend sweep of the year came on opening weekend against Elon, and they just won their first Tuesday game of the season two days ago against Prairie View. If you’re looking for a silver lining, the Aggies seem to have cleaned things up defensively, not committing an error in the last five games, and the offense is showing signs of life as well, scoring 14 or more runs in two of the last four games.

If the Ags want to right the ship, they best do so quickly, as SEC play begins this weekend as they host No. 17 Alabama. Win this series, and a ton of the consternation from the past month subsides. Lose it, and many a pot will be banged.

Basketball seems to have righted the ship

When we last spoke, Aggie hoops was in the (free) throws of a four-game losing streak, and the wheels of a great season seemed to be in danger of coming off. But if there’s a way to break yourself out of a funk, defeating the No. 1 team in the country for the first time in school history on senior night seems like a good way to do it. A&M then closed out the regular season with a road win over lowly LSU to clinch the No. 5 seed in the SEC Tournament, where they’ll begin play at 2:30 p.m. today against rival Texas.

Get ready for tons of rationalization regardless of who loses.

Looking ahead, the most likely seed for the Aggies in the NCAA Tournament is a 3 seed, but as we’ve learned, selection committees are anything but predictable when it comes to seeding Texas A&M.

Women’s hoops goes out with a wimper

Women’s basketball seemed to be at a turning point in late January, upsetting No. 11 Kentucky to improve to 3-3 in SEC play. They’d lose their best player for the season in the next game, and proceed to go an 11-game losing streak to end the year, capped off by 40-point drubbing by the Lady Vols in the SEC Tournament that included a whopping Aggie 32 turnovers. It is safe to say the Joni Taylor era is not going as planned.

Softball looks to be as good as advertised

Among several A&M sports that don’t always live up to the billing, softball in year three of head coach Trisha Ford is an unquestioned bright spot. The Aggies are 21-4 on the season, and 5-4 against ranked opponents. They dropped their first series (1-2) to Florida, but will look to rebound as they travel to Auburn this weekend.

Men’s Track wins SEC Indoor title

We don’t cover track much, but when you win a conference title, you get mentioned. A&M ended up with 16 All-SEC athletes, and both the men and women will compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend.

Tennis may be our best sport

You all know that A&M Women’s Tennis won the national title last year, but did you know they’re undefeated in SEC play and ranked No. 3 in the country so far this season as well? Not to be outdone, Men’s Tennis is ranked No. 13 nationally and tied for second in the SEC.

OK, see you again in two weeks!
