Is there a bigger knucklehead on the radio than Mark Lyons? Seriously, how does this guy keep his job year after year? I feel sorry for Wrubell having to endure this every week.
I was listening to the post-game today in my car and they had an exchange that went something like this (I swear I am not making this up):
Wrubell: Quite a few people have e-mailed us after the game asking about the jerseys worn by Colorado State today. They were pumpkin and green throwback jerseys honoring the old Colorado State teams when they were called the Aggies.
Lyons: Aggies? Hmmm... I don't think they were ever called the Aggies.
Wrubell: Yes, I believe they were the Colorado A&M Aggies.
Lyons: No, I think that was Texas A&M.
Wrubell: Uh... (can't remember exactly how he responded - he was probably rendered speechless at this point)
Lyons: I lived in Colorado back in 1954 when I was a tiny, tiny kid. And I don't remember them being called Aggies.
OK, Mark. Maybe you are right. Maybe the fine folks who run CSU don't know what they used to be called and just made up that whole "AGGIE" thing for no reason.
