If you're not watching Texas A&M systematically destroy SMU right now, don't worry, you aren't missing much. As of the publishing of this post the Aggies held a 48-3 lead on the Mustangs in the third quarter, and nothing much is going to change there except for the final margin.

Plus we have the play of the game right here for you.

SMU receiver Der'rick Thompson was pushed out of bounds near the goal line during a play and was sent on a collision course with A&M's mascot, Reveille. The collie was napping on its bed, totally unaware of what was happening, but luckily for the pooch, a Texas A&M cadet stepped up and delivered a key block.

Reveille then went on and continued doing dog stuff, like sleeping some more and all was well.
