| --Senior softball player Selena Collins will share her thoughts on the season, and other things, with us each week in AggieAthletics.com's player diary segment. April 8, 2003 Well, this weekend was full of fun and excitement. We did just what we set out to do, and that was take two wins from Oklahoma State. We said it with conviction and we did what we said. It was hard to walk away from Baylor with the loss that was so rightfully given to us, but it was also nice to have the opportunity to regroup and get our minds set back on what we needed to do. I know for one that I was really upset at the loss to Baylor. I guess I have always been one of those people who takes losing so personally. I have always been that way and I don't really know if that is good or bad. I know one thing is for sure is the respect the team has for people like me (the ones who take losses personally) is something that I respect about my team. In the past we would lose games and the team would be laughing and yelling as if we had just won. And I know that would irk many people. I don't know...maybe I have such a huge bias towards my teammates now. I guess the bond and chemistry that I feel with the girls is something I treasure more than any other year. Why? I don't really know. I am not sure if I see a team that is capable of great things, or if it is because I see that the team sees us capable of great things. I guess the love that I have for my teammates is one that I will have for the rest of my life. It was nice to see our team come out ready to play this weekend, and the outcome speaks for itself. We leave to play Texas this Wednesday and I am definitely looking forward to it. I know our team will be ready, if we continue to play with solid defense and aggressive offense we will have a great outcome on Wednesday. Good Luck Ags, Beat the Hell outta the Longhorns.
