By VANCY MANNING Battalion Staff Writer “The team has made a tre mendous comeback,” Mrs. Sandra Huggins, wife of defensive back- field coach Lide Huggins, says. “It’s really unbelieveable! ” They have enjoyed living in the Bryan-College Station area since moving here from South Carolina three years ago. “Every one was so nice to us when we first moved here,” Mrs. Huggins recalled. “It really meant a lot to us because we’re so far from home,” she continued. The one main difference she has found between Texas and South Carolina is the cilmate. “We really have a winter back home,” she noted. “But we love it out here.” They usually spend Christmas and summer vacation in South Carolina so that their children have an opportunity to get to know their grandparents. Coach Huggins lives in two different worlds. All day long he works with the boys on the foot ball team. At night he is sur rounded by females—his wife and three daughters. He believes that the children’s parakete is a girl, too. “We’re going to start a girls’ basketball team,” Mrs. Huggins said. The two older girls, Kathy, age 7, and Karen, age 5, think football is just great. Sabrina, who is 5 months old, doesn’t think much about it. She just enjoys being a happy baby who never meets a stranger. Kathy and Karen are Aggie supporters all the way. They al ways want to wear maroon and white. They definitely don’t ap prove of orange and white. They have seen their father play football. He played at the University of South Carolina. But now they know he’s a coach. As they put it, “He has a bunch of boys that he takes care of.” Coach Huggins usually calls them in the afternoon so that they can tell him about their day. Kathy always has a great deal to tell him about her day at school. She’s in the second grade at Sul Ross. Both girls enjoy the Aggie Band. But “they are always ask ing why there aren’t majorettes,” Mrs. Huggins said smiling. Mrs. Huggins has enjoyed be ing a coach’s wife because it’s given her a chance to make last ing friendships. She wouldn’t trade it for anything else. She was really impressed by the Aggie spirit. “I have never seen such great spirit before,” she said. “And it means a lot to the team.” She was just a little more nervous about the Arkansas game because her husband scouted it. “I’m glad we played one of our best games against them.” She enjoys all types of music and plays the piano. She also enjoys bowling. She teaches a 3-year-old Sun day school group at the A&M Presbyterian Church. She would someday like to get a college degree in elementary education.
