Aggie fans hard to please?
By DAVID WALKER
Southwest Conference Football,
like that other favorite American in
stitution Christmas, begins sneak
ing upon us earlier every year. This
year is no different.
Since the football bible, Texas
Football, hit the stands last week
I have heard pairings for the Aggies
to play every major college football
team in America in every bowl.
Everyone has their own idea of
what the Aggies are going to do so
I decided to bring up the subject
Saturday night at that SWC football
hot spot, the Dixie Chicken.
The general feeling was that the
Aggies were going to win the world.
I heard everything from, “Yea,
we re gonna win the whole thing,”
to “Well, they gotta beat Texas to
win it and you know they can t beat
Texas. ”
If you want to hit a sore spot with
me just start talking about choking
and not being able to beat Texas.
By the time we left the Chicken,
Sports Editor Mike Bruton and I
were ready to take on the Longhorn
11 ourselves.
It seems that to some people that
good old Aggie spirit means Texas
or nothing. I really think that some
people would rather the Ags go
1-10, as long as the victory was over
the Longhorns, than to go 10-1.
Those are the same ones that still
gripe about last year’s football sea
son. You remember, the 8-3 team,
the best record in 17 years.
There are a lot of reasons for
this feeling, the major one being
that the Ags have such a miserable
all-time record against the Horns,

(18-58-5).
The other big reason is thei
mous, “wait till next year.”
Last year the Aggies had goc,
solid reasons to say this becaiis
they had so many people return®!
for this season. The big fault
this is that it was used by die-liai;
Aggies so much in the late 6(1
and early 70’s when the Aggie
really didn’t have anything tom
till next year for, thus making I
saying old, no good and just anotle
Aggie joke.
Now comes
this year. The
Aggies do play
Texas and there'
are some Aggie
football fans (?)
who will come
out of hiberna-,
tion only for that,
game. Poor souls, they don t knoi
what they will have missed. Tk
think that the team, like thein
selves, only wants to beat Texas
I’ve got some ideas about (host
thoughts but they could never Is
printed.
Granted there is more pressnitl
on the team on Thanksgiving tha;
other days but, like it or not, ii|
just another game. (Even I am gulf
ty, I won’t believe I said that Novi
ember 27.) -
The upcoming football scheduh
for the Aggies is very interesting
especially the home schedule, li
home the Ags play non-confereStl
games with Mississippi and lliinoisj
before hosting three conferentt
teams: Last year’s conference/
champion, Baylor, the team tk
kept the Aggies out of the CottO!|
Bowl, SMU and then the gametk
no one knows fdxnit, Texas.
With a lineup like that they can!
afford to look forward to Texas
even if they wanted to.

Joe Namath called a press con|B
ence Tuesday in a New York if
staurant that left all the reixirtenl
only a hint as to his profession!
football career and his future.
“1 think what Joe has to saywl
shake ’em upa little hit, saidaclo*
friend of Namath s. Namath s attop
ney, Jimmy Walsh, gave otherclus
to the mystery.
Walsh said Namath s speech iii-||
rectly involves his career but oJ
indirectly concerns the New Yoii
Jets. And the Jets were more
shocked by the conference that
anyone, because they weren’t asked
to participate.
Speculation was stirred whet
Namath left camp temporarily
without any explanation of purpose
The Jets have offered the star quar- |
terhack a million-dollar contract lo
continue his star-studded career
with them, but he has made notf
fort to sign.
Since Namath refused a $4 mill-fl
ion dollar pact from the World!
Football League in May, it isobvi l
ous that he has some alternative in I
mind. Many believe that he wants*
to stay with the Jets, but for more}
money. Not necessarily.
Namath has admitted on occaj
sions that he would very much like}
to get into the movie-making busi
ness. He has made appearances inj
three movies, the biggest beinjl|
“C.C. & Co.” with Ann Margret.
Everything still remains aspecn-j
lation, as Namath is yet to state hisf
full intentions.
