I was sitting in a local tavern a
couple of nights ago talking about
(what else) Southwest Conference
Football. A friend of mine said,
“Now listen. I’ve read all of the PR
stuff that you’ve written about this
year’s football team but can they re
ally win the conference?’’
That’s the wrong thing to ask me if
you have to go anywhere in a hurry.
Sure enough it took me about one
hour to tell him why I did think the
Aggies would win this year.
MISSISSIPPI. I don’t think the
Aggies will have as much trouble
with Mississippi as they will with a
couple of other schools down the
line. It’s the opening game of what
should be one of the greatest A&M
seasons in history and the players
know that and they want to get it off
to a good start. (1-0)
LSU. There’s no doubt this will
be one of the Aggies’ toughest
games. It really doesn’t matter how
much better a team is than LSU
when you play in Tiger Stadium.
A&M ran all over the Tigers last
year and won by only one
touchdown. The players know the
importance of beating LSU in Baton
Rouge. The Aggies grew up in Tiger
Stadium last year, they became a
good, strong football team. I don’t
think they will let 68,000 screaming
Cajuns bother them. (2-0)
Lights, Camera, Action
ILLINOIS. This will be the Ag
gies’ first dress-up before the TV
cameras. You had better believe
that they will be out to show some
people something. Another big fac
tor in this one is the starting time.
The game will begin at 12:50 p.m.
Do you realize how humid it is at
12:50 in College Station? Much
more so than in Chicago. It’s got to
wear the Ulini down. (3-0)
KANSAS STATE. The Aggies
went into the state of Kansas last anEv
year No. 4 in the nation and unde-
feated. You remember what hap-
pened? So do they. Enough said.
(4-0)
TEXAS TECH. The record
means nothing now as the S WC sea
son finally begins. Tech is going to
be plenty ready for the Aggies after
what happened last year, but I don’t
think even that will be enough to
stop the hungry Aggies in their first
SWC battle. (5-0)
TCU. For the third week in a row
the Aggies will take their show on
the road. TCU isn’t going to pull a
Baylor and go from last to first. The
Frogs just don’t have it this year,
and no one knows that better than
the Frogs themselves. (6-0)
BAYLOR. This is going to be a
biggie. Talk about running into a
bunch of mad Aggies. You see the
Aggies feel like Baylor played in
their Cotton Bowl last year and they
will probably remember that very
well come Oct. 25. The Aggie game
for Baylor begins a month where the
Bears have to go to College Station,
Austin and Lubbock. Come to think
of it, that’s a bunch of mad people. If
Grant can pull them through that,
even I’ll believe last year wasn’t a
fluke. (7-0)
SMU. This is another case of re
member last year. SMU 18, Texas
A&M 14,Ouch. Welcome to College
Station Mustangs. (8-0)
Remember 1973?
RICE. Tins is the home game
that the Aggies play in Houston
every other year. I don’t look for
much out of the Owls, but I didn’t
last time A&M played them in
Houston either. That won’t happen
this time around. (9-0)
Now this is where I have to take a
break and tell you something about
iV V
most predictions. Most of the
people I know are picking the Ag
gies to go 9-2. When you ask them
who they are going to lose to they
say, “Arkansas and Texas. ” Arkansas
and Texas are the last two games of
the regular season, and when the
Aggies go into those final two weeks
undefeated, I can only say, “No
Way,’ will they lose their final two
games.
TEXAS. Thousands of words
have already been written about
this one and countless millions more
will be written before kickoff time.
I’m going to say this one more time,
and then I’m going to drop it until
Nov. 27. The Aggies will beat Texas
this year in one of the best football
games around. For any doubters,
hide and watch. (10-0)
ARKANSAS. This may be the
toughest of the year for the Ags, but
too much will be riding on it for a
slip-up. (11-0)
Now isn’t that easy. It’s so easy to
win conferences and go undefeated
in August, much easier than in
November. So many people ask me
how I feel and why I feel the way I
do, so I decided to tell everyone at
the same time. I could be wrong, I
have been once before, but I don’t
think so. The Aggies will win the
Southwest Conference, they may
not go undefeated, but as long as we
all get to eat lunch in Dallas on New
Year’s Day, who cares?
