These are comments by vot ers in the annual TCU football poll who picked, as a group, the Aggies to take the title. For more information on the poll and more quotes, see section four of this issue. — Robert Hill, KEEE-KJCS Radio, Nacogdoches. “Texas Aggies will finally get over the shock of Maggies on campus and come up with the champion ship. If the Aggies don’t win, it will have to be said the best team didn’t.”—Tim May, Lufkin News. “Aggies have all the equipment to carry the load — size, speed and experience — unless recurring mechanical problems (remember Dallas and Austin?) once again abort the trip to the Cotton Bowl. — Ray Collins, Houston Post. “Tradition tells me that A&M will figure some way to lose it, but logic says they have the best team — so for once 111 try to be logical. Rob Wiley, KARK-TV, Little Rock. “A&M has the personnel to win, but the choice is a fragile one. The memory of Texas victory over the Aggies in 1974 — with many of the same players returning — isn t eas ily forgotten. — Jim Trinkle, Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Break a neck — caneck, caneck. --- David Holmes, Palestine Herald-Press. “Aggies gag ’em.” — Carl Guys,Del Rio News Herald. “The Aggies have too much talent this time. Even they couldn t blow it now — I don’t think. The first four or five teams should all con tend for the title and SMU should be strong offensively. For once, that old saw about the SWC being better overall should be true. — Carter Cromwell, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. “The Aggies are loaded; Texas is Texas; Tommy Duniven may be the league’s next superstar; Baylor played with more emotion than ta lent last year, and what talent they had is gone; TCU is the most im proved team in the league over last year.” —- Joe Stroop. WBAP Radio, Fort Worth. “I put eight names in a hat and picked out A&M s. — Denne Freeman, AP. “I worked from the bottom up and Texas A&M was the only team left.” — Randy Harvey, Dallas Times-Herald. Some liked the Longhorns: “It’s a battle of history vs. Texas A&M. Having seen Texas defeat my alma mater 282-73 over the last, seven seasons, I’ll have to go with history.” — John Curylo, Port Ar thur News. “We’ve got to invent a stronger word than Superstar for Eail Campbell of Texas. Kmg Kong couldn’t stop him, and even if he could, the original Monster Man isn’t on A&M’s roster.” — Carlos Deere, Brenham Banner-Press. “Longhorns showed what they could do last year with incentive ‘ when they beat the Aggies — and what they couldn’t do without in centive when they lost to Auburn in the Gator Bowl. Now they’ve got plenty of incentive, plus senior quarterback. — Galyn Wilkins, Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
