My how suddenly we let the polls go to our heads.
Remember back in ’69 and ’70 when the highest rank
ing the Aggies were able to get was honorable mention in
the Bottom Ten?
Have the memories of those frustrating years vanished
with the successes of the past few months?
Before, there was jubilation and round-the-clock mer
rymaking for even a single touchdown, much less the
orgiastic celebration following a victory, if there was such
a thing.
Now the sunshine fans at A&M seem disgusted with
anything less than a 40-0 slaughter of a hapless opponent.
Such conceptions are also found in the hearts of those
supporting the institutions at Austin and Norman, Ok
lahoma.
Pity must be had for OU quarterback Steve Davis who
was booed and jeered by the Big Red crowd for eating the
ball to protect a 21-20 lead over Colorado instead of trying
to fatten the scoreboard.
One has to look at the recent victory over TCU as an
example of how this beat-the-dog-out-of-everybody,
have-no-mercy line of thinking has infected the A&M
student body.
Certainly, it was possible for the Ags to demolish the
Homed Frogs. But because they didn’t doesn’t detract
from the fact that they put more points on the board than
TCU did. And that’s what counts ii> the long run anyway.
Actually, there was no valid reason for the Ags to get
highly charged for the Frogs, what with more crucial
games ahead. Don’t take me wrong, TCU is perhaps the
most improved team in the Southwest Conference. How
ever, their disguise as a threat lies somewhere in the
future.
Another interesting item concerning Aggie fan reaction
is their attitude towards the A&M defense. Despite hold
ing a respectable Texas Tech team to only nine points, the
fans complained about Coach Melvin Robertson’s mas
terpiece giving up too much ground. When will we be
satisfied?
One could say that the Aggie defense only gave up nine
points so as to preserve the health of Tech’s ill-stricken
horse that gallops after each Red Raider score. Seriously
though, many of us need to realize the fact that yards don t
hurt on the scoreboard.
High rankings and defensive stats are nice, but they are
only gravy compared to winning.
(By the way, for those interested, I did not pick TCU to
win last weekend. It would be difficult to pick them in an
intra-squad game. A former friend made all of my predic
tions while I was out of town.)
While football is drawing all of the current headlines, a
large number of other A&M athletes are going unrecog
nized.
The A&M cross fcouhtry team has just put in one of its
finest performances ever, especially when the Youth of
the team is considered. Coach Ted Nelson is to be saluted
for the job he is doing and for his excellent recruiting.
One sidelight of the meet was the performance of
Baylor walk-on Bill Adams, who was their top finisher in
eighth place. He is the brother of Aggie marathon runner,
Richard Adams.
A&M’s Bruce Smith said he talked with Adams
throughout the race, needling him for not coming to
Aggieland.
Smith also revealed plans for a new cross-country team
yell which will be unveiled this Saturday. He said it stems
from an African jungle yell.
Another group of young men not getting their deserved
share of the limelight is Coach Dennis Fosdick’s Water
Polo squad. One of the winningest programs on campus is
still having problems getting funds for scholarships or
anything else for that matter. Proposals may be on the way
to see the team recognized by the NCAA. That is, if they
can be recognized by their own school first.
