Where are the true fans?
It’d been two wonderful years j
nice I’d done it.
|Not since the 1975 Texas gamed
[ad I ventured from the press box to
vatch Texas A6cM play football. But
ast Saturday afternoon I was coaxed
im my cozy press box seat in order
Iview the A&M-Cougar affair from
the stands.
After three hours of “Bellard you
le dull,” “What kind of call is
hat?” “Come on defense, you guys ;
ajj laven’t done a thing all year,” and
It figures it would be Woodard up
he middle,” I knew Emory Bellard
-ards can Ij vould never have to venture out of
lyle Field to find a coaching re-H
dacement.
And yet, this was all minor com-1
% lared to what happened late in the
econd quarter. J

The Aggies, under the direction
of David Walker, had not been mov
ing the ball well on offense. Walker
had been playing hurt since the
SMU game, and it appeared that his
injuries were impairing his play.
With four minutes remaining in the
first half, Bellard replaced Walker
with freshman Mike Mosley.
The roar that greeted Mosley as
he trotted onto the field, would
have made Mighty Casey jealous.
Cries of “It’s about time they got
that bum out of there,” and “I knew
Bellard would get wise one day,”
filled the upper deck of Kyle Field.
It reminded me of a Monday
night football game I saw in Dallas a
few years ago. The quarterbacks of
the Dallas Cowboys were not having
a good night. In fact Dallas was los
ing to St. Louis 38-0. Chants of “We
want Meredith, we want Meredith,
echoed throughout the Cotton
Bowl.
Dandy Don, from the ABC
booth, said no way. He knew the
fickleness of the pro football fan.
Those same fans had booed him
thxoughout his career.
This was something that one ex
pected in pro football. But somehow
this madness has crept onto the col
lege scene as well. It is despicable to
cheer another players’ demise. And
yelling for Walker’s exit was some
thing this writer was amazed to hear
from the ‘spirits’ of Aggieland.
“It’s like people are blaming me
for this entire season,” Walker said
in the shower of his last game at
Kyle Field. “Like this is all my fault.
People did it to me two years ago
and now they’re doing it again.”
And they will do it to Mosley if he
falters upon the path to glory. This
is a sad fact that every player must
face. The sports fan only cares what
the final scoreboard says, and it
doesn’t matter how that’s accom
plished.
Walker now knows the meaning
of the phrase a slave whispered into
Alexander the Great’s ear when he
had conquered the world . . . “All
glory is fleeting. ”
