Dance Floor “Under the Stars” By Kent Adams and David Bandy (Editor’s note: Kent Adams and David Bandy are the starting quick guard and center for the Texas Aggies this fall. Both are seniors.) What does it mean to win? Why is it that so much hinges on the outcome of a football game, an election or any competitive event? The winner is lauded and the loser always wishes he had won. We remember the winners, but the losers are soon forgotten. The 1981 Texas A&M football team will be remembered. Our society admires and remembers winners because of the dedica tion and sacrifice which is re quired to come out on top. Every man and every team wants to be a winner, but few are willing to make sacrifices, even though sacrifices are al ways needed for victory. And few are willing to maintain the attitudes and levels of hard work required to be champions. Even the loser would like to win, but only the man or team that has “paid the price,” as we say in athletics, can go into com petition believing he has victory within his grasp. Well, we all tasted defeat in the past year after a disappoint ing 1980 season. Forget that! The taste was bad. The 1981 Texas Aggies not only want to win, but we be lieve that we are going to win. Why should this year be any different than last year? After all, we aren’t picked any higher than sixth place in any South west Conference preseason poll. You see, a true winner isn’t affected by outside influences — whether he’s picked first or last, he’ll win. The difference this year is in attitude. We aren’t even the same team. It all started last year with the second-half kick off against Arkansas, when we were down 24-0. Bumis Simon collided with the ball-carrier, causing him to fumble. We recovered and Johnny Hector scored on the next play from scrimmage. That was the beginning of a super comeback, although we lost the game in the final seconds. However, that gave us new life. We continued on to beat TCU and Texas, and now, we are hungry for more. That’s probably the best way to describe the ’81 Ags. We’re hungry — hungry to win. You can feel the excitement and en thusiasm in the dorm, in the locker room and on the field. It’s not a “put-on,” but some- David Bandy thing inside that says we won: be beat. Defeat never evens- ters our conversations, We are close-knit this yeai solid and committed to onegtn — to win every game we pk We’re not overconfident-is just believe. Texas A&M will* watching a team that is cated and willing to make sa fices to win.
