“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. In other words,
will see a team that ispayinjth
price
We sincerely thank Godh
the tremendous talent we
on the 1981 Aggie squad, fc
character of the men on I
team, for the quality coaches*
have and for the Twef
(the greatest fans in the cot
try). Wearealsothankfulfortli
desire God has given us toem!
and to win.
You see, we’re proud toh
wearing the maroon and whit
and if we didn’t believe went;
going to be champions lk
Texas A&M can be proud of,w
