A Visit from St. Bick
sa
Twas moments before gametime,
when all through Kyle Field
Anticipation was growing, and Reveille heeled;
The Aggies were ready, they’d been coached with care
In hopes that victory soon would be there;
The crowd was standing, all snug in their Keds,
While visions of triumph danced in their heads;
Sherrill in his suit and Kubiak in his pads,
Had made their plans to beat Bostonian lads.
When out on the turf there arose such a racket,
Sherrill paced the sideline in his maroon jacket.
Away to his coaches he flew in a hurry,
To discuss ways to stop Boston’s passing flurry.
The Eagles’ attack through the air and on ground
Gave moments of despair to Aggies all around,
And still, what to astonished eyes should dominate,
But a short little quarterback, and 10 offensive mates,
With a second-year coach, so filled with glee,
Everyone knew in a moment Bicknell it must be.
As rapid as Eagles his players they came,
And he whistled, and shouted,
and called them by name;
Now, Flutie! now, Brennan! now, Schoen and Kowalski!
On, Joyner! on, Poles! on, Guyer and Radachowsky!
To tne end zone! through the uprights!
Keep control of the ball!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!
As fleet receivers who toward the goalposts fly.
When they met with a safety, quickly passed them by;
So over to the end zone the Eagles they flew,
With an armful of football, and Aggie defenders, too.
And then, in an instant, the home team fought back,
Causing Reveille to smile at the A&M attack.
As Sherrill rejoiced, and was starting to clap,
The Eagles woke up and set the Aggies a trap.
Jackson was the first victim of the Boston plot,
But George from Georgia filled the slot;
Tight end Lewis was the next to go,
frank I.
christlieb
They say he’s out for the year, you know.
Dressed in maroon and gold from head to cleat,
The Eagles hoped for an ’81 repeat;
Five easy touchdowns they had under their belt,
Safe, secure and smug they felt.
Their eyes — how they shined! Their hopes how
they soared!
While on the home sideline, the Aggies were floored!
The Boston Brigade made its charge to the end,
But the Fightin’ Texas Aggies tried not to bend.
The disappointed crowd was shocked and amazed,
Sherrill stood on the sideline, still in a daze;
The Aggie comeback didn’t last long enough,
Flutie and Poles were just too tough.
Time ran out with Kubiak’s last throw,
The season opener had been a stiff blow.
Bicknell crossed the field to shake Sherrill’s hand,
Wishing only the best for Jackie and his band.
Bicknell and his Eagles, mission complete,
Made their way to the locker room with an Aggie defeat.
They celebrated, they cheered, they relished the day,
As Sherrill and the Aggies looked on toward UT-A.
Bicknell exclaimed ere he faded into the night,
“Look out, Clemson, we’re ready to fight!”

Flores, Raiders
know challenge
of 49er opener
United Press International
The Raiders, who have had to
adjust after their move from
Oakland to Los Angeles, have a
new worry — they open the
1982 regular season against the
champion San Francisco 49ers.
The Raiders, beaten by the
Cleveland Browns 27-10 Satur
day night to dose out their first
pre-season campaign in Los
Angeles at 2-2, admitted they
were already thinking about
visiting San Frandsco this Sun
day before the Browns’ game.
“In the back of mind,” Raid
ers wide receiver Cliff Branch
said, “I was thinking about the
49ers.”
Los Angeles coach Tom
Flores said: “We didn’t play well.
I don’t know what it was. We
were fiat. We beat ourselves.
Next week is the one that
counts.”
Brian Sipe completed his first
eight passes and finished with
three touchdowns while dire
cting the razor-sharp Cleveland
offense that outgained the Raid
ers 354 yards to 250 yards and
led in first downs, 23-14.
Jim Plunkett, who gave way to
Marc Wilson in the second half,
completed 11-of-19 passes for
156 yards for the Raiders. Sipe
completed 14-of-24 for 175
yards before he was replaced by
Paul McDonald in the fourth
quarter.
Only 38,840 of the 53,460
fans who bought tickets for the
game showed up. The Raiders
sold more than 54,000 tickets
for their first game in Los
Angeles last Sunday, but only
slightly more than 40,000 fans
attended the contest against the
Green Bay Packers.
Meanwhile, the other Los
Angeles club, the Rams, traded
uarterback Jeff Rutledge Sun-
ay to the New York Giants for
an undisclosed draft choice.
Rutledge, 25, a four-year
veteran who was a backup be
hind a succession of second-
string quarterbacks, was ac
quired by the Giants to play be
hind Scott Brunner, a replace
ment for injured starter Phil
Simms.
As the pre-season ended
Saturday, only Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and Denver finished
with 4-0 records.
