EXACT CAT TUE OMClNMATl r3EP9 \MDOLP gt matu&matically EUKAIKIATEP FROM WlMMltlG TUE PEKltWT. by Tracey Taylor Battalion Reporter While you were munching on unshelled peanuts and pre packaged popcorn, other peo ple at Saturday’s Aggie football game were feasting on shrimp. The Texas A&M Food Ser vices Department, the same peo- ple who bring you Sbisa and the Commons, provides a wide vari ety of hot foods, party trays and snacks to the private suites lo cated between the second and third decks of Kyle Field. The food is delivered one hour before the game or at half time, depending on what the customer prefers, said Lloyd Smith, Assistant Director of Operations in the Food Services Department. Menus are mailed by the Food Services Department to suite owners at the beginning of each football season. Orders may be placed for each game by calling the Food Services De partment before noon Wednes day during the week of a game. Resembling a fancy embossed wedding invitation printed in maroon ink, the menu opens with a pledge by the Food Ser vices Department to “do every thing we can to make this a great 1982 season for you.” Selections on the menu range in price from $4.10 to $95. According to the menu, the selections are prepared to serve eight to 12 people, but Smith says that the meals will serve up to 20 people. ROCK N ROLL ROCK N ROLL ROCK * VJ O e Live Rock n' Roll a o n K The most expensive item on the menu is the “Turkey Feast with Cornbread Dressing.” This meal consists of a whole roasted turkey garnished with pineap ple and peaches, giblet gravy, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce, buttered early peas, orange glazed sweet potatoes, rolls and butter, pumpkin and apple pie. A relish platter with crisp celery and carrot sticks, olives and sweet gherkin pickles is also included. In the more expensive price range is what is the “Ice Cold Shrimp” meal. This includes 75 large shrimp and a pint of tangy cocktail sauce. For the economy-minded, there is the “Cold Fried Chicken Box,” for only $54. This in cludes of four chickens, which, according to the menu, are fried in “one of Texas A&M’s favorite FEATURING O E recipes.’ The favorite this week. Smith said, was the “Sliced Bar-B-Q Beef in Rich Sauce,” with beans, potato salad and cole slaw. Bar- B-Q is usually the most prefer red, Smith said, but the most popular selection varies de pending on the time of the year. A wide variety of fruits and nuts are available. Coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and mixers are also offered. Alcohol is not served but is not prohibited either. Wally Groff, Associate Athletic Dire ctor for Finance, said: “If they want to provide it themselves, they can.” The menu also has such items as cocktail napkins embossed with the Texas A&M logo for $3 and trash bags (probably embos sed as well) for 50y apiece. If absolutely necessary, wai ter or waitress service can be arranged at the cost of $30 for a maximum of four hours, tips not included. So next week, when you get the munchies during halftime, and have to settle for conces sion-stand nachos, look across the field to the row of glass boxes and try to visualize a suite owner with his “Fightin’ Texas Aggie Chili with Crackers.” Td£OMWOJEt)GUB JUNE- i A r Players spend game day in several different ways 'SC O e Come EarCy for Preferred Seats FREE BEER > 1 BAR DRINKS doCCcxjc. cStatio n’l fine. DtaLian zeetauzant 696-7311 O E by Kelly Krauskopf Battalion Reporter For some students, football game day means recuperating from Friday night parties and relaxing until game time. But for the Aggie football team, game days are devoted to mental preparation. Each player has his own method of getting mentally pre pared. Some visualize making tackles or catching passes while others try not to think about the game at all. Middle linebacker Jerry Bullitt tries to block the game out totally. “I try not to think about the game at all until game time com es because at that time you have to concentrate so hard it takes a lot out of you,” Bullitt said. However, offensive lineman Tim Ward uses a different method of mental preparation. “I try to visualize myself doing certain plays,” Ward said. “I look over my playbook while I’m in my room and go over plays in my mind.” In order to direct the players’ attention to nothing but the game, all telephone service in Cain Hall is cut off on the day of the game. A typical game day schedule starts with the players rising at 8:30 a.m. and eating breakfast at 9 a.m. in the Cain Hall dining room. After breakfast, Head Coach Jackie Sherrill and the players take a walk around the Rudder fountain area and the Memorial Student Center. Place-kicker David Hardy said the purpose of the walk is to help the team relax. “This is the first time we’ve been out since the night before,” Hardy said. “I think walking around just kind of loosens ev erybody up after breakfast.” Following the walk, the Aggies return to Cain Hall for 40-minute meetings. Each er meets with his special uti such as the offensive or defec sive line, to go over plays an game-type situations. After the meetings, the ten has free time from 11 a.m. p.m. Some players use thistit for sleeping, reading or watd ing television. “I don’t really do anything* of the ordinary — just watc television,” Hardy said. Bullitt said he tries to relasa much as possible before lit game. “I think it’s really importai to relax,” he said. “I justl around and watch other g on TV or listen to music.’ At 2 p.m., a pre-game meal: served in the Maroon Roow ivhol Cain Hall.
