There I was, sitting in front of my 15-inch black and white RCA with a pap er bag full of popcorn and my official 7-Eleven Harvey Martin slurpee cup Fil led with tea. I knew the strike had been going on for five days already, but I was confident the game would start right on time. Sure ly the Cowboys — “America’s Team” — would show the NFL that they play foot ball for the fun of it, not the money. Well, just as surely as I thought “Too Tall” Jones would be a good boxer, I was wrong. The Cowboys weren’t on the tube and neither were the Oilers (yes, I am one of the few Texans who roots for both teams. I must admit, however, that the Cowboys have an edge in my book). How could they do this to me? Don’t they know that without Sunday football, I had to resort to, of all things, STUDYING? Needless to say, I would much rather have been watching the “Manster” or “Touchdown Tony” do their stuff all over the Vikings than watch my books s not the same America’s team and hope the material would sink in through the power of positive thinking. In an effort to get my regular dose of Sunday football and find an excuse to get away from the books, I turned on the TV to find some semblance of a game on the airways. I hoped that maybe two teams had broken the strikeline and decided to play. In the state of shock and confusion I was in I would have settled for anything. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers — well, maybe not the Steelers, but any of the other 27 teams would have been fine. What did I find? Nothing. NBC was broadcasting Canadian foot ball and CBS was showing last year’s Su per Bowl. I don’t want to see a repeat of last year’s Super Bowl. It was boring. The only thing worth watching was the reac tion of Dwight Clark’s girlfriend (the for mer Miss Universe) whenever Clark made a good play. The Cowboys weren’t in it, so it wasn’t important. And as for Canadian football, all I have to say is “huh?” They say the rules of the CFL are based on those of the NFL but I can’t find a likeness. Maybe the CFL commissioner didn’t have his glasses on when he was copying the rules out of the NFL rulebook. I’m sure there are plenty of exciting games played in the CFL, but I find it hard to get involved in the intricacies of a particular game when I’m still trying to figure out how a team can score I point in a football game. I have a hard time even pronouncing the names of the cities. Winne-who? Saskatche-what? There’s no substitute for the NFL. College football shouldn’t even be com pared to pro ball. Some of the talent is comparable, but they are two different leagues and should be treated as such. They both have advantages and dis advantages. I just hope the strike is resolved so the players can start worrying about winning one for the Gipper instead of winning one for the accountant or lawyer who drew up their no-cut contracts. If it’s money they want, I’ll be happy to sell my car and send the money to Ed Garvey so he can divvy it up among the players. Anyone want to buy a ’76 Monarch with a leaky radiator? A&M sweeps Bulldogs by John Wagner Battalion Staff The Texas Aggies swept two games from Louisiana Tech Tuesday, capturing their fifth straight shutout and their sixth straight victory. The Aggie machine is rolling right along. Lori Stoll and Shan McDonald, ever-important cogs in a fine-tuned grind to a nation al championship, were the win ning pitchers for the Aggies. Stoll is now 12-0 on the year. McDonald is 10-2. Stoll and McDonald have led the Aggies to one tournament title, one tournament second place, and four double-header sweeps so far this season. And against Louisiana Tech, the Aggies’ state-of-the-art. pep® pitching was aided by the bats of Iva Jackson, Cindy Cooper and Debbie Rollman, who punched out just enough hits to keep the gears turning. The Aggies won the first game 2-0, with Stoll striking out nine batters and giving up two hits. The Aggies scored both runs in the sixth inning. With one out, Jackson singled. Josie Car ter then popped up to second base, and Jackson scored when Carrie Austgen tripled. Linda Lancaster brought Au stgen home with an RBI single. The Aggies had six total hits in the first game. McDonald pitched her first no-hitter of the year in the second game as the Aggies romped to a 6-0 victory. The 22-2 Aggies play a dou ble-header against Sam Hous ton State University tonight, with the first game beginning at 5 at Travis Field. Bill Galloway, the Aggie softball team’s former coach, talks over the matters at hand with members of his Louisiana Tech squad. Galloway, who left A&M staff photo by John Ryan before the 1981 season, watched the Bulldogs lose two straight games to the Aggies Tuesday afternoon in Travis Park. Texas A&M won 2-0 and 6-0.
