Sunday’
without
In the infamous words of Popeye,
"That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no
more.”
After only one weekend of Cowboyless
television, I am absolutely out of my
mind. 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.

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.
