Battalion/Page 15 February 23, 1983 ^23,1| sports Did you ever wonder how Andy Rooney views A&M? iholo by Di'i next ha I Every Suntlay when I turn on the tube and watch 60 Minutes, I can hardly wait for the end of the show and “A few mi nutes with Andy Rooney” — what a joke. Rooney’s “did you ever wonder” bit is getting a little old. Did you ever wonder what Rooney would have to say about Aggieland athle tics? What would he have to say about ackie, Shelby, Tom Chandler and the [Twelfth Man? Let’s pretend. A FEW MINUTES WITH ANDY ROONEY ON AGGIELAND: “Did you ever wonder if Jackie Sher rill owns a sports coat in a color other than maroon? Or, have you ever won dered if Sherrill’s wife still remembers hat he looks like after Sherrill’s seem- igly endless recruiting trips? Did she [throw a coming home party on Feb. 9 [(national signing day for recruits)? “And did you ever wonder if the Uni- ersity of California is going to break in he 12th Man kickof f team next year with mother 5-lateral kickoff return like they lid to win the game against Stanford this ear? “And have you ever wondered if Shel- jy Metcalf is really smiling when he sits m the Aggie bench with that sheepish in on his face? If not, what does he look ike when he does smile? Or have you ver wondered if Metcalf would do a re- erse slam jam thank you ma’am if he ad springs for legs like Lowell (‘boy how love to slam’) McHenry? Or would he xecute to perfection the one-foot-on- the-ground-I-don’t-care-if-its-boring lay-up. “And have you ever wondered if all those Aggies in G. Rollie White Coliseum are really reading The Battalion when the opposition is introduced, or are they just looking for pizza coupons? “Or have you ever wondered if Reveil le had a reason for doing her deeds at mid-court during half-time of the Hous ton game? Was there an underlying mes sage to be learned from her escapade? “Did you ever wonder how Houston head coach Guy Lewis would have reacted if he had seen the incident? Would he have scoffed at Reveille — or would the incident have brought thoughts of the UPI pollsters to his mind? “Or did you ever wonder how baseball coach Tom Chandler learned how to whistle so loud? Does he have whistling practice while his players are having bat ting practice? And exactly how much of Olsen Field is watered with water and how much with chewing-tobacco spit? “Have you ever wondered why more Aggies don’t go to home baseball games? Is it possible that the baseball team is neglected because there isn’t a 10th Man tradition at Olsen Field similar to the 12th Man tradition at Kyle Field.? “Why doesn’t someone start a 10th Man tradition? And ifthereisa 10th Man tradition started at the ball park, what would we do during the seventh-inning stretch? Will it be called the seventh inning sit? “Did you ever wonder if we would have a 12th Man tradition at all if E. King Gill (original 12th Man) would have made it into the game and fumbled? “And what about the women athletes in Aggieland? Did you ever wonder how tall the men are that date players from the Aggie Lady basketball team? Why don’t they play basketball? “Have you ever wondered how athletic traditions will change in the future as the University increasingly grows liberal? Will we have to change our “Farmers fight” yell to “Radicals romp?” And will of Army come to be known as young preppies? Who’ll work on the bonf ire — redpots or pink Polos? “And did you ever wonder if this col umn was ever going to end? Well, you can stop wondering.” TANK MFNAMARA by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds A WHOLE KJeW PfZo football L£NbOB ? kbW OOULO IT S’MEAK OUK lktfELLl0EMC£ m ft- 1 AgaIn^T fTLTIfTMTiONJ ltd pto ROOT^AU- A CeRTAikJ GOM&OkJE MG&LI&BMT Ik) MOS1ITOZIKJ& IT WA& THE HE le^MAW TROPHY THE QUI VEj2lklGr APULATiOkJ HEAPEP MEN) UEDjJ A ^O-YEAR-OLP WHO PLAYE RTTT^ALL. l- I— COUUPKI'T TAKE IT ANY MOPE... Coogs beat MHB twice to remain undefeated United Press International HOUSTON —Junior pitcher Greg Brinkman Fired a two-hitter and rightfielder Dan Larson capped a nine-run fourth inning with a three-run homer in the second game Tuesday for the Uni versity of Houston, which swept a doubleheader from Mary Hardin Baylor, 6-1 and 1 1-0. Brinkman walked three and struck out five. In the fourth inning, leading 2-0, the Cougars sent 14 men to the plate and battered three Crusader pitchers. With one out, leftfielder Gary Wright walked, then Mark Massey doubled him home and moved to third on Billy Savarino’s single. Steve Seberger bunted Massey home with the Cougars’ fourth run before Larson took Crusader pitcher J.D. Meeker’s first pitch deep over the leftfield fence to give Houston a 7-0 lead. In the first game, Cougar pitcher Aty Garcia threw a four-hitter and struck out 10 batters for his First victory of the season. The big blow of the game came in the sixth on a Savarino pinch three- run homer off Crusader Doug Delany. Houston improved its record to 6-0 on the sea son, while Mary Hardin Baylor dropped to 3-10- 1. rail Blazers beat ockets, 113-107 TS United Press International HOUSTON — Portland guard Jim Paxson led the Trail Blazers and Saiurjo a j 13.107 victory over the Houston Rockets late Tuesday, but he ace HardiaiH it was team play that allowed him to chalk up 28 points. ■“This team makes sure I get the ball in the right places. If I move and get open, they give me the ball,” he said. “For a player like Paxson to be ef f ective, the rest of the offense ^ to move the ball to him,” said Portland Coach Jack Ramsay. jPortland took command of the game on a 12-4 spurt at the start of the third period, and Paxson was in the middle of that rally, accounting for four points on two jump shots. [■ Mychal Thompson, who scored 22 points, hit three buckets during the surge. ■The victory was the Fifth straight for Portland. It was the sixth ri s^n rjOnsecutive loss for Houston, even though the Rockets shot a hot 85 percent in the second period. ■ Allen Leavell keyed the Houston offense, connecting on 8-of-9 1 shpts for 16 points in the quarter. He finished the night with 30 *(l III P ()mts an H eight assists. RAt one stretch in the First half, the Rockets made 22 consecutive field goals, the longest string in the club’s history, but Ramsay said that did not slow the Blazers.
