The Texas A&M volleyball team hopes to be flying high as it opens
Southwest Conference play tonight at 7:30 against Houston in G.
Rollie White Coliseum. Aggie middle blocker Stacey Smith (3) gets

The last time the Texas A&M vol
leyball team met up with Houston,
the trip didn’t involve just a simple
van ride down Highway (i. Anti it
didn’t count in the Southwest Con
ference standings either.
The teams traveled 1,500 miles to
compete in the Michelob Lighl/Aztec
Classic in San Diego last month and
ended up playing one another in
third-place match.
Although it didn’t start out well
for the Aggies, they arose from their
slumber just in time to take the
match 3-15, 15-6, 15-7, 15-10.
A&M and Houston meet again to
night at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White
Coliseum. Only this time, it’s a little
closer to home for both teams.
“I don’t think that (losing the ilrst
game of the UH match) will be any
big deal,” A&M Coach Terry Con
don said. ‘‘We were down mentally
when we played them there (in San
Diego). I tnink they’ll be nervous just
knowing they have to come into G.
Rollie.”
If last season’s match is any indica
tion, the Cougars might indeed be
just a little worried about playing be
fore the always noisy A&M crowd.
The Dunn Hall Bleacher Bums
rattled Houston and Coach Dave Ol-
bright. In fact, the Cougars went so
far as to file a protest with league of
ficials.
“Where I come from, they
wouldn't have let that harassment
during the serve go on,” said Ol-
bright after last year’s match. “The
large crowds are good lor volleyball,
but there’s a difference between en
thusiasm and harassment.”
Condon thinks that last year’s epi
sode should give the No. 19 Aggies a
psychological advantage.
“I think it will be a very big fac
tor,” Condon said. "They were really
mad at Dunn last year. I (old (Ol-
bright) he should listen to his own
crowd. The crowds are good for col
lege volleyball. They're supposed to
lie rowdv.”

The Cougars’ crowd hasn't had

But regardless of Houston's «•
cord, Condon said it’s always a ban!;

“Houston is going to be tougli:
Condon said. “We have to be radi
to play. We need to play our or

Baylor, SMU tired of taking back seal

Associated Press
Once every two years, the Baylor
Bears meet Southern Methodist in
Dallas on the second weekend of Oc
tober — and inevitably take a back
seat to two other schools.
On that weekend, the annual
Texas-Oklahoma clash grabs head
lines and airwaves.
“I’ve been ' mildly irriated that
through the years we have had to
play second fiddle to the fexas-Ok-
lahoina game,” Baylor Coach Grant
Teaff said. “A lot of times we have
had the much ixMier game, but no
body seems to know it."
T eaff would like for the SWC of
fice to find a solution, but isn’t sure
what it would be.
“We tried playing the game in
W’aco every year but SMU really
didn’t want to do that,” said Teaff.
“Sometimes we have a lot better
football game and I'd like to see the
game get more recognition.”
Asked about the “billing" compe
tition against Oklahoma and Texas,
SMU Coach Bobby Collins joked,
“Oh, I didn’t realize they were play-
ing."
Getting serious, Collins said ino
ample ol how Texas-Oklahomagtt
