Thursday, November 7, 1985AThe Battalion/Page 9 Texas' Stone-Age offense enough for Dallas Watch out, Dallas. For the second time in a year, Texas’ self-proclaimed “leading citv of chic” will oe subjected to a boorisn team with even tackier orange uni forms. You heard it here first, sports fans. The Texas Longhorns, with the seventh-best offense and fifth- best defense in the Southwest Con ference, will win the SWC title. The team that was held to 86 total yards (as in 31 fewer than A&M’s Anthony Toney rushed for against SMU) in a 14-7 fiasco-loss to Okla homa, will return to the scene of their (no) offense against an oppo nent that will most likely be the Big- 10 runner-up. Due to Onio State’s victory over former No.l-ranked Iowa, the Big- 10 runner-up stands to be a Hawk- eye team that squeaked past the self same Big Orange in a tight one (55- 17) in last year’s (oh, please, God, give the Longhorns their) Freedom Bowl. Can this atrocity possibly be averted? Can anything be done to save Big D from Fred and his foot ball Flintstones? The answers lie in the remaining schedules of the conference con tenders. Baylor leads the SWC with a 5-0 record and needs only two wins in its remaining three games to win the ti tle. And since Rice is one of the three names on their list, the Bears are a shoo-in, right? Wrong. Baylor’s other two oppo nents are Arkansas and Texas, and neither game will be played in the friendly confines of “Bear Country”. And don’t bet on a Baylor victory in Austin. Texas hasn’t lost to Baylor at home since 1951. The odds of the Bears escaping Little Rock with a victory areni much better. BRANDON BERRY Sports Viewpoint So, forget about the Bears — ship them off to the Peach, Cherry or the Florida Citrus Bowl — and contem plate the chances of Ken Hatfield’s Arkansas Piggies. Arkansas laces a big game when Baylor invades Little Rock this Sat urday. But the Hogs had better get used to big games because they have quite a few left to play. Texas A&M and SMU still remain on their sched ule, neither of which stands to be a pushover. So sizzle the chances of the Ozark Sausages and herd the Hogs off to the Sun, Liberty or the (even pork tastes better with) Bluebonnet (on it) Bowl. As for Texas A&M, it has a favor able schedule the rest of the way with Arkansas and Texas at home, and TCU (Totally Chance-less Uni versity) on the road. They also have the most prolific offense in the SWC and perhaps the quickest defense in the nation. The only problem with A&M is that they haven’t been able to put all their in dividual components together with the consistency that indicates they can beat both Arkansas and Texas. Three wins in a row might be ex pecting a bit much from a team that is just now learning how to win. So ship the Aggies off to the Holi day, Independence, Liberty or Sun Bowl, and leave the Farmers to plant their serious Cotton in ’86. That only leaves you-know-w'ho to represent tne you-know-what in the you-know-where, and God only knows how they will have done it. Texas plays at Houston this week end, then hosts TCU and Baylor be fore its season-ending trip to Aggie- land. And therein lies one of the rea sons for the Longhorns making their way to Dallas. Of their remaining opponents, only Baylor and A&M are capable of beating the ’Horns, and Baylor’s last win in Austin was 11 years before the Bay of Pigs (who, as we already know, aren’t going to Dallas, either). Texas will win the title, it appears, because they have to beat the odds only one more time this season, as opposed to the rest of the contend ers, who have to face rough sledding at least twice apiece. But, more important than any twists of the schedule, the Long horns have been in the contender E osition more times than Rocky Bal- oa, and they have plenty of experi ence in landing on their hooves and plodding up the garden path. Anyway, cows are big on TV these days and that’s a chilling omen for anyone who notices such things. So, the ’Horns will win, the Hawk- eyes (or whoever) will pass, pass, pass the ball against them, the s;nt up and the con- scoreboard w ill light up; ference observers will be shaking their heads, wondering how these mediocre “mooers” made it once again. Meanwhile, Fred (Akers), Pebbles (Dodge), Bam-Bam (Stafford) will load up their prehistoric offense and | head up 1-35 with as much of a j chance to beat any Big-10 runner-up as Dino would have against Godzilla. And Dallas will have to deal with ugly cheerleaders, ugly uniforms, an ugly final score and an ugly host team that doesn’t do anything well but win the championships of aj| league w'here few of the other teams have yet learned how. Aggie Spikers Win Big (continued from page 8) ting .333 with 11 kills. Setter Lesha Beaklev rolled all over the floor, sav ing ball after ball, and leading the Agsin digs with 15. “Margaret played very well," Con don said. “We got good leadership from both Lesha and Chris (Zogata). They did a good job setting the oall.” And Steensma, who was starting only her third match of the season, used a bow and arrow serve, that was on target most of the night, to down the Red Raiders. “I don’t try to do anything fancy with my serve,” the San Ramon, Calif, product said. “I just try to get it over. ” With Steensma serving, the Ag gies made their big runs on tne scoreboard. In the second game, Steensma served nine straight points to put the Ags up 11-0, popping Tech’s upset bubble. “That s our strongest rotation,” Condon said. “Tonight (without Bla- singame) it was one of their weakest. When we have Chris, Sherri and Sta cey up (at the net), it is definitely our strongest rotation.” However, Martin said it wasn’t so much what the Ags did, but what the Raiders didn’t do. “I’m very disappointed in my team,” the first-year coach said. “We made life easy for them.” But Brinkman disagreed. “If we lose, it’s usually because we beat ourselves,” the Aggie All-Amer ican said, “not because the other team beats us.” THE BUSINESS News letter of the College of Business Administration Volume 8, Number 1 Paid Advertising By the College of Business Administration The Business Student Council and Room 101 Blocker Have you ever realized five minutes before a very important test that you for got your scantron and pencil at home?

For the '86 Fair Week the College anticipates even more partici pation by both students and firms than in the past. The Week begins Monday with Retailing symposiums and a welcoming reception. Tues day and Wednesday, company booths will be placed in the Blocker Building enabling students to get acquainted with the firms in which they many have an interest. Tuesday features the annual Career Fair Banquet and Awards Presentation of the College. Business Week also presents a Thursday Women in Business symposium and seminars on a variety of topics of interest to students throughout the week. The '85 Business Career Fair proved quite successful with 65 firms in attendance. The Monday Retailing symposium consisted of semi nars on topics such as “Is Retailing for You?", “Surviving the Inter view”, and “Real Estate Development.” In the evening, a welcoming re ception was held for the company representatives, giving them the opportunity to interact socially with students. Tuesday and Wednesday were the booth days of the Fair. Forty firms set up booths in the Blocker Building as information locations to answer student’s questions. This gives students a time and place to get acquainted with the various firms. Tuesday night, the College’s out standing students were recognized at a banquet featuring a special ta ble for each company. Here, once again, the students had the opportu nity to talk to the representatives of these companies. On Thursday and Friday, the Business Week concluded by offering a Women in Business symposium with guests speakers talking on topics such as “Ca reers in Management”, “Building a Business Empire One Step at a Time”, and “Seeking Success: Planning, Risking, and Doing.” Students who are interested in being a part of the up and coming Business Week can sign up to help with one of the following Business Career Fair committees.
