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 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? The Business Student Council can help
you out!
We sell green and red scantrons, pencils, and pens in Room 101 Blocker
Monday through Friday. Room 101 also is a lost and found room for items lost in
the Blocker Building. If you lose anything in Blocker, come by Room 101 and see if
it has been found. Handouts explaining each major in the College of Business are
also in Room 101, as well as handouts describing the societies and associations
affiliated with each major. If you are not involved in a business student organiza
tion (Marketing Society, Data Processing Management Association, Finance As
sociation, Management Society, Accounting Society), or have not yet decided on a
major, come by Room 101 and someone on the Business Student Council can talk
with you about joining an organization or choosing a major.
Each year the Business Student Council sponsors events such as the High
School Career Day and The College of Business Administration Career Fair. The
High School Career Day, held October 19, was very successful and exposed hun
dreds of high school students to the College of Business. We still need all the help
we can get to work on this year’s Career Fair! There are many committees to work
on. Committee workers are in close contact with recruiters and get to know them
on a personal basis. If you are interested in working on a Career Fair committee,
come by Room 101 Blocker, or sign up at our Career Fair table in the Blocker
Lobby November 11-15. Groups represented on the Business Student Council

More than 70 companies and several thousand students annually par
ticipate in The Business Week and Business Career Fair hosted each
Spring by the College of Business Administration. The 1986 Fair is set
for February 3, 4, and 5th in the Blocker Building. Business Week,
Monday through Friday February 3-7th, brings many visiting exec-
utives to the Business College classrooms.
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. Please either call the chairperson listed, or
sign up in the Business Student Council office, room 101 in the
Blocker Building ( P h . # 8 4 5 -13 2 0 ).
