In one corner, Bruiser Brodie
takes on Cyndi Lauper. In the other
corner, Hulk Hogan glares hatefully
at Kermit the Frog. And in the mid

Which one would you watch?
As the four remaining SWC title
contenders wrestle for this season’s
Cotton Bowl berth, a national ESPN
audience will be treated to the “Von
Erich” Aggies for the second consec
utive weeK, this time against the
“Schwarzhronambo-backs'’ ol \i-
kansas.
In other SWC games, the “Hulk
Hogan Horns” will he entertaining

when thev host the Miss-Piggy loving
Wacker-backers from TCI’.
Meanwhile, a wierd team from
Rice, possessing no quarterback, no
running game, no defense and the
sixth-best SWC record (?), travels to
“Bear Country to tackle Baylor,
while SMU plays host to those re
cord-setting Red Raiders from
Texas Tech.
No wonder the Von Erichs are so
popular.
Texas Tech at SMU
The only game that means absolu
tely nothing to anyone.
The Mustangs have lost all the
original incentives with which they
headed into this season — they can
no longer finish with a No. I na
tional ranking, they can no longer
finish undefeated, they can no
longer win the SWC and they never
could go to the Cotton Bowl
Tech, meanwhile, proved last
week the difference between eighth
and ninth place in the conference to
be 56 points and a record-setting
passing performance.
The Mustangs are vulnerable to
the pass, especially against a team
with a roll-out quarterback who can
avoid the pass rush applied by the
Ponies’ Jerry Ball and Joe Phillips

terbacks.
The Baylor veer offense will
plunge through the under-sized
Rice defensive line, and when the
Owd secondary moves up to cover
the run, Bear quarterbacks Tom
Muecke and Cody Carlson will
throw the ball deep, complete and
often.
Baylor missed its first and best
chance at the Cotton Bowl in last
week’s loss to the Hogs, and the
Bears w'ill probably pay fen their lack
of opportunism.
But so will the Rice Owls — Baylor
48, Rice 13.
TCU at Texas
Texas hosts a team that lost 63-7
last week to the eighth-best team in
the SWC.
The Texas running backs are
power-set backs instead of Tec h’s
wishbone runners — and l exas runs
the ball better than Tech.
The ’Horn offensive line is bigger
and stronger than the T ech front.
And, coincidentally, they’re also bet
ter.
So, what happens when the worst
team in the conference and maybe in
all of Division l-A meets up with one
of the four SWC’ contenders?
UT quarterback Brett Stafford
will pass, but not too much. The
Longhorns will run the ball like bat
tering rams, but not too much. And
Texas will run up the score, but not
too much.
And what about the Horned
Frogs? There’s not too much to sav
— Texas 52, TCU 10.
Arkansas at Texas A&M
Maybe the best game of the year
to date in the SWC.
Two teams who have reached
their offensive and defensive peaks
meet in an end-of-the-year game
with championship implications.
The best option attack in the
tion meets,a quick defense that spe
cializes in shutting down the option
while the conference’s most baf
anced offensive unit faces the SWC s
most ferocious defense.
And neither team has significantly
relied on the big play to win their
games.
