The A&M Attendance Myth
Aggies could use more support from fans
By Tim Stanfield
Sports Writer
Editor’s note: this column does
not include statistics from the cur
rent season.
“Aggie football fans always follow
their football team, regardless of its
record.”
Nothing ____________
could be fur- /-v—;—la
ther from the
truth. Indeed,
the above is one
of the biggest myths concerning
Texas A&M either in or out of ath
letics.
While Kyle Field has undergone a
tremendous expansion since 1971,
at no time at any point has it been
filled anywhere near capacity on a
regular basis.
Attendance between the years
1971 and 1986 inclusive has aver
aged a pathetic 51,280, which would
have filled our home stadium before
the initial expansion took place in
1975.
Inasmuch as it now holds about
76,000, one can readily see that nei
ther A&M students nor its proud
alumni have been interested in
Filling it each game.
What’s the big deal, you say? How
many other colleges pack them in all
the time, regardless of their team’s
record, or the opponent, or the
weather, or anything else?
Well, for one thing, teams like Ne
braska, Michigan, Ohio State, Okla
homa, Georgia, and Clemson always
play before crowds that exceed their
stadiums’ listed capacities.
When Texas A&M played Michi
gan in 1977, a crowd of 104,802
watched in glee as the Wolverines
pounded the Ags 41-3.
Yet it was no big deal to them be
cause they had a waiting list of about
30,000 fans who yearned to attend
the games but couldn’t.
However, the main reason it is a
big deal to this long-time A&M fan is
that my football team deserves to
play before sellout crowds too, and
yet the very people who say that they
follow the team don’t.
The years 1971-1986 coincide
with A&M’s explosion from a uni
versity of about 13,000 students to
one of 36,000.
Such a tremendous growth of
people who either live in or near the
Bryan-College Station area should
alone have been enough to handle
Kyle Field’s expansion, hut it didn’t.
The corresponding huge increase
in Aggie graduates with the result
ing increase in the number of fami
lies following the Ags could have
also handled it.
Even the fact that A&M won two
outright Southwest Conference titles
plus one tri-championship during
these years didn’t fill it up, though it
did increase the crowds.
As one who attended each and ev
ery one of the last 89 games, I can at
test to the fact that unless the Unver-
sity of Texas was the opponent, the
chances of packing the place were
slim and none.
Games against the Longhorns
have provided three of the four
crowds here that have exceeded
70,000, having the top two crowds of
77,607 and 76,751 in 1985 and 19i
respectively.
The Baylor Bears drew an incm
ible 74,739 for one of the most esc
ing games ever played here (whic
A&M won 31-30 after trailing 174

Darryl McDonald, Texas
A&M’s star guard on this year’s
basketball team, is 6-foot-4, 175
pounds and has an Olive Oyl
build. His legs are so skinny that
A&M Head Coach Shelby,Metcalf
once quipped, “Darryl is proof
that we don’t use steroids.”
But ironically, if the Aggies are
to have any chance of having a re
spectable season, it will have to be
McDonald who carries the team
on his back.
“Of course Darryl’s going to
have to have a big season,” Met
calf said. “But, we’ve got to figure
that’s not a variable, but a con
stant. We’re just figuring on him
having a big year.”
Last season the Aggies finished
the season with a 17-14 record.
They were 6-10 in the Southwest
Conference, finishing eighth in a
nine team conference. But they
became the first eighth place
team ever to win the SWC Classic
by beating TCU, Texas Tech and
Baylor, earning them an auto
matic bid to the NCAA Tourna
ment. They lost to Duke 58-51 in
the first round.
However, gone from last year’s
team are four starters, Winston
Crite, Todd Holloway, Mike Clif
ford and John Trezvant, who be
came academically ineligible after
he “had a problem getting to
class” when the coaches left town
to recruit, Metcalf said.
McDonald, the lone returning
starter, is predicting another win
ning season for A&M despite the
personnel losses.
“From how we practice and
play, I think we’re going to be
good,” the senior said. “We’ve got
some good players who play hard
and work hard. If we play like we
practice, go out and work hard,
and do what we have to do, I
think we’re going to win a lot of
games.”
To bolster the other starting
positions, Metcalf who is begin
ning his 25th year as A&M’s head
coach, is looking to two transfers,
one redshirt and one returning
part-time starter.
Transfers Doug Dennis and
Donald Thompson will man two
positions in the front court.
Dennis, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound
junior, will play center for the
Aggies. Thompson, 6-foot-7, 225
pounds will replace Crite at one
of the forward positions.
“I’m happy with Donald,” Met
calf said. “He’s a good player.
He’s like Winston. Winston

Redshirt sophomore Jameif
McGhee, 6-foot-1, is slated to
start at the other guard position
alongside his former juco back-
court partner McDonald. McG
hee and McDonald played to
gether for one year at
Westchester Community College
in New York. The pair visited!
A&M together two years ago and!

McGhee was redshirted last sea
son after injurying an ankle.
“McGhee plays bigger than he
is,” Metcalf said. “He and Mc
Donald have good chemistry
They play well together. McG
hee’s our most improved player
this year.”
Senior Paul Crawford, who
started four games last season,
will start at the other forward po
sition. The 6-foot-5 Crawford av
eraged 4.4 points and 2.2 re
bounds per game last season.
Although A&M lacks a legiti

‘D-Mack’ steps into familiar role
of leader as season approaches
By Anthony Wilson
Sports Writer
For one night, Texas A&M
guard Darryl McDonald joined
an elite group of basketball play
ers who can capture the country’s
imagination with a move. Not just
any move mind you, but a spec
tacular move. An astonishing
move. A Cable News Network
Play of the Day move.
On Jan. 19, in a home game
against the University of Hous
ton, McDonald made a move that
won’t soon be forgotten. McDon
ald drove to the left side of the
basket, only to find Cougar cen
ter Greg Anderson blocking his
path. McDonald elevated just as
Anderson did, faked a shot,
brought the ball down and
around Anderson’s body and
scooped the ball into the basket.
“Cadillac (Anderson) — he’s
that type of player who likes to
jump and block shots,” McDonald
said. “I said, ‘Well once I get him
in the air going that way, I’ll just
bring it down and put it right
back behind him.’ It’s not like it
was planned. I just did it.”
Later that night, CNN fea
tured McDonald’s move as its
Play of the Day.
“I thought it was great,” Mc
Donald said laughing. “I watch
CNN every night. I just hap
pened to be watching it and the
man on TV said, ‘Let’s go down
to College Station.’ When he said
that I said, ‘What are you talking
about?’
“Then he showed me and I just
started breakin’. I was happy. I
ain’t ever been that happy. And it
came on at one o’clock (a.m.)
again and I caught it. Then it
came on at four and I watched it
again. That made me feel real
good.”
McDonald, a senior point
guard, transferred last season
from Westchester Community
College in New York. His path
from the playgrounds of Harlem
to Texas A&M has been an un
usual one.
McDonald dropped out of
high school in the ninth grade
and never played high school
ball. He earned his GED four
years later. At that time he was
playing basketball on play
grounds and in summer tourna
ments with collegiate players
when someone took notice of his
considerable talents.
“I was handling myself and
somebody saw that and asked me
if I went to school and I said ‘No,’
” McDonald said. “Then he asked
me if I wanted to go back to
school. I said, ‘Yeah, why not?’ ”
McDonald earned junior col
lege All-America honors his sec
ond year after averaging 18
points and seven rebounds per
game. His team went 61-9 during
his stay at Westchester.
W’hen it came time to sign with
a major college, McDonald was
eager to leave New York City.
“They (A&M coaches) brought
me and (teammate) James McG
hee down for a visit,” he said.
“They showed me a good time
and I liked it here. And I wanted
to get out of New York. There’s a
lot of stuff like drugs and mur
ders happening and I don’t par
ticularly like to be around that
stuff. I can deal with this. I like it
here.
“I like the city. I’ve been there
all my life and grew up there.
But, when I was in junior college,
I said to myself, ‘If I get a chance
to go away, I’m leavin'.”
Last season, McDonald aver
aged 8.8 points and 3.4 assists per
game. He set the SWC season re
cord for steals with 44 and school
records for steals in a season, with
83, and in a game, with nine. He
was named to the All-Tourna
ment team in the SWC Classic af
ter averaging 19.3 points per
game and, with Winston Crite,
led the Aggies to the
championship.
Along the way, McDonald
earned the reputation of being
the conference’s most exciting
player.
“He’s the flashiest player we’ve
had since I’ve been here,” A&M
Head Coach Shelby Metcalf said
“He sees the floor better than any
player who’s been in the South
west Conference since 1958. He's
really something special.
“When he first came down
here, he wasn’t under control
You don’t want him totally under
control because you don’t want to
kill that and take his individual fi-
