Okies dominate big collegiate sport
Texans love to brag and some
people say we wear ten-gallon hats
because they’re the only ones that
will fit our unusually large heads.
And it ain’t no secret that Texans
love sports. Check that — we love to
win.
And as ev-
e r y o n e
knows, ev
erything in
Texas is
BIG. We
have big
cars, big cit-
i e s , big
buildings
and big
egos. Texas
also boasts
some of the
largest uni
versities in
the country
including Texas A&M and the Uni-
Curtis L.
Culberson
Snorts viewpoint
versity of Texas, both in the top 10.
Despite our passion for glory in
the athletic arena and our hugeness,
we are not the true giants of colle
giate athletics.
We are big, but it is our friendly
little neighbors to the north who slay
Texas and the other states in colle
giate athletic competition.
The state of Oklahoma claims
teams in the nation’s elite in all three
of the major spectator sports. Okla
homa had a team playing for the
NCAA football national
championship, a baseball team that
is ranked No. 1 in all of the nation’s
polls and a basketball team that has
made it into the Final Four of the
NCAA basketball tourney.
Few states, if any, have ever domi
nated the collegiate athletic scene to
this extent.
There is no question that Okla
homa is more than just “OK” when it
comes to sports.
By population, the Sooner state is
smack in the middle of the other
states, ranking 25th. It doesn’t have
exotic beaches, movie stars, legal
gambling or great skiing.
Agriculture is still a principal in
dustry in the state.
Oklahoma may seem a bit less so-
C histicated than many other states,
ut its Sooners are always in the heat
of the chase for the national title in
football.
Its Cowboys (Oklahoma State) are
perennial powers in baseball, and
most recently the Sooner hoopsters
have made it into the elite quartet of
the nation’s best college basketball
teams.
How do they do it?
Certainly, they have their share of
homegrown talent but a lot of it is
imported.
Maybe its the state’s top tourist at
tractions like the Will Rogers Memo-
* rial or the National Cowboy Hall of
Fame that attract athletes the caliber
of Brian Bosworth away from Texas
to Oklahoma.
Maybe their success is due to the
Okie simpleness.
The Sooner football team was crit
icize for its run, run, run and run
some more offense but was success
ful until its final game. Thefr
baseball team stregnth isnoit
— big boys who hit HARD
'And the Sooner basketbal
also has been criticized
unscientific run-and-gun sd
play. But the Sooners prove
were more than just hot
they put down Villanovain
gional finals of the NCAAtoir
Or the the secret of
success might lie in the stale;
“Labor conquers all things
Whatever those Oakies
it seems to be working ovettiti
year.
The Texas A&M basebai
played Oklahoma State tour
the Cowboys pulled the game
extra innings.
Oklahoma State will no
hold on to their No. 1 rant;
seem headed for a season asi.
ful as the Sooners footballc
ketball teams.
So, when people say Ok
will win the NCAA toump
can I say except, “Okie-Dokit
Disgruntled Downs
skips Dallas minicamp
IRVING (AP) — Disgruntled free
safety Mike Downs, who claims his
backup will be making more money
than he will in the 1988 season,
stayed away from the Dallas Cow
boys’ veterans minicamp Monday.
The camp is voluntary and Downs
is not subject to a fine.
Downs, who led the team in
tackles with 86 last year, has not
been able to reach an agreement
with Cowboys Vice President Joe
Bailey after several meetings.
“The Cowboys aren’t acting like
they want me, and I think I’m pretty
important to the defense,” Downs
said. “Just look at the tackles I had to
make last season.”
Downs made $250,000 last year
and said he has been offered far less
than the $325,000 backup Victor
Scott will make in 1988. Scott, a for
mer second round draft pick in
1984, is on the final season of a five-
year contract.
“I’m the defensive quarterback
and I should be paid accordingly,”
Downs said.
Downs had four interceptions in
1987, second only to five by cor-
nerback Everson Walls. Downs also
was third in passes defensed behind
Walls and rookie Ron Francis.
Coach Tom Landry said Downs’
contract status “complicates things.”
He added that rignt now at safety,
“Vince Albritton is our most aggres
sive guy and Scott is also aggressive.
We’ll just have to see what happens,
but the safety is open just like other
jobs on this team.”
Other free agents besides Downs
included quarterback Paul McDon
ald and linebacker Steve DeOssie,
who attended the camp.
The Cowboys will work through
Wednesday in a series of meetings,
timed runs and weightlifting tests at
Valley Ranch. The theme for the off
season is “Blueprint for Victory.”
One session Monday included a
presentation by biomechanist Dr.
Stan Plagenhoef on the “best ana
tomical positions for creating high
levels of impact on the football
field.”
The Tuesday and Wednesday ses
sions will be similar to the players’ in-
season schedule of classroom meet
ings and on-field practices.
Dallas will hold a second veterans
minicamp May 3-6.
