Chatter of Aggie fans
was better than game
Fan enthusiasm is a wonderful thing at
sporting events.
It picks up the players to hear the
cheering masses and it also ups the
tempo of the game for those in the
stands. I mean, no one wants to go to a
football game that is all quiet where the
fans are too inhibited to scream approval
or disapproval during pivotal plays.
I found out this past weekend at the
A&M-Baylor game that it can be quite
interesting to sit back and listen to the
comments of fellow spectators. It is
sometimes more fascinating than the
game itself.
Oh, please don’t think I was
eavesdropping on private conversations.
I was merely soaking up the environment
around me.
These conversations that I was a party
to were being shouted seemingly for the
benefit of everyone at Kyle Field — not
just for two or three people.
I couldn’t help listening to the crowd’s
sporting shouts — my mind had begun to
wander from the action on the field to the
more attention-grabbing talk around me.
The comments ranged from the usual
referee bashing to heated discussions
about A&M’s key players.
From what I could hear, section 237,
rows 20 to 26 were ardent Darren Lewis
fans. But this isn’t too revealing since
any Aggie fan should already hold the
dynamo in the highest regard.
I heard everything from, “Lewis sure 1
is short to be so awesome”, to “no he
isn’t — he’s a rushing machine where
size doesn’t matter”. Everyone seemed
to be an expert on Lewis and his
abilities.
And the discussion moves on.
Aggie fans seem relentless on
Saturday afternoons in their ability to
tear down or build up a player.
Everyone knows Scott Slater is having
difficulty putting the ball between the
uprights — right?
Well, I listened to a panel discussion
about it from the neighboring rows.“It
must be mental!”, some people
exclaimed.
“You know how kickers are always
getting those mental blocks,” Joe Ag
said. “Once that happens, you never
know if they will ever kick well again.”
Thanks coach. Slater will be thrilled to
hear that diagnosis.
But John Ag disagreed.

“It’s probably because he has a new
holder this year — that’s got to be the
problem. Slater’s always been great
before.”
Whoa, whoa there, that new holder
happens to be Bucky Richardson.
And the Bucky Richardson fan club
standing behind me vehemently
disagreed with any criticism of their
exalted player.
For the eight guys behind me,
Richardson as quarterback, ball holder,
punter, running back, any position can
do no wrong.
Richardson seemed to be the sole
reason for their presence at the ball
game.
The fan club attributed the quarterback
with almost heavenly qualities, and the
guys were so involved with Richardson’s
moves that I feared for my safety every
time number seven made a good
showing.
Their man is a star and don’t anyone
forget it!
I’m sorry to say the fan club began to
drown out my listening pleasure. I just
couldn’t hear anything but, “Bucky this,
or Bucky that”.
I would have liked to discover if
anyone had jumped on the Chris Osgood
or Robert Wilson bandwagons. Hey,
how come no one ever yelled for Jerry
Fontenot?

I was getting so wrapped up in what
people were saying that I missed most of
the game. I wanted to throw in a few
opinions of my own but succeeded in just
being an avid listener.
I think it was time well spent — the
game didn’t really rev up until the fourth
quarter anyway.

WASHINGTON (AP) — John
Thompson said Monday that has been
hurt by some of the criticism he has
taken since his U.S. Olympic basketball
team lost to Russia, but claimed he
would not change a thing if he had to do
it over again.
“The things that were done were
things that we thought were in the best
interest of what we were trying to ac
complish,” Thompson said. “I think if I
had to do it over again, every player I se
lected I would select again, every staff
member, everything that we decided to
do. You make decisions, and then you
have to go with those decisions.
“I would do everything the same way,
absolutely.”
After the United States was beaten 82-
76 by the Soviet Union in the semifinal
round, many columnists criticized
Thompson’s continuous substitutions,
his ploy of making the squad similar to
the scrappy, defensive-minded teams he
fields at the University of Georgetown,
and the fact that the club lacked enough
adequate outside shooters.
Thompson said his critics have been
outnumbered by well-wishers who ap
preciated his time-consuming effort.
“There have been things that have
been said, very minimal, that have hurt
me personally. But there have been far,
far more things that have been said that
have been extremely positive,” Thomp
son said. “The kindness has been far, far
more overwhelming than any criticism I
have heard.
“Certainly, I would have liked to have
beaten the Russians,” he said. “But I
feel the young people did what I asked
them to as best they possibly could.
There are a lot of factors. ... Maybe I’ll
talk about it one day.”
Thompson, in his first press confer
ence in the United States since the Olym
pics, said he formed the team to satisfy
his own objectives and not of those
around him.
“It all depends on who you seek ap
proval from,” he said. “I don’t seek ap
proval from many men. ’ ’
Despite the loss and the criticism,
Thompson said he is not embarrassed.
“This is what I do. It’s not something
that has scared me into a cave or made
me feel ashamed,” he said. “I could
have taken the safe way out and declined
to do it, but I took the challenge and now
I’m dealing with it.”
UCLA hits No. 1,
Notre Dame No. 2
Associated Press
The UCLA Bruins are the No. 1 team
in college football for the first time in 21
years, followed by Notre Dame, South
ern California and defending national
champion Miami.
Notre Dame’s 31-30 victory over Mi
ami knocked the Hurricanes from the top
spot after a six-week stay. The Fighting
Irish, meanwhile, moved up from fourth
place last week to their highest ranking
since they were No. 1 on Sept. 14, 1981.
UCLA, 6-0 after a 38-21 victory over
California, received 33 of 60 first-place
votes and 1,169 of a possible 1,200
points from a nationwide panel of sports
writers and sportscasters. The Bruins
had been ranked No. 2 for five weeks.
The last time UCLA was No. 1 was on
Nov. 13, 1967, when the Bruins had a 7-
0-1 record. But UCLA lost its next two
games and finished 7-2-1.
“1 actually feel it’s too early to deter
mine who the best team in the country
is,” UCLA coach Terry Donahue said
Monday. “We’re just over 50 percent
done with our schedule, and how do you
judge anything on 50 percent?
“It just doesn’t make sense, but it’ll
all come out in the end. It’s not time for
Christmas yet.”
Notre Dame, also 6-0, received 22
first-place votes and 1,142 points. The
remaining five first-place ballots went to
Southern Cal, 6-0, which defeated
Washington 28-27 and received 1,091
points in holding onto third place.
The rankings are bound to change later
in the season, since UCLA meets Suulu-
em Cal on Nov. 19 and USC plays Notre
Dame the following week.
Miami, 4-1, received 1,001 points in
dropping from first to fourth.
Nebraska jumped from seventh to fifth
with 879 points following a 63-42 tri
umph over lOth-ranked Oklahoma State.
West Virginia remained sixth with 974
points after an open date and Florida
State slipped from fifth to seventh with
872 points despite a 45-21 victory over
East Carolina.
Oklahoma’s 70-24 rout of Kansas
State pushed the Sooners from ninth to
eighth with 777 points while South Caro
lina fell from eighth to 18th by losing to
Georgia Tech 34-0.
Clemson, No. 11 a week ago, moved
up to ninth with 700 points by defeating
previously unbeaten Duke 49-17. Au
burn rounded out the Top Ten, climbing
from 12th to 10th with 656 points after a
42-0 trouncing of Akron.
The Second Ten consists of Georgia,
Wyoming, Arkansas, Indiana, Okla
homa State, LSU, Washington, South
Carolina, Syracuse and Michigan.
Last week, it was Clemson, Auburn,
Georgia, Wyoming, Michigan, Wash
ington, Arkansas, Indiana, LSU and
Florida.
Florida dropped out by losing its sec
ond straight game, 24-9 to Vanderbilt.
Syracuse, which finished No. 4 last year,
moved into the rankings for the first time
this season. The Orangemen are 5-1 after
defeating Penn State 24-10.
