SPORTS EDITOR:
After reading Richard Tijerina’s article, I am sorry to
see that The Battalion's new sports editor is following in
the paper’s tradition of uninformed sportswriters.
The writers seem to have chips on their shoulders be
cause they were passed up for jobs on the opinion page.
Examples of this unmotivation include Tijerina’s col
umn (Dec. 5) on the unimportance of Andre Ware win
ning the Heisman Trophy. He claimed that the Hous
ton Chronicle's coverage was overkill, but wouldn’t
College Station go crazy if Darren Lewis won it? It
would probably not even get mentioned until page 12
in our great newspaper.
True sports fans were horrified when they read com
ments the last two semesters about our national pastime
when our baseball team was on its way to its greatest
season ever. One writer stated that watching baseball
made him sick, while another showed his ignorance by
saying that college baseball was “better” than major
league baseball because “errors are more fun to watch.”
Please, in the future try to get someone who is inter
ested in the sportsworld and stop insulting our intelli
gence with writers that are just starting to realize that
the Cowboys have been rebuilding this year.

Pavlas may be good, but he ain’t no Bucky!
EDITOR:
While everyone is caught up in the hoopla surround
ing Lance Pavlas, we should stop and think.
Who was it that stepped in for the ineffective Pavlas
two seasons ago to lead the Aggies to eight consecutive
victories, including a Cotton Bowl victory over Notre
Dame?
For all you freshman, sophomores and transfers who
were not here to see it happen, the man was Bucky
Richardson.
It is funny how quickly we forget these little things.
How many upperclassmen remember when Bucky led
the game-winning drive against t.u. in 1987? He capped
it off by running the ball into the endzone, putting the
Aggies up to stay, 20-13
As long as we are talking about t.u., it was Bucky who
put 28 points on the board (the Aggies’ only points of
the game) before going down with a knee injury in the
first half.
As a starter, Bucky is 15-2 — with his only two losses
coming to Top 10 teams Nebraska and Arkansas. But
who remembers things like that? On the other hand,
with Pavlas at quarterback this season, the Aggies have
lost three games, two of them to unranked teams (I’m
not trying to pin all the blame on Pavlas).
People question Bucky’s ability to throw the football.
Jackie Sherrill has been quoted as saying that Bucky has
a better touch on deep routes. With the short routes in
volved in the Aggie offense, a little practice and Bucky
could easily fit into the offense. He would also add a
running dimension to the offense.
Here is something to think about: If we ran the wish
bone next year with Bucky, Robert Wilson, Darren Le
wis and Randy Simmons, who could stop us?

Oilers
(Continued from page 8)
from them. This team, we’ve been
through every situation possible this
season.
“At some point or another in the
season somebody has written us off.”
The Oilers held off Tampa Bay
20-17 while Cincinnati and Cleve
land were losing Sunday, projecting
the Oilers into position to clinch the
title against the defending AFC
champion Bengal?.
The Oilers won’t need to seek out
motivation for the rest of the season,
guard Bruce Matthews says.
“This is an AFC Central game,
and that’s motivation enough,” he
said. “Besides, I’d be happy to clinch
the division anywhere.”
The Oilers have won five of their
last six games against the Bengals
Sunny Day
(Continued from page 8)
Conference’s best rushing defense in
the Aggies. Walker almost is a
sidenote —the tailback gained 392
yards in 10 games. But that’s where
the Panthers’ weakness is — they
have no fullback worth mentioning.
Lewis missed the Texas game
because of a knee injury, but should
be healthy for Pitt. He came up 39
yards short of another 1,000-yard
season this year, but over the last
four games Lewis has looked a lot
like the running back that rushed
for the second-highest total in the
nation in 1988. He’s rushed for 11
touchdowns, and averages 5.2 yards
a carry. Wilson will be the key. He
can bruise a defense if he gets a
chance.
Pitt 1, A&M 1.
• Offensive production (A&M’s
375.3 total yards per game vs. Pitt’s
412.6 yards per game). When the
Aggies are clicking offensively,
they’re hard to stop. But sometimes
they can look flatter than a three-
week old Coca Cola. Pitt has an
advantage in the passing game —
which means cornerback Kevin
Smith and safety Larry Horton
could have big days. But the Aggies
will rule the ground — and that’s
usually where close games are won.
Too close to call.
• Defensive production (A&M is
holding opponents to 293.6 yards a
game, Pitt is holding its opponents to
320.9 yards). A&M boasts one of the
best linebacking corps in the nation,
but its defensive front is young and
thin. A&M’s leading tackier has 102
tackles in 1989, Pitt’s has 73. But
don’t start calling that an advantage
— the Panthers’ Marc Spindler is a
defensive tackle; the Aggies’ Horton
is a free safety. Something’s wrong
but cornerback Steve Brown doesn’t
think the Oilers will be easy winners.
“I’d rather be playing Detroit, be
cause having to go to Cincinnati
makes it tougher,” he said. “The
Bengals are a good team, but it can
be done. We have to do everything
within our power to make sure we
win the game.”
Cleveland (7-6-1) is in second
place in the AFC Central Division
followed by Cincinnati (7-7) and
Pittsburgh (7-7).
“You couldn’t ask for a better sce
nario,” defensive end William Fuller
said. “It’s a big game and the Beng
als are still in the fight. We can ac
complish something that hasn’t hap
pened here before.”
The Oilers finished the 1980 sea
son with an 11-5 record but shared
the title with Cleveland.
when your safety has 15 more
tackles than anyone else on your
team.
Pitt’s top five tacklers are two
linemen and three linebackers. After
Horton, A&M’s next three leading
tacklers are all linebackers. Pitt has
the more dominant front, and that
could be trouble for A&M. The key
will be how well redshirt freshman
Kevin Tucker performs for the
Aggies, and how well Jayson Black
can fill noseguard Pat Henry’s shoes.
While we’re there, Aggie linebackers
Aaron Wallace and William Thomas
will have to have a big day blitzing
Van Pelt.
Too many questions . . .
Pitt 2, A&M 1.
• Special teams. Again, neck and
neck. Pitt’s top return man, Glenn
Deveaux, is averaging 20.2 yards a
return. A&M’s Horton is averaging
24.7, and has one return for a
touchdown. Pitt’s kicker Ed Frazier
probably has the better distance, but
A&M’s Layne Talbot has been
reliable when the Aggies need him.
The advantage has to go to the
Aggies, solely because of Horton’s
breakaway threat.
Pitt 2, A&M 2.
The John Hancock Bowl
executives did their homework in
trying to find two teams that are
evenly matched. The Aggies and
Panthers are so close, the game may
go down to intangibles.
How well will Pavlas react to
leading the Aggies in a bowl game?
How often can Van Pelt elude
A&M’s linebackers?
Who’ll come up with the big
turnovers?
How will the two teams adjust to
potentially harsh weather
conditions?
Will any Pittsburgh alumni be
officiating the game?
NC State found
guilty, placed
on probation
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) —
North Carolina State’s basketball
team was placed on two years’
probation Tuesday and barred
from the 1990 NCAA tourna
ment for violations that included
the misuse of complimentary tick
ets and sneakers.
The NCAA said it did not im
pose harsher penalties, including
a ban from television, because the
school “undertook corrective and
punitive actions prior to the hear-
ing .” - I
Interim chancellor Larry
Monteith said there were no
plans to fire anyone, including
Coach Jim Valvano.
Valvano said being barred
from the NCAA tournament was
“as serious a hurt and blow as I
have had personally in my life.”
“We accept the NCAA findings
and its punishment,” he said.
The Atlantic Coast Conference
may still bar N.C. State for the
league tournament, which gives
the winner an automatic NCAA
tournament bid.
“They have the right to take
that action,” Monteith said. “If
they take that action, we won’t re
sist.”
But Valvano said it would be
inappropriate.
“I don’t think that our partici
pation would adversely affect
anyone,” he said, noting that as
many as six ACC teams usually
qualify for the tournament on re
cords alone.
“I think our conference has
that relative strength that prior to
the tournament you know who is
in,” he said.
N.C. State earned $707,000
from last year’s tournament.
The NCAA investigation,
sparked by allegations of wrong
doing in the book “Personal
Fouls,” said that in the four years
examined “there were as many as
650 erroneous designations” of
tickets intended for players’ fami
lies and that “an excessive num
ber of shoes were issued with little
or no effort to keep track of the
shoes.”
Tickets were sold or ex
changed for merchandise worth
up to $150 each, the NCAA said.
Shoes, valued at $75 per pair,
were traded for apparel of equal
value at a local sporting goods
store, the report said.
