Kubiak (Continued from page 9) what they’re doing. I just try to be a positive influence for them and let them know that the game is fun, to go out and play hard. “They’re being taught well by Bob (Toledo) and the rest of the coaches. I just try to be there if they have any questions.” Slocum said Kubiak’s not only helping the Aggie quarterbacks, he’s helping himsell. “Gary’s always been close to the program,” he said. “Now r he drives up here every day. It’s a way that he helps himself by learning football. He s learned more about the game of football and at the same time he’s helping us.” Slocum may need someone to take the pressure off the hype surround ing the Aggies over the Pavlas-Rich- ardson quarterback controversy this spring. Toledo said Monday that the starting job belongs to Pavlas until Richardson proves he can do a bet ter job. Richardson has two years of eligi bility remaining after redshirting last season. He played as a true freshman in 1987. This year will be Pavlas’ last season at A&M. Kubiak said he’s seen little signs of rustiness in Richardson dm ing the first three days of spi ing practice. “He’s been moving around effec tively, but I don’t really know the kids,” Kubiak said. “All I see is a good athlete, a good kid who works hard and loves to play the game. That’s what’s important.” Working hard and loving the game have been the rules of life for Kubiak, who rewrote the state re cord books at St. Pius High School in Houston and now finds himself backing up Elway in Denver. It’s taken him seven years, but Ku biak’s come full circle. He’s spending his days in the place where he had some of his greatest accomplish ments, trying to guide two young quarterbacks who stood in his same shoes all those years ago. “Kyle Field is different,” Kubiak said. “It’s a lot bigger than when I was here, but it still gets your motors going. “It keeps you thinking young and it keeps you feeling that way. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie.” Ranger fans hold no grudge after lockout ARLINGTON (AP) — With the baseball lockout over, Texas Rang ers fans eagerly bought tickets and the team headed to a shortened spring training camp in Florida. The 32-day player strike which ended Sunday seemed only to whet the appetite of fans who deluged the Rangers ticket office Monday and Tuesday. The Rangers’ home opener will probably be April 17 against Mil waukee, said Arlington Stadium di rector Jay Miller. “If you look at what the fans are buying, that seems to be the consen sus,” he said. Rangers manager Bobby Valen tine says he’s not surprised. “Nobody cares what the details are,” Valentine said of fans’ interest in the agreement worked out be tween players and owners. “I don’t even care. They just want to see us play baseball. Me, too.” Miller said the Rangers already have sold 7,600 season tickets, 400 more than last year, and more sales are expected. “I think the fans, like pretty much all of us, wanted the thing to get re solved,” Miller said. Rangers president Mike Stone said the ordeal had been worth it be cause now there is no threat of a mid-season strike. Lehmann (Continued from page 9) and now the owners — benefitting from huge TV contracts — have the money to give the players what they’re asking. Next time the Players’ Union contract comes up for renewal, you can expect the same kind of bloody fight. Television is responsible for bringing baseball into homes of millions of fans who can’t make it to the park, and thus made players into much bigger celebrities than they would be without it. Power corrupts. Fans say they’re fed up, and have been venting their frustrations throughout the lockout, screaming in the papers and on the radio that they’ll boycott the season. In Monday’s Houston Post, there was a phone-in poll that indicated 86 percent of the 1,600 callers would support a boycott. Yeah, right. Most fans in Houston don’t go to the ’Dome anyway. And this is an easy time to talk about boycotting baseball because fans have the NCAA basketball tournament and impending NBA playoffs to replace it. In the middle of June, a week without baseball would indeed be a sacrifice for sports fanatics. Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing an organized fans’ walkout. Anything that would bring a little humility to the players would be worth it. But I know that I need the game, and I know that if I were a baseball player I’d have been asking for more money, too. So, I can’t blame the players and I don’t think a boycott will work. Trying to hurt the owners by decreased attendance is a weak effort, because the bulk of revenue comes from TV anyway. So just accept that baseball is back, and enjoy it. Grab a hot dog, the remote and catch some hoops action while you wait for opening day. You’ll be watching April 9, just like me. Hfcu/.
