On the road again ...
Lady Aggies facing
tough Beaumont trip
By SCOTT WUDEL
Of The Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M volleyball
team will continue its long list of
road games tonight in Beaumont.
Lamar University are the
fourth of eight opponents the
Lady Aggies will face in almost
two weeks of consecutive road
games.
A&M will play the Lady Cardi
nals at 7:00 p.m. on the Lamar
campus.
The 2-6 Lady Aggies are
looking for their first road victory
of the season after coming off
losses to Nebraska, Wyoming and
Purdue in last weekend’s Ne
braska Classic.
A&M coach A1 Givens said the
road has been tough for the team,
but the players did not get disap
pointed after playing the level of
competition they have.
“Life, volleyball, whatever ...
everything is a learning process,”
Givens said. “The trials and trib
ulations help prepare you for the
other obstacles that you are going
to encounter.
“We went up to Nebraska and
got the chance to play some real
(juality teams and we really be
lieve that’s going to help prepare
us for the conference.”
Givens says if the Lady Aggies
can go 2-2 on their upcoming
road trip that the team will be
back on the track where they
need to be.
A&M travels to Baton Rouge,
La., this weekend to compete
against Penn State, Cal Poly-San
Luis Obispo, and Louisiana State
in the Tiger Classic.
Givens says the team had two
good days of practice here in pre
paration for the Lamar match
and feels good about some of the
things that are taking place.
The 9-5 Lady Cardinals have
won eight of their last nine con
tests after losing three of their
first four of the season.
Lamar returns a team that
went 24-16 last year— picking up
one of its losses against the Lady
Aggies in College Station.
Givens said that beating a team
that’s playing well like Lamar will
give the Lady Aggies momentum
heading into the tournament in
Louisiana.
Givens said he would like to see
the team increase the chemistry
and consistency that it found in
the match Tuesday against
Southwest Texas State. A&M de
feated the Lady Bobcats in four
games, 15-3, 17-19, 15-10, 15-5.
“We’re trying to get a group
that’s going to jell and mend toge
ther,” Givens said after the vic
tory. “I wanted to stay with a
group without making a lot of
wholesale changes.”
The starting lineup will stay in
tact for tonight’s game.

Continued from page 9
the three or four times we yelled,
“Rah, rah, rah, team!”
6. The heat: Intolerable and un
controllable. It was like standing in
the Dixie Chicken on a packed night
in the heat of the summer. Needless
to say, I did not enjoy the bowls of
perspiration gushing profusely from
my forehead. It was one of the few
times I would have appreciated the
luxury of a Kyle Dome.
5. The couple lip-locking in front
of me: I believe in the best of tradi-
tions but hey! ... when the other
team is faced with third and long on
the next series, it’s pijpbably time to
take a breather. Glad they didn’t
choke on each other’s Big Red chew
ing gum.
4. The over-excited fan with the
southern drawl: “Let’s score 91 ...
for the class of ‘91 ... whoooop!,” he
barked out in the third quarter of
the game. The same logic that would
say, “Let’s drop an atomic bomb on
Iraq tomorrow and end the whole
problem!”
3. The future: Knowing next
week’s game against North Texas
could be a bigger drubbing than this
one.
2. Infinite wisdom: T he bleacher
quarterbacks standing behind you
whose knowledge of the game far
exceeds that of the coaches or any
one else in the immediate environ
ment. “Ahh ... yeah ... I could have
told you that would be a good time
to call that play-action fake to the
fullback and have the quarterback
hide the ball behind his back until he
has fooled the safety, and the re
ceiver is running all by himself on a
fly route toward the end zone.”
And finally ... the No. 1 complaint
about The A&M-Southwestern
Louisiana game ...
1. Shyness/Stupidity: Call it what
you want. Taking an attractive but
innocent freshman to the game and
being too shy to explain to her what
* the tradition of, “When one Aggie
scores, all Aggies score” means. It'is
possible for a 21-year-old to be bash
ful.
So there it is, snide but unfortu
nately true. Maybe these things
didn’t happen to you, but over the
course of the season they inevitably
will make their unwelcome appear
ance. Football games are a lot of fun
and should be looked forward to.
Maybe I just had a bad day ... yeah, I
think I did. Hope next Saturday is a
good one for you.
