Stop cry in’ about football and go watch basketball ! Enough about the Aggies and their hopes of beating the Longhorns. Enough with all the spiel about why A&M didn’t win, and whose television monitors were on in the UT coaches’ boxes. And how much we hate CBS for the hideous crime that it committed against 41,000-plus Aggies and their families and friends. And enough about how a truly great running back like Darren Lewis didn’t get the respect he deserved for being the nation’s leading rusher and carrying the weight of an 8-3-1 team. Enough. It is time to move on. We’ve all heard too many times before that we can’t change what has happened in the past. So we must live with the decisions made, and look at what lies ahead. With a change of climate and uniform we take ourselves to G. Rollie White Col iseum, and give some much needed sup port to the A&M basketball program. Kermit Davis is just starting to get the ball bouncing on what most Aggies hope will be the program of the future in the Southwest Conference. But the key word here is support. And having enough of it to fill a 14,500 seat arena the school is investing in. Only a few years ago Shelby Metcalfs teams could all but fill up the coliseum on a good night. Just a week ago the nationally-ranked Oklahoma Sooners and their outspoken coach Billy Tubbs showed up for a game against the Aggies. The bigwigs in the A&M athletic de partment, the Aggie coaching staff and players, and the local media, felt pretty good about the attention such a high-cal iber team playing the Aggies would bring to the school’s basketball program. Most of them thought this would be jj one of the few nights this_ season that G. ; Rollie White would be filled to the top with its loyal student body and fans from the community. And, since 1954, 7,500 seats were available. See Wudel/Page 10 Lewis, Detmer top AP list From Staff and Wire Reports Texas A&M’s Darren Lewis, the South west Conference’s all-time leading rusher, was named to the Associated Press’ first- team All-American team. Lewis, who last week against Texas became the fifth player in NCAA Division I history to rush for 5,000 yards and rushed for 1,691 yards this year to lead the NCAA, was joined by Texas defensive back Stanley Richard on the first team. This is Lewis’ second time to be named to the AP All-American team. In 1988, his sophomore year, Lewis was named, along with Oklahoma State’s Barry Sanders, after rushing for 1,692 yards. Six other SWC players were named to the second and third-teams including one of Lewis’ main blockers in the last four years, center Mike Arthur was named to the second-team. Elsewhere, juniors are giants on the 1990 Associated Press All-America college foot ball team. Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer of Brigham Young, runner-up Raghib “Rocket” Ismail of Notre Dame and three other underclassmen were named to the team on Wednesday. Detmer set or tied 34 NCAA records this year, including most passing yards in a sea son (5,188) and touchdown passes in a ca reer (86). He already is second on the ca reer passing yardage list with 11,000, just 425 behind San Diego State’s Todd Santos. While Detmer drew raves for his passing, Ismail amazed fans and foes with his speed and versatility. The Rocket gained 157 all purpose yards per game and scored six touchdowns as a runner, receiver and kick returner. Other juniors on the team are Virginia wide receiver Herman Moore, Auburn of fensive guard Ed King and Georgia Tech defensive back Ken Swilling. Everyone else is a senior. Only four players are repeaters from last year’s first unit — Ismail, Colorado offen sive guard Joe Garten, Notre Dame de fensive linemen Chris Zorich and Michigan defensive back Tripp Welborne. Notre Dame linebacker Michael Stonebreaker, who made the first team in 1988, is back af ter missing last season because of discipli nary problems. Rounding out the offense is running back Eric Bieniemy of Colorado, wide re ceiver Lawrence Dawsey of Florida State, tight end Chris Smith of BYU, center John Flannery of Syracuse, offensive tackles An- tone Davis of Tennessee and Stacy Long of Clemson, and placekicker Philip Doyle of Alabama. Huy Thanh Nguyen/The Battalion Darren Lewis, shown here rambling for yardage against Baylor, was chosen for the Associated Press All-American first team. The defense includes Colorado line backer Alfred Williams, winner of the But- kus Award as the nation’s top linebacker, and Miami’s Russell Maryland, a finalist for the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award as the best lineman in the country. Joining Maryland on the defensive line are Florida’s Huey Richardson and Nebras ka’s Kenny Walker, the first deaf player to make the AP team. The defense also fea tures Miami linebacker Maurice Crum and backs Darryl Lewis of Arizona. Cris Shale of Bowling Green is the punter. Top-ranked Colorado and No. 5 Notre Dame each have three players on the team. Fourth-ranked Miami and No. 13 BYU are next with two players apiece. Bieniemy and Lewis finished 2-3 in the nation in rushing average. Bieniemy gained See List/Page 10 Outland goes to Maryland LOS ANGELES (AP) — Miami’s Rus sell Maryland, who delayed a chance to become an instant millionaire in the NFL to stay for his senior season, won the Outland Trophy on Wednesday as the nation’s top interior lineman. The Hurricanes’ defensive tackle topped a pair of offensive linemen, guard Joe Garten of Colorado and tackle Stacy Long of Clemson, in the final bal loting by members of the Football Writ ers Association of America. The group does not reveal the voting totals. The 6-foot-2, 275-pound Maryland had 96 tackles and lOVz quarterback sacks for Miami (9-2) this year. He will close out his career with the fourth- ranked Hurricanes in the Cotton Bowl against No. 3 Texas on New Year’s Day. Maryland has 270 tackles and 20 1 /2 sacks during his four years at Miami. Although pro scouts projected Maryland as a first-round choice if he decided to enter the draft last spring, he chose to remain at Miami, saying he wanted to help the Hurricanes win the national title and try to win the Outland Trophy for himself. “It’s all worth it,” Maryland said of the decision to play his final season at Mi ami. “I have no regrets that I stayed. “This is what college football is all about,” he added, cradling the heavy trophy. Maryland, a fifth-year senior who has received his degree and now is taking graduate courses in psychology, proba bly will benefit financially from remain ing in school. He’s been projected by a number of NFL scouts and general man agers as a top-five pick next spring. Win ning the Outland certainly provides him another bargaining chip. When he was given the trophy, Maryland, slightly choked with emotion, thanked his parents, coaches and a long list of others and said, “My freshman year, I never would have imagined I could come this far.” A pudgy 317-pounder when he came out of Young High School in Chicago, Maryland initially made just one recruit ing visit and got just one scholarship of fer. But Miami stepped in late after a cou ple of recruits couldn’t meet admission standards and offered a scholarship. “When I first got to Miami, I just wanted to make an impact on the pro gram. They (the Miami coaches) wanted me to lose weight and build up muscle,” Maryland recalled, smiling. it just aboutf d has its wen. ses, Rubaijh ative fans v nd list on I er, but song t’s material ( : goes for II ektra put a r 40th birthi Its are obvioa of his own ite of his act , and gets hii he Indians in ers. t attempts to it some past •niatic.
