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.

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.

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

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.
