Wednesday, February 13,1991 The Battalion Page 9 Wilde! from page 7 Davis offered his opinion. The coach said Scott lied about the allegations so as to force proba tion on A&M’s program, thus di vorcing the player from his obliga tion here ana allow him to move on. Sounds clever. Now an investigation hangs over the school and its basketball pro gram like a heavy storm cloud. all, Davis has been walking around with the world on his shoul ders. The world being his future as a college coach. Scott has since come out with nu- j merous other stories since his first. He said the student body at A&M supports racism. An interesting judgment, but not grounds for cre ating even more trouble. Scott continued to express his | disheartedness with the school in the following weeks. Then came the recanting of his previous statements, just adding in sult to injury. Scott returned to A&M a week late for the beginning of the spring semester. Was he delayed by a vacation that ran long? Maybe he was overseas on business. Or maybe he hit nothing ^ but red lights on his way here. Probably none of the above. If I were Tony Scott I wouldn’t have wanted to come back either. Scott knew darn well he wouldn’t ; be welcomed back with open arms. He knows how many popularity con tests he is capable of winning now at A&M. But Scott has had the courage to come back, which is admirable to say the most. The fact of the matter is Scott made the wrong decision a long time ago when he decided to come to Ag- gieland. And as the saying goes, you never stop paying for your mistakes. Those mistakes and wrong deci sions have followed one after an other for the tall, wiry player who alone might have had the potential to put the A&M basketball program on the map. Funny how quickly things change. Scott was at the Aggies’ last home game against Texas. He was sitting behind the A&M bench like he had many times before all the trouble started. Your heart would go out to that guy, who was sitting there al most motionless, wondering what people around him were saying. 5 Scott is reportedly in the process of withdrawing from school. Maybe it’s best for him, and for the Univer- iity. Even more funny is the fact that low I’m sitting here motionless, ihinking of what could have been. Lady Ags from page 7 She is the replacement for for ward Dena Russo, who abruptly ended her collegiate career after a long battle with her knees. Janak, who ended with 10 points and four rebounds, gathered two key rebounds down the stretch that enabled the Lady Ags to hold on for victory. “It inspired me to fill her (Russo’s) shoes,” Janak said. “To ask someone to do that would be a chore. How ever, it just inspires me more to do better.” Coach Hickey was impressed with the Lady Ags performance despite the SMU comeback, and she cred ited almost everyone with playing an equal part in the victory. She added that a defensive lapse may have been the cause of the Lady Ags’ slight demise in the second half. “We may have extended our de fense a little too early,” Hickey said. “We tried to start in that full-court man press and we may have been better off just starting with a half court man press.” Detmer expects to come back at full strength FORT WORTH (AP) — Ty Detmer, the Brigham Young University quarterback who sepa rated both shoulders dur ing a 55-13 Holiday Bowl loss to Texas A&M, said Monday he will be in top condition for the start of the 1991 season. Detmer said he will miss spring training, but will be at full speed for the Cougars’ season opener Aug. 29 in the Pigskin Classic against Florida State. The Heisman Trophy winner was in Fort Worth to receive the Davey O’Brien Award as the na tion’s top collegiate quarterback. “I should be ready just after the spring. I’m going to throw all summer, and I’ll be ready when the season starts. Our last two losses to Hawaii and A&M left a bad taste in my mouth,” he said. BYU coach Lavell Edwards, who was on hand for the Davey O’Brien ceremony, said he doesn’t think Detmer’s missing spring practice will hurt the Cou gars next year. “We just made up our mind not to use him this spring, and we’ll work in our younger play ers,” Edwards said. “It was un usual that Ty separated both shoulders in the same game, but we believe he will bounce back and be OK.” Detmer, winner of the Heis man Trophy last season, has bro ken 42 NCAA passing records and tied 5.
