I don't expect it to be, and anyone who does will be disappionted. To the specific charge that we don't adequately cover football, i.e. "spring practice, weekly preparations, reviews of upcoming opponents or game- day heroics" — I say, excuse me? This spring we ran 10 stories for 15 days of practice. There would have been more if not for the little matter of hiring a new basketball coach got in the way of a couple of pieces. To kick off last fall, we ran a separate section devoted entirely to the Aggie football team. Every week we ran at the very least three stories a week and as many as eight. Game previews prefaced every game. The only games a Battalion sports writer did not cover were the Hawaii game, for lack of funds, and the Holiday Bowl, because it happened during Christmas Break when we weren't publishing. regulations, sources for stories would have to come from prospects and from their home towns. For the time frame that passes between the start of the spring semester and the actual signing date (usually less than a month), there's not enough time to cultivate those hard-to-find sources. So, we decided to leave recruiting to the big boys — the ones who get paid to do it full time. We ran two stories, one short one the day before signing date and one comprehensive story afterward. about being an active memberot the sports desk is my three one- on-one interviews with the newly-replaced Davis. He'll fini another job and get back on his feet — the man's got too much optimism not to succeed somewhere.

Shiny 1 usines v qui\ g telephc information, AC, Colin, Brad, sponsorin To complain that we don't cover the recruiting process is absurd. Number one, the bulk of the process takes place in between semesters. Number two, since no one on campus can comment on who is being recruited based on NCAA To hear somebody complain that we don't provide enough football coverage makes me laugh. Many', and 1 mean many, would say we talk too much about the gridiron and not enough about other sports. With the help of our three biggest stringers, Chris Whitley, Anthony Andro and Michelle Bergeron, I think we provided a good broad coverage of A&M sports — without too much concentration on the bigger sports. Well, this has gone a bit astray. I guess the lack of sleep over the long haul of the semester is finally catching up with me. The best thing I'll remember Debbie and yes, even you Lisa Around the Batt, everyone knows tj is the Batt god and the two of us will team up nextfal for a special section tnatwillri on gamedays (it should be a good one). Tj, otherwise known as Richard Tijerina, was a night news editor this fall, but he consistently helped out in sport with designs and brainstormiat when the big stories broke. Finally, l want to thank my girlfriend, companion and bestfriend for all their support over the last year. Theyareai the same person — Nanette or 'Naner' as she is known around the Batt. Without her I don't think I could have survived. Even when T was cranky after minimal sleep the night before, she's always been right there. Everyone have a safe sumnw and watch out for that Aggie baseball team. They've turned out to be a scrappy little team. See ya on the opinion page. passelof( tery's amj JERUSA agreed Th of ae Arabs.
