A&M sports is by no means
perfect. 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.

on-one interviews with the

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.
