Jackie's wrath
lives on at
Mississippi St.
J ackie Sherrill was waiting for last Sat
urday to happen.
He waited through his messy dis
missal from Texas A&M. He waited
through two years of only being able to
watch football on television. He waited
when he took the head coaching job at
Mississippi State for Sept. 7 to arrive.
Then he came back with a
vengeance.
His Mississippi State crew, tradition
ally the doormat of the Southeast Con
ference having posted only one winning
season in the previous nine years,
showed up the Longhorns on all sides of
the ball to win, 13-6, and knock Texas off
The Associated Press poll.
It had been too long since Sherrill
had beaten Texas. At Texas A&M, he
won five consecutive games over the
Bevo Boys - an unprecedented achieve
ment for an Aggie head coach.
However, when the NCAA came
knocking on A&M's door and the stories
of corruption from the football program
came out, Sherrill left in disgrace.
He took a two-year hiatus from foot
ball and was, for the most part, not
heard from. But he was there lurking.
One can almost imagine him sitting
at his car dealership in Baytown with a
pad and a pencil scouting out teams on
television.
He had left football, but football had
not left him.
Enter Mississippi State. They looked
to Sherrill for the path to SEC treasures.

Cross country teams cross finish line first
By Anthony Andro
The Battalion
The Texas A&M cross country team
won the Charlie Thomas Invitational, its
first meet, Monday at the Texas A&M
golf course.
The men's team, competing against
Stephen F. Austin State University, won
18 to 42, while the women's team defeat
ed the University of Houston by a score
of 24-31.
The score is determined the the order
of the top five finishers on each team.
The higher the place of finish, the lower
the score.
Cross country coach Ed
Marcinkiewicz said he was happy with
the teams' performance.
"I'm very pleased, particularly with
the guys" said Marcinkiewicz. "We had
some guys like Drew Stooksberry and Ja
son Reed who ran phenomenally."
Juniors Scott Garvin and Ross
Stooksberry, running a four mile race,
tied for first place in the men's division
with a time of 19 minutes, 42 seconds.
Marcikiewicz said he knew he could
count on his two leaders.
"Our two veterans performed as ex
pected," he said. "They demonstrated
the type of leadership you expect from
veteran runners.
"They ran relaxed and will be major
factors in the conference race."
Freshmen Ricky Gallegos and Matt
Priest finished fourth and fifith for the
Aggies with times of 20:04 and 20:07, re
spectively.
"I was pleasantly surprised with the
guys team," Marcinkiewicz said. "We
had a number of people perform above
my expectations.''
In the two-mile women's race, junior
Melissa Weaver crossed the finish line
first with a time of 10:43. Stacey Ware
and Connie Hand finished second and
third with times of 10:43 and 11:01.
"The girl's team was almost a carbon
copy of the guy's," Marcinkiewicz said.
Marcinkiewicz said he was especial
ly happy with the top three finishers.
"They ran intelligently and within
themselves," he said. "All three are po
tential top ten finishers at the conference
meet."
Two freshmen, Beth Ladd and
Men’s cross country team members Scott
Garvin and Drew Stooksberry cross finish line
together during the Charlie Thomas
Christine McKinney, also pleased the
coach.
"Our two freshmen ran well but had

to battle the heat and humidity," he said.
The team's next meet is Monday
against Baylor in Waco.
A&M moves up
one spot in poll
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M football team moved
up one notch in the Associated Press Top
25 football poll released Monday.
The Aggies, ranked at No. 21 for the
last two weeks, jumped to No. 20. A&M
is preparing for this Saturday's show
down with Louisiana State University at
Kyle Field. The Tigers lost to Georgia
last Saturday, 31-10, and are unranked.
A&M is one of three Southwest Con
ference teams in the poll. The University
of Houston, 1-0, stayed at No. 10 follow
ing an idle weekend. The Cougars will
play second-ranked University of Miami
Thursday night in Miami.
Baylor entered this week's Top 25 at
No. 23 following a 27-7 victory over the
University of Texas-El Paso. The Bears
played at Colorado next Saturday.
The Texas Longhorns dropped out of
the list after being ranked at No. 13 last
week.
Jackie Sherrill's Mississippi St. Bull
dogs, who defeated UT last Saturday,
made a surprise jump into the poll at No.
