Maroon isn't
in season in
Dallas . . . yet
W hen the nights start getting
colder, when the leaves on
the trees abandon their
green color, and when the calendars
have reached October, the city of Dal
las plays host to a unique event.
Just east of the Dallas skyline, ad
jacent to where Big Tex greets the
public, and right next to the colossal
Texas Star ferris wheel, lies the site of
what is, year in and year out, one of
the best football games and one of the
biggest parties ever held.
It's UT-OU weekend.
More than 75,000 fans flock to the
Cotton Bowl in Fair Park every year
to see the interstate matchup between
the Longhorns and the Sooners.
However, it's not the best place
for an Aggie. In fact, it's one of the
least likely places on the planet that
you're likely to find anything even
resembling maroon. When the leaves
turn red and orange, so do alle
giances.
Nevertheless, a group of brave
Aggies, myself included, went on a
fact-finding mission to see exactly
what the big deal was all about.
Unfortunately for us, and for ev
eryone else who despises that school
"down the road," the wrong team
won.
From what I gathered, someone
fumbled a ball and someone else in
burnt orange picked it up for the
winning touchdown. Texas pulled
the upset, 10-7.
It was not difficult to tell the re
sult of the game after the crowd start-
' ed emptying the stadium. The

The Battalion
Today is like Christmas Day for first-
year Texas A&M basketball coach Tony
Barone.
The Aggies begin fall practice this af
ternoon, and Barone has been waiting for
months to see what lays under the tree
when it comes to his 1991 basketball team.
A&M begins its season against Prairie
View A&M on Nov. 25, but today will be
Barone's first chance to get a peak at the
14 players that make up the A&M roster.
The coach said the next month will be
an unusual time for him and his team of
new faces. A&M returns four players
from last year's troubled 8-21 team, and
only ore with any significant playing ex
perience. It will be a change for Barone,
who said he's been acclimated to a team
of veterans the last few years at
Creighton.
"The last three or four years at
Creighton we had a veteran-oriented
team," Barone said. "So I looked for im
provement, for any dramatic changes in
ability, but I pretty much knew what we
were going to do.
"I knew the kind of kids we had. I
knew that they were growing, getting bet
ter, and getting stronger. There was an
equation there that meant we were going
to have a better basketball team each year
we were together.
"Now, here, its like Christmas," he
said. "You're going to the Christmas tree
and you see all these presents, and you
open them up and sometimes you find
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and
sometimes you find steaks."
Barone was hired April 9 to take over
a troubled A&M basketball program un

Texas A&M continued to sneak up the
Associated Press Top 25 Poll this week
despite being idle last Saturday. The Ag
gies moved from No. 21 to No. 19 in the
poll and will face 16th-ranked Baylor this
Saturday in Waco.
The Aggies and the Bears remain the
only Southwest Conference teams in the
poll for the third straight week.
A&M holds a 3-1 overall record, 1-0
in the SWC. The Bears, 5-1, slipped eight
spots in the AP poll and are 2-1 in the
conference after a 20-17 loss to Rice last
Saturday.

has been stressing to the each player since

the-court as well as on-the-court.
Barone said fans typically view what
happens on the court as the entire basket
ball program. But he said there is nothing
farther from the truth.
