Charles Hardt has a dilemma.
He attended college at the University
of Tulsa, where he had a successful ca
reer on the Golden Hurricane football
team. His wife attended Tulsa, as well
as many of his relatives.
But Hardt has two children who are
students at Texas A&M, and they have
turned him and his wife into diehard
Aggie fans.
Saturday, Hardt's two allegiances face
off at Kyle Field. Who is he going to root
for?
"My emotions are divided," Hardt
said. 'Td like to have one team lose to
the other on a missed field goal at the
end of the game.
"A tie's just not good enough for me.
Like 'Bear' Bryant said, 'It's like kissing
your sister.'"
As a defensive back, Hardt was three-

a Street and Smith's Magazine preseason
All-American in 1966. He had brief
stints as a professional with the Min
nesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.
Now an insurance agent in Dallas,
Hardt will be in attendance Saturday
with his wife, Rhonda, along with Amy
and Jim, who are trying to sway the
dominant attitude of the family away
from Tulsa and toward A&M.
"I love the University of Tulsa,"
Hardt said. "I love the time, the memo
ries, the blood, sweat and tears that I
>ent up there. And I love A&M.
?y've had a great past, they're on top
now, and they look to be good in the fu
ture.
"I'm proud to be affiliated with both
of them. I just hope that it's a good
game."
The eldest daughter, Amy, a junior
public health major, said her father typi
cally tries to remain neutral when men
tion of the two schools comes up. Yet
last year's 35-34 upset Hurricane victory
in Tulsa provided too much excitement
for him and the rest of the alumni in his
family to hold back.
"Last year, he was thrilled," Amy
said. "So was the rest of my family.
They're bad. Last year, they sent us a
clipping of the front page of the Tulsa
paper when they won.
"If we win, we'll be mailing things to
the entire family."

fter flying
around
two
weeks in a row to
beat up smart
surfers and rude purple people, tomor
row the Texas A&M football team will
finally be playing in the friendly con
fines of Kyle Field.
Thus comes the debut of the Fightin'
Texas Aggie 12th Man. For you fresh
man and transfers who don't know yet,
that means you.
Here are 12 tips to help your first
: A&M football game be a good experi
ence.
■ First, don't forget your student
I.D. card. You'll need it to get in. If
you think Rodney Thomas is tough,
wait until you meet the person at the
entrance when you don't have your
I.D. card. Besides, your roommate will
probably try to move in on your date
while you truck across the drill field on
your way back to your dorm.
■ Second, you might want to wear
goggles. Ask anyone who has ever
been slapped in the eye by a twirling
12th Man towel what it feels like and
decide for yourself.
■ Third, don't wear cowboy or cow
girl boots. It's hard to stand the entire
game with them on. Besides, it defeats
the purpose of the 12th Man tradition.
If you're called on to play, your Roper
bottoms will not get good traction on
the turf. Bo don't know rodeo.
■ Fourth, take lots of breath mints.

should score a bunch. You don't want

The revenge factor can be a powerful
thing in college football. Rivalries are
bom from matchups between two teams
that start innocently enough but turn out
ugly for one reason or another.
At 6 p.m. tomorrow, that matter of re
venge will be put to the test in Kyle Field,
as Texas A&M looks to repay their debt to
Tulsa a year after their 35-34 loss to the
Golden Hurricane put an abrupt end to
the Aggies' hopes for an undefeated sea
son.
Although it consists of only five
games, the A&M-Tulsa series dates back
to 1922, when the Hurricane won 13-10.
The last time they matched up before
their 1991 clash came in 1985, with a 45-10
pounding of Tulsa in Kyle Field.
But history is history, as last year
proved. And for both A&M head coach
R.C. Slocum and Tulsa boss Dave Rader,
the '91 game joins the ranks of history,
leaving the revenge factor for the sixth
A&M-Tulsa meeting irrelevant.
"That's not a major issue in this game,"
Slocum said. "It's not something that 'We
can't wait to get those guys and get them
back for what they did to us.'
"Our players had a lot of respect for
Tulsa after we played them. That, cou
pled with the fact that they opened with
the win over Houston the other night,
we've not had any difficulty at all getting
our players' attention this week."
"It's ancient history," Rader said of his
previous bout with the Aggies. "It's long
gone."
That '85 contest might be indicative of
just how much different this year's game
will be. Tulsa leaves the cozy confines of
40,385-seat Skelly Stadium for an un
friendly 70,210-seat Kyle Field, where the
Aggies have lost only three games since
1984.
The home environment, even more so
than any talk of revenge, will probably
end up being the deciding factor for
A&M. And with the specter of an espe-
cially-rabid home crowd expected at the
Kyle opener looming over Tulsa's collec
tive heads, the Aggies already own the
upper hand - something that Slocum is
thankful for.
"Some places can have a lot of people
there, but it's no factor when you go to
the game," Slocum said. "Our crowd is
such that when things start going good
for us, the crowd really becomes a factor.
If things We going badly for us, the
crowd, with just the least bit of encour
agement, gets in it and keeps the team in
volved.
"Hopefully, it would take a good team
(to beat A&M in Kyle Field). That would
be the thing that you would hope, that
you wouldn't ever lose a game that you
should win."
Despite a lack of national attention,
Tulsa fits the description of a good team.
The Hurricane took a major step forward
last week in expanding on their 10-2 cam
paign of a year ago, beating Houston 28-
25 in their opener at home despite giving
up 452 yards to the Cougars' run-and-
shoot.
Quarterback Gus Frerotte, taking over
for the graduated T.J. Rubley, completed
19 of 36 attempts for 240 yards in that
game, and tailback Ron Jackson picked
