Well, I got news for you. We know what's coming. We know that fluke schools like Missouri have the poten tial to defeat superpowers like us on any given day. We watched the Citadel beat Arkansas. Hell, we almost saw the upset of the century when Texas had a lead on Syracuse last week! But upsets aren't our style. We're wary of you Tigers. We know you've got something up your sleeve, and we'll be ready for anything. So you bring your thou sands of fans with your yellow and black and your polecat on the sidelines and just pretend that you've got the upper hand Saturday. We'll sit back, relax and take pride in know ing that no team, least of all Missouri, is gonna come be tween us and a national title. Now, basketball? That's another story...

Both of A&M's losses have been close, losing in the fifth and decid ing game each time. "We have had a week off to pre pare and work on some things," A&M head coach A1 Givens said. "We haven't had the opportunity to work on the little things until this week because we had seven matches in 10 days." Three of the Aggies' seven matches have gone a full five games, and only the Eastern Wash ington contest on Sept. 7 ended in three straight games. All totaled, A&M has played 30 games since Sept. 1. "Thi^week off couldn't have come at a better time," Givens said. UTEP owns a 5-1 record so far this season. The Lady Miners and the Lady Aggies faced each other last season, when A&M took the match in five games. "We played UTEP last year and won it in a five-game marathon match where several team and in dividual records were broken," Givens said.

The National Association for Stock Car Racing, or NASCAR, and the Automobile Racing Club of America, or ARCA, have run with other sanctioning bodies in the past, but never with each oth er. had more superspeedway experi ence than the Winston West dri vers, I believe the Winston West drivers will adapt well to the Texas high banks," said Hershel McGriff, who finished fifth at the 1972 TWS Winston Cup event. Mi "I raced with the Winston West guys in Australia, and I really en joyed competing with them," said Bill Venturini, the 1991 ARCA 500 winner. "I am really looking for ward to going up against them in Texas. The competition should be great." The NASCAR Winston West drivers seem to be equally excited at the prospect of racing against their ARCA brethren. "Although the ARCA cars have "I have a lot of miles on super speedways and I am looking for ward to driving at TWS again," McGriff said. The competitors will race around the oval for 156 laps with a $307,500 purse up for grabs. This race is also important in the NASCAR Winston West points standings race. Currently, Bill Schmitt leads the pack with 1341 points, but Bill Sedgwick has 1338 points with three races left in the season.

The Aggies will have two men's teams and one women's team in the event, which will be attended by schools from around the state. The Aggie men's team was tabbed eighth in the preseason NCAA District VI coaches poll, which did not sit well with A&M head coach Ed Marcinkiewicz. "Our men were very disap pointed at the preseason regional rankings," Marcinkiewicz said. "They felt we should have been ranked higher, so we have some thing to prove. We now have a chance to prove where we belong in the conference and the region." Seniors Scott Garvin, Donnie Bodron and Ross Stooksberry will lead the Aggie men's team. The men will compete with Houston, Baylor, Texas, Southern Methodist, University of Texas- Arlington and UT-San Antonio.
