Aggies' season
can be flawless
in lame SWC
umor
me, if
you
will, and fol
low me on a
trip around the
Southworst
Conference as
we try to gain
some knowl
edge of what
should happen
in the next six
weeks.
Our Aggies
are unbeaten,
untied and un
respected na
tionwide because sports writers didn't
like the way we got to 6-0 and because
being the best in a bad conference
doesn't mean much.
But this is not the fault of R.C.
Slocum or his team. It v is the fault of
our conference brethren who couldn't
beat some high schools at anything re
sembling a football game.
I hate to say this, but if we are go
ing to get any respect the University of
Texas has to return to a level ap
proaching their gridiron glory days of
the '60s and '70s.
I know there are many of us whose
two favorite teams are the Aggies and
whoever plays Texas, but the SWC's
decline began at the same time as
Texas'. Until the Longhrons improve,
the conference can't.
It would be best for the Aggies to
face nothing but undefeated teams all
season because then they would be
hard to ignore.
The University of Miami is ranked
number one because they defeated
Florida State, Penn State and Iowa.
The Aggies are ranked number five

Coming Back To Form
After accident,
Wesley remains
force on offense
By J. DOUGLAS FOSTER
Sports Editor of THE BATTALION
When offensive lineman Dexter Wes
ley injured his elbow and received a con
cussion in a car accident early this year,
he was forced to miss spring workouts.
It didn't take offensive coordinator Bob
Toledo long during spring drills to figure
out how much he would miss his left
tackle.
With All-Southwest Conference line
backer Marcus Buckley blitzing around
the outside and pressuring A&M quarter
backs, Toledo knew he better get Wesley
back in the lineup soon.
"The one good thing about him miss
ing spring drills is that we got the oppor
tunity to let some younger players get
some time," Toledo said. "But it was good
to get him back in fall practice. Buckley's
pretty hard to block coming off the ball."
Wesley said he was glad to be back,
but he felt he missed some vital practice
time during the spring.
"There were some things I needed to
work on technique-wise that I didn't get
to work on during the spring," Wesley
said. "I had to use the entire fall practice
to catch up for what I had missed."
One of the things he missed was mak
ing the transition to an offense that
throws the ball more, which he said puts
more pressure on him at the tackle posi
tion.
"Even in high school we ran the ball a
lot, so I didn't work on pass blocking, but
it's worked out all right since fall prac
tice," he said.
Wesley, a junior from Rockdale, started
all 11 games of the Aggies' 1991 SWC

injuries in an automobile accident last spring that kept him out of spring drills.
A&M volleyball
welcomes Tech,
cable television
By DON NORWOOD
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
The television cameras return to G.
Rollie White Coliseum tonight. So
will bleachers on the floor, after a
lengthy renovation period.
Oh, by the way, the Texas A&M
volleyball team is back, too. And they
are looking for revenge.
The Lady Aggies will meet for the
second time this season with Texas
Tech at 7 p.m. in a match that will be
taped by Home Sports Entertainment
for broadcast Oct. 28. A&M head
coach A1 Givens is looking forward to
having a large home crowd fill the
new bleachers in front of the camera's
eye.
"We're excited that it will be on
TV," Givens said Tuesday. "We hope
that the student body and the fans
will come out and support the Lady
Aggies because they've been working
hard.
"We've been blessed with some
good crowds, and we appreciate
every one of them."
The crowd that shows up tonight
will get to see the Lady Aggies at
tempt to make up for lost opportuni
ties from the last A&M-Tech hookup
on Sept. 23 in Lubbock. Tech won
that match 13-15, 15-7, 15-10, 15-10 af
ter the Lady Ags dropped their
guards following their win in the first
game.
As middle blocker Amy Kisling
said, avoiding mistakes against Tech
will be the key to victory.
"We just need to execute a little bit
better," Kisling said. "We've been
watching a lot of films (on Tech).
"I think they've got a new setter
playing, but other than that they're
pretty much the same team."
