A&M is at the top of the SWC
standings, with Texas a game
back at 3-1.
If Texas loses on Saturday to
SMU or the week after at Baylor,
then all A&M would need to suc
cessfully defend its conference ti
tle is to beat Houston and Texas
Christian at home on Nov. 21.
An added pressure is the shot
that the Aggies have of playing
for a National Championship.
With three games and a bowl left
on the schedule and an empty
loss column, it's something that
Slocum knows is a lurking pres
ence.
"We're close enough to the
end that you can see it a little,"
Slocum said. "You should have
some enthusiasm to be in this sit
uation, but at the same time, you
don't want to lose what you
have."
Both teams will be playing on
only four days rest, but the Ag
gies might find it good practice
for their next Thursday night
match — the season finale at
Austin against Texas.

player in the first nine games this
season.
"People look at statistics and
think I was better then because I
had more interceptions," Bates
said. "But at this point last sea
son, I didn't have half as many
tackles as I have this season. Now
I'm more aware of what is going
on around me.
"Last year, we lost the Tulsa
game, and a lot of bad things hap
pened to me. I was up and down
the entire game. I haven't really
had a game like that this season. I
think if anything I've been a lot
more solid this year, much more
consistent than I was then."
But, Bates said, he is still there
if he needs to make the big play.
"If you challenge me, I will rise
to the occasion. If you put me in a
situation where you come at me, I
will still make the play."
The numbers, not counting the
interceptions, seem to agree with
Bates. He is tied with linebacker
Jason Atkinson for the team lead
in tackles with 75, and leads the
team in unassisted tackles with 52.
His season best came last week
end when he recorded 14 tackles
against Louisville.
With that type of junior season,
some people seem to think Bates
will do as many juniors do, leave
for the glory of the National Foot
ball League and pass up his senior
season. But anyone who asks
Bates will realize that he has too
many other responsibilities to take
care of before leaving.

"I don't know why people
would think I was leaving," Bates
said emphatically. "I've only
been here a couple of years, and
I've still got work to do on my de
gree and with this team. We've
got so much going for us next sea
son with all the players we have
coming back, I wouldn't even
think of going to the NFL now.
"Not only that, graduating to
me is more important right now. I
am planning to get my degree the
summer after my senior season,
and if God will see to it then that I
am able to get a shot at the NFL,
then I will take it."
As for the future of his team.
Bates feels the Aggies can finish
the season 12-0 and get a shot to
play for the National Champi
onship in the Cotton Bowl. A 13-0
A&M team would. Bates said,
have a legitimate title argument.
"Who is to say if we go 13-
we're not the National Champi
ons?" Bates asks. "If we beat a
top team in the Cotton Bowl, we
will have our claim. If we don't
win it, that's just how things go.
All we can do is take care of our
end
As for his future, getting a de
gree is one of the most important
things to the sports management
major. Keeping his integrity is an
other.
"What the future holds for me,
I don't know," Bates said. "I want
to be a respected individual
around Texas A&M and around
my community. I hope I always
keep my integrity and my charac
ter, and I hope people can respect
me for my character someday."
Don't worry, Patrick. Around
the Southwest Conference, they
already do.
