LEE DAVIS Sports Writer of THE BATTALION The Texas A&M soccer team will be traveling to Austin this weekend to take on other univer sity teams from across the nation in an attempt to bring a national title home. The National Collegiate Club Soccer Association national tour nament will be held this weekend with 16 teams participating. The teams will be split into four groups of four, where they will play a round-robin tourna ment to decide which two teams from each division will advance to the quarterfinals. The Aggies (8-1-2, 3-0 in post season) will play North Dakota State University at 9:30 a.m Fri day, with a match against the University of Nebraska-Omaha at Sullivan Continued From Page 7 Despite a spate of injuries, in cluding a recent hip pointer. Clay will play against A&M Saturday. But as for his protection, that is another story. The Frogs have 5:30 that day. The round-robin portion of the tournament will conclude on Sat urday morning, with A&M slated to play the University of Arizona at 10:30. The quarterfinals will start at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with the semi finals and championship game to follow on Sunday at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. respectively. The Aggies earned the right to go to the championship tourna ment by winning their confer ence tournament two weekends ago. At the Texas Collegiate Soccer League Tournament, A&M de feated Southwest Texas State 4-0, beat the University of Texas in a penalty kick shootout after the teams were deadlocked at one, and then got past Baylor in anoth er shootout 7-6 to take the tourna ment. only seven healthy offensive line men, and TCU's lone tight end, freshman walk-on Greg Harriss, will miss the game entirely. That leaves Sullivan in a quandary as he prepares for a well-rested A&M squad, the toughest oppo nent on TCU's schedule. "We're not very healthy at all," Sullivan said with a resigned chuckle. "We can't afford to get anybody else hurt." third recruit of fall period FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Texas A&M has signed Chris Pulliams, a 6-7 forward from Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy, to a national letter-of-intent, A&M basketball coach Tony Barone said Wednesday. Pulliams is the third and final signee for the Aggies in the early signing period, joining Victoria guard Jimmy Smith and Fort Worth Dunbar guard Anthony Burks. Barone said he expects to sign two more players in the spring. Pulliams attended high school at San Antonio MacArthur, where he averaged 16.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per gameasa senior and 16.2 points as a junior Pulliams was a two-time all-city and all-district selection at MacArthur. He was named to the Class 5A all-state team last season and was honorable men tion All-American by Blue Rib bon. "Chris is a tremendous shooter and an outstanding swing prospect," Barone said. "We think he can play at least two po sitions for us." feeling was mutual. The point being, Corso is not taking shots at the Aggies be cause of a personal dislike of Texas A&M. This man loved the Aggies last season, but this year ; said they shouldn't be ranked third. There's a big difference in saying a team is no good and saying they should be ranked fourth, not third. His statement concerning this season's A&M team is merely an opinion, a be lief about who is the third- ranked team based on his honest analysis, not on a personal vendetta. So give Corso a break. He's only saying what he believes. Maybe he did graduate from Florida State, but if the Aggies pound TCU like they did last season and take Texas down hard right in Corso's ESPN back- j yard, he'll have to give them credit. As will everyone else. ■" 1 1 Texas Aggie Bonfire November 24,1992 Foster Continued From Page 7 back to Nov. 7,1991. That night, Texas A&M traveled to Fort Worth on one of the coldest nights in the history of the state of Texas. The weather, com bined with A&M's athletic domi nance of TCU, made for some bone-crunching plays and a game that will take a long time to be forgotten in Horned Frog country. By the time the night was over, the number of TCU players who had been carried off the field was greater than the num ber of points they scored in the Aggies' 44-7 destruction and de moralization of the Frogs. Among those who were carried off the field was TCU receiver Kyle McPherson, who had his head handed to him on a platter by A&M death-squad linebacker Quentin Coryatt. After that game was over, ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso (name sound famil iar?) praised the A&M squad and said himself that this was probably the hardest-hitting football team in the nation. He also said later during the season that when the Aggies met Flori da State in the Cotton Bowl, it should be one of the toughest de fensive struggles of the season because of the speed of the two units. And it was. This, the same man who said A&M wouldn't be No. 3 this week, was praising the Aggies last season at this time. Just check this year's Texas A&M me dia guide, and you will see a photo of Kyle Field at last sea son's Texas game with a sign in the crowd that says "We love Lee Corso!" Apparently, the
