A&M soccer headed to nationals Barone lands
By K. 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

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."

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.

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
