Seniors play
home finale
on Saturday
By MICHAEL PLUMER
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
Memories will be flooding across Kyle
Field Saturday as Texas A&M plays Texas
Christian in what will be the last home
game for nine seniors.
Starters Marcus Buckley, John Ellisor,
Doug Carter, Derrick Frazier and David
Davis will be joined by reserves Greg
Cook, Craig Jeffries, Otis Nealy and Kent
Petty as they button up their chinstraps
for the final time on Kyle Field.
Ellisor, A&M's right guard, says the
feeling of playing his final home game
has taken a while to surface.
"A few days ago, I started thinking
this will be my final game on Kyle Field
which is a strange thought," Ellisor said.
"It is kind of sad and yet in a way I'm
kind of happy. I don't know how to de
scribe it yet, so I will have to talk about it
more after the game is over."
Emotions will also be running high
Saturday because Texas A&M has a
chance to clinch the Southwest Confer
ence championship with a victory over
TCU and a Texas loss to Baylor.
Fullback Doug Carter wants to parlay
a possible Cotton Bowl berth and his final
home game into performing well on the
field.
"When I first came into Texas A&M, I
didn't want to ever think about my last
game at Kyle Field," Carter said. "Right
now, I don't feel it. But guys have told
me when I walk onto the field, it will hit
me, and I will know what they are talking
about.
"It will be very emotional, and I'm
waiting for that day to come. I have been
here for the long haul, and I want to have
the best game I have ever had at Kyle
Field."
Cornerback Derrick Frazier also said
he wanted to have his best performance
ever at Kyle Field. He also wanted to
thank the Texas A&M student body for
making his Aggie career an enjoyable
TCU's spoiler role
keeps Aggies wary
Win gives A&M share of SWC title
By CHRIS WHITLEY

Marcus Buckley prepares to knock down TCU quarterback Matt Vogler in A&M’s
44-7 win in 1991. Buckley and eight others play their last home game Saturday.
"Of course, I want to play well, but
more than anything, I want to say how
much I am going to miss all those white
towels in the stands," Frazier said.
"Sometimes, those things made all the
difference in the world. There was no
better feeling in the world to look up in
the stands and see that sea of white.
"As a team, we appreciated that. I am
going to miss that more than I realize at

Texas A&M's quest for a national
championship has reached the latter part
of November. Now, Texas Christian has
a chance to spoil it.
The Horned Frogs (2-7-1, 1-5 in South
west Conference play), who will matchup
with the Aggies (10-0, 5-0 in SWC) at 2:30
p.m. Saturday at Kyle Field, are good at
spoiling.
They played the spoiler against Texas
two weeks ago, when the Frogs beat the
Longhorns for the first time in 25 years,
23-14, in Fort Worth. In that game, the
TCU defense registered seven sacks and
caused four turnovers.
On Saturday, the Frogs will come in
looking for their first win over the Aggies
since 1972. They will also have
vengeance on their mind after losing
soundly at home to A&M last year on na
tional television, 44-7.
However, the Aggies will have plenty
of their own incentive coming into the
game. Excluding the fact that a win will
prolong their undefeated season and
hopes for the No. 1 spot at year's end, the
Aggies can win a share of the SWC title
with a victory Saturday. If that is cou
pled with a Texas defeat against Baylor in
Waco, then A&M clinches their second
straight trip to the Cotton Bowl.
Also, sports writers from around the
country have provided A&M with incen
tive. Despite beating Houston last week
on national television, 38-30, the Aggies
were passed over for the No. 3 spot in the
Associated Press college football poll.
Florida State jumped two spots ahead of
the Aggies to assume that position.
It is a dilemma that hurts A&M in the
new-fangled bowl cqalition, but it is
something that at least one football ana
lyst said should be the last thing on the
Aggies' minds.
"I think they're going to have a hard
time beating TCU, let alone leapfrogging
Florida State," ESPN football analyst Lee
Corso said in a recent visit to A&M.
The Frogs fell last week to Texas Tech,
31-28, in a bizarre ending which featured
four touchdowns in the last two and a
half minutes of the game. First-year head

coach Pat Sullivan said playing the
Raiders after they lost, 34-3, to Rice the
week before was bad timing for TCU.
"We caught Texas Tech — and Spike
(Dykes, Tech head coach) will be the first
one to tell you — we caught them after a
down time, but they did what they need
ed to do to win," Sullivan said. "We've
gotten better every week. That's the
mark of a good team."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum is wary
of the threat that TCU poses. He disbe
lieves that there is any chance that his
team would look past Saturday's game
toward next Thursday's clash in Austin
with archrival Texas.
