Page 6 The Battalion Monday, December 7,155 Lady Aggie volleyball team ends 19-17 season at NIVC FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS in four games, 11-15,15-6,15-10, ■. KANSAS CITY, MO. - Texas A&M's volleyball team ended its 1992 season this weekend at the National Invitational Volleyball Championships. The Lady Aggies narrowly lost a one-game playoff to Min nesota on Saturday that would have made them the top team in Pool B and would have ad vanced them to the semifinals. Minnesota defeated A&M in the playoff, 15-13. A&M had a 3-1 record in pool play. On Friday, the Lady Ag gies defeated Loyola of Illinois 15-7. Later that day, they squeaked by Minnesota in a gru eling five-game match, 15-6, 10- 15,15-6,14-16,15-11. On Saturday, the Aggies suf fered their first defeat in pool play with a loss to Maryland in three straight games, 15-11, 15- 12, 15-6. Then, they defeated Sacramento State in a close four- game match, 15-13, 12-15, 15-12, 15-13, to set up the playoff with Minnesota. A&M finished its season with a 19-17 record. It was the team's second straight winning Season and the thirefin five years. A&M takes tourney consolatioi FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS CHAMPAIGN, Ill.--The Texas .

Cotton Bowl Continued From Page 4 Aggies Continued From Page 4 the tough teams, we'll be where we want to be." In spite of the tough night on the floor, Barone and his players expressed happiness with the number of Aggie faithful that showed up to watch the game. "We want to the thank the fans for coming out," Barone said. "When we get settled down and play better ball, it will be a lot bet ter for the fans." Johnson echoed the sentiments of his coach. "The fans were great," Johnson srid. "It was beautiful. There aren't any fans better in the coun try." decided we would accept whichever invitation we re ceived." Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz agreed. "We played A&M a few years ago (1988) in the Cotton Bowl and they beat us decisively (35-10)," Holtz said. "We'll do the best we can with 'em." It will be Notre Dame's sixth Cotton Bowl appearance. The Irish played in the Cotton Bowl in 1970 to break a 50-year hiatus from post-season games, losing to Texas 21-17 in a game for the national ti tle. A frustrated Slocum said he might be changing his mind about a national playoff because he won't be getting a shot at Miami or Alabama, both unbeaten tear playing in the Sugar Bowl. "I'm not totally against playoffs now," Slocum said. 1 are 12-0 and I voted us numtf one in the coaches poll. 1 don think anybody has demonstrati it's better than Texas A&M." Holtz agreed, saying "Ai has every right to claim numk one. If they beat us then theyhai a right to claim number one. quit worrying about the natiom title six weeks ago." It will be the fifth Cotton Bot for the Aggies since 1986. In 111, span they've defeated Aubui and Notre Dame and lost to 01 State and Florida State. A&M became only the fill team in college football history post 12 regular season victories. "We expect some backla from the fans, but we're lucky have the matchup we have, Brock said. Whitley Continued From Page 4 the impossible occur and No. 1 Miami (11-0) and No. 2 Alabama (12-0) play to a tie in the Sugar Bowl, then all Florida State would have to do is beat lowly No. 11 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl to win the title. Had Florida State come back for a rematch against the Aggies and the Sugar Bowl played to a tie, then the winner of the Cotton Bowl would have a legitimate claim to the crown. But Smith and the CBAA didn't see it that way. "We didn't have a national championship game," Smith said Sunday after the Bowl Coalition selections were announced. "If we picked Florida State it would be a repeat game. We didn't think there was that much signif icance in choosing No. 5 over No. 3." They didn't think there was much significance, but A&M sure did. If I were head coach R.C. Slocum, I would privately be fuming at the latest in a series of attempts to deprive the undefeat ed Aggies at a national title. The Aggies haven't been given any serious credibility all season long because of the conference >hey are in and the unimpressive way in which they have won. Four teams have jumped A&M in the AP poll over the course of the season. But the AP pollsters had noth ing to do with this latest episode. As little credit as A&M has re ceived, it still was prepared to play the Seminoles by the terms of the Bowl Coalition. But the CBAA seized on the one flaw that the new coalition has - the pairings are not binding. The bowls or the teams don't have to choose or be chosen ac cording to the coalition's plans. It is merely a guideline. That is how the Cotton Bowl managed to pull the fast one on the Aggies. And do you think there's any coincidence to the fact that NBC, who will televise the Cotton Bowl for the first time, has an ex clusive contract to cover Notre Dame home football games? To set the record straight, none of this is a demeaning of Notre Dame. It's not that the Fighting Irish aren't a good op ponent. They just aren't the best opponent. If A&M beats Notre Dame by 102 points, it won't mean as much as beating Florida State by two points - at least not in the eyes of the AP voters. That's the frustrating part. So now, Texas A&M very well could be the first team in the his tory of college football to have a spotless record in 13 games and have no shot at the national championship. In fact, the Ag gies could finish 13-0 and be ranked as low as No. 4. That's sad. This is what college football has come to. If ratings are so im portant, then why don't we let Notre Dame play Miami every year for the national champi onship. That way little non drawing teams like A&M won't mess up anyone's plans. No, history will not smile at the unblemished A&M football season of 1992, but at this rate, history will not smile at college football bowl games, either. ■N RESEARCH Ever Had A Heart Attack?
