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.

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

Holtz agreed, saying "Ai

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,

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.
