Lisa Branch drives in from the three-point line against an LSU
defender in Wednesday nights 58-57 victory over the Tigers.
ball with two seconds left.
A&M coach Lynn Hickey ad
mitted that the situation made
her nervous.
"We were lucky that the foul
wasn't a 1-and-l situation. We
knew that it would be a difficult
shot for them to make but we
couldn't take anything for grant
ed."
Miriam Farr's desperation
half-court heave at the buzzer
was off the mark and A&M had
salvaged the victory.
Burket and Branch agreed
that the victory belonged to the
whole team.
"I knew the game was under
our belt," Burket said. "I knew
we could win it and the win was
a total team effort."
Branch added that the Aggies
benefited by staying together as a
unit. She also had a message for
Burket.
"It was good rebound by her,
Beth saved me," Branch said. "1
was glad she was there to put the
ball back in the hole.
"Tonight was a good tight win
for us."
The first half provided an indi
cation that the game would be
close after A&M and LSU played
to a 31-31 deadlock at intermis
sion.
A&M was paced by Martha
McClelland's seven points in the
first half while LSU was led by
Cornelia Gayden's 11.
After the teams traded a cou
ple of baskets to start the second
stanza, the Aggies attempted to
put the game away midway
through the second half. Branch
hit a three-pointer that ignited
the Aggies on a 19-7 run which
resulted in a 55-43 lead.
Hickey said she was happy to
see Branch, a freshman, step up
and make that shot.
"It was a beautiful shot," Hick
ey said. " We need that from
her."
Branch said that she felt the
opportunity to make a big play.
"It was time for me to make a
play and that shot gave us the
momentum that we needed at the
moment," she said.
Hickey said she was disap-
pointed, however, that her team
almost blew a twelve-point lead.
"We made some mistakes,"
she said. "When you have a lead,
you need a killer instinct."
Burket echoed her coach's
comments.
"We are a young team but we
have progressed," she said. "We
need that killer instinct but we
definitely know now that we can
win in any circumstance.
"That will benefit us in future
games."

reach a higher plane of con
sciousness.
They may start eating tofu,
wonder if snails have feelings,
or perhaps ponder traveling to
Tibet to become a Shinto priest
just like sensitive-guy Steven
Seagal.
2. Change Teams.
Many could become the fla-
vor-of-the-month fan just like
half the people on the Dallas
Cowboy bandwagon.
There are quite a few who
continually pledge their die
hard loyalty to the Pokes. How
ever they find difficulty remem
bering when Steve Pelluer quar
terbacked them through a 3-13
season.
When Jimmy Johnson arrived
the next year with Troy Aikman,
the best thing since the Heimlich
maneuver, Aikman was prompt
ly booed through a 1-15 season,
but is the subject of fan adula
tion today.
3. Take a pick axe to the en
tire team, so general manager
Mike Holovak can draft a new
squad.
This may seem irrational, but
whoever does it will wind up
with exclusive movie rights that
would pay some sweet divi
dends by the time parole comes
around in one or two years.
4. Stick with the Oilers.
It's been said the true defini
tion of a fanatic is one who re
doubles his efforts while losing
sight of his goal, and only a true
fanatic that can look past a
team's deficiencies the size of
the Oilers'.
The Mets in their first season
won 37 and lost 112 games as
one of the worst baseball teams
ever assembled, and the fans
could only appreciate them with
laughter.
People in Pittsburgh survived
42 years of the Steeler's inepti
tude and were rewarded with
four Super Bowls in the span of
six years and, for a while, could
bask in the glow of one of the
best teams in NFL history.
But beforehand, the fans had
to endure a team that year after
year was regarded as the very
worst in the league. Incompetent
coaching and player manage
ment, such as the cutting loose
of soon to be quarterback-of-his-
era Johnny Unitas, kept the
Steelers the butt of everybody's
jokes, including the fans.
And it's this point the Oilers
have reached.
The Oilers won the first two
championships in the original
American Football League back
in 1960-61 and haven't won any
thing since except for a measly
central division championship
last season against meager com
petition — and they barely ac
complished that.
They have been to the play
offs six consecutive seasons, the
longest streak in the NFL, and
haven't even advanced to the
championship game.
The team that inspired the
phenomenal "Luv Ya Blue" civic
pride in the '70s, gave their fans
the worst team in the NFL in the
'80s after the departure of Bum
Phillips and Earl Campbell.
For the '90s, they have the
best talent in the league, the
worst reputation for their in
creasingly degrading and dumb
founding losses, and the hottest
t-shirt in town featuring "Luv
Ya Blue It" displayed proudly
across the chest.
It really is getting funny
watching how low they can go,
and the only cold comfort for
the fans is to sit back, endure,
and try to laugh a little.
The Oilers certainly can win
for losing,, bib h's tbe, tabs that,,
deserve a trqpjiy for jt.
