Slocum said. "The president
made a statement and I really
have not had enough time to
evaluate the situation."
The NCAA announced the
suspensions of linebacker
Jessie Cox, running back Greg
Hill, wide receiver Brian
Mitchell, defensive back Billy
Mitchell and offensive line
man James Brooks on Friday.
All five were found guilty of
receiving illegal payments
from an A&M booster due to
work not performed.
Cox will receive the most
extensive punishment of the
five, losing a full season of eli
gibility because of his knowl
edge and monetary gain from
the scheme. Cox received
$3,000 and will have to pay
$2,580 of it back.
Hill will miss five games
and must repay the entire
$1,400 he received. Brian
Mitchell is suspended for four
games and will have to repay
$960 of the $1,200 he was giv
en. Billy Mitchell is out for
three games and Brooks will
miss two. Mitchell will have
to return $680 of the $800 he
received and Brooks will re
pay $780 out of $1000.
Gage released a statement
Friday regarding his feelings
about the NCAA penalties.
"I am angered and disap
pointed about the actions tak
en by the NCAA regarding
several football student ath
letes," Gage said. "Through
out this whole process we
have demonstrated our total
commitment to integrity and
compliance.
"We underwent a vigorous
and immediate self-examina
tion and recommended penal
ties that were respectful of the
rules that were broken."
Gage and A&M officials re
viewed the NCAA records
over the weekend and will de
termine whether or not to ap
peal the rulings this week.
Sooners
Continued from Page 5
While A&M's running game
floundered, Oklahoma's flour
ished. Freshman James Allen and
sophomore Terry Collier com
bined for 177 rushing yards and
two touchdowns.
Senior quarterback Cale
Gundy, who was sacked four
times, managed to consistently
find the open man while eluding
the grasp of a would-be tackier.
Gundy threw for 167 yards and
two touchdowns.
While Gundy was racking up
impressive statistics, the Aggies
were racking up injuries. Senior
linebacker Steve Solari, junior
linebacker Larry Jackson and
sophomore cornerback Ray Mick-
ens all suffered concussions but
are expected to play this Saturday.
"Offensively, I felt like Okla
homa did an excellent job of run
ning and passing the football,"
Slocum said. "Gundy is a good
quarterback and he has capable
receivers and Allen is going to be
a good running back.
"Of course our injuries hurt us
because we lost some key per
formers, but the running ability of
their backs and the execution of
their line was the difference."
A&M linebacker Jason Atkin
son agreed.
"They took advantage of every
thing we gave them," Atkinson
said. "They capitalized on the
mistakes we made."
A&M turned the ball over six
times, not including a blocked
punt in the first quarter which got
the Sooners going.
After OU kicked a field goal for
a 3-0 lead, the Sooners' JaJuan
Penny blew up the middle, un
touched, and blocked James Ben
nett's punt. Three plays later.
Gundy threw a 12-yard touch
down pass to senior Corey War
ren for a 10-0 advantage.
Oklahoma added another field
goal to take a 13-0 lead at half
time, but the lead could have been
bi gg er - 'j
Oklahoma sophomore line
backer Mario Freeman added to
A&M's misery on the first series
of the third quarter. Freeman in
tercepted a Pullig pass and re
turned it to the Aggies' eleven
yard line, setting up Oklahoma
for an easy touchdown.
Gundy teamed up with Allen
on a ten yard scoring pass to give
the Sooners a 20-0 lead and total
control of the game, probably
ending any chance of a national
championship for the Aggies.
"Of course this hurts us," se
nior center Chris Dausin said.
"But we can't look at it like that.
We've got another game next
week. We just have to start all
over again."

weren't getting a fair shake from national
voters after walking unscathed through the
'92 season. "Nobody respects A&M," we all
said. "They all think we have a weak confer
ence," or "They have something against the
Aggies; that's why they aren't voting us in
the top spot."
The weak conference part might have been
true, many thought, but A&M can't pick who
is in the conference. Is it R.C. Slocum's fault
that Texas and Baylor have slid from national
prominence, and that Rice hasn't fielded a
decent team since the Korean War? Of
course not.
There was an argument that the confer
ence wasn't as weak as people made it out to
be. The SWC, after all, had a winning record
against Mie highly respected Pac-10 in '92,
and theTVggies defeated that league's co
champion. So maybe the SWC isn't as weak
as you all say.
But then came Saturday and Oklahoma.
Mark that date on your calendars, because
from now on, that will be considered the
SWC's D-Day. A league Black Saturday, if
you wish. That was the day that anyone who
had any respect for SWC football started to
side with its detractors. And not just because
of A&M's 30-point spanking at the hands of
the 17th-ranked Sooners.
Saturday was a big opportunity for the
SWC to prove something. Those who ques
tioned A&M's abilities after the Cotton Bowl
could be answered with the fact that A&M's
opponent, Notre Dame, was one of the best
teams in the nation. And if the Aggies could
dispose of the Sooners on regional television,
people would see they were a good group of
football players after all.
Yes, the chance to make a statement was
definitely missed, and no one can blame just
the Aggies. Baylor and Tech had their
chances, too.
But they missed a chance to prove they
were one of the best. And even if A&M fin
ishes undefeated in its final nine games,
they will never get past the damage this
season that one loss did in their quest for
national respect.
