I first became
aware that
America had
a problem on
its hands when
I attended a Lit
tle League play
off game last
summer.
1 had just
taken my seat
in front of what
seemed like all
of the players'
mothers and
grandmothers
when the pitch
er recorded his
first strikeout of
the evening. The stands went wild
with ovation as the next batter made
his way to the plate.
Then the unthinkable happened.
All the women behind me (about
30 in all, ages ranging from 30-70)
stood up and shouted at the top of
their lungs, “Whoomp! There it is! ....
Whoomp! There it is!" You don't
know what strange is until you've
seen a person without any teeth sing
lyrics from a song that praises
women's butts.
Now, every time I turn on the TV,
I see whole stadiums yelling Ameri
ca's new catch phrase. Studio com
mentators and booth announcers are
getting into the act as well thinking
they are cool, "Seau is looking for his
first sack of the game (Crash)
Whoomp! There it is!", "Aikman to
Irvin, Whoomp! There it is!"
It's getting so bad that announcers
are now' starting to use other song ti
tles when calling games. In last Sat
urday's Texas-Oklahoma game, ABC
commentator Mark Jones described a
play by saying, "On that sack

Texas A&M volleyball stands at 17-4 for
1993, but can stand to accomplish a lot more
in the Southwest Conference, begin
ning Wednesday a four-game
conference stretch facing the ,/,
Houston Cougars first in G. \ 7-
Rollie White at 7 p.m.
The Lady Aggies are
ranked seventh in the South
Region and in the conference
trail only the Texas Lady Long
horns, the third-ranked team in the nation.
The Houston game is A&M's first home
contest since defeating Rice in three straight
games on Oct. 10.
A&M head volleyball coach Laurie Cor-
belli said her team, which has already won
two more games than it had won all of last
season, is still working on fine-tuning its
high-intensity offense in preparation for
Houston.
"We have been working on speeding up
our attack a little bit; trving to isolate our hit
ters one-on-one," Corbelli said. "It's been
working sometimes, and it hasn't been work
ing sometimes.
"From what we've seen scouting (Hous
ton), we've identified the areas that we really
need to work on, as far as defense and block
ing."
But the offense is clicking. Senior outside
hitter Sheila Morgan ranks fourth nationally
in kills (non-returnable hits) with a
... 5.42 average, and sophomore
setter Suzy Wente is 13th in
the nation in sets with a
12.46 average. Both players
^4—are tops in the conference in
these statistics along with se-
' nior utility player Genny
Wood, first in digs with a 3.47 aver
age.
Morgan credited Wente for the offense's
success. And vice versa.
"Suzy Wente is doing a nice job of distrib
uting the sets evenly," Morgan said. "Good
passing allows us to run a much quicker of
fense and allows us to open up a lot more

The Baylor Bears will try to get off the ground
against Texas A&M this weekend, but that will de
pend on whether Bears quarterback J. J. Joe is ready to
throw the football.
The Bears (4-2; 2-1) will try to wear down A&M's
fourth-ranked defense in the nation with a potent
rushing attack, but plan to throw some passes - if
they have to.
Last week, the Bears ran the ball 92 straight times
against the Mustangs of Southern Methodist, compil
ing 482 yards rushing and because of senior quarter
back JJ. Joe's sore arm, neglected to throw a single
pass.
Bears' head football coach Chuck Reedy, in his first
year holding the Bears' reins, said that the Baylor of
fense will not try a similar game plan against the Ag
gies.
"We will definitely throw the ball more this week,"
Reedy said. "We'll have to thi'ow the ball to have a
chance against A&M."
Reedy said that tine key to success will be to keep
the Aggies guessing on defense.
"We're going to have to lie balanced, running and
passing on offense," Reedy said. "They are too good
for us to be one-dimensional against them."
Sophomore tailback Brandell Jackson, who rushed
for 106 yards last week, said he thinks the game will
come down to the number of turnovers.
"I think whoever doesn't turn the ball over (wall
wan)," Jackson said. "It is going to be a very physical
game because both teams have strong offenses and
strong defenses."
Jackson also said that because Baylor has had suc
cess rushing behind an offensive line averaging 293
