Rollie White DAVID WINDER Spcrtswriter 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 Aubrey Beavers told Shea Morenz See Winder/Page 6 A&IS/Ts Morgan, Wente power offense, rack up statistical recognition By William Harrison Tut Battauiw 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 See Lady Aggies/Page 6 1 St M Mike Steele/Tm Battalion A&M's Suzy Wente (10) and Amy Risking (7) reach for a block during the Lady Aggies' upset victory over then 21 st-ranked Florida State on September 1 7. aTm The Texas Aggies vs. the Baylor Bears Baylor hopes to dust off passing attack against Texas A&M Darrin Hill/Tuc BatTauom A&M's Greg Hill (27) runs and Doug Carter (32) looks for a block during last years' Baylor game at Kyle Field. By Matthew J. Rush 7hc Battalion 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 See Baylor/Page 6 Vi 11 p-Fi.
