The sun is shining, the birds are singing and children are playing in the street. It's a scene worthy of a Nor man Rockwell painting. For some people, how ever, this fall Saturday means only one thing: col lege football. This is the story of one person. Billy Joe ( the names have been changed to pro tect the innocent) rolled out of bed at approximate ly 11 a.m. on this particu lar day. He has promised a friend, Mr. Orange, that they would listen to the Texas A&M-Rice game on the radio, so he throws on some clothes, grabs his boom box and heads out to their favorite hangout spot. Since he slept through breakfast, Billy Joe decid- WILLIE CORRINGTON Sportswriter previoi her fath The < Reese Her m child re: ed to stop at FreebtrdS and get a monster chicken burrito to tide him over until supper. Once Billy Joe and Mr. Orange settled into their respective viewing positions, the fun began. Not only were they listening to the Aggie game on the radio, they were watching another game on televi sion with the sound turned down. This turned out to be extremely confusing. As A&M's Leeland McElroy was running back a kickoff for a touchdown, Billy Joe wondered aloud why the players on the television were in punt for mation and not chasing Mr. McElroy like they should be. This sort of thing went on for the en tirety of both games. The day's early games provided very little in the way of dramatics, so there was plenty of time for idle chatter. The conversation centered on a plan to get A&M ranked high enough to have a chance to play for a national title. "If Notre Dame, Ohio State, Miami, Alabama, Nebraska, Arizona, Tennessee, Auburn and Flori da all lost at least one game and A&M won all of its remaining games," Mr. Orange surmised, "a number one versus number two matchup with Florida State in the Cotton Bowl is a definite possi bility." "Riiiiight," Billy Joe replied, laughing hysterical ly. "I think we'll see Rush Limbaugh wearing Birkenstocks and a tie-dyed muumuu before that scenario will unfold. Texas A&M should justtai: care of its own business and let the pollsshai: themselves out." While this great debate rages on, the Aggiesaii polishing off Rice, 38-10. The offense, defense,sjf cial teams and Reveille all scored touchdowns. Billy Joe, having shotgunned three orfouitfe Cokes at halftime, has been content tospendtk second half of the game practicing his belchir; technique, while Mr. Orange has attempted tol ten to the game amid these paint-peeling sop booms. This sort of behavior (belching, that is) isnotu: common to the football addict, especially when & game is a rout. It's Billy Joe's way of saying, "1 am man me roar." Next on the docket is the ABC telecast of theAi abama-Mississippi game, a contest featuring gre defenses. The highlight of this game was ended. This brings up another characteristic of thefod! ball addict, which is watching a game to itsconck! sion even if the person doesn't care a thing abo: either team. Why did Billy Joe and Mr. Orange watch! game? Because it was on, that's why. It'salnwjt like they're afraid the game wein't continueuris they are tuned in to the action. Following a half-hour break to get caught up the day's scores and highlights, the two comradel settle in for the ESPN game featuring Syracuseani Miami. This was to be the capper of a productive day(fl football watching. Unfortunately, they neverevtf made it to the half. Some heathen life forms wanted to watdil asp!) a baseball game. They said somethin! about it being important, like it was a World Serif game. After careful deliberation, Billy Joe relinquished the TV and went bowling with Mr. Orange and some of their friends. After rolling a ratherpilfiil 73, Billy Joe called it a night. There you have it, The sad, wretched, unfulfilled life of Billy Joe Robidoux, football addict. It's a situation justbej ging to be corrected. No cure has been found of yet, hut some treai ments that have proven effective in combating i insidious malady include camping, doing home work, jogging and listening to Wayne New! CDs.
