Page 8 The Battalion Thursday, November 18,1993 Collins called from bullpen to manage Astros The Associated Press HOUSTON — Terry Collins-, a successful minor league manager over 11 years and Pittsburgh's bullpen coach the past two seasons, was named Wednesday as the Houston Astros' 11th manager. Collins, 44, promised to make the Astros a cham pionship team through dogged persistence. "How long it took me to get here is a part of what I'm made of," Collins said at a news conference an nouncing his hiring. "I'll do everything it takes to bring us a championship." The former 10-year minor league player won out in a lengthy selection process conducted by general manager Bob Watson and Astros owner Drayton McLane. Hoops Continued from Page 7 either freshmen or sophomores. "We've come together really fast in a short period of time," Mc Clelland said. "Yet being a young team, there are certain situations that can hurt you." Branch said as long as the team remains focused on what it is they need to do, improvement is em phatic. "Ever since we started practic ing, we've been getting better every day," Branch said. "We need to play with the atti tude that nobody can beat us." Hickey said she believes that the team has improved immensely from this time last season and she hopes to develop more of a power game with an increased intensity. "Offensively, I know we're ahead of where we were at this point last year," Hickey said. "My main concern, however, is defen sive transition - not only getting to the other end (of the court) but putting good pressure on the ball." Hickey said that Vilnus Rina will test her team's ability to do just that. The Lady Aggies return four starters and eleven letterwinners from a team that finished fourth in the SWC last season after posting a conference mark of 7-7 and a 15-12 record overall. In a preseason poll of confer ence coaches, the Aggies are picked to finish in a tie for third place. Following another exhibi tion game Saturday at home versus a club team from Houston, the team will open its regular season Nov. 27 in Tempe, Ariz. against Arizona State. The Lady Aggies' regular sea son home opener will be Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. when Texas Southern comes to town. Branch, the Lady Aggies' lead ing scorer a year ago, said the team is ready to get on the court and show the basketball world what they can do. "We get tired of just playing each other because we've been do ing it for two months now," Branch said. "We need to play to the fullest of our ability every night we step on the court." There were seven known candidates to replace Art Howe, fired on Oct. 5, but McLane said 11 prospects were interviewed in the exhaustive six- week search. "We started out with 75 or 80 names and that list was boiled down and boiled down through count less hours of study/.' Watson said. "The result is we have the right man for this job." Collins, 44, managed in the minor leagues for the Pirates and Los Angeles Dodgers. He's been Pitts burgh's bullpen coach the last two seasons. Astros pitcher and former Pirate Doug Drabek al ready knows something about Collins' style. "He's been very successful in Class AAA, and I don't see why he can't be a good manager here," Drabek said. "I know he can get fired up. If people start dragging, he'll let you know about it." Rush Continued from Page 7 glaring at the enemy sideline. Maybe Mickens learned his antics from teammate Aaron Glenn, who mans the other side of the defensive sec ondary. "A.G." has teased oppo nents not once, but twice this season. Both times Glenn showed the ball to his oppo nent while legging it into the endzone for an A&M touch down. Against the University of Missouri, Glenn breezed right by the punter after returning his kick 76 yards. Last week, he showed Louisville Cardinals quarter back Jeff Brohm his mistake be fore putting the Aggies ahead and the game away 28-7 early in the third quarter after Brohm through the untimely interception to Glenn. Linebacker Steve Solari also adds his act to the show. Solari celebrates after a big play by taking a giant baseball swing towards the crowd. Solari's Babe Ruth-like bat ting stance and home run cut after he sacked Rice's quarter back Bert Emanuel got a rise out of a dozing crowd late in the game at Rice Stadium this year. Not left out of the action, however, is subtle sophomore quarterback Corey Pullig. "What?" you say. Well, it may 1 * not be as grandiose as a baseball swing or a ball taunting ritual, but it is a gesture just the same. If you watch closely after a long- completed pass, you might see Pullig clench his fist in front of his upper body, as if to say, "Yessssss." Defensive end Eric England has shown that he deserves a spot on the now defunct show "Puttin' on the Hits" for his celebratory moves. England, after stuffing running backs for a loss or pouncing on opposing quarterbacks, often does a strut while lifting his arms up in the air, switching his arms, when he takes each step. (Overall, I'd give him a 30 for originali ty, a 28 on lip sync and a 29 for appearance.) Glenn once said that he thought England wanted to be a defensive back. Maybe the defensive backs have created an epidemic that has spread to the other players, or maybe England's dance is the first stage in his transition from de fensive end to defensive back. Then again, maybe not. Not to be left out of all the hoopla, and maybe the grand daddy of all performers, is de fensive end Sam Adams. Adams usually receives a slap on the helmet or a head-butt by England, and then crosses his arms to make an "X." Adams' ritual is said to be done when he "Xs" them out. He once tried to celebrate the ultimate version of his "X" after a touchdown which he scored at the Rice game, but was mobbed by teammates be fore he could finish the job. In case you need a review, let's recap: Being performed by your fa vorite players every Saturday at your local Texas A&M foot ball game: (Remember kids, please don't attempt these moves at home). Pullig: Classic QB clench. Hill: TheGHT Ray-Ray: No, no baby! Glenn: Want a ball? - Psy che. Solari: Ths Solari Slam. Sam: The X marks the spot England: Double the effort with Double-E While football can be a seri ous business, it's still just a game that the players should celebrate and have fun with, especially when you're 7-1. Stay tuned next Thursday when the team will release its "Cotton Bowl Shuffle" against Texas. Volleyball Continued from Page 7 took time to reflect over the first part of her first season. "I believed we had this kind of potential when 1 first came in here," Corbelli said. "When I saw the talent of Kim Mitchell and (fellow se nior middle blocker) Amy Kisling, the hitting ability of our outside hitters and Suzy Wente's setting ability, I knew that by coming together we had the chance to do some real nice things." Corbelli said that she thought that the big turning point for the team in the regu lar season was the victory against Northern Illinois on October 15 at G. Rollie White Coliseum. "That game really meant a lot to us because it was against a very solid, ranked team," Corbelli said. "We had played other ranked teams and did not play well. To laeat them was a really big high for this team and a lot of pride for this coaching staff." As the post-season begins, two Lady Aggies are bearing down on a pair of impressive records. Having set the A&M single-season kill record this season, senior outside hitter Sheila Morgan needs 36 more kills to break the SWC record of 562 kills. A bit less flamboyant, hut just as consistent, is Wente, who is bearing down on the A&M season assist record set by Yvonne Van Brandt in 1987. Wente needs 51 assists to match Van Brandt's record of 1,418. Neither player pays much attention to the numbers, but Wente said she thinks the ac colades simply add to the team's reputation. "The hitters and I simply feed off each other's play, and the records come naturally," Wente said. "Mainly, if I just do my job, and I know the hitters will do theirs, then we'll be all right." Despite the broken individ ual records and the outstand ing team record, the players realize that a slip-up at this point will end their regular season very quickly. Morgan said she believes 1 the team is ready to rededi cate itself to playing smart and winning. "I'm happy with what we've done this year, but you can never be satisfied," Mor gan said. "I think we need to get to gether, and kind of regroup on how we need to finish out the season. We need to finish strong, and if we do that, everything else will just fall into place/' J^L ■+■ ‘TC >5? z 260-2660 Tickets will be on sale Sunday 11/28, 7-9 p.m. Fri. 11/19 Sat. 11/20 Sun. 11/21 Mon. 11/22 PHYS 201 2 p.m. - fa p.m. CH 14, 15, 16 9 a.m. - Noon CH 17, 18 9 p.m. - Midnite CH19, 20 Practice Exam 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Practice Exam CHEM 102 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. A Old Exams 8-10 p.m. B Old Exams BIOL 113 3-6 p.m. Review 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. Practice Old Exams Arfs Classes I AFTER THANKSGIVING SCHEDULE Sun. 11/21 Sun. 11/28 Mon. 11/29 Tues. 11/30 Wed. 12/1 ACCT 230 6-9 p.m. Test review MATH 151 Review I 9 p.m. - 11 p.m. MATH 151 Review II 9-11 p.m. MATH 151 Review III 9-11 p.m. MATH 151 Test Review 9-11 p.m. MATH 151 ' 9 p.m. - 12 Mid.
