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.

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."

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.

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/'
