Are today's Cowboys still
the America's Team of old?

L ife after
Tom
Landry
was not easy
for the Dallas
Cowboys, but
to say that the
'Boys have not
regained their
stature as
America's
Team is ridicu
lous.
Yes. Can
you believe it?
Some poor
souls continue
to question that
the 'Boys are
back.
Sure, the 'Boys will never be the
same under the coaching of Jimmy
Johnson as they were under "The
Man in the Hat," but this change
was not for the worse.
By investing his hard earned
$140 million. Cowboys'
Owner Jerry Jones bought the
right to do whatever he wanted to
do with the 'Boys. That included
hurting the feelings of some die
hard Cowboy fans with the firing
of Landry.
Landry's enshrinement into the
Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium
two weeks ago brought back many
good memories to the Cowboys'
faithful. Landry deserves to be re
membered as the coach who built
the Cowboys' mystique. But is un
fair to still harbor ill feelings for the
Cowboys and Jones because of
what he did to Landry on a sad
Dallas night in Feb. 1989.
People question Jones' commit
ment to winning, obviously forget
ting his actions to bring in extra tal
ent and dumping off old baggage.
From the start, Jones has not been

what does

Well, Dallas

Strange.
That's the
same motto
the Los Ange

chieftain A1 Davis used for his de
cidedly irreverent, un-American
Raiders: He said, "Just win,
baby."
Since Jerry Jones bought the
Dallas Cowboys, he has fashioned
a decidedly different America's
Team than the one that original
Cowboys owner Clint Murchison,
general manager Tex Schramm
and coach Tom Landry forged.
The team's image was built by
these original Cowboys and pirat
ed by Jones, who has abandoned
what the original organization
stood for to its fans.
Jerry Jones. He canned Tom
Landry in 1989, and the news hit
the media before Jones had the de
cency to tell Landry in a simple
phone call. Jerry Jones canned a
coach that put together an unpar

seasons before the coach's talent
ran dry in a series of personnel
mistakes and misfortunes, which
were beyond the coach's control.

Lady Aggies open season defiantly
By Matthew J. Rush
77ic Battalion
The Lady Aggie basketball
team went international on
Thursday night as they scored a
99-78 preseason victory over
Vilnius, Lithuania.
Texas A&M head coach Lynn
Hickey said after the game that
she was excited about the way
that her team played in their
first game.
"A great, great effort," Hick
ey said. "We executed extreme
ly well and we shot the ball very
well tonight."
Hickey also said that the
team was sluggish at times, but
that the effort was there
throughout the entire game.
"We came out in the second
half and hit sort of a dry spell,"
Hickey said. "But overall, it was
a great effort by the whole
team."
The Aggies were paced by se
nior forward Beth Burket who
led all scorers with 20 points.
Burket, who made nine of 15
shots from the field also
grabbed 12 rebounds, including
eight offensive boards.
Burket said that the depth of
the Aggies' talent enabled the
team to get into an offensive
flow early in the game.
"It's just a relief to see the
teamwork we had out there,"
Burket said. "We weren't rely
ing on certain people to do
things and it was so much more
natural.
"Every time down there, a
different person was sparking
and that's what we need."
Burket said that her own per
formance was a much needed
boost to her self-confidence lev
el.
"The way that I ended last
season, I definitely needed this,"
Burket said. "I feel like I'm
ready to do what this team
needs from me."
Freshman forward Marianne
Miller had an impressive debut
as she scored 15 points, includ
ing two three pointers. She was
perfect four-of-four from the
field.
Miller said that even though
she didn't miss a shot, she said
that she still had a case of the
first game jitters.
"I was scared, I was scared to
death," Miller said. "Everybody
on the team talked to me and re
ally calmed me down.
"They helped me out a lot."
Hickey said that she was
pleased with the freshman's ef
fort and that she looks forward
to her having similar nights in
the future.
"I think for a freshman and
for her first night out against a
physical team, she did very,
very well," Hickey said. "I
jumped on her a little about her
defensive rebounding, but

The Battalion
Riding on a wave of exultation from a de
cisive win over the Louisville Cardinals, the
tenth-ranked Texas Aggies will try to main
tain the momentum as they meet Texas
Christian University in Fort Worth Saturday.
Although the Horned Frogs (4-6, 2-4)
have a losing record inside and outside of
the Southwest Conference, A&M players
said they can not be underestimated because
of TCU's history of posting major upsets
against unsuspecting opponents.
Baylor was one of TCU's victim this sea
son, losing 38-13 in Waco. Last season, TCU
upset Texas 23-14.
"We're not going to let that happen to
us," outside linebacker Steve Solari said.
