CrAN.ES ^— 77/0/ VJI^RJT NUhX/SEn- ONE Lady Aggies Continued from Page 5 whenever I talked to her, she did what we asked of her. "She is going to be able to score, and to have a number four position player able to shoot out side, that will be a tremendous help to us." The Lady Aggies jumped out to a 51-37 halftime advantage and never relinquished their lead. Four Aggies scored in double fig ures including sophomore center Kelly Cerny who poured in 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Sophomore point guard Lisa Branch also excelled, notching eight p oints and 10 assists. TCU Continued from Page 5 "We're not taking TCU lightly at all." Center Chris Dausin said A&M has to be careful not to become over-anxious this weekend. As difficult as it is, he said, the team must stay focused on TCU or they could rob the Aggies of a third consecutive SWC championship. "We can't go in there just look ing forward to the Turkey Day ame with Texas and overlook CU because they can beat you," Dausin said. "They don't nearly compare with our talent, but they can beat us." But the Horned Frogs have not beaten the Aggies since 1972 and A&M also leads the series between the two teams 52-29-7. Solari said when playing teams such as TCU where the Aggies are favored by 25 points, the timing of the game, among other things, can be a major factor in contributing to player's motivation. "I think it will make it a lot easi er because it is towards the end of the season and we have a goal of attaining the Southwest Confer ence championship again," Solari said. "I think if it had been earlier on in the season, it would have it been different." With a win over TCU this weekend and a Texas victory over Baylor, the Aggies will tie for the SWC title with the Longhorns. Then, only Texas stands in A&M's way to capture a threepeat. If A&M can remained focused, Dausin said, victory should not be a problem. "Coaches have (said),'you're going to have to go out there and just blowout TCU/ and that's ex actly what we should do. We have no excuses if it should be a close game." Besides winning big against the Horned Frogs, Dausin said his main concern is TCU defensive end Royal West. This season. West has registered nine sacks for 58 yards in losses, averaged seven tackles a game, 15 tackles behind the line of scrim mage for losses of 68 yards and has a school record of 34 quarterbacl pressures. "He (West) is probably thebesl defensive lineman they've got up there," Dausin said. "Hopefully, I'll teach himto have a little respect for me. I havt some respect for him. I'm goingto go in there and play my best gam? against TCU. Harrison Continued from Page 5 much of the core of what the team's poewrful offense would be under fne reins of new coach Jim my Johnson - Michael Irvin, the rights to Troy Aikman, Daryl John ston, and much of its offensive line. Jimmy Johnson. Jones called on his college roommate from their days on me University of Arkansas football team to take control of the Cowboys. Jones called on a man who had hopped from coaching shady football programs at the sanction-ravaged Oklahoma State and Miami, one of the dirtiest teams in the history of college foot ball. Jimmy Johnson. The man whose marriage he abandoned af ter the decorative purpose of keep ing his wife around became obso lete after the need to attend college football banquets was gone. With a prima donna owner and a coach who makes as many per sonnel changes as underwear in a year, this is an organization that nas had no continuity in the three years these two have been at the helm in Dallas. This divisive strate gy just hasn't shown - yet. But how did Landry survive in the big business of professional football? How did his team be come America's Team? Like the Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, who recently passed George Halas on the all-time record list of NFL coaches, Landry was an innovator, an adapter. Landry invented the shotgun formation, the flea-flicker and the flex defense. He had a reputation of getting the most out of bus teams with his unique control, patience and savvy. But before the legend started, Landry spent six seasons on the losing end of the NFL, and his job was then very much in jeopardy. Just once, as a young coach, strug gling to keep his job, Landry broke down in front or his players after the team's poor start and appealed to them that they could turn it around. They did, and the legend was bom. A lesser owner would have fired him after two losing seasons, let alone five losers and one .500 year, but Murchison retained confi dence in Landry, and the coach re warded him over the long haul. Tex Schramm built the best front desk in the NFL and Gil Brandt, in charge of player personnel, revolu tionized scrutinizing the athletes in the NFL draft. But Landry became "too old," the bandwagon fans of the Jones- led Cowboys said, rationalizing how to enjoy the fair weather of be ing Dallas fan, with clouds far off on the horizon. The shadow of Landry's leg endary profile fell on halftime of the Cowboys-Giants game as he was inducted into Texas Stadium's Ring of Honor, casting a pall over the Cowboys' successful seasonal questions of what the Cowboys are now resurfaced. Before the induction, formei Cowboys quarterback Danm White had emphasized "family" ii his summary of the style tha: Landry used to handle his team. And what are the Cowboys now? They are a coach who has tit tle loyalty to an organization, open ly speculating on whether he wl move on or not - a football so ciopath who just wants to win, wherever. And they are an owner who can't keep his cheesy, huckster griii out of the spotlight, or his pride out of the personnel decisions from "jocks to socks." When the spot light of being "popular" is gone,sc will be Jones, taking his carpet-ba; someplace else. No, this is Pop culture's Team It is high on the charts today fectious and glamourous, but thi: present organization will be gone Tomorrow. Ortiz Continued from Page 5 reluctant to bring in the talent that Johnson has asked for. From the infamous Hershel Walker trade to recent signing of former Cleveland Brown quarter back Bernie Kosar, the Jones-John- son duo has gone out of its way to make the 'Boys the best team in the NFL. Granted, there were and are some problems that were not dealt with in the best possible fashion. The Emmitt Smith contract situa tion could have been handled bet ter and Troy Aikman's contract needs to be settled quickly before it becomes a distraction to the 'Boys' defense of the national champi onship. Did I say national champi onship? What better reason do Cowboys fans have to consider the 'Boys "America's Team?" The best team in the country should have the inherent right to lay claim to the "America's Team" title. The Cowboys also garnish a spirit and support that is uncompa rable. Last year I attended the game between the Cowboys and the Los Angeles Raiders. Over 90,000 fans filled the L.A. Coliseum - the most since the Raiders moved back to Los Angeles in 1987. Yet Cowboys fans outnumbered Raiders fans. The Coliseum, remember, is the same place where fans are violently g ersuaded into cheering for the aiders. A season earlier, a Pitts burgh Steelers fan was beaten so severely that he ended up in a coma at a Los Angeles hospital. But Cowboys fans refused to be in timidated. They not only cheered the 'Boys on, their chants rendered Raiders' cheers powerless. The Cowboys are the only team in the NFL that sell out at every sta dium they perform in. From coast to coast, "America's Team" is the biggest draw in the country. The Cowboys also lead the na tion in the sales of team memora bilia. Children, as well as adults, throughout the country are sport ing Cowboys hats, jackets, short and many other items with thi 'Boys logo on it. And then there is Aikman Smith, Irvin and the rest of thi ' Boys. These players are the mai; reason Dallas has regained the til of "America's Team." Like Roe Staubach, Torn/ Dorsett and tl endless list of Cowboys immortal before them, the players have pro vided fans with the winning mys tique that creates an aura of invm cibility. Maybe its a Texas thing, buti ; the NFL needs to have an 97 Amen ca's Team", would it not be intht state where supposedly everythin' is bigger? That semi-pro team in Houston is sure not rushing for the opportunity.
