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.

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.

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.
