Page 6 The Battalion Wednesday, Decemberl,li Johnson hoping Dallas can rebound from losi The Associated Press IRVING — Jimmy Johnson loves a good psychological challenge and he's got one with a Super Bowl team that has become star- crossed. “There's not a large margin of error now," the Dallas Cowboys coach said Tuesday. “It looks like our Jan. 2 game with the New York Giants is going to be a big ballgame. But we have to take care of business in the meantime." Johnson is into damage control after an ago nizing 16-14 loss to Miami on Thanksgiving Day which ended on the crazy Leon Lett blocked field goal blunder. “It's been a very disruptive year," Johnson said. “It's been difficult for us to get on a roll like we'did last year." Things haven't become so desperate that Johnson has referred to the psychology book “Flow," which he used during the Super Bowl. “I haven't had time to thumb through the chapters," Johnson said. “But this is a critical time for us. I think we will be fine and can still finish where we want to finish. But if we don't take care of business we'll be explaining what happened for the next six months. “We had a swagger coming into this season but it's not as big as it used to be," Johns said. “I think we can get it back." Johnson said he's not concerned whej the Cowboys have homefield advantage: the playoffs. ''Our goal is to win the division,; healthy, and be playing well when theplaij start," Johnson said. "If we have to playoj. road, we play on the road, no big deal doesn't make any difference." Dallas got into the Super Bowl in Jan® after defeating San Francisco in thetitlegi; at Candlestick Park. The Cowboys are currently 7-4. Jacksonville catches NFL franchise Men The Associated Press ROSEMONT, Ill. - The NFL took on a distinct Southeast tilt Tuesday, selecting longshot Jack sonville, Fla., to join Charlotte as its 1995 expansion teams. “The Southeast," commissioner Paul Tagliabue said, “is a terrific area for football, a real hotbed." So it will be the Jacksonville Jaguars playing in aqua shirts trimmed with yellow sleeves and black spots and an open-mouthed jaguar on the helmet. They joined the Carolina Panthers by beating out the old-line cities of St. Louis and Baltimore, as well as Memphis, Term. St. Louis and Baltimore each has lost teams in the past decade; Memphis was one of the favorites when the NFL first began discussing ex pansion six years ago. “Listen, in the NFL I'm not surprised about any thing/' said Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills. “You never go into any meeting with a predeter mined view." Charlotte was chosen five weeks ago at a meeting in which the owners couldn't decide on a second team. This time they did because Tagliabue made up his mind to support Jacksonville on Monday. The expansion and finance committees went 10-2 for Jacksonville, with Robert Tisch of the New York Giants and Norman Braman of the Philadelphia Ea gles supporting Baltimore. The final expansion vote was 26-2, with Braman and James Busch Orthwein of the New England Pa triots voting against Jacksonville. Tisch's co-owner, Wellington Mara, switched the Giants to the majori ty- The Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals and the Patriots all have indicated willingness to move. Baltimore is interested in the Rams and St. Louis in the Patriots. “We will follow our normal process for moving teams," said Tagliabue citing rules requiring owners to show they can do better in a new territory. Victory Continued from Page 5 picked up five steals. Branch said she was sur prised by her totals because she did not think she had a good rhythm going. "I wasn't really feeling it tonight, but when they started double-teaming, I was always the one left open.," Branch said. Defense was also a big key for A&M. The Lady Tigers managed only 16 first half points with a lowly .280 field McClelland goal percentage. After TSU got off to a quick start in the second half, A&M put the defensive clamps back on, outscoring their opponents, 33-8, over an 11 minute span. During that time, the Tigers went over five minutes without scoring a basket. Head basketball coach Lynn Hickey said she thought that although the game had many posi tives, it was no excuse for a let down. "We were running the break better, going in side better, plus doing a whole lot of little funda mental things better, " Hickey said. "This week end however is going to be another step up, and we'll be involved in two games like our first one (a 73-68 squeaker at Arizona State)." A&M will host the Lady Aggie Invitational this Saturday and Sunday. Spikers Continued from Page 5 blocking team. "They have some really big 8 iris, so we're going to have to it really smart," Kisling said. "If we play smart, we can beat them." A&M head coach Laurie Cor- belli feels there are three key things to winning. "We're going to have to play 'very disciplined," Corbelli said. "We're going to have to make adjustments as soon as possible against their main hitters and hit smart against their big blockers." The Patriots are led by middle hitter Virag Domokos who is second in the nation in block av erage (1.90) arid fourth' in hitting percentage (.447). Setter Erin Batcher is averaging 10 assists a game. "They know how to win, and they are very athletic," Corbelli said. "They're probably not as athletic as the Texas team but very similar to Houston. "I'm expecting a lot of hard hits and a real big net game. I don't think the floor defense game is going to be too pretty or the ball handling." Corbelli said she does not ex pect to see anything different from her team against the Patri ots. "We've tried about every thing we can with our group," Corbelli said. "We know what each player feels confident do- ing. "We might do a few different things On offense that not too many have seen on tape. "Nothing really drastic, though, because there is not a whole lot more that we've prac ticed that we've found has worked well." Continued from Page5 opponent and a fellow conten; for the award. "I expect a lot out ofmvsi and I look forward to doings ter," Edwards said. "Hopeful I'll just go out and play mvi and help get a win for our teas Edwards also said that team is focused on Kansas Sta! "I don't think we tookBu nell serious as a team," Edw said. "As a team, we need to it up." Bern said that there are oft things at stake besides thebal of the two guards. "The bigger picture isb they get their team to winl game," Bern said. "I think Da; is one of the top point guard: the country and he will rise to challenge." Senior forward Damon Jot son, who led the Aggies aga Bucknell with 24 points andl bounds, said that the team:, prepared for a tough game. "They are a good team and very physical, but we're read; Johnson said. "You have to mentally prepared the same; every game, but I definitelyfc we are more focused than were for Bucknell." Johnson also said that the! gies will be much improved their low post defense, somett: they had problems with in Sat: day's 73-69 victory over theBisa "We worked on it a lotdur: practice yesterday," Johnsons; "You will see a definite impro ment on post defense fort game." Senior forward Brett Mu: who Bern said had the bestr season workout of any pla! will miss his second strail game with an aggravated. 1 flexor muscle. Bern added: the injury is far more serioust: originally expected and asa: suit, a few of the Aggies'® faces will get a chance tost: their stuff while Murry heals. "(Joe) Wilbert, (Roy) Wills; (Anthony) Burks will be thro; into the fire," Bern said. "It's; ing to be live or die by that. "It's something I don't like,: that's what we have to do."

Don't tell me we've already missed the good parts. Mario Elie nails a three-pointer from the top of the circle. Rockets by two. Me (getting scalped by the ceiling fan as I jump): All right, we got the lead. Now all we have to do is figure out a way to lose this one. Gary Grant drives for the lay-up. Clippers by two. Dad: Jason and Rick, when you boys were walking in, did you happen to see the remote control in the yard? Did you look on the roof maybe it was there? Dennis: Come on Dave, they haven't lost it yet. Me: Would somebody hit him please. He's been saying the same thing since this column started. Olajuwon with the turn around, and the Rockets lead by two with seconds to go.
