Diener Continued from page 5 through class, it hit me. The steamroller was back on the prowl, relentless in its tor ture of my poor body. Lightheaded and drowsy, I slowly slithered like a drunk en snake to my Latin class. The 50 minutes seemed to last an eternity. The steam roller was getting the best of me. Two and half hours lat er, after missing my final two classes of the day, I was fast asleep in my germ ridden, queen sized bed. The curse of Coach Lom bardi? Would all have been different had I taken time to readmore? The day ended up being a lost one. Not much studying and too much sleep. Not a Lombardi-esque day. Tuesday... I woke up late, however, I was feeling better. On the shuttle bus journey to school, I cracked open “Motivation Lombardi Style.” The book, a collection of quotations by and about Lombardi and his ability to inspire, began to have a profound effect on me. Had I been a baby about my cold?(Hell yes!:Ed) Could I have made it through the day and persevered? Lom bardi could have. He was the driving force behind the Green Bay Pack ers, winners of Super Bowls I and II. Arguably the great est head coach in NFL histo ry, Lombardi obviously left behind a legacy that included much more than just two Super Bowl rings. Not only is Vince Lombar di football, he is people. Be you a football player, a stu dent, or whatever, his “Lom- bardisms” live on to this day, serving to inspire all, even the feeble and weak minded like myself... “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excel lence, regardless to their chosen field of endeavor.” RATHER Wednesday I Mostly cloudy with isolated siowers and thunderstorms.

So, what could he do for an encore? How about two more touch downs, one a record-setting 87- yard romp, and a staggering 325 yards rushing, the third best total in Southwest Confer ence history? “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” laughed Davis Tuesday, three days after the Horned Frogs raced to a 44-29 verdict over the Lobos in Albuquerque Sat urday night. “But I feel pretty good.” The Associated Press hon ored Davis as the offensive player of the week for his 325- yard performance, which, in credibly, was not a school record. Texas A&M’s Dennis Allen, who had two interceptions in the Aggies’ 36-14 victory over Oklahoma, was named SWC defensive player of the week. Tony Jeffery rushed for 343 yards in a 48-31 victory over Tulane in 1986. Davis, a 5-foot-10, 184- pound junior from Longview, admitted he was a bit happy and more than a little excited about his New Mexico caper. But, he said, there was a downside. “It overshadowed the tremendous job the entire of fensive unit did,” he said. Indeed, quarterback Max Knake passed for 36 yards and two touchdowns and receiver Chris Brasfield caught six of those tosses for 150 yards, in cluding a 62-yarder for a touchdown.
