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.”

TCU’s Davis,
A&M’s Allen
get SWC honors
FORT WORTH (AP) — A
year ago, running back Andre
Davis scored four touchdowns
and a pivotal 2-point conver
sion in Texas Christian’s 35-34
victory over New Mexico.
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.
