Alabama still
in position for
national title
STEWART
DOREEN
Sportswriter
T he race for the national cham
pionship starts this weekend
at the annual Iron Bowl be
tween Alabama and Auburn.
Nebraska or Penn State are the
two teams getting the consideration
that goes to teams worthy of such
praise while a lowly team from the
South has gone quietly undefeated.
This weekend fourth-ranked Al
abama is starting the murderous
part of its schedule that should
give them a national title if they
are successful.
The Crimson Tide have played
practically no one significant going
into last week’s game with the Mis
sissippi State Bulldogs. This is not
the part that deserves attention.
Last week’s win over the ranked
Bulldogs in Starkville has started
something that could be the feat of
the season that no team can match.
This week’s game versus sixth-
ranked Auburn in Birmingham, the
conference title game versus third-
ranked Florida in December and the
Sugar Bowl in New Orleans versus
another top-ranked team will mark
three games against top ten teams at
neutral sites. No one else can match
that. Throw in Alabama’s win over
Mississippi State, and it could be four
wins over four ranked opponents.
With the argument that today’s
teams need to go through a playoff
to determine a national champion,
this set of victories would meet the
criteria. The Tide will have beaten
the top teams at neutral sites and
in successive games.
Now Nebraska, if they win out
(and they probably will), will have
victories over the Colorado Buf-
1 faloes, Kansas State and Washing-
j ton. Those victories were spread
[ out over the season and only one
was on the road. The Comhuskers’
Orange Bowl match up with the Mi
ami Hurricane does deserve merit,
but it just isn’t the same.
Penn State is another undefeated
team that is feeding off a perfect
record against a schedule with qual
ity teams but none that stand out.
Michigan, probably the biggest win
of the season, looks less glamorous
considering the Wolverines are los
ing left and right. Their bowl game
looks like a war with the Ducks of
Oregon. No Disney finish in that
game, I can assure you.
Will the Tide go undefeated? I
won’t rule a Gene Stallings’ coached
team out. Remember what they did
to that heavily-favored Miami team
in the Sugar Bowl two years ago.
The team has a strong defense that
is as good as any in the nation.
They also posess senior quarterback
Jay Barker. Barker is not a great
quarterback, but his 31-1-1 record
as a starter proves he is a winner.
Alabama also has running back
Sherman Williams. Not another
huge name, but the Crimson Tide
are 20-0 when he scores a touch
down and 11-0 when Williams rush
es for over 100 yards.
So if Alabama goes undefeated the
rest of the way (and that is a big “if”)
we should have a new number one.
’95 seniors to play last home game
Blake Griggs/THE Battalion
Senior cornerback Billy Mitchell returns a interception for a score
against Texas Tech. The Aggies play TCU Saturday at Kyle Field.
Undefeaten season possible
By David Winder
The Battalion
Senior safety Michael Hendricks does not have time to
look back over his career at Texas A&M. Right now, he is too
busy preparing for his last game against Texas Christian.
“This game is a very special one,” Hendricks said. “I
think this game marks a lot of hard work that has put
in over the last four years.”
The game also marks the end of the most successful
era in A&M history.-The 1995 seniors have won three
Southwest Conference titles and if it had not been for
NCAA probation would have already clinched a fourth.
They have never lost at Kyle Field, winning 23 con
secutive games. A&M’s 41-5-1 record over the last four
years trails only Alabama (43-4-1) and Florida State
(42-5). A win this Saturday would give the Aggies the
winningest class in SWC history.
Senior running back Rodney Thomas said Texas
A&M has been successful because they play as a team.
“You’ve got so many people gunning for you,”
Thomas said. “It’s all about chemistry and making it
work together. In athletics, there are hills and valleys
and as a team you’ve got to overcome it.”
Senior linebacker Antonio Armstrong said the feel
ing before Saturday’s game is different than most.
“It’s like closing another chapter in your life,” Arm
strong said. “To win our last game would mean a lot to
us and that’s what we would like to do. It would be a
shame to leave on a sour note.”
A win against TCU would add yet another notch on
the 1995 Aggies’ belt. A victory would give A&M its
first undefeated season since 1956.
“We’ve done a lot of good for this program, not just
winning,” Thomas said. “I’m just proud we can finish
up on a good note.”
Hendricks said that he can not put all of the 1995
seniors’ accomplishments into perspective.
“I haven’t taken time out to think about it,” Hen
dricks said. “Later in life we’ll look back at this and
say ‘Wow! We really did something.’”
Lady Aggies compete for SWC championship
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
After nearly winning the Southwest
Conference title last year and making
the NCAA tournament, one might be
surprised to hear that the Texas A&M
women’s volleyball team is extremely
pleased with their third-seed position
going into this year’s tournament.
“We’re riding a big wave of momen
tum right now,” head coach Laurie
Corbelli said. “We are playing at are
our peak, and (the team) is very posi
tive and confident.”
After earning the tournament’s sec
ond seed last season and receiving a
first round bye, the Lady Aggies were
defeated by third seeded Houston in
the second round.
“We need to play as hard as we can,”
junior setter Suzy Wente said. “Last
year we had lots of seniors, and we
were pretty confident. This time we
know we have to work harder.”
The Lady Aggies, 16-11 overall and 6-4
in the SWC, will take on Rice University
in the first round of the Southwest Con
ference Tournament Friday. The Owls
are the host team of the entire tourna
ment, with all matches taking place at
Autry Court on the Rice campus.
Corbelli said the middle attack is be
coming a much stronger part of the
Lady Aggies’ game, thus opening up the
outside. Reaping the benefits of im
proved play in the middle is senior out
side hitter Jennifer Bronner.
“Over the past couple of weeks, Jen
nifer has been unstoppable,” Gorbelli
said. “She is our MVP.”
After averaging 4.4 kills per game
last week, and posting a strong .360
hitting percentage, Bronner was
named the SWC Player of the Week
for the second time this season. Her
match-high 21 kills against the Uni
versity of Houston November 9
helped the Lady Aggies upset the
17th-ranked Lady Cougars.
Wente has continued to be a major
contribution to the Lady Aggies’ effort.
Corbelli said. The San Antonio Clark
product is on pace to break A&M’s all-
time career assist record in only her
third season. Wente, who set A&M’s
single season assist record last year
with 1,554, needs only 65 assists to be
come the school’s career leader.
“We’re playing together as. a team
right now,” Wente said. “That makes
us more enthusiastic, and everything
seems to have fallen into place.”
Wente said the team needs to contin
ue doing the things it has done all sea
son to be successful this weekend.
With four consecutive victories al
ready, a win over Rice would give the
team its longest winning streak of the
season.
Corbelli said this year’s team does
not feel the pressure that last year’s
NCAA qualifying squad did.
“Last year we felt like we had to
perform,” Corbelli said. “This (win
ning the tournament) is a goal. We’ll
see how things go,the first contact
should determine how we will do.”
Golden State
trades Webber
OAKLAND (AP) — The Golden
State Warriors traded Chris Webber
to the Washington Bullets for Tom
Gugliotta and three first-round
draft picks Thursday.
The move came hours after the
Bullets had signed first-round
draft pick Juwan Howard, who
teamed with Webber to lead Michi
gan to the NCAA championship
game in 1992 and 1993.
And it came one day after the
Warriors re-signed Webber, who
exercised his option to terminate a
15-year, $74 million contract in the
offseason and became a free agent.
The Warriors had to sign Webber
to trade him.
The Warriors will get the Bul
lets’ first-round draft picks in
1996, 1998 and 2000.
Webber was the NBA rookie of
the year last season, but said he
was unhappy playing for Golden
State coach Don Nelson. Those hard
feelings intensified during the con
tract stalemate when Nelson said
he’d quit if that would help bring
Webber back to the team.
That remark angered Webber,
who felt it was an attempt to turn
public opinion against him.
The 6-foot-10 forward averaged
17.5 points and 9H rebounds and
shot 55 percent from the field last
season. The contract he signed
Wednesday night reportedly was
for $73.14 million over 12 years.
Gugliotta has averaged 15.8
points and 9.5 rebounds since join
ing the Bullets as their top draft
pick in 1992.
“It’s devastating,,’ Washington
swingman Calbert Cheaney said
from New Jersey before the Bullets
faced the Nets. “Tom’s a great
friend, a great guy, a great
ballplayer. Losing him is a blow to
us, but we’re getting excellent guys
in return.”
