Aggie great gives back at camp
□ Bucky Richardson's Football
Camp is being held in Brenham.
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
In the past, he was the straw that stirred
the Texas A&M football team’s offense,
weaving and dodging, throwing on the run
or scrambling for a first down.
In the future, namely September, he
may be the starting quarterback for the
Houston Oilers, maneuvering his way
through opposing defenses while the coach
ing staff in Houston grooms Steve McNair
as the team’s savior.
But for now, Bucky Richardson is content
with teaching children the fundamentals of
football at his annual football camp.
“This is just fun, it’s nice to try and get a
bunch of kids together,” Richardson said.
“It’s also nice for them to get away from
Mom and Dad for a few days.”
Richardson, who will begin his fourth
year with the Oilers in early August, is over
seeing the camp that started Sunday and
runs through Wednesday on the Blinn Col
lege campus in Brenham. He is being assist
ed by several of Blinn’s coaches and football
players, some of which were surprised at
how much fun they had with the children.
“It was fun seeing all the kids out here,”
Blinn sophomore defensive tackle Demond
Brady said.
Richardson said he still keeps close
tabs on A&M athletics while playing for
the Oilers.
“I think the Big 12 Conference will be
great for A&M, and for Tech and Texas and
Baylor as well,” Richardson said. “There was
always a problem with the Southwest Con
ference getting respect, but now they are en
tering a good situation.”
Despite his high expectations for the
Big 12, Richardson said he will miss the
SWC action.
“It is sad, but college football has changed
a lot over the last few years,” Richardson
said. “TV had a lot to do with that change.”
In his time at A&M, Richardson was on
two SWC championship teams,and was
named Most Valuable Player in the Aggies’
35-10 thrashing of Notre Dame in the 1988
Cotton Bowl. A knee injury forced him to
miss the entire 1989 season, but he re
gained the starting quarterback job during
the 1990 season.
In his senior season, A&M went to the
Cotton Bowl again, losing to Florida State,
10-2. In his career, he rushed for 2,095 yards
— the most ever by a SWC quarterback.
Drafted in the eighth round of the 1992
NFL draft by the Oilers, Richardson moved
from third string behind Warren Moon and
Cody Carlson to spot starter last season.
He owns a 1-1 record as a starter, losing
to the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 and defeating
the New York Jets 24-10 in the Oilers’ sea
son finale.

Pavin breaks through with win in
US Open
□ The champion shot a
68 in the final round to
take the title.
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP)
— Corey Pavin, until now the
best player on tour without a
major championship, won the
U.S. Open with a closing round
68 on Sunday as Greg Norman
once again came up short in the
big one.
Playing the last 10 holes
three under par and the last 15
without a bogey, Pavin finished
72 holes at 280, the only player
to match par over a punishing
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
He was two strokes ahead of
Norman, who shot a final-round
73, and three better than Tom
Lehman.
Pavin, next to the last in the
Open field in driving distance,
won it with steady, accurate play
over the rolling fairways of Shin
necock, avoiding the penalizing
rough that claimed so many oth
er players. He also stroked in a
series of huge putts, perhaps
none bigger than a 6-foot par
save on No. 17.
He closed it out with a bold,
brilliant 4-wood to the closely
guarded 18th green. Pavin broke
into a jog as the ball bounded
onto the green and rolled toward
to flag.
“I was very anxious to see
that one,” Pavin said. “I knew
when I hit it was going to be
pretty close.”
As it came to a rest 6 feet
from the pin, he dropped to a
crouch, closed his eyes and let
loose a huge exhale. He missed
the birdie putt that would have
wrapped it up, then waited for
Norman to finish.
“It probably was the most
pressure I’ve ever felt,” Pavin
said of the shot to 18.
Norman lost his last chance
on No. 17 when he hit the sand
trap on the par-3, blasted short
and missed the putt for par to
fall two behind.
"I had faith that it would
happen."
— Corey Pavin
U.S. Open Champion
eighth in 1991.
With 12 victories on the PGA
Tour, the 35-year-old Pavin had
the most wins of anyone current
ly on tour without a major cham
pionship. He will wear that label
no longer.
“I had faith that it would hap
pen,” Pavin said about finally
winning a majors. “I got tired of
hearing the question. It wears
<■■■■■ on you.”
“Welcome to the club,”
Norman told Pavin, pat
ting him on the back out
side the clubhouse.
Norman, meanwhile,

It was Pavin’s first victory in
a major championship after fin
ishing second once in the PGA,
third in the Masters and fourth
in the British Open. His previ
ous best in the U.S. Open was
wears an ev
burden of failure in the major
championships. This was his
sixth second-place finish in a
major.
He’s lost all four major cham
pionships in playoffs — the U.S.

strikes out
orry, baby, this is
your last chance.
And I’m not talking
about one of those Steve
Howe-baseball kind of last
chances, either.”
Lt. Frank Drebin
“The Naked Gun
331/3: The Final Insult”
On Sunday, Darryl Straw
berry got one of those Steve
Howe-baseball last chances
when he signed a contract
with the New York Yankees.
It is Strawberry’s fourth
team in five seasons, and his
second directly due to drug
abuse. As a Yankee, Straw
berry will become teammates
with Howe, who has been
suspended from baseball
nine times for testing posi
tive to illegal substances.
Obviously, there is a flaw
in baseball’s drug abuse poli
cy. In most school systems,
once you get suspended more
than once, you’re pretty
much out of there. At most
companies that have drug
policies, testing positive
means kissing the employee
dental plan goodbye.
Yet Howe, blessed with a
wicked fastball, has been giv
en reprieve after reprieve by
the league, each time swear
ing he’s off the cocaine and
completely rehabilitated. He
was instrumental in the Los
Angeles Dodgers World
Championship year of 1981,
and he has been the Yankees’
ace reliever for the past cou
ple of years.
