That’s right, it’s time for another pay-per-view Saturday for faithful Aggie fans. I don’t know if anyone has no ticed, but the Aggie Football Team aren’t exactly having the best sea son this year. Why should we just have this rubbed in our faces by the cable company charging us exorbitant sums to watch the away games?It may have been somewhat justified for the Tech game. Our reputation as a football team, such as it is, and our fading national championship hopes were pinned on that game. I could under stand pay-per-view privileges for the Cotton Bowl or even the A&M- t.u. game. Those games offer the rivalry and “big-game” atmosphere that would be worthy of the $19.95 fee, maybe. But the “rivalry” between Baylor and A&M just isn’t worth it. It should be obvious that stu dents don’t have the time or the money to be travel to every away game. It is just as well, though, since the opposing schools never send enough student tickets anyway. It’s also interesting to note that when the Aggies play the Universi ty of Houston and Middle Ten nessee State at Kyle Field, those games will be on the pay channel, too. There seem to be no limits to the greediness of those in charge. By doing some simple math, you can see the four games that will be shown on pay-per-view will cost in excess of $80. They will probably say that $80 doesn’t sound like such a high sum since students usually get together in big groups to watch the game. But when you add in the ex pense of barbecue and beverages, it can add up to a little more than most students make. The athletic department is no doubt profiting from this little ven ture with the cable company, as if the ticket price increase from two years ago, the high-priced merchan dise we inevitably buy or the little Nike symbols on the players’ jer seys are not enough. The sad thing about this “Great Cable Debate” is that there is no one to debate it with. These decisions seem to be made without any input from the parties that will be affected the most, namely the students. I find it offensive that we are be ing penalized just to put a few more dollars in the pocket of the athletic department. There seems to be something wrong when I have to think about getting a second job just so I can pay to watch my team play football. j Bailey was released the Redskins this wed IRVING (AP) — TheDal; Cowboys on Thursday % free agent defensive in Robert Bailey and releas linebacker Reggie Barnes make room on the roster.

In perhaps the most perfect perfor mance ever by a football team, the virtu al Texas A&M Aggies crushed the Baylor Bears 110-16 like Roseanne sitting on a Styrofoam cooler. Virtually no Aggie single-game record went unbroken during the game as the offense broke out of its scoring woes and the defense made Bears an endangered species in the Waco area. When it was all said and done, the Ag gies had outgained the Bears 951-174. Baylor, with its talented running backs including Jerod Douglas and Kalief Muhammad, was held to a pathetic -19 yards rushing. The offense was spearheaded by senior quarterback Corey Pullig, who silenced all possible critics for years to come with the single-greatest passing performance in club history. Pullig completed 22-of-32 passes for 664 yards and eight touchdowns. The yardage and the touchdown passes are both new A&M records. Perhaps the only performance more amazing than Fkillig’s was turned in by senior wide receiver Danny McCray. Forever labeled as a track player in cleats, McCray quite simply turned in the greatest receiving performance in NCAA history, catching 17 passes for 564 yards and seven touchdowns. The previous A&M record for receiving yards in a game was 250, the touchdown mark was a pitiful three. Leeland McElroy’s return to the lineup was virtually overlooked by Fhillig and McCray’s unbelievable days. McElroy was very noticeable to Bay lor’s defensive coordinator however, as he rushed for 262 yards on 15 carries and scored five touchdowns. The Baylor defense really never knew what hit them. As amazing as the A&M offense was, the defense was simply is usual out standing self, constantly forcingth Bears to go three-and-out on offensives: ries, and recovering three fumbles wi sacking Baylor quarterback Jamie son three times and breaking up eigi passes. The game was well in hand by M time with the Aggies holding a 42 ; lead. But for once, the Aggie coachi: staff showed no mercy on its opponent. The offense continued to spreadtk field, exposing a pathetically-thinBe: secondary for big yardage. With the fourth quarter beginnini A&M led 63-10 and it became obviot that the players wanted a shotattki 100-point barrier. Again, the coaching staff respond: uncharacteristically, telling the fo team to retake the field and “go for it.' Go for they did, thrice recovering side kicks after touchdowns and scori’J nearly at will. With 1:51 left in the fourth quart:! Pullig hit McCray on a 16-yard score strike and the scoreboard flashed IOC They went on to score 10 more points, COLLEGE STATION V1D£° BUY SELLTRADE HOLIDAY INN 1503 S.
