Adams inks Nashville deal
□ If all stipulations are
met, the Houston Oil
ers will move in 1998.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
While Houston Oilers owner Bud
Adams signed a deal Thursday
to move his team here by 1998,
his general manager was in
Memphis checking out the possi
bility of playing there next fall.
The 50-page document that
lays out the $292 million deal in
cludes a provision that the city
will help find an interim stadi
um if the Oilers buy out the two
years remaining on their As
trodome lease.
“As a lame duck team, I
would hope we could work some
thing out,” Adams said after the
signing ceremony at Nashville’s
Metro Courthouse.
He said Memphis and its Lib
erty Bowl Memorial Stadium,
where the team has played two
preseason games, would be his
preferred site, and that Oilers
GM Floyd Reese was heading
there. Adams said he has not
talked to Astrodome officials
about breaking the lease.
“This is all exploratory,” said
Pepper Rodgers, general manag
ing partner of the CFL’s Mem
phis Mad Dogs, who would have
to allow the Oilers to play at the
Liberty Bowl.
“Floyd and I talked. He said
he was coming incognito and
then Bud spilled it on TV. I’ll
have to call Bud up and say this
is not the way it’s done,” Rodgers
said by telephone, chuckling.
The NFL said it is evaluat
ing the proposed move and that
commissioner Paul Tagliabue
would make a full written re
port to the league membership
after completing his review of
the situation.
Adams spent several minutes
during the ceremon3^ talking
about his loyalty and what he
considers to be “binding.”
His true intentions regarding
Nashville had been questioned
because of a 1987 flirtation with
relocation to Florida that result
ed in a $70 million improve
ment to the Astrodome.
Last year, Adams asked
Houston to build him a stadi
um, but the mayor refused to
use taxpayer money.
Under the deal with
Nashville, the city will build a
65,000-seat open-air stadium,
and Nashville Mayor Phil Bre-
desen said it will be done with
out raising taxes.
Adams said he has lived in
Houston 50 years, including
more than 44 in the same
house. Most of his employees
have been with him at least a
decade and the Oilers have been
in that city for 36 years.
“My proudest accomplish
ment is that I have kissed the
same woman every night for
49 years. I won’t say it’s a
record, but it’s quite a while,”
Adams said.
“When Bud Adams tells you
we will come, if you live up to
your end of the bargain, that’s
binding.”
Bredesen, a millionaire busi
nessman, said the Oilers orga
nization is one of few where the
people are so reliable.
■ “Bud Adams is somebody
who I trust,” Bredesen said. “He
has done everything he said he
would do in this process.”
This is the second proposed
franchise shift in less than two
weeks. On Nov. 6, Browns own
er Art Modell signed a deal to
move his team from Cleveland
to Baltimore.
Two other teams relocates
before this season — the Rank
from Los Angeles to St. Louis;
and the Raiders from Los Ange
les to Oakland.
The NFL shuffle made man;
Nashvillians nervous that
Adams might leave soon after^
moving here.
But Bredesen said he would]
face substantial penalties, in-fl
eluding the threat of an injunc
tion and financial responsibilityi;
for the stadium bonds, if'|e|l
tries to leave before the 30-year|Pi
agreement ends.
NFL on the move
Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams signed a deal to move his team to
Nashville beginning in 1998, becoming the fourth NFL team to relocate in
1995. The Oilers have played in Houston since 1960.

franchise moves:

Virtual Ags win vs.
scab” team, 70-38
Horry hunts down Bucks |
4 4
□ Kyle Bryant nailed 10
straight extra points.
Bizarre, truly bizarre.
That is the only description
that can truly encompass the
course of events that the virtual
Aggies took this week as the Mid
dle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
underwent a hellish attempt to
make it to College Station
They never showed up, acci
dentally buying airline tickets
from defunct Braniff Airlines.
In a desperate attempt to rec
oncile with R.C. Slocum , Head
Coach Boots Donnelly called his
friend, the coach of the University
of Pacific.
Donnelly convinced Pacific to
take the Blue Raiders’ place at
Kyle Field on Saturday.
The Aggies crashed poor Pacif
ic 70-38, exploding for 719 yards
of total offense while holding UP
to -81 yards rushing.
Nothing on the Aggies’ offense
failed to click during the game.
Senior quarterback Corey Pullig
completed l9-of-40 passes for 509
yards and six touchdowns.
Wide receiver Danny McCray
had another stellar performance
with nine catches for 316 yards.
Virtual tailback Leeland
McElroy continued his runaway
quest for the Heisman Trophy,
compiling 193 yards on a mere
10 carries.
The Aggies’ “Wrecking Crew”
defense, despite giving up 38
points recorded 10 sacks and
broke up eight passes.
As usual, placekicker Kyle
Bryant was exceptional — nailing
10 extra points to run his consec
utive made streak to 47.
A&M remained No. 2 in the
nation with the win . Two wins
left separate the team from its ul
timate dream — a match-up with
the Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl
... for the national championship.
□ The Rockets' small
forward scored a ca
reer-high 40 points in
cluding eight 3-pointers.
MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Robert Horry made up for
Clyde Drexler’s absence with a
career-high 40 points in the
Houston Rockets’ 115-87 rout of
the Milwaukee Bucks on Thurs
day night.
One night after' giving Hous
ton a 96-93 victory over Toron
to with a 3-pointer at the
buzzer — his only basket of the
game — Horry hit eight 3-
pointers against the Bucks, in
cluding five in the second half.
One of them, just before the
third-period buzzer, put the
Rockets ahead 94-67.
That basket broke his previ
ous career high of 30 points, set
against Sacramento on April
14, 1994.
Horry was 16-of-26 one night
after a l-for-5 shooting perfor
mance. His eighth 3-pointer
gave the Rockets a 107-82 lead
with six minutes left.
Hakeem Olajuwon added 24
points and 12 rebounds as 1
Houston won its fourthconsecu- ^
tive game. L
Mario Elie had 14 points JL
while starting in place of
Drexler, who sat out with a
bruised and swollen right knee,
which he banged Wednesday L
night against the Raptors ^
Drexler is averaging 17.5
points, 5.7 rebounds and five
assists this season.
Glenn Robinson led the
Bucks with 24 points.
Eric Murdock added 19 and
Vin Baker had 16 points and 12
rebounds.
Olajuwon and Horry each p
had 19 points in the first half, U
when the Rockets turned over Jllt
the ball just once on their way .
to a 61-44 lead. Ia&,
Olajuwon scored 11 and Hor
ry added 10 in a 21-6 first- r A ec
quarter run.
Horry broke open the game
early by scoring five points in
an 11-0 run that gave Houston
a 38-26 lead just four minutes
into the second period.
The Bucks never got closer
than seven points after that.

Lady Ag practice brings up “glory days
V
A s I walked on to the
basketball court at G.
Rollie White Coliseum
earlier this week to do some
interviews with the women’s
basketball team, I was greet
ed by that familiar smell.
You know, that old gym
smell that always manages to
conjure up memories of my
own basketball “glory” days
(high school, of course).
And as I stood there and
watched the players warm up,
1 realized how much I miss
playing the game.
So I viewed the team prac
tice for a while, and the con
stant thump of the ball bounc
ing on the hard wood floor
took me off into a daydream.
, There I was on the court
shooting around knowing at
any minute the whistle would
blow to start practice, and the
running would begin.
Then I was seeing the hard
wood while running the ball
down on a fast break.
I shot. I scored. I was there
on defense making the blocks
and rebounds.
We had won and once again
I was the high scorer for the
team.
Unfortunately, there is not
much credit to be gained at
the junior varsity level.
Even more unfortunate is
the fact that my basketball
“career” peaked when I was a
sophomore. .
In fact, after my sophomore
year my basketball “career”
consisted of sitting on the
bench and hearing “Nance —
Nance (there were two of us, I
have a twin sister who was
just as bad as I was) get in
there!” with eight seconds left
in the game.
I could feel my face turn
red with humiliation as I
stood there and pleaded with
my coach: “Please don’t make
me go in, I don’t want to go in
(My feeling was that I’d
rather not play at all than go
in for eight seconds.)
“Hey you! Do you mind get
ting out of our way?
And where is it that you
don’t want to go?”
I was brought back to reali
ty by Lisa Branch. It seems
like I was in the way of some
drill the team was wanting to
run.

As I walked off the court, I
was suddenly 7 relieved thatl
had only been daydreaming,
and I realized that maybe I
don’t miss the game as much
as I thought.
