Aggie Football a year-round
job for players and coaches
By Ross Hecox
The Battalion
The NCAA college football
season spans a short four-
month period every year. Most
teams play 11 or 12 games a
season, and their fans can only
see them play at home just six
dates a year.
This is no different for the
A&M football program. But
contrary to appearance, those
involved do not just work from
the end of the summer to the
start of the new year.
As Aggie coaches, players
and officials can attest, foot
ball is a year-round sport.
Associate Athletic Director
Tim Cassidy said, due to
A&M’s commitment to playing
in the Pigskin Classic in Au
gust, this summer has been
busier than most for the Aggie
coaching staff.
“Because of the Brigham
Young (BYU) game, every
thing’s been moved up a cou
ple of weeks,” Cassidy said.
“We are working on recruiting
and preparing for BYU, as
well as preparing the two-a-
day schedule.”
If not preparing for the up
coming season during the
summer months, the Aggie
coaches conduct youth instruc
tional camps on the A&M cam
pus or elsewhere in the state.
Last weekend, for instance,
the A&M coaches traveled to a
football camp in San Angelo
where many high school and mid
dle school students were taught
how to improve their skills.
A&M Defensive Coordinator
Phil Bennett said running and
attending camps aids the pro
gram’s recruiting cause.
“You seem to find out more
about recruits when you’re in
a relaxed environment like
that,” Bennett said. “You build
up a relationship and get them
familiar with A&M. It’s also a
lot of fun for us.”
The A&M coaches also go to
football clinics, where Defen
sive Line Coach Bill Johnson
said they share ideas, philoso
phies and practice routines
with other high school coaches.
When the coaching staff is
not traveling somewhere to at
tend a clinic or camp, it runs
all-day meetings setting the
two-a-day summer workout
schedule or prepares for the
the Aug. 24 BYU contest.
“We are trying to concen
trate on the fact that we are
Pat James, The Battalios
Associate Athletic Director of Operations Tim Cassidy has not had
much time to soak up rays during Aggie Football's hectic off-season,
starting so early against
BYU,” Bennett said. “We have
broken down every game they
played last year. They’re a
good football team.”
Although NCAA regulations
state that schools cannot have
mandatory practices for their
players until the start of sum
mer two-a-days, Bennett said
many Aggie players return
and work out voluntarily.
“(Close to) 70 players are
here actively working out this
summer,” Bennett said.
Despite the many tasks the
coaching staff must accom
plish this summer, Johnson
said the atmosphere is relaxed
compared to the pressures of
the regular season.
“A little bit of everything is
done (during the summer),”
Johnson said. “But the best
thing about the summer is the
deadlines and time demands
aren’t as bad.”
Cassidy said the staffs
schedule is radically different
during the summer.
“There’s not the pressure of
getting ready for a game 1
every week,” Cassidy said.
“Now we’re basically goinj
from 8 to 5 instead of working
from 6 a.m. until the wee
hours of the night.”
“(During the season) we
are constantly asking our
selves, ‘Are we forgetting
something?”’ Bennett said
“Everything is at a mud
faster pace.”
Later this summer ever;
coach will get three weeks c
vacation. Bennett, who plar
to go to Florida with-his fain
ly, said even there he wil
probably not be able to gf
work out of his system.
“I’ll still be thinking aboi
football,” Bennett said.

Rangers continue mastery of Orioles
BALTIMORE (AP) — The
Texas Rangers got the only run
they needed 15 minutes into the
game. More than four hours lat
er, they finally got to celebrate
yet another victory over the Bal
timore Orioles.
The Rangers hit five home
runs, including four off Kent
Mercker in the first three in
nings, and Darren Oliver limited
Baltimore to five singles in a 7-0
rain-delayed win Tuesday night.
Oliver went seven innings
and Dennis Cook completed the
first shutout against the Orioles
this season.
Texas is 7-1 against Balti
more this year after losing four
of five to the Orioles in 1995.
A heavy rainshower stopped
the game with two outs in the
top of the eighth and the score
7-0. Play finally resumed short
ly before midnight after a stop
page of 2 hours, 3 minutes.
By that time, there were only
around 250 fans remaining from
the sellout crowd of 47,318.
“Why wait two hours?” said
Oliver, who did not return after
the delay. “I’m sure if the situa
tion would have been reversed
and they were up by seven runs,
they would have called it. What
can you say? Homefield advan
tage, I guess.”
Juan Gonza
lez had a two-
run homer in
the first inning
and Rene Gon
zales and Kevin
Elster added
solo shots in the
second.
Dean Palmer
made it 6-0
with a two-run
drive in the GONZALEZ
third, and Da
mon Buford led off the fourth
with a home run off Jimmy
Haynes.
That was more than enough
offense for Oliver (6-2), who
struck out four and walked two.
The rain delay spoiled his bid
for his second career complete
game and shutout.
Oliver allowed only one run
ner past second base. The left
hander is 3-0 with a 1.41 ER 1
in his last five starts.
‘‘We looked for Darren ti
throw well once, twice ... It
seems like now he’s gettinf
pretty good at it,” Texas manag
er Johnny Oates said.
The four home runs allowed
was a career-high by Mercker
(3-6). Mercker, 1-5 since April
24, had his ERA climb to 7.4d
after yielding six runs in
three innings.
“Obviously, Kent didn’t have
too much out there today,” man
ager Davey Johnson said. “It was
a rough outing for him. The last
two times out he didn’t throw
nearly as well as he did before.”
Gonzalez gave Texas a 2-0
lead with his 12th home run of
the season — the second in two
nights and fourth in nine games.
Gonzales hit his second and El
ster tagged his 12th in the second
inning to make it 4-0.
A walk to Gonzalez preceded
Palmer’s 16th homer, a shot
into the left-field seats.
Buford greeted Haynes with
his third home run of the year,
