Bowl situation settled, but foggier than ev
(AP) — Notre Dame and Wyoming aren’t go
ing to bowls, even though they wanted to.
Brigham Young and Nebraska are going to bowls,
but not the ones they wanted to. And Florida and
Florida State are going to THE bowl, but they’re
not the teams the fans wanted.
Except those from Florida, of course.
It seems like it wasn’t until the bowl picture
got settled that it got confusing.
“I’m terribly disappointed for Wyoming, espe
cially the student-athletes, coaches and fans,”
WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. “They
were certainly deserving of a bowl game.”
At least Notre Dame, 8-3 and ranked 18th
in the final AP poll, reluctantly chose not to go
after losing to Southern Cal, failing to qualify
for one of the biggies. They’ll stay home for
the first time since 1986.
“At Notre Dame, we expect the best and we
deserve the best,” offensive guard Mike Rosen
thal said, speaking for the majority of his team
mates. “The team agreed that if there wasn’t a
top bowl, there shouldn’t be any bowl.”
Wyoming finished 10-2 and ranked 22nd,
but it lost the WAC title to BYU 28-25 in over
time on Saturday and didn’t get a bid. The
Cowboys would have gone just about any
where if asked.
“It’s no longer for the kids,” Wyoming Ath
letic Director Lee Moon said, admitting that
Wyoming’s problem was it only had 3,500 fans
it could send to a bowl game. And it’s a traves
ty that a team gets excluded simply “because
you can’t generate a large fan base,” he said.
At the same time, BYU had to settle for a
lesser bowl, a matchup with Kansas State in
the non-alliance Cotton Bowl, despite a 13-1
season and No. 5 national ranking.
Four of the alliance teams —Texas, Nebraska,
Virginia Tech and Penn State — are ranked lower
than BYU. BYU and the WAC were so upset they
are still considering legal action.
“At this juncture, a decision has not been
made whether to file any type of claim,” the
WAC commissioner said. “We believe it’s more
important over the course of the next month
to focus on the success of BYU and Utah in
their bowl games and let our bowl partners
conduct games without a cloud of controver
sy. As a result, we will delay the possibility of
any legal action.”
Another WAC team, Utah, is in the low-pro
file Copper Bowl.
At least No. 6 Nebraska remained in a bowl
alliance game, matched against No. 10 Vir
ginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, although a loss
to Texas in the Big 12 championship game
cost the Cornhuskers a shot at a third straight
national championship.
For many, Florida-Florida State is just a re
run, and with No. 2 Arizona State going
against No. 4 Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, it
might not even be for the national title.
In the game of the century two weeks ago,
Florida State beat then-No. 1 Florida 24-21 in
a nail-biter.
“You would think that if you beat No,
ing the regular season, you wouldn’t haij
beat them twice,” Florida State coachft
Bowden said.

tonight despite foot injury
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
Rockets forward Charles Barkley
missed Monday’s workout with a
foot injury, but
expects to play
on Tuesday
against the
Minnesota
Timberwolves.
“Thank God
it’s not a stress
fracture, but
obviously right
now I am in a
lot of pain,”
Barkley
Barkley told Houston television
station KRIV. ‘‘I had a little
problem jumping the past cou
ple of games.”
Barkley said doctors told him
he had a neuroma, a benign tu
mor of nerve tissue that develops
as a result of damage to a nerve.
“The foot thing does concern
me and hopefully it will get bet
ter,” Barkley said before leaving
with the team for Tuesday night’s
game. “The last game I played I
didn’t feel I played with confi
dence. I feel like every time I get
ready to juimp, the next step I
take it’s going to break.”

Dubose to succeed Stallings
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) —
Some 20 years after fulfilling his
dream of playing for Bear Bryant at
Alabama, Mike Dubose got
Bryant’s old job and with it the
pressure of preserving the tra
dition the coaching great
started years ago.
Athletic director Bob
Bockrath announced the
hiring Monday at a news
conference packed with
former players and oth
er alumni, many of
whom pushed for Gene Stallings’
replacement to come from the Al
abama “family.”
Bockr ath said details of Dubose’s
contract have not been worked out.
He said he expected the deal to be
r,pe
at least three years, maybe longer.
Stallings will coach Alabama
through its Jan. I appearance in
the Outback Bowl against
Michigan.
“This is proof that dreams
do come true,” said Dubose,
43, the team’s defensive co
ordinator and a member of
Bryant’s Crimson Tide
teams during 1972-74,
who compiled a 32-4
record.
“I hope every citizen in
the state of Alabama ... that this will
send this message to them: Don’t be
afraid to dream. And don’t be afraid
to dream big. Because if you work
hard and be patient, dreams do
come true.”
HOUSTON (AP) — Frustration,
a condition common to the
Houston Oilers during their re
cent slide, is beginning to show.
The harder they try, the more
mistakes they seem to make, and
that was clear on Sunday as the Oil
ers committed four turnovers and
two critical penalties in a 23-17 loss
to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was the Oilers’
fifth loss in seven
games, and led
emotional cor-
nerback Cris
Dishman,
Oiler for
seasons, to say
he’s had enough.
“For the next
two weeks I’ll be
proud to wear the Houston Oilers
uniform, but after that... I need a
change,” said Dishman, the Oil
ers’ franchise player.
“I don’t intend to be back.
I’m frustrated with everything,
it’s the big picture, the coaches,
players myself, everything. In
order to do what’s right for my
self I need a change.”
Dishman, whose contract ex
pires in the off-season, said he
couldn’t imagine playing for the
Oilers next season.
“If God tapped me on the shoul
der and said ‘You’ve got to stay with
the Houston Oilers,’ Td ask him if I
could retire,” Dishman said.
The Oilers started the year 5-
2, but they’ve gone 2-5 since
then continuing a problem
that’s been around since last
