Call for information: J&S Studies, Inc. 846-5933 or 1-800-681-8204 few weeks ago, I attended a little rock concert at the Texas Motor Speedway in Dallas with some friends, one of whom bears a striking resemblance to a certain cardinal-clad golfer with a nickname usually reserved for admonishing small children. Even in their admittedly inebriated state, at least 20 people happened to inquire as to whether he was indeed the same tee-crusher, who has turned the sporting world on its collective ear. Two years ago, these people probably wouldn’t have given a hoot about golf, much less a phenom like Tiger Woods, who is barely old enough to drink the warm brew of which they were so liber ally partaking. The millions of dollars in endorsements thrown at him by Nike and Titleist now look to be a bargain along the lines of the purchase of Manhattan for a few trinkets. Woods’ four wins in 13 starts this year have turned even the staunchest critic’s head and electrified the sport. If that weren’t enough, Tiger has already won a major, this year’s Masters, and seems to be a serious threat in the future to win golfs most impossible feat, the Grand Slam. The question is not whether or not Woods is good for golf now, as the record attendance and TV audi ence readily answers, but whether he is good for golf in the long run. One needs only look to other sports leagues to see the effects of a dominant player or team. The NBA has become blase save for the brief moment Michael Jordan took a sabbatical to hack at curveballs. Perhaps not as storied as the Bulls have reported ly become, but no less a dominating force for much of the 1990s, Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves have routinely mowed down the National League during the regular season before underachieving in the playoffs. It’s widely known that pitching wins champi onships, whether it be the National League or the World Series, so even if the expanded playoff format affords some .500 club a ray of hope, it can rightly assume the Braves’ four Cy Young-caliber hurlers will draw the blinds. These two forces, a dominant player and equally dominant pitching, have served to make the regular Sportswriter Matt Michell senior journalism major season in both the NBA and the National League largely a moot point. Woods, at the ripe old age of 21, is already widely viewed as the best golferin the world. He has shown the ability towin with less than his best game, and dis played a mental fortitude equal, if not greater, to that of any player on tour. The question is not if he will win another major, but when. In response to Woods’ success, crowds of prepubescent par-seekers have descended upon municipal courses like locusts of biblical proportions, snapping up tee times and swoosh logos by the bunches. IfWoods continues to win, look for this trend to continue as well. But what happens when Woods gets into his thir ties? Will his contin ued success have numbed spectators when his mammoth drives have become commonplace? Some say Americans never tire of success, and surely an athlete of such cross-cultural appeal can continue to be a sort of golf s every- man, the heroic symbol of America's melting pot. But for every' sports legend there has been a nemesis, and arch-foe. The Bulls’ greatness will ultimately be challenged when the subject of trite rivals is broached. Chamberlain had Russell, All had Frazier. Even in the present context of golf, Jack Nicklaus had Arnold Palmer and then Tom Watson. Tiger needs a foil. This could come in the form of golf s previous young gun, South African Ernie Els, who has vied for golf s top ranking with Tiger for much of the year, the 27 year-old's game is technically sound, and he rani plays himself out of tournaments. And while Els lacks Woods’ eye-popping power, his short game is among the best on tour, which could prove to be Woods’ Achilles heel. It’s a heel that should be exposed if golf want to continue to capitalize on Woods’ popularity. Even a legend must have mortal moments. Let’s just hope his peers are up to the challenge. othJ ll fifl I I Now on The Battalion’s web page A 24-hour, multimedia news service for the Internet from The Associated Press • A comprehensive, up-to-the-minute news report combioing the latest AP stories with photos, graphics, sound and video. ■ Headlines and bulletins delivered as soon as news breaks. http://bat-web. tamu.edu Rodman loses wrestling debut Chicago Bulls bad boy puts on a show for pay-per-view body slams and headlocks in NEW! Local Radio News from the newsroom of campus and community news 8:04 a.m. Monday through Friday during NPR Morning Edition on KAMU-FM 90.9 College Station / Bryan DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chicago Bulls bad boy Dennis Rodman, who was suspended by the NBA for head-butting a referee and stomping a courtside photog rapher, put those moves to use Sunday in his debut as a profes sional wrestler. However, Rodman and his tag- team partner, Hulk Hogan, lost to Lex Luger and Giant, who stands 7- foot-4 and 450 pounds, in the World Championship Wrestling match. The 25-minute bout ended after Luger got Hogan in a “torture rack’’ submission hold above his head. “I feel great,” Rodman said after the fight. Rodman, wearing glitter, rouge and stripes on his face and black nail polish, posed for pictures with Hogan before the match. “It ain’t about being big or strong. It’s about having it in the head,” Rodman said. “I’m not one-dimensional.” Unlike the NBA, the only rules were no biting, no eye gouging and no throwing wrestlers past the first row of spectators. The match was being aired on pay-per-view television. “Rodman’s going to be great,” Hogan said before the match. “He has to make a real good show tonight because everyone is watching him.” The Dallas-born Rodman joins the Green Bay Packers’ Reggie White as a professional athlete trying a second career of Rodman the ring. Rodman should be able to hold his own because he’s an excellent athlete, said Alan Sharp, a WCW spokesman. “He bumps and grinds with the biggest monsters in the NBA. Let's see what he can do with the boys in the WCW,” Sharp said. Rodman has been training for the match since the Bulls won their fifth NBA championship in seven years last month. Hogan said he didn’t expect Rodman to become a permanent face on the wrestling circuit but he wouldn’t be averse to fighting with him again. “The bottom line is if he takes it to another level, I’ll hold onto his pantyhose,” Hogan said. “It’s entertainment. That’s what this is about.” Rangers, Mariners set strikout record SEATTLE (AP) — Randy Johnson got his share of strikeouts, and there were a lot more of them, too. When the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners got through swinging Sunday, they a major-league record 31 strikeouts for a nine-inning game. And the Rangers finally solved their inability to beat the Mariners, winning 4-2 with two runs in the ninth. Johnson struck out 14 and Bobby Ayala four as Texas tied its record for strikeouts in a game, last done Sept. 27, 1992. Bobby Witt (nine), Dan Patterson (two) and John Wetteland (two) combined to fan 13 Mariners. Witt's nine strikeouts were the most by a Rangers pitcher this year. When Wettleland fanned Rob Ducey to end the game, that broke the previous strikeout record of30, set by Seattle (18) and Oakland April 19, 1986. Oakland’s Jose Rijo had 16 and Seattle’s Mari Langston five in that game.
