/Vggies not taking North Texas lightly
By Jeff Webb
Staff writer
With a high-powered offense that
sads the nation in scoring, Texas
&M would seem to be unstoppable
eading into their meeting with the
Iniversity of North Texas Saturday at
Texas Stadium.
But how
much do these
statistics mean
to Aggie quarter
back Branndon
Stewart?
“I don’t think
those things
[statistics] are
really indicators
until the end of
the season,”
s covered tewart said. ‘‘After you’ve experi-
the Chris- n ced all the football games you’re
stweekie 3 j n g to for that season, then you
lent. Tlie jnlook at your stats and say this is
good offense.”
Despite the scoring, it has been

the Aggie defense that has impressed
the North Texas Mean Green. In their
last four meetings, UNT has man
aged only eight points and was
shutout 55-0 last year. This year,
North Texas hopes to improve on the
paltry -10 yards rushing and 70 yards
of total offense put up last year in
College Station.
The surprising UNT team beat
Texas Tech in Lubbock last week,
30-27 to even their record at 2-2.
Aggie Coach R.C. Slocum was
pleased with the result because this
forces the Aggies to concentrate on
this week and not look ahead to the
Oct. 4 showdown with the Colorado
Buffaloes.
“No question that’s a positive thing
for us. Our players have a lot of respect
for Texas Tech and playing in Lub
bock. When you watch the tape, it’s
not one of those fluke deals that you
can rationalize away,” said Slocum.
On offense, UNT likes to show
many different looks. Running back
Hut Allred, who had 65 yards and 2
touchdowns last week, provides the
bulk of the rushing attack. Big West
Offensive Player of the Week Jason
Mills threw for 147 yards and 2
touchdowns last week.
The Wrecking Crew defense will be
tested by a UNT attack that features
pass-happy one-back and no-back of
fensive sets. Defensive end Brad
Crowley said he feels that UNT pro
vides the best test yet for the Aggies.
“They’re three times better than
USL and by far the best team we’ve
played so far,” said Crowley. “We can’t
afford to overlook them right now.”
Stewartsaid the Mean Green de
fense will provide a challenge for
the Aggies.
“They have a solid defense,
they’re physical and they like to
show different fronts.”
Defensively, the stable of UNT
linebackers figures to confuse the
Aggies and take away the under
neath passing game.
Linebacker Benny Cherry, who
won the Big West Defensive Player of
the Week, had 17 tackles, one sack,
and two passes broken up last week.
He has a team-high 50 tackles after
four games. Linebacker Ron Boston
provides a nice compliment to Cher
ry with 31 tackles on the season.
UNT stayed healthy last week
while freshman linebacker Roylin
Bradley (ankle) and sophomore
running back Jason Bragg (knee)
are out for the Aggies.

This weekend the third-ranked Texas A&M Soccer
Team (8-0) will be seeking more than the nation’s high
est ranking at the Adidas Classic in Houston. They will
be seeking respect.
The Aggies will face Big 12 conference foe Okla
homa State and top ranked North Carolina in two
high-pressure games.
“This weekend’s game against North Carolina is for
nothing more than pure pride and bragging rights,
which of course means a lot to most humans,” Coach G.
Guerrieri said. “If we want to win the national champi
onship we will have to beat North Carolina eventually,
but not this weekend. That won’t come until November.
“We are happy right now to be recognized as third,
but this is a great opportunity for us to prove that we
can be looked at as the very best.”
In their two prior meetings in 1994 and 1996, the
Tarheels defeated the Aggies by a combined score of 7-0,
blanking the Aggies twice.
“We’re not expected to beat North Carolina,” Guerri
eri said. “If Vegas had odds they would be 100-1 against
us. That is a credit to the dynasty North Carolina has cre
ated with 14 national championships, an unbelievable

win-loss record, a legendary coach and incredible
amounts of international experience.
“We’ll come in with the wrath of the underdog.”
A&M is coming off two victories against Utah and
Oregon in this past weekend’s Aggie Soccer Classic. Last
weekend in South Bend, North Carolina tied second-
ranked Notre Dame 2-2 in a game many deemed a pre
view to the national championship.
Despite the hype and attention the A&M-North Car
olina match up is getting, the Aggies are keeping their
minds focused on Friday’s match with Oklahoma State.
“The North Carolina game will be a good experience,
but actually the Oklahoma State game is the more im
portant of the two games for us this weekend,” senior
midfielder Bryn Blalack said. “We have to beat OSU if we
want to reach our goal of conference champions.”
The two teams have only met once before with the
Aggies defeating the Cowboys 3-0 last season.
Currently the Aggies are atop the Big 12 conference
standings with a 5-0 conference record, but Baylor and
Texas follow directly behind with 4-1 records.
“The OSU game will be a conference championship
style match. We will be going in with that mentality,”
Guerrieri said. “We want to make it so that we can keep
ourselves going at 100 percent for as long as we possibly
can. That’s something you want to do no matter who you
play. The players are focused for the task at hand.”

On their CD: Ever since I was a kid
My Blood & Maybe I Will
The record reveals the diverse
musical interest of each Protein
member. Josh infuses songs with
his wry sense of humor steeped in
a buoyant reality which speaks of
summer fairs, feathered hair,
juvenile hall and heavy metal.
The band takes Josh's lyrics and
music and collectively arranges
the tunes. The result is Protein's
playful, sardonic sound influenced
by Hank Williams, Pantera, and
Star Wars.

Maypole's CD includes
Going Dutch and Concrete Shoes
Maypole seeks to degrade the pretentiousness of art. "I'm not
the mysticism of o genius, I'm a worker," says Hons. Thus the
album title, Product. Many of the songs play into this same
theme. The album's first single, "Concrete Shoes," uses Hans'
'bombing' technique to juxtapose the plight of the contras
with people's own bitterness. "Return to Sender" mocks the
moral superiority of Bob Dole's infamous statement that rap
music is the nightmare of depravation, by changing it to a
nightmare of your won depravation. "My Window" pokes fun at
the republican poster boy/the ongry white male. Even the
bands name springs from these roots. Maypole comes from the
Russian celebrations that marked Labor Day, the worker's day
off. Maypole is not restricted to "alternative", "indie," or any
other niche market.
