C The Battalion AMPUS Wednesday • October 22, 1997 Hodge Continued from Page 7 “He’s a big guy,” Marshall said. “He’s got to always continue to watch his weight so he doesn’t get too big ... like a tight end.” This season Hodge has flourished in a more bal anced offense. Contrary to the stereotypical run on third-and-long play calling of years past, Marshall has opted for an equal distribution of the run and pass. As the season progresses, the number of pass plays has in creased. And along with it, so has the increased role of the wideouts. Hodge has caught 11 passes for 163 yards. He surpassed his previ ous career-high long reception with a 41 -yard catch against Iowa State. One of the reasons Hodge has been able to play in every game of his young college career, according to wide receivers coach Steve Kragthorpe, is his ability to play with pain. “What he does is push through some of those nag ging injuries that you get this time of year,” Kragthor pe said, “A muscle tweak, or a bruise. He does a good job of pushing himself and working hard in practice.” In addition to his offensive output, Hodge has es tablished himself as a dependable blocker. Hodge posted a block 30 yards down field against the Cy- Hodge clones, to allow tailback Sirr Parker to cap off an 80- yard run with a touchdown. But Hodge’s versatility comes as no surprise to his coaches. Kragthorpe said Hodge’s physical style of play reminds him of a certain Dallas Cowboy, Pro Bowl receiver. “He reminds me of a Michael Irvin type of guy,” Kragthorpe said. “A big, strong physical receiver, who runs well enough that he can be a legitimate deep threat. And yet does a nice job of using his body to shield defenders.” Fortunately, the comparison between Irvin and Hodge ends there. “What Leroy has is a quiet intensity,” Kragthorpe said. “When I say Michael Irvin I certainly wouldn’t want to put him in the same category of all the off- field troubles. It’s more of a style of play, not a style of expression.” A mild manner Hodge said he agrees with Kragth- orpe’s comparison. “(Big plays) pump me up and drive me, but I’m a quiet guy,” Hodge said. “I do it and I know I did it. I don’t feel I have to show off.” Since Hodge does not have the egotistical, show- boat type personality, does it mean Aggie hoop en thusiasts will be deprived of seeing him don a basket ball jersey. “It’s possible, but I just want to focus and put my all into one thing,” Hodge said. “I’ve though about (calling A&M Basketball Coach Tony Barone), but not for now.” Mail Call Continued from Page 9 Second, whenever the Universi ty donates $1000 to bonfire, let a university official come to stack and paint over two offensive say ings. This will be well regarded, be cause the money could be used for new axes, gas, pot subsidies, etc. However, while the University takes credit for bonfire without giving a dime to the cause - and while Mandy has still not received a single blister from cutting - let them keep their mouths shut Mike Schultz Class of '98 content of grode stories. Meant to be motivational, grode stories have extended be yond the realm of human decency. These stories tell of women being raped, sodomized and even worse. It disturbs me that people I consider fellow Aggies tolerate, much less participate, in such atrocious behavior. So if anything should be re moved from Bonfire its grode sto ries, the other issues are simply trivial in comparison. Jennifer Pigeon Class of’98 ties for your actions and to treat othei's with respect, whether they agree with you or not. Glow up, act like you have some pride for this university, so that others are not of fended but honor the traditions we all cherish. Put some of that energy into your studies, into helping others or reflecting on your walk with Christ. Kendle K. Hall Class of’99 Story content marks real problem Profanity displays immature behavior It seems to me that everyone is upset for all the wrong reasons concerning Bonfire. The real issue does not lie in the words scribbled on a few pots, but resides in the Immature behavior reflects on evexy student who attends this uni versity. Those of you that complain and try to justify your bad behavior represent all 40,000+ of us Aggies. I don’t think we need that kind of representation!
