Tailgating, the sched ule and how many teams get to play for Super Bowl spots all could be changing. There probably will be a 16- game season — commissioner Paul Tagliabue is expected to announce Tuesday that the games called off Sunday and Monday will be made up on what would have been wild-card weekend Jan 5-6. But fans who blithely drive into parking lots three hours be fore a game, tailgate for 2 1/2 hours, then casually walk to their seats just in time for kickoff, won’t be able to do that anymore. “The commissioner has de cided that our No. 1 priority is security,” said Milt Ahlerich, the NFL’s senior director of securi ty, Monday. “Our fans are going to have to he more patient. We’re suggest ing that they get to the stadiums early and then get to their seats early. We want to alleviate that last-minute game crush.’’ There will be more uni formed police at games. Fans will not be allowed to bring bags into stadiums, and cars will be required to park a good distance away. Those were among the se curity measures used during the 1991 playoffs, which took place during the Gulf War. But there will not be fighter planes circling stadiums while games are being played. “The threat has not come to that level,” Ahlerich said. As teams returned to practice Monday, things still seemed a bit awry. “As you might have expected, our focus wasn’t quite at the lev el that we would normally ex pect it to be,” said Detroit coach Marty Mornhinweg. Some players and coaches re mained concerned about travel. Carolina coach George Seifert said the Panthers were consider ing driving to Atlanta for this week’s game rather than flying. “I’ve never been on a bus for 4 1/2 to 5 hours before. That might be a new experience,” said tight end Wesley Walls. “We’ll see how I like it.” Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and New Orleans will be off next weekend, and Arizona, which was off the first week of the reg ular season, hasn’t played since its last exhibition on Aug. 3 1. That will make it 24 days with out a game when the Cardinals face Denver in Tempe on Sun day night. The Steelers, Saints, Bugs and Lions now will not have a The commissioner has decided that our No. 1 priority is security. Our fans are going to have to be more patient. — Milt Ahlerich NFL senior director of security home games until the fifth weekend, with Detroit playing St. Louis on Monday night that week. That is particularly disap pointing to Pittsburgh, which had been scheduled to open brand-new Heinz Field on Sun day night. Another potential problem caused by the six-day postpone ment of baseball games was alle viated Monday when die Balti more Orioles moved Cal Ripken’s final game from Oct. 7 to the previous night. That avoid ed a conflict with the Tennessee Titans-Baltimore Ravens game scheduled next door to Camden Yards at 1 p.m. on Oct. 7. The playoffs will be changed, if Tagliabue does as expected and makes up last weekend’s games on the wild-card week end. The playoff teams would be reduced from 12 teams to eight, with just one wild-card team in each conference instead of three. No team seeded lower than fourth has made it to a champi onship game since Jacksonville upset Buffalo and Denver to reach the AFC title game after the 1996 season. And only one has made it to a Super Bowl — New England after the 1985 season, when there were just two wild-card teams per conference. Each AFC division appears to have two strong teams: Mia mi and Indianapolis in the East; Baltimore and Tennessee in the Central; and Oakland and Den ver in the West. Recent history tells us that there is at least one sleeper every year that turns 180 degrees from a horrible season — San Diego, 1-15 last • season, opened with a 30-3 win ! over Washington. With only one wild-card team er conference, the division races ecome far more important. Tennessee’s opening-week loss to Miami might be pivotal if the two contend for a wild card spot. In the NFC, the reduction in wild-card teams probably would mean the Giants or Eagles ; would have to win the East to make the playoffs. Each will have to sweep the Redskins, Cardinals and Cowboys, all of whom seem to be among the league’s weakest teams, then at ( least split against each other. Overall, the mood around the NFL on Monday was expressed by Arizona coach Dave McGin nis as the Cardinals resumed practice after their long layoff. “We’re hack to work,” he said. “As our president said when he got off the helicopter from Camp David, he wanted America to go back to work. We’re back to work. Our work this weekend is the Den-" j ver Broncos.” Wreck Continued from Page 5 “The force was so great the seat belt was actually broken.’’ Murphy said. The other six SUV passen gers also were ejected. AH the SUV occupants died at the scene. The others killed were Nicholas J. Schabron, 20, of Laramie; Justin Lambert- Belanger. 20, of Timmins, Ontario, Canada; Kyle N. Johnson, 20, of Riverton; Kevin L. Salverson, 19, of Cheyenne; Joshua D. Jones, 22, of Laramie; Morgan McLeland, 21, of Gillette; and Cody B. Brown, 21, of Hudson, Colo. Sunday night, members of football, basketball and other teams met with counselors and school officials in meeting rooms at the sports arena. Some athletes sought addition al counseling. “It’s hard to put it into words. There are some kids that are absolutely scared to death,” Moon said. “There’s some that simply don't understand. They can’t understand.” The deaths have disqualified the men's cross-country team from competing because only four runners are left, he said. The university will decide whether to recruit more runners or cancel the season. The team needs five runners under NCAA rules. Moon said.

Junior middle blocker Jenny Tanneberger, who transferred from Texas, is one of only two players to be hitting above .200 with a team-best .273 efficiency.

The Aggies are slated to begin Big 12 compe tition at Missouri on Saturday. A&M was stunned by the Tigers in the conference opener last season, losing in three games in Columbia. Both teams ended the season tied with Kansas State for second place in the Big 12 standings with a 14-6 record. Jordan makes NBA comeback on Net For 90 minutes Monday, Michael Jordan was listed as an active player for the Washington Wizards on the team’s Web site. Apparently, someone pressed a button a little too soon. “Just a clerical error,” NBA spokesman Tim Frank said. “Our Internet department was making preparations in case he comes back.” Jordan had all but confirmed he would announce a comeback at a news conference as early as this week. Because of the terror ist attacks, he is now more likely to announce his decision in a SPORTS IN BRIEF more low-key manner, such as a faxed news release, in the next two weeks. Wizards spokesman Matt Williams said he was inundated with phone calls after Jordan was included on the Web page, tucked alphabetically between Popeye Jones and Christian Laettner. Jordan was listed as a 6-foot-6 guard, 198 pounds. The uniform, of course, was No. 23. The Web site also included a brief biography, complete with his career statistics down to such triv ial information as the fact that he wore his blue North Carolina shorts underneath his Bulls shorts when he played for Chicago. Jordan’s name was taken off the active roster late in the after noon by the NBA, which controls the rosters on the Web site. This would be the second comeback for the 38-year-old Jordan, who led the Bulls to six NBA championships. He retired in October 1993 to play minor league baseball and returned to the Bulls in March 1995. He retired again in January 1999. At the NBA Store in Manhattan, employees said they were stock ing several blank Wizards jerseys that will be embroidered with Jordan's name and number when the comeback is official. For now, the only Wizards jer seys available at the store are Richard Hamilton’s No. 32 and rookie Kwame Brown's No. 5. 1919 Texas Ave. S 8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday-Friday College Station • 696-6713 9 a-m. - 2 p.m. Saturday PHI GAMMA DELTA Returns to Texas A8cM University BE A FOUNDING FATHER LEAVE YOUR LEGACY.
