Obstetrics & Gynecology EEXESi s.tamu.eau No. 14 Aggies travel to CU By Doug Puentes THE BATTALION The No. 14 Texas A&M vol leyball team begins the second half of its Big 12 season Wednesday when it travels to Boulder, Colo., to take on the No. 24 Colorado Buffaloes. The Aggies (15-3, 8-2 Big 12) begin the second half in sole possession of second place in the Big 12. Colorado (11-6, 6-3 Big 12) is amid a two-game los ing streak and is in third place in the Big 12, behind the Aggies. The first half of Big 12 play has been good to the Aggies as they posted an 8-2 record. However, when they face the Buffaloes, they will be looking to avenge one of those losses. The Buffaloes defeated A&M in five games earlier this season at the G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Aggies took the first two games of the match, 30-23, 30-24, and seemed well on their way to a victory. Colorado bounced back to win the last three games, 30-28, 30-24, 15-10, to pick up the win, which was its first in five visits to G. Rollie. The Buffaloes also won their last game against the Aggies last season, to have two straight vic tories against A&M. “I think it’s a great battle between the two teams,” said A&M volleyball coach Laurie Corbelli. “They’ve been off since last Wednesday, and I think that’s going to be good for us because we will hopefully still be in our game mode ready to go. They’re a feisty group. We always have very close games, so we’re anticipating more of the same.” The Aggies are coming off a 30-28, 23-30, 34-32, 30-25 vic tory over Kansas State on Monday at G. Rollie. The Aggies were led on the attack by senior outside hitter Brandi Mount. Mount paced the Aggies with 22 kills and hit a team record of .354 for the match. The Buffaloes have tied their season-long losing streak at two matches after losing to No. 8 Colorado State and being upset by Missouri last week. Colorado was without out side hitter Sonja Russell for both games due to a sprained ankle. Russel, who leads the team with 3.30 digs per game, and is second with 3.31 kills per game, is listed as probable to play against the Aggies. The Aggies are off this week end and return to action at home against Oklahoma at G. Rollie on Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. Continued from depth chart has been hit.

But the project to replace Irving’s Texas Stadium, the Cowboys’ home since 1971, is now likely delayed both by the terrorist attacks and weakening economy. “Our world is different today than it was two months ago, and we understand that,” said Jones. “This clearly is not a time to talk in more specifics or in great detail.” Irving Mayor Joe Putnam left his meeting with the Cowboys owner under the impression that the stadium cc The time for decision-making is down the road. ” development plans have been pushed back. “What I have been advised by their representa tives is because of the events of 9/11 and economic uncertainty in the country, no stadium proposals or discussions will be forthcoming for several months,” said Putnam, who has let City Council members lead Irving’s charge for a new stadium. A 100,000-seat stadium for the Cowboys — surrounded by a year-round destination that includes football-themed dining, lodging and other attractions — would open in 2006 at the earliest. For that to occur, decisions on location. design, and financing would have to be mai within the next year or so. “Our exchange of ideas will hopefully givens better sense of where we and the various comm® ties are, and where we might be going as we lot* to the future as it pertains to football,” Jonessa/ih a prepared statement. “This clearly is notaW^ talk in more specifics or ip great detail.
