ed the Vail Daily newspaper’s request to
release the 911 records, saying the
“intensely personal’’ material would sub
ject the alleged victim to harassment and
abuse. The woman had been treated earlier
this year for mental health problems.
The Vail paper wanted any 911 records
made from the accuser’s home this year. Vail
police handle emergency calls for the Eagle
County sheriff’s office and Eagle police.
Bryant is charged with raping the
woman June 30 in his suite at a mountain
resort where she worked and he was a
guest. Bryant has said the two had consen
sual sex.
Bryant is scheduled to appear for an Oct.
9 preliminary hearing at which Gannett will
decide whether he will stand trial.
An attorney for the accuser asked
Gannett to deny a defense request for a
hearing before Oct. 9 on whether she has
waived her privacy rights on medical
records.
Attorney John Clune said the material
could be used only to attack the woman’s
credibility, which is not relevant at a pre
liminary hearing unless other testimony is
determined “wholly implausible.”
Defense attorneys Pamela Mackey and
Hal Haddon are seeking medical records
from a clinic in Eagle, a hospital in
Greeley and the student health service at
the University of Northern Colorado.

Webber wont
be sentenced
for two years
DETROIT (AP) — A federal judge on
Tuesday deferred for about two years the sen
tencing of Sacramento Kings star Chris
Webber, who admitted lying to a grand jury
about his dealings with a former University of
Michigan basketball booster.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds instead
ordered a provision to Webber’s bond that
requires him to volunteer at a six-week summer
literacy program at Butzel Middle School in
Detroit in the summers of 2004 and 2005. Webber
must work at least 150 hours each summer.
Edmunds deferred sentencing until August
or September of 2005.
In July, Webber pleaded guilty to a lesser
charge of criminal contempt a day before jury
selection was to begin in his perjury trial.
Webber and his father, Mayce Webber Jr.,
were accused of lying about money authorities
say the player received from ex-booster Ed
Martin. The maximum penalty would have
been five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
“1 believe that Mr. Webber understands the
seriousness of his offense, that he is remorseful,”
Edmunds said at a brief hearing. But she said she
was undecided whether to treat Webber’s crimi
nal contempt plea as a felony or misdemeanor.
“I don’t call this punishment,” Webber’s
attorney, Steve Fishman, said after the hearing.
“Chris is looking forward to participating.”

“1 feel I’ve made the adjustment pretty well,”
McDaniel said. “Jared has been working with
me, coach has been working with me. I’m feel
ing comfortable there.”
He’s not concerned about starting the last
game against Utah and backing up against
Virginia Tech.
■ “Right now, my mind set is what’s best for
the team,” McDaniel said. “If I’m going to be
second string and that’s going to cause us to
win, that’s what I want. When it’s time for me
to play, I’ll play.”
Torbush spent the Aggies’ open date last
week juggling his linebackers to go against the
; Hokies’run-oriented offense.
“This is kind of what we get paid for; we’ve
I had to start doing what we said we’d do and
I that’s manufacture depth,” Torbush said.

“He’s probably played more (this season)
than he’s played his entire career,” Torbush said.
The Aggies switched to a 4-3 base defense
this season with the middle linebacker being
responsible for calling defensive signals.
“Our linebackers had equal responsibility to
make the assignments last year and now it’s all on
the (middle) linebacker,” McDaniel said. “I think
in the beginning I was a little skeptical because I
knew I didn’t know all the calls and signals.
“This off week has helped me a lot. I feel
ready.”
Torbush doesn’t plan to put all the pressure
on one player.
“We’re going to play six linebackers and
we’ll rotate them as much as we need to or
when we have to,” Torbush. “I don’t think it’s
going to make a big difference what three are in
there because I feel very comfortable that any of
the three will be as consistent when we mix or
match them.”
Stickane expects the defense to play well
against the Hokies.
“I’m not nervous about playing or starting,”
Stickane said. “I’ve been here for a long time
and I’ve been playing football a long time.
“They just do what they do well, it’s not
overwhelming or scary. We’ve got our hands
full.”

A&M has ever finished is
second place, which it has
accomplished twice, both
years behind the
Cornhuskers.
As for the Huskers. Big 12
Championships are old hat.
The team has won five con
secutive years, going unde
feated over the past three,
compiling perfect 20-0
records. The one year the
Huskers lost the Big 12 was
in 1997, finishing in second
place.
“In the Big 12 you’d better
come to play every night,”
Cook said. “Every night you
have to play well, every night
you have to give a great effort
to win in the conference.”
The Aggies and coach
Laurie Corbelli feel they are
up to the challenge of facing
the Huskers.
“I really think (it helped
that) we just a saw a great
team,” Corbelli said. “We
won’t be going into Nebraska
saying ‘We haven’t seen a
tough team in a while.’ (USC)
is very similar to Nebraska. I
think it’s going to help us.
I’m thrilled it happened like
that.”
The match last week
against USC was a bit of a
confidence builder for the
Aggies as they were able to
prove that they can play with
the best in the nation. The
Aggies managed to take
USC to the ropes in the first
game before succumbing
and running into rough water
in the second game, when
they had trouble with the
Trojans’ serve.
“Having that tough of a
serve coming at us gave
insight to what the top team
in the nation can throw at us,”
said A&M middle blocker
Melissa Munsch.
As the Aggies head into
Lincoln this week, the chal
lenge may be even more
daunting than the last. A&M
was fortunate to get to play
USC at G. Rollie White
Coliseum in front of nearly
3,000 friendly fans — the
third largest crowd in A&M
history — something the
team said helps give it an
extra step.
This week the shoe will be
on the opposite foot. The
Huskers averaged 4,390 fans
last year, a number that is

running game in the Aggies 28-26
victory over the Utes. Virginia Tech
boasts Heisman candidate Kevin
Jones at running back in what is
one of the most lethal running
attacks in the country.
The Aggie defense wants the
Wrecking Crew title back, and hold
ing Virginia Tech would certainly
contribute to the cause.
Motivation No. 3: the Aggies
have nothing to lose. Nobody is
picking an upset this weekend in
Blacksburg, and although the
Hokies will not take A&M lightly,
this works in the Aggies’ favor.
“If you play well against a top-
10 team and win, that’s easy,”
Franchione said. “If you play well
against a top-10 team and lose, and
then you go play the next week
against a team that’s maybe not
top-10 and don’t win, I don’t know
if you gained a lot. I’m not into
moral victories.”
Anyone wondering about all of
this motivational talk should take a
look at Franchione’s past exploits.
While at the helm at TCU in
1996 Franchione coached his
Homed Frogs to an upset of Air
Force, 35-34. TCU was 1 -10 the sea
son before, and the win took them to
4-1. TCU ended the season with
another upset, this time against USC
in the Sun Bowl.
At Alabama, Franchione took a
team in 2002 that was strapped
with NCAA sanctions, without the
possibility of playing in the SEC
Championship or a bowl game, and
won the SEC West with a 10-3
record.
Franchione’s gameday exploits
are also well renowned.
In the 2002 loss to Oklahoma,
Franchione’s Alabama team led the
game off with an onside kick. That
kind of trickery at A&M could turn
Aggie legend E. King Gill over in
his grave, but don’t be surprised to
see a repeat performance Thursday.
Regardless of what tricks
Franchione pulls Thursday night,
the new Aggie coach’s true colors
should shine through win or lose,
and this team will definitely be
motivated to shock the college foot
ball world.
“We’ve had one-and-a-half
weeks to focus on us and getting
better,” said senior offensive line
man Alan Reuber. “This game is a
turning point for us to gain some
confidence.”
