Texas vs. Baylor We are a group of professors, instructors, lecturers, and administrators united by our common experience that Jesus Christ provides intellectually and spiritually satisfying answers to life’s most important questions. We are available to students, faculty, and staff who might like to discuss such questions with us.

The Christian Faculty Web site is http://facultyfriends.tamu.edu There are a few reasons to watch Saturday’s game in Nor man, and none of them have anything to do whether it’s more depressing to be from Lubbock or from Oklahoma. First and foremost, anyone with “maroon blood” should be rooting for Tech to get absolute ly destroyed at any opportunity, and let’s face it: This is a really good one. Opening division play against the nation’s fastest de fense and best quarterback is one thing; doing so armed only with a wildly inconsistent offense and one of the nation’s worst defens es is another. Oklahoma quarterback Jason White will look to make a strong case for a second Heisman tro phy against the softest defense outside of Waco. Tech head coach Mike Leach, a protege of Oklahoma head man Bob Stoops, will most likely see his vaunted spread of fense (currently averaging 539 yards and 38 points per game) grind to a complete halt against Oklahoma’s defense, which gives up just less than 15 points per game. For Tech to win, the final score will have to look like Bob Knight was coaching the game: somewhere around 77-63. But if Tech continues its trend Missouri vs. Colorado There are major problems in Columbia, Mizzurah, as Dave South would say. Some doubts about the program stemming from an upset by the Troy State Trojans were soothed by beating up on the Bailers of Ball State. They take on Colorado this week, fresh off a bye week preceded by a 52-21 shellacking of North Texas, in the conference opener for both squads. Missouri will be without the services of sophomore starting linebacker David Richard, whom coach Gary Pinkel suspended for undisclosed disciplinary reasons. Colorado, meanwhile, will still be without the services of any sort of proven, battle-tested quar terback or the peace of mind that comes from a program not trou bled by off-season turbulence. Beleaguered Colorado coach Gary Barnett resorted to putting a scout team safety in at quarter back to simulate the athleticism of Missouri’s Brad Smith. Pin kel has kept Smith in the pocket so far this season, severely limit ing his effectiveness. The winner of this game will have a step up in the hunt for the Big 12 North division crown, which is seemingly up for grabs to the team that does the least to mess up its chances.

Florida State and Florida continue to match up ev ery season despite being in separate conferences. Even the annual Army-Navy game is something that you don’t want to miss. In college hoops, it’s Duke and North Carolina. Two of the most decorated teams in NCAA history square off each year in an Atlantic Coast Conference match-up that leaves ESPN announcer Dick Vitale hoarse and fresh out of catchphrases. In the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and Washing ton Redskins are two teams that love to hateeacli other. Don’t worry about missing out on them either; the major networks start screaming about these games weeks before they happen in most cases. October is a brilliant month for college and professional sports in that it marks the seasoa of “the game” that teams circle on their schedules months before the season starts and began prepar ing for as last year’s contest ended. So on Oct. 9, tune in to the Red River Shoot out and watch in awe as the Cotton Bowl is spli/ right down the 50-yard line. There is speculai that another UT loss could cost head coach Mr Brown his job. Some would say those are pretty high stakes, but that’s what a rivalry is all about, Howard room A121 bland Adv •forty Melor Expos moving to Washington By Joseph White THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was more pep rally than news conference, with the mayor and city officials wear ing red Washington Senators caps, the ones with the curly “W” on the front. “After 30 years of waiting and waiting and waiting,” said Mayor Anthony Williams, adding dra matic pauses for emphasis, “and lots of hard work and more than a few prayers, there will be base ball in Washington in 2005!” Baseball returned to the na tion’s capital for the first time in 33 years Wednesday, with an announcement from Ma jor League Baseball that the Montreal Expos will move to Washington next season. The announcement came one day before the anniversary of the Senators’ final game. The team moved to Texas after the 1971 season, the last time a ma jor league team moved. “It’s a day when the sun is setting in Montreal, but it’s rising in Washington,” Expos president Tony Tavares told a news conference in Montreal. More than 30,000 fans at tended the Expos’ last game at Olympic Stadium, about four times the normal number on a given night, and at least one person was unhappy with the move. The game against the Florida Marlins was delayed 10 minutes after someone threw a golf ball that landed near second base and players were pulled off the field. Relocation of the Expos is subject to certain contingencies. including a vote by team own ers in November and passaged legislation by the Washington’s City Council to build aballparl on the Anacostia River water front, south of the Capitol. “There has been tremen dous growth in the Washing ton, D.C., area over the last33 years, and we in Major Baseball believe that will be welcomed there will be a great success,”com missioner Bud Selig said. The team will play for three seasons at RFK Stadium while a new ballpark is built. The first home game will be April 15 against the Arizona Dia mondbacks, according to the draft 2005 schedule that has been circulated to major league teams. The team opens the sea son Aoril 4 at Philadelphia. on yo award ucts, [ Chi Indue Cole Not avail AfNP iiV^I i■■ We Have the Solution! Ph. 979-776-7767 Extended Office Hours for Your Convenience!
