Why did you add 1992 to it? These are the goals of the team year in and year
out. As far as meeting them this year,the first two are met pretty much every
year.As far as the final 3,well only time will tell. With most of the experts
rating our schedule this year as probably the toughest in the nation (SDSU,
Oaklahoma,& Washington the first month alone),the first month should be a 
pretty good indicator.

	I grew up in Stillwater, Ok. and frankly, I am very much
offended by the disparaging sentiments about OSU on this net.  We
must question the character of a graduate of a university who puts
down her own alma mater and the education she received from that 
institution.  IF her education is worthless, then how can we accredit
her remarks as those of an intelligent and educated woman.  

	I did not not attend OSU, but my parents did.  They are
extremely bright and successful people. For every Dexter Manley, 
there are thousands of OSU grads who would make any alumni society
in this country proud.  To use a recent example, we all saw how
intelligent and articulate Anita Hill was in the recent Thomas 
confirmation hearings, and she's an OSU grad.  

	I am a graduate of Berkeley, and if any school could look
down on any other school, Berkeley certainly could.  However, as 
a Berkeley grad I don't look down on OSU.  So I don't see how people
from some really bogus schools which cater to their athletes' 
every whim can sit up on a pedastal and frown upon an upstanding
institution  which has served the state of Oklahoma proudly for 
over 100 years.     

	So I say to our Miss Teresa, you must have one hell of an
inferiority complex about yourself and your education to make the 
remarks that you did.  People with any shred of dignity and self-
respect do not air out their dirty laundry on global nets.

Be serious. To my knowledge, UMich has *never* played a home & home
series with *any* southern team, let alone with any Florida team.
Especially now that FSU and UMiami are in confrences - the game
would be early in the season, September most likely. The heat

Certainly!  I'll descibe any two rivals with such a disparity that
way.

Of course looking at all-time records can be dangerous if significant
changes take place at one school or another.  Texas A&M is more uppity 
and less punch drunk these days than in the past and the rivalry has 
achieved some parity.  Georgia Tech has such an uppity punch drunk sparring
partner as well, namely Clem(p)son.  Though Tech leads the all-time

the games being split about 50-50.

Well, I can't help the fact that you're an Aggie, Vince ;-), but I can
help your lack of knowledge for the UT backs. Phil Brown is the number
one guy in Mackovic's offense, regradless of the others, so we haven't
lost our starter. Adrian Walker is the numebr 2 guy. Both pf these
have lots of experience. Roderick Walker is back, after receiving a
little playin time last year along with Shane Childers. 

So, even though Shane Childers quit the team (he was more of a
short yardage kinda guy anyway IMHO, being big and slow), and Hadnot
is probably leaving, and Juan Kemp (who hasn't played a down for us
anyway) is injured, we do have some people returning, as well as at least
one talented incoming freshman. The position is not as _deep_ as it once
was, but the main guys are back.

   Ahh, I always wondered what those allegations were. Sounds like a pretty

   top athletes do get pretty nasty. As a sidebar, in a Milwaukee Sentinel

       Hello to the Bandwidth,

           I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
       My fellow Alumnus is either composing "tongue in cheek"
       or seriously uninformed.  My experience at Oklahoma State
       is completely contrary to hers.  I would just like to point
       out a few inaccuracies:

                1.  Dexter Manley's inability to read is
                    very arguable.  Many Faculty members
                    and administrative staff have stepped
                    forward publicly and stated that Dexter
                    read publicly in their presence.

                2.  Admission standards at OSU currently rank
                    in the top 3 of the Big Eight Conf. and over
                    the past 20 years have never been lower than
                    5 th.

                3.  Every University worth it's salt has a flexible
                    admission policy so as to allow a small percentage
                    of every incoming class to be admitted on a
                    probationary status.  Currently Okla. ST
                    allows 5%.

           A fellow Redskin of Dexter's stated on National Television
        that he witnessed Dexter reading a speech from a teleprompter
        18 months before Dexter claimed that he began to learn to
        read.

           This issue has been very unfortunate for all parties
        involved since it was brought to light.  Dexter's case,
        when exaimed in correct detail, brings to light many positive
        arguments for dumping prop 48 and some of the other restrictive
        NCAA policies that are reducing the opportunities for a
        chance at post-secondary education.  When Dexter Manley's
        entire public pronouncements are read you will see many
        acknowledgements and thanks given to Oklahoma St. Athletic
        Dept. staff and University Faculty for spending extra time
        tutoring him and showing concern that kept him out of trouble
        while at the University.

           For the record OSU currently requires a 22 on the ACT
        or 990 on the SAT or (3.3 high school GPA & upper 1/3 of
        the high school graduating class).

************************** HEALTH AND GOOD LIFE TO YOU *************************

    My opinions are in great abundance, but strictly my own and I am
    certain the University in no way cares to even hear them let alone
    share in them.  STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY.

  USC, fielding it's 100th team, opened its 1992 campaign by holding its annual
"Cardinal & Gold" day befor an overflow crowd of supporters and fans at Rod
Deadeaux Field Sunday afternoon. Ex Trojan greats with names such as O.J. 
Simpson, Mike Garrett,Charles White,and Anthony Davis were also on hand at the
festivities introducing the 1992 team before the team leaves for Irvine for 
"Hell Week" (two-a-day drills).


  While speaking to the crowd,Head Coach Larry Smith said,"I simply cant wait
to get this season started. Were going to use last years misfortunes to moti
vate us to achive the goals that a USC sets every year before even stepping out
on to the field".*

  Noted the following Highlights while the team was being introduced:

1. Change at Q.B.: Rob Johnson has been announced that he will be the starting
                   Q.B. for the Trojans over last year starter Reggie Perry.

2. "Bomb Squad": That is the new name given to this years group of receivers
                 touted as one of the best receiving corps in the nation.

3. New Haircut: While being introduced to the crowd, junior center Matt Butkis,
                (son of Hall-ofFamer Dick Butkis), flashed is new mohawk which
                resembles a trojan helmet. When saying that his father had not
                seen the new hairstyle yet,Tom Kelly (voice of the Trojans,and
                M.C. of the event) replied "I can imagine that it will be an
                unique father-son chat when he does"....

4. Comeback Kid?: A standing ovation was given to junior center David Apolskis,
                  who is back after sitting out the entire year in 1991 due to
                  cancer surgery...

Oh.  JUST an attitude clash - lets just hold him out one quarter.  If my

players for a whole game for something as "trivial" as skipping a class.

Husky center Jim Nevelle is the first Husky to be members of both the 
500 benchpress and 700 squat club.  In addition, his 4.85 was the 2nd
fastest 40 time among offensive linemen (Peterson has a 4.83)

Freshman Lawyer Milloy, a prize recruit from Tacoma (I believe) is the
first major casualty of fall practice.  He broke a bone in his foot and
will be out at least six weeks.  Milloy was expected to see some time this
year on special teams and as a reserve defensive back.

Defensive back Tommie Smith is practicing with the the third string unit
as he is not academically eligible at the moment.  His grades are high
enough, but he needs to complete a few more credits.  Coach James says 
that he expects Smith to be eligible for the first game.  In addition,
Smith has changed his number from 15 to 20 this year, in deference to
Travis Spring, the 19 year old Husky WR who died this spring of
complications of the radiation treatments to cancer.  Spring also wore
number 15.
