Time capsi
with sports
As we approach the half-way
point of the first year in the '90s,
what would be some of the things
that would be worthy of storing in
a time capsule; relating to sports,
of course.
I thought about this over the
weekend, and I came up with five
things that have happened during
the first six-months of the year.
Before I continue, you might wonder
why a time capsule. Well, the
'80s just ended, and everything
and anything that happened during
those 10 fabulous years has been
documented in some sort of fashion.
So I decided to get a head
start on what will be documented
about the year 1990 when this decade
expires, and store it in a time
capsule.
For January, I'd go with Super
Bowl XXIV and San Francisco's
55-10 romp over Denver. Not only
was it the biggest blowout in
Super Bowl history, but it gave the
49ers their second straight championship
and their fourth of the
'80s. This game allowed the 49ers
to claim they were the best in the
business. From Joe Montana to

49ers showed why ihey should go
down in the record books as one of
the best teams ever. And in the
time capsule.
Now for February, what else
could go in but the tumble in Tokyo.
That's right, Buster Douglas'
shocking upset of Mike Tyson in
10 rounds. Tyson was the undisputed
king of boxing and looked to
be prepping for a future match
with the No.l contender Evander
Hollyfield. However, with Douglas'
victory, the world of boxing
was thrown for a loop as now Tyson
fights to regain status, while
the big match will be in September
between Douglas and Hollyfield.
But all of this wouldn't have happened
if Tyson's Tokyo tumble
hadn't happened. So put this into
the time capsule.
For March and April, I'm going
to put in the dream run of LoyolaMarymount
in the NCAA basketball
tournament. After the death of
star forward Hank Gathers, the
Lions came within one game of

the Final Four. Bo Kimble and Jeff #
Fryer led the tournament in three- g
point bombs, and who can forget b
the destruction of defending champ
Michigan. It was by far a run to
remember, from Kimble's left
handed free throws to the Lions
style of play. And it was a run that ^
deserves to go into the time
capsule.
For the month of May, another ^
college team and their dream run j
makes it to the time capsule. The if
Citadel and their ride to the Col- 1
lege World Series is one that made
the state of South Carolina proud. |j
Head coach Chal Port and his S
troops disposed of national power
Miami (Fla) in two games to ad
vance to the field of eight. That in J
itself was an accomplishment for a m
school with an enrolment of 2,200
as compared to Louisiana State
University and their enrolement of
24,118. The Bulldogs then beat qg
Cal-State Fullerton in an elimina- jfy
lion match in a thrilling 11 inning ^
game, before bowing out thanks in f,
part to LSU. The Citadel's Jason
Rychlik, an outfielder, made the
All-Tournament team. And again, ?
all of this is worthy of going into
the time capsule. mu^
Finally for the month of June,
the upset of Argentina by Came- in&
roon in the opening match of the ^
World Cup has to rank as one of u
the greatest opening matches ever ttiei
played. Cameroon was given little
chance against the defending * Ju
champions, but they must not have an<^
heard the critics. Francois Omam- Pre
Biyik delivered the only goal of
lh<* ojmc in ihp f\(\ ?h minntp r\f .

play. His head shot squirted past
Argentine goalkeeper Nery Pumpido
and made Francois a national
hero for a day. The game was not
just an upset but a complete domi- _
nation by Cameroon as they had '
12 shots on goal in the second
half, to Argentina's five. This is a
