A myriad of things has happened i the sports world since I saw you last, id I can only begin to name a few. There were the Buffalo Bills failing i make the playoffs for the first time in od knows how long. There were the Clemson Tigers comig to town and knocking the pants off coach Foglei's thin, thin and even thinsr Carolina Basketball sauad. On New Years Day, Nebraska Comaker football coach Tom Osborne pulled ie near impossible and beat the Miai Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl. The jxt day, he proved the "sentimental" vorite, outdistancing also undefeated enn State in the polls to win his first ational Championship and breaking s bowl jinx.

I don't usually like to write about things on a national scale, Kiif o Ofvnf OIT> 4- 1 4- ^ A uub a toi Lain event last uuiiuay elite I noon prompts me to do so. In the most hyped non-Superbowl Superbowl in years, the San Francisco 49ers ended two years of playoff frustration to the Dallas Cowboys, winning 38-28. With only eight minutes gone in the first quarter, the Cowboys found themselves down 21-0 as a result of three crucial turnovers. Despite a valiant comeback, the Boys couldn't overcome injuries and a bad call by the refs and the Dallas Dynasty came to an end at Candlestick Park. First of all, kudos to the Niners. They had one of the most memorable offseasons in history, making their defense one of the best. Steve Young appears destined to replace Joe Montana in San Francisco lore. In the following sentences I wish to take nothing away from the Niners or their fans.

It was the higher power in the Dallas Hierarchy, Jerry Jones who ultimately caused the Cowboys downfall. I can still hear Bob Trump/a voice in last year's Super Bowl in Atlanta. This team could easily win the next Super Bowl and quite possibly the next three also," he said, amazed at the way they totally decimated the Bills, 30-13 in the game. Those words were echoed by ESPN's Chris Berman and Tom Jackson, who agreed that it would take something totally boneheaded to screw this one up. Well, if s a year later, and the Cowboys are more than screwed up. Star defensive end Charles Haley has already said he is laavinc. and ha ain't tha nnlv one. Nine Dallas starters will be free agents, including wide receiver Michael Irvin, who helped lead the Cowboys in their quest to the top. With Irvin demanding a $3 million a year salary, it will be next to impossible to keep the dynamic duo of Irvin and i T -'.-j robic Schedule ay, January 16,1995 Thursday Friday 20/20/20* Body Sculpting Gym 308 Gym 308 Faculty & Staff Enrichment Gym 307 Step* Funk Gym 308 Gym 308 Body Sculpting Twin Towers* Gym 307 Gym 308 Lower Half* Gym 307 ,11 tha ui univi, wi campus Kccreauon, / / / itions are on a first come, first serve bas jrson, per semester to take ae of Campus Recreation, 202 E dget, facility conflict, or level < iter, Room 202, 777-5261, fc i ? i one Free Aer Use this coupon to get in Program's weekly aerobic c waiver of liability at the c 1/20/95.

Two other key free agents include center Mark Stepnoski, who will surelj be looked at heavily, and tight end Jaj Novacek, who has proved instrumental in the Cowboys success. If these players are lost, you can plan on seeing a lot less bandwagon fans in the next few years because they will no! win. Jerry Jones continues to anger fans with his money hungry decisions, and if he keeps it up, plan on seeing him hung in effigy at Texas Stadium in the near future. Who can forgive Jones for the disaster he organized last offseason? First, Tnnv Casillas was sicmarl hv tba flhiafs Then, Ken Norton Jr., the heart and soul of the Dallas Defense, was left unprotected and was signed by, guess who, the San Francisco 49ers. As if to make matters worse, two others, offensive lineman Kevin Gogan and star strong safety Thomas Everett also signed with other teams. I don't know about you folks, but this just isn't the way to maintain the best team in decades. But wait, it gets worse!

In addition to eligible ee in Miami t coach Jimmy Johnson, told Johnson that r he could find quite a number of people who could coach the Cowboys as good or s better than Johnson. ' A few drinks and signatures later, ' Johnson was at home in the Keys and 1 the new Dallas head coach was Barry Switzer, a man who had never even l coached a pro football game in his life, i much less coach a passing offense! ; (Switzefs wishbone teams at Oklahoma rarely had a passing total in the double i digits). [ The point of this all is that Jerry ; Jones, in an act of total selfishness to ward his players, fired a coach that had tremendous respect from his squad, and hired a virtual no name in professional coaching. Lefs just say the Jones - Johnson fiasco never happened and that Johnson coached the duration of this season. There would have been no loss to the Lions in the second game of the season. There would have been no loss to San Francisco in midseason. There would have been no loss at home to the Cleveland Browns in late season. And with home field advantage going to the Cowboys, there would have been no loss at monsoon-soaked Candlestick Park on Sunday. wnnMHWHii Open Mon-Thurs 10 am -11 pm, F | Sun 1:30"1C Park] 1 M 222Ca^g IA, i i BLOSSOM STREI fc UI ? fc 7 6di m Point. |~Z~ ^ ?
