Rain with a long walk home
It was another long and lone
some walk home.
After the 24-20 loss to a South
Carolina team who played over
their heads and beat us for the
second straight year, the usual
five-minute walk from Sanford
Stadium to Myers Hall seemed like
an eternity.
It was raining, as it had all af
ternoon. A steady, irritating rain
which couldn’t decide whether it
wanted to stop or pour. I was emo
tionally drained, exhausted from
bottling my intense yearning to
bark, a definite no-no from the
press box. Its a feeling similar to
having the urge to urinate but not
having a toilet available.
As I left the stadium, my
thoughts turned to the somber
Georgia locker room. Distress and
despair gripped me as soon as I
stepped in the room Ray Goffs
steel-blue eye*, which a week ago
had the look of confidence, now had
a red tint and had a look of frustra
tion.
The players spoke in a low,
barely audible tones about making
mistakes. Mental mistakes, such
as two foolish clipping penalties.
Physical mistakes, such as dropped
passes and missed blocking assign
ments.
Then there was Greg Talley. The
quarterback gets too much of the
glory when the team wins and al
most all the blame when they lose.
He tried to be his normal, upbeat
self, but his voice cracked and wa
vered from the tragedy. Georgia
may have lost the game, but they
gained a quarterback whose been
through the fire and performed
with guts.

Williams
All these thoughts swirled
around my head as the mist
pounded against my black fedora
and the celebration of elated
Gamecock fans rang in my ears.
As I passed the geography
building, 1 thought back to the
Gamecock faithful and the Caro
lina band. The band played and the
Cocks chanted, “WE’RE GONNA
BEAT THE HELL OUTTA YOU!"
Those seven words came back to
mind when Carolina sacked Talley
three times in a row to snatch
away our life preserver and the
chance of saving ourselves.
Finally, as I reached the door to
my residence hall, I thought about
the big games I’ve seen during my
three years at Georgia, home and
away, and our records.
We have lost to Clemson, LSU,
Auburn twice, and Carolina twice
and to top it off, we even lost to
Kentucky last year. Those games
meant a lot of disappointments and
a lot of long walks home or to the
car.
When will we get to celebrate in
the Stadium? When will we get to
cheer the Bulldogs after a victory
over a big team instead of leaving
Sanford Stadium to the jeers of vis
iting fans who are using our stands
as a sounding board to the South?
Wins over Vanderbilt are nice, but
not when you catch hell every year
from your buddies from Auburn or
Clemson.
When will we win the big game,
and make my walks home a little
shorter?

Lady Spikers split matches
By ANDY NORMAN
Sports Writer
Ranked 16th nationally, the
LSU Lady Tigers proved too skil
lful a team to be dominated by
the University of Georgia
women’s volleyball team Friday
night.
As of Sept. 26, Georgia was de
void of a national ranking, but
clutches the number-one spot in
SEC rankings ahead of LSU.
Rising from number five, LSU
climbed to the number three rung
before tackling Georgia.
Friday’s scores of 12-15, 18-16,
15-8, and 15-10 seem to prove
Georgia’s competitiveness
against nationally ranked teams.
Even the LSU athletic director
commented of Georgia’s
strengths as he mentioned LSU’s
beating of a “solid Georgia team."
Head coach Jim lams felt that
his charges had what it took to
defeat LSU, and obviously har
bored disappointment, but he
seems to be centering his atten
tion on the future and the power
house teams that Georgia faces
during the next month.
‘This week’s obviously going to
be important as we prepare for
Friday’s match with Tennessee.
We have to be ready."
After dropping the LSU match,
Georgia travelled to New Orleans
to face the Greenwaves of Tu-
lane.
Tulane didn’t put up much of a
fight, going down 3-0 with scores
of 15-4,15-4, and 15-9. The week
end’s play moves the Lady
Spikers record to 12-2 for the
season.
Several of the Lady Dogs found
themselves ranked nationally in
individual statistical categories,
including starting setter Jill
Moore holding the number-
eleven spot in assists and Christa
Faris, ranked 13th in the nation
for 4.758 kills per game.
Norman Cowins selected The R&B
Player of the Week by sports staff
Outside linebacker makes 11 tackles, adds three sacks
By GENE WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
South Carolina decided to key on
stopping Mo Lewis after his bril-
lant performance against Missis
sippi State. Well, they did
neutralize Lewis, but they forgot
about Georgia’s other outside line
backer.
Norman Cowins, by recording
three sacks and 11 unassisted
tackles, has been selected as The
Red and Black Player of the Week.
Cowins, who has amassed 26
teckles, has been a steady per
former all year long for the Bull
dogs and was pleased with his play
Saturday.
“I had some good plays and some
bad plays,” Cowins said. “I was just

It was a good thing he was in the
Carolina backfield those three
times because without Cowins’
timely sacks, the outcome may
have been worse. On Cowins first
sack, the Bulldogs forced South
Carolina to punt and then drove 84
yards on eleven plays for the touch
down to make the score 14-10, Car
olina. His other two sacks came on
third down and stopped Carolina
drives.
The Bulldogs entered the game
having not given up a touchdown
all season, but Todd Ellis and Com
pany quickly ended that statistic
on the game’s first possession.
After Georgia punted, Carolina
marched down the field again and
put Bulldog fans in a comatose
state while bolting to a 14-0 advan
tage after nine minutes of play.
Georgia defensive coordiantor
Richard Bell said that the Game
cocks did not surprie Georgia.
‘They didn’t surprise us at all,
they just did a better job of exec
uting than we did,” Bell said. “We
have got to play 60 minutes, we
cannot spot 14 points every game.”
Cowins agreed.
“We basically knew what they
were doing," Cowins said.
If Georgia knew what South
Carolina was going to do offen
sively, why did they come out so
easily and jump on the Bulldogs for
14 points in the first stanza?
“I accept full responsibility for
not properly preparing this football
team,” head coach Ray Goff said.
Cowins, though, believes that
the defense has got to forget about
the Carolina setback and quickly
turn their thoughts toward a tough
Tennessee team and tailback
