What was the most impressive aspect of Texas A&M’s 55-28 win against Baylor on Saturday? Was it A&M’s combined 266 rushing yards, the TannehillSwope connection, or the defense’s five sacks? Weigh in at thebatt.com.

W
ith less than two minutes remaining on the clock, the entire student section of the fourth-largest crowd in Kyle Field history began chanting in unison: “S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!”
Writing for this newspaper has its perks — scarfing down pasta salad while watching the game in an air conditioned press box is one of them — but it’s moments like those when I wish I were standing in the student section. The sound simply pounded through the entire stadium, reverberating off the walls loud enough for television viewers to hear. Winning at Kyle is always a treat and conference games only up that ante. But didn’t Saturday feel like something more than a win
over a team we’ve handled three years in a row? This game will always stick in my mind because of the way the Aggies won it. In a battle of top-25 teams, No. 21 beat No. 20 — actually, “beat down” would be a better description — by 27, a margin almost greater than the number of points the Bears put on the scoreboard themselves. The thing I’ll always remember is the way the Aggies thoroughly dominated Baylor.
For the first time this year, Ryan Tannehill showed off his arm strength, throwing for 415 yards, good for 16.6 yards per completion. The bubble screen — a staple of A&M’s aerial attack most of the season — hardly made an appearance. Tannehill connected on two 68yard bombs to Ryan Swope and a 47-yarder to Uzoma Nwachukwu. “You’re gonna have a few chances a game [to make big plays],” Tannehill said. “You’ve See Football on page 4
DeLoss “Darth” Dodds, Texas athletic director, said in a statement Friday that the rivalry is postponed until at least 2018 because the Longhorn’s nonconference schedule is full. Now that the Lone Star Showdown is on hold until 2019, Aggie fans wonder which team(s) will serve as the knockoff of the longest-played intra-state rivalry in the nation. Simply replacing the Texas game with another heated matchup is an impossible task. The Twelfth Man yells, hisses and cusses loudest against the school that has belittled A&M’s progress on and off the field for 117 years and then some. Here’s my wish list of filler rivalries until the Showdown’s return: No. 1 Oklahoma/Oklahoma State Either team works as both have good football pedigrees and are tearing through the 2011 season ranked in the top-10. Oklahoma football is synonymous with winning after seven national championships. The Sooners are national contenders and bring in top-10 recruiting classes each year. Who wouldn’t want to compete with that each season? OSU is to OU what A&M is to t.u.: a little state school trying to step out of the shadow of big brother.

The Dream Machine recycling initiative is a PepsiCo Inc. and Waste Management effort, offering rewards for each plastic or aluminum waste item recycled. “Only 12 percent of public spaces are equipped with recycling receptacles — indicating a clear need for greater public access to recycle bins,” said Tiffany McBride, regional marketing manager for Pepsi.

The Battalion It is Aggie Habitat for Humanity’s biggest fundraiser of the year, an annual community event for Covenant Presbyterian Church, and a chance for students to add a fall flavor to their abodes. It’s the great pumpkin — the great pumpkin patch, that is. “The community really enjoys the pumpkin patch,” said Elly Espinoza, senior entomology major and director of special events of Aggie Habitat. “You will see older ladies asking for someone to help them as they try to roll around these huge pumpkins. Sometimes people come and take family pictures there. It’s really pretty and welcoming.” Located at 220 Rock Prairie Road in College Station, at Covenant Presbyterian Church,

Indy driver dies in pileup LAS VEGAS — Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after his car became ensnarled in a fiery 15-car pileup on Lap 13, flew over another vehicle and landed in a catch fence just outside turn 2. The 33-year-old racer was a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, including this year’s race. Three other drivers, including championship contender Will Power, were hurt in the pileup. “One minute you’re joking around at driver intros. The Wheldon next, Dan’s gone,� said Dario Franchitti, whose wife, actress Ashley Judd, had to bring him a box of tissues. “I lost, we lost, a good friend. Everybody in the IndyCar series considered him a friend. He was such a good guy. He was a charmer.� The race was only minutes old when Wheldon, who started at the back of the 34-car field and was in position for a $5 million payday if he

Donors open wallets for Obama WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has shored up support from mid-level donors in some of the most economically distraught areas of the U.S., even as his Republican challengers have made jobs a central issue heading into next year’s election. An Associated Press analysis of Obama’s fundraising since April found his supporters opened their wallets more often this election cycle in places with the worst unemployment rates. That’s compared with the same period four years ago, just months before the country was thrust into a major recession. The new numbers suggest Republican candidates will have to make a harder sell on the gravity of the nation’s 9.1 percent unemployment rate, an issue that has bedeviled Obama throughout his term. Republicans in Congress have opposed the White House on specifics,
especially tax increases, in a jobs bill aimed at pulling the economy out of a nosedive. While Obama reported this week his campaign and the Democratic party raised a combined $70 million for his re-election bid, similar fundraising numbers totals for the Republican field point to growing support for candidates promising to change the country’s direction. Republican contenders raised a total of roughly $52 million, with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney taking the lead in drawing support from across the country. The AP’s analysis found not only a broadening of support for Obama but also a wide appeal for top Republican contenders Romney and Perry. Associated Press

nation&world California doctors push to legalize marijuana ANAHEIM, Calif. — California’s largest industry group for doctors is calling for the legalization of marijuana even as it maintains that the drug has few proven health beneďŹ ts. Trustees of the California Medical Association adopted the new stance at its annual meeting Friday in Anaheim, according to a Los Angeles Times report (http://lat.ms/qR96hb). Dr. Donald Lyman, the Sacramento physician who wrote the group’s new policy, said doctors are increasingly frustrated by the state’s medical marijuana law, which allows use with a doctor’s recommendation. Physicians are put in the uncomfortable position of having to decide whether to recommend a drug that’s illegal under federal law, Lyman said.

Paul Ligon, managing director for the Waste Management subsidy Greenopolis, believes that the Dream Machine recycling initiative will further these objectives. “Experience tells us that people are much more likely to recycle if it’s convenient, and they are rewarded for doing so,� Ligon said. “We look forward to working with Texas A&M to enable a recycling experience that is fun and rewarding on many levels.� Tyler Bradshaw, junior finance major, said the Dream Machine idea is inventive, but its purpose is not readily apparent to casual passersby. “I’ve never used it because I don’t know what it is,� said Bradshaw. “If I had been intrigued I might have used it. I just pass by; I don’t really know what it is.� The Dream Machine recycling initiative began on Earth Day, 2009, and since then more than 3,000 bins and electronic kiosks have popped up around the U.S. McBride said kiosk locations across the country include sports stadiums, public parks and shopping centers.

Which school official (A&M or BU) wouldn’t want to capitalize on the hate dished out by both sides after that mess? School officials argued through the media. Shirts surfaced on both schools’ campuses mocking each other through the whole process. The infamous “Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Conference Deal” billboard emerged in Waco. And besides all that, the two play some pretty good football. Receiving votes: Texas Tech, TCU and Boise State. Tech is too trashy. TCU is too uppity. Boise’s blue turf won’t entice the Twelfth Man to make the 1,753 mile drive every other fall. Receiving NO’s: Notre Dame, USC and Houston. Too cold. Too shady. Too Keenum.

basketball Kennedy leaves team Texas A&M men’s basketball head coach Billy Kennedy has taken a leave of absence due to a medical condition. Kennedy will undergo a series of tests at the recommendation of his physician. Associate head coach Glynn Cyprien will manage the team until his return. Kennedy, in his first year at A&M, expressed disappointment at being unable to attend Maroon Madness — the first practice of the season — Saturday and that he will “be back soon.” Kennedy was hired during the summer after five years as head coach at Murray State University. Texas A&M is tied with Kansas as favorites to win the Big 12 Conference championship in a preseason vote by league head coaches. A&M is one of 12 teams nationwide to make six straight NCAA appearances. A&M’s season tips off at 8 p.m. Nov. 9 against Liberty University at Reed Arena. Michael Gardiner, special to The Battalion

sports Armstrong to compete in Hawaii
nation&world Loyalist forces, opposition fight in Yemen capital
Lance Armstrong will compete in the XTERRA Worlds offroad triathlon. “XTERRA World Champs next wknd. I’m in! Looking fwd to racing,” the seven-time Tour de France winner tweeted Sunday, a week before the swimming, cycling and running competition in Maui. Last month in Colorado, Armstrong was fifth in the XTERRA USA Championship, finishing the 1,500-meter swim, 17.7-mile mountain bike ride and 6.1-mile trail run in 2 hours, 29 minutes, 25 seconds. The Hawaii event features a 1,500-meter swim, 18.3-mile mountain bike ride Armstrong that climbs more than 4,000 feet up and down the lower slopes of the West Maui Mountains, and a 6.1-mile trail run that traverses forest trails and beach sand.

The fighting began shortly after midnight and intensified around 3 a.m. local time, with the sound of explosions rocking many parts of the city. There were no overall casualty figures immediately available, but at least

nation&world Arizona authorities arrest protesters PHOENIX — Authorities in Arizona arrested nearly 100 people after two separate protests in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The 53 arrests in Tucson and 46 in Phoenix on Saturday night came hours after peaceful protests against financial institutions as part of a series of such demonstrations across the country. Police said demonstrators in each city failed to leave parks at curfew. Phoenix police said protesters marched from
a downtown rally to a park that had a posted 10:30 p.m. closing time. “As the park closing hour passed, many of the demonstrators refused to leave,” said police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump, adding that officers told the protesters “to leave or be subject to arrest.” Crump said “a large group remained and refused to leave the park,” resulting in 46 arrests for criminal trespass.

are tickled that we can play that small part.” The pumpkins are pre-priced by size — ranging from large pumpkins to the small ones — priced at $2-$3. “We are going to sell pumpkin carving kits that are cute and kid friendly,” Minter said. “A lot of times, kids will buy the small pumpkins and paint them.” The pumpkin patch is Aggie Habitat’s biggest fundraiser. This event funds mostly all of the materials for the house it will build at the end of the year. Last year the group raised $14,000 from the pumpkin patch. This year, members are aiming for much more. “We get pumpkin deliveries about three

times throughout the month,” Minter said. “The first delivery is about 15,000 pumpkins.” Unloading the pumpkins takes the entire Aggie Habitat group. Before the pumpkins can be laid down, members set up palettes to put them on. To help, local businesses donate about 150 palettes each year. “In the past [the pumpkins] have all been bought,” Espinoza said. The community plays a large role not only in putting the pumpkin patch together, but also in keeping it going. “A lot of elementary-school-aged kids come, so we have been going over there to get the school involved somehow or to get field trips for them to go on,” Espinoza said. Students can purchase pumpkins Sunday through Saturday. The patch is open until, in Espinoza’s words, “it’s too dark to see the pumpkins.”
