Texas A&M starting Safety Typail McMullen was kicked off the team last
week for academic reasons. McMullen had started 11 of 12 games for A&M
in 1995, and was a needed veteran in a secondary that lacks experience.
This could be a big blow to Texas A&M's chances this year, unless some
of the talented underclassmen step it up a notch. Oh well, at least
there was no cheating this time.

From what I read in the paper, all of the coaches said that McMullen was
in good academic standing, but that he had broken some other team rule.
None of them would disclose anything more, though. It was actually another
player (Andre Williams) who speculated that the reason might be academics.

From what I understand, it has something to do with the fact that he
doesn't have enough hours to be a senior. He would have been eligible
had he passed a physics course that he took this summer. In essence, he
is being penalized for having a hard major(Industrial Eng), IMHO. You
can still be in good academic standing gradewise, and still not have
enough hours to be a senior, which is the case with McMullen as I
understand it.
We may never know the real truth, as coaches are forbidden under NCAA
rules to discuss such matters publicly.

I hope you're right, shoe shine boy. You think Jackie Sherrill would
come back? If A&M ever had any glory days, it was when Jackie was
coach.

Is this person still on RSFC, and could he post 1996's

I think that anybody named "Typail" should be on the "All Name Team"
I also heard somewhere that the Colons (ie. Chris & Kevin) have also quit
the team. Is this true? Wasn't Cris Colon the asswipe that badmouthed

I've heard that the backup QB Kevin Colon had transferred to TCU, but I
hadn't heard about Chris Colon, the Linebacker. No big loss on either
count though. Neither of them would've played a down this year. A&M is
too deep at LB and QB for the Colons to matter.
As for the badmouthing Makovic part, I don't know. I do know that
neither of the brothers has the best reputation as a team player,
though.

I had heard of McMullen's academic prowness in a round about manner.
Somewhere in the discussion was the phrase "dumb as a rock."

He was smart enough to stay in school as a Engineering major for 4 years
and not flunk out. That doesn't necessarily make him extremely smart,
but it tells me that he at least has something up top. I seriously
doubt he's as dumb as a rock. I may be wrong, though. You never know
what kind of "tutoring" A&M offers.

Just curious. When did K. Colon decide to transfer to TCU? Last I
heard, he was getting equal snap time with Stewart during spring
drills and the coaches were saying that there was no clear starter at
that point. (Of course, everyone knows coachspeak.)

Neither did Typail.

My favorite name of the current year (besides those vowel-laden names
that always give announcers so much trouble, like RT Iosefa Pua'auli

a name like Javelin he sounds more like a WR or maybe QB than a CB...

He was my favorite football coach at A&M. Not very
many people realize it, but A&M pays homage to him
every midnight yell practice! Believe it or not,
midnight yell practice used to be in front of
Henderson Hall. If I remember correctly, it
was Emory Bellard who suggested moving midnight
yell practice elsewhere!
My recollection, somewhat hazy due to passage
of time is that he wasn't thrilled with the
performance of the team (we won 3 and lost 8
that year) and also with the way the players
would hang out the windows and throw things
at the crowd (mostly rolls of toilet paper).
So part of the way through the 1972 season, he
suggested finding someplace else to hold it and
so it was moved to Kyle Field.
Eric Johnson
* Kevin Colon has supposedly transferred. I had heard that he is
transferring
to a smaller college in MO, although TCU seemed to be the logical
choice.
* Chris Colon was kicked off of the team for steroids abuse. Rumor has
it that
Colon's helmet will not be the only one to roll. Chris would have
been a
contributor on special teams and provided quality depth at OLB. He's
not a
significant loss. He is not the punk that trashed Mackovic a couple
of years
back. That was Ross McCoy, who we lovingly referred to as the
"Lovell
Pinkney of A&M." McCoy, a December grad, was homesick for his
girlfriend
and left school before the semester ended. He and his chick were
supposed
to join the Army (how romantic).
* Typhail is a loss no matter how you slice it. The magnitude depends
on who
all shows up (literally & figuratively) in August. There have been
rumors
swirling around since just after signing day that A&M was going to get
Chris
McAlister, a JUCO-AA DB (6'2", 187, 4.4) out of Mt. Sac. Apparently
there
is some Pac-10 glitch with his HS transcript. About 2 weeks ago, I
heard
it was a done deal, and lately, its more than likely. If he is not
available, Shun
Horn, who was recently moved back to CB from safety, will probably be
the
man. Also, several of the incoming frosh, especially Brandon
Jennings, now
have the op to step up and be counted. McAlister originally signed
with AZ
in Feb. Mt. Sac is becoming a pipeline for A&M, sending Jimmie Irby
last
year and JUCO-AA CB Eric Jennings this year.

Hmmm. I'm not sure about this. Why would a coach let his players stay
up past midnight on the night before a game?
How ever midnight yell got to Kyle Field, I would not say it is a
tribute to Emory (I don't pass) Bellard.
>So he might go to UT, instead?
He is not eligible there yet. Upon reaching the age of 30, he can apply.
