- subject : press release from kyle field
- college station , tx ( ap ) - r . c . slocum and the texas a & m aggies are
- demanding a recount of the game in which oklahoma won 35 to 31 . " the end
- zones were confusing , " says slocum . " i ' m sure that some of the touchdowns
- that went in oklahoma ' s end zone were meant to go into ours . we were
- scoring in those end zones also . oklahoma would never have scored
- thirty - five points . there ' s no way we lost this one . a & m demands a
- recount . "
- oklahoma officials are calling this " outrageous " . " they agreed to the size ,
- shape and locations of the end zones prior to kick - off , " replies ou coach
- bob stoops . " if they had a problem with them , they should have said so
- before we started . you don ' t get to keep playing until you ' re happy with
- the outcome . someone had to lose . we ' ve scored over thirty - five points
- many times . "
- a & m has sent lawyers , farmers , and those guys in the funny boots as well as
- that damn dog down to kyle field , where the scoreboard will be tested . " we
- are confident that when the points are re - totaled , we will be the winner of
- the game , " says slocum .
- ou also points out that in many games prior to this one , the same end zones
- were used . " they didn ' t have a problem with the end zones until they lost , "
- says stoops .
- outside of kyle field , a & m student protesters have gathered outside bearing
- signs such as , " a & m wants a fair game ! whoooooop ! " students ' thoughts
- echoed their signs . " all we want is a fair total of the points before we
- declare a winner , " says student karen hays , an aggie from marfa . " we need
- to proceed cautiously and not rush to judgment before we declare a winner . "
- abc , around 2 : 00 pm central time , had mistakenly declared a & m the winner ,
- despite the slim 3 point lead the aggies held at that point . at about 2 : 30
- pm , with the game still too close to call , abc had to back off its
- prediction .
- college football analyst brent musburger made the call . " we felt that with
- a number of points still not added in by jamaar tombs and the aggies , we
- were certain a & m would carry this game . we may have been premature in our
- prediction . "
