Hard-luck Lady Huskers get a break
By Jeff Griesch
Senior Reporter
In a season dominated by bad news,
the Nebraska women’s basketball
team finally heard a little good news
Tuesday.
Tina McClain, who injured her
left knee Sunday against Oklahoma
State, found out she had only strained
the medial collateral ligament and
did not tear any ligaments.
The injury will keep McClain out
of the lineup for a week to 10 days,
but she was relieved it wasn’t longer.
“At first when I went down, I
thought I had tom it,” McClain said.
“After the trainers started looking at
it and moving it, I was thinking more
positively that it wasn’t a tear.”
The sophomore guard’s injury
could not have come at a worse time
for the Huskers.
“We were already in
trouble. ”
TINA MCCLAIN
NU women's guard
Nebraska plays Missouri Friday
and Colorado Sunday at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center. Missouri won
the Big Eight tournament, and Colo
rado won die regular-season title last
season.
The Huskers are in desperate need
of a win after stumbling to an 0-4
conference start.
Nebraska will miss McClain’s 11
points and 7 rebounds per game, but
the Huskers have grown accustomed
to playing shorthanded this season.
Emily Thompson is out for the
season with a knee injury.
Tanya Upthegrove has missed
eight games because of an twice
injured groin and appendicitis.
Lis Brenden and Roquayyah
Brown have been slowed by sprained
ankles, and Chris Dillavou and Pyra
Aarden also have suffered from shin
splints and sprained ankles.
Along with the injuries, Dina
Haselip quit school and Belinda
Bynum left the team.
“We were already in trouble. With
me out it is going to make it even
harder on everybody else against
Missouri and Colorado,” McClain
said. “But I have confidence in my
teammates, and I know they will give
it everything they have this week
end.”
St. Louis rams its way into the NFL
L.A. owners relieved
of team and debt
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Seven years
ago, St. Louis lost a bad NFL team.
On Tuesday, the city got one back.
The Los Angeles Rams, 4-12 in
1994, made it official:
They’re leaving Southern California
for St. Louis.
“I’m overwhelmed,” Rams owner
Georgia Frontiere said at a news con
ference to announce the move and
the addition of Columbia, Mo., busi
nessman Stan Kroenke as minority
owner. “I don’t think I’ve been this
happy since the last game we won.”
The expected announcement of
the move was made in a news confer
ence Tuesday by St. Louis Mayor
Freeman Bosley Jr.
“Today is a great day for this
community,” Bosley said. ‘‘For the
last nine months, we have been work
ing around the clock trying to bring
NFL football to St. Louis.”
If the league approves, pro foot
ball will return to the city the Cardi
nals abandoned for Arizona in 1987.
‘Today is the day that the dream
of a team of our own is now a reality,”
Bosley said. “The St. Louis Rams —
how sweet it is.”
St. Louis is certainly hoping for
better things this time. After endur
ing the pratfalls of Bill Bidwill’s
Cardinals for 28 seasons and zero
playoff victories, they will get a team
that historically has been a contender
but hasn’t fielded a winner in five
seasons. In 1993, they were 5-11.
The year before they were 6-10.
Tne cost for this also ran steep.
St. Louis beat out Baltimore and a
group from Anaheim, Calif., called
“Save the Rams” because of a deal
that could yield $20 million in annual
profits for the Rams.
For starters, the Rams will get a
new $260 million domed stadium,
“Today is the day that th
own is now a reality. 77,
sweet
FREEMAN I
St. Loui
deemed the “most spectacular sta
dium on the planet Earth” by St.
Louis County Executive Buzz
Westfall.
They’ll get to choose from three
sites for a $15 million practice facil
ity, and their annual lease will be
only $250,000.
St. Louis is also retiring the Rams’
$30 million debt to Anaheim and
paying $15 million in assorted relo
cation fees.
“They always say money is a
means to an end,” Frontiere said.
“This time, money is a means to a
beginning”
The Rams had been projected to
lose $6 million this past season. Now
there’s so much money, the arrange
ment may have the appearance of a
modem-day holdup.
Former Missouri Sen. Thomas
Eagleton, who led the negotiations
for the St. Louis civic group FANS
Inc., thinks not.
“It’s expensive to get a team,”
Eagleton said. “No team is going to
say, ‘Here we are,’ for free.”
As a cost analysis, Eagleton said
Chicago was spending $32 million to
hold the Democratic National Con
vention in 1996 for one week, but St.
Louis will be getting the Rams for at
least 30 years — the length of the
lease.
“I think a football team is the
better bargain,” Eagleton said.
e dream of a team of our
\e St. Louis Rams— how
it is. ”
i
iOSUEY JR.
s Mayor
Of course, the spending frenzy
isn’t over yet. For the capper, FANS
Inc. will unveil details of its perma
nent seat license program Wednes
day with which it hopes to raise $60
$70 million.
Those seats will go from $250
$4,500, depending on location, and
must be purchased before buying sea
son tickets that will sell for an aver
age of $25-$45 a game. If St. Louis
doesn’t sell 40,000 permanent seats
by March 10, two days before NFL
owners meet in Phoenix to vote on
the switch, the Rams can call the
whole thing off.
Kroenke paid Frontiere about $60
million for about 40 percent of the
team. He said he was confident the
fans would come through.
“I’d like to show the owners and
the national media that this is a foot
ball town,” Kroenke said.
Bosley, Eagleton, who headed the
FANS Inc. effort to lure the Rams,
U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo.,
and other officials then signed an
oversized “relocation agreement.”
“I have waited and wanted this
day to happen for a long time,”
Gephardt said. This proves, he said,
that “St. Louis is a big-league town.”
“Let me tell you, we proved to
gether the naysayers wrong. I am
confident professional football is
going to be a huge success in this
town.”

Winget, the Huskers win the
Midwest Regional, advancing to
Omaha for the first time ever.
Nebraska then loses to Creighton
12-0 in the NCAA title game.
Husker coach John Sanders
complains of rules violations by the
Bluejays’ program.
July 31 — Almost one full year
after going on strike. Major League
baseball players return, leaving
hundreds of replacements players
in disarray and unemployed. In a
strange twist of fate, San Diego and
Seattle appear headed toward the
World Series, if only the real
players can hold on.
August 19 — Tom Osborne,
mired in a heated quarterback
controversy, fakes a nervous
breakdown, leaving the QB
decision to assistant coach Turner
Gill. Gill, who acts as the offensive
coordinator for Nebraska’s first two
games, names Monte Christo the
starting quarterback.
September 9 — Christo is
pulled in favor of Tommie Frazier
during the first quarter of the .
season opener at Michigan State.
The Huskers win 42-3. After the
game, Jim waiaen is quoted as
saying that the Huskers could “kick
the tar out of the San Francisco
49ers.” Osborne has another
breakdown. This time he’s not
faking.
October 28 — Osborne, in his
second game back, reaches into his
bag of tricks, playing Lawrence
Phillips at quarterback and Frazier
at I-back for two series in the
second quarter. Freshman Ahman
Green, who has moved up to No. 2
on the depth chart, rushes for 160
yards as Nebraska hands new
Colorado coach Rick Neuheisel his
first loss.
December 21 — The volleyball
team travels to Cleveland (wow!)
to play in its first Final Four since
1990. The Huskers defeat Penn
State in the semifinals but run into
a brick wall in the championship
match against Stanford.
December 22 — The Husker
football team leaves for Phoenix to
play Florida in the-Fiesta Bowl for
the national title. The outcome of
the game cannot be disclosed,
because it doesn’t take {dace in
1995. You’ll have to wait until this
time next year to find if the
Huskers can repeat.
