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 darn 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 2:00pm 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."
