Show Page 10 THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, Thursday, November 15, 1979 Pat Edwards 5ll Pleasures, Pressures Of Being Number 10 The pleasures and pressures of being ranked in the elite top ten are satisfying and intense. Schools such as Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Southern California, Michigan, Ohio State, Arkansas, and Notre Dame have dominated the top ten the past four decades.

Last Friday night when the d Cougars arrived at the stadium to play, they were greeted by a group of LDS missionaries who waved and cheered as the busses passed through the gate. These young missionaries were proud of the Cougar football team and glad to be identified with it. This touched me, because it made me think about another young missionary in Canada who is also interested in BYU llth-ranke- The longer a team goes undefeated the more intense the pressure becomes.
