Emmit Smith Goes Commercial Thursday, June 24,1993 - THE CHARLOTTE POST - Page9B Continued From Page 7B "Things move so fast In this game. It seems like you never get to know people. HI, I'm Emmltt. Nice to meet you," Smith says as he bowls through a defender. Smith's commercial debut ed last weekend at showings of The Last Action Hero, star ring Arnold Schwarzenegger. SPORTS SHORTS Smith's ad will remain In theaters for three more weeks. But It may be a while before Smith gets to promote the shoes on his main stage. The defending Super Bowl champs haven't signed Smith for the upcoming sea son, though they need him more than ever now that quarterback Troy Alkman underwent back surgery last weekend. Smith also Is featured In the Reebok Preseason Workout Guide, a 12-page booklet de veloped for athletes and coaches preparing for out door team sports.

Baseball • Charlotte Knights vs. Ro chester June 24; Ottawa June 25-27. Football • Charlotte Rage (3-3) vs. Orlando Predators (5-1): June 25 at 8:10 p.m., Char lotte Coliseum. Rage, under first-year coach Steve Pat ton, have lost three In a row after three wins to start sea son. A victory would give the two-year-old franchise a new Fab Five University head coach John Chaney admitted to telling his players to "knock their blocks off." If Michigan's message is the wrong mes sage being sent out, what does that say for Temple? The college years are sup posed to be the best years In life. Now that Webber has left for the NBA, the "Fab Five" will never win a na tional championship. Their failure to win a champion ship shouldn't dim the real ity that they are college stu dents first and that basketball is just a game. To brand them as underachiev ers or failures because they haven't won a title Is terri bly unfair. In two years, they accomplished more than the will In four. As basketball players, this team ranks with the cream of the crop. But, as people, the class they exhibited In defeat Is the stuff champi ons are made of.
