Yes, not since the early weeks of July has there been a weekend when an NFL game, whether exhibition, regular season, wild card, or playoff, has not been played. Now it alt boils down to two teams and 60 minutes in the New Orleans Superdome this Sunday. And while there may have been a small number of astute fans who gazed into the crystal ball and saw the Philadelphia Eagles reaching Super Bowl XV, very few if any, saw the black and silver of the Oakland Raiders across the line of scrimmage. The Raiders, the most successful franchise in the league over the past decade, were given little chance of getting to the playoffs when helmets and pads were donned back in July. In fact, the biggest story in Oakland was not that the Raiders had made a trade for the likes of Kenny King, but that they had gotten rid of "The Snake," quarterback, Ken Stabler, who had been at war with owner A1 Davis for the past year. The man the Raiders had wanted and who was the key to the Stabler deal was Dan Pastorini. And while Stabler was costing Bum Phillips his job in Houston - after Phillips had given up two top draft choices to get Stabler's tight man Dave Casper - Pastorini was doing tne best tning he could for the Raiders, getting his leg broken. Although none of the Oakland players would come right out and say it, many felt that had Pastorini not sustained the inquiry the Raiders would not be going to New Orleans this weekend.The injury to Pastorini gave Jim Plunkett, the league's top draft choice in 1970, a chance to resurrect his nearly tragic career and the melting pot blooded signal caller took full advantage of the opportunity. While Pastorini was healing and Stabler was going to Casper in every crucial situation and throwing more interceptions that anybody in the league, save Richard Todd of the Jets, because of it, Plunkett was using the big play to win for the Raiders. King, meanwhile, the forgotten man in the deal, was havinc a suner vear. Had not an ininrv clnu/#?d him Hnu/n he would have reached the 1,000 yard mark in his second season of pro ball after carrying the pigskin on but three occasions for the Oilers last year. Yes, now that it has come down to but two teams after some seven months of football. A1 Davis is sitting back smiling, Kenny King is ready to play for a Super Bowl ring, Plunkett has regained his confidence and saved his career, Phillips is hoping to land a job in New Orleans himself, Pastorini is still fighting with Houston reporters and Stabler is looking for someone to blame for his dismal performance this year. Without Cliff Branch to blame for dropping passes it won't be as easy this time. As for my pick in the Super Bowl, the feeling here is that it will be a tossup. Oakland has a sound and experienced offensive line, and King is a definite threat. Plunkett, however, may find it hard to believe that Roynell Young is a rookie since he may heed an extra second to find a receiver in Young's territory. The ability of Jerry Robinson to cover the short pass will also be a problem for the Oakland quarterback. Ron Jaworski will likewise have trouble keeping Lester Hayes from stealing his passes and Ted Hendricks does a great impression of either a linebacker or tackle. Harold Carmichael or Wilbert Montgomery will give the Eagles the title, however, in another typical low scoring defense dominated, conservatively played contest. And then the wait begins until next July. \ e state at Black College delphia Pharmacy - HOME jton. . . . . . ... 766 1 1 ME AC ilk State 54 * SWAC i Last Week's Winston-Sai s?rhf ld\l VSin1 i* ht for FSU with a 6-1 league mark and cethia Smith leads the team 12-1 overall. of the Lady Bronco in scorSenior Tri-Captain Steve ing with a 16.2 average and Mims, a CIAA candidate, is Dianthfa Morris, a junior leading the Bronco-men in guard, is second with a 15.2 ? scoring with a 16.2 clip.
