Dear Mom, Dad, Kelli, Tigger
and Bo,
It seems like eternity and a
day since football season. And
yet the year has gone by so
quickly. All that’s left now are
three issues and a million
memories.
Remember, Mom, when I
called you from a telephone
booth in Seattle after nursing
my VW up there for the football
game? I slept in the car, parked
in a campus parking lot because
I wanted to be within walking
distance of the stadium in case
the car wouldn't start again.
It was worth it, though. Hell,
the whole year has been worth
it. Putting out a sports page
every day and a supplement
every week and attending
school was sometimes a royal
pain in the you-know-where.
But every headache was
matched by the fun of getting
the story.
For instance, there was the
USC football game, which end
ed in a 7-7 tie. I went into the
Trojan locker room to get a few
quotes. It was like walking
through a forest of shaved gor
illas. For some reason, I had
second thoughts about direct
ing a negative question to
someone who could break my
neck between his thumb and
forefinger.
Later in the season, I went to
Corvallis for the Civil War game.
I got stuck sitting next to Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Miller. The latter
cheerleaded through the entire
contest. As you would say, Kelli,
it was a total bummer.
Basketball was much more
fun than football for one reason
— Jim Haney. The man is
personable, precise and a real
crack-up when things are going
well.
Too bad things didn't go too
well too often. For instance,
there was that loss to Stanford
when Oregon came within two
fouls of having only four availa
ble players. After the game,
Haney talks with his team, then
goes to the track locker room to
meet with the press.
He sat on a bench, looking
down and rubbing the back of
his neck. Someone asked the
inevitable question, “What
would happen if only four

players remained?" Haney
knew the answer, but just mut
tered, "I don’t know, I don’t
know.”
Basketball was OK, but it was
hog heaven time when track
started. I must have driven
Dawn crazy blathering about
how excited I was before the
year’s first dual meet.
Track offered its share of light
moments. At the Northwest
championships, hurdler Kris
Costello walloped the second
barrier in the 100 race and
dropped out. Later in the day, I
was taking pictures at the finish
line when she walked by.
I must have given her a pitiful,
consoling look, because she
reached out, grabbed my
cheeks and pulled my face into
a grin “C'mon, smile!,” she
said.
That’s what makes this job so
fun, Dad. Athletes aren’t
athletes, they’re people. People
such as football’s Choo Choo
Young, basketball's "Fast Fred
die” Cofield and track’s Karen
McDonald make it all
worthwhile. They have charisma
and enthusiasm, in addition to
their physical abilities. •
That’s what it’s all about —
people. And there sure have
been a lot of them imprisoned
on my notepad over the past
year.
Maybe I’m getting a little sen
timental. But then maybe I have
a right to be.
Take care, everybody. See
you in a week or so.
Love, Jody
