I never really realized how fair
weather many Oregon fans are
until I watched the Washington
fans support their Huskies. True,
it’s easier to be supportive when
you are winning, but even in the
early moments of Saturday’s
game, it was obvious that even if
the Huskies got killed, their
6,000 fans wouldn’t be the ones
to set up the gallows. Not so
with many Oregon fans.
Part of the reason that I was
so impressed by the section of
Washington rooters was the
band and cheerleaders that wore
the purple and gold of the
Huskies.
Washington's cheerleaders
actually led the Huskies' fans in
cheer after cheer, and
Washington’s band was not only
loud, but obviously high
spirited. They played often, and
played well, and seemed to
spark a lot of the Washington
fans.
The only person who seemed
able to lead Oregon’s fans in any
sort of cheer was that bare
chested guy with the wacky way
of spelling Oregon, while
Oregon’s band seemed so awed
by the Washington band that
they forgot how to play their
instruments.
I know Oregon’s band direc
tor, Steve Paul, is doing
everything he can to upgrade the
Duck’s band, but it’s hard to
work a miracle on a $12,000
budget. And I’m sure the Oregon
cheerleaders have their hearts in
the right place.

Paul Schwabe’s field goal was Oregon’s only score of the day against the Huskies.
But they all seem so used to
losing that they appear to have
given up what they are supposed
to do, which is be a focal point
for a noisy and supportive
Autzen Stadium.
Maybe more money might be
the answer to the case of the
blahs that seem to plague the
two groups. Maybe just the
knowledge that somebody in the
stands cares about what they
are trying to do.
But I have a suspicion that the
answer isn’t that easy.
I think you have to look
deeper. You have to probe at the
consciousness that pervades
this state, a mind set which is
suspicious of anything “big"
and often disturbed by that
bigness becoming successful.
Size reduces the quality of
life, the thought goes in this
state. Big-time football just

doesn’t jive with the laid-back in
dividuality of the majority of
Oregon’s population.
Maybe I’ll have to move to
Seattle to find the kind of col
lege football atmosphere that
makes you look forward to
autumn afternoons. Or maybe if
I stay long enough in Eugene,
Rich Brooks can change the at
titude of a jaded Oregon.
I hope so.
CAN YOU BUY GOOD TASTE?
Yes! Now you can acquire good taste for a
couple of bucks. Just wear shirts and visors
that say "Dos Equis." After all, those
are foreign words. And anyone in college
knows people who wear stuff with foreign
words and alligators have good taste.
So, order your kind of good taste in Dos
Equis sportswear today. And remember to
eat your peanut butter and jelly sand
wiches over the sink.
