OPINION
Freedom Bowl proves Mickey really can fly
Ah freedom, that abstract
concept that all of us here in
the United States of America
cherish so fondly. Hut what
does it mean really — especial
Iv in connection with the Free
dom Bowl in Anaheim.
Unless you were on the foot
ball team, the band or a mem
ber of the press covering the
game, nothing was free.
The smog-filled highways
known as the Los Angeles area
offered many activities to kill
time before and after the game.
Of course there is the obligato
ry trip to Disneyland — where
you get to pay $27.50 to hang
out with sweaty kids wearing
costumes reminiscent of acid
flashbacks.
Disneyland, also known as
the happiest place on Karth, ob
viously caters to people who
enjoy standing in lines and go
ing to malls the day before
Christmas. The best part of the
theme park was when Alice in
Wonderland gave Mickey some
mushrooms. He climbed to the
top of Space Mountain claim
ing he could fly. swooped
down off the rollercoaster, bit
off Coofy’s head and spit it into
the Ix>s Angeles River.
A word of warning about the
Park. They have a crack securi
ty team seeking out and and re
moving anyone who is just too
happy for the happiest place on
Karth. So be careful.
One overly-happy tourist was
strapped into the Pirates of the
Caribbean ride while not being
allowed to show that he was
bored after the first 30 seconds
— truly inhumane.
Parties, official and unoffi
cial, abounded in the land of
real suntans and non-peroxided
blonde hair. One Luncheon fea
tured long lines, limited seat
ing. a buffet of cold-cuts and
beers costing an additional $4
each for a mere pittance of
$18.50 admission — a bargain
at twice the price. The Alumni
Association has received sever
al complaints and is asking for
an apology from the people
who catered the event.
Hut, to really get the spirit of
the Freedom Howl you have to
talk to Colorado State's mascot,
the ram. He has the best deal of

cluding meals and a place to
live, and all he has to do is run
up and down the side lines
when the team scores. Of
course, no one has ever asked
the ram if he would rather feed
himself and find his own place
to sleep, but it sounds like a
good deal to me.
It is also rumored that after
the game the ram was the main
course at a $100 a plate fund
stadium.
While staring at tin; backs of
the band’s uniforms was spiri
tually uplifting, it certainly
wasn't worth the cost of their
southern migration It would
have bean cheaper to play a
Milli Vanilli tape, set the uni
forms on a bunch of coat racks
out on the field and let the ram
rearrange them periodically.
Obviously, the biggest let
down of the Freedom Bowl was

raiser to think of a mascot that
isn't already being used by a
professional team. Duck fans
accustomed to paying $18 T>0
for cold cuts, snapped up all
the tickets to the event minutes
after they went on sale.
Another good deal was re
ceived by the Oregon marching
Hand. The band got an all-ex
pense paid trip to the bowl
game and hardly had to play a
note. The tradition of playing
"Louie. Louie" after all Duck
touchdowns was not contin
ued And (luring the halftime

bother to play one song facing

were they loo cool to do the
wave, they got out-screamed hv
half as many Colorado State
fans. Anyone can yell for a
winning effort, but the team
needs the most support when
they are down on their luck.
Maybe next year if the Ducks
go to a bowl game, we can bus
in fans from Oregon State.
They're used to cheering when
their team is behind
On a side note: Thanks to
Coach brooks for going for two
points instead of settling for
one I don't believe anyone
traveled to Anaheim to watch
the game end in a tie.
