Hart, the new guy is Chris Dudley. Dudley came from New Jersey, and Port land spent the entire summer try ing to justify Dudley's contract, which will allow Dudley to raise his salary substantially after this season.

You're right, a lot of people are picking the Blazers to win it all. a lot of stupid people. Every sea son. people say this is Portland’s last chant* to win a title, and this year was no exception.

Last season, the Blazers lost in the first round, and it was no accident Look for the Blazers to win just more than 40 games and lose in the first round again. Letter #2: I was watching the Oregon football team play Ari zona this weekend and missed what I heard was a really great light between two boxers. Why didn't anybody tell me about the fight? - Mr Van Driessen Professor. 1960s Education Reply: You may be ignorant, fnit you're not as dumb as the rest of us who made the decision to watch the Ducks rather than pay the $40 to see fhe Ridick Bowe Kvander Holyfield title fight, which started about the same time as the Ducks game. You have an excuse: At least you didn't know the fight was on. The rest of us knew about the fight, but opted to watch Oregon, thinking the Ducks would win and the fight would lie lame. Instead, the Ducks got pum meled and the Bowe-Holyfield matchup turned into one of the craziest fights in history. Three people (although neither of the boxers) got carted off on stretch ers, and some idiot parachuted into the ropes and got his butt kicked by the fans. That's enter tainment Meanwhile. Duck fans sat and watched Arizona build a 21-0 lead at halftime and then were forced by embarrassment to swit< h the channel and watch Full Housr and Saved tty The Hell The College Years until the Saturday night parties got going. .Vote If you have really stupid questions about sports, or even not so stupid questions, write to me and bring the letters to the Emerald office I'll trv to answer them occasionally in my column.
