Lady Ducks Jttf PASISAV fmnu Oregon's Renae Fegent (43) combined (or 44 points and five blocked shots over the weekend as the Ducks beat Illinois 72 55, but (ell to Drake 76-67 In the Pepsi Shootout at Mac Court METZ Continued from Page 11 This is not to sny that Oregon shouldn’t be promt of its post season achievements in the past six years, but let's be realistic at least. Penn State has been to bowls the last 19 of 21 years, including two national champi unships. Not too bad, eh' Personally, I think Downey's sarcastic assessment of the Ducks’ chances to defeat Penn State on Jan. 2 was a < lever, and even funny piece He wrote. “Oregon is to football what Lin da McCartney is to rex k n' roll Now that's original I get the point. I’m only left to assume then that Oregon State would lx Debbie Gibson. As for Murray’s column, every body knows that he is Joe Pater no anyway. I know that's him Just look at the mug. man. Murray's assessment of the Ducks is not only painfully obvi ous, but l think he stole those childish insults from that note that I passed to mv buddy in six ond grade when my Franklin Fie mentary Bison played our dread ed cross-town rivals — the Lin coln ' Stinkin'' Bulldogs. That's really funny when he says that they should give the Ducks more downs and give them more points and . . . some body please make him quit About the only thing that offend ed me was his lack of originality or for that matter, a point One theory has it that Murray is a closet Duck fan himself, and his latest commentary is sup posed to lie so overtly offending so as to rally the Ducks and their fans all the more. But who really cares what his intentions were? So, as you see Duck Ians, there is really no reason to get all up in arms about these guys and their opinions Writing biting letters to them and getting nil upset altout it inexactly what they want and it validates their points These reactions are exactly what makes them write such things and makes them "good" writers So in the words of .ST's Austin Murphy, it's time to "c hill" The Rose Howl will not he dec ided in the papers, nor will it he dec ided by ESPN's rotting Beano Cook and his incredibly dull commentary. It will be decoded on )un. 2 between the Pac-tO Champions and the Big Ten Champions. Just trust me on this one Stranger things have happened than the Oregon Due ks heating the Penn State Nittany Lions Marion Berry is still in politic s. isn't he? The Hegister Guard's Run Bel lamy made u good point in his column on Friday He w rote that all this silly c ommentary plays right into Oregon's hands I liken it to (and I'm sure )osh Wilcox would too) when no one thought Rocky could beat Apol lo Here was tins ugly c hunk of a man fighting the odds against a sleek. well-oiled fighting machine Well 1 hate to tell you. hut the Ducks are not the sleek fighting machine But 1 can also tell you that I'd rather have Wilcox, Sitila Malepeai or Chad Cota on my side than anybody from Penn State or the L A Times for that matter Now it's not my nature to make any predictions in print, hut I will also admit that 1 have forgotten what it is like for the Ducks to lose And in the face of such widespread skeptn ism, I'm in no mood to remember.
