f Hansen: Aloha committee snoozing

son that California got the nod was because of the
supposed drawing power of Bears’ quarterback Pat
Barnes.
“It just came down to Pat Barnes, ” Klompus said.
“You know, he’s probably going to be playing on
Sundays next year, and its an opportunity for the
people here to see him play in our Bowl game.”
Hmm. Once again, I must reiterate that the Aloha
Bowl representative must have been snoozing dur
ing the Oregon-Califomia game when the Ducks
sacked Barnes six times and held him to mediocre
numbers.
Has Barnes really reached that level of superstar
dom where just his name alone will bring droves of
people to the stadium just to catch a glimpse of a
budding NFL player?
Peyton Manning or Jake Plummer he is not. Be
sides, from what I understand, Barnes is begging the
NCAA to give him a fifth year of eligibility so he can
stay at California next year. Obviously somebody
doesn’t think he is good enough for the pros yet.
When asked how the size of each team’s fan base
and the difference between Eugene and the Bay Area
factored into the decision, Klompus’ answer was
confusing.
“Oregon’s reputation forgoing to Bowls and the
way they bring their fan base along is excellent,” she
admitted. “They have always been rated a 10 on a
scale of one to 10.”
But then she followed that up with the comment,
“We were just trying to put more people in seats on
Christmas morning. We do have a 50,000 seat stadi
um to fill."
If Oregon has been given the highest mark possible
on her rating scale, then she shouldn't have to be
worried about filling the stands with Duck fans. So I
guess fan support wasn’t a factor because Oregon has
terrific support from its fans who will travel, but it
was a factor because Aloha Bowl officials were wor
ried about filling seats. What?
Equally as frustrating is when Klompus said that
the Ducks’ loss to the University of Hawaii back in
1994 also was a factor.
“Oregon was here a couple of years ago and got
beat by UH,” Klompus said, “which is a very big
measuring stick over here.”
Are you kidding me! In case they have forgotten,
the Ducks went on to the Rose Bowl that season.
Plus, that was three seasons ago.
The saddest part of this is the message that it sends
to the players on the team. It doesn’t matter how you
finish, or who you beat, or by how much. College
football is about politics, money and TV ratings, and
unless you have a player on your team whose name
carries some weight, you’re not going to get very far.

Basketball: Aztecs possess
strong backcourt players

Nelson, who averaged 11.6 points
and 2.8 rebounds last season.
After studying the different
Oregon lineups during the exhibi
tion season, Green will start for
ward Kyle Milling, center Rob Ra
maker, guard Kenya Wilkins, and
guard Jamal Lawrence. But as of
before Monday night’s practice,
the fifth spot had yet to be deter
mined. Green said that either Ja
mar Curry, Henry Madden or
Terik Brown would be chosen af
ter the Monday’s practice to fill
the fifth spot.
Green also said the team has
had good practices since the
Lithuania game.
“It’s been good, very competi
tive, and we’ve been working very
hard,” he said. “We’ve been trying
to get things down better to a fi
nite state. We’re ready to play.
We’ve had 31 practices, so it’s
time.”
The Ducks also spent the prac
tice time working on their weak
nesses from the Lithuania game.
After two exhibition games
against teams that were virtually
unknown to Oregon, the Aztecs
are only a little more familiar to
the Ducks.
“We know a little bit about
their tendencies,” Green said.
“We know that their strength rests
in their guards. They both had 22
points in the first game they
played [against UC Irvine], Their
biggest surprise was their power
forward on Saturday. He had 20
points in 19 minutes of playing
time.”
Oregon will not be taking San
Diego State lightly.
“They are coming up to play a
Pac-10 school, I’m sure they’ll be
ready to play,” Green said.
But the Ducks are excited about
finally starting the regular season.
“[This game] sticks on the
record, it’s not just a warm up,”
Green said. “I think everyone is a
little more fired up and we hope
we’ll have more fans here than
we’ve had [in the exhibition
games]. We feel like our players
will be more excited about play
ing.”
