team was preparing for their
biggest game of the season. They
had a group of seniors who had
never tasted a Civil War victory.
And they had a group of fans who
had been subjected to Duck fans,
who laughed at the thought of the
Ducks losing.
Oregon State has been embar
rassed by Oregon for years and
this year it was ready to turn the
table.
So I sat through the first cele
bration, when the Beavers
thought they had clinched the
win after Akili Smith’s fourth
down pass to Donald Haynes fell
to the ground. Oregon State fans
spilled onto the field and the
barflies sang that god awful fight
song. But Oregon had one more
chance to redeem itself, as cor
nerback Andrae Holland was
called for pass interference.
"Sit down Beaver fans,” I
thought. Now the Ducks will real
ize the immediacy and finish
this. However, the confidence I
had before was almost nonexis
tent. For every Oregon touch
down I cheered, there were 100
Beaver freaks cheering every Ore
gon State advance.
So I sat no longer. I tried to es
cape, but just as the fans at Park
er Stadium stormed the field,
these drunk, ecstatic, victorious
for-the-first-time-in-four-years
fans piled out of the bar and
onto the street. They yelled in
my face as if I didn’t just sit
through the entire game with
them. What could I say to quiet
these overzealous Oregon State
fans?
“Bowl Game?”
They wouldn’t care. This was
their bowl game. This was their
biggest game of the season.
Want to escape
those winter blues?

Women hit the road for Colorado
By Joel Hood
Oregon Daily Emerald
Having had its fill of home
cooking for a while, the Oregon
women’s basketball team takes to
the road for the first time this sea
son to play Colorado tonight at 6
p.m. at the Coors Event Center in
Boulder, Colo.
Oregon (2-1) completed its
three-game home stand at
McArthur Court on Sunday with
a 76-58 victory against Idaho. In
that game, forward Angelina
Wolvert led all scorers with 16
points and helped spark a 20-2
Duck run in the second half.
Sharing the spotlight, center
Jenny Mowe tallied the second
double-double of her career,
recording 14 points and a game
high 10 rebounds.
However, after the game Mowe
said playing on the road will of
fer a different set of challenges.
“I think we’re
still trying new
things, trying to
shake things
up,” Mowe
said. “This will
be a good test
for us. It was
nice naving noine games iu sian
the season, but we’ve got to hit
the road sometime.”
The Buffaloes (1-1) return
eight letter winners from last
season’s 12-16 team. Head coach
Ceal Barry has posted a 303-155
record at Colorado in 15 seasons
and has led the team to eight
NCAA Tournament appear
ances. Barry has been particular
ly tough on the Ducks in recent
years as Oregon has dropped two
straight to Colorado, the last de
feat a 92-71 decision in Boulder
in 1994.
One area the Ducks hope to
have the advantage in is defense,
where Oregon has held oppo
nents to just 61.3 points per
game. After two games, Col
orado’s opponents have aver
aged 71 points per game. But
don’t expect the Ducks to domi
nate on the boards as they have
in their three previous games.
The Buffaloes are out-rebound
ing their opponents by an aver
age of six per game this season.
