third one, but there was one puppy
left. My fiance fell in love with it
and now we have three.
“Now we’re going to have them
for a long time.”
Gustafson is not always as in
love with the dogs as Robinson.
She often has a shorter fuse when
it comes to their noise and ruckus
than her roommate. According to
Robinson, Gustafson yells at them
more than anyone else.
“Sometimes I want peace and
quiet,” Gustafson said. “And
Pumpkin is always in the blinds
barking.”
“Yeah, she always has her head
in the blinds, looking out of the
window,” Robinson added. “Try
ing to protect our house.”
Robinson said the dogs are al
most therapeutic for them because
they always love the roommates
no matfer what’s going on in the
rest of the world or life.
“They don’t care if we’re having
a bad day,” Robinson said. “They
just want to love us and kiss us.”
Onlivingwith ‘Gus’
The two teammates Eire almost
inseparable. They live together,
play together and hang out togeth
er. They never seem to get in each
others’ way. Robinson said that
living with her teammate is pretty
relaxing for the most part.
“Both Andrea and my fiance
have it made in the shade,” Robin
son said. “They’ll watch the game
on T.V. and I’ll cook for them and
serve them..” Robinson said that
she can hardly get to watch any
thing she wants on television be
cause Gustafson and her fianc6 are
always watching either WCW
wrestling or the Trail Blazers.
However, she does enjoy viewing
the occasional Ricki Lake or Jenny
Jones with her roommate, while
consuming pitchers of Kool Aid.
“Those are the shows we watch
together,” Gustafson said. “We
watch that and drink Kool Aid.”
“Yeah, I have to stop drinking
that stuff,” Robinson said. “I drink
too much of that stuff, like a pitch
er a day.”
Gustafson and Robinson also
enjoy the late night hang-out ses
sions where they make each other
laugh. Gustafson said that what
makes Robinson so unique is the
fact that she is random. Robinson
will say something out of the blue
and make everyone laugh.
“The thing about me is that I’m
disgusting; therefore I can’t tell
you why I’m random,” Robinson
said. “That quote right there
should say something. People are
going to say ‘what is wrong with
Jill Robinson?”’
On her fiance
Robinson really doesn’t hold
much back, especially about her
soon-to-be husband. Ryan Wolg
amott was a baseball player at
Western Oregon University when
he met Robinson at a Civil War
party at Oregon State.
According to Robinson, it was
far from love at first sight. In fact,
she didn’t even really think much
of him in the beginning.
“I really didn’t think he was that
good looking when I first saw
him,” Robinson said. “I fell in love
with him on my third date.”
Robinson said that Ryan tries to
be the coach off the field, always
telling her and Gustafson what
they are doing wrong and how to
correct it. She said he’s always
trying to be tough at home.
But Oregon fans will remember
her as a great hitter; her roommate
and fiance will remember her as a
comedian, but all Robinson wants
to be remembered is as a good
person and someone who cared.
“Why leave thqt legacy,” Robin
son saM. “Why be stuck up? Why
not give something back, show
some appreciation.”
Jill Robinson has patrolled center field with authority during the last four years.
Robinson is also a threat on the base paths for the Ducks. Her 11 steals this season are second on the team.
