were assured at the time that this
bid would be for Eugene only,
and that Medford would follow.”
He said he was “shocked at the
revelation ... that exposure in
Medford was a significant con
tributor in the award decision.”
He noted in his letter that if he
had known the importance of the
market he would have formed a
partnership with the Medford
station and bid accordingly.
“I believe we won the mone
tary bid,” Weinkauf said. “This is
an honest dispute. I think the
bidding should be reopened as it
has in the past.”
Another interesting side note
in all of this is the status of KVAL
sports director Todd McKim,
who is the television voice of the
Ducks. He actually began work
ing at KEZI in 1980 as sports di
rector before moving over to
KVAL in 1991 to continue broad
casting Oregon athletics.
The year 2000 marked
McKim’s 20th season hosting the
weekly football and basketball
coaches show, but as Nagy was
quick to point out, it doesn’t
mean that he will automatically
be the first choice to host them
on KEZI.
“Todd and I have talked ini
tially, but we haven’t talked since
Weinkauf’s letter,” Nagy said.
“Todd will be given a chance to
announce and host the shows,
but so will everybody else.”
That news might surprise
some, but Nagy said that new
faces can sometimes be a change
for the better.
“We want to enhance the prod
uct,” Nagy said. “We kind of feel
that the coaches shows have
been a little dull and have looked
into making some changes. It’s a
lot like a football program that
hasn’t been bad, but has just
stayed the same. Sometimes a
new coach is what you need.”
Some preliminary improve
ment ideas for the coaches shows
that Nagy and his staff have
come up with include making it
more fast paced, having a live au
dience, taking phone calls from
viewers and making the show in
teractive via the Internet.
In all, the bid grants Chambers
Communications exclusive
rights to televise Oregon football
and men’s and women’s basket
ball, as well as the 21 weekly
coaches shows. On top of that,
the agreement includes that KEZI
produce preseason and postsea
son recaps of the three varsity
programs and extensive highlight
videos of their seasons. They also
have agreed to produce three
half-hour reviews that recap the
achievements of Oregon’s 13 oth
er varsity programs.
Of course, this is all pending
on the status of KVAL’s protest,
which is still being reviewed by
Grier.
Woods leads the pack by a long-shot
By Doug Ferguson
The Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The
next stop on Tiger Woods’ record
breaking run into history takes
him to the home of golf.
Woods will be an even bigger fa
vorite next month in the British
Open at St. Andrews, where he
will try to complete the career
Grand Slam in only his fourth year
of professional golf, one fewer
than it took Jack Nicklaus.
That should be the least of any
one’s worries.
After his historic performance
at Pebble Beach, where he won the
100th U.S. Open by shattering
records set more than 100 years
ago, Woods was concerned more
with how much he can improve
than how much he already has ac
complished.
“We all play golf, we all have a
bug,” Woods said. “We’re all try
ing to get better somehow. I’m go
ing to continue to work on my
whole game.”
The record will reflect that
Ernie Els and Miguel Angel
Jimenez tied for second in the U.S.
Open. It should also carry a foot
note to explain that the 15-stroke
margin is not a typo.
Only four times has a player
won a major championship by at
least 12 strokes — Old Tom Mor
ris in 1862, Young Tom Morris in
1870, and Woods twice in the last
three years.
"What do we have to do to get to
him? Hit everything you can, and
then hope for the best,” Els said.
“Who knows what he’s going to do
from here?”
Woods tied the U.S. Open scor
ing record of 272, set at par-70 Bal
tusrol by Nicklaus in 1980 and Lee
Janzen in 1993. Woods shattered
the record in relation to par, 12 un
der, in a tournament where no one
else came close to matching par.
That sums up Woods. Right
now, no one is close.
