UO hockey frustrated following two tough losses
■ The Ducks come away
empty-handed after a two
game homestand with Trojans
By Inge Scheve
for the Emerald
The Oregon Club
Sports hockey team
swallowed two hard
defeats against USC
on home ice last
weekend.
The Ducks fell to the Trojans 4-0
on Friday and 5-1 on Saturday at
the Lane County Ice Arena.
Friday’s loss was particularly
painful. Oregon was in the game
the entire time and had the most
chances (35 versus the Trojans’ 28),
but the Ducks didn’t execute the
way they should have.
“It was pretty demoralizing,”
Oregon captain Tyler Shaffar said.
“We had the opportunity to beat
them, but they embarrassed us in
front of our own crowd.”
The Trojans scored the first goal
within the first minute of the first peri
od, a score that stood until the third pe
riod. In the final session, USC shoved
in three more for the 4-0 shutout.
“It’s really disheartening,” de
fenseman Rob Starkey said. “We
played really well, but we couldn’t
get it past their goalie. Nobody has
been able to step up and score.”
The Ducks tried new systems
and lines this weekend, following
tough losses on their Utah road trip
in the weekend prior.
On the bright side, Oregon had many
of the breaks and bounces in the game.
“We were all over them,” Shaffar
said. “We can’t lose a game like that.”
The Ducks had 17 shots in the
second period alone, but it wasn't
enough.
On Saturday, Oregon was no
competition for USC despite the
fact that a Trojan player dislocated
his kneecap when he collided with
one of his own players. The acci
dent caused a 45-minute pause in
the game, which threw the Ducks
off, Starkey said.
But USC finished what it started
Friday and drove the Ducks to the
brink of hitting the panic button.
The Trojans scored three goals be
fore Oregon even got one in the net,
and then they slapped in another
two to finish off the Ducks.
“They were the better team,”
Shaffar said. “They outplayed us.
It’s so frustrating. You try to change
everything, and it’s not working.
We have a better team than last
year, but we’re doing worse.
“Where do you go from here?”
Giants’ quarterback bares soul in discussion of past
By Tom Canavan
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Kerry Collins
bared his soul about his troubled
past Monday night, transforming a
Super Bowl interview into a very
public confessional.
The New York Giants quarter
back, a self-admitted shy kid, dis
cussed the problems that almost
ended his NFL career.
Standing behind a podium for 35
minutes, Collins answered ques
tion after question about alcohol
dependency; being labeled a racist
and a quitter; the dark moments of
rehabilitation; and eventually turn
ing his career around, leading the
New York Giants to a Super Bowl
meeting with the Baltimore Ravens.
In an era when athletes do their best
to shield their private lives, Collins
treated this news conference like a
meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous,
opening himself up in a candid, in
formative and impressive manner.
When a moderator asked him if he
wanted to stop after the allotted 30
minutes was up, Collins said no and
answered about five more questions.
No subject was taboo.
“Well, I’m human and I too have
frailties and weaknesses, and we all
do,” Collins said. “Hopefully, peo
ple can see me as a role model in
the sense people have problems,
and alcohol dependancy is part of
life. It’s part of everyday life.”
Collins, who has been very frank
about his problems since signing
with the Giants two years ago, gave
new insights into his alcohol depen
dancy and for the first time publicly
discussed the racial incident that led
to his falling into disfavor with his
Carolina Panthers teammates.
Collins, 28, said he didn’t drink
everyday or every other day, but
“when I did, I never stopped.”
The racial incident followed a
binge that came at the end of the
Panthers’ training camp in 1998.
“We all went out and had drinks
and I was very intoxicated,” Collins
said. “There was celebrations going
on back in the dorm and I used a
word that was not meant to be used.”
Collins did not disclose the word he
used, but insisted he was trying to use it
in a joking manner to get a few laughs.
“I used a term that was not meant
to be used in a malicious way,” he
said. “In my polluted, altered mind, I
believed that, in some sort of way, it
would bring forth some sense of ca
maraderie. I certainly didn’t mean
for it to be taken the way it was.”
Collins said he was most proud
of his success off the field.
“I had a hard time separating be
tween Kerry Collins the quarterback
and Kerry Collins the person,” he
said. That distinction wasn t clear
until I realized I needed to take care of
myself first before I could do anything
on the football field or in my career.”
In turning his life around, Collins
also turned around his career, set
ting personal bests for yards pass
ing (3,610) and touchdowns (22).
“I didn’t want to look back in 20 or
30 years and see I wasted a talent that
is a unique talent,” Collins said.
“That has been one of the driving
forces in the whole process.”
So is being honest.
“Do I like to talk about it every
day? No!” >
Maybe he won’t have to after
Monday.
