(U-WIRE) PULLMAN, Wash. — The faint hopes for a Fiesta Bowl berth disappeared for Washington State on Tuesday. The Cougars (9-2, 6-2 Pac-10) — No. 13 in the latest Bowl Champi onship Series standings — were re leased from consideration for a BCS bowl Tuesday, freeing WSU to offi cially accept a bid to attend the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 31. “We’re very excited,” WSU Ath letics Director Jim Sterk said. “In each of our programs we want to compete on a national level year-in, year-out.” WSU was offered an invitation to the Sun Bowl on Nov. 20, but could not officially accept the bid until it was released from BCS consideration. The Sun Bowl will be the eighth bowl appearance in WSU’s history. The Cougars’ last appearance in a bowl was the 1998 Rose Bowl. On Tuesday, WSU coach Mike Price was in San Diego on a recruit ing visit and was unavailable for comment. Who WSU will face has yet to be determined. The fifth-place team in the Big Ten will fill the other slot. The most likely candidates are Purdue, Iowa, Michigan State and Penn State. “Purdue is kind of the leader to day,” Sterk said. “The opponent has n't been nailed down yet, but we’re ready to roll and start making prepa rations. “It’s good for our institution — we’ll have national exposure on CBS and with a Big Ten opponent, we should have a great game.” A match-up with Purdue would reunite Price with Boilermaker coach Joe Tiller. Tiller was the offensive coordina tor and offensive line coach in Price’s first two years at WSU, and the two teams run similar one-back, spread offenses. WSU’s payout from the bowl will be $1 million. That money, along with all the money from the bowl payouts from the other Pac-10 bowl teams will go into a pool and then split among all member schools. ©2001 Daily Evergreen via U-Wire Civil War continued from page 9 only got three more days. That’s right down the road now, baby.” Yep, just three days until the Ducks can finally play the game they’ve anticipated for three weeks. “It’s felt like two months,” line backer David Moretti said. Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti has done his best to control his team’s emotions since the Bruins game, but even he has admitted to wishing the game would come sooner. Bellotti described Monday and Tuesday’s practices as “very awe some” and was excited to see his team come back from their five-day Thanksgiving break with a “real hunger to play football.” He was also glad their hunger for food over the holiday didn’t cause them to get a little out of shape. “They did a nice job of watching TV and watching their weight,” Bellotti said. “It was a tremendous relief on Monday to know that we’re finally going to play this week. But I have to make sure they get through today’s practice, be cause they were pretty antsy yester day.” The players have filled their time by resting their bodies and letting all their bruises subside. They’ve tried to pace themselves through practice. They’ve watched more film on the Beavers than probably all of their previous opponents combined. Now, all they want to do is play. And while Saturday at 1:38 p.m. is the exact kickoff time, any day and time would do at this point. “We could play right now in the parking lot if that’s what need be,” defensive end Seth McEwan said. “We’ve been going over this stuff over and over. It’s second nature to us now. It’s time to strap it up and get it going.” So while the rest of their fellow students spend their nights in the library or in computer labs during Dead Week, the Ducks have been focusing on the Beavers. When the Civil War was moved back to Dec. 1 to accommodate television, some University professors voiced com plaints because it is the weekend before finals. “I know I got study groups, and because of practice I have to miss them,” Smith said. “But I’ll take care of that stuff next week. This Oregon State game is big.” Defensive tackle Chris Tetteron had a different attitude. “There’s nothing else on my mind,” he said. “Not even finals.” For the time being, Oregon is studying the playbooks and game film and patiently waiting as the calendar slowly makes its way to December. “You want to just play and get it over with,” Moretti said. “This de lay is killing me. But our intensity has been there all week, and it’ll be there Saturday.” So will Cameron and her fellow Duck Shop employees. Starting at 10:30 a.m., when all the motor homes begin lining up, she’ll begin bracing herself for the pregame rush of customers. “It’s great,” she said. “I love it.” Emerald assistant sports editor Jeff Smith can be reached atjeffsmith@dailyemerald.com.
