PAC-10
PICKS
(Spread in parentheses
next to favored team)
A note on how this works: The pickers (the sports staff, the
editor in chief and the design editor) choose teams against the
Las Vegas spread, meaning that if the picker chooses the
favored team, that team would have to beat the spread - win
by more points than the spread — for the picker to ‘win’ the pick.

Pullman, Wash., for the Cougars.
Oregon players and fans are coming
out of a bye week. It's the perfect time
for the Ducks to hatch from their shell.
Maybe fans will remember they have a
real live team to cheer for in Eugene.
Then again, the Northern Illinois
Bowling Green game starts at the
same time as the Duck game Saturday.
If the Ducks bring back Mandrake
or the yellow jerseys that have myste
riously vanished from the field after
being worn in the season-opening
win against Mississippi State, maybe
the fans will come back, too.
Of course, rumor has it that the new
yellow jerseys bled in the washer, thus
rendering them an unwearable and an
unbearable "Pardon me, do you have
any Grey Poupon?" shade of yellow.
It's sad to look out of the press box
and across to a mosdy-empty student
section. There go the green-painted
people leaving section seven. They're
following the entire senior class out of
the stadium.
But hey, at least it never rains in
Autzen Stadium, right?
Or is it that it never reigns in Autzen
Stadium?
The Ducks may need an appear
ance from Mandrake to rid the curse
that he left behind during the last
Homecoming. Mandrake emerged
from his egg at half time and thus be
gan the 2002 six-game slide.
Is there anyone available who can lo
cate Mandrake and have him reinsert
himself into the egg? If it doesn't do any
thing to help the football team, it might
get a few extra fans into the stadium.
The field next to Autzen, where the
football team practices, has seen a new
motivation from the players since the
bye week. They remember why they're
out on the field day in and day out —
they love to play football.
Could it be that the slide was
brought on by forgetting that one
simple rule of playing a sport?
First and foremost, you must love
the sport you play. Winning is a sec
ondary happiness.
Now if only the fans could figure
that one out, too.
