Rivalry game still
excites students
The freshmen are fired up
for this weekend’s rivalry
By Jesse Thomas
Sports Reporter
The Civil War football game is the
pinnacle point in Oregon's 12-game
regular season schedule for some
students. It's the one game that must
not be missed.
Others, though, see it as just anoth
er football game or another Civil War.
One thing is for sure: Class and age
can have an effect on how one views
the in-state rivalry.
Freshman Jonathan Parks, a histo
ry major, made sure he would make it
to Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Parks
was in line outside the EMU at 5:30
a.m. the day off of the ticket release.
"It's the experience of just waiting in
line and getting the tickets," he said.
This statement holds true for many
freshmen. Parks was among 15
friends who received tickets and will
all be attending the game. Parks did
n't sleep the night before and missed
two classes to get a ticket.
"The few games that I've been to
have been the absolute greatest part of
this year — they were all riots," Parks
said. "I'm sure this is going to be the
biggest game of the year, and it's prob

ably going to be the most fun I've had
in the school year so far."
This Civil War doesn't have the im
plications of years past. A bowl game
will be in Oregon's future, but it won't
be the Fiesta Bowl like two years ago.
Oregon State and Oregon sit third
and fourth in the conference rankings,
but Parks doesn't seem to care.
"It'd be nice to have the whole con- -
ference ride upon that game, but it's
still bragging rights throughout the
whole state, and it's still going to be a
huge game," he said.
Freshman Danny Dougherty had
similar sentiments.
"It's not 2001, it's definitely differ
ent," Dougherty said. "It's not the
same, but still it's a good way of fin
ishing off the season to get to a bowl
game."

ment a reputation for him as a big
game quarterback. He torched the
Ducks last season, so he knows what
it takes. It's just a case of consistency
for him as well.
But let's play a little game. Let's
imagine what it would have been like
if either had taken different paths and
their roles were reversed.
What would happen with Ander
son in Eugene? Would he have started
in place of Jason Fife last season, or
would he have been relegated to the
bench like Clemens was for most of
the year?
As for Clemens, would he have got
ten a better chance to produce early
with the Beavers? Would the presence
of Steven Jackson, a running back
Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti calls
the best in the nation, help ease him
into the lineup? Would the runner's
capabilities have given Clemens a
blanket that would have allowed him
to develop without criticism?
Better yet would it have been the
Beavers last season that went through a
1-6 drop late in the year? If Anderson
had been in Eugene, would it have been
the Beavers instead that fell so hard?
Maybe it's the system. Maybe hav
ing Jackson in the backfield has been
a boon for Anderson, giving him the
chance to get used to the system while

a first-class running back stomped out
of the backfield.
OK, so it's not so easy to predict
what would've happened, much like
the difficulties predicting their careers
in high school.
My guess is that they've taken the
right paths and that talent and an
ability to remain "cool" can't be
taught.
Clemens has taken the slower path
to stardom, but when it really comes
down to it, he's probably going to
have the better career of the two. He's
got leader written all over him, evi
denced by his confidence level. He's
said a number of times this season
that his confidence doesn't waver
when results go sour.
That's a pretty significant statement,
especially for a redshirt sophomore.
Anderson may have the physical
tools — at least more so than
Clemens — but he hasn't blossomed
into that leader just yet. He's a junior
and has one year left, so it better come
soon.
The major difference between the
two surrounds the fart that Clemens
will be around for two more seasons.
It may not show now, but it looks
like the Ducks will have come out bet
ter in the deal.
Anderson would've been a nice
choice too.
Just not in the long run.
