■ In my opinion
Football team's holiday wish list
is lengthy, but not impossible
‘Tis the season for giving and re
ceiving.
The Oregon football team placed a
big red bow and some colorful wrap
ping paper on a bowl game and placed
it under the tree for Oregon State.
Now with their holiday season
free, the returning players are proba
bly going to have a hefty list for Kris
Kringle for next season’s team. It will
probably go something like this:
Dear St. Nick,
I know we didn’t do as well as we
were supposed to this year, and we fell
to some teams we should have beat.
Yeah, the Indiana loss was a tough
way to begin the year, especially
since the team went 3-8. We know if
we would’ve won that game and the
rest of our record had stayed the
same, we would be enjoying a bowl
game this holiday season.
Not just any bowl game, but the

Las Vegas Bowl. I know a person like
you isn’t too fond of Sin City, but it
could’ve been a “fun night” for us.
Enough about the past, St. Nick.
We would like to present you with
our wish list for next season.
1) We are losing most of our of
fensive line to graduation and
would like an upgrade from last
season’s performance.
I know we had Adam Snyder, a
first-team Pacific-10 all-conference
player, but we gave up the most sacks

in the conference and need to give
our quarterback time to throw the
ball instead of taking a beating every
time he drops back to pass.
Also, we have a great running back
in Terrence Whitehead, who was
robbed of at least a second-team All
Pac-10 spot and needs some more
holes to run through. He may not be
the fastest running back in the con
ference, but he can find holes and
break more tackles than anybody
coming back next year.
2) We want Autzen Stadium to
once again be a place that opposing
teams fear.
Teams didn’t seem to loath coming
to Autzen this year, and that was evi
dent after the embarrassing loss to In
diana at home to start the season. We
went 3-3 at home — a far cry from
the Autzen magic that used to run
rampant through the stadium.
3) In our stocking, we would like
a kicker.
We are losing possibly the best kick
er this university has ever seen in Jared
Siegel. He is the all-time leading player
at Oregon in scoring and field goals.
Paul Martinez stands as his re
placement, but he hasn’t proved him
self after losing the punting job to
David Dittman.
4) We want more players like Jerry
Matson and Ramone Reed.
Though not the fastest or the biggest
player on the field, Matson had heart
and played at full speed at all times.
The former walk-on was the
team’s most inspirational player, ac
cording to teammates, and was never
“too good” to be on special teams.
Reed’s consistent play while deal
ing with injuries all season paid off as
he received the Bob Officer Award,
given to a player who excels despite
physical adversity. He fought through
not only physical, but emotional ad
versity with the loss of his mother
during his junior season. For Reed to
step up after such a loss is a testa
ment to his will and determination.
5) We would like to start another
winning season streak next season.
Everyone knows we went 5-6 and
broke our streak of 10 consecutive win
ning seasons. We know the fans
around town expect a lot from us, so
