What does the media
cover Super Bowl week?
Once again that time of year
is upon us. Yes, it is Super Bowl
timeagain. In two weeks we will
witness what the 28 teams work
towards all season. The game
will end all the “discussions”
you have had with friends.
This is the game that can’t
just be watched like any other
regular season contest You have
to invite friends, empty the cup
board of junk food, and make
sure there isn’t a beverage left
when the clock finally runs down.
Then if you are on the winning
side you can sit around and gloat
until someone smacks you silly.
However, before you can
get to that
point, you
first have

overkill.
First,
for the past
two years one team has been a
serious underdog to the other.
This year the Denver Broncos
already seem to have been told
that they will defeat the San
Francisco 49ers when pigs fly,
fish walk, and a male wins the
Miss America pageant.
Then comes the questions.
It is hard for dozens of reporters
covering the same game to come
up with interesting questions.
This forces the big names (you
never know the names of the
linemen) of the game to basi
cally answer the same 20 ques
tions again and again and again.
The start of the serious at
tention then begins with what
else but the arrivals of the team.
You are taken to the airport
where you get to see. .. the
teams step off the plane. The
newscasters just don’t tell you
they make such a large deal of
it. As if one of the teams is
going to fail to show up be
cause they forgot.

this comes what I think is the
best part. MEDIADAY! This

ten full days of already infor

healing it doesn’t seem to do
much good in the strategy de

tension-filled blowouts. How ever

Grapplers claim championship
by Staci Beard
Sports Editor
Clackamas wrestlers finished
up a long and tiring weekend by
taking the championship of the
Thunderbird Dual Meet Classic.
Friday’s match with North
Idaho in Coeur d’Alene, the team
traveled half the night to He-
lensburg, Washington, then fin
ished the drive to Tacoma to
compete in Dual Meet Classic.
The Cougars showed no sign
of fatigue as they went out and
defeated their first opponent, Big
Bend Community College, 34-13.
That win pushed them into the
semifinals where they blew out
Lower Columbia Community
College 45-3.
The championship match
proved to be much closer as the
Cougars pulled out a 29-20 vic
tory over their host, Highline
Community College.
“We were able to wrestle 15
different guys in the ten weight
classes. Everyone was able to
wrestle at least twice. It was good
experience for everyone,” stated
Coach Jim Jackson.
Before Saturday’s contest was
performed, the Cougars faced
North Idaho who are ranked sec
ond in the NJCAA (National
Junior College Athletic Associa
tion) in a dual meet which they
lost 36-11.
“We again wrestled tough.
Their team was full of sophomores
who had redshirted while we are a
majority of freshman. I didn’t feel
bad though because we knew they
would be strong,” explained
Jackson.
Two members stood out with
strong performances: Steve Teeney
at 167 and Lance Hobson at 177.
“They just annihilated their

opponents. It gave the team a big
boost,” said Jackson.
Among those wrestling tough
were Craig Morris at 118 and Matt
Lindland at 150.
“Morris lost a close match
that could have gone either way.
Lindland worked up to a 2-2 draw
that if it had been at any other
place his opponent would have
had a stallingcall against him and
Matt could have won; he just
couldn’t get the call,” stated
Jackson.
Jackson sees the team con
tinuing to improve as the season
progresses.
“There has been a big differ-
ence between this weekend and
last weekend. Our mental attitude
has improved to the point where
we don’t quit the whole time they
were out on the mat. So on the
matches that we lost they were
going hard the whole time. You
can’t ask for more than that,** stated
Jackson.
The Cougar ' only home
match will be Friday, Jan.’25;
against Pacific Lutheran at 6 p.m.
and North Idaho at 7:30 p.m.
On Saturday, Clackamas fol
lows Friday’s action with the CCC
Invitational which will get under
way at 10 a.m.
