A s it hap pened, W ashington w alked to a 51-3 w in over W ashington State, snuffing out Beaver hopes for the Rose Bowl. B ut for a few hours it all seem ed very possible. Rose petals left behind by a rose vendor lay scattered outside the sta dium gate. “T here’s the D ucks’ Rose B ow l chances,” jo k ed O SU junior A ustin Hamleton. Even as W ashing ton pulled aw ay from W ashington State, m any Beaver fans held onto the hope that their team would go all the way. Keith Rohrbough, 51, scooped up a handful o f the petals and held them above his head. “This win means everything to m e,” said Rohrbough, w hose parents both graduated from Oregon State. “I would walk to an OSU Rose Bowl if I had to.” Jubilant Beaver fans swarm ed the parking lot chanting “Poor D ucks” JO N KOONCE & THE GAS HOGS T h u r sd a y , N o v e m b e r 2, 7 p m Hog Madness PIG IRON and banging on cowbells after the victory.
