Overjoyed Oregon State fans hope
ful o f a Rose Bowl berth poured out o f
Reser Stadium Saturday celebrating
their 23-13 win over the Oregon Ducks
even before the last seconds had ticked
o ff the play clock.
The No. 8 Beavers defeated the No.
5 Ducks, m eaning only a W ashington
w in later in the day stood in the w ay o f
N ew Years in Pasadena. 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”

and banging on cowbells after the
victory. One young Beaver fan dragged
a stuffed plush duck though the park
ing lot on a string and offered passers-
by a chance to kick it. Beaver fens
stoked up tailgate barbecues ready to
party into the evening. “W e’ve been
Beaver fans for years and w e’ve al
ways been so dejected,” said Carole
Richardson, 57,ofCorvallis. “Today is
a wonderful day to be a Beaver.”
After the game Beaver fans jammed
into the OSU Alumni Center to watch
the W ashington-W ashington State
matchup. Beaver fans groaned each
time the Beavers made a good play and
pulled steadily ahead. Before kickoff
scalpers were asking— and getting—
up to $300 for a pair o f tickets. Oregon
State alumnus Mike Kendig, 47, found
tickets for his children, aged 12 and 18,
for$75eachbutsaidhe would w aitabit
Before buying a ticket for himself.
“W e took econom ics here and the
price tends to go down because to
m orrow they’re recyclable,” he said.
“In h alf an hour th ey ’re worth noth
ing.” William Coe, 30, got tumedaway
at the gate when ticket-takers realized
his ticket w asn’t kosher. Coe said a
friend m ade up the fake on a color
copier.
