over losses

helped, but didn't com¬
pletely heal the wounds.
1990—In somewhat of a
rebuilding year, FSU raced
out of the starting gate like
an eager thoroughbreti at
Churchill Downs. The
T>ogs avenged the New
Mexico loss by beating the
Lobos, won at Utah with
surprising ease, and
entered the Oct 6 game at
Northern Illinois 5-0 and
ranked 24th. Before the
season, I circled Oct 6 on
my calender thinking to
myself, If we lose a game it
will thai one.'
The Huskies limped out
of the Huskie Stadium
runnel 2-3 coming off a loss
at hapless Northwestern.
But 733 yards of Stacey
Robinson and the Huskie
wishbone offense produced
a 73-18 NIU win and a hu¬
miliating item in Sports
Illustrated, which con¬
cluded Fresno was Fres-noi
. The team was never the
same again and it handed
the Big West crown to San
Jose Shite.
1991— The Dogs again
started fast, hammering
Northern Illinois, coming
from behind to win back-
to-back road games against
Pacific 10 teams, and scored
94 against our friends from
New Mexico. But a 42-28
win at New Mexico State
was tarnished by the loss of
quarterback Mark Barsotti,
forcing red shirt freshman
Trent Dilfer to satisfy
hungry Bulldog fans. A 48-
22winoverUNLV
quenched many Red
Wavers' appetites. 7-0 and
ranked 25th entering last
Saturday's game at Utah
State, FSU appeared to be
finally headed for the
elusive dream of an
unbeaten season. The
dream died in Logan
however, as we all know by
now.
What do these three
losses have in common?
Fresno State entered the
game unbeaten, ranked in
the Associated Press Top
25, and favored pver teams
that were simply not as
good. Fresno State left
Albuquerque, DeKalb and
Logan with lost rankings
and lost dreams.
Why can't Fresno State
win these road games?
God, I can't wait until we
join the WACI would
rather lose 59-0 to BYU
than 20-19 to Utah State.
But 111 be at Bulldog
Stadium Nov. 16 against
Cal State FuUerton,

until I'm hoarse. Until Dr.
Welty gives mea diploma, I
will not miss a Fresno State
home football game.

Anderson: Qualifies  g spikers: Lose to UOP
for National Tourney

The championship automati¬
cally qualifies Anderson for the
Rolex ITCA National Champion¬
ships.
Previous winners of the ITCA
NorCal Tournament include Tim
Mayotte, John McEnroe, Patrick
McEnroe and Jeff Turango.
1 looked up at the list of win¬
ners and I saw all of these names
up there," he said. "Now I get to
see my name up there and it feels
good to be on that list.
"I had no idea that I could win
this thing. I knew I was playing
well, but I didn't know how well."
Anderson is not the only Bull¬
dog to have played strong in the
NorCal. Nils Koitka and Oaf Sa-
chau won five matches before
being defeated, 4-6,6-4,6-4 by the
Stanford team of Chris Cocotos
and Vimal Patel in the semifinals.
Likewise, the Bulldogs' team of
Steve Jackson and Mike Noel were
eliminated in the semifinals, 6-2,
6-4, by the tournament—champi¬
onship team of Robert Devins and
Michael Flanagan of Stanford. _ V
Koitka, the tournament's 13th*.
seeded individual player, lost Ws
quarterfinal round match to Crile,
6-3,6-4.
"I don't want to take anything
away from Greg, but it was a tre¬
mendous tournament for the
whole team," Smith said. "It was a
great team effort and Greg capped
it off by winning the champion¬
ship."
The fact that he is the first player
from a school other than Cal or
Stanford to win the tournament in
19 years is especially important to
Anderson.
"In the past I've been intimi¬
dated when I play someone from
Stanford or Berkeley," he admit¬
ted. "I think(Smith)isagreat coach
and he has helped me overcome
that.
"I remember I was playing a
guy from Stanford and I was up 6-
0, 2-0 and he won a game. Peter
came out on the court chewing on
an apple and told me to relax After
that, I put the guy away."
