Bowling 'em over
By Stephen Provost
Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho!
It's that time of year again, when carol¬
ers go caroling, presents are placed loving¬
ly underneath the tree, and football bowl
games fill the airwaves.
The NCAA has decided to play Santa
Claus this season, doling out an unprec¬
edented 36 bowl berths among its 105
Division 1-A member schools. Maybe one
of those North Pole mailbags got diverted
to NCAA headquarters, because almost
nobody got left off the College Football
Santa's gift giving list.
The Big Bowl Bidder didn't want to
look like Scrooge this holiday season, and
as a result, quite a few sickly Tiny Tims
will be coming to us via satelli

sixth place in the Big 10 this season will
both be going: Michigan (6-5) and Michi¬
gan State (also 6-5). Then there's Iowa
(6-»-l). Purdue (7^») and Army (6-3-1
with one game to play), not to mention
Southern California, which lost its last
two games convincingly but ended up in
thc Rose Bowl anyway.
All in all, there are 18 bowls to choose
from, not counting the so-called Mirage
Bowl. That game, as the name suggests.
looks like a bowl game but really isn't.
There are bowls named for flowers and
bowls named for giant crawling reptiles.
There's even a bowl named after Blue-
bonnet Margarine. Well, not really.
There are enough games with fruity
monickers to fill a holiday basket  for
The Liberty Bowl is not the Freedom
Bowl, which is not the Independence
Bowl. None of them are played in Wash¬
ington or Philly, either.
The Cherry and Freedom Bowls are
new this year, the former to be played in
the Silverdome and the latter in Anaheim
Stadium. Which reminds me, Santa's list
wasn't quite complete after all. Somehow
the team with the nation's second best
record got left out of the holiday fes-
The 11-1 Fullenon State Titans used to
play at the "Big A,"and would be a virtual
home team for the inaugural Freedom
Bowl. But do they get picked? No. Texas
or Houston will probably go instead. It's
just another example of a PCAA team
getting slighted.
At least one PCAA squad will be play¬
ing post-season football this year, though.

Well, not quite nobody. But the Cal
Bowl has hardly been the biggest attrac¬

three years. The game itself is often very
exciting. But don't expect a-sellout, un¬

Because nobody in Fresno knows a
thing about Toledo's football team, and
your average resident of Anytown, USA
hasn't heard much about UNLV either.
Thc PCAA and the MAC each has a
bad case of Rodney Dangerfielditis: they
just don't get no respect. Both leagues are
classified as Division 1-A, just like the Big
10 or Pac-10, and Fresno State alone has
beaten a number of Pac-10 teams lately.
But you wouldn't know it by reading your
local newspaper or listening to Keith
Jackson on TV.
Heck, the Las Vegas gambling people
don't even post odds on either confer-
So why should one unknown play ano¬
ther unknown? Instead, maybe thc Cal
Bowl should be split into a pair of post¬
season packages, with the PCAA hosting
one at-large team and the MAC champ
taking on another.
If the Rebels beat Texas, then some¬
body would notice. Guaranteed.
Here's a quick look at the highs and
lows of this bowl season.
Best matchup: none. Most of this year's
games are likely to be mismatches, defen¬
sive struggles or meaningless affairs in¬
volving mediocre teams.
Dullest game: the Rose  Bowl. Thc
"grandaddy of 'em all" hasn't produced a
unanimous national champion since 1972,
and it won't this year either. USC and
Ohio State are both strong defensive
teams, so don't expect a lot of action. The
highlight of this contest could be halftime.
Most unusual game: the Holiday Bowl.
Why is number one Brigham Young
putting an undefeated record on the line
against 6-5 Michigan? On the surface, this
looks like the biggest mismatch of them
all, but a look at BYU's creampuff sched¬
ule reveals a surprising possibility: Mich-
Wish Bowl: BYU vs. Boston College. 1
don't care where, when or how, but get
these teams together. The final score
could be 52-49, providing a fitting sequal
to Boston College-Miami.
Answer to last week's trivia question:
The only unofficial Olympics ever held
took place in Athens, Greece in 1906, two
years after the 1904 Games in St. Louis.
Your last chance: This year could be
called the year of the military comeback,
with Army, Navy and Air Force all com¬
peting in post-season bowl games. When
was the last time two military teams
competed against one another in a bowl
game?

Spikers surprise UCSB,
keep title hopes alive
For the first time in Bulldog volleyball
history the Fresno State women not only
earned a berth in NCAA playoffs, but
advanced to the second round of play by
defeating UC-Santa Barbara, 3-1.
Before a crowd of 1,097 applauding
Bulldog fans, the anxious and tense UC-
Santa Barbara and Fresno State teams
faced off for the fourth .time in the 1984
season. FSU trailed in their series with
Santa Barbara this year, two matches to
one. The Gauchos finished regular season
play with a 20-17 overall record and a 4-4
mark in the PCAA, ranking 17th in the
NCAA top 20 final poll. The Bulldogs,
meanwhile, came into the championship
tournament 24-12 overall.
The Gauchos settled into the game first,
playing strong and aggressive volleyball.
Senior middle blocker Gina DeQuattro
put her team in gear with three immediate
kills past the Bulldog defense.
. But FSU fought "tooth and nail" for
every point as the ball volleyed from side
to side, possession changing hands con¬
stantly. At the end of an exhausting first-
game victory for UCSB (15-12), head
coach Leilani Overstreet's squad could see
their work was cut out for them, as they
regrouped in preparation for the next
game.
In the second game ofthe match, FSU
began repeating what they had done in the
first game, trailing early by a scoreof 1 l-o.
At that point, Overstreet called a time-out
that proved to be thc turning point of the
evening for Fresno State.
"I pointed out to the girls that we were
the ones making the mistakes out on the -
court. It was our fault that we were
behind.," Overstreet said. "As soon as
they thought about it and realized they
were making these mistakes, the girls
turned it around, played aggressively and
did it.
"They came into the game already con¬
vinced that Santa Barbara was a great
team and when they started believing in
themselves, something IVe been telling
them all season, they started playing like
they could."
The Bulldogs turned the game around
with three Ruth Lawanson kills and key
plays from Kathy Handcock and Barbi
Synder to overpower UCSB 15-13.
For the remainder of the match FSU
came out early in the game, seized the lead
and never let go of it, capturing games
four and five 15-11 and 15-6.
"The team had trouble with setting at
first but then they saw they could count on
Denise (Fowler) early on and later Kathy
Handcock," Overstreet said. "They all
had a really strong game."
Highlighting their strength in the first
round ofthe NCAA Finals, Ruth Lawan¬
son contributed 21 kills and 12 assists and
some service aces. Kathy Handcock and
Barbi Synder each made 13 kills, while
Kathy Sullivan powered three kills and 10
For UCSB, junior record-setter Kathie
Luedeke led the way in kills with 13 and
also had one service ace.
Tbe next step for tbe Bulldogs will be to
face Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, a team
they stand 1-2 with so far on the season.
That game's location and time will be
announced early next week.
