On Saturday, Paterno said the Nitiany Lions wanted to play the team that a consensus felt was second ranked anywhere they could. mm 1UM MILLEH Needless to say, prior doubts and fears once again began to surface as the ieague games began to appear. Than a strange and wonderous thing happened, we won. In fact to coin a phrase, we began to roll. And roll we did as we beat teams like Colorado State, Oregon, UTEP and Wyoming. The stage was set as the newest member of the WAC came to town. Although San Diego was having their most disappointing season in a number of years, many people were picking them to upset the Cougars. In fact, in the Cougars' very own KBYU studios one anchorman was making bets that we would lose, NOTE: he could only get two people to take him up on his bet. The bad weather kept many from attending the game, Eeople larger than expected crowd showed up to witness the upset. Some came out of curiosity, some came with their dates and at least three showed up because they had money riding on the game. What they witnessed was a war, as two explosive offensive teams were stopped by the ag- gressive play of the defensive un- its. Matt Mendenhall, Larry Mil- ler, Rod Wood and sohpmore sen- sation, Bill Schoepflin led the way for the Cougars. San Diego has only been held twice in 70 games to no S point, as long as we won. No mat- ter what anyone says or does we are the best team in the WAC, and there isn't anything that can be done to take that away from us. This is one of those memories that will stay with each player for the rest of their lives, because 10 years from now we'll still be the 1978 WAC champions, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our fans that stayed with us through thick and thin, who braved the weather, the loses and the doubts of some of our fickle fans. A special vote of thanks must be given to our very own Cougar band. In my opinion it is the very best college band in the Nation.

As fate will be, we once again brought shame to Cougarville by losing. Shame of shames, we were beaten by that agricultural school that lives northward in the mountainous regions of our very own state.
