I think he rushed back and was not healthy for Washington. Then, when he actually was ready to go, the coaching staff remembered that he said he was ready for Washington and did not play him. My biggest what if is what if Vaz had started against Washington? Mannion could have returned healthy for Arizona State and would have had two weeks to get ready for Stanford. That probably would have been ideal. He clearly wasn't ready against UW, and Vaz would have helped us more then, with Mannion being more helpful when he was 100%. If we would have done that, we probably would have been undefeated going into the Civil War. Just like if Mannion was playing in the bowl game, we would have won that year. I'm sure Vaz is a good guy, but I really disliked him because of the Stanford and the Alamo Bowl. Vaz was a great guy and a very capable backup, but he should not have started if Mannion was close to healthy. No reason disliking him for it. It was not Vaz' fault.

In the 80's the only way I could get news about the Beavers in Sacramento was to go the State library put in a request for back issues of the Oregonian. I'd wait fifteen or twenty minutes and the clerk would wheel one or two weeks of papers to my table. In between my visits to the library, the only other news I would get about the football team came from the Bottom 10 column every paper seemed to carry. I could always count on the Beavs to have a place (along with UTEP) and a cruel comment about their ineptitude. Which State facility were you uhhhh, living at?

The only library that had an Oregonian subscription was the California State Library next to the Capitol. It was only three blocks from work. It was a beautiful building.
