The Red Guard re-printed Ron Bellamy's 1994 column about the play that invented college football:
Editor’s note: This story, by former Register-Guard sports editor and columnist Ron Bellamy, was originally published on Sunday, Dec. 11, 1994.

“Here we go, 1:05 remaining, first and goal from the 8 yard line.
“Huard, with Kaufman behind him now. Will he get the ball? Huard, going to go back to throw the ball. Sets up, looks, throws toward the corner of the end zone, it is INTERCEPTED!
“INTERCEPTED! THE DUCKS HAVE THE BALL1 DOWN TO THE 35, THE 40. KENNY WHEATON IS GONNA SCORE! KENNY WHEATON IS GONNA SCORE!
“TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN! KENNY WHEATON ON THE INTERCEPTIONNNNN! THE MOST IMPROBABLE FINISH OF A FOOTBALL GAME. …”
— Broadcaster Jerry Allen, on the Oregon Sports Network, Oct. 22, 1994.

It's a good read. I got all misty. This is the single coolest sports event that I was actually in the stadium for.

Edit nummer too: a fun thing about that picture is that you can see the beginning of the UW visitor section in the far right of the frame. They don't look happy
