	Anyone who thinks Oregon State has a chance at any title must be an
alumnus of the school.  As much as I dislike UCLA, the fact is that UCLA in
one way or another, every year, always seems to upstage the Beavers.  That is
for one reason only:  UCLA doesn't know the word "choke", while the Beavers
swear by it.  UCLA will always manage to make it into the NCAA tournament
whether they're expected to or not.  Oregon State, on the other hand, is
often touted at the beginning of the season as a potential national
champion, and they usually show it until tournament time.  However, at least
the Beavers don't play a disgustingly easy schedule and believe they're
Number 1 like DePaul does every year.  Biscayne and Creighton are real tough
opponents, I tell you.  DePaul also worships the word "choke" come tournament
time.  Even though, Ralph Miller and Ray Meyer have garnered numerous wins,
they will never stand tall in my book.  The mark of a good coach is making
something out of nothing, not making nothing out of something.
