A football game Thursday will be the biggest in the history of Oregon.
For the first time ever, the winner of the annual showdown between the
Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers is guaranteed to be the Pac-10
Conference's Rose Bowl representative. The game will be played before
some 58,000 fans, and it has followers of both teams dreaming of a
January trip to Pasadena.

It just won't be decided by Oregonians.

These two bitter rivals rely more than virtually any other big
college-football program on out-of-staters. Of the 65 schools in the six
BCS (or major) conferences, Oregon has signed the highest percentage of
out-of-staters over the past five years (93%). Oregon State is sixth
(85%). While the Beavers have seven starters from in-state, the only
major home-state contributors on Oregon's roster are the left tackle and
the kicker.

...

The Beavers stumbled upon Jacquizz Rodgers, their shifty, star sophomore
running back from Richmond, Texas, when an OSU assistant traveled there
to recruit his older brother James. The elder Mr. Rodgers, a 5-foot-7
receiver who had gotten modest attention elsewhere, chose OSU, and his
brother followed the next year.

Now they'll try to deliver OSU to its first Rose Bowl since the 1964
season and repay the Ducks for last year.
