Michigan Daily Personals 764-0557 THE BOWLS P R E V I E W Fiesta doesn't deserve Jan. 2 Van Raaphorst leads PAC By Adam Martin Continued from Page 4 Tempe by former Michigan State head man Darryl Rogers, now coach of the Detroit Lions. Rogers spent five years in charge of the Arizona State program. The Sun Devils must have made their former coach proud with their first game this season, a 20-17 victory over the Spartans, but it may take more than that to gain respect in the PAC-10. Especially from Arizona, whose triumph over its intrastate rival this year was the fifth straight. MY BLOOD IS BOILING, and it shouldn't be. Michigan will pummel Arizona State in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, and more people will watch it on NBC than ever before. Why? Because only the Florida Citrus Bowl and Cotton Bowl on ABC and CBS precede the Granddaddy of 'em all on NBC. Sure the Citrus has Southern Cal and Auburn while the Cotton has Texas A&M and Ohio State. But neither game will fatigue viewers like this year's Fiesta Bowl would have if first and second-ranked Miami and Penn State had remained in their original 1:30 p.m, Jan. 1 sit time slot. As the Bowl schedule stands now, each network will probably earn higher New Year's Day ratings because of the Fiesta Bowl's move to Jan. 2. And undoubtedly the 'St football junkie, having gotten more than his fix on Jan 1., will get an Aall unexpected buzz watching the D Hurricanes and the Nittany Lions D battle for the national championship the next evening. But mo..., mone... (I feel like Arthur Fonzarelli trying to admit he - was wrong)... money isn't every- thing, and neither are ratings. This is really a question of ethics, of justice in college football. Granted, Vinny Testaverde and the Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the country, and so are the Nittany Lions, but what right do they have to divorce themselves from the rest of the top ten, or the top twenty by meeting the Day After? Is it deus ex machina, divine intervention? Is it that Miami and Penn State are simply far superior clubs than the third through tenth- ranked teams? No, on both counts. The Fiesta Bowl people approached NBC and discussed the possibility of moving the game to prime time Jan. 2. At first NBC didn't like the idea because it would be forced to pre- empt, yes, Miami Vice and the rest of its prime time programming. But then NBC realized it could raise its advertising rates for a prime time, national championship football game and agreed to the switch. Meanwhile, Miami, thinking Penn State and the Hurricanes would remain undefeated, ten- tatively agreed to meet the Lions in. the Fiesta Bowl, an agreement solidified Thanksgiving Day. The kicker was the Jan. 2 date. In prime time on the Day After, Miami figured it would get the highest possible exposure, and so seal its fate as the best team in the country. Penn State was ready to follow Miami wherever it chose to play, no doubt for the same reason. Just to munch on, here are the figures. Miami and Penn State will each earn $2.4 million from the Fiesta Bowl. NBC, instead of charging $70,000 per commercial can now charge up to $200,000 per ad because of the switch to the Jan. 2 prime time slot. NBC claims it will be lucky to break even after preempting its regular shows, but surely Don Johnson won't lose any money. Maybe this Jan. 2 scheme was planned earlier in the year when Associated Press and United Press International rocketed Penn State to the second position after it knocked off formerly second-ranked Ala- bama. Miami supposedly earned the rights to number one when it dumped Oklahoma on national television, but unquestionably the Hurricanes schedule was question- able. Still, Miami remained at the top throughout the season, and now the match made in media heaven, Miami-Penn State, is a reality. This one really stings. Michigan, if it had not self- destructed against Minnesota, might have had a shot at the national championship. Instead Michigan, will capture coach Bo Schem- bechler's second Rose Bowl victory, but finish third or fourth in the national rankings when Oklahoma wins the Orange Bowl and either Miami or Penn State lose. The Hurricanes and the Nittany Lions didn't make it to the top in the playoffs - there are no playoffs. They made it there on questionable human judgments. Don't get me wrong; Miami and Penn State deserve spots in the top five. But neither deserves the attention of Jan. 2, prime time exposure. Damn it, what right do they have? N Martin is a Daily sports columnist. By Mark Borowsky SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL players are fortunate enough to come into a winning program. Others have to build it. When Arizona State quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst came to Arizona State in the fall of 1982, the Sun Devils were riding the crest of seven straight seasons of finishing at .500 or better. That year Arizona State went 10-2, including a 32-21 victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, while ending the season ranked second in both wire service polls. Then the bottom fell out and the building began. The Sun Devils finished 6-4-1 in 1983, and 5-6 in 1984, Van Raaphorst's first season starting. While the 6-1, 204 pound quarterback threw for over 2,000 yards and 17 touchdowns in only seven games due to injury, it was the first time that Arizona State had not won six games in a season since 1976. To add insult to injury, head coach Darryl Rogers left later that year in the middle of recruiting season to assume the same title with the Detroit Lions. The easygoing Rogers was replaced by the more intense John Cooper, who had trouble with the transtion. "It was rough at first," Van Rapphorst said. "They're two different types of people. Coach Rogers is more laid back, coach Cooper is more intense." The probable result would appear an intense disaster. But after a 2-2 start last season, the Sun Devils won six straight , finishing 8-4 after losing to Arkansas in the Holiday Bowl. Van Rapphorst threw for 2,200 yards, fifth highest in school history, not bad considering that Arizona State has produced NFL quarterbacks Danny White, Mark Malone, and Mike Pagel. And if in 1984 the Sun Devils were rebuilding, then this year they have reached the summit. Behind Van Raaphorst's .603 passing and the rushing of tailback Darryl Harris (933 yards), Arizona State has averaged over 32 points and 400 yards a game. The Sun Devils cruised thorugh the PAC-10 (the WEEKEND MAGAZINE Fridays in The Daily - 763-0379 Jeff Van Raaphorst. only loss being to Arizona last week) and gained the school's first Rose Bowl berth. "It's a dream come true," said the real estate major who plans a career in the NFL after he graduates in the spring. "That's one reason I came here because I thought this team would have a chance to go to the Rose Bowl. We had a couple of chances in previous years and didn't get it done. This year we finally got it done." Getting it done for Van Raaphorst means not making mistakes. Like Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, he can pull the big play but his strength lies in his efficiency. "I just try to be consistent," said Van Raaphorst, who has an efficiency rating of 141.6 this season. "I have to keep the ball moving down the field; if I have to throw short passes all day, I'll throw short passes. We stay away from turnovers pretty much and I think that's really helped us. I just try to be a real high efficient quarterback." Arizona State means doing without the national publicity that an undefeated team usually gets, as the Sun Devils were 9-0-1 before the loss to Arizona but were a group of unknowns. Since they play their home games late at night, Arizona State doesn't always get its scores - or players- in most Sunday papers. Arizona State has been an unknown commodity to Michigan head coach Bo Scehmbechler, who, by his own admission, doesn't know much about the Sun Devils. No one seems to be up on Arizona State, for that matter. "In. a sense, I don't know any different because I've been here for five years," Raaphorst said of his team's lack of publicity. "What seems like not a lot of publicity to you is a lot to me so it's all relative. "If you feed you're dog puppy chow all day, and he grows five years old and then you feed him something different, he doesn't know the difference. (Winning) is nice...We've been kind of an unknown down here." He seems to have quickly grasped how to handle the new media attention. His father, Richard played with Michigan defensive coordinator Gary Moeller at Ohio State in the early 1960's, and his repsonse to what he thought of the irony was at once sentimental and sarcastic: "=I've heard all the old names that they've played with. And I recognized Gary Moeller name in there and I saw his son(Andy) playing defense last week," he said. "So that's kind of neat, kind of link back to old traditions. Something different to write about, I guess." :DaS1 Give seas thef avai 1205 S. w m liong ie Sr N, I r th, JiL 1 4 " ), I GC G°' b4 0I IC I.I toL California Bowl Teams: Miami (Ohio), San Jose State Place: Fresno, Calif. Date: Dec. 18 College football fans will be surprised to find out that Miami's QB is named Terry and not Vinny as Miami (Oh.) meets San Jose State in the Califomia Bowl. The Redskin's Terry (Morris) has been very effective in 1986. His 2,300 yards passing and 19 TD passes rank as all-time Redskin highs. San Jose State head coach Claude Gilbert took a team that was picked to finish sixth in the PCAA and led them to a 9-2 record and the conference championship, unseating heavily-favored Fresno State in the process. -Darren Jasey Hall of Fame Bowl Teams: Boston College, Geogia Place: Tampa, Fla. Date: Dec. 23 This year's Hall of Fame Bowl will be a game of firsts. Boston College (8-3), winners of seven in a row, and peorgia (8-3) will meet for the first time. This also marks the first year of the bowl's new game site, Tampa, Fla. Boston College will match its potent offense against a stingy Georgia defense. Quarterback Shawn Halloran (17 TD passes) leads the Eagles' offensive attack. Georgia's defense, on the other hand, has allowed just under 20 points per game. Although the Bulldogs' offense is less prominent, they have a solid all-purpose back in Lars Tate. -,Pete Steinert Sun Bowl Teams: Washington, Alabama Place: El Paso, Texas Date: Dec. 25 This Christmas Day, the Sun Bowl will serve as the gift of consolation for both the Washington Huskies (8-2-1) and the Alabama Crimson Tide(9-3). The Huskies, after finishing tied for second place in the Pac Ten with UCLA, missed out on a Rose Bowl bid. However, a victory in El Paso could mean a top ten ranking. The Crimson Tide saw all hope of an SEC title and a possible Sugar Bowl berth dashed last Saturday following a last minute loss to Auburn. Attempting to end their collegiate careers on a high note will be quarterback Mike Shula. -Jim Downey Gator Bowl Teams: Stanford, Clemson Place: Jacksonville, Fla. Date: Dec. 27 The Gator Bowl, which pits the Atlantic Coast Conference champion against an outside challenger, is traditionally one of the better played pre-New Year's Day bowls. This year's matchup finds Clemson (7-2-2), champions of the ACC, facing Stanford (7- 3). Clemson, making its fifth Gator Bowl appearance, is heading to Jacksonville for the first time since 1978. The team is led by tailback Terrence Flagler, tight end Jim Riggs, and defensive end Michael Perry, brother of the famed "Refrigerator." Stanford heads to Florida after a sixth- place finish in the Pac Ten and is led by senior John Paye, another in a long tradition of fine Cardinal quarterbacks. -Jim Downey Liberty Bowl Teams: Tennessee, Minnesota Place: Memphis, Tenn.
