Five Turnovers put Brown’s Bears into Hibernation
The agony of da bears - Chicago Bears defensive end Alex Brown sits forlorn on the bench at the conclusion of Sunday’s Super Bowl XLI, in which the Bears blew an early lead to lose 2917 to the Indianapolis Colts. Bears quarterback Rex Grossman threw a pair of interceptions, one of which the Colts returned for a touchdown. “We came up short,” Grossman said to the Associated Press. “The two interceptions definitely set us back. It’s extremely disappointing when you get this close to a world championship and you come up short. There is nothing else to say.” See more on page 8.

About two dozen members of the Fullerton chapter of the California Faculty Association picketed in the Quad Tuesday morning to rally faculty and distribute information about the CSU administration’s bargaining proposals. At 11 a.m., sounds of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” blasted from the Quad near Pollak Library as the faculty handed out statistics on student fees and faculty pay. “I’ve never heard anything about this,“ said Bryan McSweeny, a Radio-TV-Film major. “But I tend to side with the teachers rather than the administration. I’m just picking up fliers to learn more.” The picketers eventually marched to the front of Langsdorf Hall where they shouted their demands and holded their signs. The association, with its slogan “I don’t want to strike, but I will,” has been engaged in a collective bargaining period with the CSU over what it calls “misplaced priorities.” “We would like to have all this solved as soon as possible,” said G. Nanjundappa, president of the association’s Fullerton chapter. “We are making every effort to mobilize the faculty. This is just the beginning. We are asking for a fair salary
Questions still surround the death of Michael Scott Cyran, the 43-year-old Fullerton resident who committed suicide by jumping from the Nutwood parking structure last week. No pertinent information has been released as to the motive for why Cyran killed himself, or why he did it on the Cal State Fullerton campus. The case is “still in the coroner’s review and until that particular part of the investigation is complete, there need to be some ‘T’s crossed and ‘I’s dotted,” said CSUF Police Lt. Will Glen in a phone interview regarding new information about the incident. Cyran was spotted pacing the top level of the structure on the afternoon of Jan. 26, allegedly screaming when campus police were notified of the disturbance. By the time police arrived, Cyran was on the ground. Paramedics attempted to revive the man, and he was officially pronounced dead at 4:29 p.m. Shortly after 6 p.m., an Orange
cent salary increase last week for their administrators. Most administrators receiving the pay increase will earn over $240,000 a year, which is still less than what many administrators receive at comparable non-California institutions. CSU faculty, who are also paid less than their peers, have not received a raise in several semesters. “Why shouldn’t we get the same increase?” Nanjundappa asked. The CSU administration’s current offer to the faculty would increase their salary rate by 23.7 percent by the 2009-10 academic year. Fulltime professors currently making $89,551 would see their salary increase to $106,524. The CSU has also proposed a 1 percent incentive-equity salary for each of the remaining three years of the contract, which will bring the total value of the offer to about 27 percent in the last year of the contract.

PROTEST Watch members of the California Faculty Association picket in the Quad.
For some 20 years, Discoverfest has been a way for both incoming and current students to get involved with student clubs, major oriented organizations and social groups. This year, Discoverfest, which took place in the Quad on Tuesday and Wednesday, mixed their traditional informative flier-filled booths with the sweet smell of free Chinese food from Pick Up Stix. Discoverfest, which is coordinated through Student Life and New Student Programs, occurs once each semester and serves as the centerpiece to “Weeks of Welcome.” It is aimed at new students and those who are seeking fun outside the classroom. “We advocate students to get involved in at least one activity outside of their studies,” said Ezekiel Uballe, the assistant dean for Student Life. “That way they could get full experience of what it is to be on a college campus.” Uballe, who has been in charge of the fair for five years, said he made it a point to use Discoverfest to address the stereotype that Cal State Fullerton is a “commuter campus.” “It has been around for at least 20 years [Discoverfest] and it has grown,” Uballe said. “Twenty years ago, it started out with 25 to 30 organizations to now 250 … showing that students are interested on campus and aren’t just driving to school and going home after.” From the Kung Fu Club to the Spirit Team, Discoverfest reached out to those interested in groups
related to their majors and even to those looking to find others who share their own personal hobbies, such as the Harry Potter Reading Club. Discoverfest was also a chance for lesser-known clubs on campus to do some recruiting. “For the rugby team, Discoverfest gives us a chance to recruit and also let everyone know how good we are doing,” said Rugby Club President Hideki Maniwa, a business administration major. Energized from their 38-0 win over UCLA, Maniwa said, “One day soon, the soccer stadium will be known as the rugby pitch.” The fair itself was a vibrant scene with loud rock music blaring from the Titan Radio booth’s speakers and free food from Pick Up Stix being handed out to students walking around campus. The only catch was standing in the occasionally long line. For those seeking a more spiritual college experience, The Intervarsity Christian Fellowship promoted their group and their diversity. “Our club is pushing racial reconciliation because our campus is full of diverse groups, one of the most diverse in the Cal State system,” said Sean Butler, a business administration major. As the two-day festival rolled on, a healthy flow of students walked around the Quad, many in search of groups that might fit their individual interests and tastes. Ally Gaines, a junior communications major and member of the Spirit Team, said, “This was a great way for people to come and get involved and see what’s going on campus.”

County Coroner arrived and conducted an investigation of the body while CSUF police officials shielded the deceased man from media with a metallic sheet. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the body was loaded into the back of a large white van and taken to the Orange County Sheriff Coroner’s office, where an autopsy was performed. Orange County Supervisor Deputy Coroner Larry Esslinger deemed Cyran’s death the result of blunt force trauma from the fall. “He basically tore his main aorta, which caused him to bleed to death [internally] due to the trauma,” Esslinger said in a phone interview. CSUF spokesperson Paula Selleck said she did not know about Cyran’s ties to the campus because he was not a student at the university. “Anyone can drive here on campus,” Selleck said via the phone. Past the initial shock, buzz circulated within the CSUF community about whether the incident would
cause the university to take preventative measures by enclosing the top of the structure, which was completed less than three years ago. The Humanities and Social Sciences Building installed barriers after several high-rise suicides occurred in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Selleck said the issue would likely be reviewed before the Facilities Planning division in the future. A thread of comments posted by users on the Daily Titan’s message board addressed the topic. “I don’t think we should try to enclose the top floor of the structure,” said Paulo Almeida. “That will just increase fees and just because we enclose it does not mean that we will prevent suicides.” “How about we spend the money on the people trying to live their lives, not end them,” said an anonymous poster. “You might say these perspectives are not sensitive to his plight, but I do not find this to be unfortunate. What’s unfortunate is when death or injury is accidental – this was not.”

Gaming
Three New Game Systems Help Kick Off a New Semester By Johnathan Kroncke
Daily Titan Staff Writer
maneditor@dailytitan.com
Microsoft took a big risk when it launched the Xbox 360 more than a year before the other systems came out, giving its competitors a chance to review and improve upon Microsoft’s own designs. The Xbox 360 was met with a disappointing debut, selling less than half of the approximately 159,000 units shipped to stores. However, better games have come along and the future of the system looks promising. “It’s a great system,” said Deshon Miller, an Xbox 360 owner, in a phone interview. “After a year of being out, it has great games.” “Lost Planet: Extreme Condition,” a sci-fi shooter set on an icy and dangerous world in deep space, has made a splash for the system. The game received great reviews and did well following its release in midJanuary. “It also has the best online features of all three consoles,” Miller said, referencing the Xbox Live Arcade feature where gamers are able to pay a small fee to download and play older games. With help from great features and titles like these, Microsoft was able to work around its initial setbacks and establish its product, giving it a solid foothold in the gaming community. “The Xbox 360 had a rough start at first, much like the PS3 is having now, but it’s very solid now,” said
Justin Featheringham, an avid video game lover, in a phone interview. “There’s a good amount of exciting titles for it, and the graphics are very good for the most part.” Sony’s PlayStation 3 received a lukewarm reception upon its November release last year, similar to the Xbox 360’s launch. Fans were dejected by its high price, $499 for the 20 gigabyte and $599 for the 60 gigabyte versions, as well as the lack of exciting games at its release. The PlayStation 3’s price stems both from the research and development put into its production as well as from the Blu-ray DVD player each system is equipped with. Sony Computer Entertainment of America chief Jack Tretton told Game Informer that those who buy the system will understand its value. “It definitely has the most raw power of any console before it, and has a ton of potential,” Featheringham said, referencing the PlayStation 3’s NVIDIA GeForce graphics chip. “Unfortunately, there aren’t very many good games for it yet, and a lot of them seem to push the graphics so much that the game play suffers.” While some of the early releases have been guilty of having pretty graphics but weak stories and game play, new titles are on the rise and are already stirring gamers up. “Resistance: Fall of Man” was released in mid-November of last year and has been well received. The game takes place in a fictional 1951 where World War II never happened
By Cameron Pemstein/Daily Titan Photographer Game time - The PlayStation 3, left, and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, right. The Nintendo Wii is the third of the next-gen systems. All three have created retail frenzies, prompting gamers to wait, somteims overnight, for a chance at the new consoles.
thanks to a terrible virus that turns humans into vicious beasts called Chimera. The controls are as smooth as silk and perfectly complement the eye-popping visuals of the beautifully rendered 3-D environment. Perhaps the biggest upcoming release for the PlayStation 3 is “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.” Konami’s juggernaut will be released later this year, likely to take advantage of the holiday season. Sony has also included a hard drive on the console that is capable
of downloading and storing patches and upgrades to its operating system while enabling online play. While both Microsoft and Sony vied for the biggest and baddest system in the land, Nintendo stepped back and asked, “What does the average gamer want?” Answer: the most intuitive design for a gaming console ever to be released. The Nintendo Wii’s twin guns of a motion capture controller and a relatively cheap price have made it the most sought after of the
three next-gen systems. Gaming and electronics stores have struggled to keep Wiis on their shelves as gamers flock whenever there is a fresh shipment. “It has a very intuitive design,” said Christian Olmedo, a gaming fan, as he played “WarioWare: Smooth Moves” for the Wii. “And the hands-on experience brings new life to video games.” The Wii-mote, as some have come to call it, allows, or rather forces, gamers to get off the couch and start
becoming active during their game play. Games like “Wii Sports,” sold along with the system, make movement necessary. Playing the game’s sports, like baseball and bowling, require players to mimic swinging the bat or rolling the ball. “Most game controllers seem very complicated to people not used to them, so the simplicity of the Wii remote is attractive to them,” Featheringham said. “It’s something anyone can pick up and enjoy.” “Metroid Prime 3: Corruption” is set to be released this year and is just another in a long line of wellrespected Metroid games. The game will incorporate the Nunchuk feature of the Wii-mote, a small, handheld joystick that plugs into the bottom of the main controller and acts as a means of using each of the player’s hands to take separate actions. “Super Smash Bros. Brawl” is the third game in the series. Different characters from various popular video games are brought together to do battle on stages reminiscent of their own games. Each installment introduces several new characters and when Brawl hits shelves later this year, it will include Pit from “Kid Icarus,” Zero Suit Samus from “Metroid: Zero Mission,” Metaknight from “Kirby,” Wario from “Wario,” and Solid Snake from “Metal Gear Solid.” Like the other systems, the Wii offers online capabilities also. Gamers are able to purchase and download classic Nintendo games as well as create and share customizable “Mii” characters.
A Gambler’s Action: A Lot of Real Money on an Online Bet By Adam Levy
Daily Titan Executive Editor alevy@dailytitan.com
Last week, Adam Levy wrote of a $500 bet he placed online for a baseball game last season. This week, he finishes his story. There’s no halftime in baseball, but the fifth inning is a milestone of progress nonetheless. The A’s hold a tenuous 2-to-1 lead on Tampa Bay. The one-run lead is enough to keep my spirits up, but it’s too close for comfort nonetheless. I haven’t eaten, yet my appetite for lunch is nonexistent as I continue a chimney-like procession through the pack of Marlboros. Still, every passing inning gives me an uptick in optimism because I know I am that much closer to winning $250 and – more importantly – not losing $500. The game telecast returns after a commercial and Zito is out of the game. Graphics flash his solid stats
for the day as he rests in the dugout, displaying the casual air of confidence of a man who has done his job for the day. Tampa Bay makes a switch of its own and sends in journeyman Greg Norton to bat in place of their rookie catcher. Murphy’s Law fully intact, Norton smacks a lazy fly ball to right field that looks like it’s going to hook foul. It doesn’t, landing eight rows deep into the outfield bleachers to even the score of the game at two apiece. The ninth inning of a tied ballgame and $500 of my hard-earned money is on the line. This is action at its best, the buzz a gambler craves with every bet, even moreso than the winning. Akin to the rush some get from sex, drugs or rock ‘n’ roll, action is the pulse that turns a meaningless regular season-day game into the seventh game of the World Series. I have to leave for work in less than 15 minutes but nothing can tear me away from the tube at this point. Tampa Bay’s best hitters come
up to the plate to start the ninth and live up to their billing with a double and intentional walk to start the inning. With two on and no one out, all I can do is engage in a combination of prayer and mental exercises to ward off depression and justify
the unjustifiable loss of $500. An out and a walk later, the bases are full of Devil Rays and the excuses are coming in with rapid fire. “Zito was pitching,” “They were due for a win” and “It’s only money, I’ve still got my looks,” take a back-
seat to “It was for an article!” The A’s somehow get out of the ninth unscathed and quickly lead off their half of the inning with a hit and a walk, putting two runners on with no outs. The excuses have been silenced and replaced with a head-
strong confidence that I knew what I was doing all along. A big bet can make one bipolar. Up to the plate comes Marco SEE GAMBLE - PAGE 5

Who Makes Money from YouTube? You Do! Orion Tippens
Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
Friends, the Google and YouTube empire brings most interesting news! YouTube announced last week that its video-sharing majesty will share its revenue with its many subjects. So let us band together and tell our neighbors, family and countrymen to break out the “cams” and start making money. Let us build a utopia where a house may be financed from the super-silly misadventures of a cuddly cat. After sharing those treasured videos of furry critters and giggling babies, we’ll be counting Benjamins and riding spinnas in no time. But if your cat is not that cute, try plan B: pimp your young hot sister on YouTube! Just imagine her barely legal assets collecting tips from the zillions of drooling 50-somethings with no dime to share. Magic! For the few with morals seeking a plan C, try unleashing that lovely voice of yours. Remember that young man who sang the “Pokemon” theme? He got 20 million hits (That’s nearly a third of those who voted for Taylor Hicks!). Perhaps you could sing the theme to Chips and be the next YouTube Idol. Or we can jump to plan Q, reserved for those who attended the Ann Coulter School of Punditry. Get in touch with your inner fascist and spew a lot of one-sided rhetoric
into the videoblogosphere. The best part about being infamous? Collecting hits off the millions of haters! Laugh at those negative comments, and collect the cash they unknowingly give you. Just think, you can be the next king of all media. And to the people who make those “Brokeback Mountain” edits, the “Doctor Who” music videos and whovever found those awesome Nicholas Cage ads from Japan: please keep up the good work. I know there is no chance you can profit from the copyrighted fun, but we still love you. Seriously! To that angry German kid who takes his online roleplaying very seriously: your immortality on YouTube is assured. If only you knew about the money to be made, you may have screamed louder, even Lonelygirl15 could hear you. Achtung! I wonder what your mommy has on camera of your early days. I think with some GoogleBuck incentive, we will find out soon enough. Lol! And finally to YouTube: thank you so much for selling yourself to Google. But alas, the attention you will receive from all the new dollareyed users will usher in a new era. The YouTube I once knew will fade away, drunk in a bar, singing the blues of days past. Meanwhile, we will join together in homage to Nero as we light the Internet on fire with that tainted creativity. Then, I will remember the good times before such interesting news.

Celebrity Justice Beats Criminal Justice TITANS TALK BACK Shaelan Bowers
Daily Titan Staff Writer opinion@dailytitan.com
A celebrity ending up on the other side of the law is nothing new. This is something that R&B star Brandy unfortunately learned last month when she was involved in a fatal car crash. It brings to mind a history of celebrities who have, in essence, been above the law. In 1984 Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil was also involved in a fatal car accident. Because of both
his celebrity status and large bank account, Neil was only charged with manslaughter and spent a whopping 30 days in jail. “I should have gone to prison. I definitely deserved to go to prison. But I did 30 days in jail and got laid and drank beer, because that’s the power of cash,” Neil said. Other celebrities like OJ Simpson and Robert Blake, both accused of murder, were also able to stay out of jail by hiding behind their expensive lawyers and millions of dollars. There has been a handful of ce-
lebrities who have paid the price for crimes committed, albeit a small one. Martha Stewart spent five months in prison and Tommy Lee served four months of his six-month sentence for alleged spousal abuse. But for every celebrity who actually serves time for breaking the law there are five who get away scot free. We all remember Kobe Bryant’s rape accusation (never formally charged), or how about R. Kelly’s famous home-made child pornography? It never saw the light of day. It
seems that for most celebrities all it takes to get off is some greenbacks and a heartfelt apology. Nowadays celebrities’ saving face seems to be more important than justice properly being served. I’m sure it’s only going to be a matter of weeks before we see another celebrity standing in front of a judge only to be given a wag of the finger. Celbrity status should not influence how severely someone is punished for the crimes they commit. I find it horrible, but if history is any indication it’s inevitable.
Coverage of Suicide on Campus Insensitive to Readers, Family Regarding “Man Falls to His Death on CSUF Campus” published on Jan. 29, 2007, I don’t know what’s worse: the bad taste left in my mouth after seeing the front page of The Daily Titan’s latest issue, or the lack of taste the paper had in publishing such disturbing photographs. In the realm of ethics, visual com-
munication has been a controversial issue since the first photo was ever developed. I feel there is no question regarding the newspaper’s bad ethical decision to use the photographs they chose for this story. The photos are not only wrong in regards to the people who did not want to see such a horrific tragedy, but also for the inconsideration towards the victim’s family. The concern is not directed solely to the front page’s unsympathetic art, but I have to question the validity of the article as well. I do not understand why the situation had to be sensationalized with the “History of CSUF Suicides,” which was completely pointless, and I have to question why there was no mention of how to spot depression and how to seek help. If the newspaper was looking for ways to get more readers they chose the wrong route, because it’s a sad day when a man’s death has to be exposed to attract a larger audience. Not only was the situation irresponsibly handled, but it was undeniably thoughtless in regards to the family that is most assuredly in the worse of states right now.

GamblING: Indianapolis Colts Get it Done With Running Back Tandem Putting it On the Line Associated Press
From page 3 Scutaro, a weak-hitting infielder with a knack for clutch hits, something of a modern-day Bucky Dent. With the action-packed excitement of your life flashing before your eyes in an instant, Scutaro hits the ball into the air onto the grass just beyond second base. The Tampa Bay shortstop strategically fields it as the A’s base runners look like confused little leaguers. The dust clears and the play ends with two A’s claiming second base. Neither of them gets it when the umpire signals both running are out, causing the manager to storm out onto the field for a heated but predictably futile argument. Showing my poise and maturity for high-stakes wagering, I launch into a diatribe of expletives that would make a longshoreman blush. Just my luck to lose $500 on a controversial botched call no one will even remember tomorrow. The window of opportunity has considerably shrunk as A’s catcher Jason Kendall stands in the box with two out and a runner on. I am still trying to compose myself from the foul-mouthed tantrum when Kendall hits a weak ground ball to the left side of the infield that takes a hop through the legs of the third baseman to come to a stop at an unmanned spot in shallow left field, enabling the base runner to dash around the base paths and score the winning run. Why didn’t I bet more? A fleeting, yet exhilarating, rush paralyzes me as the forlorn ball in the grass signifies I am $250 richer and a winner on the day. Even better, I didn’t lose the original ante and the rent check is sure to be in the mail on time – for this month, at least. As the bet ends, so does the fun. The fleeting high of the thrill of victory is replaced by a numb, back-tothe-grind mentality that is underscored by the conclusion of bet and ending of chance.
Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes split carries all season, so it was fitting they shared the credit Sunday. With Addai playing the role of setup man and Rhodes emerging as the finisher, the Indianapolis Colts’ tag-team of running backs gave Peyton Manning enough balance in rainy Miami to finally bring home the Lombardi Trophy with a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl. While Manning was selected the game’s MVP, Rhodes and Addai demonstrated how two running backs could carve out a niche together. “What makes it work is that we’re two unselfish guys,” said Rhodes, who can become an unrestricted free agent. “Defenses can’t look to just stop one style, and that makes it
harder for them.” Addai, who led all rookies in rushing during the regular season despite not starting a game, ran 19 times for 77 yards and softened up a defense considered one of the strongest in the league. He also caught 10 passes, more than any of his more notable teammates or any rookie in a Super Bowl, for 66 yards. In fact, his reception total tied the Super Bowl record for a running back, established by Miami’s Tony Nathan in 1985. Rhodes, who graciously accepted his new role as the backup in the playoffs, was even better. He ran 21 times for 113 yards and scored one touchdown and the contrasting styles caused problems for Chicago. “He’s a cutting guy, and I’m more a downhill guy,” Rhodes said. “When you have a guy cutting and another guy who will hit you, it makes it
hard for the defenses.” After overpowering Kansas City, Baltimore and New England in their AFC playoff games, the Colts got a performance from their running backs Sunday will be forever etched into the memories of their fans. Addai and Rhodes repeatedly ran into the middle of the wet field, challenging the Bears’ strength, and then quickly cut outside. They put Manning in position to convert third downs. They took care of the ball in the breezy, slippery conditions except once when Manning’s handoff slid right through Addai’s fingers. And when they had to close it out, they did that, too. It was no surprise to the rest of the Colts. “All year they’ve been splitting carries because we wanted them healthy for the end of the season,” left tackle Tarik Glenn said. “They certainly did their job today.”
Dungy: First Black NFL Coach to Win Super Bowl Ring Associated Press Merely by stepping on the field Sunday, Tony Dungy made cultural history. A few hours later, he won the Super Bowl, too. Not bad for a day’s work. Long saddled with a reputation as a coach who couldn’t win the big one, Dungy shook that label when his Indianapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29-17. The biggest win of Dungy’s career came against his close friend and protege, Bears coach Lovie Smith. They were the first black head coaches in the 41-year history of the Super Bowl. When the game ended, Dungy was hoisted onto the shoulders of his team. He switched his blue Colts cap for a white one that read “NFL champions” and walked to midfield, where he and Smith exchanged
words and a hug. Dungy held on for an extra second. Their relationship dates to 1996, when Dungy hired Smith to coach linebackers for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were a page-one story throughout Super Bowl week, discussing daily the laid-back personalities and Christian faith they share, as well as their groundbreaking success. “I’m proud to be the first AfricanAmerican coach to win this,” Dungy said during the trophy ceremony. “But again, more than anything, Lovie Smith and I are not only African-American but also Christian coaches, showing you can do it the Lord’s way. We’re more proud of that.” Dungy won because he had the better quarterback. Like his coach, Peyton Manning filled a void in his impressive resume by winning a ring.
Steady rain made for a sloppy game that included eight turnovers, but Manning threw for 247 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown pass. “We’re proud to have won this for our leader, Coach Dungy,” Manning said. Smith’s erratic young quarterback, Rex Grossman, made the same kind of mistakes that had Bears fans lobbying for his benching all season. He threw two interceptions, with one returned for a touchdown, and he fumbled twice, losing one. Smith stayed with his quarterback, and the underdog Bears found themselves gradually overpowered by the Colts. In the early going, it appeared Smith might pull off an upset against his former mentor. Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a score, and Smith followed the rookie down the sideline and signaled touchdown.

baseball: sweeps stanford (From Page 8)
There wasn’t a lack of excitement though as Bryan Harris picked up the win for the Titans, Bleich got the loss for Stanford, and Nolan Bruyninckx got the save for Fullerton. Titan Freshman Sean Urena, who made his college debut, struggled at times but turned in a commendable effort as he pitched five innings, giving up six hits and one earned run with 81 pitches. “Before the national anthem you get little butterflies, but after the first pitch everything felt good and started rolling,” Urena said. Everything appeared to be going well for Stanford until Titan first basemen Jake Vasquez led off the seventh inning with a screamer into right field. Bleich then had a wild pitch for Stanford, enabling Titan catcher Dustin Garneau to get on base and Titan center fielder Clark Hardman loaded the bases with a single. Bleich got the hook from Stanford skipper Mark Marquess and it quickly went downhill for Stanford from there. Titan shortstop Joe Scott promptly hit a single, driving in what proved to be the game-winning runs. “You never know what’s going to happen so we kept pressing it on and it turned out to be good for us,” Scott said. “Last year we got swept by them, it’s definitely good to start out on a good foot.” Stanford ended up using eight different pitchers when it was all said and done. After Marquess put in his fourth
By CArlos delgado/For the Daily Titan TITAN PRIDE – Cal State Fullerton baseball fans cheer for their team during the Titans’ game on Saturday night. CSUF came back to defeat Stanford 6-5 at Goodwin Field. On Sunday, the Titans came back out to defeat Stanford 12-10 to sweep their opening series of the 2007 season. pitcher in the seventh inning for Stanford, one fan screamed, “Is that the bus driver? Who else is left?” After the seventh inning with the Titans leading 11-2, fans started
heading toward the exits so they could presumably watch the Super Bowl. Stanford came back with six runs in the eighth inning though, giving
Titan manager George Horton a scare. “I was worried because I have a lot of respect for Stanford,” Horton said. “I was really worried when Es-
cue took that at bat and was fouling them off and the energy from their dugout reminded me of a Titan dugout when we do that and come from behind.”
The specific at-bat Horton was referring to is when Stanford first basemen Grant Escue had a 14 pitch at-bat and fouled off nine straight balls. Stanford and Fullerton combined for 30 hits and 22 runs, providing plenty of offense for everyone to see. Fourteen different pitchers were also used. “It’s pretty common to see these types of games on Sunday,” Horton said. “You play two night games and then it’s sunny and hitters hit better in the daytime.” The sure to be talked about seventh inning had the Titan crowd buzzing and the players were noticeably excited as well. “Hitting is contagious,” Urena said. “A couple of guys got on and had a couple big hits and it just kept going. Our 10th and 11th runs we needed because they almost came back and got us.” Scott led the Titans with three hits and three RBIs. Third baseman Evan McArthur, right fielder Chris Jones, and center fielder Clark Hardman all had two RBIs for the Titans. “I think it’s important because this is a young club and we’re trying to figure out our competitive personality and whether or not we are going to be worthy of being called a good team,” Horton said. The Titans hit the road next weekend to challenge the UNLV Rebels in Las Vegas, Nev. Horton said that the win allowed the Titans to build some confidence, particularly against their Northern California foes. “The thing I like about it is it gives us a chance to have some swagger in a Titan uniform,” Horton said.
Women’s Basketball Falls Short Against Big West Rival BY TOM SHERIDAN
For the Daily Titan sports@dailytitan.com
Unable to overcome a big halftime deficit, the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team had its three-game win streak halted by UC Riverside 80-73 in Saturday’s Big West Conference match up at Titan Gym. CSUF senior guard Andrea Adams poured in a team-high 25 points, but the Titans – who trailed the Highlanders by 13 points at the half
– found themselves facing an uphill battle for much of the contest. “We were hoping that we could come back,” Adams said. “I just kept shooting hoping that we could probably do something, like a miracle would happen.” With both teams deadlocked at 10 point, four minutes and thirtytwo seconds into the game, UC Riverside (13-9, 7-1) began to take advantage of its hot first-half shooting, hitting 5-9 shots from beyond the arc in the first period. In contrast, the Titans (10-12, 4-4) made only
2-10 from downtown. “We played hard in the first half but they shot 55 percent,” CSUF women’s head coach Maryalyce Jeremiah said. “We don’t respond positively towards that.” After falling behind UCR 15-10, senior guard Audrey Taylor got one of her game-high eight assists when she found fellow backcourt mate, junior guard Dayana Frias, in the corner for a long two-pointer. Frias finished the game with 19 points, toppling the previous career-high of 18 points she posted in the Titans’
last victory over UC Davis on Jan. 27. “If I’m open I’ll shoot it,” Frias said. “That’s how it is.” The conference-leading Highlanders seemed unfazed, bouncing right back to stretch their lead to 29-17. Confident coming into the game, Coach Jeremiah was surprised at the Titans’ lack of intensity. “We were very, very prepared for this game,” Jeremiah said. “Everybody knew what they were going to do and we just did not execute defensively.”
She found the spark the Titans’ offense needed when 5-foot-6 inch super-sub Adams came into the game. Adams used her superior quickness to drive to the basket and finish off an acrobatic reverse layup despite her size disadvantage. The score started a 7-0 CSUF run, cutting the lead to five points with 3:59 left in the period. “Coach J. said that when I come in, I always somehow get the team going,” Adams said. “I think yeah, I probably did spark them up a little
bit.” The score remained 29-24 until UCR’s Amber Cox hit a three-pointer one minute and forty-five seconds later. Two Toni Thomas (12 points, 6 rebounds) free throws were all the Titans would get before the wheels fell off. UCR finished off the half with a 7-0 run of its own and sent the Titans into the locker room down 3926. SEE HOOPS - PAGE 5

Super Manning and the Colts Gel at the Big Game Titans The golden child of the NFL finally gets Super Bowl championship BY ADAM LEVY
Daily Titan Executive Editor alevy@dailytitan.com
Peyton Manning finally had his day in the sun – in a torrential downpour, no less. The Canton-bound signal caller completed 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards to lead the Colts to a 29-17 victory in Superbowl XLI over the Chicago Bears Sunday in Miami. The continuous South Florida rainfall did not slow down the illustrious quarterback, who passed for a touchdown and interception en route to winning the game’s MVP award. Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy praised Manning for his leadership and work ethic in an interview with The Associated Press. He said of his signal caller: “He prepares, he works, does everything you can do to win games and lead your team; this guy is a Hall of Fame player and one of the greatest ever to play.” Equally integral to the Colts victory was a pair of stellar performances on the ground, as halfbacks Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes combined for 264 all-purpose yards. Addai had 10 catches in the win. “We knew it would be a running football game, and I’m glad we got it

That’s what we’ve been doing all year; it’s just going out there and believing in each other that we can get the job
done for our teammates,” in an interview with The Associated Press. The Bears had the early momentum with Devin Hester’s 92-yard dash that made Super Bowl history, as the rookie became the first player to return the opening kickoff for a
touchdown. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning needed a few series to get into his groove, but eventually found receiver Reggie Wayne for a 53-yard score, which pulled the Colts to a 7-6 deficit.
Chicago quickly struck back on their ensuing possession, as Thomas Jones’ 52-yard scamper set up a 4-yard pass from quarterback Rex Grossman to veteran receiver Mushin Muhammad that give the Bears a 14-6 lead to close out the first quarter play. Eventually, Cinderella’s glass slipper would break, and it came in the second quarter, when the Colts scored 10 unanswered points. Adam Vinateri booted a 29-yard field goal and running back Dominic Rhodes punched in a 1-yard score, putting the Colts up 16-14, a lead they would not relinquish. Though Vinateri missed a 36-yard chip shot to end the first half, the clutch kicker bounced back with a pair of thirdquarter field goals (24, 20) to give the Colts an eight-point lead. As the fourth quarter commenced, the Colts sealed it when Grossman’s lob down to receiver Bernard Berrian was picked off by Indy defensive back Kelvin Hayden, who kept his footing and juked his way 56 yards down the field for a touchdown. The score gave the Colts 29-17 lead, good enough for the franchise’s first championship in 36 years. “I love this being a team win, because that’s what we’ve done all season,” he said. “We just kept chipping away at it and getting some points,” Manning said, in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’m proud to be part of this team – It’s hard to put it into words.”
Survive Opening Weekend CSUF baseball wins a four–hour 12-10 Sunday slugfest to sweep series BY JASON KORNFELD
Daily Titan Staff Writer sports@dailytitan.com
Cal State Fullerton Men’s baseball proved to be too much to handle for Stanford as the Titans won 12-10 in front of 1,964 fans Sunday afternoon at Goodwin Field in Fullerton. Stanford had the upper hand as they led 2-1 in what appeared to be a pitchers duel between Jeremy Bleich for Stanford and Sean Urena for Fullerton through the first six innings. The Titans had other plans though as they exploded for an 11 run, 10 hit seventh inning that lasted about 45 minutes. The Titans completed their opening weekend with the sweep of Stanford improving to 3-0 in a game that ran 3:51, making some fans antsy.
