WINNERS
1 What could top [b]University of Oregon football fans’ euphoria over last Saturday’s 24-17 win over powerhouse University of Southern California? Staying alive this weekend in the national title hunt with a win over the Devil himself, coach Dennis Erickson and undefeated Arizona State University.
2 This one’s for you, lovers of unsolved mysteries: New York magazine last week purported to answer what happened to legendary Northwest skyjacker D.B. Cooper, who disappeared after parachuting out of a 727 with $200,000 in 1971. The short answer? A disgruntled airline employee got his green. The longer answer? Go to wweek.com/wwire/?p=9802.
3 Mayoral wannabe Sam Adams got a turbo PR boost from two KEX radio hosts who bought a couple of Adams-friendly Web domain names, then screamed foul when Sam Adams, the beer brewers, got ticked about it. The flap earned PDX’s Adams international ink as the victim of a big, evil corporation’s overzealous copyright lawyers. Paying attention, candidates? This is how you get free press.

3 Timberrr?Pope&Talbot , a 158-year-old Portland-based wood products firm, sought protection from creditors in a bankruptcy-like filing. The firm—which operates nine mills and employs about 2,400 people, including 280 in Oregon—will continue to operate while it negotiates a deal with lenders.
4Jefferson High School’s boys soccer team had been closing in on the state playoffs, until other coaches last week discovered one Jeff player was a fifth-year senior. All games in which the star player appeared had to be forfeited. Blame it on Jeff’s Democrats nickname: Both the soccer team and the party often lose even when they win.
