News about Mormons, Mormonism,
and the LDS Church

Summarized by Gregor McHardy

LDS BBall Star Madsen Copes with Rowdy Fans (Stanford girds for bumpy Oregon trail)
San Francisco CA Examiner 12Jan00 S2
By Mark Fainaru-Wada: Of the Examiner Staff

Mark Madsen, an LDS basketball star at Stanford University, has had to cope with some pretty wild crowds on the Cardinal's away trips. Oregon U's students spit on him with beaming smiles, and Oregon State University's Beavers (whose student cheering section contributed to big home wins against Stanford, Arizona and UCLA) screamed "we hate Joseph Smith and the Mormon Church. We're gonna attack Salt Lake City." One can only imagine what they yelled at other, less religious visiting players.
