This morning in Jerry Brewer’s column in the Seattle Times, I read a comment from Steve Sarkisian that made me laugh and nearly made me sick. The U Dub football coach was talking about in-state blue-chippers who – EGADS!!!! – chose to leave and play for other schools such as Stanford, USC and Notre Dame. [...]

A friend of mine named Joe had too much to drink while tailgating before the Cougar football game at San Diego State this year. At some point, the booze overtook Joe’s ability to function, and Joe fell flat on his face. He was bloodied and bewildered. My sources tell me that Joe kept saying: “What [...]

Billy Cundiff and Kyle Williams – they were the goats of the AFC and NFC championship games. This morning there are fans in Baltimore who are mad at Cundiff for missing a 32-yard field goal that would have sent their game with the Patriots into overtime. There are fans in San Francisco who are mad [...]

Let It Snow

January 20, 2012

I’m saying let it snow because we get enough rain around here, and I like the change of pace. I like the beauty of the snow. I like how quiet it is. I like sledding with my kids, which is what we did last night. They sledded a lot; I sledded down a hill and [...]

A few weeks ago, the fairly maligned Nick Holt was fired, and 48 hours later Justin Wilcox was hired to replace him as the Huskies’ defensive coordinator. Then the Dawgs brought in Peter Sirmon to replace the fired linebackers coach Cox, whose first name escapes me. Does it bother anyone over there that both of [...]

The Go 2 Twins and I went to last night’s game at Alaska Airlines Arena. Here’s the column I wrote for the Kitsap Sun; We Were In Coug Heaven. And Then It Went To… One of my kids had a hard time dealing with Washington State’s 75-65 loss to the Huskies, calling it “the worst [...]

Believing The Cougs With Beat The Dawgs Today

I guess that goes without saying. I’ll be heading to Alaska Airlines Arena with the Go 2 Twins and though we believe the Cougs are GOING to win, a little extra hope wouldn’t hurt. There’s precedent – we beat the Dawgs in Seattle last year. Both teams, frankly, are worse than they were last year. [...]

Money Can’t Buy My Interest (love, yes)

January 10, 2012

Even though I put some money on Alabama, I was still bored with the national championship game last night. I know that the SEC has won six national titles in a row – and in case we’d forgotten – they ran a commercial during the game telling us as much. But if that’s SEC football, [...]

If you’re a first-time visitor, thanks for stopping by the website. If you’re a regular visitor, thanks for your continued support. I’ve been sporadic with the posts of late, mostly because I was in Arizona on vacation hanging out with my kids. Not sure what to make of the Cougs’ 62-60 overtime loss to Utah [...]
