Halfway through the second half of the hotly contested battle for the state of Washington, Wazoo head coach Ken Bone is just a tad too exuberant with his request for a timeout. I hope, for his sake, he was able to pick up the spare. [FSN] More »

Pac-12 football has long been the viewing domain of East Coast drunks and insomniacs, Midwestern degenerate gamblers looking to recover the day's losses, and Pacific coast... football fans. And it's often the home to the weird, the wild, and the stupid, which is exactly what happens here as Arizona's Robert Golden picks off a Washington fumble mid-air (they called it an interception, but that's obviously bullshit and I refuse to hold that against Huskies QB Keith Price) and then takes it to the end zone in the most haphazard pattern possible. A similar play happened two years ago between the two teams, when Washington's Mason Foster returned an interception that bounced off an Arizona receiver's foot: More »

West Region: No. 4 Washington (25-8) vs. No. 13 Mississippi State (23-12)
When: Thursday, 4:55 p.m., EDT
Where: Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon

WASHINGTON HUSKIES

1) Balanced Squad The Huskies are a very balanced team with 4 players averaging over 11 points per game. If you had to pick some "star" players they are Senior forward Jon Brockman who averages 14.9 PPG and 11.2 REB and Freshman point guard Isaiah Thomas who averages 15.4 PPG. Isaiah was given his name because his dad lost a bet on the NBA Finals (Lakers v. Pistons) with a friend and had to name his soon to be born son after Isiah Thomas. The mom only signed off on the deal after she was able to change the spelling to the biblical version of the name. More »

Coaches who follow in the debris-littered wake of Tyrone Willingham don't tend to fare well; just ask Buddy Teevens and Charlie Weis. But apparently Steve Sarkisian is willing to give it a shot, as ESPN and the Seattle Times are both reporting that his ascension to the head coaching position with the Washington Huskies is all but a done deal (ESPN broke the story). Why would a man who had the good sense to turn down the Oakland Raiders agree to coach a sports team in Seattle? The answers remain shrouded in mystery. More »

"Lorin “Big Lo” Sandretzky has gone through more than most. A former strip-club bouncer, he has been beaten and stabbed and watched three people die in his arms. He nearly died himself on three occasions during an emergency operation and won the lottery. In the last year, he had two additional emergency surgeries to remove abscesses in his leg, was told he had diabetes and lost 134 pounds, bringing his weight to 419." It gets worse—he's also a die-hard Seahawks fan. More »

Remember when Ty Willingham was on (or at the) top of the college football world? The guy won a Pac-10 title at Stanford (Stanford!) and in the late '90s was one of the rising stars of the college coaching world. Then in 2002, he replaced George O'Leary Bob Davie at Notre Dame and promptly went 8-0 with wins over rivals Michigan, Michigan State and Florida State. He saved Fighting Irish football! Except ... not so much. Now, after an 0-7 start and a hapless 3+ years at the University of Washington, Willingham is done. He will step down at the end of the year. More »

If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old men arguing over a woman they met in 1942. It's going to be amazing. More »

Huskies' senior forward Mike Jensen — who remarkably resembles actor Dolph Lundgren — is not much of a walker. Instead of using his own two feet, Jensen can be seen around the University of Washington campus riding around on his motorized scooter. Because of this, he has picked up the nickname — get this — Scooter. Catchy, huh? Jensen will also make plenty of hazy-eyed appearances at frat parties or local U-Dub bars. "I'm kinda shy around hot girls," he says on his Facebook.com profile. "And sometimes I make a fool of myself in public." A motorized scooter certainly won't help. More »
