Biggest disappointment? It’s the Lowering of Expectations

A post the other day from HuskyHalfBrains.com raised an interesting point.  The biggest disappointment of all that has been brought forth in the three years of Tyrone Willingham coaching the Huskies has been the lowering of expectations.
Back in 1998, a 6-6 record got UW coach Jim Labright fired from his job.  I remember Washington’s sixth win [...]

Candid Camera- Show Host goes berzerk

This is pretty funny.  While “interviewing” rising tennis star Sunita Rao, this host goes berzerk, with a camera secretly monitoring Rao’s perplexed reactions.  It’s mostly in English.

Luring teams to play Hawaii is tough

 
The likes of Michigan and Michigan State backed out of playing Hawai’i this season.  This has contributed to the Warriors having an extremely flimsy schedule this year.  This Saturday’s game vs. Washington (4-8) looms as the largest in Hawai’i history.  A berth in the Sugar Bowl rides on the outcome.

This Christmas, I want my Huskies back

 
 This past Sunday, following Washington’s stunning collapse to the Cougars in the Apple Cup, I was talking on the phone to a friend of mine.   “Willingham needs more time,” he pleaded.  “Three years isn’t enough to fill the team with his players and get his system into place.”

Apple Cup Disaster: The Past is Prologue

In the wake of Tyrone Willingham and Kent Baer’s defense surrendering another record-setting performance against an opponent’s QB,  I stumbled upon this article from Willingham’s last season at Notre Dame.  While I don’t like to pile on, it is incredible to read this.  You can simply change the names and it’s the same old sad story we [...]
