The huskies will have to suck for decades before they catch up to the accumulated suckiness of the cougars (the UW football team, of course, has been doing its best lately... oh wait, who Coug'd it in the Apple Cup this year?)

Anyway, no matter how much it might suck to be a husky at the moment, we don't have to spend the rest of our lives with the knowledge we wasted four (or more) years of our youth in Pullman. You'll never have those back.

You should clarify in the title of this article, that it is the WOMENS basketball team that scored this game, you dont mention that the Husky mens basketball team LOST MISERABLY to the COUGARS 75-47 for a HUGE 28 point loss. Must suck to be a husky, once again.....

AND they beat the Cougars.

No, but we're prepared to assert that the far better version of the sport is played by people who don't have what passes for their brains dangling between their legs.
