This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs.

A more dismal Northwest football weekend we can hardly remember.

The Pac-10 media pre-season football poll is out--saw it first on the Husky football wonderland that is Bob Condotta's blog--and the Huskies are ninth. USC is a unanimous pick for first. Only Stanford will suck worse than the Huskies, according to the fourth estate.

Spring practice is underway (the Huskies start April 9), so here's an early look at the Pac-10 in 2007

The weather outside will be frightful, but the hoops will be f-ing delightful at Bellevue Community College Saturday for the Les Schwab Hoops Challenge.

As has been pointed out in the local media, in the same old boring and un-imaginative way (Ugh, we don't even know what this guy was trying to say), Saturday is the annual cross state match-up between Washington and Washington State.

We're going to have to disagree with this assertion by the good folks at subscription site Dawgman.com. They're talking about the PAT block that helped UW beat Fresno State on Saturday.

Rainier Beach, Seattlest's favorite high school hoops team, got upset in the state quarterfinals last night, by Lynden High.

Is this a high school basketball team or a 30's detective novel?

Let's say your boss was talking about your work performance to a group of strangers, and said that he intended to "look very closely at our situation to make sure we have things in the right order," and, when asked what you could do better, said "just things that we expect."

A basketball is 9.39 inches across. A basketball hoop is 18 inches across. A perfectly placed shot has very little air on either side of it as it swishes through the rim. Four inches in any direction, and it's a brick. More than a little luck is involved.

The Washington men's basketball team continued their consistent, poised play with a split of two games in Arizona over the weekend. Even Thursday's 92-81 loss to the Arizona Wildcats demonstrated how good this team is. Despite their worst shooting performance of the season, the Huskies stayed close, in a hostile arena, against the 11th-best team in the country. I don't know if there is a phrase to describe the opposite of a Pyrrhic victory, but this was just that, so for now let's call an encouraging defeat a "Husky special."
