The current bet is that Brockman has been guaranteed by some NBA team that he'll be drafted. Said team doesn't want any other to get a good look at Brockman and therefore asked him to stay out of sight.

The Seattle Times breaks the story of just how diseased college sports fans have become. The newspaper got about 1,000 emails that Husky fans sent to University of Washington president Mark Emmert, athletic director Todd Turner, and coach Ty Willingham through a public records request.

It's got Pirelli tires, modified exhaust, custom paint, and the driver's side once held the actual ass of an NBA player.

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.

Bob Condotta of the Times was there, and has the scoop on his blog.

After routinely destroying our alma mater, unleashing the obscenity that is Kenny G, and sending their best-ever athlete to rival Arizona, Franklin High is finally doing something for us. Franklin's Venoy Overton, ranked the 26th-best point guard among the nation's high school seniors, rescinded his commitment to USC today and will be a Husky.

We are wrong a lot, and on Saturday evening it was a great feeling to have this fact proven once again.

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.

Husky quarterback Isaiah Stanback is out for the rest of his Husky career after his foot imploded during Saturday's loss to the Beavers.

All-everything Husky recruit Spencer Hawes is having arthroscopic surgery tomorrow. Something's floating around in his knee. From the UW press release:

The Husky secondary allowed 323 passing yards to San Jose St. in Saturday's win. The Spartans completed 80% of their passes. Yes, 80%. You might not complete that high a percentage in practice. Why even have a defense?

The 1985 Orange Bowl between UW and Oklahoma is one of Seattlest's earliest memories. After Dad told us to stop fidgeting (we were real nervous) we sat our 8-year-old butt in a chair, by the 17-inch Sony Trinitron, and watched the flickering images of a titanic Husky upset beam back from Miami.

Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford and Spencer Hawes on one squad. Our fantasy basketball team circa 2008?

For years China has been sending us cheap, crappy products, and now the US of A is about to return the favor.

Once upon a time, we'd spend August devouring Husky football coverage in anticipation of a run at the Pac-10 title. Now, we spend August searching for info on the Husky basketball team.

A quick rundown on where our beloved Husky basketball types are now.

One sentence into the lead editorial of today's Seattle Times, we decided to cancel our subscription. Here's the assertion that broke this camel's back:

Before the Huskies' 2nd round matchup vs. Illinois, we professed fear at how the Dawgs' freshman point guard, Justin Dentmon, would fare against All-Big 10 senior guard Dee Brown. Dentmon was incredible. He didn't turn the ball over once, and his late four-point-play was the catalyst for the Husky comeback.

If those dirty hippies in the Bay Area wont help support our Super Bowl bound Seahawks then we will have to do the next best thing and demolish their college basketball teams. Well, in actuality the next best thing would be to go on the radio and praise the idea of an Al-Qaeda attack on San Francisco, but we're not shit-bat insane.

Tonight at 7 pm, NCAA basketball teams may begin practicing. Many teams will celebrate the advent of a new season with "Midnight Madness"--an evening practice (often with dunk contests and other crowd-pleasing antics) that fans can view for free. Until this year, teams couldn't practice until midnight, hence the name.

Three Washington natives were picked in the first round of yesterday's NBA draft, an all-time record. So the Seattle Times asked the question: when did Seattle get to be such a hotbed of basketball talent?
