A slow sports weekend in Seattle meant the end of the Seahawks' playoff dreams was all the more visible. more ›

This wasn't easy to write. Everybody came up short this weekend. more ›

With one team fighting to stay in the playoffs, one team guaranteeing a spot in the postseason, and one team leaving us wondering how they'll even make it through this season, it was an up-and-down weekend in Seattle sports. more ›

The Sounders finished out the regular season with a win, but the other football teams around town didn't fare as well. more ›

Half way into the season, the Huskies are one game away from bowl eligibility. Do they have what it takes to be a serious PAC-12 contender this season? more ›

It was a good weekend to be a Seattle sports fan as the Sounders, Seahawks, and Huskies all won over the weekend. more ›

Over the long weekend, one Seattle team prepared for the postseason, one kicked off their new season, one braced for the regular season, and one wished they could put this season behind them. more ›

I mentioned in a recent CMI post my irritation at missing the September debut of Scoreboard, Baby, and author Ken Armstrong got in touch and sent along a copy to rectify this glaring hole in my Dawgs knowledge. more ›

Let's talk about what can happen when a national title contender (like LSU) plays an early season game 2,000 miles from home in a loud, hostile stadium against an unranked power conference team (like Washington). One thing that can happen is that the national title contender will get stomped. Ask the 1983 Washington Huskies. more ›

Oh frabjous day! Callooh callay! It's a very special morning here at Seattlest as we unveil a sports post from none other than Seth Kolloen, a man who has been called Seattle's worst sports blogger. We're not middle-of-the-pack here at Seattlest. We go big or go blog. Enjoy. more ›

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to win a college football game, would you capture it, or just let it slip? more ›

Back in April when our Husky tickets arrived in the mail, we carefully removed the UCLA ones and placed them in a safe place. The return of Rick Neuheisel was to be the game of the year, and we were looking to take out some program-in-free-fall frustration on Slick Rick. more ›

We are lazy. While people around us are scurrying up the metaphorical corporate ladder, we sit here in our little corner of Seattlest HQ pining away about the good old days back in college when we scored that blissfully underwhelming job counting all the parking spaces on campus. Best part? We were given three months to complete our slovenly task. Pure procrastinated perfection. more ›

Central Washington plays Western at Qwest Field this Saturday, unremarkable for non-alumni except for the fact it marks the first time real teams with winning records from the state will play in Seattle this year. more ›

Kim is relieved the debate is actually going to happen. She'll be watching with friends tonight before working all weekend. Saturday, she'll take a break for a quiet night out, and then she'll close the weekend off getting funky in the balcony of Jazz Alley with Maceo.

It seemed like every other person we passed had a maroon "Oklahoma" t-shirt tucked into their shorts and a smug air about their head region when we were walking around campus before the UW game on Saturday. By our reckoning (UCLA beat Tennessee, BYU beat UCLA, Washington was a terrible call away from taking BYU to overtime) OU were maybe going to get more of a game than they expected. And then they played the game and, it hardly seems possible, the smugness intensified around the heads of the Oklahoma faithful. Campus still looks beautiful, though. Sprizee took this shot of the sun setting on it and left it in the Seattle Flickr Pool for our enjoyment. more ›

Never one to waste a perfectly good dead cat, we decided to take a swing and create a Top Random-Number Shows Seattlest Saw This Year. And now, without any further ado, here's how your favorite bloggers broke down the year: more ›

It's cool that Drew Carey has been the face of the new Seattle MLS team, appearing at the G&D and showing up in the booth for Monday Night Football to talk about the team's plans in Seattle, but he's kind of a Cleveland guy. Couldn't we get a Seattle name that's about on par with Carey? Like....oh god there is no Seattle name on par with Drew Carey. Long live Seattle guy Drew Carey! more ›

Cooper's quiz is scheduled for 8:45 Tuesday nights, though last night's kicked off at 9:00. It's 40 questions, uncategorized. Teams trade answer sheets for scoring. After about 15-20 minutes the host announces results. That's a longish delay, but it's a well-paced quiz overall. more ›

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. more ›

The Washington Huskies have scored their first points in the Fulmer Cup, an annual competition to see which college football team is the lawbreaking-est. more ›

Back before college football got completely screwed up, the Huskies were a national power. You laugh, but it's true. more ›

Every once in a while, Seattlest likes to think that we're living a fairly fulfilled life, what with family nearby, friends we care about, and the occasional prank phone call to this one guy who punched us in fourth grade. more ›
