We are sitting in front of the TV watching the Issaquah-Skyline 4A championship game, still working on a heaping plate of leftovers from last weekend. (Does turkey have an expiration date?) This game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was moved to accommodate Bellevue, who plays Union in the 3A final. Bellevue played a rescheduled game earlier this week after their bus rolled over on the way to last week's game. Here...grab a plate.

The Seahawks lost 20-17 yesterday to the Redskins and Seattlest concurs with head coach Mike Holmgren's sentiment. He began the post-game presser simply: "Questions?" The Hawks are now 2-9 and the season is over, blah blah blah.

A few weeks ago, we chronicled the stat-crapular performance of the Washington State football team this season, whose team defense was second-to-worst in the nation. Well, Wazzu can breathe a little easier today, because the Unversity of North Texas, the school with the worst defense in the nation, had 15 players fail drug tests, with more players yet to be tested.

UPDATE: In the first hours after Willingham's firing, most local news organizations were using the word 'fired' in related stories on their websites. Later in the day, Fox13, KING, KIRO and KOMO all have edited their stories from 'fired' to 'forced to resign'. How cute.

Sports blog breaks down the Cougs' inglorious season. Shockingly, there is another team putting up worse numbers than WSU. It must suck to be North Texas.

The headlines pretty much say it all...
