Geraldine Ferraro, who claims that a black guy named Barack Obama has an advantage in running for president in America, something pretty similar to what she said about Jesse Jackson in 1988, was reluctantly shit-canned by the Clinton campaign. Presumably for not being negative enough. Luckily for us, Ferraro is a huge Husky basketball fan and agreed to share her thoughts on UDub's opening round loss 84-81 loss to Cal in the Pac Ten Tournament.

FSN mikes picked up an Oregon State fan expressing his opinion of Ryan Appleby early in the Huskies' dreadful 75-63 loss.
After watching the game, and the performance of Appleby and the other Washington guards (combined, Appleby, Dentmon and Oliver shot 5-21 and had 11 turnovers, 14 fouls, only 1 steal and only 7 assists), we were yelling something a little more profane. Barring a Pac-10 tourney miracle, the Dawgs are headed for their first NIT bid since '97.
Yesterday we wrote that the Huskies would beat #10 Wazzu, and we were wrong. Don't be that surprised, it happens a lot.
Last night the Huskies beat, barely, a crappy Cal team in a game that they should've won by 20. Once again, turnovers-a-plenty (16) held the Dawgs back.
We have had our issues with Ryan Appleby this season. The curly haired guard can seemingly do one thing on the court, hit three pointers. This season he has been struggling to do that, making him essentially useless.
So. The Huskies. The team that's our city's best chance at a 2007 championship trophy, and they can't even beat the Cougs. Historical fact: No team has ever lost to Washington State University and gone on to win the championship of anything.
As bad as the Dawgs looked against Gonzaga is how good they looked Wednesday night against LSU.
Sports Illustrated is featuring the Huskies on the cover of their College Basketball preview-- well one of the five regional covers. The west coast edition features John Brockman and…really, wow, Ryan Appleby. Huh. Justin Dentmon must have had class or something.
Brandon Roy carried the Huskies to yet another win last night. His 28 points led the Dawgs over Utah State in the first round of the tournament, and his double jab step, rise and shoot three late in the game was the nail in the Aggies' coffin.
For the first time since maybe the 2004 tournament loss to UAB, the Husky men were beat by a more athletic team Thursday, as Oregon upset them in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament.
