Seattlest Pix: 08Oct07

Aw, thanks, Redhook. We really appreciate the sentiment. Now, if you could help the Seahawks or the Huskies start winning, we'd be even more grateful. Don't forget to add your lovely sentiments and photos to the Seattlest Flickr Pool. more ›

Huskies Upset UCLA

Huskies Upset UCLA

Strong defense and Justin Dentmon stepping up late in the second half gave the Huskies their fourth straight win against the Bruins in Hec-Ed, and Seattlest its second great sports moment of 2008. more ›

Get Out Tonight: Huskies at UCLA

Get Out Tonight: Huskies at UCLA

When we lived in LA we had no problem watching the Huskies play at Pauley Pavilion. We could just get in our car, hop on the 10, and presto, eight hours later we were in the building. more ›

Hawaii 35, Washington 28

Hawaii 35, Washington 28

We haven't read a ton of military history, but we've read enough to know that the most grievous mistakes by battle commanders aren't those that lead to defeat, but those that are made in the wake of victory. The biggest mistakes are by commanders who, having driven their opposition into full retreat, fail to press the advantage, chase the retreaters down, and destroy them. To cite just one example, had Confederate General P.G.T Beauregard ordered... more ›

Washington 84, Long Beach St. 69

Washington 84, Long Beach St. 69

By now, we've learned not to doubt Husky basketball coach Lorenzo Romar. But every once in a while, some small neuron of unease activates inside our brain, like tonight, against Long Beach State, when Romar had his team playing zone defense for most of the second half while the 49ers got closer and closer and closer. It wasn't so much that LBS was scoring in bunches against the zone, but rather that when the Huskies... more ›

Get Out Saturday: Washington vs. Arizona @ Husky Stadium

Get Out Saturday: Washington vs. Arizona @ Husky Stadium

There is no prettier place in America to watch a sporting event than Husky Stadium. Boats dot Lake Washington off the east end zone, the foothills are beyond, and, off in the gloaming, the Cascades. And there's the Husky band too, who last week did a James Brown tribute. Seriously, even if you aren't into sports, you should check it out. more ›

An Interview With James Clauss, The Classics Professor Who Traveled to Greece with the Husky Basketball Team

Last month the Husky basketball team went to Greece together. They played some local teams but, also, since they are students too, got some in-depth instruction on Greek history from Dr. James Clauss of the UW Classics department. Dr. Clauss is also head of the UW Honors program, and a winner of the UW's Distinguished Teaching award. more ›

Jake Locker Is Your Starting Husky Quarterback

Jake Locker Is Your Starting Husky Quarterback

The Huskies released their spring depth chart today, and oh-so-highly touted quarterback Jake Locker is listed as the #1 QB. Locker is expected by the type of Husky fan who spends a lot of time on message boards to lead the program back to excellence. He's 6-2, 210, and fast. Scout.com calls him "a bigger Marques Tuiasosopo with a stronger arm." more ›

We Can Now Forget About Women's Basketball For Several Months

We Can Now Forget About Women's Basketball For Several Months

There are going to be some angry PR people in sports media land. The Storm have one big off-season story, who they will draft. That draft is today. But the Huskies completely stole their thunder by announcing picking their new women's coach. Weird...anyway, here's the scoop, courtesy of the Times. more ›

Spencer Hawes Denied His Dream of an NIT Championship

Spencer Hawes Denied His Dream of an NIT Championship

The Huskies weren't among the 64 teams picked for the NCAA tournament, then neither were they among the 32 teams picked for the NIT. Down here at Seattlest HQ, stunned silence. After the first two regions were revealed, we sort of joked, "Uh-oh, looks like we didn't make it!" And then, when the final bracket was shown, well, wow...we really didn't make it! more ›

The Huskies Got Beat By Wazzu

Losing Look for Stanford

Losing Look for Stanford

Stanford coach Trent Johnson, not happy after Kenny Brown committed the ultimate bailout foul, hacking the Dawgs' Adrian Oliver as Oliver shot a desperation three with the shot clock at 1. Oliver hit all three free throws, giving Washington an eleven-point lead. The Huskies won 64-52 [Times], [P-I], [San Francisco Chronicle] more ›

Dear Huskies: Enough With the Turnovers Already!

Dear Huskies: Enough With the Turnovers Already!

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. more ›

Huskies Find It Difficult to Get 9-Inch-Wide Basketball Into 18-Inch-Wide Hoop

'Member when we made a funny ha-ha joke about thieves breaking into staged homes for sale? Well--irony of ironies--a thief did same to a friend's house last night, so we had to Tivo Saturday morning's Husky game while we spent the day repairing a broken door frame. more ›

All The News

--Someone fired a gun six blocks from Gov. Gregoire today in Tacoma. There are also reports of gunshots in downtown Seattle today and Seattlest is 90% sure we saw Gregoire in Seattle at 5th and Virginia at noon. 90%. We thought about introducing ourselves or ripping off a few rounds to mark the occasion, but didn't. more ›

Last March and Last Night, Appleby Came Through

Last March and Last Night, Appleby Came Through

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. more ›

Tonight's The Dawgs' Best Chance at a Big Win

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. more ›

Top Ten Sportsball Games of 2006

10. Mariners vs Yankees (August 22): The Yankees kept taking the lead and the Mariners kept coming back. In the ninth, with the score tied 5-5, A-Rod came up with a clutch bases loaded strike out. Later that inning Adrian Beltre won the game on a walk off home run. more ›

October, Please End

October, Please End

On the last day of September, the Huskies beat Arizona for their third consecutive victory, and the Seahawks were in Chicago, feeling pretty good about inaugurating October against the Bears. Sure, Shaun Alexander was out, but their potent four-receiver attack had rolled over the Giants. more ›

One Last Look at Glory

One Last Look at Glory

Before we are forced to re-live 1947 and gather around the radio for Saturday night's Husky game, we thought it would fun to take one last look at last Saturday’s incredible win over UCLA. We were at the game yelling our head off durring the second half. Our friend wasn't, but sent us his thoughts throughout the game via text message. more ›

Sports Ramblings

Sports Ramblings

--We were feeling like sort of a dork for spending our Friday night at the Garfield/Franklin football game, but less so when current NY Knick Nate Robinson sat down about fifteen feet from us. Robinson's brother Jacque is a senior running back for the Bulldogs. Older brother was there with a few friends. For the most part, people left him alone. We snapped a few clandestine photos of us with the Great in the background. more ›

For a non-conference game, the Fresno State game is pretty big

For a non-conference game, the Fresno State game is pretty big

In a piece last month, we called Fresno State, a team that lost to Nevada, Tulsa, and Louisana Tech last year, "not that good." Soon, the comment box was teeming with the indignation of uppity Fresno State fans, broadcasting their inferiority complexes widely by calling our piece "stupid ass" and "illogical." more ›
