We split our Husky season tickets with friends, and before the season we picked Saturday’s UCLA game, and they got tonight’s USC contest. more ›

For the second year in a row, a legendary coach has ended his career with a loss at Qwest Field. more ›

A more dismal Northwest football weekend we can hardly remember. more ›

The trio of authors Akashic's showcasing includes the novelists Felicia Luna Lemus and Joe Meno, neither of whom we've read and therefore can't comment on. But trust us--it's worth going for Chris Abani alone. An exiled Nigerian playwright and novelist, Abani was such a thorn in the military regime's side that they even tried to assassinate him in London (prompting his move to the US, where he currently teaches at UCLA). more ›

As we were ducking out of yet another Garfield blowout loss to Franklin, we joked to our friends, "What if the Huskies and Seahawks lose too! That would sure suck." more ›

Overheard walking away from Husky Stadium: "That Trenton Tuiasosopo...I wonder if he's related to Marques Tuiasosopo?" more ›

If there's anything we learned studying literature in college, it's that everything either comes from Shakespeare, Greek mythology or the Bible. Seattlest used to entertain herself by playing "From Whence Did That Allusion Come?" Yeah, we only had two friends in college. more ›

While you're enjoying an unseasonably sunny summer afternoon, we will be at Safeco Field, showing our undying support for the 2007 Seattle Mariners, authors of one of the greatest collapses in baseball history. more ›

The food news may seem depressing, but there's hope. Bear with us. 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 ›

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 ›

Florida may have won their second straight National Championship last night, however, there will be no three-pete in Gainsville. Once National Coach of the Year Tony Bennett leads his Washington Huskies back on the court in November, they might as well mail the trophy directly to Montlake. more ›

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend... more ›

1. Savvy and Scrappy Guard Play: neither the Zags or the Hoosiers rely on getting big points from big guys inside, so whichever team can get hot from three point range and defend the three the best will have an immediate advantage. The Zags experience gives them the edge. more ›

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 ›

One first round NCAA matchup is #2-seed UCLA against #15-seed Weber State--both teams that the Huskies beat! more ›

Yesterday we wrote that the Huskies would beat #10 Wazzu, and we were wrong. Don't be that surprised, it happens a lot. more ›

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 ›

Romo sign procured from Qwest Field by our roommate, who was at the game, sitting behind two Dallas fans. For some reason they didn't take their sign with them when they left. more ›

Coach Romar changed his lineup tonight (bringing Quincy Pondexter and Justin Dentmon off the bench), and tightened his rotation (eliminating minutes for Hans Gasser, Artem Wallace and Brandon Burmeister). Still, a third straight loss for the Dawgs, 96-87 to Arizona. more ›

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 ›

This was not a very happy week for the -ist network as one of our own, more ›

The weather outside will be frightful, but the hoops will be f-ing delightful at Bellevue Community College Saturday for the Les Schwab Hoops Challenge. more ›

--Jason Schmidt's now a Dodger, so the Mariners' list of decent available free agent pitchers is down to one, and so is every other team in the majors. If Barry Zito were a corporation, you'd be selling your kidney to buy stock. more ›

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. more ›

Let's look back at a week in which no site in the -ist network adopted anyone from Africa... more ›

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 ›

The Husky athletic department is doing great work--they've figured out how to televise tomorrow's Husky/Arizona game. No, it won't be on TV, but if you go to Hec Ed they will be showing the Arizona stadium feed there, mixed in with the Husky radio broadcast. more ›
