I know the Husky game has come and gone, and the team is looking forward, but fans don’t have to do that. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Husky message boards and blog posts lately and it’s been pretty entertaining to say the least.
My favorite, by far is the In-Game Thread on Bob Condotta’s blog Saturday night during the game. You’ll notice how the optimism is brimming at kickoff and slowing falls into Ty-Hate as the game progresses.
Below, are a sampling of comments from Condotta’s recent blog post.
Don’t get too excited. Here’s Lappano’s play book:
1st down — run up the gut, gain zero
2nd down — run up the gut, lose a yard
3rd down — pass play (results in broken play b/c half the kids don’t know WTF they’re doing out there thanks to terrible coaching) pray like crazy that Jake improvises a first down
then, if Jake gets a first down, start over
if not, punt the ball 6 yards

is it possible for UW to place 11th this year? If so, I’m sure Ty will find a way!

Ted Miller: “That should improve this week inside a home stadium where calling audibles at the line of scrimmage will be far easier than inside boisterous Autzen Stadium. ”
The Huskies have audibles?????

In an effort to help boost ticket sales, any catchy slogans out there for marketing purposes?
I have the following:
“Catch the excitement! We’re usually within striking distance in the third quarter!”
“We’ll get this thing figured out eventually!!”
“Bad clams”

I noticed several threads back that duck fans actually went from hating us and talking smack to pity. What a kick to the crotch. I’d rather have their hate than their pity.

Agree with first poster “Scott”. Also, the whole Oregon team was out to win one for their fallen comrade who died just a few weeks before.
Don’t discount the emotional motivation of a team that has been thru a tragedy.
