Ducks, Huskies UW @ Oregon: Ducks O-Line Domination Watch
12:00 PM on Aug 27 2008 by Seth Kolloen

Okay, yeah, the spread-option is a brilliant invention, blah blah, but you don't run for *465 yards* unless you have a damn good offensive line. The Ducks blew the Huskies off the ball last October, and I'll prove it to you: The Huskies' three leading tacklers that day were defensive backs. That's practically unheard of--especially so when an opponent runs the ball 62 times. What's even more terrifying is that the defensive ... MORE »

It is this time every year that snowboard and ski movies begin making their way around the globe: starting with wild premier parties, then out on tour, after time spent filming all the winter past and editing through the summer months. And with each year, the number of films put out by different companies grows. (Local film crew Funner Films is attempting to compile a list of all the ... MORE »

Cougs Wazzu vs. Okla St: Will Dez Bryant Pull a Thurman Thomas?
10:34 AM on Aug 27 2008 by Seth Kolloen

Last time Oklahoma State came to Seattle, in 1985, they were here to play the Huskies. With them was a relatively anonymous sophomore running back named Thurman Thomas. Thomas wasn't unknown after that game--Husky defenders spent most of the afternoon watching the back of Thomas' jersey as he ran over the Husky defense, gaining 237 yards. He even threw a fourth-quarter TD pass that gave OSU the lead. In Oklahoma State's return to ... MORE »

Cougs Wazzu vs. Okla St: Meet Brandon Pettigrew, A Budding Jerramy …
2:00 PM on Aug 26 2008 by Seth Kolloen

Like former Husky TE Jerramy Stevens, Oklahoma State TE Brandon Pettigrew is big (6-6, 260) and fast (see video below). SI calls Pettigrew the best NFL tight end prospect in ten years (or, about since Stevens came out). He was third on the Cowboys in catches last year, and proved his ability against top Big 12 defenses, getting eight catches against both Texas and Georgia. But Pettigrew also exhibits some of ...

Cougs Andy Roof Expelled from Wazzu

Andy Roof, the Cougars' backup defensive end who became something of a flashpoint for Cougar malfeasance. After a series of alcohol-fueled arrests, Roof claimed he'd gone straight. But then he (allegedly) got into a fight at a party. As a result of that incident, he has been expelled by Wazzu's student conduct board. (This from the Spokesman-Review's Vince Grippi, via WSU Football Blog) Roof, a 6-5, 277lb. senior, didn't play ... MORE »
