Husky Player Charged in Attack |
|
Fitting that on the day the Huskies open their bid for an NCAA Championship, their day should be tainted by the violent off-the-field issues of their football team.
Andru Pulu, a Husky Linebacker, was charged with assault, after a violent incident in which the player physically assaulted a student trying to break up a fight.
With the Huskies still chortling amongst themselves about the off-season of the Oregon Ducks, Pulo attacked the student and "struck him on the face, knocked him to the ground and stomped on his right temple." Pulo was a vaunted recruit in Sarkheisel's first recruiting class and played as a true freshman.

From this: to this:
Need we say more?
As usual, the Huskies have sucked in 2009-2010 Men's Basketball season, falling from (Pre-Season) #9 in the country-- an accomplishment that kept pup fans barking all fall-- to being a team on the verge of not making the field of 65 at all, in what has to be considered one of the most precipitous free falls in Pac-10 history. But alas, they "are a football school again," so it doesn't matter anymore. If you listen closely, you can hear the faint cracking and popping of Lorenzo Romar's seat as it warms up. Romar built this program up mediocrity to upper mediocrity, but it may not be enough to escape the wisdom of the Tyee.
Thankfully, it is that same wisdom that leads to gems like the video above, or the "Juicy" jumpsuits last year, or the Mr. Peanut tryouts incident. Someone over in public relations at the Ewe must be a WSU mole-- because this shit is too good to make up.

Locker to NFL: "I'm Bigger Than You" |
|
"Jake Locker announced today that he would forgo his Senior season at the UW in order to enter the NFL Draft, where he was projected to be the number one overall selection. This move was widely accepted, considering the parameters at play: Locker's draft stock has nowhere to go but down, the NFL's collective bargaining agreement expires and will be renegotiated soon, ensuring that next year's class won't get the same guaranteed money as the 2010 class, the additional year of earning power, the time-value of safely-invested money, and the more obvious risk of injury or under performance. "All in all, it was a rare case of a smart and reasoned move by a Husky and one which any objective observer would have to commend him on, including those of us here at HuskiesSuck.com." That's how this post was supposed to read. That's what it would've said in the world where up is up and 1+1=2. But over on Montlake, the drugs they are smoking doesn't let them use logic and rational thought to make intelligent decisions. So instead, it reads like this: "WTF? Jake Locker announced today that he would forgo play out his Senior season at the UW in order to enter the NFL Draft endure another losing season, where he was projected to be the number one overall selection an under-performing disappointment. This move was widely accepted mocked and chided, considering the parameters at play: Locker's draft stock has nowhere to go but down, the NFL's collective bargaining agreement expires and will be renegotiated soon, ensuring that next year's class won't get the same guaranteed money as the 2010 class, the additional year of earning power, the time-value of safely-invested money, and the more obvious risk of injury or under performance. I mean, seriously, WTF? "All in all, it was a rare typical case of a smart and reasoned foolish and naive move by a Husky and one which any objective observer would have to commend him on pity him for, including those of us here at HuskiesSuck.com."
In this move, Locker embodies the arrogance of the University of Washington. Locker decided that he'd rather Bark for Sark rather than play in the most prestigious professional sports league in the world. He decided that he's too important to be bothered by the jeopardies facing rookies under the new CBA. That he's above the natural law of risk (despite his fequent appearances on the injury report) and that he's so darn special that he can't possibly get hurt and ruin his career. He's decided that he's bigger than the NFL itself. Bigger than the league that alone fosters interest in the game he plays, that will potentially keep him from working at a Wendys after he graduates. Locker just "big-time'd" the NFL, and for what? More opportunities to continue to be the " solidified loser who's selfish actions cost his team" that he is. What possible reasons could there be for making such a stupid, risky decision? What does it take for a person to make such a decision without regard to its consequences? Generally, those types of decisions are made by people who follow their heart rather than their mind. People for whom the connection of a personal relationship transcends material things like money. People who are normally reasonable people but under the durress of the most powerful of human emotions-- love-- make decisions with their body that their mind's can't justify. People who share a special relationship with a special lady... like Jake and his mom.
