CROSSROADS
CO Lee Groinman, 25 October 2012

"Will Keith Price get it all together? Will we see an offensive game plan that gives winning a chance? Does Derrick Brown get off the bench? Can the Huskies find their BIG BOY PANTS?

Not the time for pink pants...Sorry Tailgater, that was last week...(Full Story)
 

HOW WASHINGTON DROPPED THE (FOOT) BALL
Lynn Borland, 15 November 2011

During the era of Coach Gilmour Dobie, Washington was poised to be forever included in the annals of college football as one of top five teams in the history of the game. Why this never happened reads like a fable where truth is stranger than fiction. (Full Story)


BLAME IT ON NGATA
Rich Linde, 11 November 2011

Oregon's mastery over Washington, its 8-game winning streak, began in 2004, not coincidentally with the emergence in the rivalry of defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. (Full Story).


WILTED ROSES (1944 & 1950), A PLOY AND A PLAY
Rich Linde, 12 September 2011

Both the 1944 Rose Bowl and the 1950 matchup with Cal share a significant place in Husky history, the 1944 game because of the psychological ploy used by USC coach Jeff Cravath and the 1950 game because of a controversial play called by Don Heinrich. (Full Story).


DUAL IN THE RAIN AND SUN
Jim Owens versus Tommy Prothro
Rich Linde, 15 August 2011

Forget Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Their duel almost pales in comparison to a 46 year-old dustup that featured the gun-slinging Wyatt Earp (Jim Owens) versus the wily, poker-playing Doc Holliday (Tommy Prothro). (Full Story).


IN SCOREBOARD, BABY JOURNALISM LOSES

THE CASE FOR GILMOUR DOBIE
26 May 2011

DID EMMERT KEEP THE ATHLETICS PROGRAM FROM IMPLODING?
29 April 2010

Criticizing Mark Emmert and his search committees for the hiring paths they chose in 2004 ignores past history and a wayward athletics program that was on NCAA probation. (Full Story).


THE FIRING OF GILMOUR DOBIE: TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS
Rich Linde, 31 March 2010

Why did University of Washington president Henry Suzzallo (1915-1926) fire a football coach who was unbeaten in 62 games -- a coach who had a record of 59-0-3 in the period from 1908 through 1916 -- that coach being the legendary Gilmour Dobie? (Full Story).

He is to UW as Rockne is to Notre Dame

MEET THE REAL GILMOUR DOBIE
Lynn Borland, October 28, 2009

The legendary Gilmour Dobie (58-0-3) coached Washington football from 1908 until 1916. In researching Dobie’s coaching career, biographer Lynn Borland discovered so many factual errors in the record he had to go back to the original sources to sort out fact from fiction. If we fans and alumni of Washington are to give Dobie and his great players their proper due, we owe it to them to set the record straight. (Full Story).

THE 1960 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE BLACK ATHLETE
Richard Linde, 21 April 2007

Because so much emphasis is placed on winning a national championship in football nowadays, going back in time and claiming what is rightfully yours is hardly a nutty notion. It is a keen idea that smacks of perspicacity. 

Some asterisks must be considered -- including race discrimination, strength of schedule, the polls, and who beat whom -- but, all in all, the 1960 Dawgs that year were the best of the best in my mind.  (Full Story).


REMINISCING, A QUESTION AND ANSWER
Malamute, 26 March 2006

Outplaying the number-one seed Memphis, UCLA deserves its trip to the final four. Winning the Pac-10 title, along with the tournament at Staples Arena, were crucial to the Bruins’ success; their last seven games were played in Los Angeles, San Diego and Oakland, all of them close to home cooking. (Full Story).


PIONEERS OF THE WEST COAST OFFENSE
Richard Linde, 4 March 2006

In some cases, not knowing one’s ancestral tree is better left alone. What good service to your psyche is rendered by finding out that a person from your lineage was beheaded about the time that Ann Boleyn was disloyal to her husband Henry VIII? (Full Story).


CREATING JOKES USING FOOTBALL'S VOCABULARY
Richard Linde, 16 May 2005

THOSE WERE THE DAYS -- REMINISCING
Those polite, disbelieving smiles
By Richard Linde, Updated 23 March 2005

I've seen a lot of Husky basketball greats: Sammy White and his leaping, underhanded lay-up shot; there was Joe Cipriano, who could go coast-to-coast with anybody. How about Bob Houbregs (left) and his graceful hook shot? Captain Hook led the Dawgs to the final four in 1953, their only appearance. (Full Story).


LINDZY CAN BRING IT ON
Lily McDonald and Lindzy Bury perform at Husky Stadium
By: Rich Linde, 17 September 2002

From time to time, Washington cheerleader Lindzy Bury (left) will send us photos of the aerial stunts/acrobatics that our cheerleaders perform at Husky Stadium and on the road. These stunts are amazing. Our cheerleaders at Washington are every bit as dedicated to Husky sports as any of the members of our athletic teams. (Full Story).
