Ty Golfs a Lot.

I don’t have a funnier headline than that right now. I think I need a Gatorade or something. Anyway, it’s enough for now, because all I really wanted to do was share this little column about Washington’s feelings for Ty and get to some excellent quotes:
Upon arrival at the pro shop, I talked to a U-Dub staffer who had some advice.
“If I can make a suggestion with Tyrone, he’s not one to bother while he’s golfing,” she said.
When I approached the 10th tee, Willingham was on the 10th fairway, and I almost went out there to bother him but stopped because I didn’t have good questions and he wouldn’t have good quotes even if I did.
and…
Sean, a Huskies fan who didn’t want to give out his last name, fearing what, I don’t know, said: “I think Ty’s a little overhyped. You talk to some of the alums, and they’re like: ‘Is there something else?’ They’re happy to have Ty, but they’re not enamored with Ty.”
Sean saw Willingham on the range and asked him about his handicap. “He’s a 7,” Sean said. “He’s not recruiting hard enough if he’s a 7.”
Heh. Now I’m off to get some Rasperatermelime Rush or some such crap.

I’m very happy for the Washington fans. They might be content to wallow in mediocrity, but I’m not.
I do need some help correcting my slice, however, and maybe Tyrone could get in touch….

It sickens me that he got to a 7 at the expense of the glory of the ND name.

This will never get old to me. Ty sucks.

I wish he’d go back to his alma mater, Michigan State, or even better, Michigan

Charlie may be able to get recruits to the NFL, but with Ty you have a shot at playing one of those Celebrity Pro-Am Golf things, and possibly getting paired with some dude from Days Of Our Lives, or Kenny G. Mold Me.

I like this doozy:
Steve Galvagno of Snohomish weighed in with a 7 1/2, saying: “We’re going to start winning games we should win because of Willingham.”
Actually, Steve, that is the exact opposite of what you are going to do…
