He'd be this guy if this guy had been the captain and had no interest in self-preservation. He'd cut the lines on the lifeboats and shoot anyone who tried to get off the ship. If he's going down, everybody's going down with him. For 60 minutes Saturday night, Cody Bruns sat. Suffering from a slight hamstring injury, he watched with the rest of the 63,996 inside Husky Stadium, as Washington lost again, this time to Oregon State. Two weeks earlier, for reasons that still don't make ...
Never Letting It Go
Fraudriguez Offered Job to Dude that Might Be Racist. Or Might Not. Could Be Though!
This really is just a confusing story on ESPN. I'm not really sure what the point is, and after reading it I think I only get about 50% of what's going on. I only post and comment on it to 1) point out again that DickRod somehow manages to get tangled up in messy stuff constantly. It's fun!   And 2) to mess with our loyal scUM reader or 2 out there. It just seems that Fraudy McFrauderson tends to associate with shady people.  This will not serve him well over ...
Fun Schadenfreude Fact of the Day
Charlie Weis and Notre Dame have won and will win as many games against Pac-10 teams in 2007 as Ty Willingham and Washington (2 wins each). Bonus Fun Schadenfreude Fact of the Day: Weis has won just as many games against Pac-10 opponents as Ty Willingham since Weis has been at ND and Willingham has been at Washinton (a total of 6 wins each since 2005). Sub-bonus fact: Weis and ND's winning percentage against Pac-10 teams: 67%. Willingham and UW's winning percentage against Pac-10 ...
Texas A&M Not Really Serious About Football Anymore
Hey, remember when Texas A&M really meant something in football? They had real pride in the program, had some interesting if not "cool" traditions, and were known for some excellent defense? Well, apparently Texas A&M no longer takes football seriously. COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M apparently will not waste much time in naming a replacement for football coach Dennis Franchione, who resigned under pressure after Friday's win over Texas in the regular-season finale. A new coach could be ...
Exceeding All Expectations Sunday Thru Friday. Not.
The Washington fanbase may have to stop kidding itself now. 2 of Ty Willingham's latest recruits in the class that achieved vertigo-inducing heights of a top-30 ranking may not be qualified academically for the 2007 season. Awwwwwww. [youtube]qY0pi3WPvq4[/youtube] ...
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 ...
Willingham Not Bothered by Mora, Missed 3 Footer on the 9th
Tyrone Willingham is apparently not bothered by comments made by Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Jim Mora Jr. "To be very honest, I haven't thought very much about this until, gosh, it was a dead issue. I was doing what we do, which is recruit, and that's where my focus was," Willingham said Monday. Mora had made comments on a radio talk show indicating that, if the Washington Huskies Head Coaching job were open, he'd leave Atlanta to take it. These comments enraged Altanta Falcons ownership and ...
A Call For Change
Well, that didn't take long. ...
Dear Lord, Please Let This Happen
As Kermit mentioned yesterday, The Smith was fired from The Michigan State University. Today the speculatin' and hootin' and hollerin' and what-not begin. And a Michigan (SUCKS!) paper has mentioned the unmentionable as a possible candidate for the job: Tyrone Willingham, University of Washington head coach Pros: Former MSU player has integrity and extensive head-coaching experience. Also has NFL ties. Con: Coaching ability disproved questioned when fired from Notre Dame. Lord, I ...
Ty Willingham Blogs, Internet Brought To Its Knees
The folks at Every Game Counts have brought the world a blog post by Washington Football Head Coach, Philosopher, Poet, and Gentleman Ty Willingham. The post is so obtuse that the combination of words actually caused a massive internet outage, as nothing so stupid had ever been posted on the web before. In it, Willingham expresses how importantly he holds a work ethic in the grand scheme of things. Notre Dame fans and the head pro at the Notre Dame Golf Course ask, "What Work Ethic?" If ...
