Russell Wilson and the Pro Bowl

I am not sure how many fans are interested
in the Pro Bowl. As a player it is an hour to
be chosen whether you play or not.

I haven't watched many of the Pro Bowl's 

over the years. Most of the time I don't

even think about the game. The Pro Bowl

really isn't played like a regular football

game. It is all about how many points each

side can score.

Anyway, Russell Wilson was named too the

Pro Bowl to take Tom Brady's spot.

I am sure a lot of talk will still be whether

Wilson be back as the Seahawks qb in 2022.

We do know he has a no trade clause as well.

So, stay tuned and if you desire see Wilson

in the pro bowl. 

Huskie Win and more

The Washington Huskies beat Utah
Saturday afternoon at home, however,
it took two overtimes to do so.

The final was Washington 77 Utah 73

The Huskies are tied for 4th with

Oregon in the Pac-12. If they continue

on they may actually make the Pac-12

tournament which is a big surprise. 

Terrell Brown Jr Huskies and Pac-12

leading scorer had 30 points. He was

the reason the Huskies won having the

ball in his hands most of the time.

This was Utah's 10th straight loss though

they didn't play that way. Shows how

the Huskies played because in the past

they may have lost to a team on a long

losing streak.

The Washington State Cougars take on

Colorado at home on Sunday. They have

a 4-3 Pac-12 record. They had several

games cancelled because of covid. Those

games should be made up depending on

how the season goes. 

The Seattle Kraken were scheduled to

play the Islanders in New York, however,

the game was postponed because of a lot

of snow. The game is expected to be made

up on this coming Wednesday. They are

expected to play Sunday against the Rangers.

Have to see how it goes since New York

had more snow.

Still not sure whether the Mariners or major

league baseball will start spring training on

time or not. I really hope they iron things

out. Both sides should not be so selfish to

forget the fans that allow them to do well

in the first place.

The Seahawks as far as I know still haven't

named their defensive coordinator yet. It

is possible they are waiting for this weekend

of the playoffs be over. There will be a one

week break before the Super Bowl. 

Mariner Starting Pitching

We should be excited about the starting

pitching for the Seattle Mariners going
into the 2022 season.

Robbie Ray: The Seattle Mariners signed

just before the lockout as a free agency.

The 2021 Cy Young award winner will

be the Mariners ace. Ray was 13-7 with

Toronto with an era of 2.84 in 32 games.

He struck out 248 batters in 193 and 1/3

innings.  The Mariners had to replace

Yusei Kikuchi in the rotation and not a

better pitcher to do so. Like Kikuchi he

is a lefty as well.

Marco Gonzales: Another lefty will

probably start the season as the Mariners

number two starter. In 2021 he had a 

poor start 1-3 in April then missed the

month of May because of injury. In

June Marco had another mediocre

month pitching four games with a

0-1 record and an era of 4.66. In 

July another bad month though did

have a record of 2-1 in four starts

with an era of 6.41. August, we saw

the Marco of old where he had a

record of 3-0 with an era of 1.58 in

six starts. In September with the

Mariners looking toward the playoffs

possibility Marco had a record of 4-0

with an era of 3.90. Had one start in

October where the Mariners lost. 

In all Marco had a record of 10-6

with an era of 3.96. If we can see

a healthy Marco in 2022 should be

good for the Mariners.

Logan Gilbert: Former first round

pick in his rookie season. May end

up the second-best pitcher in the 

rotation by the end of the season. 

Depending on how the Mariners

decide how the rotation goes Gilbert

could pitch after Ray. Gilbert came

up in the middle of May. Along with

August they his worst two months.

If we see the pitcher of June, July

and September it will a very good

Gilbert we see. As you know rookies

do have their growing pains. I see

him being the Mariner second best

pitcher of the season.

Chris Flexen: He was the Mariners

best pitcher for the season after 

coming over from Korea in 2021.

The Mariners signed him as a free

agent after the season he had in

2020 in Korea. Flexen was durable

without missing a start for the 2021

season. Flexen had 31 starts with

a record of 14-6 and era of 3.61.

If Flexen even comes close to that

record again in 2022 the Mariners

should make the playoffs especially

if they have a better offensive team.

The Mariners should be going with

a five-man rotation. Hard to know

whether they will pick up another

starter or not. At this point candidates

are Matt Brash right-handed pitcher 

the Mariners picked up in a trade at

deadline in 2020 for reliever Taylor

Williams who was the teams closer

at the time. Brash began the season

at high level-A then made it up to

double-A Arkansas. Had the Mariners

not trying to make the playoffs Brash

may have pitched for them in September.

The Mariners are hoping he will be

the teams fifth starter. Other possibilities

are Justus Sheffield, Justin Dunn who 

both missed time with injuries along with

having poor seasons, and lefty Nick

Margevicius who was injured late April

and missed the rest of the season. Nick

started the season in the bullpen when

Dunn beat him out for the sixth spot. 

Nick had three starts after taking over

for James Paxton after he was injured

in his first start of the season. 

Next up when tackling the Mariners

will be the bullpen. The reason the

Mariners had a successful 2021 season.

They could even be better this season.

Go M's. 

Huskies and Kraken Win

The Washington  Huskies  beat Colorado 

Buffaloes at home Thursday night 60-58.

Colorado  led by one at half time but the 

Huskies were able to  hold on to win. This 

was after being blown out by Oregon last

weekend.

Terrell  Brown  Jr continues to lead in

scoring having 26 points. Emmitt  Mathews 

Jr had 15 points.  He led the Huskies with 

11 rebounds as well.

The Huskies  need to  get more scoring out 

of the other players as they combined for 

19 points. The Huskies are tied with Oregon 

in 5th place in Pac-12 conference at 5-3.

The Ducks lost to Colorado on Tuesday 82-78.

The UCLA  Bruins are on top of  conference 

beating  Arizona 75-59 on Tuesday. They followed 

beating California 81-57 Thursday and play 

Stanford on Saturday.

The Seattle Kraken beat Pittsburgh Penguins 

2-1 in overtime.  Neither teams scored the first 

two periods before getting  a  goal each in the

third period.  The Kraken began a four game 

road trip. They face the  New York  Islanders

on Saturday followed by the NY Rangers on

Sundays.  The road trip  ends Tuesday night

against the Bruins in Boston. Next home game

next Wednesday  against  Arizona  Coyotes.

 Go Kraken!

Mariners Catching

As major league baseball and the players union
are still negotiating which is a good sign anyway
we will look at the Mariners catching position.

I expect Cal Raleigh will be the everyday catcher.

The backup catcher will be either Tom Murphy

or Luis Torrens who will play elsewhere as well.

We hope like Kelenic Raleigh will have a good second

season after getting used to the majors.

Coming into spring training he will have more

knowledge of the pitchers along with the opposing

hitters so his offense should pick up.

At this point Tom Murphy would be the backup

going in against left-handed pitchers how Raleigh

is doing. There is a possibility the Mariners may

trade either Murphy or Torrens. 

Offensively catcher was the weakest spot last

season on the roster. It would be nice if Murphy

or Torrens could pick up their offense along 

with better defense as well. At this point Raleigh

is the best defensive catcher as well.

The Mariners could look at picking up someone

else to backup Raleigh too. The Mariners have

to give Raleigh the chance to see if he is the

catcher for the long term or not.  

Next time up on the Mariners will look at

the starting pitching.  In the weeks ahead

especially if spring training does start on 

time or even not I will look at individual

players.  Go M's. 

Huskies Land LB

The Washington  Huskies  needed

to get a linebacker with  experience 

after a  couple  of transfers. I expect

they will look for recruits to add on.

The Huskies  have now transfer 

Cameron Bright who comes over

from University of Pittsburgh. 

Bright played four years at Pittsburgh 

and was a captain. We will learn 

more about him. 

I hope he is good  at stopping the

run where the Huskies have lacked

the last several years. 

Kraken Win Huskies Lose

The Seattle Kraken have now won four
out of their last five games after losing
nine straight. On Sunday they beat the
Florida Panthers the team with the best
record in the NHL 5-3 on the Kraken's
home ice. We hope this leads to having
a good season.

The Panthers scored in the first period

which had been the Kraken's downfall

all season having to find a way to get

back into the game. The second period

the Kraken scored three goals while

the Panthers had two. Third period

which has been the Kraken's downfall

as well they actually shut out the Panthers

2-0. Way to go Kraken.

The Huskies who have had trouble with

the Ducks since Mike Hopkins became

head coach lost again this time 84-56.

Hopkins still wasn't on the side lines

because of Covid. He may be back when

the Huskies return home on Thursday.

The Huskies had a terrible first half

scoring only 13 points while the Ducks

had their way going for 48 points. The

Huskies did have a good second half

scoring 43 points but as you can imagine

not enough to overcome a disaster first

half.

Terrell Brown Jr led the Huskies in

scoring with 14. Way below his high

average and Emmitt Mathews Jr who

is putting in a good season for Washington

had 12 points.

The Huskies play Colorado at home on

Thursday who they lost on the road earlier

in January followed Utah who they beat.

News came out Aaron Dumas running

back at New Mexico State is transferring

to Washington. Dumas had a big game

against Fresno State during the 2021 season

though they lost. Huskies head coach Kalen

DeBoer obviously didn't forget at Dumas.

The Huskies are looking Dumas to bring

experience to the running game and he

was three years of eligibility as well. Now

see if he can run against Pac-12 teams. 

Go Dawgs!

  

Seahawk Sunday

We know  the Seahawks are not in

the playoffs.  How much joy did you 

have seeing the 49ers beat the Green 

Bay Packers with a last second field

goal.

We may actually see the 49ers and

the Rams play in the NFC championship.

The Rams will have to knock off Tampa 

Bay which won't be easy. Whatever 

match up there is the championship 

should be a good one.

I expect the Seahawks should be naming 

the new defensive coordinator soon. 

Whoever it is  they still need to go out

and get some better players. Go Hawks! 😁😁

Whose on Third

As we go along position by position as the
MLB lockout continues. Hopefully be over
soon.

We know third base would be occupied by

someone else besides Kyle Seager after a

decade. I am not sure everyone expected 

Kyle to retire, however, now he can spend

quality time with his family.

I am sure we will see Kyle and his family

during the upcoming season to acknowledge

his time in Seattle and being a long time

Mariner. Not many have spent their hole

career as a Mariners. Actually Edgar Martinez

is the only other player coming to mind. 

Right now, third base looks to belong to 

Abraham Toro. Of course if the Mariners

sign a free agent infielder this can change.

There is talk of signing Trevor Story. He 

could play either second or third and on

occasion shortstop to give Crawford a 

day off. 

Kris Bryant is another one. He has played

third base most of his career though sometime

in the outfield.  Defensively he won't remind

us of Kyle though. Most of the free agents

won't remind us of Kyle.

The Mariners still have utility player Dylan

Moore as well. He could play some third 

base for the Mariners to.  

It will be odd to see someone else at the

hot corner but it was going to happen this

year anyway. 

We see what happens and how much 

improvement helps as far as the offense

goes.  Go M's. 

Huskies Win On the Road

The Washington Huskies men's basketball
team who got off to a rough start on the
season are now starting to jell. They beat
Oregon State on the road 82-72.

The Oregon State Beavers are not an easy

team to beat especially at home but the

Huskies found a way to do it. The Beavers

had a two point lead in a tight game in the

first half leading 38-36.

The Huskies pulled away with around

12 minutes remaining in the game and

never sacrificed the lead again. We hope 

this will be a good ride for them.

Head coach Mike Hopkins wasn't at the

game because he came down with covid.

Will Conroy assistant coach and former

Husky player ran the show. It certainly

looks like the Huskies enjoy playing for

him.

Terrell Brown Jr who leads the Pac-12

in scoring led the Huskies with 27 points.

Another player I like Emmitt Mathews

Jr had 16 points. 

The Huskies are expected to play OregonGo

on Saturday, however, the Ducks game on

Thursday against Washington State Cougars

was postponed because of covid among the

ranks of the Cougars. The game between

Cougars and Beavers has been postponed

for Saturday as well. Interesting the

Cougars have same issues on their women's

basketball team as well with both of their

games against Oregon schools postponed to.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs beat San Francisco

Dons at home Thursday night 78-62. Drew

Timme led the Bulldogs with 23 points 

followed by Chet Holmgren with 22. Holmgren

Also had nine rebounds as well. It was the 

Bulldogs 62nd straight win at home. Quite

a feat I would say. The Bulldogs have a week

off before playing Loyola Maramont. 

Kraken, End Losing Streak

The Seattle  Kraken  finally end their 

nine game losing streak beating the

Chicago Black Hawks at home 3-2. 

It wasn't  easy they had to go into

overtime and then won in a shootout.

We hope this will  be  a  turnaround 

for the Kraken. 

In other local sports it looks  like

Ken Norton Jr  will be out  as defensive 

coordinator. I have to say not a big

surprise.

It will be interesting to see who the

next coordinator will be.  We do know

since Pete Carroll is a defensive coach

it with  be someone  who will run his

defense. Stay tuned!

Look at Seahawks ahead

We know over the next several weeks and months

what changes will happen.  I know everyone will

have opinions to.

The first will be about Russell Wilson like it is every 

off season whether he will stay or go. To be honest 

I am tired  of it. I expect he will  return unless some

team offers something the Seahawks can't turn down.

It sounds like a soap opera doesn't  it.

Running back  will the Seahawks be able to sign Rashaad 

Penny to a new deal or will he go elsewhere. We will see

what happens. Chris Carson  return this coming season

and play healthy all year. We will see on that one too.

Next up will Pete Carroll stay as coach. I am sure some

want him to leave. Not sure it will happen. Most likely 

there will be change to his assistants and I am sure we

will know soon one way or another.

Bobby Wagner made second team all-pro at middle

linebacker.  The question Is he to expensive to keep.

The Seahawks will have to make the decision especially 

if they want to add depth to the roster. We may know the

answer  soon on that one too.

We will look at the Seahawks in the  weeks to come. Can

they return to the playoffs with most of the roster intact.

Not only the playoffs but to the  Super Bowl which is 

always the goal. 

Huskies Men Win Again

The Washington  Huskies  beat Stanford 

Saturday afternoon 67-64.

Like theyv have all season long they play

inconsistent ball offensively. They won

the game with their defense  causing

Stanford to turn the ball over 21 times.

Jamal Bey had an outstanding  first half 

scoring all his season high 17 points.

Bey is frustrating to watch since he never

plays the game all out offensively. He 

disappears. Why he can't stop shooting 

when he is  hitting  well is anyone's guess.

My opinion  the coaching staff need to

get on his case or maybe they do and he

doesn't  listen.

The last ten minutes  of  the game the

Huskies didn't score a single field goal.

Without a large lead in the first half

they would have lost. Have to give

Stanford  defense some credit as well. 

Next Thursday and Sunday the Huskies 

will be in Oregon to play the Beavers and 

Ducks.  Won't be easy for them. Have to 

play their A game.

The Washington  State Cougars beat

California  Golden Bears 65-57. Sophomore 

Andrej Janimovski came off the bench

scoring 17 points including four three-pointers.

The rest of the team made only two of 15 

behind the 3-point line on the night. 

The Cougars are now 3-3 in pac-12 

eight place behind Washington and

Stanford at 3-2. They to will the Oregon 

schools next week.

Gonzaga continues winning  beating BYU

Thursday night 110-84 and Santa Clara

Saturday 115-83. They only play one

game  this coming week on Thursday 

at Pacific.

The best to all three teams coming up.

Seattle Mariners Shortstop

JP  Crawford is  expected again to be

the Mariners  shortstop. Crawford has 

become one of the  top  shortstop in

the American  League.

Crawford  has become  a very good 

defensive  player along with  his

offense  improving each season  to.

He is one of the leaders  on the 

team as well.

The  Mariners are still lookng  to sign

a free agent infielder.  If  they are able 

to  sign someone  like Trevor  Story 

he play second base likely however 

be at shortstop when  needed.

The  Mariners sign Kris Bryant  instead

than likely  Dylan Moore  will  be the backup 

shortstop. Staying  healthy Crawford should 

start again at least 150 games. Go Mariners!

Seattle Kraken Nine Losses

Thursday night the Seattle  Kraken  lost

to the St. Louis  Blues 2-1. It is now nine

losses in a row.  Now they have a record 

of 10-22-4.

The Kraken  take  on  the  LA Kings at

home. Before the  season  the Kraken 

ownership  said the team would compete 

for a playoffs. I  am  sure  fans are disap-

pointed in the team and I  am ownership 

is to.

The loss to the  Blues  were like many

other losses where the Kraken  had a

poor performance  in  the third period.

The Kraken  need to  perform  much 

better  in the  second half  of the  season 

to give  hope for  next season.

Jordan  Eberle  was named to this year's 

All-Star team. Also the expansion team's 

first round pick in the 2021 draft Mattey

Beniers will representative the USA in

the 2022 Olympic games. Beniers is

still playing  for  Michigan. Most likely 

will next  season  too. Go Kraken!

Huskies Men Win

The Washington men's basketball team
beat California Golden Bears at home on
Wednesday night 64-55.

Huskies did well by getting off to a good

start going on a 19-10 run and finished

the game well 17-4 run. Outside of that

they likely wouldn't have won the game.

Terrell Brown Jr the Huskies leading 

scorer had 21 points. Most of the points

were in the second half where he had

18 points.

Despite the good start the Huskies were

behind 34-27 at half time. The Huskies

need to find a way to play more consistent.

They are now 2-2 in Pac-12 play and 

7-7 overall. It shows why they are inconsistent.

Nate Roberts had a good game being the only

other player than Brown in double figures with

10 points and he had 12 rebounds as well. 

The Huskies did well in rebounding overall

compared to Cal. The Golden Bears only had

four offensive rebounds while the Huskies

had 10. Often the Huskies are outrebounded

in offensive rebounds. We hope this the sign

we will see the rest of the season. All total 

the Huskies had 32 rebounds while Cal had

23.

The Huskies will take on Stanford on Saturday.

The Cardinal will be playing the Washington

State Cougars Thursday afternoon so see how

they do in that match up first. 

Gonzaga men's basketball they beat Pepperdine

last Saturday 117-83. The Bulldogs were led

by junior forward Anton Watson with 19 points

coming off the bench. Much higher than his

average of 7.4 points a game. 

Drew Timme and Chet Holmgren each were 

next in line each having 18 points. The Bulldogs

had six players scoring in double figures. No

player for the Bulldogs played more than 25

minutes in the game.

Gonzaga now takes on BYU Thursday night

followed by Santa Clara on Saturday. BYU

has a 14-3 record overall while 2-0 in the

West Coast Conference. The Bulldogs are

12-2 and only 1-0 in WCC. 

Seattle Mariners second base

As we get ready for baseball season

2022 now we look  at second base.

The Mariners traded before  the lockout 

picking  up Adam Frazier. He likely be

the Mariners  second baseman unless

the  team signs an infield  free agent.  

if so Frazier  will  spend some time in

the  outfield.

Infielder Abraham Toro who played 

second base when acquired at the

trading deadline. Toro  may play 2nd

on occasion  though likely  play more 

3rd his natural  position. The Mariners 

sign a free agent who more likely  play

3rd than Toro could be  the regular 

2nd baseman or super utility. The 

same may go for France. We hope to 

hear these answers soon.

Pitcher Jon Lester a native of the

Tacoma area announced Wednesday 

morning he is retiring from baseball.

Lester began his career with the Boston 

Red Sox. Had 200 career wins and one 

of the  best lefties during his 16 seasons.

Penny Ends Season On High Note

The Seattle Seahawks beat  the Cardinals in

Arizona 38-30. Rashaad Penny had another 

great game rushing for 190 yards on 23 carries.

Penny had a 60 yard touchdown in the 4th 

quarter to almost seal the win. The Cardinals

had the ball in the red zone under two minutes 

remaining in the game.  This was after getting 

the ball around six and half minutes left in the

game. The Seahawks who have done well

stopping teams in the  red zone did so again.

The Cardinals  were down by 11 points  so they

needed to  score twice so kicked a field goal

and tried onside kick. Jordyn  Brooks who had 

a great day with a team record 20 tackles caught

the onside kick for the Seahawks. Rashaad Penny 

ran the ball several  times  to run out the clock.

Russell Wilson  went 15 for 26 passes, 238 yards

and three touchdowns. Tyler Lockett  had two of

the touchdowns in five catches and 98 yards.

DK Metcalf  had  a  touchdown  pass as well. He 

to had five catches on the  day.

Always  seems  a Seahawk gets hurt badly when 

they play in Arizona. Sunday was no different. 

Safety Quandre Diggs had a dislocated ankle along

with a broken  fibula. Diggs is staying in Arizona to

have surgery. Diggs is expected to be a free agent 

and signed  to a big contract makes us wonder the

injuries will effect it. The Seahawks  hoping to keep 

him around. Most likely  try to sign in but at a lower

amount with incentives. 

In men's basketball the Washington  Huskies  were

unable to match Thursday's  night win at Utah. They

got far behind once again  but not able to turn things

around losing to Colorado 78-64. Cole Bajema had 

another great  game in a row this time  leading  the 

Huskies with 18 points. Bajema keeps  this up the

Huskies  should end up with  a  good  season.

WSU Loses QB

It is tough right now with the transfer portal being
in for the second straight year. You never know who
may decide to leave.

On Friday the Cougars got a surprise when their

starting quarterback Jayden de Laura announced

he was going into the transfer portal. I am sure

it was a surprise to many Cougar faithful.

de Laura had a fantastic second season at WSU,

possibly the best quarterback in the Pac-12.

According to Spokane's spokesman there is 

likely many places that de Laura can go to

run the offense he excels at. It doesn't mean

he will not be good under other offenses but

the one at WSU he excelled at for sure.

Saturday the Cougars men's basketball rebound

on the road beating the Utah Utes 77-61. It was

quite a deal because the Cougars hadn't won in

Utah since 1946.  I am sure they may have not

played for a number of years since the Utes 

weren't in the Pac-12 for some time.

Terrell Roberts again led the Cougars in scoring

with 15 points. All his points were outside the

three-point line. It also ended a 13-game losing

streak to the Utes. 

The Cougars now are 2-2 in Pac-12 in 5th place.

Of course we have a ways to go on the season.

Next up for the Cougars is Stanford on Thursday

followed by California on Saturday. 

The Washington Huskies men take on Colorado

Sunday after beating Utah in come behind. We

hope the best for them too.

The Seahawks have their final game of 2022 

playing Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals

in Arizona. It will be an interesting off-season.

Let you know what my opinion is when things

happen whether trades or free agent signings.

Seattle Mariners first base

As we look for the  lockout to end

and baseball begins  we will  look

at the positions going into spring

training.  We hope for additional

in help by trades and free agency.  

Right before the lockout Seattle 

Mariners president of baseball 

operations and general manager 

Jerry  Dipoto said Ty France  will

be the  regular first  baseman. He

he did an outstanding job when 

Evan White was hurt and lost for

the season.  

Where Evan White  fits on the Mariners 

will first begin how  healthy he is and 

how he hits  in spring training. White 

has struggled at the plate in his limited 

action in the major leagues.  White could 

begin the  season at triple-A if not on the 

big club. Dipoto hinted White  might play

some outfield as well. White is quite 

athletically so not a stretch. His defense 

likely work in the outfield. In this case he

would be the 4th or 5th outfield. I  could 

see him in  center field on occasion. It

will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Another player who might get action at

first base is Luis Torrens. Last season 

when he returned from  triple-A he was

designated hitter for the most part.

Depending  how catching position is

will depend where he plays elsewhere.

The designated hitter most likely  be 

be Kyle  Lewis or Mitch Haniger. This

to will depend  on  how healthy  Lewis 

is. Haniger at least one game a week 

to keep him healthy again for another 

season.  We will get more into it when

we get to the outfield. Go M's!

Huskies Win Cougars Lose

The Washington Huskies did something they
haven't done in a while and that is coming back
to win after being behind in double figures.

The Huskies were down four points at half time,

however, the Utah Utes got up to a 14 point lead

in the first six minutes of the second half. This 

is when the Huskies made their move. The

Huskies ended up winning 74-68.

The Huskies had four players score in double digits.

They were led by Daejon Davis with 16 points.

Husky leading scorer on the season Terrell Brown

had 15 along with Cole Bajema. It was Cole's best

game since being a member of the Huskies in his

second year. Jamal Bey had 14 points.

The underlying trouble for Utah was turnovers

having 19 in the game. The Huskies go to Colorado

to play the Buffaloes on Sunday. Maybe the Utah

game change the season for the Huskies we will see.

The Cougars though lost to the Buffaloes on the road

83-78. Terrell Roberts led the Cougars with 25 points.

The Cougars shooting wasn't as good as the Buffaloes

especially from 3- point line  where they shot 26%.

The Cougars have been up and down all season.

They take on Utah on Saturday. Both teams look

to rebound from their losses on Thursday. We wish

the best for the Cougars to be able to get back to

their winning ways. 

Cougars Hire Former Husky

The Washington State Cougars went
out and hired former Husky Pete Kaligas
who was on Washington's national 

championship team in 1991. Kaligas 

will be defensive line
coach though was offensive guard at
Washington.

Kaligas I don't remember a whole lot
being an offensive lineman. He previous
coached at Wyoming where he had several
hats for 13 years. The last four years at
Montana. Wish him the best since both
Huskies and Cougars need to be the best
programs.

Washington Huskies Men Lose

Really seems like the Washington Huskies 

haven't played basketball ball in a while.

I have to say it is true. They lost another 

game to  covid against Washington State 

Cougars.  

On Monday night they played the Wildcats

on their court in Tucson Arizona. The 

Wildcats won as expected.  It was a 

shoot out as the final score was 95-79.

The Huskies were in the game for a good 

part though they never led for most of the

game. The Huskies were within five points

at the eight minute mark left in the game.

Like often  the Huskies  can't overcome 

their shooting woes.

Terrell Brown the Huskies  leading scorer 

and one of the top six scorers in the country 

was the leading scorer in the game with 28

points along with eight rebounds. 

Emitt Mathews Jr had 16 points with four

three-pointers in the game. Most of those 

kept the Huskies in the game when the 

Wildcats could have  blown the game early.

PJ Fuller  had 11 points as well. 

The Huskies next game will be on Thursday 

in Utah against the Utes. The Utes are 1-3 

in the Pac-12 while this was Washington's 

first game and loss. The Utes lost to Oregon 

on New Year's Day  79-66. The Utes only

win in Pac-12 was back on December 5th 

at home against California Golden Bears.

They have lost three straight so we will

see what happens. Go Dawgs!

Let's End The Lockout

 Ow we are in the  new year and spring 

training is six weeks away major league 

baseball and the players end the lockout.

If not this week in a couple weeks anyway.

We need to watch the  love of baseball.

We to know the way of the football for the 

Seahawks we are going to hear enough about 

Russell Wilson and trading other players

along with the coaching staff. We need baseball 

and not be distracted.  Go M's.

Seahawks Win Final at Home

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Detroit 

Lions as expected with their highest 

offensive output of the season. The 

score 51-29.

Rashaad Penny and DK Metcalf each

had a big day. Penny had 25 carries

170 yards and two touchdowns both

in the first half.  Metcalf had three

touchdowns on six catches for 63

yards. Tyler Lockett had a touchdown

to. 

Russell Wilson had a good game as you 

can imagine.  Threw 29 passes with 20

completed for 236 yards with four td's.this.

The Seahawks will play Arizona Cardinals 

next Sunday in Arizona to end the season. 

Regardless who wins the  Seahawks will 

end the season at the bottom of the division.

Cardinals will finish second in division no

matter who wins.

Now the question what will the Seahawks do

to get back on top. Changes will have to be

made no matter what.  We will see over the 

months ahead.

Cougars Lose Final

The Washington State Cougars had
a rough start to the Sun Bowl then
came back but not enough to win the
game.

Central Michigan led the game at

half time 21-0. The Cougars lost

quarterback Jaden de Laura in the

3rd quarter. Obviously, things weren't

going well for the Cougars anyway.

Besides de Laura leaving the game,

the Cougars didn't have running back

Max Borghi or Deon McIntosh which

made it hard as well. 

Backup quarterback Victor Gabalis

came in and made a good effort to

get the Cougars back in the game.

Gabalis threw for 177 yards and 

two touchdowns.  The Cougars 

ran out of time to win the game.

Now we look toward spring and

fall to see how the Cougars go.
