The Mariners and Seahawks Sort Of

Friday has arrived and the Seattle  Mariners  
have their first spring  training  game. These
games don't  really have any real meaning
though they are important  to  players trying 
to make the roster.

 News came out that the LA Rams are going 
to release former Seahawks  middle linebacker
Bobby Wagner after one season  to save money
in the salary  cap.  He was one of the  Rams best
players this last season  sometimes things happen. 
The question  should the Seahawks  bring  him
back since they do need help at linebacker. There
is a good  chance they will draft a linebacker but
can still need help. What is your opinion.

The Seahawks  also signed Nick Bellore who is
good on special teams, plays fullback and backup
linebacker.  A great way for a player to carve out
a good career without  being a starter. Most 
players don't  play more than three years so
this  will allow him to  get  a NFL  pension too.
A solid player for the Seahawks.

Thursday night  College  men's  basketball  the
Washington  Huskies  beat California Golden
Bears on the road 65-56. It was a crazy game 
in parts because of several technical fouls. 
California got within a couple points of the
Huskies because of technical foul free throws
in the first half. They had a bit of a run as well, 
however the Huskies  had a run too. The Huskies 
never were behind in the game.

The Huskies were led by Keion Brooks Jr with
24 points and 11 rebounds. Keyon Menifield 
had 16 points and fellow freshman  Koren 
Johnson had 10. The Huskies went with a
six man rotation. They  take on Stanford 
Sunday afternoon in Palo Alto. With a win
the Huskies would win four  in a row. They
finish the regular  season  at home next
Thursday  against the Cougars.

The Washington  State  Cougars beat 
Stanford 67-63 on Thursday night. The
Cougars like the Huskies have played
inconsistent and they beat California 
Saturday they would win five games in 
a row. The Cougars were led by TJ Bamba
with 22 points. Mouhamed Gueye had 
1am15 points and rebounds. The Cougars 
are seventh in Pac-12 while the Huskies 
are eighth.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs  beat San Diego
on Thursday night 97-72 with Drew Timme 
leading  the way with 22 points. Also led
in rebounds with 13. Gonzaga takes on
St. Mary's Saturday  night  at home. Lost to
them earlier  on the road. Gonzaga wins 
then the teams are tied for the conference 
title.  That's a rap.
