Well everybody, we are on the downhill slope heading into the 2009 season, but I doubt it can come fast enough for most of you fans. I know it's a slow time here at Husky Trails.
In my capacity of providing coverage for the Washington Huskies football team, I feel it's appropriate to pass along the stories I find interesting about the program.
Enjoy the list!
-The Sporting News had a good interview with new head coach Steve Sarkisian. Sark had some positive words about quarterback Jake Locker and his progress in the new offense.
-As passed along by Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Tom Luginbill of ESPN's Scouts Inc. says highly touted in state recruit Jake Heaps will pick BYU over UW. I don't know how much of a lead BYU has, but apparently they were in first while the Willingham staff hardly recruited him.
Luginbill also asserts that Heaps may not be the best fit in the system Sarkisian wants to use. Jesse Scroggins of California, another Washington target, would probably be the best fit.
-Another Condotta story here, detailing what UW does now for the Husky Stadium renovation. My take on it is that athletic director Scott Woodward is still being unnecessarily difficult still.
In response to trying to scale back the scope of the project or do it in stages he has been very negative. Unfortunately, to get this project done, sacrifices are going to have to be made.
-Bruce Feldman, of ESPN, has Washington as one of his ten most improved teams in 2009. He cites the 18 returning starters and the Sarkisian enthusiasm bump as possible reasons for it.
-Congrats to the UW softball team for winning their first national championship! The Huskies topped the Florida Gators by winning the first two games of the series.
