Andrew Luck Lays out Shareece Wright

On Saturday during the USC vs. Stanford football game Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck made a HUGE hit after a turnover.

I think this is the hardest hit I've ever seen a quarterback make. Check it out:

Washington Weekly Update: Pac-10 Leaders

Five in a row. That's how many straight the Huskies have won over the UCLA Bruins in Seattle. That is also the number of current wins in a row the Huskies will have if they beat Arizona when they travel down to Tucson for a meeting with the Wildcats on Thursday night.

The Huskies just wrapped up a great week in hoops with an 86-75 victory over the boys from Westwood on Saturday (Women's swimming also took down UCLA on Saturday). Earlier in the week they slid by the Men of Troy 78-73 as well as retiring the jersey of the great Brandon Roy. Not too shabby I'd say.

Don't look now but these Dawgs are barking, especially after getting taken behind the woodshed by the Kansas Jayhawks in late November. Since that embarrassing defeat the Washington Huskies have gone 13-2, and the 2 defeats were by a combined 5 points (86-84 loss to the Florida Tebows and a 3 OT heart breaker to the Cal Bears).

This is a new week for the Huskies which I hope brings the same results of this past week....victory. Arizona and Arizona State are on the docket for this last week of January followed by a Northern California swing versus Cal and then Stanford.

Thanks Leaf. For making WSU look bad

As the draft quickly approaches, I kinda feel sorry for Ryan Leaf. He is made an example of how a first round draft can flop. Not just flop, but crash and burn like a flying pile of manure. And then I don't feel so bad for him when I remember he constantly makes Washington State University famous. As a flop. Hehe.

For those that don't know my loyalties lie across the mountains with the Washington Huskies. And thanks to Leaf, the Cougars are remembered.

But as spring football comes to an end across the nation, I can only hope that both of these schools fare batter than last year. Cause for far too long UW and WSU have lived in the cellar of the PAC-10. And even making teams like Stanford look good. Stanford, yeah, the smart doctors who aren't very good at contact sports. And here is why.

Well, hopefully come December, UW and WSU fans won't end the season with, "Well, there is always next year."

Spring means snow in Nebraska

It's that time of year again. Yes, time for the bats to come out from the garage. Time to clean up your diamonds. Time for baseball.

Ok, hold it right there. What? How can it be baseball time. It is still February. What?

Yeah, baseball is here. At least in Nebraska. The Cornhusker baseball team kicked off the 2008 season last week at Stanford. Now Stanford, I can see them playing baseball right now. California, it's always nice.

Nebraska, not so much.

Yesterday it snowed. Today the high was around 20. Yeah, that doesn't sound like baseball weather to me.

Or maybe, in the Midwest, that IS baseball weather.

Don't forget, Omaha is home of the College World Series. That means it will be in the 100's with at least 95% humidity.

Can't wait.
