  I feel like I have to apologize for all the Husky fans.  The Cougs deserved
the win, because they came out fired up and played MUCH better than the  
Huskies.  The weather was not a factor.  All the excuses made by the fans
are absurd...

  In any case, as much as I have accpeted the loss, I had to comment on 
Dave's remark about how the Cougars are going to be much better next year.
Dave, you cannot and should not make comments like that.  Especially not at
this time of the year and the day after a game.  I would take a comment like
this more into account, if it was made after the spring practices.

  Also, newspaper clippings don't make teams play better.  If this was so,
The Huskies would have had a LOT of newspaper clippings on the comments
that the Cougars made about the Huskies all week, not including all the
comments that they made throughout the season.  An example of this was the
post-game interviews after the WSU-USC game.  If I didn't know the score and
I just had a chance to listen to the WSU players, I would have thought that
the Cougars had beaten USC...

  In any case, do post the names of the WSU players who are not coming back
next year and I will post the names of the starting Huskies who are leaving
and they ones who will be back.  

  And, if you do come up to Seattle for the game next year, how about a 
drink or two?  :)

Final note on Drew Bledsoe:  I think that he will come out.  He has to.  Why
risk injury by playing one more year of college football?  Just look what 
happened to Emtman.  Imagine if that injury would have happened to him in a
Husky uniform this year.  All his trophies and accomplishments from last 
year wouldn't have meant a thing.  Bledsoe will come out, unless he is true
to his school and likes playing for scholarship money...
