You forgot to mention perhaps their greatest strenght: Their defense is one of the tops in the league

I also dont think Ray Allen should be that high. But Brockman over Roy is right. Brockman meant more to the Huskies in his 4 years than Roy did.

What does Forsett have to do to recieve a straight A? He ran incredibly well against a good run defense and was the best player on the team. He showed his speed, agility, pass catching ability, and was breaking tackles as well. He's gonna be a good player for the hawks in the future.

Im not sure if Dollar is "one of the most underrated hirings in the entire country" because he was featured in an article in the ESPN magazine as one of the top assisstant coaches in the nation.

Wow I never really thought of any of these reasons except WSU fans getting screwed. When you put it this way, this move really sucks.

I disagree about Overton. I've kind of given up on my hopes of having him as an offensive weapon. He's played the point the past two years and even started his freshman year and he has shown almost no improvement. In fact, his assist to turnover ratio was better in his freshman year and last year he had more turnovers than assists. He plays too out of control to be a quality point guard, and unless Romar can coach him out of that, he wont improve much. Him playing the point more often is not a good thing for this team because he's had a full two seasons to improve and by now he should not still be in the "improving" stage.

It will be interesting to see how Isaiah Thomas does in the 2 guard spot. Its true that he's not really a pure point guard, but he doesnt seem to be a true scoring guard either, unless he improves his shot tremendously. This is certainly possible (look at Dentmon) and moving to the 2 guard also might alone improve his shot.
One major area that Gaddy helps the Huskies in is depth. When Gaddy comes out Thomas can probably take over point guard for some of the time he is on the bench. This leaves less time that the Huskies have to use Overton to run the point. One thing that i hated watching last year was Overton running down the court and committing turnover after turnover.
Also where do you see Turner, Wilcox, and Scott Suggs fitting in? Shooting guard? Maybe some point guard for some of them? The Huskies are loaded with guards.

Re: Breaking PAC 10 News: WSU's Bennett takes Virginia job

eon — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:53:16 -0000

Wow this is really surprising to me. Bennett always seemed like the kind of guy who would stick with a program for a while and I wasnt expecting him to leave anytime soon. This will definitely hurt the Cougs a lot... but who cares?

Re: Weekly Grades: Montero is Dinero

I agree with Kevin. Morrow has so much more upside as a starter because there is only so much that a closer can do. Starters have a much bigger impact on the game in my opinion and Morrow could have hepled out a lot. Felix and Morrow would have been great to see down the road and this seems like a decision that will impact Morrow's entire career, so lets hope it turns out okay.

Re: Edgar Martinez in the Hall of Fame?

eon — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:36:49 -0000

Well I actually used to play baseball a lot... I just sucked at it. And my point about Edgar is that he didnt make either of these marks. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Mickey Mantle might not have gotten 3000 hits but they did get 500 home runs. The opposite is true for Cal Ripken, Kaline, and George Brett. As for some of the other players, they also stood out in other areas of the game besides hitting, and this cant be said about Edgar.

Re: Seahawks-Only Mock Draft v.2.0

eon — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:11:59 -0000

It doesnt really make sense to use a pick just on a kick returner. Burleson should be back next year, and Forsett did a pretty good job last year. Are you thinking he won't be back this year?
Stafford would be awesome if he made it to us, but I think the Rams will take him even if the Lions don't. Marc Bulger is terrible and getting old and they dont really have anyone else.

Re: Lorenzo Romar, Pac-10 Coach of the Year?

eon — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:29:45 -0000

I think Robinson deserves to win it. He's had a tougher project to turn around than the huskies, and he has done more for his team than Romar has in my opinion. The COY award shouldnt just be based on how a team finishes, because that could be attributed to the players and not the coach. Robinson has taken a team with almost no talent and coached them into a team that can actually win some games, using his style of offense and his really good 1-3-1 defense.

Well, in a recent poll on the legendary seatownsports.net, a whopping 84% of readers there said that UW is a better team than Gonzaga right now

UW would kill Gonzaga and Adam Morrison would be sitting in the stands crying.

Yeah we dont need another wideout. The way Deion Branch played at the end of the season, and if he can stay healthy, he's a great number 2 wide reciever. The hawks have alot bigger needs on the line and on defense

Re: 5 Points: Why the Huskies Are So Good This Year

To add to your point about Brockman's leadership, it has been impressive to see him accept his reduced offensive role with the emergence of Thomas, Dentmon, and MBA. He is much less of a go to guy than last year but he still plays with, like you said, 110% effort.

Hey watch out for the Texans next year, im being serious. I really think that they have a shot at making the playoffs, which is really good considering that they already have indianapolis and tennessee in their division.
Also the fact that the Texans suck shouldnt really affect how good of an individual wide reciever Andre Johnson is. People always do this to Calvin Johnson as well and rank him too low because the Lions suck. Also players like Fitz are helped out by the fact that he has other weapons around him that the defense has to devote attention to, like Anquan Boldin.

Hands down? No consideration at all to Andre Johnson or Randy Moss?

Yeah but the commercials werent as funny as last year, overall. This year there were a lot of really bad commercials with some brilliant ones sprinkled around.

Philadalphia isnt even close to being the number 1 defense in the NFL and its pretty much impossible for anyone to stop Larry Fitzgerald. Pittsburg has the number 1 defense so you couldnt have really expected flacco to do much against them.

Why does Darnell Gant start? I havent seen much from him and MBA has been playing much better on in both rebounding and scoring.

I dont really think we should take Sanchez at number four, but i agree with you that he will be a top ten pick. I think Crabtree is a bigger playmaker and is just too good to pass up.
I really like your second, third, and fourth round picks though. They sound like they would be good fits to the team.

Re: VIDEO: Nate Robinson Mix

Yeah it was more exciting than some of the other ones that just show guys making 3 pointers over and over again. I could watch those dunks over and over again. I kinda wanted it to have some plays from his UW days, to make it a real mix, but this one's probably for the knicks fans.
