Jake Locker VS Andrew Luck

After listening to David Norrie come on to ESPN 710 go on and on about how he believes Andrew Luck is the best QB in the nation, I've come to only one conclusion. He doesn't know his head from his rear end. Here are some of the doozies he laid out there for Husky fans

"Five or six games into the season last year I thought that Andrew Luck was hands down the best NFL Prospect at QB in the country."

Really? Let's review his first five games last year:
VS Washington State (1-11) 11/23 passing for 193 yards 1 TD
VS Wake Forest (5-7) 23/34 Passing for 276 yards 2 TD 1 INT
VS San Jose State (2-10) 9/12 passing for 170 yards 1 TD 1 INT
VS Washington (5-7) 7/14 passing for 103 Yards 0 TD
VS UCLA (7-6) 14/20 passing for 198 yards 0 TD

So against the first five opponents who Andrew Luck competed against (who combined for a whopping 20 wins for the season between them) Andrew Luck threw for an average of 13/21 for 188 yds per game, while throwing 4 TD's and 2 INT's.

I almost didn't need to listen anymore because it was obvious that this guy was a complete moron. Unfortunately for him, he didn't just stop there:

"I thought he was the hands down the best NFL prospect at quarterback in the country...I think Andrew Luck is one of those once in every 6 or 7 year quarterbacks."

He went on to say that Andrew Luck is a Peyton Manning type talent, and that in a side-by-side comparison with Jake Locker in arm strength, release, accuracy, movement, intangibles, and who he would want leading his team out onto the field next year, the only category in which he gave Jake Locker the advantage was movement. David Norrie must love him some Stanford Koolaid, because he is drinking it up.

Huskies Path To Victory #1 Just Got A Little Easier

Does this picture bring back any memories? This is BYU's all-time leading rusher Harvey Unga who torched a hapless Husky defense in 2008 for 136 yards on 23 carries, as well as 40 yards recieving.

After breaking the schools honor code (Which prohibits drinking alcohol and sex outside of marriage) this spring, Unga withdrew himself from school and began the reapplication process hoping to be able to re-enroll in time for fall semester so he could play football this season.

Alas, the stars did not align for Unga, and the school came back and told him he would not be accepted until January, well after the football season ended. Good for BYU for sticking to their guns, because they've just made things a little easier for the Huskies.

Here is an article from The Salt Lake Tribune detailing everything that went down.

Husky Stadium Renovation

It was announced this week that the University of Washington would go ahead with their plans to renovate Husky Stadium. Though school officials have tried three times in recent history to have the state help fund the renovation, they have decided to move forward with the project, which will now be funded entirely by private donations and friends of the University.

Though there is no official estimate, the project would cost somewhere just under $200 million, and would include removing the track that surrounds the field and installing more seating so fans can get a little closer to the action. This is great news for all Husky fans, who have seen their beloved Husky stadium fall into disrepair over the years.

The one downside to all of this of course is the possibility that the school would sell the naming rights to the stadium in order to help fund the renovation. That would be an absolute travesty. Hopefully the University is able to come up with the money and does not have to resort to that.

UW has just sent in their request for proposals, so here are some artist sketches of what Husky Stadium may look like once the renovation is complete.





Here are a few fun facts about Husky Stadium:
1.)Husky Stadium was built in 1920 with a capacity of only 30,000.
2.)President Warren Harding gave his final address at Husky Stadium in 1936.
3.)Husky Stadium was the first major college venue with Astro turf, in 1968.
4.)In a halloween game against Stanford in 1981, "The Wave" was invented.
5.)Husky Stadium is the loudest stadium in college football history, reaching 135 decibels in a 1992 game against Nebraska.
