With all of college basketball’s regular season games completed, the major conferences are holding their championship tournaments!  Seedings have been completed and the tournament games begin this week.  The outcomes determine who will get invited to the Big Dance on Selection Sunday, as well as what their seedings, match ups, and the location of their first games will be!

It’s tip off time!

For the Husky faithful, hopefully this signals a return to the glory days. Of course, the Huskies new mascot “Dubs” has a lot to live up to as well, as the latest in a long line of proud Husky mascots, including his predecessor Spirit and my personal favorite, Sundodger.  Now that’s pressure!

The excitement meter for fans of Washington Huskies football is off the charts these days, after six lean years for the traditional college football power.  Led by healthy returning QB1 Jake Locker, destined to follow a long line of Husky quarterbacks into the pros, the UDub faithful finally have reason to believe.  The choruses of “Bow Down to Washington” have started already!

Against the powerhouse LSU Tigers, the Huskies offense in particular made an unexpectedly good showing, especially TB Chris Polk.  A win last week against Idaho ended that infernal winless streak that consumed all of 2008.

The recruiting news just keeps getting better, as this proud program that treated Rose Bowls as home games throughout the 80′s and was national champ as recently in ’91, has returned to pulling blue chip players out of California.  Today’s announcement that highly rated running back Deontae Cooper will join the purple and gold is the latest in a string of solid recruiting wins, including QB Nick Montana – Joe’s son – and sixteen other strong 2010 recruits to date.

The major reason for the electricity running through scenic Husky Stadium?  New Top Dawg Steve Sarkisian, who left his sweet assistant gig with USC, and brought fellow ‘SC assistant Nick Holt to run the D.  …And guess who’s coming to the U District this weekend?  His old boss Pete Carroll and the Trojans, fresh off their big comeback win over Ohio State.  With a dinged-up QB.

In Don James’ day, this game, sold out for weeks, would have been out of reach to the fans who just don’t want to miss the biggest game of the year.  Their only recourse have been to deal with street scalpers on Montlake Boulevard.

The good news is this is the new millenium.  And fans can buy and sell stuff on the internet.  Like tickets.  If only there was a search engine that allowed fans to see a bunch of those ticket places on the world wide web all at once.  Oh wait, that’s what FanSnap is for!  Check it out – we found over 300 tickets remaining, starting at only $50!  But they are going fast…

Sat. Sep 19 USC @ Washington tickets

Ever have a tailgate party on a boat?!

p.s. on the off chance you already have Yankees @ Mariners tickets or Club Deportivo Chivas USA @ Seattle Sounders tickets for Saturday, we found plenty of available Huskies tickets for the Arizona, Oregon, and Cal home games, not to mention Apple Cup tickets (in Seattle this year.)  Of course there is always the opportunity to get Washington @ Notre Dame tickets and make the pilgrimage to South Bend for the  game Oct. 3!
