Not the Sort of Company You Want to Be In
Washington 23 – 31 LSU
Unlike my colleague Dr. Farley, I will not be blogging much on the (American) football program of my alma mater. (Perhaps it’s because we suck?) I fully expected the University of Washington to not win against LSU yesterday. Indeed, this speaks to the new depths that this formerly glorious program has reached when I walk away from that game thinking “hey, we only lost by a touchdown or so, that’s great!”
Then I read this final paragraph in the Seattle Times’ account of the game:
It was the 15th straight loss for the Huskies, tying a Pac-10 record set twice previously by Oregon State. The first 14 Washington losses came under Sarkisian’s predecessor, Tyrone Willingham.
Because that makes all the difference. We tied a record set by Oregon State?
Bloody hell.
