Have written book HISTORY OF THE EMPIRE in RHYME so far no publisher. Excerpts on: http://www.poemsoftheempire.blogspot.com/
Book not available at present time, sorry.
Have been Husky season ticket holder for 44 years but had to give it up. Stairs getting steeper but afternoon night games made final decision inevitable.
First game I remember, I think 1949, Les Richter All-American line backer for California stood up UW running back fourth and one at the goal line as time expired. Don Heinrich QB. Sound familiar. Sadly only one conference team got to go to a bowl game back then, ROSE BOWL.

PAC-16 REALIGNMENT
by Purpledawg on Sep 7, 2011 1:26 PM EDT
on UW Dawg Pound
comments on PAC-16 BIG-12 were very insightful and provided a lot of different perspectives.
1-Most agreed Texas is a cancer on whatever conference they go to and should go independent. Solely an EGO thing.
2-The game of “chicken” has begun, with Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Baylor. I would prefer these four for the PAC-16 keeping the pairings Scott likes and gives us access to Texas. ND maybe?
3-On a side note for the golfers, the PAC16 would then have 2 of the top 5 collegiate golf courses in the country in its fold: Rawls Course at Texas Tech and Karsten at OkState. Look ‘em up — they are gems.
This is a chess game at a furious pace. Another point well made PAC-12 is now in the drivers seat waiting for applications to arrive.
Next one to go down and out things will happen fast. It's all about the blame game.

Ethical problems eating away at college football
from the Philadelphia Daily News by Bernard Fernandez as reprinted in The News Tribune (Tacoma) Sunday Jan. 2, 2011.
Sounds like the days of ethical coaches are numbered ala Don James. Latest victim Urban Meyer at Florida. Apparently playing by the rules is in direct conflict with billions of dollars in TV revenue.
Remember the PAC_10 Prexies went after the UW and Don James after he went to three Rose Bowl in a row. UW Administration went along willingly.
In these days of "street agents" and other illegal benefits it is harder for coaches with a conscience to survive.
Sark has his hands full to compete with the Yucks and Trogams. Unless something changes he will be forced out into the Pros or broadcasting.
We live in a different world with a not very bright future.
