Somewhere, Rick Neuheisel Is Smiling

Some interesting stuff on Bob Condotta's various Husky blogs today: He reports that Charles Frederick made the Arena Football League all-rookie team, that the Dawgs picked up a Nate-Robinson-sized running back recruit, and that Class of '08 b-ball recruits Elston Turner, Jr., and Isaiah Thomas turned scouts' heads at some summer camp that's a big deal.

Meanwhile, brillant college football blog Everyday Should Be Saturday has noticed that--due to their impossible schedule--the 2007 Huskies are headed for a season that could resemble Thermopylae. Here's how EDSBS sees the Hawaii game going:

Hello, 22 year old athlete. You’re in Hawaii, and you’ve just undergone a season’s worth of federal, “pound you in the ass” prison football in the brutal Pac-10. In addition to that, you played Boise State, Syracuse, and Ohio State, and lost to at least two of them. You hurt. Your body’s tired. You’re defeated.



And then, you get on a plane in rainy Seattle, and walk out in paradise. Palm trees; sunshine; hot, beautiful flesh moving tantalizingly under very small bathing suits. Someone puts a drink in your hand, and you’re at a bar kissed by the salt breezes of the Pacific, which looks so much friendlier here a few time zones over.

When’s practice tomorrow? Yes, practice…why am I here again?

LOSS.
