Since, you know, it’s The Apple Cup and all, here some gnarly burns you can throw around the office to ramp-up this epic rivalry. We will start with an oldie but goodie…
It seems there was this fellow named Smythe who graduated from the Washington State University.He had decided to seek employment as a salesman for a haberdashery located in the city of Seattle.He procured an interview with the owner, one Mr. Longfellow, the following morning.Smythe arrived at Longfellow’s and took a seat in the parlor.Longfellow entered the room and said with a booming baritone, “I will hire thee immediately if you just name for me the Patron Saint of Haberdashers.”Smythe stood up and wagged his finger, “Why that would be Saint Louis XI!” he exclaimed.Longfellow chortled, “You imbecile, the Patron Saint of Haberdashers is Saint Louis IX, I can clearly see you were educated at an inferior university.”He then tossed out this zinger of a farewell, “and were I like thee, I would throw myself away in the rubbish bin.”
Things haven’t been so great for Washington basketball in the post Brandon Roy era. Three years ago Washington was a Mike Jensen foul away from a date with George Mason in the Elite 8. All in all, a plum program elevating opportunity squandered.
Thanks to Lute Olsen’s stroke-induced dementia and Romar’s all-around classiness, the University of Washington will be welcoming Abdul Gaddy into the 2009-10 recruiting class. Gaddy is the #2 rated point guard in the country and the best in-state recruit, averaging 23 ppg and winning State Player Of The Year. Gaddy announced he will sign a letter of intent with UW once the signing period opens on November 12. With this and Ty resiging, it finally feels like the sun is beginning to shine on Montlake.
I decided to miss attending this one in person just in case I needed to commit an emergency suicide. So come join Bea Arthur (my bong) and I on the couch as we enjoyed this afternoon’s crapfest.
"Sometimes" did not include today.
Continue to read after the jump if you want to relive the punishment:
Washington’s season ended today. And no, this had nothing to do with Ty Willingham or the Pac-10 schedule or anything like that.
Today, Jake Locker’s injury was confirmed by the school. He’s gone for what amounts to the duration of the season. That’s it. We’re done. It’s WAMU on Montlake with no bailout on the horizon.
I don’t really have much to add than the headline. Colorado was two and Eugene was three. Oklahoma and Salt Lake City were not ranked. So, yeah. We don’t have much but the beer is still fantastic. So we’ve got that going for us.
Also: I miss the Olympia stubby. Cheap, delicious, and it came with a rebus, which eventually would turn into drunken Classic Concentration. These days the northwest needs all the beer they can get. Sign the petition to bring them back.
Washington’s adorable Alaskan Malamute mascot “Spirit” apparently has a shoulder condition that will prevent him from panting, sleeping on the track, and discreetly sniffing cheerleader underwear this Saturday against BYU.
Let me be the first to speculate that Spirit, who has been the mascot since 1999 and is scheduled to retire at the end of this season, has simply had enough of this shit.

In our sixth show we recap all the week one action in the Pac-10, and look ahead to week two.
Can Washington rebound from a ridiculously poor showing against Oregon? Does WSU have enough players to compete at the D-1 level? Should Arizona State be worried about their inability to run the ball against Northern Arizona?
