Who woulda thought that this guy smokes weed? Thank you Tim Lincecum for providing yet another example of a world class athlete who smokes marijuana.  Now when he’s up to Doc Ellis levels of craziness (pitching no-hitters on LSD), then I will pledge my loyalty to him forever.  For now, he has my fanhood. Tim Lincecum...

I love exhibition games. They are like lopsided all-star games where players will take any chance to do something filthy. There’s no faking the funk on these nasty dunks.

The Jeremiah Masoli spread is now invincible. Pete Carroll has finally met an opponent that may shake him from his ultra vanilla offense and defense. Scheme matters again in the Pac-10. Oregon has it and USC does not. Is Stanford a trap game for Oregon? Should Jeff Tedford be fired...

Another week come and gone. Oregon, USC, Arizona, and Stanford look to be the cream at this point. In that order for now. If I’m a UCLA fan, at what point am I allowed to voice my frustration that Rick Neuheisel has yet to find a way to consistently score? ...

Louis CK is one of the best working comics around. Even with two specials and a flawed but funny HBO sitcom, I still think he is extremely underrated. He is performing on November 5th at Meany Hall, University of Washington.

Fig Jam This month, the University of Washington proposed  re-starting their annual basketball game against the Gonzaga Bulldogs.  The two teams have not played in recent years, since UW backed out of the home and home series ( no doubt due in large part to UW’s 1-8 record over GU in the previous 9 meetings).  UW has...

Fig Jam former UW basketball player Bobby Jones has a blog about his experience playing basketball in Italy.  It has drawn some press recently for some comments Jones made about playing D1 basketball.  I wasn’t too incensed by anything he wrote, but I was entertained by Jones’ other entries.  I now check his blog often, hoping...

OK, so all 4 losses to date have sucked in their own special way, but I’m curious… to you, which one stung hardest?  I can see reasons someone could argue for any of the four. LSU: No one saw us hanging in that game to begin with, and that upset was there for us to...

43-38. Both quarterbacks throwing for over 400 yards. Arizona and Stanford played the beautiful game last Saturday in Tucson. I really am passionate about the football played in this conference. I think it’s the best. The SEC is nice, but the Pac-10 has always had more innovative/effective offenses. ...

One thing is for certain, no one will ever say your time here was boring… In his first season with the team, Johjima hit .291 with 18 home runs and 76 RBIs in 144 games.  This was in a post-Ichiro landscape, but also a post-Chan Ho Park and So Taguchi world as well.  What...
