PrintOn Monday morning I was finishing my weekly piece the Monday Morning Wash and the phone rang and I accidentally erased the entire column. It has been really busy around here as we try to balance work, personal, and social life so simply didn't have time to ressurect it. I do have to tell you that there wasn't a whole lot new to write about so you guys didn't really miss much all that much.
I do have articles in the hopper to last us through next Monday afternoon. We still have the California preview to release along with position reports for Quarterbacks and Special Teams. We also are going to be taking a look through the annual purple tinted glasses at what Washington needs to do to qualify for a bowl game this year. We also have an annual peice entitled what can go right or wrong in 2009.
Finally next Monday we have the Monday Morning Wash special first day of fall camp edition. We take a look at what the expections and realities for the coaching staff in 2009. We all know coaches get a honeymoon period which lasts a couple of years. Willingham's ended after his team lost to Stanford in year two. So we ask the question of how long until the new coaches are on the hot seat.
Anyway sorry about yesterday, but we have some great stuff coming to you over the rest of the week!

Monday Morning Columbia summer steelhead report
I went out with gorgedawg (Mike) and his buddy Jerry in Mike’s boat. Launched from Cathlamet at 3 AM got to the anchor spot just west of Skamakawa about 4:30. We hooked 8 boated 4 through some bad luck but it was fun none the less.
Fantastic
Great weather for fishing or at least trolling around.

They anchor
for summer Chinook and steelhead, troll for springers.
Jerry found a spot where they can anchor and float shrimp off the bottom about a foot or so. If the fish are running they come through that spot.
Cant wait for the Purple Kool Aid party!
Sounds like a lot of great things are coming up. Lots of preseason discussions.
Anyone going to be able to go to practices on a regular basis?
Raise the Woof
I bought two tickets and gorgedawg is trying to work out the logistics so he and wifey can make it.
Dang you are dedicated!
Weren’t the tickets like 55 bucks? Don’t get me wrong I’d love to go and I think it’s a great way to support the program, good for you! I live far enough away that I have to kind of choose my trips. I love going to the recruiting banquet! It was the best EVER as far as atmosphere, even better than Neu when he was in his glory! I recommend that too!

Honeymoon is OFFICIALLY over
This program and its fanbase needs to get tough. In SEC country the honeymoon is officially over once the hire is made. We have too much tradition and success to expect to casually waltz back into the national spotlight. We should demand it from the school president, athletic director, head coach and coaching staff, and alumni association. Everybody needs to get on board and expect good things now. Not tomorrow- NOW! Tomorrow isn’t good enough. We’ve waited too long as it is.
Now I know winning 8+ games is a stretch (long stretch), but anything less then 6 wins is not acceptable. Reality says 4 or 5. But if our coaches see 4 or 5 as a benchmark for success then it won’t get done. A winning season and a bowl bid should be the benchmark now. I’m tired of losing and we’ve waited too dam long. The honeymoon is officially over and it’s time to pack your lunch, say good bye to the wifey, and put in the work to see this thing thru. Days of golfing the day away are over. This is Husky football and losing is not acceptable.
Go Dawgs! WOOF!!!
All I saw was purple
Yup. That’s why Sark has said “we need Jake healthy for 13 games” because he expects that we’re gonna be playing in a bowl game. Sark expects to win, that’s why he was hired. The BYU team that he was on in the 90’s went 14-1 and after helping Pete build USC into the power they are now, winning isn’t a hope, it’s EXPECTED. I think Sark and Co bring that attitude to these guys that have never been in a winning atmosphere and they are gonna step onto the field ready to whoop some butt. We’re goin bowling this year, I believe it.

Believing IS the first step....
…and SO important! Let’s give these guys tons of support this season! MAKE SOME NOISE! I’d love to feel that thunderous foot stomp that started somewhere up in the North Upper deck to rock Husky Stadium again! Whoever is responsible for that PLEASE start that up again!

and I accidentally erased the entire column
My dog ate my homework. LOL,
The dog
I might add that having a young Golden by my side can be a distraction….but she hasn’t erased a column yet.

Monday Morning
Seen as how I spent Monday morning water skiing on Lake Chelan, it was a good week to miss the column! Just in case anybody is wondering, you can’t beat Lake Chelan this time of year, 100 degrees, the lake was 73 degrees and crystal clear! Now that I’ve got the vacation bug out of my system, IT’S TIME FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!
GO DAWGS!

Welcome back...
…Lear! Sounds like you had fun, good for you! I remember going to Lake Chelan and riding jet skis. Good times!
