The Dawgfather
AlanI fully utilized the bye week! I needed it badly. Fans of the Dawgs have seen quite an up and down swing of emotions throughout this season. Eight games in eight weeks against eight teams most likely to make bowls games. We have seen miracle plays going our way, to knife in the back soul crushing plays against us. This team needed the bye week in a big way…take a breath, heal the bruises. Jake Locker injured early in the Oregon game needed every bit of time to get himself ready to go for the game against UCLA today.
The Huskies go down to the Rose Bowl to meet Slick Rick and his Bruin team. The Bruins are 0-5 in the Pac-10 Conference but are still favored to win the game. The Huskies have not won in the Rose Bowl since 1995. In those six games the Bruins derailed the hopes of some good Husky teams. It is time to change this pattern and put the pressure back on New Weasel.
Hopefully the bye week has brought the Dawgs a renewed sense of energy and purpose. The goals of the season are still there available to be achieved. Back, meet wall…we are up against it. This may truly be the first must win game of the season. Today in the sunshine of Southern California the Huskies have the chance to reverse the trends and take a late season shot a bowl game.
GO DAWGS!!! Beat the Bruins!
