Burberry
I went to Bellevue Square today and saw the Burberry watch and fell in love. (This post has nothing to do with the post below)
Your turn
I like you, I've always liked you. Do you know? Maybe. Do you like me? Maybe. Will you read this? Probably never. Just wanted to say that I've made my move, your turn.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Lakers fans can rest easy. Kobe Bryant's right knee was a bit sore Wednesday, but the injury isn't serious and it's possible he won't miss any playing time.
"I'm all right, a little bit better today, a better mood, anyway," Bryant said after sitting out practice due to the hyperextended right knee he suffered Tuesday night in the second quarter of the Lakers' 102-98 preseason victory over the Charlotte Bobcats in San Diego.
Wearing an ice bag on his knee, Bryant said he felt a lot better about his injury Wednesday morning.
"There was no swelling," he said. "At that point, I knew I was OK. Some injuries can go either way. You've got to get lucky. I didn't sleep much, to be honest with you. Just moving it around, seeing if it was all right. These type of injuries kind of sneak up on you."
Bryant, the reigning NBA MVP, was injured under the Lakers' basket when he banged knees with teammate Josh Powell while going for a rebound. He immediately signaled to the bench that he was hurt, and a timeout was called. Bryant then sat at the end of the bench before walking to the locker room, and didn't return for the second half.
"I saw the ring flash before my eyes," Bryant said. "I was pretty worried. That's the scariest part, sitting there for five or 10 minutes, seeing what's going to develop."
Powell said he didn't feel anything.
"I didn't see him until I turned around. I turned around, saw him jumping up and down. I thought he rolled his ankle," Powell said.
"It was all his fault," Bryant said with a smile. "We just happened to run into each other."
The 30-year-old Bryant, examined Wednesday by trainer Gary Vitti, won't see a doctor or have an MRI. He said he hopes to play Thursday night when the Lakers face the Bobcats again, this time in Anaheim.
"If I can go, I can go," Bryant said. "It's all good."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he wouldn't talk Bryant out of playing.
"We always like players to go out and play," the coach said. "That's what they do. It gives us a chance to go out and function on the floor."
While Jackson said he wasn't too concerned, he added: "Seeing this injury over the course of my career, it's an injury you can't minimize at all. It could have some lingering effects. We'll see how it is tomorrow. We kind of go day to day in this business."

SAN DIEGO -- Kobe Bryant hyperextended his right knee in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' exhibition game Tuesday night.
Bryant, who scored four points in 14 minutes against the Charlotte Bobcats, did not come out with the team for the second half. The Lakers announced Bryant will be re-examined Wednesday.
Bryant injured his knee jumping for a rebound with 3:08 left in the first half. The reigning NBA MVP limped off the court favoring his right leg. He motioned to the bench to come out and coach Phil Jackson called a 20-second timeout.

Uhh Huskies?
Fire Ty. Enough said.
Well here's a little more: During the halftime festivities (or maybe it was between the third and fourth quarter), Don James and the '78 Rose Bowl team got more cheers than the Huskies. More cheers than the 2008, Tyrone Losingham Huskies. The guy throwing footballs for a $5,000 scholarship seemed to get more cheers than the 2008 , Tyrone Losingham Huskies. Here was the defensive scheme: Stack eight in the box and contain Jaquizz Rodgers. We did a good job at that, he only had 94 yards on 20 carries. Wait, JAMES Rodgers (remember from 2007?) had 110 yards on.....wait for it.....wait for it....3 carries!?!?!?! WTF! Here's some more great defense by the Huskies, Lyle Moevao was 18/22 for 191 and one touchdown. Great, 8.7 yards per catch. As you can see, our defense was typical, can defend the run with huge holes in the zone for the passing game.
Some may write off Fouch for his zero touchdown, three interception performance. But you may remember his flashes of excellence, long and ACCURATE throws that Locker still hasn't shown. Sure Fouch can't escape the pressure coming from opposing defenses like Locker does but if we had a decent O-line that could protect the quarterback we wouldn't have to have such a mobile quarterback.
Horrid defense and mediocre offense isn't going to cut it. It also doesn't help to have one of the worst recruiters in the nation.
Here's to TW's last season destroying our program. Maybe Don James could have done better with a whiteboard and a dry erase pen. Drink up Husky fans, we need enough liquor to last us through six more games, hopefully a win over in Pullman. Drink up Huskies as the next winning season seems far too distant and Rose Bowl thoughts are more like dreams (for now).

FTW (semi old repost)
I just snicker when I hear commentators talk about Tyrone Willingham needing more time at Washington. More time for what? To kill Husky football for the next five years? If Willingham's allowed to continue he's going to deliver a death knell recruiting class to the Huskies. Babbling idiots like John Saunders and Mark May keep talking about Tyrone needing more time for his recruiting to take hold. They forget that it's already taken hold. It is what it is and what it's always been.
Washington had a good recruiting class last year. Not elite. Not great. Just a good class. It finished anywhere between 14th and 24th in the country depending upon which service you use. That class followed two straight recruiting classes by Willingham that didn't crack the top 25. And the only reason last year's class was good was because there were so many in state recruits that were high caliber. That won't be the case this year or in most years. Consider this fact: over the last three years Willingham has recruited exactly four four-star or higher players from outside the state and only three are with the team. One great player a year from outside the state? That wouldn't cut it at Texas, Florida or USC which are loaded with in state talent. Washington is not. To succeed you have to get at least some of best kids from around the country.
But that folks is as good as it gets under Willingham. Woof, woof.
Currently the Huskies have the 86th ranked class after losing their best player (who decomitted last week.)
Willingham is about to do to the Huskies what he did to ND and Stanford before him.
For those who didn't follow Notre Dame closely back at the end of Willingham's tenure, the most frightening element wasn't the prospect of another mediocre to bad season, it was the recruiting abyss we were staring into.
In Willingham's second season at Notre Dame he recruited one of the worst overall Notre Dame classes in decades. In this third season, he was doing it again, only this time it looked even worse. Two classes that were all but bereft of linemen.
When USC and Michigan are piling up top ten class after top ten class, that dog won't hunt.
Worse still was the fact that Willingham didn't expect things to get much better on the field, which would have ensured three straight bad recruiting years; a virtual death penalty that Notre Dame wouldn't have recovered from 'till this day.
What made all of this maddening to Notre Dame fans was that Willingham wasn't even trying, he simply expected recruits to come to him. Recruiting analyst Tom Lemming labeled Willingham and his staff outright lazy. Willingham would wait and wait to evaluate and offer kids while other coaches mounted full court presses.
Charlie, while still coaching the Patriots, wasn't able to do much to turn that second class around, but finally put together a top 10 class his second year and has followed that up with two top 5 classes including last year's number one recruiting class.
But the die had already been cast. Last year Notre Dame had exactly two offensive linemen in its junior and senior classes.
That's unheard of... or maybe it isn't... read on.
Willingham left Notre Dame with over 5 million dollars in payouts (he was still the highest paid Notre Dame coach last year btw) and then proceeded to scorch ND's reputation, letting John Saunders float charges of racism while Tyrone played the big man.
So that's Notre Dame. Scorched and burned. Millions out the window and a black hole in recruiting that's taken Notre Dame to its lowest depths in decades. That scorched earth is finally turning to fertile ground and the Irish are coming back from the dead.
None of this surprises Stanford followers who also felt the black hole of Willingham recruiting, twice.
Willingham created his own black hole back in 1996 when he failed to recruit one offensive lineman that year. None. Zero. Zippo. Willingham went 5-6 and 3-8 the next two years and almost got fired. But a 8-4 run against a depleted Pac 10 in 1999 (he was 7-1 against the Pac 10 and 1-3 outside of the Pac 10) saved his job before a third losing season in four years in 2000.
Willingham had his best year in 2001 finishing 9-3. But pain was coming as Willingham's recruiting sewed the seeds for failure again leaving Teevens with what the San Francisco Chronicle called "rampant inexperience on the offensive line" in 2003. Said the Chronicle, "... a line that couldn't run block, couldn't protect the passer and couldn't stand up to more experienced defenses at virtually every turn. " Sounds like Notre Dame in 2007.
Here's the Stanford 2003 preview from SI: "The Cardinal is hurting on the offense line with only one experienced returnee in three-year starter Kirk Chambers, the left tackle. Kwame Harris' early departure for the NFL complicated an already dire situation, and now Teevens will have to rely on a host of unproven players, including seven redshirt freshmen."
Sound familiar Domers? What happened?
Willingham's recruiting left Teevens with only... drum roll please... TWO upper class offensive linemen out of fourteen on the team.
In other words, he created the exact same problem at both schools.
Predictably, Teevens (not that he wouldn't have failed) bombed in his second year in the same way Notre Dame did... just slightly worse than Weis's 3-9 last year. What we've learned is that both coaches were playing with a very unstacked deck due to negligent recruiting. Stanford followers speculated that Willingham got out just in time.
It's no surprise to anyone that Willingham led the charge to impose restrictions on coaches travel. It saved him from having to compete on hard work.
The thing we Domers learned is that Willingham only cares about Willingham. He poisoned the well in every conceivable way upon his departure from Notre Dame. He left a media mess, a recruiting nightmare and a financial albatross. It didn't have to be that way either. If he fired Deidrick he could have stayed (something he did anyway when he went to Washington.) He didn't and that turned out to be the best thing that has happened to Notre Dame football in years.
But now the Huskies are facing the same Willingham imposed virtual death penalty. A null recruiting class following one decent and two mediocre classes will hamstring the Huskies for years. And if you thought Willingham didn't work hard on the recruiting trail before, you ain't seen nothing yet. A lame duck Willingham won't be able to take the insult of rejection. Remember Tyrone only cares about Tyrone and recruiting takes a lot of groundwork.
Recruiting isn't microwave popcorn ya know.
Most Domers think that Willingham's a self-important con artist who talks in strange platitudes that sound smart when you first hear them, but upon reflection make little sense and mask his lack of understanding of the issues. I used to think his stern looks had meaning, now I just view them as funny faces he makes when he's clueless.
At Stanford he opined what he would do with Notre Dame's players. At Notre Dame he wondered what he would do with out the restrictions. Lack of performance was always someone else's fault. I have no idea where he goes from here, but I believe that if he had an offer to go to another school with a good golf course nearby, he'd be on a plane already.
But after scorching the earth from South Bend to Seattle, it looks like this time the jig's up. When he leaves, don't expect it to be pretty. At Notre Dame he took people down with him and some reports claim he's already done that with Todd Turner at the Dub.
As AFCA president, Willingham may yet have another surprise in the works

Good day.
Today the scores from the multiple choice part of the physics midterm were posted. I got a 20/20. There were six questions and I only really answered four of them. I had to guess on the other two because I ran out of time.
Overall, good day.
Overall, good day.
