Thursday News - Washington

News from Hawaii:

Brian McInnis profiles senior linebacker Micah Lau. He talks about dealing with having less playing time than last year.
"Well, from playing a lot last year, it's hard to switch (roles), but I'm happy to because this is where, as a team, you rather have a team championship than have individual recognition," Lau said. "It feels way better now than when I played last year, a lot. Just to have any contribution to the team, even if it's just on special teams, it's better than nothing. And the feeling of being a champion is way better than starting."
Dave Reardon and Billy Hull have a Sports Notebook article about yesterday's rain-out, with a quote from Colt:
"It was a nice downpour," Brennan said, smiling. "We were going to run over into our indoor facilities, but there was some problem I think. It hasn't been built yet. Then we thought we'd go to Cooke Field, but there's no field."
They also report that Colt filmed a segment for ESPN, with Desmond Howard interviewing him next to a Heisman trophy about his chances to get one.

Stephen Tsai talks to players about the rain, has injury updates on Dane Porlas, Dan Kelly and Jacob Patek, and interviews Timo Paepule about almost becoming a Husky.
"It all worked out," Paepule said. "I would have been at Washington playing (against) the WAC champs, but now we are the WAC champs."
Robert Shikina has a forecast for the game.
"It looks like the ballgame should be good," said lead forecaster Roy Matsuda at the National Weather Service. "Just a few showers, if any."
Ferd Lewis has details on all the different colleges recruiting Hawaii high schools these days.

And a BCS coordinator tells Ferd Lewis that the BCS is working.


News from Washington:

The Daily, a Washington student paper, has a roundtable discussing among other things, what a Washington victory over UH could do for the program.

John Boyle of HeraldNet writes about the struggle Herman Frazier had putting together this year's schedule, and the resulting criticism about it.

Boyle also has some news and notes, and profiles Husky from Hawaii Daniel Te'o-Nesheim.

Don Ruiz of The News Tribune talks to Warren Moon about playing in the run and shoot and what he thinks about it.
“It’s definitely a passing-quarterback’s fancy, and it can inflate numbers,” Moon said. “But it can inflate them even more if you’re more gifted. It can make an average quarterback look good, but it can make a good quarterback look great. I think that’s what it’s doing for Colt. I think he was a really good quarterback when he got there, but I think it has made him great.”
The article also has a few quotes from June Jones.

Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times profiles Washington receiver Anthony Russo, and has some news and notes.

Molly Yanity of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a blog, with a few posts about the upcoming game.

    "Everybody wants to bash our schedule, but it's not like we didn't try," said Frazier. "At the end of the day, you play the schedule before you, and we've been fortunate to this point. You won't hear us crying about anything. We just go about our business."

    Frazier doesn't mention that he was very late at doing the schedule and that he could have done it years before Colt became a name quarterback that opponents would fear. He also doesn't mention that he could have signed other opponents but he got greedy and lost them all and at the same time losing a lot of time--the word he used at that time was "SNAFU"--Situation Normal All F*^#@d Up.

    Yes, I am still upset about Frazier and whomever is supposed to be overseeing him.

    If UH wins the game against Washington and goes to a BCS bowl, it is all because of the great coaching and the dedication and fantastic playing of all members of the Team despite the SNAFUs of Frazier.

    If UH wins the game against Washington and DOES NOT go to a BCS bowl, then it is absolutely Frazier's fault.

    If UH loses against Washington, it was a great ride for a great team. And it is still Frazier's fault.
