Husky Women Truly Dismal: The Dawgs lady hoopsters had just 27 points in a home loss to Georgia Tech last night. They narrowly avoided their lowest point total ever, 24 points in a 1975 game. Remember when Tia Jackson was hired to bring excitement back? Unless you enjoy the sound of basketballs clanking against rims, there’s no excitement around this program, just misery.
What they’re saying…
“(Matt Hasselbeck) is our best player on offense.” — Seahawks offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates, explaining why the team’s offense stinks.
“Whoever does make it to the playoffs is going to have won (these last) two games probably, and then get on a roll, be hot, and host a game at home. We’ll see. Who knows? First ones first and we’ve got to take care of business if we want that to happen.” — Matt Hasselbeck
“Just ran into ken griffey Jr at the mall in Orlando, he rep the 206 so tough #WordAApp! Much respect for #24 Seattle will always be home 4 u.” — Nate Robinson, via Twitter
