We absolutely have to win one of the next two games

PrintTaking time out of my lunch break to drop this in:
Let's pretend the magic number to get to the tournament is 10 Pac-10 wins. I know, we're dreaming a bit, but just go with me on this.
We have the home stand this weekend against UCLA and USC. If we lose both, we fall to 3-4 in conference. Not great, but not the end of the world, right?
Wrong.
Because after this weekend we have what I affectionately call "the road trip from hell":
at Arizona State
at Arizona
at Stanford
at California
We will probably not be favored in a single game on this upcoming road trip. Let's say, realistically, that we go 1-3. That puts us at 4-7 coming out of the Bay Area.
Meaning, that to get to ten Pac-10 wins, we'd have to go 6-1 over the final seven games. That's not happening, because we'd have to not only be perfect at home, but also take 2 out of 3 on the road from UCLA, USC and Washington.
On the other hand, if we can win one of these two at home this weekend, we come out at 4-3 in conference, and in the scenario above would only need to go 5-2 down the stretch. More realistic, considering we have four of our last seven at home, which includes the Oregon schools (yay!).
A sweep this weekend would be ideal. So would making out with Scarlett Johansson. But we can't always get what we want.
So let's beat UCLA and/or USC!

That chant just flows right off the tonge... I can hear it now
“Lets beat the Bruins clap-clap clap-clap-clap And/Or USC clap-clap clap-clap-clap”
Making out with Scarlett Johanssen?
I have no idea what you’re talking about. I only want to make out with my wife. (I love you, honey!)
Um...
… if someone can facilitate a makeout session with Scarlett for me, we can lose the rest of our games for all I care.
Repping the Cougs way out here in Gotham, will be in a bar full of Bruins tonight with a small band of loyal and loud alums. Let’s get this one tonight Cougs!!!!!
Bledsoe copied my history notes.
?
haha to be honest koprivica has a better chance of making out with scarlett johanssen than the cougs do of winning these next 2 games.. first of all the cougs have no big time players who step up in clutch situations like you had in low and weaver last year and second klay and rochestie are going to sh** the bed liek they do everytime you guys play a decent team. and whoever is trying to make an arguement that rochestie should have got player of teh week is definitley miss informed. YOU GUYS WERE PLAYING THE 2 WORST TEAMS IN THE PAC!!!. i hope taylor could put together some decent numbers. Hill helped his team defeat the #1 team in the while rochestie let the beavs hand them teh game.. very dissapointing to see the beavs hand that game away.
And whoever gave you a diploma was also misinformed
They assumed you could spell the word “the.” Unless of course you don’t have a diploma. Then I guess the jokes take care of themselves at that point.
jokes on you
because the cougs are about to give me a diploma! haha im just a uw ambassador who goes to wsu because they have the major i want.
The joke is not on me
Because you’ll still be the one who still will be unable to compose a literate sentence. I’m curious: Just which major is it that will be giving a college “diploma” to a person who can’t write?

typical coug
sports management. I’m sorry i thought i was writing in a blog. i didnt know the literary novel police were going to be out to get me in here. putting that aside shouldnt we be engaging in husky and cougar rivalry dialogue, not typos….?
I suppose
But, of course, it hasn’t been much of a rivalry lately, what with us winning four of the past five Apple Cups and seven of the past eight basketball games. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say without starting to sound like a Husky fan. I prefer to just let our considerable recent accomplishments speak for themselves.
the key word is recent
we still completely dominate all time matchups by a long shot. i mean dont get me wrong the few years have been pretty rough but i cant imagine what it must feel like for you guys to have the worst losing % in football and basketball in the pac 10 over the past 50 years. wow! were back where we belong in the pac. hope you guys enjoyed these past few years because they wont be back for a long time.
See, this is the Kool Aid all Husky fans drink
Do you realize that since 1982, your lead in Apple Cups is only 16-11? And that in the last 45 basketball matchups dating back to 1986, your lead is just 23-22?
If you want to cling to the record you piled up when the schools’ resources weren’t even comparable, when the NCAA gave big schools built-in advantages with oversized scholarship limits, when television exposure was limited to a select few, then go for it — that would make you just like every other Husky fan who thinks you’re just a step away from your "rightful place" at the top of the conference.
But if you’d like to join the rest of the conference in what we Cougars like to call "reality," you’ll realize that the landscape of the Pac-10 has forever changed, and you’ll deal with the fact that the University of Washington will never again enjoy the extended dominance it once held over any of its opponents.

im living in reality
and the dawgs on top of the pac and well the cougs are still cougin it…
Nice retort
Again, typical Husky. I come at you with facts and analysis, and you come back with mythological jargon. Congratulations. You’ve proved you’re a Husky.
Wouldn't it be funny if we beat UCLA
Then we would be tied at 4-2 for 2nd in the conference
"...we can't always get what we want..."
..but if we try sometimes, we might find, we get what we need.
