Love was in the air
To continue the build up to the hardcourt clash between UW and Wazzu this weekend, we present more awesome video of triumphs of good over evil.

Valentine's Day 2007. What better way to spend time with your sweetie than snuggling up in front of the TV (or in the case of about 3,000 Coug fans, Hec Ed) to watch an Ivory Clark dunkfest? This was the fourth consecutive victory for the Cougs over the Huskies and the second in a row in Seattle. It followed the 75-47 slaughter at Friel. It was vastly different that the season before, when UW was the highly ranked team. The roles switched but the result stayed the same. Cougs win.
You knew it had to go well when Antonio Chavers started the scoring with a deep three right? It continued with five first half Ivory Clark dunks, including a nice facial for Jon Brockman. Taylor Rochestie had a huge game and his WSU star was born. Don't you love these people who make highlight videos for us to enjoy?
By the way, apparently YouTube disabled the audio on this one, so you might want to turn on some music and get some popcorn. The video is 8 and a half minutes long and shows EVERY SINGLE Cougar basket in the game.
Go Cougs! Click on the link below and make the jump for the video.

I was there
And described it here. I was also at the blowout at Friel, which was kind of anticlimactic in so many ways. I don’t think any of us expected that first blowout.
The thing I remember most about this game? I got my tickets from UW’s online sale of remaining tickets the Monday before the game. When I got to Hec Ed, it turned out that pretty much every other Cougar had the same idea as me, because the top three rows of the arena were almost entirely Crimson.
I like Jon Brockman, but nothing was quite as satisfying as watching him get a full face of Ivory Clark’s, um, groin area trying to take a weak charge.

You like Jon Brockman?
Sure he hustles his butt off, is generally a good guy, and I would have loved if he was a Coug for the last four years. But he wears purple and gold!
This is where per game statistics go to die.

Maybe I should say I can "appreciate" Jon Brockman
After all, how can you not appreciate a guy who more or less plays like a 40-year-old at the YMCA? Watch him closely sometime — he knows every old guy trick in the book. About the only thing he doesn’t do is pull on armpit hair.
The guy is a good athlete, but not a great one. Yet, he’ll be in the NBA next year.
By the way, did you know that he and Harmeling are really good friends?

I did not know that.
40 year old at YMCA, classic. I’m sure he’d love to hear that. Don’t forget they always have the terrible looking jump shot that seems to go in way too frequently.

This is why you're a pro DF
I loved that Ivory dunk so much. I would say play of the year for 2007.

A great picture too
The crimson jersey standing out amongst the sea of purple on the background, Ivory’s knee at Brockman’s neck, wonderful.
