Romar looking at the wads of cash Illinois had to throw at him to make this happen

Please enjoy my satirical piece on Lorenzo Romar accepting the Illinois job, an April Fools idea.  (Hint: Click the links)

Depending on who you are, this isn’t the type of news you were quite hoping to hear today.

Multiple sources are reporting that Lorenzo Romar has accepted the job to become the head coach at the University of Illinois, that was vacated when Bruce Weber was relieved of his duties at the end of the season. An official announcement from both schools should be coming soon, as contractual issues are

Thanks, Seattle Times.

There was absolutely no doubt today who the better basketball team was between UCLA and Washington.

There was no doubt who had the most talent, no doubt who had the overall momentum. There was no doubt who should have eventually won this basketball game.

Having no doubt isn’t good enough, because the UCLA Bruins won the basketball game 75-69.

Washington was given an opportunity this afternoon to bury demons from earlier in the season and make a clear statement about their program, their team, and their place in this college basketball world.

They left their outright conference championship on the table.

That's called a conference tournament trophy. Lorenzo Romar has delivered one three times.

On an annual basis, Lorenzo Romar just might be one of the most maligned individuals in the Seattle Sports community. Those who criticize him will point to an apparent lack of Xs and Os ability. The lack of consistency. Constant under achieving of a roster full of clear NBA talent. Some might even criticize his ability to recruit talent.

Earlier this season might have been the worst. With two sure fire first round picks in his back court, LoRo and crew embarrassed themselves in out of conference. South Dakota State, Saint Louis, Nevada, all handed Washington an L. Marquette and Duke… Continue reading

Luckily for myself, and my crew of Husky fans that made the trek to Pullman, we were able to walk out of that arena with smiles on our faces, and with drunk Cougs showering us with insults.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I loved it when the angry WSU student sitting in… Continue reading

Washington's best player needs to quit being lethargic to start games and be a forty minute spark

It’s hard enough to believe that as we stand today, the University of Washington is primed to win the Pac-12.

These Huskies stumbled out of the gate, showing little on court chemistry or wherewithal to be able to survive the rigors of the season without a real veteran on court presence.

But, here we are, a five game winning streak and having won 11 of their last 13, Lorenzo Romar has once again been able to shove square pegs in to round holes as the season has gone deeper and deeper.

But there’s… Continue reading
