UCLA head football coach Rick Neuheisel is back in Seattle this weekend to take on his former team.

An interesting article on UCLA football coach Rick Neuheisel and his return this weekend to Husky Stadium.

At 2-7 and four games out of first place in the NFC West, there’s little chance the Seahawks will make the playoffs. It’ll be nice to see starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck on the field though...hopefully.

An article on Seattle Mariners’ potential managerial candidates.

Speaking of managerial candidates, the Mariners interviewed Joey Cora today. I wouldn’t mind him being the manager.
At least someone thinks the Mariners can win again soon.

A quick update on my high school football team. They’re 9-0 after defeating Inglemoor, 35-14 in the first round of the Washington state 4A playoffs. Woodinville (8-1) should be a lot tougher challenge this week, but if I recall correctly, Auburn hasn’t dropped a single home game in the three years I’ve been back from my mission.
Interestingly though, Woodinville and Auburn played each other in the 2005 state playoffs with Woodinville winning 14-7.
