"War's over, man. Arizona dropped the big one."
Brockman: "Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Dentmon: "Germans?"
Hawes: "Forget it, he's rolling."
Brockman: "And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!"
Brockman: "What the fuck happened to the UW I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Brockman, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. California, their dead men! Stanford, dead! WAZZU... "
Appleby: "Dead! Brockman's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. "
Sorry, I needed to go a little buck-wild on ya'all. Didn't this game tonight feel like one of those escape from prison movies. One where there is a dreadful shower scene and the main character is some one's bitch. You could picture the Huskies sitting in their cell, shaking, holding a carved shank, rocking back in forth, mumbling to themselves about getting out, and not letting the "bad man" touch them anymore. You could sense how desperate both these teams were. The loser pretty much gets eliminated from NCAA talks, especially since Cal has a rough stretch on the road coming up. This game was a Rocky IV vs. Clubber Lang-esque type of game. Each taking huge hits at each other, neither wilting until the end, when the hero won!
Now that UW is 5-7 in Pac-10 play, and have dug their way out of Alcatraz, the light is brighter, the food tastes better, and the soft touch of a woman is much better then the rough hands of a prison mistress. Brockman went ape shit on Cal this evening, with 22 points and 14 rebounds. Is Brockman more NBA ready then Hawes? From his appearance tonight, and his appearance in the desert, I would say Brockman would be a top-15 pick if he came out this year. Good thing Brockman said he is staying all 4 years...
I have sat the past three of four days a little wide-eyed, and nauseous. My beloved Huskies were (are) tanking, life as I knew sucked. We started this blog this year to record all the brilliance that is Washington Basketball. Truthfully, it has been slightly painful chugging on in this voyage. Feeling like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, I searched for answers. Then I watched Animal House this past weekend, and found my inspiration to carry on. Bluto's speech was the kick in the ass I needed to get hyped again, to put back on my Husky basketball shorts, and sit this evening and watch the game totally enthused about making the NCAA tourney.
It can happen. UW has to get hot, and Brockman is going to have to be a man. Tonight it looked as though Brockman said enough was enough. Brockman entered the "My team is winning tonight and there is not a damn thing you can do about it" stage this evening, and by God, UW won this game going away. Hawes looked good, but he is overrated as someone who can enter the NBA and contribute right away. I think his pick would be to secure a future big man in the NBA. Potential matters so much to these scouts that it almost makes me sick. If UW is going to win, it will because of Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon. The funny this is that all Dentmon has to do is not turn the basketball over. If he can maintain possession, and feed the ball to Hawes and Brockman cleanly, UW could be set.
Today I learned that my girl secured me tickets to the Husky game on Sunday against Stanford. Stanford, they're dead men! Might even bring a sign that says so!
Dentmon: "Germans?"
Hawes: "Forget it, he's rolling."
