Seattle could use some good news. After a good start, the Mariners are fading and Ken Griffey Jr. looks like a very-near-future Hall of Famer. The Sonics are long gone, of course, and the Seahawks are coming off a disappointing season. Even Starbucks has been reduced to sponsoring the target of Jon Stewart's ridicule, "Morning Joe" on MSNBC.

So forgive the good people of the Emerald City if they get excited about Nick Montana. Joe Montana's son Nick announced Wednesday that he'll play quarterback at the University of Washington once his high school career wraps up.

At this point, the Huskies should be happy if he's the second coming of Chris Simms.

Everyone wants to get on us for the winless season, but really...there's nowhere to go but up! Montana is a great signing for UW and I expect nothing but improvment from the total team over the next couple years. The Huskies will be back, trust me. We're going to sneak up on a few teams on our way back to the top of the Pac-10!

A Pac-10 school in Washington should land one of the top H.S. QB's from Washington ... which by the way happens to generally be the hot bed state for passing QB's in the country generally. So what does Sark do ... goes to So. Cal instead ... cuz thats the only place he has ties to recruit in rather than strengthen his ability to instate recruit.

    NCAAF w/Graham Watson
    • Graham WatsonUh, I think this is a different team than the one that played those first three games. Remember, Luke Lippincott was playing receiver the first fourth of the year. And this Nevada team is sky-high with confidence right now. But Boise State is still Boise State. It's not the No. 6 team in the country for nothing and they've abused WAC opponents just like Nevada has.
    • Christian (Albuquerque, NM)Chances Mike Locksley is fired at the end of this season?
    • Graham WatsonI think the win last week keeps him in New Mexico for another year.
    • Katie (Eagle, ID)Graham, everone has been complaining about Boise playing a "one-game season." I think Fresno, Idaho and Nevada would take exception to that. How much would a solid Boise performance and win against a very good Nevada team help their bid for a BCS bowl?
