CAN'T WAIT TIL TOMORROW
Why? So this Husky hype will friggin go away and hopefully these Husky backers will be brought down to earth when all their weaknesses are exposed by the defending national champs. Also because KJR is becoming increasingly unbearable to listen to, and I really have no alternative for radio other than crappy music stations on the FM dial. I just heard a call placed to John Clayton where a guy was bitching about how no one other than Softy at the station is giving the Huskies a chance to win, and that they should be true fans since they're the Husky station and be more positive against the Huskies. Clayton's three-word response: "I'm a reporter." Damn right. He's not a fan. The caller couldn't realize that indeed some of the people that work at KJR are actually not Husky alums or fans. Perish the thought.
The Bremerton Patriot, which can be found for free on any Bremertonian's doorstep even though the price on it is fifty cents, ran a full-page feature on the upcoming McKnight era in B-town HS football. He's a good guy and probably the best in-house hire they could have made. That said, there's a whole negative mentality around most of BHS sports that hopefully disappears someday. The four best things that have happened in recent memory to BHS sports are the 5th-at-state basketball run in 1999, the winning football season from a couple years ago, anything the Kirk sisters have done, and anything Marvin Williams has done. The rest of the things that have happened to Bremerton HS sports probably revolve around losing, and the losing doesn't get publicized, which can be taken as both good and bad. Good because no one gets lambasted or embarrassed, but possibly bad because nobody cares. Just a few random thoughts on HS sports on the town of B. They'll probably evolve into something coherent later, but that's where it is for now.
One hour from the Mariner game...let's hope they come out hackin today.
