Expectations are high for the Washington football program. The fans, players, coaches and even the nation are familiar with dominant Husky teams on the gridiron.

April 30, 2007
With the sun shining and 10,000 Washington football fans at Husky Stadium, sophomore Jake Locker led his team to a touchdown on the opening drive. It may have been the young quarterback's only score of the day, but there were highlights aplenty in the annual Purple and Gold game Saturday.

The cold winter and last year's seniors are both gone. Spring is here, a season of new life and a time for new leaders to emerge.

You love the NFL draft. Like every other sports fan, you've seen all the 10,000 mock drafts — each more flawed than the next. Here is The Daily's look at Saturday's daylong football extravaganza. Beware: it won't be like the others.

There was no shortage of goals scored last night at Husky Field, but unfortunately, most of them were for the other team.

Walk-ons, junior college transfers and a young man waiting to receive his high school diploma.

Dan Howell has muscles on top of muscles. The senior linebacker's biceps and deltoids almost burst out of his polo shirt, but for now, he's had enough of just lifting and conditioning.

April 10, 2007
They say practice makes perfect. For the Washington football team, that practice officially started yesterday. The goal of being a bowl team hasn't changed, but the patience surrounding the program is growing thin.

April 3, 2007
A deafening Husky Stadium. Top 25 rankings. Rose Bowls. Once familiar pieces of the Washington football program, the 2007 team hopes to remind Husky fans what winning feels like.

The gloves are off now. This four-year paying Dawg Pack member (yes, I paid for this year) has bottled up his emotions for too long.

This was a win that had to happen. With all the buildup of a could-be legendary Pac-10 tournament run, this was supposed to be the first and easiest round of them all.

March 7, 2007
Teams playing for seeding, teams playing to keep fresh and teams simply hanging onto that last fleeting hope of NCAA tournament play; the Pac-10 tournament in Los Angeles boasts a bevy of dreams and expectations.

Mayers: While my heart leans another direction, my head tells me to pick UCLA, and being able to play in Los Angeles tips the balance.

Unlike most media prognosticators and all the fans at home convinced they know better, I won't try to pretend I'm a member of the NCAA Tournament selection committee.

March 2, 2007
A solid win over a ranked opponent at home.

EUGENE, Ore. — Only the Pit Crew, the Oregon student section seemingly comprised of classless idiots, would make the victim into the villain.

February 23, 2007
Washington came into last night's game needing to make believers of a skeptical college basketball community. Instead, the Huskies — with everything to play for — were outclassed and outperformed in every facet of the game by an Oregon State team playing for nothing but pride.

Now is the most exciting time of the UW men's basketball season. Why? Simple. Right now, the Huskies are playing their best basketball of the year.

February 15, 2007
Revenge is not a common theme associated with a day for lovers, but it was all Washington had on its mind.

February 13, 2007

February 12, 2007
Now that's more like it. Grabbing every stray rebound, diving to every loose ball, Washington flat out earned this weekend sweep.

February 9, 2007
Here it is. The home stretch. In the marathon that is the Pac-10 season, the Huskies have been more than a couple minutes behind the leaders at the last time check.

I hope you didn't get up early for this. I sincerely hope you didn't set your alarm clock, enjoy a promising bowl of cereal and anticipate a big win on the road.

You can breathe now, Husky fans. It's over.

He threw his jacket to the ground with all the frustration of the past four weeks. At that point, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar wasn't going to let his team lose.

On the way to Pullman, it was as if the Husky team bus couldn't make it through Snoqualmie Pass. That's why when you watched the game on Saturday, it seemed like the Dawgs didn't even show up.

The Los Angeles Galaxy is the most popular soccer team in the country. The Major League Soccer team features the States' best talent, as well as a recently acquired international superstar.

I'm not going to tell you to lower your expectations — it's too late.

Four losses, all on the road. This was the game to put the nagging doubts to rest. This was the time to fight back into Pac-10 contention.

Spencer Hawes and Jon Brockman were household names in Seattle even before they committed to the University of Washington. They dominated the local prep scene as two of the best big men this area has ever seen.

It was in week four, Sunday night on primetime television. The Chicago Bears embarrassed the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks 37-6 at Soldier Field.

January 8, 2007
When you're 0-3, you don't get to choose how attractive your first conference win is. Saturday's win over Arizona State wasn't flashy or entertaining — particularly with the Seahawks amid a playoff classic — but the Huskies will take it.

January 5, 2007
In my four years of UW basketball, I have never feared for my personal well-being while at a game. Last night, with a full-to-the-brim Hec Edmundson Pavilion shaking to its very core, I did fear for my safety.

It hurts. Sitting 0-2 after the first week of Pac-10 play, the agony of defeat here at Washington has mysteriously transgressed from the gridiron to the hardwood.

They knew that they would be roommates. They even knew they'd be immediately called upon to contribute on the hardwood.

Nicholls State. Sacramento State. Last night: Idaho.

The USC Trojans. Psh. We could've beaten them at their place if we were given one final play.

November 27, 2006
It's hard to say which part of Adrian Oliver's performance on Friday was most impressive. Was it the game-high nine rebounds as one of the smallest players on the court?

November 22, 2006
Johnny DuRocher could not hold back a smile when he noticed a media room filled to the brim with anxious reporters. "Sweet!" exclaimed the junior.

Rodney Stuckey won Big Sky Player of the Year last season and was one of the nation's leading scorers — a freshman.

An Apple Cup victory allowed the Washington football program to finish the season on a positive note. Suffering another losing record, the team fell short of its goals but is ready to move forward to the 2007 season.

November 21, 2006
We all know the BCS has to be executed. The computer polls deserve to be smashed worse than the printer in Office Space.

November 20, 2006
Apple Cup hangover or not, the Washington men's basketball team was losing by an inexplicable 13 points at home midway through the first half. Then the proverbial light-switch turned on.

November 20, 2006
What a home finale for Courtney Thompson. The senior broke the Pac-10 career assists record in her final regular season game at Washington, as the No. 2 Huskies swept Arizona State 30-22, 30-22, 30-23 at Hec Edmundson Pavilion on Friday night.

Down 2-0 on the road, things looked bleak. With its season hanging in the balance, the Washington soccer team fought to stay alive and forced overtime.

November 16, 2006
It is not hard to see who the new face of the program is. Open up your wallet and pull out the men's basketball schedule — if you're a true fan you've had in there for months.

The exhibition basketball game against St. Martin's didn't count in the record books, but don't tell the Washington student section. Some fans were there at 10:30 a.m., willing to wait over eight hours to watch their team. Dealing with the cold and rain was just another day in the office for these fans. Such is the devotion of the Dawg Pack.

Mostly sunny skies and a high of 66 degrees Fahrenheit, such is tomorrow's forecast for Santa Clara, Calif. No wonder the Husky players exclaimed how excited they were to go to the Golden State after their last game.

On Sunday, Jon Brockman owned the court. Yesterday, in just 22 minutes, Justin Dentmon did.

Kevin Forrest's mom was the first to tell him that he was Pac-10 Player of the Year. The junior forward was one of seven players on the Washington men's soccer team honored in last week's Pac-10 all-conference squads.

November 14, 2006
It's Ohio State versus Michigan week. Some in the sports world are calling it "The Week," the players all calling it "The Game."

November 13, 2006
Everyone wondered if the Husky freshmen would be ready. With Jon Brockman playing the way he did Sunday, the youngsters can take their time.

November 13, 2006
Stanford was the laughing stock of the Pac-10 the entire season. Even The Daily committed an unconscionable amount of space in the sports section for making fun of the Cardinal's season. Who's laughing now?

November 13, 2006
Hats off to Kevin Forrest. The Pac-10 Player of the Year scored all three Husky goals for his second hat trick of the season as the Washington men's soccer team defeated Creighton 3-0 in an NCAA first-round game at Husky Field last Friday.
