I've seen some of you in person and thank goodness I played in the era of face mask technology. Watch out for that sneaky forward pass guys....


I was there watching Stonefish scraping skin off his arms and eating dirt. It had to be relief when he played for the Huskies. He graduated from dirt to cement like AstroTurf. I love to tell the story of taking my wife to Stonefish's high school games. She would look at him playing middle linebacker and he being quite a bit bigger than the rest of the players and mowing guys down she would say, "Are you sure it's fair? He's bigger than them." Of course when he got to the UW everyone was of proportionate size. Go DAWGS!
