Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Text exchange the other day
I was having a text exchange with Joey and Woolley the other day.
I was saying Richard Newton reminds me of 2006 fullback James Sims who had one monster game against one of the Arizona schools but otherwise did little. I feel like Newton has one monster game in him before he departs. 15 carries, 202 yards and 3 tds. Something like that.
Woolley and I were saying imagine Shelton Sampson being coached by a DeBoer team, or if he could have been the main back on the 2000 Rose Bowl team.
Meanwhile, Joey was interjecting obscure wrestling references from 1960s Whatcom County. Kinda awkward frankly.

I also mentioned the running backs between Corey Dillon and Chris Polk is an interesting and mostly unspectacular stew.
The 2000 offense was so good it made Rich Alexis look like a big time running back.
30 carries for 200 yards. Dawgs beat Arizona 38-14 and broke a 14 game Pac 10 losing streak
"I honestly didn't think Arizona would be off their game tonight," said Willingham, back in the Pac-10 after being fired following three years at Notre Dame.
“With their upset over UCLA, I thought they would be excited and ready for us, but we took advantage of every opportunity."

James Sims isn't sure if he wants to be out front or behind the scenes, and that fits because he may be Washington's secret weapon this year playing a mutant position.
Sims, an Academic All-American, cinema studies major and sketch comedy enthusiast, is not really a fullback, but he will play one for the Huskies on TV. Fullbacks are not 209 pounds. Fullbacks don't run 4.4 40-yard dashes. Fullbacks don't graduate high school with 4.0 GPAs and serve as student body presidents...But on a team with a 280-pound tailback -- bruising freshman Johnie Kirton -- perhaps Sims makes sense.
Basically they switched him from safety because he was an athletic freak with zero instincts and for some mid-2000s UW fuckery decided backup fullback. I don't think he actually played much of any in that role and was a tailback by the time he received real carries.
If @JoeEDangerously owned a chain of bar restaurants I'm sure they'd be called "Joey Dangerously's"
Angry Joe’s more likely. Doug Baldwin stole my gimmick before I could copyright it I guess
It was one of the two. I'm right until I'm wrong though.
