The best part of that article is how casual Todd acts about kicking it with Stevens and Hope Solo.
He must not believe in gun control.
The only thing more cocked and loaded than me in the stevens/solo residence would be Solo herself. -
An annual message board post is invariably somebody saying how the 2000 Huskies were all due to Tui. Neuheisel had nothing to do with it. It's a gross oversimplification, and a good example of why serious discussions of cause and effect have no place in the modern football message board.

He always reminded me of Wes Welker.

Heady player. A real "gym rat" and "bring your lunch pail" kinda guy.

So much 2000-2001 nostalgia these days (or maybe just because I read the Dawgs of War last week).
"A group of guys that would do anything it took to win games."
That's the truth -

"slowest baseball game in history..."
I LOL'ed. -

Todd Elstrom. played high school football with Luke Huard at Puyallup. I remember attending a game when they were ranked either #1 or 2 in 4A football. I was upset Luke Huard wasn't going to UW and made a comment to my two dads about it. A Puyallup fan in front of me told me UW got the better player in Elstrom. That turned out accurate.
Elstrom became one of my favorites off the 2000 team. I liked the WR's on that team. They weren't great, but Elstrom, Robbins, and Hooks all made some big, clutch plays that year. Elstrom went from being the leading receiver off the 2000 team to the 3rd in 2001 because of Reggie Williams and Paul Arnold. He was what many wished Cody Bruns was. Tough, dependable, a team player, and a real lunch pail kind of guy. -
As opposed to Williams and Arnold, who were more your edgy, athletic, me-first kind of guys.RoadDawg55 said:Todd Elstrom. played high school football with Luke Huard at Puyallup.

Reggie and Paul had the natural talent. They were well spoken though.dnc said:

Frederick was very angry at me when I reported on the DMc boards that he had urinated into a teammate's locker and then quit the team. #JostledMemories

What teammate? Didn't Stevens punk him at some point?DerekJohnson said:Frederick was very angry at me when I reported on the DMc boards that he had urinated into a teammate's locker and then quit the team. #JostledMemories

Someone, I think Stevens, told him not to do something at practice, like sit on his helmet or something along those lines. It escalated, and Frederick went to the locker room, urinated into the locker, then left campus. He was holed up in an apartment for a couple days until Neu tracked him down and had a heart-to-heart.
Some of the older guys on the team, the Lambo guys, were angry with Neuheisel for allowing Frederick to come back to the team so easily and with so little consequence for his actions. -
Why was he angry if that's what he did?DerekJohnson said:Frederick was very angry at me when I reported on the DMc boards that he had urinated into a teammate's locker and then quit the team. #JostledMemories

Because he didn't like that aired to the public. And actually, now that I think about it, it was an actual article.
