  So it's official now? That's too bad that Kim had to sling his name through all this.
  
  It really is a shame that James didn't have a statue when he was living.

  Thanks for an awesome childhood of Husky football culminating in me watching you hoist up a NC trophy when I was 16 years old.

  Celebrate his life and his achievements... we were lucky to watch his career... if you believe in after life he is in a better place..his legacy will live on. He lived a full life and impacted others into his 80's....t's and p's for those closest to him.

  My favorite UW/Don James memory is 92 Rose Bowl win for the natty. Went back to basic training the next morning and didn't learn that UW won the natty for a couple days.

  I don't belief in afterlife and I still think he's in a better place than living with pancreatic cancer.
  
  Ugh.

  Ugh.
  
  

  At the risk of being insensitive, I submit he's in a better place than living with the past 2 decades of Husky football.
  
  Don't tell me the demise of WASHINGTON as he made didn't make him want to die in a fucking fire, especially the years from Tytanic-present.

  Yea I read that 3-5 and I was confused. I knew he beat them in the Rose Bowl twice and won both regular season meetings.
