Lin doing what Lin does.

Something amazing has happened in New York City over the past few days; and it has nothing to do with the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. Basketball fans have been going insane over Jeremy Lin, the new starting point guard and momentary savior of the New York Knicks. Underdogs rise and surprises happen – that’s the beauty of sports. But the story of Jeremy Lin is absolutely incredible. I am impressed beyond measure by Lin, and the reasons go far beyond his accomplishments on the court. Here’s what Jeremy Lin has taught me, and I hope you’ll be inspired too.

A storm is passing through, bringing with it a 30% chance of snow on Tuesday night.

I can’t wait for this season. It will be my first, full snowboarding season.

I do hope that the snow on the roads remain at a minimal, if nonexistent, level. But at the same time, I hope the mountains are filled with powder.

Anyway, Spenser is a snowboarder from Alaska, and this is one of my favorite videos from him – really captures the entertainment and light-hearted fun that snowboarding brings.

Alright, back to studying!

Wanna hear some facts about today’s game?

1. Prior to today, Hawaii has never, ever won a game on the road against a BCS team. Today was their first.
2. Hawaii only returns one defensive starter from last year.
3. Hawaii barely beat Central Arkansas (is that even a school?) last week, and WSU put up as many points against Hawaii’s suspect D as they did: 20.
4. A running back from Pasco, WA – a WSU territory – scored the TD to put Hawaii up 21-0.
5. Here’s a direct quote from ESPN: “Even Hawaii’s linemen were faster than Washington State’s defensive backs. When Chima Nwachukwu picked up a fumble by Alexander at the Cougars 1 midway through the second quarter — 1 yard from Hawaii going up 42-0 — he briefly appeared free for a 99-yard score down the sideline. Then Warriors right tackle Laupepa Letuli ran him down and pushed him out of bounds at the WSU 31.”

What happened to Wazzu?

Here’s what WSU accomplished in the first few years of the 2000s:

1. Beat USC.
2. Beat Oregon.
3. Beat a team with Vince Young.
4. Went to the Rose Bowl.
5. Went to major bowl games.

How could this have happened? It’s quite possibly one of the greatest falls among BCS schools.

What makes it worse is that UW won a game today.

If we can’t beat SMU, it may be our turn to go winless for a whole season.

I love my Cougars, I just wish they’d give me more reasons to love them.

Please Coach Wulf, turn this thing around. No more letting teams jump out to 35-0 leads. No more giving up the ball 7 times in a game. No more letting opponents get over 500 yards from passing alone.

Please. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Concerned Cougar fans everywhere.
