Former Husky homer Ted Miller has posted a Pac-10 Basketball roundup at ESPN.com, in which he speculates that Lorenzo Romar may be on the Hot Seat.

 "Two consecutive mediocre seasons (which ended with the Huskies failing to earn NCAA tournament berths) and losing seven straight to rival Washington State have left a small but growing minority of fans wondering whether the magic is gone."

 The magic?  Yeah, Ted, I'd say it's gone.  I'd say it's been gone for a while.  In fact, if this team was running on magic, it probably left the day that the team magicians left.  Remember this?

The Fuskies are looking for a shrink. They're going to need it to help them cope with all the losing this season.

In the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction dept, the Huskies have acutally received a vote in the preseason polls. Serioulsy-- this is not one of our fake news articles. Some ACC reporter is behind the travesty, becuause he believes that "they were better than their 4-9 record last season," but recognizes he's out on a limb:

"I'm the only voter in the AP or USA Today polls who thinks the Huskies will be worth more than a wooden nickel."

So what kind of a deuchebag would vote for the Huskies in 2008? Only the same deuchebag that was the last AP voter to have them on the ballots last season.

Thinking the guy must be on crack? Well... he might be: after all, this is the guy we're talking about here:

...Yeah. Looks something like Lou Farigno after a night of coking it up with Mick Fleetwood at Studio 54.

Read for yourself what Mr Giglio has to say for himself.
