The University of Washington holds its spring graduation ceremony tomorrow and the school says there are 18 current and former players who "have earned their degrees.'' I phrase it that way as the school says it's not sure which of these players will actually participate tomorrow. But all are eligible to walk if they wish, and undoubtedly some/most will. Included are two of the most prominent QBs in school history ... Here's the list: ... Tony Chidiac ... Gregory Christine ... Joshua Gage ...

As Sarkisian noted, expansion is out of the hands of coaches, anyway, and they all have to do

Storm CEO Karen Bryant attended and loved the venue, but was slow to say it would happen in the Emerald City any time soon. It has been discussed, but the Storm would have to wait until after July 4, when Seattle typically doesn't get rain, and then find a venue to hold the game. The area doesn't have many outdoor tennis courts and there isn't a soccer/tennis complex like the LA

This was the kind of spring day seems like we've been waiting for all year, and more than 31,000 Mariner fans piled into Safeco Field hoping for a good day of baseball ... For about five innings, they got it. Then the bullpen imploded, giving up seven of the team's season-high 10 walks, and it all came apart in an 11-2 loss ... I detailed the nuts and bolts of it in the game story here, which includes the post-game admission of Mariner manager Don Wakamatsu that it was an embarassing
