Nice knowin' ya, Ty.So you thought you'd seen the worst pass. Surely UW had to be headed toward some sort of rebound, with a embarrassing record of 0-6 and a big game - if a winless team can have one - against Notre Dame. Maybe they wouldn't win, but it had to be close, right? It would be a game for the UW football team to gain an iota of respect, putting them at exactly one iota.
By the third quarter, with the Huskies trailing 24-o and with under 50 total yards of offense, that goal had flew out the window. All there was left was to try and avoid getting completely humiliated. But the Huskies, a team in decline faster than the stock market, couldn't manage that either. On 4th and 13, and Notre Dame with the ball in their own friggin territory, head coach Charlie Weis decided to stab a knife into the UW gut. More like a pin into the UW pincushion, actually, since there have been several already stabbed in.
Weis called for the fake punt, and after it went for 30 something yards - inevitable, really - UW bowed their heads in shame yet again. They had been handed the ultimate disrespect, and they took it. It was the crap cherry on the crap ice cream sundae of a season.
Here's a catchy slogan. UW football '08: There Is No Floor.
