Monday morning over the last few years has been reserved to looking back over the weekend and thinking about what could have been. You wake up and think about our beloved Huskies losing another game they could have and should have won, and then get hit below the belt by remembering that the next day, Sunday, the Seahawks would lose another close game. This has been the life of the Seattle sports fan for quite some time. But look at us now. Monday morning you woke up in your Husky pajamas, looked at your UW alarm clock and dried off in your Harry the Husky bath towel thinking, "We just beat a very good Oregon State team that was ranked #7 in the country!!! Who cares if the Hawks lost, they'll be alright because they are pretty darn good football team, too." You then walked over to your sink and picked up your toothbrush that has a UW logo on it, and while brushing came to this realization, "The Huskies are 4-4 after a really tough first 8 games, and things are looking pretty good from here. Might we sneak back into the Alamo Bowl despite losing three weeks in a row? Yes we can! Yes we can!" After eating breakfast you decide it just seems like one of those work days where a traditional tie is not going to do it, so you pull out that tie that is either purple with gold stripes, or the one that has the huge UW logo in the middle of it. Why are you wearing that today? Because we are proud of our team that played so well on Saturday and you want to show the world that you are a Husky fan, a proud Husky fan, and you are LOYAL to these dawgs.
At Cal is not going to be easy, and you never know what can happen in the Apple Cup, but we have to feel good about our chances of finishing the season 8-4 (6-3), which is exactly what the Husky Loyalist picked before the season started. Admittedly it isn't happening the way I predicted, but I'll take being 100% accurate thus far on the season's record two-thirds of the way through the season.
Take delight in this victory over what the BCS considered the seventh best team in the country and get ready to wake up next Monday with that same routine we just went over earlier in the post. It feels good, so why not relish in it.
Oh, and by the way, I started a little photoshop war with the official Oregon State twitter handle last week, I guess we win this one.

Go Dawgs!!!
