to put up points to keep up with them.Another home game and the last game of the season could become an advantage for the Huskies. Again, if the Huskies only need one win it will be interesting to see how far Sarkisian can push them. At this point, after consecutive losses many Husky fans and others are probably writing off the bowl hopes for the team. It still is completely up in the air, and probably will hinge on the Oregon State game. Regardless, this season is always going to be a success, even without a bowl. For as bad as they looked last year, to talk of not going to a bowl as failure completely validates the first year of Sarkisian.. 21 /PRNewswire/ BUUUZ today announced the launchof BUUUZ , the world's first social web service to connect users withsimilar interests rather than existing friendships.
