I was born and raised in Washington State and currently reside near Austin Texas.  I have and always will root for Seattle Sports teams.  This year has been a terribly tough year for Seattle Sports to say the least.  First the Supersonics move to Oklahoma City of all places and no more basketball team. The Seattle Mariners were a preseason favorite to do well in AL but were terrible. The Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren last year is this year and he probably wishes he was in retirement already.  The Seahawks have had injury to basically every starter on their team.  UW football is terrible and lost their star quarterback get terrible calls against when they actually may win a game ex: BYU game.  Well I will quit my ranting and get to the point their is one bright spot in all this.  The University of Washington women cross country is ranked number 1.  I hope they can keep the light burning for goodness sakes all of Seattle.
