Washington's leading tackler Savannah academically ineligible
Associated Press

SEATTLE -- The Washington football team's leading tackler E.J. Savannah is academically ineligible.

He's not on the Huskies' roster Monday as they begin fall camp in Seattle, although he could be added later.

The linebacker led the team with 111 tackles last season and was Washington's defensive player of the year.

Savannah broke his arm in the offseason in a non-football related incident, but the team expected him to be ready for the start of the season.

Sad deal, young guys can sure make poor decisions at that age

Being STUPID is more of a lifestyle than a decision. I say that with great confidence.. being a STUPID person myself.

yeaa it not easy being stupid

Hated reading this, first JR Hasty, now EJ. What a waste.

Cougs may have a chance beating the pups for the 4th time in 5 years...Huh, Don't hear that very often.

GO COUGS!

Mf

So certain schools can do something with dumb people and others can't?

Could be worse. At least I didn't wake up this morning as an ASU fan.

Always a great day to be a HUSKY!

Zzzzzing!!

Enough said.........

I have to listen to your bullsh!t?

That's it, bet's off.

Kitties and Puppy's.....

ah i had to get it started, i was a little dissapointed we were only picked 2nd in pac 10 and 15th ranked in the nation...just have to prove it on the field i guess...cheers

HUSKIES!!!! Bah!
Who cares, GO COUGS!!!!

Keep your tails up Dogs! I remember when we Ducks got our asses handed to us every year. I hated the drive back north getting the razz from every Husky passing by.

Your day is coming. It always does. In the meantime, suck it up! I just hope that new replay screen in Autzen doesn't distract the boys too much. They'll be so busy trying to watch the reruns they'll run out of time.

As far as the roids go, they were worse in the 80s than they are now. Just look at some of those puffed up pusses in the old pictures.

Yeah man...................................huck the fuskies!!!!!!

Any road to glory leads through USC, and unless Pete Carrol has a stroke, the rest of the Pac-10 will always be huffing fumes - these fumes!

'Cooger' attire = diapers.

Jake be da man!!! Huskies are back!!!

The cougs are gonna stuff Jake in his own Locker.

toilet bowl or salad bowl either one works as the new title of the Apple Cup this year...cheers

Hasty attended Bellevue and I do believe Savannah did to. They got a head start in a college type program where it seems they got treated like kings and learned their arrogant selfish behavior that they might have gotten away with in high school but it is coming back to bite them. Just an opinion from the peanut gallery. Too many high school programs are getting wayyy out of control, but if you want to win now a days, unfortunately for the kids that's the way it's going.

Seems that a lot of these Bellevue kids are striking out. First it was Dicks. Then Hasty. Now Savannah. I read that Rosenberg is looking pretty good in Pullman. How is Schilling doing at Michigan? Looks like they also got a guy named Lopez on their roster. I wonder if all these Bellevue kids are overated since they run the Wing-T and beat up on some good Cali teams like Long Beach Poly and De La Salle.

I don't know that being the leading tackler on a poor defense is that great.

Better put Locker in at LB.

Overrated I don't think so...5 3A State Champions in 6 years. At one time ranked #6 in the nation. These Kids were disciplined under Steve Gervis system.

TY's day's in Seattle are numbered.

Mf

1 of those happened with a 20 year old DE Can you say "Men against Boys"




So true brother

Locker could play LB, and he'd knock the f*ck out of people.

Savannah is a dope. Any school will go to great lengths to make sure guys without too much in their noggins get tutoring, study time and enrollment in various majors that don't require too many graduation requirements so scholarship athletes can remain eligible. You have to be real lazy and lacking something upstairs to lose your eligibility.

He may play LB, if he continues over throwing his reciever's.

Ty's easter eggs are in Lockers shorts...

Mf

I'm sure Ty knows that his ass depends on Locker learning how to throw a good pass. If he starts throwing good passes, game's over for the likes of WSU, SU, OSU......and UW will be taken seriously by every team on their schedule.

If he throws like he did last season, defenses will key on him, and he'll take a beating...........and games will slip away and Ty will be packing his bags.

If that kid learns to pass, he'll be Heisman material.

MF, Gervais coached at Skyline not Bellevue and is now a Husky assistant. Butch Goncharoff is the Bellevue coach. My point was that the wing-T offense can be successful without the greatest athletes. I don't see the wing-T being used much in the NCAA however.

Maybe Gervais is going to institute the wing-T at UW with Locker.

Anyway it's ashame when a guy with talent like EJ who graduated with a 3.0 from HS and had a 1000 SAT can't succeed academically. What is the minimum gpa to get into UW anyway? Used to be 3.2 way back when. Did the UW lower their standards or do they accept so many athletes that are lacking the gpa? Shoot Doba got run out of Pullman taking academic risks. I agree with what Jim Moore said today about liking Locker and Ty.

Dan-

I noticed you had the good sense to leave USC off that list of yours.

That comes later Mike.

I don't want to bite off more than Jake can chew just yet.

Locker has a future as an NFL RB or possibly as a safety or more likely will end up playing Pro Baseball...as a QB hes not going to cut it as you can clearly see the results of him growing up in an option style running attack...he is scary good when he gets in the open field though...cheers

Steelheadman thanks. I stand corrected I ment to say Butch Goncharoff...I hadn't heard of Steve Gervis leaving SL for UW.

I'm not sure if that was a smart decision. Time will tell.

Mf

At least Locker pulled a hamstring in yesterday's practice. "Strain" as the coach is calling until the MRI's come back this afternoon.

Super.

That's all the UW needed.
