We live tonight.

Most big-time college football programs have one or more serious blogs frequented by people with serious knowledge of offensive and defensive schemes, techniques, recruiting, strength & conditioning, NCAA compliance, etc.  On these blogs you will find in-depth analysis of your team far superior to anything you could hope to find in a newspaper or on a mainstream website (except maybe for the occasional Dr. Saturday article on Rivals that mentions your team, or if Bob Davie happens to chart your defensive scheme on ESPN.com).  College football enthusiasts who frequent these blogs scorn the ignorant fans who think they can offer intelligent opinions on the game based on the nonsense spewed in pre-game shows and post-game press conferences.  I hate to sound like a dick saying that, but it's true.  If you don't believe me, go spend 30 minutes surfing mgoblog.com or smartfootball.com.  The lightbulb will go on, I promise.

The Washington Huskies, despite having an accomplished football tradition and being a program currently on-the-rise behind a talented young head coach--and despite being located in one of America's great tech centers--surprisingly have no such deep-analysis blog to speak of.  Now, I could wait around and undoubtedly before long somebody would launch such a blog.  But, being from the DIY-punk rock generation, I figure it's better I start that shit myself.  So, here it is.  Washington Football Analysis.  Let's get started.
