Braden Huff goes down for 4-8 weeks and the Cougars prowled and Redhawks circled, but the Bulldogs turned them away, with sheer chaotic energy and boundless talent, the Zags showed that it will take more than bad luck to unmoor their excellence.  Also, we're gonna bamboozle the Waves and the Dons, because they're not very good. Stick around until the end to hear about a time so long ago that Peppe...

Gonzaga barely escaped the firece talons (beak? whatever) of the Redhawks of Seattle University, then proceeded to float merrily into their home tilt against the Lions of LMU. Much like the lion tamers of old, the Zags gently placed their head into the Lions' mouth, giving it the false sense of power, before pulling back and unloading their blunderbuss into the beasts heart. Too much metaphor? May...

We're all struggling here a bit at  Free Ira Brown. The sting of the UM blowout weighs heavily on our hearts, even and we enjoy another lovely holiday season.
