I know it’s easy to be proud of the Dawgs who make the game-winning plays in the biggest games or have the NFL or NBA careers, but trust me when I say, #HuskyNation… we just lost one of the finest we’ve ever had. My friend @pjgreen was one of those rare friends who deserved the tag “hero.” A walk-on on the ‘91 national championship team and a successful professional and family man, Phil was diagnosed with ALS seven years ago, and I’m telling you… I’ve never met anyone in my entire life who was as devoted to anything as Phil was to advocating for people with ALS. You just don’t know what I mean when I say he was “inspirational” unless you knew him. From the moment I met him shortly after his diagnosis, it was game on. He started the ALS Apple Cup Challenge, he was behind the start of Lou Gehrig Day in MLB, he lobbied in DC, he met with Tim Cook at Apple, he was a part of countless fundraisers, he researched to the level of expertise, he had an award named after him and he became a giant in the ALS community. Rest in peace, my friend. I know you and your family suffered so, so much, but through that suffering you touched my life and countless others’ deeply, and I’m so thankful I got to know you. #NoWhiteFlags

@frankmSounders I feel the need to correct the record. Our Microstandard squad took the over 30 national title in '99 in St. Louis with a roster that included Bill Crook, Craig Beeson, Daryl Green, Tote and Tai Yamada, Mike Perrin, and John Purtteman.

#OTD 2004 – John Hall scores twice and Erik Storkson adds G+2A as Hibernian Saints win over-30 national title, 3-1 over Chicago United in Orlando. It's WA's 4th adult championship: Shear Power women's over-50; NW Connection women's over-40; Cascade Avalanche women's over-55s.

@Mitch_Seattle No reason for the dude to put his hands on Sark like he's a 6th grader. Sorry...I don't blame him for his reaction.

Wow. Trying to give Sark the benefit of the doubt here except I’m having trouble seeing much doubt. I understand revved up but… not the best look.

@hattrup_peter @frankmSounders Steve Clearman and Roy Wolf was backup keeper.

@shugs87 @frankmSounders Between Ken and J Klein, looks familiar but can’t come up with the name. Second keeper next to Mark

Can name at least 15 of those Soccer Dawgs. Then again, it helps being from Class of '82.

@hattrup_peter @frankmSounders What 2 are you missing?

@frankmSounders I’ve got 20 of the 22, helps that I had the misery of losing to them 3 times that year 🤣

@ErinMayovsky @frankmSounders @hattrup_peter @roger_levesque @SoundersFC @fox13seattle Did the Soccer Dawg show up the Falcon? Assumption being yes...

@frankmSounders @hattrup_peter @roger_levesque @SoundersFC @fox13seattle Was a chippy match! Went down to the wire! 4–4… then pk’s. #RaveGreen for the win… #Hendrix the better jerseys tho!

These guys! Looking good @hattrup_peter & @roger_levesque @SoundersFC @fox13seattle

@dannyoneil @ErinMayovsky Former UW Soccerdawg if I recall.

This pretty bad ass. Go @ErinMayovsky!

@frankmSounders Excellent soccer with fantastic talent throughout the league.

#OTD 1985 – FC Seattle City League kicks off inaugural season with men's and women's doubleheaders in Tacoma, Bellevue and Seattle. Most eye-catching scoreline: Federal Way women rocking Tacoma, 1-0, behind hat tricks from Suzanne Hall and Sandy Carter.

Cat's got nothin' on @Stefan24Frei twitter.com/TG22110/status…

@hattrup_peter @frankmSounders Yes, she's in the Dawgs HOF.

@frankmSounders Is she in the Husky HOF yet?

Tina's the 1st soccer representative, female or male, from any school, inducted into the Pac-12 Hall of Honor.

@hattrup_peter @sounderatheart @SNDRNVIA I had much higher expectations of him when he arrived. I dubbed him Mr. Turnover for good reason.

@sounderatheart @SNDRNVIA Nice to see a reasoned well thought out article, sadly it might be too logical for many 😀

Perhaps no current Sounders player is a bigger lightning-rod for debate than Kelyn Rowe. @SNDRNVIA thinks that is likely due to a misunderstanding of his role and utility. sounderatheart.com/2022/2/15/2293…

@frankmSounders And not yet elected into the Husky hall of fame! We'll try again in 2 years.

#OTD 1987 – Seventy-five seconds into Washington's 8-0 win over Seattle University, Craig Beeson scores to become Huskies' career and season scoring king. His 53 career goals surpasses Dan Vaughn (1974-77) and with 19 goals on the season he breaks Ken Garrett's 1973 mark.

@frankmSounders Criteria states that post college career is factor.

@shugs87 It's not clear whether the criteria is based on UW career or entirety. Most of the others in this 2021 class seems to be based primarily on the UW end.

Great to see Craig Waibel break thru that wall to UW HoF and become 1st msoc rep. That said, there are probably 6-10 more worthy of consideration. Ditto for wsoc, which so far only has Solo and Frimpong. And SPU HoF should be playing catch-up as well.
