College Football 2009 Washington Huskies Predictions - 2010 BCS Odds

Washington Huskies 2009 College Football Predictions - 2010 BCS Odds: Sometimes when things get so bad it's best to blow it up and start all over again. After losing every football game (0-12) and finishing last in the PAC-10 (0-9), that's exactly what the University of Washington Huskies football program is doing. In 2009, Washington has a new head coach, former USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, and with him a new system, new offense and new defense. About the only thing not new will be old players, other than a small handful of freshman who might crack the depth chart.

While the Huskies program could use a talent upgrade, they do have some nucleus to build around led by the return of junior quarterback Jake Locker. The new offense will be pro-style, similar to what is run at USC. Of course it will be designed around Lockers special talents. The offense should improve greatly under Sarkisian's direction, especially with all but three starters returning from a year ago.

When Sarkisian accepted the job at Washington, he picked USC Coach Pete Carroll’s pocket by coaxing Trojan's defensive coordinator Nick Holt to join him coaching the Huskies. Holt was given the title Assistant Head Coach to go along with Defensive Coordinator duties. At Washington, Holt will employ a 4-3 defense. The Huskies defense should be much better in 2009 as Holt welcomes 10 returning starters from the 2008 campaign.

"Washington will win some football games this year under Sarkisian," said Online Sports Handicapping resident handicapper Reno Gold. "We don't expect them to win the PAC-10 and qualifying for a bowl will be a stretch but Husky’s fans will see improvement."
The Huskies get an early test in their schedule when they open with SEC power LSU at Husky Stadium in Seattle on Sept. 5. This game will be a good measuring stick on any early affect made on the team by the new regime. The Idaho Vandals of the WAC visit Seattle for the season's second game on Sept. 12. It is against Idaho the Huskies get their first win. Unfortunately, there will not be many wins after Idaho but who knows; in college football anything can happen.

Kerala boat tragedy: Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water

THEKKADY / KOCHI: A thick veil of grief descended on the famed tourist spot of Thekkady on Wednesday when Kerala witnessed its worst ever boat tragedy in the Mullaperiyar waters as the KTDC’s Jalakanyaka, carrying about 76 passengers, sank. Thirty five bodies have been fished out of the water. Any hope of finding more tourists alive faded with the daylight even as rescue personnel continued their desperate search. The two-deck boat, commissioned just a month back, was returning to the boat landing after an hour-long sight-seeing trip when tragedy struck. All the passengers on the upper deck apparently rushed to one side of the boat to take photos of a lone bison spotted on the shore. At the same time many from the lower deck flocked to the top leaving the lower almost empty. This movement and the uneven distribution of weight caused the boat to overbalance and turn turtle. Those remaining on the lower deck were trapped inside while about 20 on the upper deck were rescued by other boa

Special Status For Jammu & Kashmir Scraped: 5 Points About Article 370

Jammu & Kashmir will also be "reorganized," Home Minister Amit Shah said as talks about the state being trifurcated into three separate fields- Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh NEW DELHI: Article 370, which gives Jammu & Kashmir unique status, will be withdrawn this morning in parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah said . The announcement came after his cabinet meeting at his house this morning was held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi . Article 370 is a ' temporary provision ' granting special autonomous status to Jammu & Kashmir . It allows the state to draft its own Constitution and restricts the legislative powers of the parliament over the state. The government therefore requires state government approval for all legislation, except those related to defence, foreign affairs, finance, and communications. Parliament can not also improve or decrease the boundaries of the State under Article 370 As a consequence, citizens of Jammu & Kashmir

Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta Movie Review: Tiring and Unsatisfying

Movie Rating: 3/5 First of all things! The director's weakest film is the long delayed Enai Noki Paayum Thotta by Gautham Menon . The film's main weakness is the director's fascination with narrative style voice-over. It was good before Gautham used voice-over as a medium to tell his stories, but every scene in Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta begins and ends with Dhanush's voice-over, which irritates us after a point. The film is filled with tired stereotypes, and at a runtime of 157 minutes it is an unsatisfying watch. Like any other movie from Gautham Menon, here too hero Raghu (Dhanush) is a student of engineering, but this time his wife is not a student, but a film heroine Lekha ( Mega Akash ).She tells him she is not interested in movies and her boss Kuberan (Senthil Veeraswamy) coerced her into the profession for money (it looks like the girl is an orphan and Kuberan supported her studies and is her guardian). Raghu takes her to his Pollachi house and introduc
