That's a very interesting article. I think it is perceptive to describe Strickland as somebody eager to take chances on making big plays, even if it risks giving away some points along the way. And not just at the service line, either.

Maryland is going to get rolled.... I'm going to try and pick up a copy of the school newspaper today and see if there is an article about the match. GO UW!

Ok, we have 4 threads going on this weekend's matches. Which one is the actual match thread?

Lot of diehard UW fans, lots of excitement. Wish I could be there. Have to wait for Washington to travel to Cal in a week.
