Locker’s season will mirror UW’s fallen mascot

According to a press release by the University of Washington, the team’s canine mascot Spirit suffered a shoulder injury that will keep the Alaskan Malamute sidelined indefinitely.

If the Huskies continue to play like they did against the University of Nike, you could expect quarterback Jake Locker to suffer the same fate. The good news is the sports information department will be able to use Spirit’s press release as a template.

Here’s how it’ll go:
