UW Athletics just announced that they’ll retire Brandon Roy’s #3 before the USC game on January 22nd. And wouldn’t ya know that’s one of the games in my season ticket package that I let a friend by. WHY WASN’T I CONSULTED ABOUT THIS????

Well, big ups to Roy and to the UW for recognizing him in this way. The only other Husky hoopster to have his number retired is Bob Houbregs (#35), who led the Dawgs to the 1953 Final Four.

Sez Roy: “January 22nd will be a very special day for me and my family and I look forward to sharing it with all of the great UW fans.”
