UW will hold its annual picture day from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Saturday at Husky Stadium. Visitors can walk on the field and meet and take pictures with players and coaches.

The event is free, and free hot dogs, soft drinks and fan items such as yard signs and pocket schedules will be available while supplies last.

“I think it’s always a fun day for the community to have a chance to get out and see the new team,” Willingham said. “And I think our attendance the last couple of years has really been impressive. It should be a fun day for the fans and for our players.”

Here are the details from Gohuskies.com.

The Huskies have decided to stick with the swoosh, agreeing to a 10-year, $35 million deal with Nike.

That figure -- which includes actual cash and product -- is nearly three times the value of UW's exisiting uniform contact, also with Nike.

And since Nike is the current uniform provider, this contract doesn't mean that the Huskies will necessarily have any uniform changes anytime soon ... and they certainly won't look Duck-like unless they want to. Woodward said the school decides its look and the uniform provider complies, not the other way around.

Speaking of Oregon ... Woodward also had an answer for those UW fans who fear that supporting Nike is an indirect way of supporting the Ducks through Phil Knight: "Last I saw, Oregon fans and citizens of the state of Oregon are flying Boeing airplanes, they shop at Costco and they use Microsoft Windows."

Finally, since Nike is the company that brought the "weasel" logo to Montlake, Woodward pointed out that it has almost been phased out in favor of the block "W." The decision on giving Nike another shot at another logo hasn't been made.

I'll be back on with Dave "The Groz" Grosby on KJR radio, 950-AM, at 5:05 p.m. today, talking about the Jake Locker hamstring injury (see post below) and the start of UW fall football camp.

The conversation also will be streamed over the Internet.

Jake Locker suffered what is being called a left hamstring strain during practice on Thursday. Coach Tyrone Willingham said his status is day-to-day while awaiting results from an MRI.

Locker said he hurt himself without contact while rolling out on a passing play. He immediately left practice, and redshirt freshman Ronnie Fouch took over for the remainder of practice.

Willingham said he had no reason to beleive that Locker's availablity for the opener Aug. 30 at Eugene should be endangered. Locker also seemed to believe he would be out for a relatively short time.

WILLINGHAM:
Yes, he did sustain an injury. It was a hamstring strain. The degreee we do not know. We’re monitoring as we go. Our thought process is to just be very cautious and just move forward day to day.

LOCKER:
I kept on a read zone right around the outside and went to turn up and just couldn’t do what I nomally did. It’s just a little bit sore. … I didn’t go down, I just did a little hop and skip and they came to check me out and put a little ice on it.

UW quarterback Jake Locker tweaked a hamstring at practice on Thursday, according to KJR reports. Early indications are that this is something that will keep him out for days, not weeks.

However, we might hear directly from Locker late this morning and are scheduled to hear from coach Tyrone Willingham today at noon.

Naturally, I'll click back in as soon as possible after that.
