On Monday morning, I’ll drive to the oral surgeon’s office, sit in a chair, have a needle stuck in my arm and fall asleep. When I wake up, I’ll have four fewer teeth. I don’t need them, of course. And if you think it’s a little weird that I’m having my wisdom teeth removed at the advanced age of 37, I won’t argue. The teeth aren’t bothering me, so it became easy to keep putting it off. My dentist has long recommended I get it done, though, mostly to avoid problems in the future.

Washington’s new multimedia rights (MMR) deal with Learfield will guarantee the school an average of nearly double its previous annual payout, and includes a revenue-sharing structure that could make the agreement even more lucrative if certain benchmarks are achieved.

When he arrived on campus for Friday’s spring game, Derek Colman-Brusa already knew he was going to be a Husky. Actually, the state’s top-ranked recruit had known for about a week. And so had Washington’s coach. “My mom kind of asked me, ‘how are you doing, honey?’” Colman-Brusa said of a conversation the weekend prior.

SEATTLE — Washington’s star tailback pulled his helmet off and jogged into a cartwheel before executing a celebratory backflip on Friday night. Jonah Coleman did this not to commemorate a victory or even a touchdown, but instead something he might never get to do again. He nailed a PAT in the second half of the Huskies’ annual spring football game.

Washington concludes its second spring under coach Jedd Fisch with Friday night’s “Dawgs After Dark” spring game at 6:30 p.m. (though I do feel obligated to note that the sun won’t set in Seattle until 8:24). The Huskies hold their 14th spring practice Wednesday afternoon. Friday’s game, Fisch told the Big Ten Network, will feature a three-quarter contest with the teams divided evenly. Winners get steaks, salmon and shrimp; losers get rice and beans. Corgis will be involved. Anyway.

SEATTLE — My guess is that precisely nobody reading this will ever be in the mood to reminisce about the football game Washington played against Arizona in 2007. If you remember it, you are likely wincing now. During a season in which the Huskies won only four games — yet retained coach Tyrone Willingham for a fourth year, to the chagrin of many — UW at least appeared to have the Wildcats beat, leading 41-26 in the fourth quarter of a game at Husky Stadium.

SEATTLE — For the second consecutive weekend, Washington’s Saturday practice was for scrimmaging. I counted something like 127 plays, give or take, with plenty of situational variety. Here’s what I saw, thought, felt, contemplated and emoted on a sunny day at Husky Stadium made frigid by our poor decision to sit on the shady side.
