To get a feel for the game through the eyes of Hawes, his tweets have been posted below:
For reference, a picture of the terrible leg tattoo on Washington kicker/punter Travis Coons had to be found.
Friday, the Huskies were embroiled in a battle, down 10-7 at halftime, they fought hard against the Cougars and the referees (according to Hawes). They got ahead in the second half before relinquishing the lead and losing by a field goal in overtime.
That would be a reference to an Ace Ventura: Pet Detective character. Ray Finkle was the fictional kicker who cost the Miami Dolphins the Super Bowl by missing a field goal kick. Finkle then went insane, was banished to an asylum, only to break out and…(let’s not ruin a great movie for those who haven’t seen it.
This reference is applicable because the Huskies kicker, Coons (pictured above), missed a 35-yard field goal at the end of regulation that would have given the Huskies the win.
Better luck next year Huskies.
