The effort to immortalize the great Dawgfather is happening in the only fashion Don James would ever have approved of.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh. When a son gives to his father, both cry.
On the surface, it seems obvious. Why shouldn't Husky Stadium be ordained with a tributary offering to the shrine of the Dawgfather? Hasn't the time come to immortalize the great Don James with his own statue? James is, after all, widely viewed as the brightest star in the broad constellation of University of Washington athletics.
Despite this fact, it is the face of James's predecessor, Jim Owens, who faithful Husky fans pass by when they venture out to Husky Stadium to take in a football game.
