Washington-USC Ties: For a pair of Pac-10 teams, there’s very little past relationship between the members of the coaching staffs at Washington and USC. Trojan running backs coach Kennedy Pola worked along with Husky assistants Chuck Heater and Tim Hundley at Colorado, with Hundley earlier at UCLA, and was initially announced as a member of Rick Neuheisel’s first coaching staff at UW before going to USC instead. ‘SC secondary coach Greg Burns saw plenty of the Huskies as a four-year letterman (1991-93, 1995) at Washington State, but that’s pretty much it as far as crossover between the two staffs. USC’s media guide roster lists only two players from the state of Washington: senior punter Tommy Huff (Bellevue) and sophomore fullback David Kirtman (Mercer Island). USC also has a number of players from Long Beach Poly High, alma mater of Husky cornerback Kim Taylor. Trojan safety Chris Bocage attended St. Louis High in Hawaii, same as Washington’s Wilson Afoa and Joe Lobendahn. Washington’s roster lists 28 players from the state of California, most of which come from the southern part of the state.

HUSKIES Gameday 5 HUSKY PROFILE / MARQUIS COOPER

by Lucas James Mack

arquis Cooper is the picture of calm — his body still in anticipation of the flurry of action to come, his eyes fixated on his catch as he sets his lure. “I love to fish,” says the senior linebacker. “I taught myself how to do it when I was really young and I would go out with my friends to lakes or ponds and fish all day long.” As Cooper grew, so did his love for fishing. When his father, Bruce — a long time sportscaster in Arizona — introduced his son to football, Cooper immediately latched on to the similarities between the two sports, both of which value patience, focus, and a willingness to practice. On a football field, much like in the wild, there are those who catch, and those who are caught. Cooper knew right where he belonged, lining up on defense with the goal of reeling in opponents. The older he gets, however, the smarter the prey he tracks Marquis Cooper becomes. To that end, Cooper has been forced to adapt, hitting the weight room this summer to add more bulk to his 6- foot-4, 215-pound frame. “I worked out everyday this summer,” says Cooper. “I would work out in the morning and then go to class and then work out again after class. I had a real busy sched- ule.” With a father whose job it was to analyze games, the brains and brawn of football have always gone hand-in- “It was really hard leaving Arizona, because that was hand for Cooper, who at a young age developed an in- Cooper earned All-Pac-10 my life I was leaving behind,” Cooper says. “At the air- depth knowledge of football’s intellectual side. honorable mention in port, all my friends were crying and I was so sad to “I started playing Pop Warner in 1986, when I was 2002 while leading the leave.

10 HUSKIES Gameday Continued from page 6 in camp, impressing the Husky coaches with his knowledge of the game, honed by years of studying at his father’s knee. As the reserve to Jeremiah Pharms at outside linebacker, Cooper made seven tackles, though his biggest play came on special teams. Having punted five times, fumbled twice and missed a field goal, Washington found itself trailing Arizona State in the second quarter, 6-0, in a midseason game in Tempe. Their Rose Bowl hopes slipping away, the Huskies needed a big play. Running on adrenaline and feeding off the energy of the dozens of fam- ily and friends in the stands to cheer the Husky freshman in his return home, Cooper launched himself in front of a punt by Nick Murphy. Awakened by Cooper’s block, the Huskies went on the scoreboard with a touchdown seconds later, taking a lead they would not relinquish. “Blocking that punt was the best thing that ever happened to me,” says Cooper. “I was kind of nervous going into that game, but getting that block made me so happy it made my year. All my family and friends were there cheering for me. It was great!” Cooper totaled 34 tackles as a reserve in 2001 before exploding for 100 last season, in the process becoming Washington’s first triple-digit tackler since Lawyer Milloy in 1995. Having moved to inside linebacker, Cooper anchored a Husky run defense that allowed just 97.7 yards per game, 11th-best in the nation in 2002. Now a senior, Cooper has assumed a position of leadership among linebackers, seeking to provide the same welcoming, encouraging nature with which Kelley greeted him in 2000. Cooper’s leadership does not end in the locker room, however, as he led the team with 37 tackles through five games, including four for-loss. Whatever stats he may accumulate, there’s one lesson he tries to impress upon incoming players — nothing in his career that he has ever experienced can top the roar of 90,000 fans rising to their feet to cheer Bruce Cooper, a sportscaster at KPNX in Phoenix, taught his son the Huskies in the Rose Bowl. the intricacies of football when Marquis was still a child. “One of the main things that drives me is I want to try and get into the Rose Bowl again and get that ring on my finger,” Cooper says. “I’m hoping payoff of the big catch, or the big hit, and hitting is what Cooper knows that we can get there again. It was one of the best feelings I’ve ever felt to best. win that game.” Friendly and generous off the field, Cooper is a different animal once Like a day spent on a lake awaiting a bite, the road has been long for placed between the sidelines, where making tackles is like shooting fish in Cooper. However, the hours of practice and patience are worth it, for the a barrel. The senior has set his bait, and his opponents are easy prey.

In 2002, Cooper and Ben Mahdavi each earned 100 tackles, becoming UW’s first 100-tackle tandem since 1989. 8 HUSKIES Gameday WHEN THE HUSKIES HAVE THE BALL

During his 17-year career at Washington, Owens coached the Huskies to 99 wins, including a 2-1 record in Rose Bowls. “He started in ’57 and … totally turned the program around,” Redman says. “His coaching style and two Rose Bowl victories put Washington back on the football scene. He totally changed the West Coast football expectations of excellence.” Don McKeta, who played for Owens in Washington’s first-ever Rose Bowl victory, in Owens led Washington to its first-ever 1960, agrees: “His leadership qualities, his pas- Rose Bowl win in 1960, defeating sion for the players, his never-quit attitude — Wisconsin, 44-8. there are just tremendous qualities about the man something before somebody dies.

30 HUSKIES Gameday Having learned the game first as a player at Oklahoma, and later as an assistant to Paul “Bear” Bryant at Kentucky and Texas A&M, Jim Owens arrived at Washington in 1957 ready to revive a program that had been to just five bowl games in its first 68 years. In 1959, Owens led Washington to 10 wins - its most since 1925 - and its first- ever Rose Bowl win, a 44-8 romp over Wisconsin. After another 10-1 season and a Rose Bowl win in 1961, and a third Rose Bowl appearance, in 1964, there was little doubt across the nation that Husky football was back to stay. In 18 years as Washington’s coach, Owens totaled 99 wins, won three AAWU titles and guided the Huskies to a pair of Rose Bowl titles, earning him induction into the Husky Hall of Fame in the inaugural class of 1979.

by Jordan Roy-Byrne

any college athletes who dream of a future in the pros do so with visions of fame and fortune, dollar signs dancing before their eyes. Such is not the case for Washington offensive tackle Francisco Tipoti. Surprisingly humble and soft-spoken, given his 6-foot-5, 325-pound frame, Tipoti is motivated not by money, but by a desire to finish the path his father began a quarter century ago, before injuries robbed him of his dream. “Growing up, I felt that he set a path for me, and I have had a dream of following his footsteps and completing his dream,” says Tipoti, a native of Honolulu. “Playing for Hawaii his junior year, he broke his shoulder, hip and knee. His NFL dreams were shattered right then and there.” Despite his size and talent, the younger Tipoti’s career has been similar- ly frought with challenges, both on and off the field. As a child living with epilepsy, it appeared unlikely that Tipoti would ever play football, much less live out his father’s dream of a professional career. The neurological disorder causes a temporary change in the way brain cells work, and sufferers can be prone to frequent seizures. During a seizure, the person may black out or experience a number of unusual sen- sations or movements. Seizures usually last a matter of seconds or minutes, after which the brain cells return to normal. Seizures can be especially problematic for ath- letes, whose larger and stronger muscles can create movements and sensations during seizures that are significantly more painful than those of a non-ath- lete. “It all started when I was just being a rough- neck little kid. Running around, I fell on my head once and that’s how it happened,” Tipoti recalls. “The doctors didn’t clear me to play until my fresh- Francisco Tipoti man of year high school.” Once able to participate in team sports, Tipoti gravitated straight to foot- ball. Already behind in his quest to live out his father’s dream, he knew that he would have to work twice as hard to catch up. After attracting attention from several schools, Tipoti signed with then-Colorado head coach Rick Neuheisel in 1998. His single-minded focus on a football career, however, had taken a toll academically, and Tipoti found himself ineligible to enroll Tipoti hopes to live out the NFL dream of his father, whose career at Colorado. at Hawaii was cut short by injury. Ironically, Tipoti landed at the City College of San Francisco, the same reestablished himself during spring practice, losing nearly 30 pounds while school at which his father had played for two seasons before transferring to opening eyes with his impressive performances.

Fate, however, had a different destiny in mind. As he struggled to “I just plan on competing really hard and competing for a starting job adjust to the Division-I game, Tipoti’s weight ballooned to 355 pounds, and eventually,” Tipoti says. “If I keep my focus I feel I will see more time.” he fell off the depth chart at offensive tackle. Despite his struggles, Tipoti continues to compete. He doesn’t complain, “I had a real lazy season, Tipoti admits, “but Coach Cozzetto really woke nor does he wonder how things might have gone differently. me up this last spring. He has taught me how tough this game is.” Make the pros or not — he has made his father proud, and that is all Determined not to let his family dream die, Tipoti worked hard and that truly matters. 42 HUSKIES Gameday THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON A Proud Tradition of Academic Excellence

ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its Fresearch, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con- tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni- versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys- tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro- fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich- ment. Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information The magnificent architecture of the Washington campus is replete School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, with fountains, flowers and greenery.

With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well- educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703 acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics loom to the west, while the western view includes downtown Seattle and Lake Union.

anka Danicic smiles. More lies behind that smile than is revealed — her upbringing in war-torn Yugoslavia, endless hours of travel that kept her away from her family, and her decision to leave behind the world she knew for an opportunity at success in the United States. The smile, however, is genuine, for Danicic has overcome much to be where she is today, suiting up for the nationally-ranked UW volleyball squad. A native of Ljig, Yugoslavia, Danicic (pronounced “DON-ih-chich”) did not have many sporting options as a child. “Where I come from, the only sports girls are able to play are soccer, volleyball and chess, she says. “I chose volleyball and have been playing it ever since.” Danicic played throughout her years in school and continued her career by joining local club teams. One day, she received a phone call that changed her life. “I found out that my friend had told the UW that I would be interested in playing volleyball for them,” she says. “Then the Washington coaches con- tacted me and asked if I wanted to be on their team. I was very excited.” The decision to leave home and venture to Seattle was not a difficult one. “Playing club volleyball in Yugoslavia kept me away from my family for long amounts of time, so I was used to that,” she says. “It was still hard, though, because the U.S. is so much farther away, but it was such a good opportunity. When I told my parents about how serious I was about coming here, they were very supportive. I was excited to come.” Upon arriving in Seattle in the fall of 2001, Danicic was awestruck by the college environment, for both athletics and academics. “I had no idea that college volleyball was such a big deal,” she says. “I never thought it would be as serious or as huge as it is. Sometimes, I wish we had more people come and watch our games, but there is still so much support for the team. It is amazing to see it and be a part of it.” Danka Danicic Living in a new country and without a com- mand of the English language, Danicic became accustomed to frequent miscommunications. One such misunderstanding Danicic left behind all she knew in Yugoslavia for a chance at led to a broken nose for Danicic, when she and teammate Paige Benjamin success in the U.S. collided during a match in Hawaii. Well into her sophomore season, Danicic has become comfortable in the “It was all a big accident,” she says. “I was lucky that my nose didn’t Huskies’ system, developing her techniques and proving her dedication to bleed, but it was so crooked.

Fortunately for Danicic, she had help in the transition, in the form of “Danka is a tremendous defensive player and has a good feel for the teammate Sanja Tomasevic.
