Washington-Idaho Ties: Obviously, there are numerous ties between the Washington and Idaho foot- ball programs. The top connection is that current Husky head man Keith Gilbertson spent a total of five seasons in Moscow, two (1982 and 1985) as offensive coordinator and three more (1986-88) as head coach. Additionally, Husky Tim Hundley coached three seasons at Idaho (1977- 79), serving as defensive coordinator in the last of those three years. Husky offensive line coach Dan Cozzetto played at Idaho (1976-78) and then coached there for a total of 11 seasons (1979- 89), a stint that saw him work on staffs with (and under) Gilbertson and over and alongside Idaho head coach Tom Cable. Cable was a senior offensive lineman at Idaho when Gilbertson was offensive coordinator and then served two years under Gilbertson as a graduate assistant in 1987 and 1988. Cable was also the offensive line coach at California when Gilbertson was the Bears’ head coach. Idaho offensive coordinator Bret Ingalls graduated from Snohomish (Wash.) High School, the same school as Gilbertson and where Gilbertson’s father coached. Receivers coach Tarn Sublett is a former UW quar- terback and was a graduate assistant at Washington in 2000, coaching the Husky receivers. Idaho’s preseason roster included 21 players from the state of Washington.

These three tenets always have been at the heart of the University of Idaho’s mission. Today, perhaps more than Tever, administrators and faculty are succeeding at maintaining these stan- dards. Nearly every facet of daily life in Idaho is somehow impacted by University outreach programs. Life is never dull at the UI, and an enthusiastic movement for the humanities is sweeping across an already artistic campus. Standout alumni excelling in all professional fields are reminding the world that “from here, you can go anywhere.” Today more than 11,000 students are enrolled at UI. Kiplinger’s Magazine consistently places Idaho on its list of the top-100 public universities, this year ranking 69th out of nearly 600 public colleges, and becoming one of only four western schools to make the list. The University of Idaho consistently receives high marks from U.S. News and World Report, and the Carnegie Foundation lists UI as one of the top 152 research institutions in the country. Idaho’s ranking as one of the “most wired” universities by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine is becoming routine, with the UI placing third this year among public schools in the West. When the ground for Idaho’s first university originally was purchased, the Moscow Mirror boasted about the natural beauty of the campus setting: “Probably no more sightly location could be found in Idaho. The location commands a perfect view of Paradise Valley and the spur of mountains beyond.” In addition to the majestic surroundings, the UI campus is adorned with buildings with their own individual appeal. Historic War Memorial Gymnasium is protected by its gridiron gargoyles. The elegant Administration Building reflects a collegiate Gothic style. A watchful clock tower and extraor- dinary library are at the center of campus.

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. Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work. About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are state school graduating classes.

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.
