Friday was an interesting day for the Husky football team.

Anyone who attended can tell you the coaches and players were full of enthusiasm and optimism for the upcoming season.

The final order of business for the evening was to name the 2009 team captains. Here's a quick rundown on that from the Tacoma News-Tribune's Todd Milles.
