    The Dawgman Husky Hoops Pod is back to preview UC Davis and Nevada
    2024/11/04
    The Guys from the Dawgman Husky Hoops Pod, Jack McCauley, Noah Dickerson, and Jason Crandall, are back with another episode before The Danny Sprinkle era on Montlake tips off. Jack leads things off by getting a pulse from Jason and Noah on how the scrimmage vs Western Oregon and went and if there are any inclinations that what was shown last Tuesday, we can see throughout the season. After talking about the scrimmage, especially how they thought guys like Zoom Diallo, DJ Davis, and Great Osobor played, they transitioned to talking about a UC Davis team who's had back to back 20 win seasons. Noah and Jason talk about if there's any first game jitters for guys. Then Jack steers the conversation towards the Nevada game this weekend and why this is not only a critical matchup for the Huskies early on, but could look great come end of the season. After diving into their roster, Noah tells some stories on why it's tough to play at elevation as well as the importance of getting off to a good start on a road trip. Jason and Noah also share some of their memories as roommates together on the team. The guys then wrap up the pod with some "x" factors on who they think needs to have a good week in order for Washington to start 2-0 this season.

  • DawgmanRadio: Figuring out how UW won the 'Battle of Who Could Get Out of Their Own Way' over USC

    DawgmanRadio: Figuring out how UW won the 'Battle of Who Could Get Out of Their Own Way' over USC
    2024/11/03
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked post-game about the fact that Washington was able to defeat USC 26-21 after losing all the momentum they built up at halftime. How did they do it? How did they build a 20-7 lead going into intermission, give up 14 points to lose that lead, and then come back late and not only get the score to put them back ahead, but also had two red-zone stops by their defense - including one goal-line stand - to preserve their win and get them just one game closer to bowl eligibility? In short, it wasn't easy. But the home team used some timely USC turnovers and they also bowed up after it looked like Trojans Head Coach Lincoln Riley had finally gotten out of his own way and decided to use the run game to their advantage. He must have looked at Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti and his decision to ram the ball down UW's throat in the second half of their win over the Huskies and said hey! We can do that too. And at the same time, the Huskies went away from what gave them success in the first half, running for only 12 yards in the third quarter. And this was done despite some horrific special teams play that basically handed the Trojans their first two offensive possessions in UW territory. The guys talk about the ups and downs of the game, with UW jumping out to that 13-point halftime edge, how the Huskies lost their lead coming out of the locker room, and how they were able to get the lead back and keep it, including amazing defensive plays by Carson Bruener, Khmori House, and Lance Holtzclaw. Kim also offered up some of the key stats in the game, like USC QB Miller Moss's three interceptions, Jonah Coleman going for a season-high in carries with 23, and Washington losing the total offense edge for the first time all season. To finish up the podcast, Scott offers up a quick recruiting update and we also talk about the importance of the win over USC with two extremely daunting road games on the horizon, including next week at Penn State for their annual 'White Out' game.

    2024/11/02
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - did not hit the snooze bar early this morning. In fact, it was just the opposite. They got up with the roosters because today's game between USC and Washington couldn't be more important for the Huskies. And that's a strange feeling for a game that historically would have so much more going for it. But this is the first time since 1998 that neither the Trojans or Huskies are ranked going into this game. But it's always an important game when UW and USC get together, and Washington's push to get to bowl eligibility is arguably the biggest reason why it's so important this season. Hopefully the USC fans traveling up from California brought their rain ponchos with them, because today's forecast is for rain and then some more rain. How is that going to affect the away team? And then the guys go into some of the reasons they think - from afar - the Trojans are struggling under Lincoln Riley. Then there's some injury talk on both sides, but specifically about Jedd Fisch announcing Thursday that EDGE Zach Durfee and TE Quentin Moore won't be ready to go today. With Durfee being out, how is Washington going to generate a pass rush that frankly has been anemic their last two games? After a quick break the guys go into some of the game matchups and key players, starting first with USC's offense versus Washington's defense, and then they flip it. And then there's the ever-crucial special teams aspect, one that has not been good for Washington all season long. If it comes down to a made kick or a big return to get an edge in a tightly contested game in bad weather? That edge doesn't feel like it's going to go the way of the home team, if history is a guide. The guys also revisit the debate about Demond Williams. Could UW fans see Demond starting a game before the end of the season? Scott offers a compelling argument in favor of this. Scott also drills down with a complete recruiting update, with a focus on all the prospects from the 2025, 2026, and 2027 classes that are expected on Montlake today. The pregame show wraps up with the guys' final thoughts on the game, as well as some quick UW Hoops updates. The Washington men start their season Tuesday against UC Davis, and on Friday it was announced that Kelsey Plum's No. 10 jersey will be officially retired in a ceremony on January 18th when the UW women host Purdue.

    DawgmanRadio: The Interns' USC game preview!
    2024/10/31
    The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back to dissect Washington's weekend opponent, and this week it's the USC Trojans. After their loss at Indiana, the Huskies are back to the drawing board to try and figure out a way to get past their current losing streak. And usually when the USC Trojans come into town, that would a recipe for another loss. But these aren't your mother's Trojans. Under Lincoln Riley, they've been downright average the last season-and-a-half. Both Jack and Luke break down the game in general and offer their thoughts on what UW can try and do on both sides of the ball to help slow the Trojans down. How big will Jonah Coleman be in this game, especially after everyone saw Dillon Johnson run wild at USC last season and their run defense hasn't really improved all that much considering opposing offenses are also throwing the ball pretty well against the Trojans. And can UW slow USC down to give the offense enough chances to score touchdowns instead of field goals? USC is currently 16th in the country when it comes to passing offense, and they'll be going up against statistically the best pass defense in the country. Can Washington continue to show they do have one of the best pass defenses in the country, especially when you start to list all the weapons USC quarterback Miller Moss has to throw to? After a quick break, the guys offer up their Bets to Bark - the UW players they expect will impact the game the most - as well as their Betting B1G segment. And then to wrap up the game preview, Jack and Luke offer up their Confidence Intervals. It's how strongly they believe in a UW win. Needless to say, this week's confidence intervals aren't quite at the same level as they have been most of the year, but they do feel a little bit more confident about a home win compared to the last two weeks when the games were away from the friendly confines of Husky Stadium. The guys then quickly give a nod to the UW Men's Basketball team, whose season starts this coming Tuesday against UC Davis.

    DawgmanRadio: Breaking down a tough 31-17 loss at Indiana
    2024/10/26
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters in Seattle - were joined by Kim Grinolds, who was en route from Bloomington to catch a flight back to the Emerald City from Indianapolis - to break down Washington's 31-14 loss to the No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers. Starting with the first couple of offensive series, it was clear Indiana wasn't going to mess around with their front. They were averaging 3 sacks and over 6 tackles for loss per game and that's exactly what they got Saturday against the Huskies. And the pick-six from IU's D'Angelo Ponds really put Washington behind early in many ways. But to Washington's credit, they were able to keep things close and finished the first half strong with a fantastic goal line stand to hold IU to a field goal and a 10-point halftime edge. The guys talk about Will Rogers and his game, which was definitely a rough one when it came to decision-making and also staying in the pocket against a fierce IU rush. It didn't help matters that Washington had to mix and match as best they could along the offensive line, and a lot of it didn't work out that well, as the Huskies finished a combined 4-14 on third and fourth down. After a quick break the guys get back after it and talk about the unreal start UW had via Jacob Bandes' pick to set up an eventual Demond Williams 8-yard scamper for six. At that point the Huskies were only down three. But give Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti credit. He knew they had the horses up front and the running backs to wear Washington's defensive front out, and that's exactly what the home team did. Including the last drive of the second quarter, three of the last six IU offensive drives went for over 6 minutes, and two of those drives went for over 7:30 to put the game out of reach. And that also doesn't account for arguably the biggest play of the game, a 65-yard punt return IU's Myles Price to give Indiana the ball inside of Washington's 15-yard line. The subsequent touchdown with just under 9 minutes to play gave the Hoosiers a three-score lead, effectively putting the game out of reach. Before the guys end the podcast, they debate a question that was immediately asked during and after the game; should Demond Williams be handed the keys for the rest of the season? Two of the guys said no, one argued it might be the thing to do. Which way are you leaning?

    DawgmanRadio: Our Indiana Pregame Show!
    2024/10/25
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - got together Friday to put together their Indiana pregame show, and like what they did ahead of Washington's game at Iowa they wanted to give UW fans a chance to get acquainted with UW's opponent well ahead of time because of the early start time Saturday morning in Seattle. To start, they go back and talk about the things that both Jedd Fisch and the UW Coordinators - Brennan Carroll and Steve Belichick - worked on during the recent BYE week, and given the current 4-3 record and how the season has evolved, they took deep dives into basically every aspect of the program. They also talked about the recruiting work put in, as Fisch said the coaches hit a combined 75 high school football games during the BYE week. Then after a quick break, it was time to talk about UW and Indiana. The Hoosiers are hosting College Game Day for the first time ever, and there's also going to be a 'Red Out', so there is no question the partisan UI fans are going to be beyond hyped for this game. The guys went into what has made Indiana's defense one of the top scoring defenses in the country. A big part of it has not only been the continuity of bringing former James Madison DC Bryant Haines with him to Bloomington, but also a number of experienced, productive players with him. That theme continued on the other side of the ball when talking about the Hoosiers' top scoring offense in the country, even though they won't have the services of starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke. Tayven Jackson came in the second half of their 56-7 whitewashing of Nebraska to lead four touchdown drives, so there wasn't any letup from UI after losing Rourke to a thumb injury. It coincides with Washington getting top EDGE Zach Durfee back. Can UW's front make enough noise against the top-graded OL in the B1G (according to Pro Football Focus) to force Jackson off his spot and make him try and complete some ill-advised throws against statistically the top pass defense in the country? The guys wrap up their pregame show with their thoughts on not only what it's going to take for the Huskies to pull out an unlikely win against the unbeaten Hoosiers, but also an update on 2025 TE commit Vander Ploog, who is taking an official visit to Oregon this weekend after unofficially visiting Eugene for the Ohio State game. What does that mean for his commitment to UW, and what has Washington been doing during the BYE week in terms of offering players that are currently committed to other programs?

    The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back to dissect Washington's weekend opponent, and this week it's the Indiana Hoosiers. But before they take a deep dive into everything IU Football, they also provide a quick update into their College Football '25 dynasty mode endeavors. After a bye week, UW goes back on the road to square off against the No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers, but the Hoosiers will be without starting quarterback Kurtis Rourke. How do the guys see Rourke's absence affect the game? What can UW do to try and slow down backup QB Tayven Jackson? The bye week also had to have helped get some Huskies back for this game, including EDGE Zach Durfee. Both Jack and Luke break down the game in general and offer their thoughts on what UW can try and do on both sides of the ball to help slow the Hoosiers down. After a quick break, the guys offer up their Bets to Bark - the UW players they expect will impact the game the most - as well as their Betting B1G segment.

    The Husky Hoops Podcast is back!
    2024/10/24
    Now that the Washington Huskies have completed their 'Montlake Madness', it's time to start ramping up the good vibes for basketball. The men's exhibition game is on October 29 against Western Oregon and the women start their season against cross-town rival Seattle U on November 4. So Dawgman's Jack McCauley pulled in two former UW players - Noah Dickerson and Jason Crandall - to get their thoughts on the transition from Mike Hopkins to Danny Sprinkle, as well as the move to the Big Ten. They played under Hopkins and have also been able to meet Sprinkle and watch his team in action too over the summer. To start, what should UW fans expect in that change from Hop to Sprink? Both Noah and Jason offer specific thoughts on the transition, including some basic changes they expect to see in the first-year head coach. And both also talk about Sprinkle's outreach to the alums to get them even more involved with the program, and Noah offers his insight into how he expects the new coach to build his culture. Getting Noah's perspective on this team is a great one, because Spinkle has said that Dickerson is a perfect comp for current Husky Great Osobor. Before the break, Jack asks Noah and Jason a couple of other questions. First, with so many new faces, how quickly can the players gel? And besides Great, who will the Huskies rely on to help get them back to the NCAA Tournament? After paying some bills, the guys get right back at it with plenty of more preview material, starting with their takes on what they think the mentality of the team is going to be. Needless to say, the notion of toughness is talked about, and Noah definitely backs up the comparison to Great Osobor as an 'undersized big'. (Hint: Noah hated being called a center) Jack asks the guys for their opinions on who else they think could be 'x' factors for success, and Noah has one name that should get fans intrigued. Talk then turns to the idea of playing in a new conference, the Big Ten, and all that entails, including travel. Noah offers his specific perspective as a big man having to go cross-country to play games. It's not easy. But that works both ways too, as UW can use that to their advantage when they're hosting teams from multiple time zones away. To finish out the preview, Noah and Jason talk about what they think success will look like for Danny Sprinkle in his first season on Montlake, and Jack asks them for any hot takes they have for the season ahead.
