    DawgmanRadio: Catching up in a lot of news during the BYE week
    Nov 22 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - caught up Friday morning as the Washington Huskies rested up ahead of next weekend's game at No. 1 Oregon. And while the final football game of the regular season is over a week away, there is still a ton of news to catch up on. For starters, will the Huskies get anyone back in a substantial way ahead of the Oregon game? Does that include EDGE Zach Durfee? And could the Oregon game also provide a springboard for players that are just starting to show their potential, like Deuce Davis? They also talk about other relevant football topics, like the coaching carousel and more as the season moves one week closer to the 12-team playoff. Who do they think will eventually win it all? After a break to pay some bills, the guys come back with a big recruiting update, courtesy of Scott. They talk about recent commit, RB Quaid Carr, as well as the current status of committed players elsewhere, like Andrew Marsh and Donovan Olugbode, who recently visited UW. They also talked about the impending decisions of 2025 OL Peter Langi and 2026 OL Esun Tafa. Talk then turned to the men's basketball news, as Mady Traore, arguably the No. 1 juco prospect in America, signed with Washington this week. And what does that mean for other big that is expected to enroll at some point - forward Dominique Diomande from France and the Ivory Coast. Will the increase in scholarships from 13 to 15 take care of a potential numbers crunch for first-year head coach Danny Sprinkle. To wrap up, the guys give their final thoughts heading into the weekend, including the debate on who should start at quarterback next Saturday in Eugene - Will Rogers or Demond Williams?

    DawgmanRadio: The Husky Hoops Podcast is Back!
    Nov 17 2024
    The Husky Hoops Guys, Jack McCauley, Noah Dickerson, and Jason Crandall are back with their third installment of the Hoops Pod. They begin by discussing the loss against Nevada, especially about if fans need to value DJ Davis and if folks should expect another performance from Great Osobor like we saw against the Wolf Pack this season. The guys then talk about the upcoming games leading into the Thanksgiving tournament down in Palm Springs, specifically what the Huskies need to do in these two games to give them a good shot to win the tournament in the Desert. After that, Noah discusses how he gets ready for games, what his pregame routine looks like, and some potential superstitions he had while suiting up for the purple and gold. The guys end the pod by talking about specific guys that need to step up this season for Coach Sprinkle and really start to make an impact as a tougher schedule looms in the distance.

  • DawgmanRadio: UW gets to bowl eligibility with big win over UCLA

    DawgmanRadio: UW gets to bowl eligibility with big win over UCLA
    Nov 16 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - wax lyrical over Washington's 31-19 win over the UCLA Bruins, a win that put the Huskies at 6-5 on the season and secure in the knowledge that they'll be bowling come December. The guys talk first about Washington's defense, and specifically the ability of UW's front 7 to shut down UCLA's run game and force Ethan Garbers on the run all night long. They held the Bruins to 52 yards on 33 carries, and it was mainly due to the work of defensive tackles like Sebastian Valdez, as well as edge players like Russell Davis II. The man they call 'Deuce' only played in his third game as a Husky, but the former Arizona product finished the night with three tackles, three tackles for loss, three sacks, a forced fumble, and a recovery of that same fumble. After a quick break the talk turned to the other side of the ball, and mostly it revolved around Jedd Fisch and his decision to pull UW starting quarterback Will Rogers after Rogers threw interceptions on back-to-back possessions. True freshman Demond Williams came in the final three series of the game for UW and led the Huskies to 17 points, including touchdowns on their two fourth-quarter drives. Now that UW is bowl-eligible, where are they going to go bowling? Los Angeles? San Diego? Las Vegas? El Paso? Shreveport? A lot of names have already been thrown out there. Before the guys wrap up the post-game podcast, Scott provides a quick recruiting update on who was in the stands for the game, and there's also talk about a few of the former players that were also there, like the two Legends of the Game - Mason Foster and Roy Lewis.

    DawgmanRadio: Our UCLA Pregame Show!
    Nov 15 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together for a rare Friday morning recording session because the Washington Huskies happen to be playing tonight. And they're hosting the UCLA Bruins with bowl eligibility riding on the result. And it's an interesting promotion tonight with World of Warcraft, so if you're going to the Greatest Setting in College Football you might see some gaming branding and other things to signify the partnership. But before the guys go into the details of tonight's game, they went back to quickly recap Kim's Happy Valley experience, both getting to the Penn State game, what he saw, and also how he got back. And like the game itself, none of it was pretty (or happy). Then the talk turned to tonight's Senior Night, one where 26 UW players are expected to walk. And some of them with eligibility left could absolutely return. After a quick break the talk moved quickly to tonight's game against UCLA, starting with the return of quarterback Ethan Garbers and what a win for UW would mean compared to a loss. The stakes in this game couldn't be more straightforward for both teams. They also talk about UCLA's season and how well they've bounced back from a rough five-game losing stretch to win their last three - two of them on the road at Rutgers and Nebraska. And with UW coming off a long trip home to face the Bruins on a short week, how will the home team be able to mitigate that? Or will it even matter this late in the season where a lot of key players are spending more time in the training room than the practice field? And a question is asked; given UW's inability to pressure upfield, will they sit back and spy Garbers and try and contain his scrambling ability? And Friday's weather forecast - mid-40's and a low chance of rain - affect the team from SoCal? Scott offers up a recruiting report for tonight's game, and the Huskies are hosting a few top recruits for the 2025 and 2026 classes. And the guys also offer up some stories with today's Husky legends - Mason Foster and Roy Lewis. The guys finish up the show with their final keys to the game, and Kim and Chris also talk a little bit about men's basketball signing day, UW getting guards JJ Mandaquit and Courtland Muldrew, and what UW fans might expect from the Huskies moving forward based on the players Danny Sprinkle has brought to Montlake.

    Nov 14 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - interns Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back on a short week with their game preview. As with every preview podcast, they go back and take a quick look at UW's White Out road loss at Penn State (the quicker the better) before digging deep into this week's opponent, the UCLA Bruins. They first start with the battle between Washington's offense versus UCLA defense, and then they switch sides and look at UCLA's offense versus Washington's defense. After a quick break the guys then go into their special segments, starting with their bets to bark - the players they expect to impact the game - and then their thoughts on the other Big Ten games this weekend before finishing the podcast preview with their confidence intervals when thinking about a potential Washington victory.

    DawgmanRadio: Where does Washington go from here after 35-6 loss at Penn State?
    Nov 10 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - do their best to break down the key moments in Washington's 35-6 loss at Penn State Saturday night, and one of the biggest moments happened during the Nittany Lions' first drive of the game. After going the length of the field only to get denied by the right upright, the Huskies then lost one of their top defenders in cornerback Thaddeus Dixon to a targeting call. In our opinion it was the play of the game because it set the tone for UW's defense the rest of the way, it also took a key player out of the Huskies' arsenal, forcing them to go to their already thin bench. After a break, the guy broke down their thoughts on arguably the biggest move of the game from Washington's standpoint - the move to Demond Williams and away from Will Rogers at quarterback. Jedd Fisch wanted to give the opportunity to the true freshman, but also understood that the Huskies needed something that Rogers wasn't able to give them. In the first half Washington totaled 71 yards of offense, 50 through the air. UW came up with 122 yards of total offense in the second half, as well as six points. But Scott and Chris also discuss why this game was pretty much a loss from the start. The first two drives told the story of how Washington has struggled to finish drives and keep teams out of the end zone, and it didn't get any better as the game wore on.

    Nov 9 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - got together early Saturday morning while Kim Grinolds was en route to Happy Valley to talk about tonight's game between Washington and No. 6/7 Penn State. But to start, Scott and Chris offer a quick USC recap, and then get right to the guts of what they expect to see tonight, starting with the matchup of Washington's offense versus Penn State's defense. This will be a tremendous test for all 11 players, but most certainly along the offensive line and the receivers, who have a chance to win some 1-1 matchups against Tom Allen's 1-high safety scheme. After a quick break, the tables are turned. Scott and Chris offer their thoughts on Penn State's offense and area where Steve Belichick could attack. And in some ways, especially with personnel groupings, Washington and Penn State are similar. Will that work to UW's advantage? Or will the Nittany Lions be the team to capitalize? The pregame show finishes off with Scott and Chris's final thoughts on the game, as well as a quick update from Scott on the recruiting front and any fallout from the big recruiting weekend UW had against USC.
