Recapping the 2026 Spokane UW Alumni Event, Part 1
This past Wednesday was the day of one of my favorite events of the year, the Husky alumni luncheon at the Spokane Club! Long time readers may know that I usually interview Damon Huard and the voice of the Huskies, and usually Damon’s interview gets published first. That will continue, but rather than a straightforward […]
Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 1
The first full week of games produced an upset (Rutgers) , a near upset (Michigan) , a couple of close calls (Michigan State and Oregon, and some would say Washington), and a solid win by a team where the game was expected to be close. Let’s see what those results do to where the teams […]
Grading the Game: Washington State
Passing Offense – 6.5/10 Quarterback – 6.5/10 Offensive line – 4/10 Receivers/tight ends – 7/10 Demond Williams finished 24-of-35 for 268 yards and a touchdown, no picks, no sacks, and tacked on 61 yards and a score with his legs, but that final line covers up how disjointed this game felt through most of the […]
Tuesday Dots: Backfield Blues
Hope everyone enjoyed a long weekend. It still feels bizarre that the Apple Cup is already over after week one, but here we are. To the Dots! Dots
What We Learned: Apple Cup
It was a frustrating effort by the Dawgs as they were far from perfect in a week one Apple Cup. Nevertheless, they persisted through adversity (oftentimes adversity of their own making), to pick up a 24-10 win over the Cougs in the 118th Apple Cup. Let’s get into what we learned! Thrown Headsets And Snooze […]
Monday Dots: They Say a Team Improves the Most..
Let’s hope they’re right. Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. In the end, sure the good vibes of keeping the Apple Cup trophy lifted my spirits somewhat. Although in the 3rd quarter I turned to the Husky fan next to me and said “Assuming we hold on, this may be the most […]
Apple Cup stays put, Huskies beat Cougars 24-10
If Washington is going to succeed, Demond Williams needs to have a high usage rate as both a passer and runner. He is at his best when he’s on the move, and the Huskies are as well. That’s my primary takeaway from Washington’s frustrating, but earned, season-opening Apple Cup victory. On the one hand, Washington’s […]
Recruiting Roundup: Massive Wave Of Visitors Are Heading To Montlake Today
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies kick off their 2026 season this season and the Apple Cup is set to see a massive wave of visitors on campus this weekend. Most of the 2027 class will head to campus this weekend. With the majority of the 2027 class already on board the Huskies have their […]
Washington vs. Washington State – Game Thread and How to Watch
It’s not Thanksgiving and it’s not the Apple Cup of old. The Dawgs and Cougs will kick off the ‘26 season by renewing their rivalry at Husky Stadium. WSU is part of the new-look Pac-12 with a new-look roster and a new-looking coaching staff. Kirby Moore arrives for his first head coaching job after serving […]
Week 1 Open Thread
Welcome to the first full weekend of college football for 2026! This is your open thread to discuss anything and everything happening on the field leading up to the Apple Cup on Sunday. Friday Night: There are two P4 matchups in the Friday Night window. Georgia Tech, seemingly on an upward trajectory under Brent Key, […]
30 Day Countdown, Day 1: Game-by-Game Results Preview
On Day 9 of this countdown, Collin O’Meara took you back in time to fill out the 2026 roster with one player from Huskies history. I have procured use of Mr. O’Meara’s Delorean, but I’m not looking to the past, I’m headed back… to the future! If you want to be surprised by each UW […]

Good Friday morning everyone. Apple Cup week rolls on and we inch ever closer to the 1 PM Sunday kickoff. To quench your appetite, we have some Dots for you! Football Dots That’s all for today, so thank you for making Dots a part of your morning and as always, Go Dawgs!
30 Day Countdown, Day 2: UWDP Staff Temperature Check Roundtable
We lead into the season with a month-long preview series. Naturally, things change during that month and our outlook on the team evolves as we hear stories coming out of practices. Every year, we dedicate the penultimate day of the countdown to a check-in on what our staff is feeling about the team as we […]

Opponent Defensive Preview: Washington State Cougars, Apple Cup Edition
It’s game week, and that means we get to kick off another season of opponent defensive previews. This year we open the season against the Cougs in Husky Stadium for the first true home game Apple Cup since 2023. In what should be a refreshingly lively season opener, WSU also begin the Kirby Moore era. […]
Opponent Offense Preview: Washington State Cougars
There aren’t many returners from last year’s WSU team that lost to UW 59-24, and their strength as a team this year should be defense. But today, we examine the offense. Let’s get to it. Key Players Washington should be familiar with redshirt sophomore QB Caden Pinnick, who they faced as the UC Davis quarterback […]
Wednesday Dots: Seattle Sound
Trust is the greatest of gifts, but it must be earned. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 4, Episode 8 Much of the talk of the offseason has been around whether Demond Williams can lead the team after his brief foray into the Transfer Portal. He has tried to build that trust back and had […]
30 Day Countdown: Day 3 – B1G Win Projections
Week 0 is in the rear-view mirror, and Week 1’s arrival is imminent. Of the 18 teams in the conference, only USC took the field in Week 0. The result was an easy victory over San Jose State. I predicted how USC will fare in its other 11 games, and did the same for every […]
Tuesday Dots: Staying Safe
It’s game week! Totally bizarre that the season opens with the Apple Cup, but that’s where we are. Here’s your daily round up of Washington Football links and updates. To the Dots! Dots

30 Day Countdown – Day 4: Big Ten Power Rankings
Initially, I was going to dedicate Day 4 to crafting my own Big Ten Power Rankings. However, Day 3’s article dives deeper, providing my rankings and how I think the conference will shake out overall. So here I am, choosing not to write the same article two days in a row. Understandable, right? Don’t get […]
Monday Dots: (third-to-) Last Gasp to Grasp the Apple Basket (maybe)
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. The 2026 football season is here. Your Washington Huskies are now in game-week mode, preparing for a first-ever Labor Day weekend Apple Cup. The Cougs come to Montlake for the first time since 2023, when a last-second Grady Gross field goal earned a 24-21 Husky victory. […]
All We Hear is Purple – Say Who?? Say What??
Husky football starts next weekend, and in all the excitement of an unprecedented week 1 Apple Cup, we at AWHIP have made the equally unprecedented and bold move of launching a spinoff format of All We Hear is Purple!! In this brand new version of the podcast, Coach B has brought producer Collin O’Meara out […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 5: Who will be the first Husky Drafted in 2027?
It’s never fun losing players. But watching their transition from Huskies to #ProDawgs eases the pain of their departure. Last season, Washington saw seven players get selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Whether before the season, mid-season, or postseason, predicting which Husky would get selected first was rather easy, as Denzel Boston’s face was plastered […]
Recruiting Roundup: Several Husky Commits Kick Off Their 2026 Season
Happy Sunday Husky fans. Today is the last Sunday without Husky football football happening for the next few months, which means recruiting is kicking into gear again. High school football is also kicking off and several Husky targets saw their seasons start. Teammates Blake Rospkopf and Zerek Sidney (from Desert Edge) both had solid outings […]
