With the conference touting 7 of the top 20 teams in the country, there is no shortage of talent or offensive firepower across every roster. Lets take a look together at the strongest contenders before I reveal my selection. Please note these are in alphabetical order, I am not ranking them. QB Josh Hoover (Indiana) […]

30 Day Countdown – Day 7: Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year

In a conference long known for its stout defenses, being recognized as the top player on that side of the ball is no easy feat. The last five winners reflect that. Since 2021, the last four winners of the award — Aidan Hutchinson (Michigan), Jack Campbell (Iowa), Jer’Zhan Newton (Illinois), and Abdul Carter (Penn State) […]

Friday Dots: Appetizers

Good morning everyone, it is officially college football season! Granted, it’s Week 0, but there are some good games on this weekend.

30 Day Countdown — Day 09: Ice Bath Time Machine

How’s it going Mr. “The Kid”?? It’s one of my favorite lines in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.. College football is a time machine all its own. You can be a Mr., and still be ‘the kid’ when you sit in those same stadium seats (or the couch) you’ve sat in for twenty years, or […]

30 Day Countdown – Day 10: Most Likely National Leader

There isn’t an obvious candidate on this Washington team to be a super star national level type of player.

Monday Dots: A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place

Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. Husky football wrapped up the Fall camp schedule with another scrimmage on Saturday.

30 Day Countdown, Day 16: Who Will Win the SEC?

The strength of the SEC lies in the eye of the beholder. On one hand, the conference has two inner-circle National Championship contenders in Texas and Georgia, with several more teams primed to push them for CFP spots.
