Huskies Move To 2-0, Baylor Awaits

Beating Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Denver isn’t going to turn any heads, but the 2-0 Washington Huskies look the part of a team that can make noise this season.  1-0 The first of those victories came Monday against UAPB when the Huskies blasted their southern foe 94-50.

With the Huskies back in action, it […]

Opponent Offense Preview: Wisconsin Badgers

With all these previews, I try to take an optimistic spin. That might prove next to impossible with this Badger offense. Let’s get to it.

Week 10 CFB Open Thread

National Game of the Week: #17 Cincinnati @ #24 Utah It’s not a top-heavy slate of games for the weekend- after all, the Dawgs are on a bye. That gives us the opportunity to focus on some teams that aren’t usually in the spotlight. It’s interesting that three of the four teams at the top […]

2025 UW Football Goals

Back in February I published a set of goals for UW to achieve this year. As I said back then, competing in the Big Ten Championship game and getting into the CFP should be goals-this year and every year; but I was looking at goals that I thought were more realistic. It turns out that […]

Big 10 Pick 6 – The Cream Rises

I was tantalizingly close to a perfect week ATS last week. My two losses came via a backdoor cover by Michigan State on a TD with seven seconds to go and Northwestern covering by half of a point against Nebraska (seven point loss and a 7.5 point spread). Nonetheless, I’m back to .500 for the […]

The Washington Huskies return to the win column in style, as they take down their first ranked opponent on the year in the (formerly) #23 ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. It was the Demond x Denzel show as they led the offense in what is hopefully the start of a new lengthy home win streak at […]
