Huskies Embarrassed On The Road, Again

Washington head coach Jedd Fisch hasn’t given a definite answer on whether he’ll stick around next season or accept an offer to go elsewhere. Under his lead, a program tired of being a stepping stone for eager coaches got stomped by the Wisconsin Badgers.  Among other things, Washington looked sloppy and overwhelmed, a recurring theme […]

Week 11 CFB Open Thread

National Game of the Week: #7 BYU @ #8 Texas Tech Have I intentionally gone out of my way to name games outside the SEC as the game of the week from time to time? Perhaps. But this week is not one of them. Two legitimate top ten teams from the Big 12 will play […]

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. The Golden Lions had zero answers on either side […]

Ahead of the Huskies’ road trip to Madison, I caught up with Rohan Chakravarthi of SB Nation’s Wisconsin site Bucky’s 5th Quarter, to get the lowdown on this year’s Badgers squad!

Big 10 Pick 6: Beer, Cheese, and Dawgs

I have been perfect on my 12 straight-up picks the last two weeks. My ATS last week were not as strong (2-4).

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.

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 10

USC proved that it can beat a decent team on the road; this time it was Nebraska. Indiana continues to thrash most of their opponents while Penn State, Michigan State, and Purdue continue to lose.

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 […]
