All I Blogged Was Purple
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 […]

If you missed them you can find part one (primary ball handlers) and part two (other guards/wings) right there at those links. Let’s keep going with our players who might see time at the power forward spot this season. F/C […]

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 […]
All of the Big Ten teams that were supposed to win, did. A few won by larger-than-expected margins-including UW. Polls There were a couple of upsets of top-25 teams, and a couple of near upsets. (Can you call UW’s win over Illinois an upset since they were favored?) Here are the 5 Big Ten teams […]
If you missed it go back and check out part one of our men’s basketball player preview series from yesterday when we discussed the players most likely to man the point guard spot on this roster. Today we’ll continue on with the guards/wings who are more likely to be secondary ball handlers. G 6’4 Wesley […]
Welcome to part two of this ongoing series where we introduce you to the prospects that UW has offered so far in the 2027 recruiting class. Today, we are looking at the running back position. I am keeping the same tier list as the quarterbacks which breaks down into four tiers: Committed: Just as the […]
It’s an off week, but there’s still plenty of Husky football news. To the Dots! Dots:
Welcome to the start of my annual player preview series as we rapidly approach the start of the Washington Men’s Basketball season. One exhibition game is in the books but the regular season begins on Monday, 11/3 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This Washington roster appears to be the best they’ve had since the early parts of […]
It was an all around excellent game as the Dawgs took care of business, dispatching the Illinois Fighting Illini by a score of 42-25. Let’s get to what we learned! “Don’t baby me!” If there was a defining moment from the Huskies’ win, Denzel Boston definitely had a few candidates. His 10 catches, for 153 […]
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. I walked to Husky Stadium on Saturday remarking that UW needed not just a win, but a Feel Good Win against Illinois. With the late collapse to Michigan and meager 1st-half scoring recently, it seemed Husky fans like me needed to feel good about where this […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies got a big win yesterday over a solid Illinois team and in attendance were several official visitors the Huskies are trying to nab heading into the December early signing period. Here are a look at some of the official visitors as well as some big names in the 2027 […]
In its most impressive outing of the season, Washington (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) got back in the win column by hammering No. 23 Illinois at Husky Stadium. Slow starts have ailed the Huskies since the start of Big Ten play, but Saturday was different. The Huskies were the team that sprung an early lead this […]
National Game of the Week: #3 Texas A&M @ #20 LSU Texas A&M has been an object of derision for much of its history due to the fanbase’s inflated sense of importance and the team’s relative lack of top tier accomplishments. In recent history, the giant contract given to Jimbo Fischer without any tangible on-field […]
Every game feels monumental during the season, but this game between the Huskies and Illini feels extra important for the big picture trajectory of the season. It might be the best chance for UW to beat a ranked opponent. It might be the most evenly-matched game the Huskies play in terms of overall team quality. […]
The time is almost upon us for a home showdown against a top 25 Illinois Fighting Illini team! Our staff has their predictions! Andrew Berg (7-0 SU, 3-4 ATS) Washington has been a much better team at Husky Stadium than on the road throughout Jedd Fisch’s tenure. Even after getting the monkey off his back […]

Illinois travels to Montlake this weekend to in a matchup that may define the remainder of the Huskies’ season. Both the Huskies and Fighting Illini are looking to rebound from tough losses against Michigan and Ohio State respectively. The Huskies’ offensive unit, which has been depleted by injuries, has a tough match up against Illinois’ […]
Star running back Jonah Coleman was named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, awarded to college football’s top student-athlete. Coleman — and his 3.93 GPA — is the first Husky to be named a finalist since Elijah Molden in 2020. The Seattle Times weighs in on the upcoming bounce back battle with Illinois: […]
The Washington Huskies came back down to Earth as they faced off against the Michigan Wolverines. The team kept things close with a 7-7 tie at intermission before it all unraveled following halftime. The defense did all that they could but the offense did not hold up their end of the bargain. Michigan forced 3 […]
We are getting further into the season and learning more about each team. As a result, the lines are getting better and fewer games are coming in with wildly unexpected results. Of the six games picked last week, only Minnesota’s upset over Nebraska on Friday night jumped out as wildly out of line with expectations. […]
Ahead of a showdown with the 23rd ranked Illinois Fighting Illini, I talked to Pleas (pronounced Plez) Honeywood of SB Nation’s Illinois blog, The Champaign Room to get the lowdown on a very good Illinois team! MS: This is year 5 for Illini Head Coach Bret Bielema. Aside from a 5-7 season in 2023, Bielema […]

Minnesota started the weekend off with a surprise win over Nebraska. Penn State continued its winless streak, this time losing at Iowa. UCLA continued its winning streak by beating Maryland. Ohio State and Oregon won on the road, but all of the other home teams won their games. So where does that leave all of […]
