Week 9 CFB Open Thread
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 […]
Illinois Illini @ Washington Huskies – Game Thread and How to Watch
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 Prediction: Illinois Fighting Illini
The time is almost upon us for a home showdown against a top 25 Illinois Fighting Illini team! Our staff has their predictions!

Illinois travels to Montlake this weekend to in a matchup that may define the remainder of the Huskies’ season.

Star running back Jonah Coleman was named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, awarded to college football’s top student-athlete.

Film Study: Michigan Wolverines
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 […]
Big 10 Pick 6: Huskies Host Illinois in Pivotal Big 10 Battle
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. […]

MS: This is year 5 for Illini Head Coach Bret Bielema. Aside from a 5-7 season in 2023, Bielema […]

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 8
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 […]
Week 8 Big Ten All-Conference Team
Welcome to the fourth edition of our look at the race for the Big Ten All-Conference team. I’ll be doing this every 2 weeks to provide an evolving snapshot in part to see how dramatically things change over the course of the season. We’re somehow almost halfway through the season already. If you missed the […]
2027 Recruiting Class Preview: QB
There has been a huge surge of some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL coming from out west such as Josh Allen (CA), Justin Herbert (OR), Jared Goff (CA), and Jayden Daniels (CA) among others. So regionally, UW is at an advantage year-over-year. Will that hold true for the 2027 class as well? Over […]
Grading the Game: Michigan
Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

What We Learned: Michigan Wolverines
The Huskies’ Big Ten road woes continued, as they dropped a morning road game in ugly fashion, losing 24-7. Let’s get to what we learned! “Same as it ever was…” During the game, as Michigan dropped the proverbial hammer on the Huskies, I couldn’t help but cast my mind back to the Dawgs’ previous morning […]
Monday Dots: Dawgs Stall on the Road as Wheels Come Off
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. The Huskies carried a 7-7 score late into the 3rd quarter in Ann Arbor with a real chance at pulling off a road upset, before UW went INT, INT, TO on downs, INT. UW’s unraveling in the last 17 minutes of Saturday’s game handed the momentum, […]
Husky MBB Wins Exhibition Opener 77-62 Over UNLV
It has been a tradition for Washington basketball over the last decade or so to host a public exhibition against a local D-II or D-III opponent that results in a 40+ point win. That changed on Sunday as the Huskies hosted UNLV for an exhibition aired on B1G+ to face a team that should actually […]
Recruiting Roundup: Taking A Look At The 2027 Defensive Recruiting Board

Washington overwhelmed in 24-7 loss to Michigan
Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]
Week 8 CFB Open Thread
National Game of the Week: #5 Ole Miss @ #9 Georgia Mississippi has undoubtedly risen to a higher tier under Lane Kiffin. On Saturday, they have a chance to establish themselves firmly in the very top tier. Georgia has been slightly less invincible this season than in the recent past, but winning a game in […]
