All I Blogged Was Purple
They’re gonna put me in the DotsThey’re gonna make a big star out of meWe’ll make the film about a man that’s sad and lonelyAnd all I got to do is act naturally (Having trouble loading X/Twitter today, so here are some Bluesky Husky posts)
The Washington Huskies (13-13, 5-10 Big Ten) spent Valentine’s Day playing the game they love, and the day was made sweeter by securing a 69-57 victory over Minnesota. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak that included explainable losses to Iowa and UCLA, followed by an ugly defeat to Penn State. Washington was paced by […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Husky football team is in the middle of winter conditioning but the coaching staff is busy working the recruiting trail for the 2027 class. With a big junior day coming up in March and official visits starting to get scheduled the Huskies are definitely honing in on some prospects. Today […]
Washington saw its flickering NCAA Tournament hopes fully extinguished with a dispiriting home less to Penn St this week. What once looked like a drive to the finish now looks frighteningly like the Dawgs having to play out the string against the fellow Big 10 bottom-dwellers. The Huskies welcome one of those bottom-dwellers to Alaska […]
Good Friday morning Dawg fans! We have some news on the recruiting front so we’ll start with that first! Football Dots Basketball Dots Throwback Game of The Week In 2009, the Huskies went 5-7, a year after posting an 0-12 season with a loss to the previously 0-11 Cougars, in a game that remains the […]
happy Thursday Husky fans. The Huskies got some talent at linebacker today when 3 star brothers Justin and Ethan Coach from St John Bosco HS, CA committed to UW. The Huskies secured the commitment of the brothers over offers from a bunch of schools including Michigan, Arizona, and ASU. Both players are at least 6’2” […]
The 2025-26 UW Men’s Basketball season has been defined by respectable performances against superior rosters. There have been low moments (the loss to Seattle U.) and high points (the victory over Ohio St), but the hallmark of this UW team has been its ability to hang in against top teams without actually getting the win. […]
UW WBB hit the road again to play at #15 Iowa on Wednesday night ultimately losing by 9 points. UW came out swinging in the 1st quarter, exposing the Iowa defense in back cut after back cut, slashing to the paint and getting easy layins. One of the ways they did this is that UW […]
After competitive losses to UCLA and Iowa teams that are more “good” than “great,” the Huskies have run to the end of their leash and have no more room for error if they want to keep any postseason dreams alive. Since they have hung with so many of the nation’s top teams, UW remains #44 […]
The focus for a lot of sports fans in the Seattle area (and elsewhere) is on the victory celebration today in Seattle for the Seahawks, but there is other news for UW. Among the news is a letter by the Big Ten to the NCAA to end ‘prop bets’ for college athletics. That and more […]
This season, we are looking to enhance our coverage of UW Softball. We have always covered the NCAA Tournament and given updates through the season, either through occasional game recaps or updates in Dots. This year, we are launching a weekly Softball recap post to make it easier for casual fans to keep up with […]
Not a lot happening around these parts, but here is your daily roundup of Washington athletics news and notes. To the Dots! Dots:
I wonder if those changes have left a Dot on youLike all the burnin’ hoops of fire that you and I passed through
Happy Super Bowl Sunday Husky fans. With the 2026 class in the rear view mirror the Husky coaches are laser focused on getting the team ready for the 2026 season but they are also putting in a lot of leg work to get the 2027 class put together. Recently a couple of Husky targets narrowed […]
Now that the 2026 signing day is past (although UW didn’t add any scholarship players this week), the roster is mostly set for the 2026 season. Last year I put together a list of 10 goals for UW football for 2025. (https://www.uwdawgpound.com/2025/2/6/24360368/uw-football-goals-for-2025) UW did well, achieving 8 out of 10 of the goals. (https://www.uwdawgpound.com/washington-football/72817/reviewing-the-2025-uw-football-goals) Because […]
Those of us who follow UW Men’s Basketball have spent weeks talking about how the schedule will eventually get softer and the Dawgs could make a run. Seven of their last 10 opponents have been ranked in the top 26 in Bart Torvik’s T-Rank (similar to KenPom, but free!). The Dawgs beat the three non-elite […]

Tonight began the “easy” part of UW’s schedule, as the Iowa Hawkeyes came to Alaska Airlines arena boasting a record of 16-5. The Hawkeyes have a position that the Huskies currently covet. They remain firmly in the tournament picture, projected as an 8 seed by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi. For the Huskies to get to the […]

Happy Sunday Husky fans. I’m sorry this is late today but I’m in Hawaii having some family time. I got the chance to talk to 3 star edge Troy Mailo from Mullen HS, CO about his recruitment and interest in UW. Mailo is rated as the 42nd best edge in the country and besides UW […]
It’s no secret that year 2 for Danny Sprinkle has been a struggle in Big Ten play. The last 2 road games (against #7 Nebraska and #9 Illinois) have brought that struggle into sharp relief. Fresh off that loss to Illinois, the Huskies continued their sojourn through the state, heading to Evanston to take on […]
Happy Saturday Husky fans. The Huskies received a verbal commitment today from the top prospect in Idaho. 3 star athlete/linebacker Titus Osterman from Kimberly HS, ID committed to UW after unofficially visiting UW this weekend. Osterman, who is ranked as the 68th best athlete by 247sports has the frame that the Huskies have been covering […]
