30 Day Countdown – Day 4: Big Ten Power Rankings
Initially, I was going to dedicate Day 4 to crafting my own Big Ten Power Rankings. However, Day 3’s article dives deeper, providing my rankings and how I think the conference will shake out overall. So here I am, choosing not to write the same article two days in a row. Understandable, right? Don’t get […]
Monday Dots: (third-to-) Last Gasp to Grasp the Apple Basket (maybe)
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. The 2026 football season is here. Your Washington Huskies are now in game-week mode, preparing for a first-ever Labor Day weekend Apple Cup. The Cougs come to Montlake for the first time since 2023, when a last-second Grady Gross field goal earned a 24-21 Husky victory. […]
All We Hear is Purple – Say Who?? Say What??
Husky football starts next weekend, and in all the excitement of an unprecedented week 1 Apple Cup, we at AWHIP have made the equally unprecedented and bold move of launching a spinoff format of All We Hear is Purple!! In this brand new version of the podcast, Coach B has brought producer Collin O’Meara out […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 5: Who will be the first Husky Drafted in 2027?
It’s never fun losing players. But watching their transition from Huskies to #ProDawgs eases the pain of their departure. Last season, Washington saw seven players get selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Whether before the season, mid-season, or postseason, predicting which Husky would get selected first was rather easy, as Denzel Boston’s face was plastered […]
Recruiting Roundup: Several Husky Commits Kick Off Their 2026 Season
Happy Sunday Husky fans. Today is the last Sunday without Husky football football happening for the next few months, which means recruiting is kicking into gear again. High school football is also kicking off and several Husky targets saw their seasons start. Teammates Blake Rospkopf and Zerek Sidney (from Desert Edge) both had solid outings […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 6: B1G OPOY
With the conference touting 7 of the top 20 teams in the country, there is no shortage of talent or offensive firepower across every roster. Lets take a look together at the strongest contenders before I reveal my selection. Please note these are in alphabetical order, I am not ranking them. QB Josh Hoover (Indiana) […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 7: Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year
In a conference long known for its stout defenses, being recognized as the top player on that side of the ball is no easy feat. The last five winners reflect that. Since 2021, the last four winners of the award — Aidan Hutchinson (Michigan), Jack Campbell (Iowa), Jer’Zhan Newton (Illinois), and Abdul Carter (Penn State) […]
Friday Dots: Appetizers
Good morning everyone, it is officially college football season! Granted, it’s Week 0, but there are some good games on this weekend. Personally, I’m excited for USC and San Jose State, as well as Hawaii and Stanford, but there are plenty of other games that are intriguing. But let’s get to some Dots! Football Dots […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 8: Storyline We Will Become the Most Tired of This Year
Normally I try and lead articles with multiple potential options before I revealed my final choice, but there is a storyline that I am so tired of that I want to get straight into it. Technically it is a two parter, but the same core concept around QB Demond Williams. Is the team rallied around […]

30 Day Countdown — Day 09: Ice Bath Time Machine
How’s it going Mr. “The Kid”?? It’s one of my favorite lines in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.. College football is a time machine all its own. You can be a Mr., and still be ‘the kid’ when you sit in those same stadium seats (or the couch) you’ve sat in for twenty years, or […]
30 Day Countdown – Day 10: Most Likely National Leader
There isn’t an obvious candidate on this Washington team to be a super star national level type of player. But, every college football season a handful of under-the-radar players end up atop the national leaderboards. Washington enters Jedd Fisch’s third season in Seattle with a roster that’s deeper and more experienced than either of his […]

I ran out of time to do that this summer so instead I’m breaking it up into three articles of about that size breaking up the rankings into groups of six. I’m […]

2026 Big Ten Team Talent Preview: Washington Huskies
For the last several summers I’ve come out with my team talent preview profiles for every team in Washington’s conference starting around the end of June to get us through the football doldrums. Let’s see if I met that deadline this time around and…crap. Looks like I hit the snooze button a couple hundred times. […]
Monday Dots: A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. Husky football wrapped up the Fall camp schedule with another scrimmage on Saturday. I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure at this point practices are closed to the public and move into more of a regular-season style, with two weeks until an unprecedented Labor Day weekend […]
