Dawgman Radio

It's season two of the Hoops Show! Jack McCauley joins former Husky players Jason Crandall and Noah Dickerson to recap the UNLV exhibition win, the season schedule, and expectations for this year's Hoop Dawgs. With a new year and only two returning players (Franck Kepnang and Zoom Diallo), UW Head Coach Danny Sprinkle had a huge recruiting task in front of him. And he produced one of the nation's best transfer classes The guys go straight into UW's 77-62 exhibition win over UNLV where they saw the new group for first time. Yes, there were some guys missing, but they each gave their thoughts. Noah spent time with a number of the players over summer playing with them and getting to know them. He offered thoughts on players we didn't get to see, as well as other observations. Jack asked Jason and Noah about the recent alumni events, including checking out the new hoops facility. How has it all impacted the culture? After a quick break, Jack then goes into a scheduele overview, first into the non-conference part and then into the Big Ten Conference schedule. The three then go into their overall expectations for the team and also go around and predict the opening night starting lineup. The season starts a week from today as UW hosts Arkansas Pine-Bluff. They also talk about an 'X factor' for the season. What could that be?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - hashed out all the main talking points after the Washington Huskies defeated the No. 23 Illinois Fighting Illini Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium. And just like the weather coming off Lake Washington, the UW fans in attendance got to see a little bit of everything. They saw the Huskies go 6-6 in the red zone with 6 touchdowns, they saw the Huskies penalized 30 yards on one play, they saw a double pass between their Big 3 - Demond Williams, Denzel Boston, and Jonah Coleman. They saw Boston get career highs for catches and yards. And most importantly, they were able to see the Huskies come home, wash the bitter taste of a 17-point defeat at Michigan, and cap it off with a dominant offensive display as UW now goes into their second bye week before heading to Wisconsin. The guys talked about the key plays and drives that allowed Washington to get ahead and even go back into the lead late in the first half after Illinois had bounced back to take their own lead. And then they hashed out all the different adjustments that were made on both sides of the ball, the takeaways, the almost takeaways, the penalties, and everything else that happened during a day where the weather seemed to show all four seasons within a span of a few hours.

After suffering their second loss of the season at the hands of Michigan, the Washington Huskies return home to host the 23rd ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. Former interns, Jack and Luke, get together to recap and preview the game. This week's matchup is perplexing. On one hand, Illinois is allowing nearly 300 passing yards per game to power conference opponents. On the other hand, the Huskies are scoring just 18.75 points per game over the past four contests. Jack and Luke discuss how Washington will look to get back in the driver's seat at the Greatest Setting and return to their high-scoring ways of early September. Additionally, Jack and Luke share their favorite bets of the upcoming weekend slate. Luke continues his dominant season while Jack will look to get back on track.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Ann Arbor and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - caught up postgame after Washington's 24-7 loss to Michigan, a game where anything that could have gone wrong for the Huskies did. And then when it seemed to go right, the nature of the brutal battle turned those tiny wins into Pyrrhic victories due to injuries. Three offensive players - starting left tackle Maximus McCree, starting tight end Quentin Moore, and backup tight end Kade Eldridge - all went down with first half injuries and Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch said postgame that the prognosis for all three in terms of coming back to play soon wasn't good. In fact, McCree is now out for the year with a foot injury. The guys talked about how the injuries impacted a game that already had major injury concerns for both teams, how Michigan was able to pull the card UW used last year against the Wolverines by using second-half turnovers to go ahead and stay ahead on the scoreboard, the massive discrepancy in time of possession - especially in the fourth quarter - and more. They talked about the battle between Demond Williams and Bryce Underwood, how the battle in the trenches ultimately impacted the game for both young quarterbacks, and also Fisch taking responsibility for not getting his team prepared to finish the game the way they needed to. Washington has figured out a way to beat the teams they should. But what about the teams they could beat? That also is something the guys talked about in their final thoughts as the Huskies head back to Seattle licking their wounds and searching for answers as another tough opponent - Illinois - is set to travel to the Emerald City off a bye week. Oh, and Kim has a couple passes for Sunday's hoops exhibition game versus UNLV, so if you're interested send him an email: kimg@dawgman.com  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund back in Seattle - get up with the roosters early this morning and hold down the fort and focus on the main talking points leading into a monster game between Washington and Michigan while Kim Grinolds is en route to the Big House. So much is on the line this morning! With the Huskies at 5-1, a win over Michigan would be a statement win, a win that could catapult them right into the Big Ten Championship conversation if they were able to back it up with a home win over Illinois. A loss, and it feels like they're back to the drawing board in terms of figuring out exactly where they fit in the conference hierarchy. With Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon being the clear three at the top, where do the Huskies fit in within that next tier? What is undeniable is that a win over Michigan would immediately jump Washington into the top-25 with a bullet, no question about it. Chris and Scott talk about the merits of whether UW should already be in the top-25 and how much an early start could factor in like it did against Iowa and Indiana last season. Other topics that were discussed during this comprehensive pregame show: Slow startsTake the ball or defer if you win the toss?Michigan's offense versus Washington's defenseWhat should UW do with LB Jacob Manu?The battle between Michigan's emerging WR corps and Washington's DBsShould Ryan Walters heat Bryce Underwood up?Washington's offense versus Michigan's defenseIs a UW blowout win even possible?Recruiting updateFinal game thoughts To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Lifted by another strong second half against Rutgers, the Washington Huskies will carry a 5-1 record into Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. Ex-Interns Jack and Luke rehash Washington's win over the Scarlet Knights before turning their attention to this upcoming weekend. Topics of discussion include Washington's recent slow starts and the challenge of playing a 9 AM Pacific Time game. On the brighter side, they discuss the likelihood of Demond Williams continuing his impressive sophomore campaign against a Wolverine pass defense that has allowed teams like Nebraska, USC, and Oklahoma to move the ball through the air. Luke also looks to continue his dominant Betting B1G season, where he currently boasts a 12-6 picking record and a six-game lead over Jack. The duo also picks a couple of players on each side of the ball that they anticipate performing well against Sherrone Moore's Wolverines on Saturday.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand to witness Demond Williams record-setting night as the Washington Huskies beat Rutgers 38-19 Friday night at Husky Stadium. The sophomore quarterback threw for over 400 yards and set the record for the most total yardage in a single game while another record-setter - Charles "E.T." Frederick was on hand to watch. Frederick still holds the UW All-Time Single Game All-Purpose yardage record. Frederick was at the game for teammate Reggie Williams, who is part of the 2025 UW Hall of Fame class. Besides Williams' fantastic night, the guys also talked about another slow start for the Huskies, which found them down 10-0 after the first quarter, their fight back to be down only three at the half, and then the monstrous second half by the UW offense. After only generating 80 yards through the first 15 minutes of play, the Huskies finished the night with 579 yards of total offense. They talked about the decision to hold LB Jacob Manu out while giving a chance for true freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale to get his first snaps in as a Husky. They also talked about how the left side of the offensive line did as Paki Finau made his first career start and Maximus McCree started for the second-straight game for Carver Willis. The guys also talked about the game within the context of the Seattle Mariners' historic 14-inning win over the Detroit Tigers, a game that started before the Rutgers-UW game and ended well after the Huskies had finished off the Scarlet Knights.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - turned the coffee machine on extra early this morning, so early in fact that they gave Kim Grinolds the morning off after he returned from a long trip back east to cover the Maryland game and Big Ten Basketball Media Days. And Kim needs to catch up on his sleep because today has the potential to be a famous day in Seattle sports. Not because of a Washington win over Rutgers, but a Mariners playoff triumph over the Tigers to win the American League Division Series. Let's just say the traffic in and around Seattle is going to be a bit rough with the Mariners game starting at 5 pm local time, an hour before the start of the Rutgers-Washington game. A silver lining? The rain looks to stay away during the games. During the 70-minute pregame show, the following topics were discussed: Will Jacob Manu play or not, depending on whether he still plans on redshirting this season?The matchup between UW's offense and Rutgers' defense.Will Maximus McCree start again? And who would back him up?Should Rutgers spy Demond Williams?The matchup between Rutgers' offense and UW's defense.How big would it be to get Tacario Davis back tonight?Could tonight be the UW debut of freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, and if so, how would he be used?Recruiting update, including two committed players who are unofficially visiting.Final Thoughts.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down the main talking points after Washington's improbable 24-20 win at previously-unbeaten Maryland Saturday afternoon at SECU Stadium in College Park, MD. It's the first time Washington had come back from at least 20 points on the road since winning at California in 1993. That's crazy, right?  And that was probably the biggest one of them all; how did they go from looking so awful in the first half to so dominant in the second half? And how did they make Maryland, who is a pretty good team anyway, look like they could compete for a Big Ten title in the first half and then completely shut them down for their last four offensive series and make true freshman phenom Malik Washington look positively human? Here are the topics we touched on during our 35-minute recap. - Kim setting the scene and the atmosphere in what was billed as a 'sold out' SECU Stadium, the first apparent sell-out in years.- Why did Washington come out of the blocks like they were sleep-walking?- Demond Williams and how he was able to go from his first-half struggles to second-half dominance.- Did it ever get bad enough to warrant a conversation about giving backup QB Kai Horton a series?- No Zach Durfee and Deshawn Lynch stepping up as the 'next man'.- Offensive line issues, especially on the left side with no Carver Willis to start and John Mills getting hurt during the game.- How winning a game in the manner they did can help UW down the road.- Kim talking with UW Road Captain Todd Bachert and his Dad Bruce.- Final Thoughts.

Prior to this weekend's momentous tilt, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger sync up to break it all down.

To start with, it was the hottest Apple Cup on record, with 81-degrees announced at kickoff.

And this being Apple Cup week, it felt like the perfect time to get back with Jim to get his thoughts on the Cougars and what he expects to see on Saturday, as well as catch up with life after radio and some of his favorite Apple Cup memories.

The 117th Apple Cup looms large as the Washington Huskies head across the state to take on the Washington State Cougars. Jedd Fisch's undefeated Huskies were able to enjoy a bye week while the Cougs suffered their first loss of the season in Denton against the North Texas Mean Green. Even so, Jimmy Rogers won't have a hard time getting the most out of his WSU team who will be desperate to retain the Apple Cup Trophy for another year.  After a week off of their own, Jack and Luke are back at it with the Mac and Mounger show. The two former (current?) interns grade Washington's 70-10 smack down of UC Davis. Afterwards, they share their top stories to watch in this weekend's showdown. A couple highlights include a quarterback competition in Pullman and a budding Heisman campaign for Jonah Coleman. Next, the duo picks their "Bets to Bark" for the week, each selecting a player on offense and defense to have a standout performance. Hint: Jonah Coleman was selected in this segment. After that, the Betting B1G start of the show begins. It's important to note that Luke is 6-0 on the season. How long can he remain undefeated? Also, don't ask Jack what his record is. Finally, Jack and Luke put a numeric value to their confidence level the Huskies will bring the Apple Cup back home to Seattle.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - gathered Friday morning to gab a bit during this BYE weekend and tie up some loose ends after Washington's 70-10 dismantling of UC Davis. After some scheduling talk and the normal complaints from west coasters about late night starts and Scott's master plan for how conference realignment will all shake out within a decade (he promises this will definitely all happen), Kim gets Chris's and Scott's take on some things that came out of the UC Davis win since he wasn't able to make it due to car troubles. Talk moved to the improvement of the offensive line, including the things that have helped this year's line settle in a lot quicker compared to last season, as well as how Jedd Fisch's high school recruiting philosophy has already started to pay off, especially along the OL. After a quick break Kim asks Scott to talk about John Mills and his recruitment to Washington. Scott happened to be at UW the day Mills was offered a scholarship by the previous staff, and he lays out Mills' recruitment from when he originally committed to Texas, to Washington keeping on him due to his Montlake family ties, to his eventual flip to the Huskies. Kim asks Chris whether or not Washington's first BYE week comes at a good time. Believe it or not, they had differing opinions on this topic. And then Scott gives a recruiting update that eventually wound its way toward the 2027 recruiting class and whether or not he's surprised the Huskies don't have any public commitments for that class so far.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with former Seattle Times writer Bud Withers on the release of his book called 'Too Good to be Through', chronicling the Apple Cup series between Washington and Washington State. And with the Apple Cup coming up in just over a week, the conversation was a timely one. To start the podcast, Kim asks the foundational question; why? Why did Bud decide to write about the history of the Apple Cup? Bud talked about the reasoning, as well as the genesis for the idea. In fact the book goes back to when the rivalry wasn't even known as the Apple Cup. And piecing together basic questions like, who scored the first-ever touchdown for Washington in the rivalry, wasn't easy at all. Bud goes in-depth into the research behind the book, including long days pouring over ancient microfiche in the Suzzallo Library. Bud also talks about how the rivalry naturally split the state up into different camps, but how it also became pretty heated almost right from when they started playing each other. Kim also asked about some of Bud's favorite characters on both teams that he uncovered and/or spoke to during the writing of the book. And of course the two talk about their favorite games in the series, games won by both teams. To purchase the book through Amazon, click HERE.

The Washington Huskies decimated UC Davis 70-10, and the guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - broke down all the positives they saw. And there were a lot of them. To start, the Huskies got off to a hot start, scoring the five times they had the ball in the first half, amassing a 42-10 halftime edge. They were also able to get a pick from Tacario Davis and should have had another one from their other 6-4 corner, Ephesians Prysock. But there were still some sloppy penalties and execution issues that kept the Huskies from shutting down the Aggies completely. Chris and Scott talked about their favorite players of the game, starting with Jonah Coleman and his four first-half touchdowns (five overall!), as well as how rock-solid Demond Williams was with his decision-making all night long. Then they turned to the defense to talk about their difference-makers. They also went through all the true freshmen that have played so far this season. There's 10 in all, including four that made their UW debuts tonight; Chris Lawson, Champ Taulealea, Ramonz Adams, and D'Aryhian Clemons. And they also gave their final thoughts on the game and especially how it plays into how the Huskies will work during their BYE week leading into their Apple Cup game in Pullman in two weeks' time.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down their Colorado State thoughts after further review and also offered up their insights into the main things to watch tonight as the Washington Huskies square off with top-5 FCS foe, the UC Davis Aggies. They go through a thorough recap of what they saw on tape in Washington's 38-21 win over the Rams, starting with quarterback Demond Williams, then the OL, TE, WR, and finally the running backs. After a quick break they turn the tables and talk about the defense and what they hope to see in terms of area of improvement from game one to game two. And Kim asks the guys; who do they expect to be Washington's leading rusher, receiver, and tackler? Scott offers up a quick recruiting update in terms of players expected to be at Husky Stadium tonight (hint: it's mostly going to be 2027 and 2028 prospects), and they also talk about the recent hoops offer to top TE prospect Tytan McNeal from Eastside Catholic. Now having been offered by the Huskies for both football and basketball, which sport is likely going to be his best at the next level. The guys finish up the pregame podcast with their final thoughts, including the fact that the Aggies will be playing in front of a Husky Stadium crowd that will roughly be 15 times the size the one they just saw in their road win at Utah Tech.

The Washington Huskies turn their attention to UC Davis after a 17-point victory over the Colorado State Rams. In this edition of The Mac and Mounger Show, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger kick things off assigning a report card grade for Washington's week one performance. Afterwards, each highlights two storylines they are tracking heading into Saturday's tilt with the Aggies, an FCS squad that ranks in the top five nationally. Both former interns are intrigued to see how Washington's defensive front plays after struggling to contain the run in the first half and failing to bring the quarterback down in the backfield until the second half in last week's game. They will then get into their Bet to Bark segment, predicting a player on each side of the ball to stand out in Saturday's game. Three of the four players selected are freshman on this young and talented squad. Next, Jack and Luke dive into the Betting B1G Segment, where the latter has developed an early lead in their season long competition. Will the older of the two podcasters continue his reign of dominance in game handicapping, or will Jack strike back this week? You'll have to tune in to find out. Lastly, each will assign a numerical value to their confidence level that Washington will improve to 2-0 on this young 2026 campaign.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - stayed up way past their bedtimes to make sure they got their thoughts recorded after Washington's 38-21 win over the Colorado State Rams in the Huskies' season-opener Saturday night at Husky Stadium. The win, the first ever for quarterback Demond Williams Jr. as a starter, was also Washington's 21st-straight home win, a record they hope to build on next weekend against UC Davis. To start the show, the guys naturally gravitated toward the offensive side of the ball. It was there where Washington truly shined, going for 509 total yards, including 283 yards on the ground. That would have been the most yards on the ground last season too. Jonah Coleman almost broke his career mark as he ran 24 times for 177 yards and two scores. Williams added 68 yards on his own. The guys talked about the ability of the Huskies to be able to run, starting with that revamped offensive line, one that included a start from true freshman left guard John Mills. They also talked about Williams' winning performance. The sophomore signal caller was 18-24 for 226 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. After a quick break the talk turned the defense, a group that struggled out of the gate to contain CSU QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and RB Jalen Dupree. But by the second half the Huskies' new look scheme and first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Walters had things dialed in, allowing only 105 total second-half yards, including minus-6 yards on the ground. There were a few standouts, including the play of the game by Makell Esteen, the stellar overall play of NAU transfer safety Alex McLaughlin, and Chris and Scott's defensive player of the game, Jacob Lane. The junior EDGE finished with five tackles, including two tackles for loss, and was the one guy in the first half that really seemed to taste some success while others along the front struggled a bit.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together first thing this morning to preview the first game of the 2025 season for the Washington Huskies. The Colorado State Rams rumble into Husky Stadium for an 8 pm local start, so there's plenty of time for UW fans to tailgate and listen to our preview show. To start, the guys talk about the depth chart that was released by the school, and especially those players who were listed as 'OR', including battles at left guard, receiver, and more. After a break the guys talk about the Rams and also a couple of players on both sides of the ball Washington fans should focus on as players that could break through or newcomers that need to be watched. They also talk about Washington's new-look special teams, led by first-year STC Chris Petrilli and his assistant, Greg Froelich. And Kim has an 'x' factor Washington fans should pay attention to when looking at areas for immediate improvement from last season. Scott gives a recruiting update as there will be a bunch of recruits and committed players at the game tonight, and the guys offer up their final thoughts on what they expect to see between the Huskies and Rams.

As the Washington Husky Football team prepares to take on Colorado State, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger take the microphone to set the stage. In this edition of The Mac and Mounger Show, each share two storylines that they will be watching closely when Jedd Fisch's Dawgs take on Jay Norvel's Rams.  Among the topics discussed are how Washington will balance establishing rhythm in the passing game for true sophomore Demond Williams, while still trying to find an identity on the ground against a team that has given up four-plus yards per carry in each of the past four seasons. Additionally, the two former interns pick a player on each side of the ball they anticipate will have a stand-out performance in Saturday's season opener. Furthermore, each presents three betting lines involving B1G teams and their opinion on the correct side. Teams featured in this week's Betting B1G include the Ohio State Buckeys, the Oregon Ducks, the Michigan Wolverines, and more.  Finally, Jack and Luke share their confidence interval that the Huskies will take care of business in week 1.

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger are back at it again with their second installment of The Mac and Mounger Show. This week, they each pick two storylines that have developed over the course of fall camp that they are eager to monitor as the season progresses.  Afterwards, they debut their three "gimmicky" segments that they will be gifting their listeners each week. The first of which is Bets to Bark. Normally, Jack and Luke will pick one player from each side of the ball that they expect to stand out for the upcoming game. With no game scheduled for this weekend, they each select a player they expect to have a breakout type season on offense and defense. Jack and Luke were on a similar wave length for their selected defensive standouts; however, their choices on offense inspired some debate over a position group with a wealth of options that is in need of someone to separate themselves from the pack.  Next, they kick off their "Betting B1G" portion. Normally, each former intern will pick three of their favorite bets across B1G play for the week; however, with this being Week 0, they instead make three Win Total plays for the year. Jack and Luke will be tracking their Betting B1G performance throughout the year. The loser will be held accountable in a way that is still to be determined and will be announced in next week's episode. Please do not let Kim Grinolds suggest the punishment. Lastly, the duo rolls out the Confidence Interval segment. This will typically be a period of the show where Jack and Luke put a numeric value to their confidence the Huskies will will their upcoming game on a scale of 1-10. This week, they both use that same scale to define their confidence level that Washington will exceed its 7.5 win total that many sports books are forecasting for the Dawgs.

Now that fall camp is closed to the media, the Dawgman guys - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund go in-depth with their observations on Washington's depth on the defensive side of the ball. They did the same for the offense yesterday, so now it's time to check out how things look on the other side, as well as with their special teams. Starting with the defensive linemen, they work their way down the recent two-deeps that they released this week. Some of the sub-topics discussed were the EDGEs and who is going to step up, the depth at defensive line and how DL Coach Jason Kaufusi will use them, how some of the current players coming back from injury like Jayvon Parker, Jacob Manu, and Zaydrius Rainey-Sale could be used, how the transfers and true freshmen are impacting the defensive backs room, who won jobs on special teams under the charge of new coordinator Chris Petrilli, and more.

Now that fall camp is closed to the media, the Dawgman guys - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund go in-depth with their observations on Washington's depth on the offensive side of the ball. Starting with the quarterbacks, they work their way down the recent two-deeps that they released this week. Some of the sub-topics discussed were the differences between the QB succession plan last year compared to now, the running backs behind Jonah Coleman, the battle at left guard between Paki Finau and John Mills, the use of tight end Kade Eldridge, and who is going to step up behind Denzel Boston at receiver.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - hit on a number of topics that came out of UW's 90-minute scrimmage, held Saturday night in front of roughly 1000 fans inside Husky Stadium. Among the topics discussed: Was the offense bad? And if so, does that mean the defense was good? And how much can you actually take from a scrimmage where basically every single play was scripted?  The left guard battle between John Mills and Paki Finau. The receiver depth, including the two true frosh that led them in catches Saturday night (Dezmen Roebuck and Raiden Vines-Bright). The emergence of Kade Eldridge and bringing back the fullback. The two interceptions forced by true freshmen Dylan Robinson and Rylon Dillard-Allen. Would they have both been 40-yard pick-sixes in an actual game? Some bright spots for the offense in the red zone? Plenty of Special Teams work.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund - were at Washington's 13th fall practice early Friday morning, held inside the Dempsey due to rainy skies. With Jedd Fisch and the UW coaches now firmly in 'game week' mode, the practice was more of a one where the Huskies did their work in shoulder pads and shorts, working on cleaning things up and installing more things UW fans can expect to see Saturday night during their second 'mock game' of fall camp. They talked about what they saw on both sides of the line of scrimmage, but three main storylines on offense caught a lot of their attention. The first was the return of Denzel Boston was a focal point, as was the return of another receiver, Dezmen Roebuck, who missed Thursday's practice. The second storyline; how much will Roebuck play this year? Is he a certainly to burn his redshirt? And the other storyline that has certainly developed over the course of fall is the battle at left guard between Paki Finau and John Mills. The redshirt frosh had the job at the end of spring, but the true freshman Mills has continued to just get better and better by the practice to where it's now basically a dead heat between the two. The battle has been at a point now where the coaches alternate series between Finau and Mills with the first team. And an additional subplot; who makes up the full 8-man rotation? The guys feel good about the first six (the four constant starters plus Finau/Mills) but who are shoe-ins for those other two slots? All the competition is simply showing the Huskies are in a great spot heading into Saturday's mock game, even if today's practice was the 13th. And even if it did take place on a Friday.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger unveil their first podcast under a new name, Mac and Mounger, for the 2025 season. In this 33-minute collaboration, the Dawgman lifelong interns share their rankings of each position group as the Washington Husky Football team prepares for their second year under Jedd Fisch. They swear they didn't share their lists before recording; however, their lists are eerily similar with a few discrepancies that spark debate. Nevertheless, Jack and Luke unpack the depth, upside, and star power the Dawgs bring to the table at each spot. Throughout this season, Jack and Luke will have a weekly podcast underscoring storylines for the week. Also, they will have three recurring segments: Bets to Bark - one player from each side of the ball to pop in the upcoming game. Betting B1G - three of their favorite plays for that week in B1G football. Confidence Interval - their level of confidence that the Washington Huskies will win that weekend's football game.

Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch, and even Denzel Boston himself, said that he was going to be returning on Thursday to full work, and that's exactly what happened. The 6-foot-4 junior receiver was in full pads with the rest of his Husky teammates and he sparked the offense to a much better showing than they've had all week to date. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked about Boston's return in their daily post-practice podcast, as well as some of the other receivers that showed up. There were some players missing today too that hadn't missed any of fall camp to date, players like Dezmen Roebuck, Logan Sagapolu, Anthony Ward, and Tacario Davis. Were they just given the day off to rest and recover, or is something else going on? No matter what the reason, there were a number of players that stepped up in their place and make their own case for playing time. For example, with no Davis, that meant true freshman Dylan Robinson was asked to take first-team reps alongside Ephesians Prysock, and Robinson came up with the only takeaway of the day. And Anthony Ward wasn't available today, paving the way for true freshman Donovan Robinson to get his reps with the second team alongside Xe'Ree Alexander. With no Roebuck, that allowed other younger receivers like Justice Williams and Luke Gayton to get more turns, and they took full advantage as they both scored touchdowns. There was also a practice-ending field goal session from 57-yards out, the longest any of us could ever remember those kicks being tried. Both Grady Gross and Ethan Moczulski made at least one from that distance.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were at the east field Wednesday to watch Day 11 of fall camp for the Washington Huskies, and it felt a lot more like the normal give and take we've seen before Tuesday's practice that was dominated by the defense. That doesn't mean the defense didn't get their licks in; they did. They were able to force a few turnovers, something that has to please new Huskies DC Ryan Walters. Kim and Chris talked about the defense getting theirs while the offense got back in the swing of things mainly through their receivers - Raiden Vines-Bright, Rashid Williams, Omari Evans, and Audric Harris chief among them. And Decker DeGraaf once again showed the world why he should be taken seriously as a deeper threat despite being a tight end. And the battle at left guard between Paki Finau and true freshman John Mills has been fully joined as both were splitting time equally with the ones and twos. And defensively, even though the shoulder pads and shorts practice was done mostly in thud tempo during the team periods, there were still some touch sacks and activity around the line of scrimmage that made life tougher for Demond Williams and Kai Horton. Ephesians Prysock, Vincent Holmes, and Makell Esteen all came up with thefts today, Esteen's taking place during an install period when he was going up against Dash Beierly and the scout team. And Alex McLaughlin continues to establish himself as a safety to be reckoned with.  And special teams gets a note too, as Luke Dunne had a period where he skied some knuckle punts at Denzel Boston and Kevin Green, and the knuckle action definitely got the best of Green on at least one rep.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Washington's Day 10 practice (Day 11 if you count Sunday's walkthrough) on Tuesday under sweltering Seattle skies. And for whatever reason, the Huskies' Offense just wasn't really on the same page for all of the nearly 150-minute practice. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was just getting back to work in full pads after a three-hour practice/scrimmage on Saturday night, maybe it's because UW is truly now in the Dawg Days of fall camp... either way, the defense definitely looked the sharper. Jedd Fisch said one of the takeaways from Saturday's scrimmage was there there weren't any takeaways, but that definitely changed today. Tacario Davis had two interceptions and Makell Esteen one, as the senior safety was back at work after taking the scrimmage off. It was also good to see Geirean Hatchett back and fully participating after having a bit of a scare during Saturday's scrimmage. And it wasn't all doom and gloom for the offense; Audric Harris, Chris Lawson, and Rashid Williams all had moments on Tuesday that they'll build on. But generally-speaking there were just too many drops and too many plays made by the defense on a day where the team periods were designed to get the ball in the air.

A lot was going on Saturday night in Seattle, but for those die-hard Dawg fans who jonesing for some football? They were treated to a long scrimmage inside Husky Stadium, one that UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch lasted roughly 120 plays, as well as 20 or so special teams plays. The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - were on hand to watch all of it from the beginning warmup to the practice-ending gassers, and they talked about their highlights during this 40-minute review podcast. The main talking point of the night was the apparent injury to right guard Geirean Hatchett. He was able to walk off the field with some help, and later came back putting weight on both feet without issue. Fisch told the assembled media after practice that they think there's nothing to be concerned about long-term for Geirean, so that's fantastic news. But that certainly put the guard rotation into a bit of a mix for the true freshmen - John Mills and Champ Taulealea - as well as redshirt freshman Paki Finau. Chris and Scott went through the players they thought stood out on the night on both sides of the ball, players that they both ended up agreeing on and also gave their thoughts on some of the linemen on both sides of the ball that had really good moments during a scrimmage that was, at times live to the ground but mostly 'thud' tempo. After a quick break they moved to the special teams, where fans got to see a lot of both Grady Gross kicking and Oregon transfer Luke Dunne punting. The guys also talked about their picks for who might end up being the main punt and kick returners for the Huskies based on what they saw. Chris rolled through the main (and very unofficial) offensive stats that he took during the scrimmage, and then the guys talked about the true frosh they expect will burn their redshirts because they've already shown that the coaches won't be able to keep them off the field.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down their thoughts from a spirited Day 8 of fall camp, held under beautiful Friday Seattle skies completely on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The guys started today's podcast with a bit of a look forward to Saturday night's scrimmage. And offensively, a couple of the younger receivers had big days that they talked about. Who has Demond found the most in camp so far? Moving to the defensive side, as it has been all week long starting with true freshman safety Rylon Dillard-Allen starting bits with receivers like Kevin Green and Omari Evans, today it was receiver Chris Lawson that was happy to take up the baton and figuratively shove it in Ramonz Adams' face. Adams retaliated, some of the freshmen linemen intervened, and just like that - practice was over. Vincent Holmes also engaged in a little something that got an immediate retaliation from some of the offensive linemen. It was good to see Lawson back with a full day of practice under his belt after spending almost all of camp up to this point doing half of practice with the team and the other half conditioning. To finish off the podcast, the guys talked about the special teams work being done, the person of new Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli, how he got to Montlake, and more.

The weather may not have been conducive to a productive practice, but that's why Washington has an indoor facility. So the Huskies moved inside on Thursday to the Dempsey to take part in Day 7 of fall camp. And while the first part of practice was very quiet and business-like, as soon as the horn sounded for that first team scrimmage period, the intensity went way up, as did the hitting. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down what they saw during a day where both the offense and defense got their licks in during a day where more scrimmaging took place than during the previous days. To start, the guys naturally went to the offensive side of the ball, focusing first on the offensive line. True frosh John Mills is getting more time at the ones and the battle between him and Paki Finau has truly been joined. There was some really good work by the tight ends today, especially USC transfer Kade Eldridge, and with Marcus Harris, Kevin Green, and Raiden Vines-Bright not available there were a couple receivers that really took advantage of their turns, namely Dezmen Roebuck and Justice Williams. After a quick break the guys then focus their attentions toward the defense. And who else could it be but freshman safety Rylon Dillard-Allen? Batman once again made waves by getting into it with another offensive lineman, this time it was Drew Azzopardi, after RDA unceremoniously dumped one of the receivers to the turf. He has shown to play on that razor's edge for a few days now, and even the NFL scouts on hand were paying attention to it. Another defensive back that stood out was NAU transfer Alex McLaughlin, whose day was highlighted by a TFL on Adam Mohammed and a pick where he had to display his cat-quick reflexes to bring in a pass that was wildly deflected to the middle of the field. Michigan transfer Hayden Moore moved from ILB to EDGE during spring and he's really starting to emerge as a player the coaches want a good look at this fall. With Zach Durfee unavailable today for some reason, it allowed Moore even more turns to prove his worth and he's definitely taking advantage of his opportunities. The guys also saw live punting for the first time all camp and they talked a little bit about what they saw from Oregon transfer Luke Dunne, what he's being asked to do by Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli, and how well he pulled it off. Before the guys' final thoughts, Kim talked a bit about hoops, as the men had another media day with Danny Sprinkle, Quimari Peterson, Jacob Ognacevic, and Franck Kepnang. He relayed some of the things Sprinkle talked about (full quotes will be available later tonight), and he also provided a funny anecdote about Peterson and a potential new nickname.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand Tuesday morning to watch the Washington Huskies go through their first full pads practice of fall camp, and it was a long one, well over two-and-a-half hours long. Talk started, as it always does, with the offensive side of the ball, and there were definitely some changes with the full pads coming on. John Mills ramped up his work at the one left guard spot (Paki Finau is still the number one LG), while true freshmen like Dezmen Roebuck and Quaid Carr continued to get more and more turns during the substantial team scrimmage periods that took place. After a quick break the talk turned to the defensive side of the ball, and it was once again true frosh safety Rylon Dillard-Allen that generated most of the conversation. He was involved in the first major dust-up of camp, one that initially took place between him and left tackle Carver Willis after Willis took exception to RDA planting receiver Kevin Green to the turf. When Green got up he made a beeline right toward RDA and the gloves were literally off, as were the helmets. It only took a few seconds for cooler heads to prevail, but considering Green and Dillard-Allen had a bit of a skirmish the day before it wasn't necessarily surprising that things might boil over once the two were in full pads. The guys then talked about the defensive line, guys getting some more run, and also the other true freshmen that are getting more and more turns like cornerback Dylan Robinson, linebacker Donovan Robinson, and EDGE Devin Hyde.
