It's time to talk College Football and the Huskies got a much-needed win over Illinois at home on Saturday. They're on bye next weekend and if they can win out, it's not out of the question to think that they could end up in the CFP. Meanwhile, Jedd Fisch bristled at the idea that he is looking elsewhere with the big program head coaching opportunities that are out there. He's earned the reputation, but we like seeing him scoff at the idea of leaving Montlake. Once again, college football is evolving and now coaches are getting fired and paid out by big donors when they aren't achieving the goal. How long can this last? :30- JACKSON FELTS joins the show ahead of tonight's Sounders game. It's round 1 of the MLS playoffs and the Sounders have a tough matchup with Minnesota in the best of three. :45- Here comes Halloween!

Alex Karaban talks to Matt Norlander to preview the Huskies 2025-2026 season.

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.

Illinois football loses 42-25 to Washington in a game featuring yet another terrible performance from Aaron Henry's defense. Mike Carpenter reacts during the fourth quarter (just after the D gave up a 3rd and 18 - yes, a 3rd and 18) and watched as the Huskies sliced and diced their way down the rain-soaked field with ease. Now 5-3, Bret Bielema's team has to quickly regroup as Rutgers heads into town, while questions about the viability of Henry as defensive coordinator will only get louder.

On Friday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Chris Egan from KING 5 start off the Friday show, minus, the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore who is off traveling to Pullman for Parents Weekend.  Puck and Egan talked about what stage of grief they are in with the Mariners and they have yet to reach the point where they are thankful on the past season.  Once thing they agree on is that this year is not a predictor on next season.  Ownership and front office must be committed to winning in 2026. Once the boys are over talking Mariners, they switch gears to high school sports and discuss the controversy surrounding the Skyline High School football program and the suspension and reinstatement of head coach Peyton Pelluer.   The decision surrounds a group of senior parents upset about playing time and they took their grievances to the school and the school district.   What has unfolded is just an ugly, ugly story of a group of entitled parents having too much influence and a school and school district lacking a backbone.  Pucksports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck to discuss the top games in college football and the NFL.   After Puck wraps up with Troy, he welcomes “Friday Night Lights” with Todd Milles from VarsityWaNews.com to cover and preview all the top games in high school football and Todd shares his reporting and perspective on the situation at Skyline High School.   Puck then heads to High School football with “The Last Word” with Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times to get the latest on the Seahawks.  This past Monday they showed that they truly are championship contenders, but at the same time they do have their warts.  The running game is preventing them from comfortably closing games, why is that happening?  Drake Thomas continues to be a great story for the defense and one of the best stories in the league.   The trade deadline is 10 days away, does Bob anticipate any moves being made for Seattle?Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Once again, parents are trying to ruin high school sports (1:00) Puck and Chris Egan (38:00) TroyWins.com (44:46) Todd Milles, Varsitywanews.com (1:03:25) Bob Condotta, Seattle Times (1:29:14) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

Former interns, Jack and Luke, get together to recap and preview the game. This week's matchup is perplexing.

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.

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.

Is that enough to overcome multiple injuries on the offensive line? Chris Fetters of DawgMan/247Sports gives us the inside scoop on the Huskies on this episode of Behind Enemy Lines.

RUNDOWN   Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night's 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller's Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners' own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely unseen while fans watched baseball on their phones. Add in the Seahawks' 20–12 win over Jacksonville (seven sacks despite missing key defenders), a Kraken overtime winner, and even Humpy the Salmon's long-awaited race victory — and Mitch declares it “the most joy-filled Seattle weekend in decades.” Mitch welcomes Joe Doyle (Over Slot) and Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) after Seattle's gritty 3–1 win to open the ALCS in Toronto — a game nobody expected them to take. The trio break down Bryce Miller's six-inning gem on three days' rest, the early escape that steadied him, and how his righty-righty splitter and held-velocity heater set the tone. They praise the bullpen trio of Spire, Brash, and Muñoz, the clutch base-running by Randy Arozarena, and Cal Raleigh's homer that flipped the energy of the entire series. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN.com) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) after the Seahawks' 20-12 road win over Jacksonville — a cross-country statement built on a revived pass rush and Sam Darnold's continued efficiency. The trio break down Byron Murphy's monster day (2 sacks, 7 pressures), a seven-sack team effort that could've reached double digits, and the coaching adjustments Mike McDonald made one week after the Tampa Bay meltdown. They highlight Darnold's nearly flawless 295-yard, 2-TD outing and debate whether he's already a top-tier QB in the NFC. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after witnessing Indiana's stunning 30–20 win over Oregon in Eugene — the Hoosiers' first-ever road win over a top-five team. Rick praises head coach Kurt Signetti for his “keep-it-inside” defensive discipline and authenticity, calling him “hotter than Texas chili” as Penn State's likely next target after James Franklin's firing. They discuss the money storm brewing in the Big Ten's upcoming $2.4 billion media deal, why booster influence now drives coaching turnover, and how NIL has reshaped the sport's economy. Rick breaks down SEC chaos after Auburn's controversial finish versus Georgia, the Texas rebound behind Steve Sarkisian, and why parity is spreading as defensive-line depth thins across power programs. Mitch “plants his spear” for Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., claiming him for Taco Time's Doing Some Work honors after a 538-yard night, while Rick awards his crispy burritos to Texas A&M's defense — 2-for-33 on third downs over three games.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Greatest Seattle Sports Weekend Ever?
