The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were out on the east field next to Husky Stadium on another glorious Chamber-of-Commerce day in Seattle, this time for Day 11 of Washington's spring football campaign. What did they see? Did they see the offense take some steps toward evening things up in their never-ending battle with the defense? Some of the things that were scripted for practice, like red zone and goal-line situations, should favor the offense, and they were able to take advantage of some things. With Rashid Williams not participating today, it was time for other receivers to step up and be heard. And a couple of them made their return to some team periods, namely Penn State transfer Omari Evans and true freshman Raiden Vines-Bright. On defense, it was Arizona transfer CB Tacario Davis that made his triumphant return to the team periods. The guys talk about their returns and how successful they were in quickly getting back into the swing of things. Scott also provided his take on the biggest news of the day, the flip of top 2026 OL Kodi Greene from Oregon to Washington. Was it expected? Will the former Eastside Catholic lineman stay committed all the way to Signing Day in December? And will his commitment spur on a number of other players to commit to Washington, especially knowing the Huskies have a host of official visitors coming in this weekend?

A 3-game set at Washington is next on the menu for the Huskers as they make a last charge at hosting a regional. Do they have a sweep in them? This week, Husker Heat dives into the first trip to a former Pac-12 park. That's right, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will take on Washington in beautiful Husky Stadium overlooking Lake Washington. We'll also talk about the split with Indiana and the utter meltdown of the coach in the opener. We'll dive into where things sit rankings and RPI-wise and I'm pretty sure Mylie & I will find something to bicker about again.
In the first hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain sit down with Jonah Coleman at Husky Stadium to talk about returning to UW and Jedd Fisch's culture, then listen and react to NBA expansion comments from Adam Silver before having Fun with Audio.
In the first hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Hugh Millen chat with Dawgs football defensive back Ephesians Prysock at Husky Stadium about Spring ball, talk to The Gasman, Mike Gastineau, about UW football, his book, and the NBA in Seattle, before Fun with Audio.
The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down what they saw from Day Five of UW Spring Football, held Thursday afternoon at the Dempsey Indoor Facility next to Husky Stadium. And it was definitely a day for work in the Dempsey because the weather in Seattle couldn't make up its mind. Half the day was sunny and breezy; the other half was flat-out stormy. The guys talk about their standouts on both sides of the ball, starting with the offense and then moving to the defense. With so many players limited or out, it certainly has given opportunities for the younger players, like true freshmen OL John Mills and Champ Taulealea and true frosh WR Chris Lawson. And on defense there were a number of cornerbacks that didn't participate today, which meant guys like Caleb Presley, Rahshawn Clark, D'Aryhian Clemons and Rylon Dillard-Allen were taking even more first and second team reps than normal. After a quick break Scott talks about three unofficial visitors that were spotted at practice and also hints at some news coming down the pike soon in regards to UW's recruiting efforts. And Kim talks a little bit about today's news regarding the return of shooting guard Wesley Yates to Montlake after a year at USC.

The sports enthusiasts predicted back in August that Clark County would have up to two teams playing in Husky Stadium in one of the state championship football games. Turns out, they were correct. This week, we discuss the Class 4A title game, featuring Camas, and the 1A title game, featuring Seton Catholic. Plus we take a look back at the 2004 season when Evergreen became the first big school to win a state football title from Clark County. That team was coached by our own Cale Piland. Our podcast format is simple: A longtime sports reporter (Paul Valencia) discusses high school sports, and more, with longtime sports administrators and former coaches. Cale Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Tony Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River and is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver. We're always interested in subject ideas for a future podcast.

Dawgman.com's Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get into the holiday spirit this week with their Thanksgiving game week preview, but it's not the Apple Cup! Now that both Oregon and Washington are in the Big Ten and Washington State is in the college football wilderness, it's time to turn the page and look at the rivalry between UO and UW as the true big Pacific Northwest rivalry game. But before they go into the meat of the game against the No. 1 Ducks, the guys recap the UCLA win at Husky Stadium that got the Huskies to bowl eligibility. And that chat folds right into one of the big conversations for Washington fans this week; should Demond Williams start at quarterback instead of Will Rogers? The conversation then merges into a breakdown of Washington's defense and what they can try and do to stop a potent Oregon attack, and then the tables are flipped. What can Washington's offense do against Oregon's stout defense, especially their pass rush? After a break, the guys go into the players they expect to shine in their Bet to Bark segment, and then go into their Betting B1G talk where they look at other conference games and compare their season-long predictions. And then to finish up they go into their Confidence Intervals, which measures just how good they are feeling about a Washington win in Eugene.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio for a Halloween edition of the show, previewing the extremely important game between the USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies. Both programs are 4-4 and both need a victory for a realistic shot at making a bowl game and finishing the season on a high note. The Trojans will have their hands full trying to play in Husky Stadium, where UW has an 18-game winning streak going. USC hasn't won a true road game in over a year and would love to finally secure a Big Ten road win, even if it comes against a familiar Pac-12 foe. Washington's strength lies in its pass defense, ranked No. 1 in the FBS. USC likes to throw the ball with Miller Moss but Lincoln Riley could find more success with Woody Marks and the ground game up in Seattle. The Trojans could get some of their injured defensive players back for this game as they try to keep the Huskies offense at bay. UW is one of the top teams in FBS in terms of total offense, but for some reason Washington struggles in the red zone, making point production much lower. The Dawgs are also terrible on special teams, which could provide an opportunity for Zachariah Branch and Makai Lemon in the return game.

The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back to dissect Washington's weekend opponent, and this week it's the USC Trojans. After their loss at Indiana, the Huskies are back to the drawing board to try and figure out a way to get past their current losing streak. And usually when the USC Trojans come into town, that would a recipe for another loss. But these aren't your mother's Trojans. Under Lincoln Riley, they've been downright average the last season-and-a-half. Both Jack and Luke break down the game in general and offer their thoughts on what UW can try and do on both sides of the ball to help slow the Trojans down. How big will Jonah Coleman be in this game, especially after everyone saw Dillon Johnson run wild at USC last season and their run defense hasn't really improved all that much considering opposing offenses are also throwing the ball pretty well against the Trojans. And can UW slow USC down to give the offense enough chances to score touchdowns instead of field goals? USC is currently 16th in the country when it comes to passing offense, and they'll be going up against statistically the best pass defense in the country. Can Washington continue to show they do have one of the best pass defenses in the country, especially when you start to list all the weapons USC quarterback Miller Moss has to throw to? After a quick break, the guys offer up their Bets to Bark - the UW players they expect will impact the game the most - as well as their Betting B1G segment. And then to wrap up the game preview, Jack and Luke offer up their Confidence Intervals. It's how strongly they believe in a UW win. Needless to say, this week's confidence intervals aren't quite at the same level as they have been most of the year, but they do feel a little bit more confident about a home win compared to the last two weeks when the games were away from the friendly confines of Husky Stadium. The guys then quickly give a nod to the UW Men's Basketball team, whose season starts this coming Tuesday against UC Davis.

Send us a textAt the midpoint of the 2024 college football season, Ohio State stands at 5-1 while Michigan is 4-2. Both teams lost in the last two weeks. Andy and Reggie both had a blast at Husky Stadium where Michigan lost, and Reggie and his boys still had a great time at Autzen Stadium despite the close loss. We break it all down.
The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - move on to this week as the Washington Huskies travel east one more time, this time to face off against Iowa with an 11 am local start Saturday morning - 9 am Seattle time. But before they delve into the matchup between the Huskies and Hawkeyes, they start the show off with their thoughts on Washington's 27-17 win over Michigan at Husky Stadium. After putting that game to bed, they then turn their attention to Iowa and what they expect to see at Kinnick Stadium Saturday morning. Is their offense just running back Kaleb Johnson and that's it? And then they move to the Hawkeyes' defense, what scares the guys about that side of the ball and what they think the UW offense can do about it. After a quick break they turn their attention toward their betting segments - Bets to Bark and Betting B1G. And to finish off the show, both Jack and Luke offer their confidence intervals, which is how confident are they feeling about a Washington win?

In this episode of Dawg Talk with Brock, Brock discusses the fast-paced nature of the college football season with the whirlwind ride the Huskies have been on, the electrifying atmosphere of Husky Stadium, and the impressive transition of Steve Belichick from the NFL to college football. He also highlights the differences between the Pac-12 and Big Ten football, emphasizing the challenges the Huskies will face in their upcoming game against Iowa.
The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down the main talking points and storylines that came out of Washington's 27-17 win over No. 10 Michigan Saturday night at Husky Stadium, one that fans will rightly claim as the best win so far for the Huskies, but was it their best-played game? Under the circumstances, there's a lot of evidence to suggest so. After all, they were able to gain over 100 yards on the ground against a Michigan front that had been incredibly stingy giving up yards that way. Washington quarterback Will Rogers threw for 271 yard, albeit with his first interception of the season to go with two touchdowns. And Jonah Coleman, conspicuously absent at the end of the Rutgers loss, was right there when the Huskies needed him most in the fourth quarter, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 6:22 left in the fourth quarter on a throwback play where the running back leaped over defenders to get to the end zone. And finally in the first part of the show the guys talk about the changing that took place along Washington's offensive line, namely along the inside of the OL with D'angalo Titialii, Landen Hatchett, and Gaard Memmelaar. After a quick break, talk turns to one of Washington's biggest contributors - Voi Tunuufi and the fact that he actually played a little offense against the Wolverines, coming out to play a little fullback early in the game. Did he lobby for that, or was there something that Fisch, Brennan Carroll, and others on UW's offense staff saw in Voi that he could impact the game on that side of the ball too? They talk about the real impact moments of the game, starting with the moment Michigan decided to bench starting quarterback Alex Orji and go to Jack Tuttle, a move that paid immediate dividends and forced Washington Defensive Coordinator Steve Belichick to quickly re-evaluate UW's game plan after Michigan scored. But there were no bigger moments for UW than in the fourth quarter, when they came up with two huge turnovers via a Logan Sagapolu fumble recovery of a forced fumble by Tunuufi, and a pick by Kamren Fabiculanan. Grady Gross, who missed one kick in the first half and had another one blocked, came up massive with two made field goals, the last one to salt the game away with just a little over a minute left. To finish the recap, Scott talked about some of the many recruits that were at the game, including the lone 2025 official visitor, OL Peter Langi from Archbishop Riordan in San Francisco. And then the guys ponder what the game will mean as the Huskies move forward with preparations for their next game, at Iowa.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - break down the key talking points on both sides of the ball as the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines travel to Seattle to play Washington at Husky Stadium today with a 4:30 pm scheduled kickoff. In setting the scene, the guys talk about some of the lessons learned from Washington's last game, a 21-18 loss at Rutgers, including their takes on some of the things UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch said about the game and what they took from it. Then it's time to check out the matchup between Washington's offense versus Michigan's defense. Both teams lost so much from the teams that played in January's National Championship game, but the Wolverines were able to keep some continuity, especially on defense - starting with their defensive front. How will Washington attack the visitors, knowing Michigan is statistically one of the best teams in the country at stopping the run? Will they pass to set up the run? And how much will they be able to get out of Jonah Coleman, now that Fisch explained that UW's leading running back was on a bit of a snap count versus Rutgers? After a quick break the guys turn the tables and look at Michigan's offense going up against Washington's defense. Statistically, Michigan is already pretty one-dimensional under new quarterback Alex Orji; can the Huskies under first-year DC Steve Belichick make Michigan even MORE one-dimensional? Chris offered one big statistic with regards to the Wolverines' run game that offered a key that, if Washington can match that key, will give them a huge boost toward that goal. The Michigan Insider's Alejandro Zúñiga also helped us out by giving us some inside intelligence on Washington's opponent. You can read it HERE. The other big piece of this game, other than being the first-ever regular-season matchup of the two teams that played in the previous National Championship Game, is recruiting. According to Scott, the Huskies will likely host over 100 recruits from multiple classes today, with nearly half of them noted as having heavy interest from UW and at least 15 currently committed prospects for the 2025 recruiting class. Arguably the biggest visitor from that committed group is tight end Vander Ploog, who has recently earned scholarship offers from schools like Oregon, Texas A&M, and Alabama. Has that turned Ploog's head? Or will his unofficial visit back to Montlake this weekend be a reminder of all the reasons why he committed to UW in the first place? The other notable recruit on campus will be the Huskies' lone 2025 official visitor, offensive lineman Peter Langi. The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder from Archbishop Riordan in San Francisco, Langi is the highest-rated uncommitted offensive player in Northern California for 2025. To wrap things up, Scott and Chris give their final thoughts and keys to this important matchup with so much riding on the line on the field for UW and off the field in recruiting. In many ways with a Washington win, this game could hold the same kind of importance that the first Oregon win did last season.

The Dawgman.com interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - get going early this week because Washington's game is on Friday. That's right; the Washington Huskies go across the country to play their first-ever Big Ten Conference road game at Rutgers. Game time is 5 pm Pacific Time and is on FOX. But first, the guys go back and give their thoughts on what they saw in Washington's first B1G Conference win, 24-5 over Northwestern at Husky Stadium. And then they jump right into Washington's next opponent, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. There's plenty of connections between the two teams; Jedd Fisch is from New Jersey (Livingston, just northwest from Newark), and defensive coordinator Steve Belichick played at Rutgers under current Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano. The guys previewed the Rutgers offense first, followed by their defense. How do they see the Huskies attacking their opponent on both sides of the ball? After a quick break, Jack and Luke go into their Bets to Bark and Betting B1G. In an attempt to replicate Mike Blowers' famous Matt Tuiasosopo home run prediction against Toronto 15 years to the day when the Huskies play Rutgers this week. And it's a doozy! And before they wrap up their game preview, it's the now-famous confidence interval segment. How confident are Jack and Luke of a Washington win in their first true road game of the 2024 season?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Josh Wodka - huddled together in the visiting coaches booth high above Husky Stadium after Washington's 24-5 win over Northwestern Saturday to break down all the highs and lows that they saw during the game. But what we couldn't do is bury the lede, and that was Washington's defense. They held a Northwestern offense without its leading running back to 112 yards in total offense, almost 250 yards less than their season average to date. They talked about how they got it done, which started with containing Northwestern quarterback Jack Lausch and turning him into a pass-first signal-caller, which is not his strength. They talked about the two goal line stands that resulted in three total points, the NINE drives of five plays or less that Northwestern had on the day, as well as Carson Bruener's day leading the defense with six tackles and an interception, as well as Khmori House's interception. After a quick break, the guys turned their attention to Washington's offense, which still remains a mystery. And as always, it starts with the offensive line, and in particular the snapping issues that continue to plague them. How much of it is on the centers? How much of it is on the quarterback? They talked about Jonah Coleman's day running the ball against a very stingy Northwestern run defense, his high hurdle that should be hung immediately in the Louvre, and also Denzel Boston's big day as Will Rogers' main target. And dare we talk about Washington's cover teams? We try to keep it as brief as possible, as the results kind of speak for themselves. The guys then give their final thoughts as Washington now looks to take their act on the road to Rutgers on short rest. They play Friday night in New Jersey. SPOILER: some of the Dawgman guys aren't predicting a Washington road win. But before they signed off, Chris had one question; has the defense shown enough of itself that the rest of the team can rely on them to the point where they have become the dominant identity? Put another way, is Washington now just Iowa with a little better, but inconsistent, offense?

It was a rough weekend, but the Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - have tried their best to live the 24 Hour Rule and move on to the Washington Huskies' next opponent, the Northwestern Wildcats. But they had to take a minute first to exorcise some demons via analysis after Washington State's 24-19 Apple Cup win over the Huskies at Lumen Field. Were there any positives the guys saw that might carry over for the rest of the season? Then they look ahead to what they expect to see from the Wildcats, who are also 2-1, with a loss to Duke sandwiched between wins over Miami (OH) and Eastern Illinois. After a quick break to pay some bills, it's their Bets to Bark during the game, followed by the 'Betting B1G' segment where they take a look up and down the conference slate and offer their thoughts on who might show up in the win column this weekend. It sounds like last week's Betting B1G segment should have been called Missing B1G, but hopefully they'll rectify that this weekend with some better calls. And finally they wrap things up with their confidence interval. How confident are they in a Washington win Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium?

How did we get here? How is it that the Apple Cup, a Thanksgiving staple for decades and decades, is now being played in the middle of September? And will anyone outside of the state of Washington even care? The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - contemplated those very questions, and also got into what they expect to see from both Washington and Washington State in this pregame show. The game, to be played at Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, today at 12:30 pm PT, is the result of a five-year deal agreed to by both schools after the dissolution of the Pac-12, something many Washington State fans still haven't gotten over. They'll play the Apple Cup in Pullman in 2025 and 2027, with the return fixture at Husky Stadium in 2026 and 2028. So what to make of things moving forward? And will there even be an Apple Cup after 2028? Will there be a Pac-12 as we know it by then? The guys talk about those questions as well as the recent news that Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State are joining Oregon State and Washington State to create the newest incarnation of the Pac-12. A Six Pac, if you will. After a break to pay some bills, the guys start to break down the actual game. Will Washington State find a way to stop Jonah Coleman and put the game squarely on the shoulders of UW QB Will Rogers? And looking at the other side, will Steve Belichick find success scheming out John Mateer, the talented dual-threat WSU QB? He's already thrown for 350 yards in one game and ran for nearly 200 yards in the other, so that will be a tall task. Is there a way to take away one dimension from Mateer's game? Scott follows up with a quick recruiting update (Brandon Huffman had a story this week on how neither team will be able to comp recruits tickets to this neutral site game as part of their recruiting strategy), and then the guys offer up their final thoughts before kickoff.

It's Rivalry Week!No, that is not a typo and yes, it's Rivalry Week in the Pacific Northwest and in the Pac-12 Conference. For the first time ever, these 2 games will be played in September.The Oregon State Beavers host the Oregon Ducks in the 128th meeting of the game formerly known as the Civil War. This is the 7th most played match-up in college football history and tied for 2nd at the FBS level.The Washington State Cougars and the Washington Huskies meet up at Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, in the 116th Apple Cup. This will be the 2nd time this matchup will take place in this stadium as the renovation of Husky Stadium forced the move in 2011.And with realignment still fresh in all four fan bases minds, there is even more spice added to these epic rivalries. It's human nature and it's part of the new world of college football.I've been at both of these games over the years and was on the broadcast for an Oregon State/Oregon game just a few years ago. The energy is different, the passion is through the roof and the distaste for one another is exactly what you'd imagine.This year, it's safe to assume that the vitriol from the Cougs and Beavs fan bases will be even higher.We've been saying for months now that the Cougs and Beavs are America's Teams, and this weekend the nation gets to see them on a grand stage. Washington State is fresh off a dominant win over the Big-12's Texas Tech, where the legendary coach Mike Leach was inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame. The Beavs also sit at 2-0 and are playing exactly how Trent Bray hopes - controlling the clock, running the rock and winning at the line of scrimmage.So welcome to Week 3 as we welcome in first year head coach Trent Bray to the show for a thoughtful conversation, presented by our founding partner 76, about his team in advance of the #9 Oregon Ducks.This Saturday will be his 14th meeting as a member of this rivalry, 4 as a player and 9 as a coach. His expertise in this game is unmatched among anyone associated with it this year and he shared with us exactly how he is talking to his team about this game, what Reser Stadium will feel like at kickoff and how his team has approached the week of preparation. Also, Jim Thornby and I reflect on what went down in Week 2 on the West Coast and how this side of the country is picking up where it left off last year – winning –as Cal, ASU and others earned key victories over the weekend. Be sure to check out our weekly Go Go Go Awards, presented by 76 as we will announce those each Monday this fall. As always, thank you for the support around this new endeavor, it's been better than we could have imagined and it's not possible without your support!This episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor Ren.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - poured through their notebooks to talk about the main storylines after Washington's 30-9 win over Mid-American Conference foe Eastern Michigan Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium. It was a game that had bogey game written all over it, especially given Northern Illinois' upset of Notre Dame, but Washington handled the Eagles well after the first three drives of the game. For the second-straight week the Huskies did not coming out firing in the first quarter, eventually finding their footing during the second quarter and scoring on five-straight drives after punting on their first three possessions. The guys talked offense first, the slow start, the day had by Will Rogers and Demond Williams getting mixed in at quarterback from time to time, how OC Brennan Carroll devised his offensive line rotations, starting with Zachary Henning as a sixth lineman to take the place of the injured tight end Quentin Moore, as well as the days had the running backs and the receivers. Jonah Coleman had his second 100-yard game in as many weeks, and Jeremiah Hunter finished with five catches after getting skunked against Weber State. Chris had some choice words on the Big Ten officiating crew after that - not so much the subjective calls that were made (despite some being pretty bad), but more about the game management and their mechanics. It was clear Washington's offense was frustrated at times with their delay in spotting the ball, for instance. It was not their best game. After a quick break to pay some bills, the chat turned to the defensive side of the ball, starting with Zach Durfee, who finished the game with five tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Durfee was listed as 'questionable' going into the game, but he spearheaded a UW defensive attack that finished with 7 overall sacks and a forced fumble - the first turnover of the season. Scott gave a quick recruiting update to note the prospects he saw at the game, and then the guys offered up their final thoughts as now the Huskies head into Apple Cup week.

Right before Mother Nature put on a show of her own in the form of numerous thunderstorms ripping through the Seattle-Tacoma area, the Washington Huskies put on their show in Husky Stadium in front of roughly 2000 fans. It was billed as a 'mock game' but it was really more of a thud-tempo scrimmage of about 80 plays, if you include special teams. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Harlan Grady - made it safely to the media room underneath Husky Stadium, and while thunder and lightning bombarded the area they gave their thoughts on the mock game itself, what stood out, what Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch had to say about the night, and what Washington fans can look forward to now that the media will not be going to practices or any interview sessions until Monday, August 26 - the Monday before the Weber State opener. Chris put together some very crude individual stats to show just how well the offense had done (hint: Will Rogers had a VERY nice night), but there was some needed context to those numbers, which was provided. The special teams also got a bit of chat, especially the kicking of Grady Gross and the potential battle at punter between Jack McCallister and Adam Saul.

A Veteran in Customer Experience Innovation We welcome Mark Honeycutt to this week's episode of the Digitally Irresistible podcast. Mark has enjoyed a distinguished career, marked by significant contributions to the fields of technology, retail, and service. With over 25 years of experience, he has built a solid reputation for creating exceptional customer experiences at iconic brands such as Amazon and Microsoft. Mark has been involved in three major waves of customer care evolution. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he was at the forefront of leveraging third-party companies, known as business process outsourcing (BPO) providers, to deliver customer experience solutions. Following this, he played a pivotal role during the offshoring wave, where customer care operations were relocated to different parts of the world to optimize costs and efficiency. In this episode, we delve into Mark's expertise and explore the best practices for integrating automation in customer support to enhance the overall customer experience. Join us as we uncover the dynamics of this third wave with one of its most seasoned pioneers. Embracing the Third Wave of Customer Care and the Impact of Generative AI and Conversational Technologies Mark identifies the current era as the "third wave" of customer care, driven by advancements in generative AI and enhanced conversational capabilities. This wave marks a significant shift toward a “tech first” engagement approach, revolutionizing how companies interact with their customers. As technology continues to evolve, it brings both opportunities and challenges, requiring a strategic balance between automation and human touch. Despite these technological advancements, one fundamental aspect remains constant: customer expectations. Customers still prioritize having their issues resolved quickly and efficiently while being treated with respect. This unchanging need underscores the importance of designing customer care solutions that meet these timeless expectations, regardless of the technological tools employed. Leveraging Technology for Better Customer Engagement The introduction of generative AI and advanced workflows enables two primary approaches: bots and agent assistance. Bots aim to handle customer engagements entirely through automation, providing swift and consistent responses. On the other hand, agent assistance focuses on reducing the cognitive load on human agents, improving their efficiency and compliance during customer interactions. This hybrid approach augments operational efficiency and ensures complex issues are seamlessly transitioned to human agents when necessary. Rethinking customer engagement with a technology-first approach involves meticulous planning and workflow design. Key considerations include determining when to involve human agents and which technologies to implement. Companies must strike a balance between automation and human intervention, minimizing customer friction while maximizing the benefits of both bots and human agents. Measuring customer satisfaction across these different touchpoints is crucial to refining and optimizing the customer experience. While technology will play a more direct role in customer interactions, human agents will continue to be an integral part of the equation. Augmented by AI, agents will be better equipped to handle complex issues, offering a higher quality of service. The integration of AI in every customer contact is imminent, making it essential for companies to plan and implement these technologies thoughtfully. Characterized by the integration of generative AI and advanced conversational AI technologies , the third wave of customer care presents exciting opportunities for enhancing customer engagement. By thoughtfully implementing these technologies and maintaining a focus on core customer expectations, companies can navigate this transformation effectively. Aligning Metrics and Strengthening Customer Satisfaction With Technology-First Approaches One of the key themes Mark emphasizes is the importance of maintaining consistency in metrics between technology solutions and agent-assisted support. While the terminology may differ, the core objectives remain the same: ensuring a seamless workflow and unified measurement system across both types of interactions. Issue resolution from the customer's perspective is paramount. A common mistake some companies make is relying too heavily on customer behavior metrics as their primary customer satisfaction (CSAT) measure, which can leave blind spots. Instead, a straightforward approach should be maintained: whether the care is provided through a bot or a live agent, the primary goal is to resolve the customer's issue quickly and efficiently. Key Metrics for Agent Assist Tools When implementing AI-driven support systems, several metrics are crucial for assessing their impact on agent performance and overall operational efficiency: · Speed to Proficiency: This metric measures the speed at which new agents reach a competent level of performance. By tracking how quickly agents become proficient, organizations can determine the effectiveness of their training programs and the support provided by AI tools. · Average Handle Time (AHT): AHT is a standard metric in customer service, representing the average duration an agent spends on a single interaction. AI-driven assist tools aim to reduce AHT by providing agents with timely information and suggested responses, thus enabling quicker resolution of customer queries. · Dispersion of Handle Time: Another essential aspect to monitor is the dispersion of handle time, which refers to the variation in handle times among agents. Reducing this dispersion indicates that the performance gap between the best and worst-performing agents is narrowing, suggesting that AI tools are helping to standardize and elevate agent performance across the board. With a technology-first approach, additional metrics need to be incorporated to reflect the nuances of automated interactions. These metrics, while using new terms, mirror traditional agent-assisted measures: · Containment Rates: Equivalent to first contact resolution (FCR), indicating the percentage of engagements fully handled by bots without requiring agent intervention. · Fallout Rates: Similar to call abandon rates, reflecting instances where customers drop out of the workflow. · Time in the Bot: Corresponds to the level-of-effort metric, measuring the duration and ease of customer interactions with the bot. While concurrency is less critical in pure automation scenarios, it also remains an essential metric for agent-assisted interactions. Tools such as agent scripting technology and nudging cues play a significant role in helping agents manage multiple engagements simultaneously, thereby enhancing efficiency and customer experience. By closely monitoring these metrics, organizations can gauge the effectiveness of these tools and make data-driven decisions to further optimize their customer service strategies. Balancing Voice and Text in Multi-Channel Customer Engagement A significant aspect of modern customer care is the shift toward multi-channel and omnichannel engagement. Customer interactions now span multiple channels, such as chat, voice calls, SMS, or email. Effective customer service strategies must seamlessly integrate these channels to ensure a cohesive experience. Customer Preference and Flexibility A key aspect of successful customer engagement is allowing customers to choose their preferred communication channel. While companies can guide customers toward certain channels, it is essential to meet customers where they are most comfortable. Flexibility in engagement methods fosters a positive customer experience and reinforces the customer's sense of control and satisfaction. Integrating Voice and Text in Automation Strategies Despite the rise of digital communication channels, voice remains the predominant medium for customer contact. However, implementing voice automation comes with unique challenges compared to text-based solutions. Voice interactions can be complicated by factors such as dialect variations, background noise, and line quality issues. These challenges require sophisticated technology and careful planning to ensure that voice delivers a reliable and effective customer experience. This is why it is crucial to include both voice and text options. For instance, a customer might start with a phone call and receive follow-up communications via SMS or email. Ensuring that both voice and text interactions are effectively managed and integrated into the overall customer service strategy is essential for a holistic approach to customer engagement. Navigating the Challenges of Integrating Technology in Customer Service Operations Mark identifies a significant challenge in the current wave of customer care: the need to effectively integrate advanced technologies with traditional customer service operations. Operations leaders are experts in managing customer experiences and executing call center operations. They excel in engaging with agents to deliver outstanding customer service. The rapid advancement of technology, exemplified by innovations like ChatGPT, has introduced new complexities that require a strong collaboration with the technology side. Understanding and Addressing Technology Deficits Operations leaders know what they want to achieve and have a clear vision of how to implement these changes within their business. In-house technology teams are typically overwhelmed with existing projects and demands, ranging from outdated code and security requirements to compliance with federal regulations. These constraints create a tech deficit, where the timelines for implementing new technologies are tight and often challenging to meet. Collaboration for Successful Integration Successful integration of new technologies into customer service operations necessitates close collaboration between operations and technology teams. This collaboration involves: · Clear Communication: Ensuring that both sides understand the goals and requirements of new technologies. · Prioritization: Aligning technology projects with business priorities to manage the tech deficit effectively. · Resource Management: Allocating the necessary resources to address both existing tech demands and the implementation of new solutions. · Continuous Learning: Encouraging ongoing education and adaptation to keep pace with technological advancements. Fostering strong collaboration and addressing the tech deficit allows companies to effectively integrate advanced solutions into their customer care operations. This approach ensures that technological advancements enhance the delivery of exceptional customer experiences. A Three-Step Approach to Implementing Automation in CX Step 1: Analytics The first step in implementing automation in customer service is a thorough analysis of current operations. This involves understanding what has traditionally been done by human agents and identifying the major contact drivers. Mark emphasizes the need to dissect and analyze high-level workflows that agents typically handle. The analytics phase requires breaking down these workflows into detailed steps to identify various elements that need to be automated. This foundational step sets the stage for effective automation by ensuring that all critical aspects of customer interactions are accounted for. Step 2: Development and Testing Once the analytics phase is complete, the next step involves developing and testing the automation solutions. This phase is critical as it transforms the insights gained from analytics into actionable plans and functional systems. In the development stage, teams create a detailed roadmap and development plan. This includes designing the automation workflows and programming the necessary components. Thorough testing follows, ensuring that the automated systems function correctly and meet the desired objectives before they are publicly deployed. Step 3: Post-Deployment Measurement and Efficiency The final step in the automation implementation process is post-deployment measurement and evaluation. This phase focuses on assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the deployed automation solutions. Once the workflows and automation are live, measure their performance against predefined metrics. This includes evaluating customer fallout rates, understanding why customers abandon bots, and deciding whether to enhance the existing workflows or move on to new contact drivers. The goal is to ensure that the automation achieves its intended outcomes and continuously improves over time. A key consideration in this process is maintaining consistent metrics across both automated and agent-assisted interactions. Using the same customer satisfaction and success measurements for both automation and human agents helps gain true insights into the effectiveness of the customer service operations. Practical Examples of Leveraging Automation for Cost-Effective Issue Resolution Utilizing Interaction Analytics for Quality Assurance and Customer Insights Mark shares a practical example of how customer care leaders can effectively deploy automation to drive cost-effective issue resolution, emphasizing the importance of interaction analytics. In one of his larger operations, Mark leveraged this for both quality assurance (QA) and voice of the customer (VoC) insights. With a large offshore population, one of the significant challenges was language skills and understandability. By implementing interaction analytics, the company could evaluate tens of thousands of contacts daily and identify representative insights and coaching opportunities in near real-time. Furthermore, interaction analytics helped in understanding customer reactions to controversial company policies. Instead of relying on filtered reports, agents could directly listen to customer comments, providing unvarnished insights that informed policy adjustments and improved customer relations. Interaction analytics play a pivotal role in capturing and analyzing customer interactions. These analytics help in understanding customer sentiments, identifying common issues, and ensuring that both self-service support solutions and live agent interactions meet the desired service standards. Using Metadata to Reduce Churn and Prevent Fraud Mark provides another example in the context of membership or subscription services, highlighting the proactive capabilities of automation. One of the biggest indicators of churn is customer engagement with the service. By analyzing metadata on service usage, companies can create nudges to encourage engagement before a customer decides to cancel their subscription. Mark explains that if usage data indicates a customer is not engaging with the service, automated nudges, such as order status updates, can be sent to re-engage them. This proactive approach can significantly reduce churn and improve retention. In product-based services, automation extends beyond simple order status updates. Mark illustrates how bots manage complex scenarios like late or lost shipments. A bot informs customers about their order status and, if an issue arises, handles it seamlessly. For example, if a product is delayed, especially with expedited shipping, the bot offers concessions, refunds, or replacements based on predefined policies. This comprehensive workflow ensures customer satisfaction even in problematic situations. Metadata is also used to identify potential risks, such as unexpected locations for customer calls, by analyzing call data and comparing it to expected patterns. In financial services, for instance, automation leverages metadata to enhance security and fraud detection. Automation flags these issues for further investigation, providing a more secure experience for customers. Steps for Brands to Start or Expand Automation in Customer Support A well-thought-out approach can save significant time and effort in the long run. Critical considerations during the planning phase include: 1. Transparency: Decide whether to inform customers that they are interacting with a bot. 2. Engagement Duration: Determine how long customers should interact with the bot before being transferred to a human agent. Once the resource needs are identified, brands must decide how to allocate them effectively. Mark suggests three primary options: 1. Reallocate Existing Resources: Shift staff from lower-priority projects to focus on automation. 2. Request Incremental Resources: Advocate for additional resources to support the automation efforts. 3. Utilize Third-Party Solutions: Engage BPOs, IT, or consulting organizations to advance the automation roadmap. Mark shares a real-world example from his experience with a large seasonal business, which required doubling the staff during peak times. The challenge was the lack of a training environment, which was crucial for preparing seasonal staff. The company built this environment using the six most common transactions. This approach allowed the seasonal staff to practice without the anxiety of live customer interactions, resulting in a 30% improvement in velocity to proficiency. Starting or expanding the use of automation in customer support involves strategic planning, resource allocation, and leveraging third-party solutions when necessary. Taking a planful approach and addressing key considerations upfront allows brands to integrate automation effectively, leading to improved customer experiences and operational efficiencies.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Harlan Grady - report from the visitors locker room in Husky Stadium after day 8 of Washington's fall camp. After seeing a lot of fall camps over the years, and under more than a half-dozen staffs, the one constant is that the defense always holds early sway in camp and it takes roughly two weeks for the offense to get to the point where they're giving back as good as they get. They've certainly shown explosive glimpses but the defense has been far and away the more consistent side of the football so far. And now that the second week of camp is upon us we're on high alert. Starting with the offense, we talked about the guys that came back to practice, as well as the guys who were limited or unavailable, which gave opportunities to those behind them. A good example is Audric Harris. With some players not able to go full steam, like Rashid Williams, it's allowed the true frosh receiver to make a move, and he has. The same could also be said for offensive lineman Kahlee Tafai. With Elishah Jackett and Zachary Henning unavailable today, Tafai took a lot more reps at right tackle, the same as what he did Thursday. Before moving to the defensive side of the ball, the guys also talked about Demond Williams and how much progress he's made so far through 8 fall practices. After a quick break, the talk turns to the defense and some of the players that stood out during Friday's workout, including Sacramento State EDGE transfer Deshawn Lynch, Zach Durfee getting some team work done while Lance Holtzclaw was limited, Thaddeus Dixon showing his physical side out on an island, and more.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - were at Husky Stadium to offer their thoughts on a very productive day six of fall camp, one that saw the Washington Huskies in full pads for the first time all camp, and they put those pads to use with some tackling during a few of their team periods. To start the show, Scott and Chris break down the top offensive and defensive plays they saw, including the highlight of the day - a pick-six where slot corner Jordan Shaw picked off Demond Williams and took it to the house with the whole defense acting as his convoy. After a quick break, Scott asks Chris for a freshman on either side of the ball that has impressed him so far this fall, and then Scott offers up his choices. And before giving their final thoughts, the guys gave three names of players on offense and defense that have been their outstanding players of camp so far. And with so many players looking the part and putting in some great work, it wasn't easy to just pick three a side.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern Harlan Grady - were at Husky Stadium bright and early Monday morning for Washington's fifth practice of the fall. And much like the last couple of padded practices, this one occurred on the east field next to the stadium. There, the players ramped up their play via 11-11 team periods, and the defense was typically backed up into the red zone or the shadow of their end zone. For the most part, the defense responded well. But there were also some new standout performers during these periods, like running back Sam Adams and receiver Audric Harris. The guys also talked about the movement of the offensive line, how well they are progressing under Brennan Carroll, and what still lay ahead for them. After a quick break, the guys move to the defense, and the front is where Kim is most concerned. Who is going to step up to stop the run? And Chris asks; which players will emerge from a congested EDGE room to make an impact? They talk about a couple of defensive linemen that emerged on Monday and also mention the reasons why they feel Logan Sagapolu is rightly suited now for the defensive line, as opposed to the offensive line, which is where he played at Oregon and Miami.

While the rest of humanity was resting on the seventh day of the week, the Washington Huskies were out grinding on the east field under perfect Seattle conditions. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were all there watching the action from the east field next to Husky Stadium, and they gave their thoughts on what they saw on day four of fall camp. The good news was that players like Landen Hatchett and Tristan Dunn were back in action, albeit just a little bit. Hatchett got some positional work in while Dunn mostly got in some conditioning. The guys start the podcast talking about the offensive side of the ball, including the work done by the running backs and especially the offensive line to help solidify things after that room was half of what it is now. After a quick break, talk turns to the defensive side of the ball. The defense had another strong day, as you'd expect given how these things usually go early in fall camp. And there were some standout performers, led by cornerback Ephesians Prysock. There were also a couple of positive notes regarding the work put in by the special teams units too.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund, Chris Fetters, and Harlan Grady - broke down what they saw on Friday when the UW coaches and players practiced almost completely on the east field next to Husky Stadium. Three members of the Big Ten Network - Ashley Adamson, Yogi Roth, and former Indiana (and LSU) Head Coach Gerry DiNardo were on hand to watch practice and also talk to selected coaches and players afterward. The practice included their first scrimmaging of fall, but don't expect to hear a lot about scrimmaging moving forward. With their NFL background and Fisch's aim of being the NFL's '33rd team', the program is fashioning itself as a professional outfit. There are obvious connections with NFL head coaches like Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll (who was at today's practice). And following the NFL model also means almost all the hitting happens on the field during games, not in practices. So we don't expect to see a ton of scrimmaging during fall camp but enjoyed what we saw today under lovely Seattle August weather. We started by going position group by position group, noting standout performances and things that stood out to us that we maybe didn't see the first couple of days. After a quick break, we did the same thing, but this time on the defensive side of the ball.

In the third hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain sit down at Husky Stadium with UW football legends Lincoln Kennedy, Shaq Thompson, Mark Bruener, and Cam Cleeland to talk about the Dawgs program, Spring Game tonight, and NIL era in college football.
The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - wrapped up Friday night's 'Dawgs After Dark' at Husky Stadium by recording some of their own thoughts on the night, the attendance, what they saw during the roughly 75-play scrimmage, the standouts, and what the next few weeks and months are going to look like for UW Football as they continue to construct their roster and put things in place ahead of the 2024 season. To start, the guys talked about the atmosphere at Husky Stadium, having the spring game at night (it was a good idea and probably should continue to be done at night), how the game went, some of the standout plays, and also offered up some very unofficial statistics. After a quick break, the second half of the podcast mostly centered around recruiting, which was a focal point of the night, and will consume the UW staff's every movement for the next few weeks as they hit the road to find players for the 2025 class and beyond, while still having one eye on what's going on at home due to the transfer portal, setting up official visits, etc...

The Huskies' ninth practice of the spring was mostly a scrimmage with the players and coaches getting in over 100 plays during the nearly two-hour and 30 minute workout. The guys from Dawgman.com -- Kim Grinolds, Harlan Grady and Scott Eklund -- were there and they talked about everything they saw from their seats in Husky Stadium.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to talk about an eventful Day 8 of UW spring ball even though the team wasn't in full pads on Thursday. Does that likely mean full pads Saturday starting at 11 am? You would think so, but there's only one way to find that out. The talk started with the weather of the day - beautiful but blustery on the east field sandwiched between Husky Stadium and Lake Washington. As such, it was hard for the quarterbacks to develop much rhythm and timing, but that improved a lot as the day went on. Jeremiah Hunter had a very strong practice on offense, and Elijah Jackson - though wearing yellow on the day to typically signify no contact - had a strong day on defense with a couple of interceptions. And true freshman quarterback Demond Williams continued to show why fans should be excited for this fall - and there were a handful of others the guys mentioned as having stood out during the 150-minute workout. After talk on practice, the chat turned to the transfer portal after a quick break (news of D'Angalo Titialii's commit took place after we recorded this podcast). More players entered the portal Thursday and that trend will continue through April 30. And then that's roughly the same time Washington will look to fill open roster spots, especially along the offensive line. Scott and Chris talked about that process, as well as why things aren't happening as quickly as maybe they were laid out a week ago. There should definitely be more visitors coming for Saturday's practice and Scott will hopefully have a list of who we believe is expected on Montlake this weekend. But as always in the transfer portal era, news chances fast, even by the hour - so be patient!
