Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

Washington players Isaiah Stewart and Quade Green and UW Head Coach Mike Hopkins spoke to the media Tuesday night after the Huskies took care of Seattle University 81-59. Stewart finished the game with 27 points and 13 rebounds, and Green added 20 points.

It sounds simple enough, right? If you're a player, just cut down one less turnover a game. Well, if  Mike Hopkins  is running eight or nine players out a game in his rotation, that's nearly 10 less turnovers a game. Sounds nice. But it's clearly much harder to do on the floor than it is in theory, but that's what a big part of this week has been focused on, getting those extra possessions, those...

In less than 48 hours, high school seniors from all over the country will be sending in their letters-of-intent to various schools and coaching staffs and Washington is expected to get at least 20 of those if not all 22 of their current commits.

The guys from Dawgman.com -  Chris Fetters and Head of Hoops Aaron Beach  - found some time on a busy Monday to get together and talk about Washington's 83-76 loss to Gonzaga and where that puts them in the non-conference schedule and how close they are to being where they need to be as they have four more games left in their non-conference schedule.

The guys from Dawgman.com -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund  - go deep into the weeds with the news that Washington will be playing Boise State in the Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday, December 21st.

Washington players Nahziah Carter and Isaiah Stewart , as well as UW Head Coach Mike Hopkins , reflect back on a hard-fought 83-76 loss to No. 9 Gonzaga Sunday at Alaska Airlines Arena.

The gym is going to be packed, the Dawg Pack is going to be in full voice, and these young pups aren't going to know what hit them. They've been in some big games and some big-time environments, but it's not going to be quite like what they will experience Sunday at 4 pm when the Huskies take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The media spoke Friday with UW Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  and junior guard  Nahzia...

Quade Green, Sam Timmins , and head coach Mike Hopkins talked to the media after Washington's 90-80 win over Eastern Washington Wednesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.

The guys from Dawgman.com -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund  - recap a busy, busy 24 hours with their thoughts after the press conference announcing  Jimmy Lake  as Washington's 19th Head Football Coach. Departing head coach  Chris Petersen  was also in attendance, as well as Washington Athletic Director Jen Cohen, and the guys talked about Petersen's exit, what his next steps will...

The irony is not lost on  Jimmy Lake . In 2004, the 27-year old cornerbacks coach at Eastern Washington decided to take the same job at the University of Washington. The Huskies were 6-6 the year before, but weren't expected to do well the next season. People around Lake were telling him to not take the gig because it was probably going to only be for a year. He had spent the previous four years w...

The Washington Huskies finished on a 19-3 run, eventually outlasting the South Dakota Coyotes 75-55 Monday night at Alaska Airlines Arena. Jaden McDaniels  scored 15 of his game-high 20 points in the first half, and  Isaiah Stewart  came up with his second career double-double (16 points, 15 rebounds) to pace the Huskies (6-1), despite dealing with foul trouble in the second half.

Wow. CyberMonday just turned into Manic Monday with the news that Washington Head Coach  Chris Petersen  is  set to step down after six years at Montlake . And the succession plan is in place, with UW Defensive Coordinator  Jimmy Lake  set to take Petersen's job. It's been announced he's signed a five-year deal starting at $3 million per year. So what does this all mean? The guys from Dawgman.com...

It doesn't sound like  Mike Hopkins  is a big believer in statistics, but he looks at them to make sure he's got a handle on the trends that are affecting the basketball team. Washington is shooting 46.1 percent from the field, good enough for 93rd in the country. The shooting will come, Hop insists when the team makes extra passes to create better looks. But what the numbers are also telling him...

It was deja vu all over again for the Washington Huskies, as they took care of business once again in the Apple Cup, this time beating Washington State 31-13. The guys from Dawgman.com spoke with Head Coach  Chris Petersen , Offensive Coordinator  Bush Hamdan , and a host of players to get their thoughts on the game and what it meant to get another one over on the cross-state rivals. The Lineup: H...

We shouldn't be surprised anymore, but it was still surprising.  Mike Leach  didn't change a thing, so neither did  Jimmy Lake . And at the end of this particular Groundhog Day, the Washington Huskies won another Apple Cup in much the same way they've won the last six, this one 31-13 Saturday in Seattle. The guys from Dawgman.com -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and intern George John...

The guys from Dawgman.com -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Jack McCauley  - talked to a quartet of Washington Huskies ahead of Friday's 112th Boeing Apple Cup. They obviously have a lot of work in front of them preparing against a potent Washington State offense, but the players also took time to talk about Thanksgiving and what this game means to them. This particular group of Huskies has had...

Chris Petersen  has never had any time for smack talk, even if some of his coaches seem to enjoy it from time to time. Defensive Coordinator  Jimmy Lake  has had some interesting things to say about Washington State over the years, but Petersen isn't giving anything to the enemy - even after the game has been played. He talked about having that opinion, one he admittedly can't really explain, plus...

Washington used a 12-2 run the final 3:32 of the first half to jump out to an 11-point lead at intermission, and they would never look back, eventually taking down the San Diego Toreros 88-69 Sunday night at Alaska Airlines Arena. In their most complete performance of the season to date, the Huskies (5-1) shot 58 percent from the field, including 7-17 from three. They out-rebounded USD 33-27, only...

It's a special edition of DawgmanRadio, Kim Grinolds was joined by his youngest son Kyle, who was in Boulder Saturday night. It was supposed to be a celebratory weekend, but the only ones doing the celebrating at Folsom Field were the Colorado Buffaloes, as they beat Washington 20-14. It was a huge win for the Buffaloes, who got one step closer to bowl eligibility and especially for the seniors, w...

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds was at Folsom Field Saturday night as the Washington Huskies lost to the Colorado Buffaloes 20-14, and he spoke to Head Coach  Chris Petersen , quarterback  Jacob Eason , tight end  Cade Otton , and defensive back  Myles Bryant  about what went wrong in the loss, and what they can do on a short week to fix it before taking on Washington State in the annual Apple Cup next...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - got up extra-early Saturday morning to record a full Colorado preview. They break down the Buffaloes on both sides of the ball, including how they think Washington might be able to attack them. Both teams are coming off a bye week, so there's no advantage gained there. Eklund and Fetters talk about Colorado's top offensive stars, includi...

Here's the post-game media session with Washington players Sam Timmins and Jamal Bey, as well as Head Coach Mike Hopkins, after the Huskies defeated Montana 73-56 Friday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
