Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

Every week we rifle through our rolodex of contacts to try and get the latest scoop on Washington's opponent. This week it's the Colorado Buffaloes, so we caught up with  Adam Munsterteiger , Publisher of BuffStampede.com, the Colorado site on the 247Sports network. We asked Adam about CU life under first-year head coach  Mel Tucker , what to expect from the Buffaloes on offense and defense, the h...

The press got a chance to meet up with Washington Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  and sophomore guard  Quade Green , who both talked about the season to date, and what needs to happen moving forward. The Huskies (3-1) host Montana (1-3) Friday night at Alaska Airlines Arena, and then San Diego (2-4) on Sunday. They'll have Thanksgiving week off before returning to Alaska Airlines Arena for games Monday,...

He's trying to keep his sense of humor about him, but  Chris Petersen  knows that's very difficult to do when things aren't going your way. And on offense, that's become doubly difficult because things aren't clicking in the pass game. Are the schemes too complex? Is the quarterback playing up to standard? Are the receivers thinking too much instead of just relaxing and taking care of the basics?...

With their second bye week in the rear-view mirror, the Husky coaches and players have definitely turned their focus to their final two regular season games and they definitely had some thoughts about what the Buffaloes' defense will do on Saturday that could throw them off, but, as always, they said no matter what the opposing defense does, it's more about them and their execution of the plays th...

Junior guard Nahziah Carter, freshman forward Isaiah Stewart, and UW Head Coach Mike Hopkins all talk post-game after the Huskies defeated Maine 72-53 Tuesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena. Stewart led the Huskies with 16 points and 9 rebounds, while Carter had three first-half Top-10 Sports Center dunks to his ever-growing show reel. Hopkins talked about Washington switching between man and zone...

The guys from Dawgman.com -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Jack McCauley  - spoke to some of Washington's defensive players and coaches about shutting out Oregon State, what they got accomplished during their bye week, and also about their next opponent, the Colorado Buffaloes. But the highlight of the media session was the conversation with redshirt walk-on linebacker  Edefuan Ulofoshio , whos...

The Washington Huskies (2-1) are in the middle of a 9-day stretch where they play four games. The silver lining is that, after their 13-point loss to Tennessee in Toronto, the other three games will be played in the friendly confines of Alaska Airlines Arena. UW Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  is glad for that second fact, but isn't a big fan of the first. In fact, he said right now he feels more like t...

Washington Head Coach  Chris Petersen  took questions from the media Monday ahead of their game at Colorado this coming weekend, and the press took a cue from Pete: instead of asking a ton of questions about the opponent, it was mostly about the Huskies and what's going on with the offense, specifically the pass game. Petersen said that if it was just one thing wrong with that aspect of the offens...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - talk about Washington's newest 2020 commit, offensive lineman  Samuel Peacock  from Gig Harbor, and what that means not only for the offensive line numbers this year, but what it also means down the road. While they're talking about the big men, they also talk about who they think their OL rotation will be next year, as well as depth. Th...

Washington didn't have much go well for them offensively, but  Nahziah Carter  provided the fireworks anyway. A high flying, Vince Carter-esque tomahawk dunk by the junior guard with 9:35 to play in the game brought the partisan crowd off their seats and into the game, as the Huskies kept the clamps on Mount St. Mary's and held the Mountaineers to 29 percent shooting on the night, eventually beati...

Isaiah Stewart  came to Washington to help the Huskies win national championships, and he should know. He's already played in one. The 6-foot-9 freshman forward, winner of the 2019 Naismith High School National Player of the Year award, helped lead his La Lumiere squad to the Geico National Championship game last April, eventually losing to IMG Academy 66-55. He's played for his country, helping t...

Monday was the first time the Seattle media caught up to UW Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  after Washington's come-from-behind 67-64 win over No. 16 Baylor at the Armed Forces Classic in Anchorage. The Huskies used a 21-5 closing run to end the game with the victory, but it wasn't easy. In fact, far from it. The Huskies committed 15 first-half turnovers and couldn't contain a Baylor offense that hit fi...

It was a late night anyway, so why not go just a little later? Or was it earlier? And on top of it, the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - broke out the ancient tradition of recording their post-game podcast via car on the way out of town after a game played at Oregon or Oregon State. Saturday morning, aka late, late Friday night, they turned the recorder on and proceeded to...

If it looked like the Washington Huskies had Oregon State's number Friday night, it might be because they did. Remember post-game after the 23-13 loss at Stanford, and some of the offensive players felt like the Cardinal knew what was coming before the ball was even snapped? Well, I suspect  Jonathan Smith  might be feeling the same way after UW's 19-7 win that saw Death Row rise from the ashes an...

It's a short week, but that doesn't mean the content slows down. Not a chance. The Dawgman guys -  Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund  - got up bright and early to give their final thoughts on Washington's Friday night game at Oregon State. They've absolutely dominated the Beavers in Corvallis the last three times they've been down there, but are they playing well enough to dominate a f...

It's season-opener eve, so that means it's time to talk hoops, and specifically Washington-Baylor. So to do that, Dawgman.com's Chris Fetters went straight to the source and caught up with Head of Hoops Aaron Beach. They talked a little bit about the individual talent that will be on display in Anchorage at the Armed Forces Classic, specifically the trio of  Quade Green ,  Jaden McDaniels , and  I...

Every week we get in touch with our counterparts to get the low-down on Washington's next opponent. Since this week it's the Oregon State Beavers, so we reached out to BeaverBlitz.com's Publisher Angie Machado to get the scoop. Angie has been around the OSU program for years and no one is more connected than Angie. So Kim Grinolds spoke to Angie about the football revival under  Jonathan Smith , h...

It's about the consistency of play, physical and mental stamina, and - when it all boils down to those critical moments - stepping up and making a play. And it's the job of the coaches to get the players in positions, both mentally and physically, where they can make those plays. That's what Washington Head Coach  Chris Petersen  talked about Wednesday ahead of UW's road game versus Oregon State F...

In talking with the Washington players and coaches Tuesday, it was clear they are more ready than ever to get back on the football field and right more than a few wrongs caused by close back-to-back defeats to top-12 teams at home. Doesn't matter if it's a short week, they're ready to go through what it takes. The coaches will obviously adjust to whatever they need to do in order to get as much pr...

On Monday college basketball analyst  Jeff Goodman picked the Huskies to make the Final Four . That's heady stuff, considering the last Washington team to make the Final Four (the only time) was back in 1953. Those were the days of Tippy Dye and Bob Houbregs. UW Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  said he didn't know about the news, which is unsurprising. It's usually his wife Tricia who keeps him abreast o...

Washington Head Coach  Chris Petersen  addressed the glaring issues that came out of Washington's 33-28 loss to No. 9 Utah Saturday afternoon, namely the need to finish games. Just like the Oregon game, the Huskies were leading by double-digits during the game, only to eventually find a way to lose. Against Oregon and Utah, the Huskies have been out-scored 41-24 in the second half, and out-gained...

THE LINEUP: Washington Head Coach  Chris Petersen UW Offensive Coordinator  Bush Hamdan UW Defensive Coordinator  Jimmy Lake Quarterback  Jacob Eason Tight End  Hunter Bryant Defensive Lineman  Levi Onwuzurike Outside Linebacker  Joe Tryon Outside Linebacker  Ryan Bowman Defensive Back  Elijah Molden

It looked so promising for so long, and then it all fell apart. Whether it was the fourth-down missed opportunity to redshirt freshman  Devin Culp , or the pick-six thrown by  Jacob Eason , or the inability of the defense to get off the field during Utah's clinching fourth-quarter drive, there were certainly more questions than answers coming out of Washington's 33-28 loss to No. 9 Utah Saturday a...

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Steve Bartle, Managing Editor for UteZone.com, to get the Utah perspective on this weekend's Utah-UW game. It's a game apparently most Utah fans had already chalked up as a loss, but since the Utes have started out 7-1 they're feeling a lot better about their chances of coming to Seattle and leaving the 206 with a win. They talked about Utah's defens...

Washington used balanced scoring and a blend of man and zone defense to upend Western Washington 87-63 in an exhibition game at Alaska Airlines Arena Thursday night. The only sore spot for the Huskies was that they were inefficient from the free-throw line, going 15-32 from the stripe. "It's one of those games, the first time there...these guys are good shooters," UW Head Coach  Mike Hopkins  said...
