Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

Kim Grinolds was able to spend some time one-on-one with Washington Men's Basketball Coach Mike Hopkins during Pac-12 Media Day Tuesday in San Francisco and they ran down all the newcomers like Isaiah Stewart , Jaden McDaniels , Marcus Tsohonis , RaeQuan Battle , as well as players like Nate Roberts and Quade Green , and the outlook for the season compared to things a year ago. And lastly, they sp...

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke with junior forward Nahziah Carter during Pac-12 Media Day, and Grinolds asked Carter for scouting reports on some of the new Huskies, as well as his summer trip to Italy with the team. Carter also revealed that he picked up a trophy this past summer, but it's probably not the kind of trophy you'd expect. He explains it all in the conversation. Carter, a New York t...

One thing became very clear Tuesday afternoon when talking with the Washington defensive coaches; they aren't waiting around to figure things out. There's no question the Stanford offense ran and threw circles around them in their 23-13 win over UW Saturday at Stanford Stadium, but the Husky coaches quickly looked at the tape Sunday, identified with the players what went wrong, and now are on to A...

Washington Head Coach Mike Hopkins spoke to the media during Pac-12 Media Day Tuesday in San Francisco, and he talked about the strength of the conference, the youth movement on Montlake with players like Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels , the Italy trip and mixing in man-to-man with their patented zone defense, getting picked third in the Pac-12 preseason poll, the development of senior Sam Tim...

To no one's surprise, only one question was asked about Washington's next opponent, the Arizona Wildcats. Chris Petersen 's Monday press conference was all about UW's 23-13 loss at Stanford, and Petersen's reaction to what he saw on tape. He opened up by saying the special teams were a push. Any time a coach talks special teams first, that's a bad sign. Eventually Petersen did come to the offense...

Washington Head Coach Chris Petersen and selected players spoke to the media Saturday night after the Huskies lost to Stanford 23-13. It was a night where, if something could have gone wrong for the Huskies, it did.

Don't call it Stanford Stadium; call it Washington's House of Horrors. The Huskies troubles in Palo Alto continued Saturday night as they lost to Stanford 23-13, and the game didn't feel very close to the scoreline. Like the California game last year, Washington got off to a good start offensively, scoring a touchdown, but then wilted. For a defense that was giving up third-down conversions more t...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - wake up bright and early Saturday morning to talk about all things UW and Stanford, as the Huskies clash with the Cardinal at 7:30 p.m. tonight. The game is on ESPN, and you can find out how to watch, stream or listen to the game HERE . The guys talk about the struggles that have befallen the Cardinal of late, losing quart...

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds was joined this week by R.J. Abeytia , one of the football and basketball insiders for The Bootleg, the Stanford site on the 247Sports Network, and they broke down both sides of Stanford's football team, from their evolution offensively from smash-mouth to spread and also on the defensive side of the ball. R.J. gave us insight into what's going on with Stanford right now...

During preparations for their first road game of the 2019 season, Washington couldn't have reasonably replicated the crowd noise, the white out environment they saw at Brigham Young a couple of weeks ago. But they were able to successfully navigate the pitfalls of going on the road and dealing with uncomfortable situations. This Saturday, Washington are Road Dawgs once again, but the challenges th...

The Huskies seem to be hitting their stride a little bit on the offensive side of the ball. They exploded for 52 points against Hawaii at home and then put up 45 points on the road against BYU before coming back home to score 28 against a tough USC team. The Huskies are getting a lot of productivity from their tailbacks including redshirt freshman Richard Newton and Salvon Ahmed has shown a lot of...

The Washington Huskies are about to play their sixth game of the 2019 season, so we're getting a better sense week-by-week about the collective personality of the team, as well as the players that make them go. In talking with Washington Defensive Line Coach Ikaika Malloe and junior defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike , we got to know a little bit more about the guys they call the 'twins' - Tuli Let...

In the past, going week-to-week from USC to Stanford wouldn't be considered that big of a change. Both were usually athletic, physical teams that would try and run at you and play stout defense. Things have changed a little bit. Now USC runs a wide-open Air Raid-style offense, while Stanford still tries to run it at you but will also utilize their tight ends a lot down the field. And Stanford's de...

It was a solid win for the Washington Huskies, as they defeated USC 28-14 in front of a paid house of nearly 67000 fans at Husky Stadium, and the players and coaches had plenty to say about it. The Lineup Head Coach Chris Petersen Offensive Coordinator Bush Hamdan Defensive Coordinator Jimmy Lake Quarterback Jacob Eason Tailback Salvon Ahmed Defensive Back Elijah Molden  Defensive Back Myles Bryan...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund, and George Johnson - were joined post-game by the man who was Tony Casticone's sidekick on radio Saturday, UW legendary running back Greg Lewis . If there was ever a guy to talk to about big wins over USC in Husky Stadium, it's Lewis. He was UW's running back that rolled through the Trojans during the 1990 'All I Saw Was Purple...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got up bright and early Saturday morning in lieu of a pregame show on SportsRadio KJR to record a preview podcast to get you geared up and informed ahead of the USC-Washington game at 12:30 pm. They talked about USC's key missing players, including quarterback Kedon Slovis , safety Talanoa Hufanga , and Olaijah Griffin , a...

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds was at Kennedy Catholic High School Friday when Sav'ell Smalls was presented with his game jersey for the 2020 Under Armour All-American game, which will be held in Orlando, Florida on January 2nd, 2020. But Smalls had some other news to share too. He verbally committed to Washington over his other five finalists: Oregon, Florida State, Washington State, Tennessee, and A...

There's always some kind of drama lurking around Heritage Hall. This season it's all about dealing with some leadership changes with a new university president and trying to find a new athletic director, as well as the ever-shifting status of head coach Clay Helton . That's why we had to go straight to the source and talk to USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham to get the facts behind what's going on wi...

Chris Petersen used the word 'calculus' this week to describe the 'big test' ahead of Washington on Saturday. The No. 21 USC Trojans are coming to town, and it doesn't matter of JT Daniels , Kedon Slovis , Matt Fink , or Brandon Perdue plays quarterback for USC...that's not something Petersen can control. What Petersen is very concerned about is UW's response to whoever is throwing the passes for...

With their game against USC this weekend, the Huskies have plenty of challenges to prepare for. First off, which quarterback will be at the helm of the Trojans' offensive attack? Kedon Slovis missed all but two plays of USC's big win over Utah last week and there is still some concern he might not be ready to go by the time they take the field against the Huskies on Saturday. Washington defensive...

It's USC week, and the Washington Huskies know it - especially those that played in the last game between the two teams in Seattle. It was 2016, UW was ranked #4, ESPN Game Day was in town, and USC spoiled the party. Obviously everything has pretty much changed since that time. Washington has continued to flirt with the college football playoff but hasn't quite reached the summit. USC, on the othe...

A lot of people believe the Pac-12 is only as healthy as the USC Trojans are. Chris Petersen isn't necessarily one of those people. He was asked by the media Monday if the Pac-12 is a better conference if USC is better, and he flatly stated he doesn't want USC to be better. Context is important. He's not wishing ill-will on the Trojans. He doesn't want USC to suffer. He's only worried about the Wa...

Chris Petersen , Jacob Eason , Aaron Fuller , and Myles Bryant talked to the media after the Washington Huskies defeated the BYU Cougars 45-19 Saturday afternoon in Provo.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - rehash the good, bad, and ugly from Washington's 45-19 win at BYU Saturday afternoon, and as the scoreline suggests, it was almost all good. Yes, there was the fake field goal gaffe and Joe Tryon getting ejected for a questionable targeting call, but for the most part, it was a Purple and Gold block party in Provo. It star...

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - go in-depth on what they expect to see Saturday in Provo, Utah, as the Washington Huskies play Road Dawgs for the first time this year, and they're doing it in the home of the BYU Cougars. UW beat BYU 35-7 last season, but this game hardly appears that lopsided. For starters, the Cougars have a whole new backfield with Zac...
