As Washington prepares for its Alamo Bowl matchup with Texas, the boys celebrate the news that Bralen Trice and ZTF will be returning to UW in 2023. Then they talk all kind of Husky football stuff, including wanting to beat Sark, reliving the defensive shitshow of the 2011 Alamo Bowl, rejoicing over Quinn Ewes anemic rushing stats, and mini dives into the 2010 Boise State Broncos, ASU Sun Devils a...

Derek visits with CoronaBruin about the late PurpleJ's experiences through the years at Hardcore Husky. Corona loves the Bruins and thinks they'll win their Sun Bowl matchup, even if he has no idea whom they'll be playing. He also reflects on meeting Derek at the Taki Tiki a few years back, and of old battles with posters like Pup and Thomas Fremont. There's even an homage to SECDawg.  Come r...

Washington beats Cal 28-21 to up its record to 6-2. Through a series of Seinfeld references we determine that its a 6-2 that feels like a 4-4. Try as we might to be positive, we also had to point out the things that are wrong or concerning. It turns out to be a pod that has a bit of everything. Shout outs include the UW offensive line, Leon Neal, Regan Schenck, Cage Schenck, HouHusky, PostGameOran...

Okay maybe that's a bit hyperbolic, but this Husky defense inspires no confidence after the 45-38 loss at ASU playing against a walk-on quarterback of a 1-4 team in front of 1,500 fans. It was the familiar land of giving up 14 yards and 3rd and 12s and missed tackles and all the rest. In theory this 4-2 Husky team still has a Holiday Bowl berth to play for. But the defense is trending so badly tha...

Oh what a painful loss it was to the UCLA Bruins on Friday night at the Rose Bowl. Derek, JoeEDangerously and special guest UW_Doog_Bot break it all down. The Huskies fell behind 40-16 before Penix & Co mounted a comeback to close the gap to 40-32. The Huskies struggled to tackle, struggled to cover receivers, made horrible turnovers and committed stupid penalties. Even coach Grubb called for...

Derek, JoeEDangerously and Doogles discuss Washington's 39-28 win over #11 Michigan State on Saturday. Husky quarterback Michael Penix shredded the Spartan defense for 397 yards and 3 TDs, with Ja'Lynn Polk having a massive receiving day. Washington is now 3-0 and looking toward Stanford and old nemesis Mr. Smirk, coach David Shaw. This was one of the more fun episodes we've done, as there were ma...

With the Kent State and Portland State scrimmages behind us, we focus on the upcoming tilt against #14 Michigan State. (We like to refer to football games as "tilts". It's what we like to do.)  The Huskies also seem to be in great hands with coach Kalen DeBoer. AD Jen Cohen may have just lucked out after the Jimmy Lake debacle and general mismanagement. This is probably our most optimistic po...
