Hardcore Husky Football Podcast

The boys break down the beginning of the Kalen DeBoer era at Washington, as UW tops Kent State 45-20 to win the "Don James Bowl". Michael Penix was everything we hoped for, albeit against subpar competition. The offensive line and defense looked suspect. But it is the season opener, after all. We also discussed the Pac-12's marquee struggles as opposed the SEC, which went 14-0 in its opening weeke...

The boys find themselves in doog purgatory as the 2022 season draws nigh. Roaddawg joins us as we comb through the starting lineups and assess the other teams in the conference.

Shout outs include TheKnowledge, Haie,...

The boys record their first in-person pod along the shores of a shimmering lake. Beers were pounded, hands were measured, and a good time was had by all.

The boys react to the news that USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 and heading to the Big 10. Will Washington and Oregon follow? Will the Big 12 reach out to Washington for its TV market? Or will the Huskies remain in what will become an expanded Zombie Apocalypse Pac-12? The boys also discuss how regional ties and rivalries were once the lifeblood of college football but now it has given way to...

The boys take stock of the Pac-12 and provide a little new info into the current job security of Jen Cohen and the state of UW athletic department overall.

Like a car traveling from Seattle to Olympia on...

The boys start off talking about the Pac-12's new format for the conference championship game -- but soon do a deep dive into Beaver Football.

JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog nurse hangovers and join Derek to discuss Husky Football following the end of Spring Camp.

The boys provide a sobering view of UW's recruiting prospects, but try to focus on the positives from certain players who they anticipate will succeed in 2022.

A few weeks ago, some posters on Hardcore Husky were saying they didn't know much about the Don James years at Washington. They said it would be great to hear discussion about it.
