Instant reaction from Chest & Jimmy. What are expectations for next year? What are the key two questions now? 

UW exceeded our expectations for the season and in the Apple Cup. The offense proved to be elite the last 3.5 games (after a mid season lull). Deboer is showing a few more signs he could be a unicorn. What will it take for Penix, Trice and Rome to return? How aggressive will Deboer be in the portal? 

Serious football talk starts at 26 mins in. Some talk about rivalry & other stuff to begin. Lots of things covered in this episode. 

We spend the entire pod sharing our reaction to and observations from UW's 37-34 victory over Oregon. We also discuss the potential of Rose or Cotton bowl if UW wins out, and answer your questions.

Good win against Oregon St. The offense looked elite when it absolutely had to be. Oregon hasn't faced a top 5 team in Pac-12 on the road. They are very tough at home and always get up for Washington. Does our AD care as much as Oregon's? Are we wrong to think not? Great Jerry Falwell movie God Forbid on Hulu & new mob series Tulsa King. 

I'm sorry for not recording the first half of the pod. Chest does a recap/intro and then we get to Q&A and prediction. 

We review Cal game and talk Oregon St a bit. Other subjects: Kim Grinolds collapses after getting hit with a football, UW AD's NIL excuse is moot now, we answer questions & Jimmy talks about meat. 

UW will face the best defense it has played so far but the worst offense it has faced. Can it win a game on the road it should? Also, we bemoan the attendance and crowd issues again, while noting that coach Deboer will have some heavy lifting going into next season. 

The season is over if UW loses this game. Coaches have to put players in better position on defense. Offense had C and C- games last two weeks which does not help when the defense is really struggling. UW needs a big win this week. A close win may feel like a loss. 

Can UW bounce back? Or is UW a front running team that will struggle on the road? For us to be happy with the how the season turns out, UW must win this game. 

We share our insights post Stanford and preview UCLA. Our optimism is growing. While UCLA is a decent team and its the first game on the road, we like the matchup for our Dawgs. 

Nick of the Detroiter podcast who went viral amongst UW fans for his videos joins us to recap his trip to Seattle and the game. He gives his impressions of Seattle, Husky Stadium and Husky Fans and also informs us what East Lansing will be like next year. Then we 

Comments on game, coaching, season outlook, crowd, everything.

We spend a good amount of the pod bemoaning our attendance issues, in addition to previewing Michigan St. 

We take a glass-half empty approach to our analysis as fans are overly excited about winning a game that we were favored in by 20. There are some concerns but this was the first game in a new system and there is plenty of time to improve. Midway through we go off on a tangent and rant about some things. 

We discuss what we want to see against Kent St as well as what is needed to go 10-3. That would raise UW's national brand and certainly help give recruiting a major boost for Deboer in year 2. 

Tequila fills in for Jimmy who shows up half way through. We talk about the strengths of the team, the most important questions and areas of concern, and we give a season W/L & SRS prediction. Jimmy joins half way through. At 1:17 and last 15 minutes we discuss Jimmy's favorite movie (Chest's #2). 

We explain why this team has a chance to really surprise this season. Michael Penix' health is a major factor. Recruiting has turned around completely and is going well. Some movie talk at the end. 

We run through the potential depth chart on defense and comment on numerous players. We also project where the defense could rank in the Pac-12. At the start we discuss Ray Liotta's passing, Good Fellas and our favorite mob movies. 

We are very worried about the consequences of UW's approach and attitude in the NIL era. We also talk about the bizarre outcome of UW football over the last 21 seasons. The highs and lows in the context of one another are truly bizarre and emblematic of a progrum lacking leadership.

Apologies for the jumbled recording. We have some optimisim on the 2022 season, especially if we can land Mitchell Agude. Coach Kalen Deboer is a proven high level offensive coach who could transform the offense and quickly. There is quite a lot of remaining talent on defense. Michael Penix' health is the X factor. This season is important to catalyze recruiting. Also talk on NIL. 

Analyzing Kalen Deboer, the hire and where UW goes from here. 

Will UW hire him? Does he really want the job? We discuss that and other coaching prospects. 

Long pod. We start with Jimmy Lake & his job status. We review the Oregon game then discuss coaching replacements.

Nothing groundbreaking here. Lake gotta go.
