The Cylinder Rule

Frank starts off the show with a major announcement: UW basketball is officially on compete watch and Rutgers is a must-win game. The NBA is bad because of…video game ratings?

America participated in the best hate watch of the year on Sunday as the Chiefs got smacked by the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Frank discusses his halftime show thoughts, and UW men’s basketball is on life support. Is Zoom Diallo good? And UW baseball should pick up who?

Fellow sports writer Jared joins the show to give the twins an insight into Northwestern Basketball for its upcoming game against the Huskies. Super Bowl doomsday scenarios, NBA trade bonanza, and Frank is going THROUGH IT with his classes.

The results are in…and they aren’t great. All of America lost this past weekend and Danny and Frank debate whether or not they’ll even watch the big game. In other news, Mac McClung is an official dunk contest participant and the boys make their prediction for the 3 Point Contest. Finally, Frank shares his thoughts on the Super Bowl Halftime show can he name 5 Charlotte Hornets?

Ohio State wins the much anticipated first 12-team playoff title in convincing(ish) fashion. Danny and Frank make their predictions for the NBA dunk contest participants and judges. UW basketball has to turn things around quick if it wants to see any type of postseason play and whoa, Gonzaga lost to Oregon State and Santa Clara.

With only the National Championship left and UW basketball sinking toward the bottom of the standings, Danny and Frank can’t help but feel like the sports calendar is doing them dirty. In other news, Frank doesn’t know who’s good in the NBA, and video game ratings need to go back to the good old days.

Oregon remains ringless for another season and the boys are fired up. Demond Williams shines in the Sun Bowl and future for UW football looks bright. The College Football Playoff fell flat. Men’s basketball — are they good or bad? Also, an original segment makes its long awaited return.

Some rather unpleasant things occurred in Eugene over the weekend and the brothers aren’t too pleased about it. What the future hold for Demond Williams and conference championship week is upon us. The boys conclude the show with putting all their future hopes and dreams into the UW men’s basketball team (which may not be the best move).

Danny and Frank traverse the happening of the college football landscape and once again debate who even is good after multiple SEC teams lose. Is UW basketball really even bad at all? And finally, the boys dive head first into their distain for Oregon and go on tangents even Stephen A. Smith would be proud of.

The Huskies clinch bowl eligibility powered by the nerds? Should Demond Williams or Will Rogers start as QB against Oregon? The SEC doomsday scenario is becoming more real by the day, and Danny turns into John Gruden. UW basketball is not looking good—the boys think it might be time to press the panic button. 

Danny and Frank list all the things that would better use their time than attending the upcoming game. UW Football has been a downer for sure, but things are looking up with the upcoming basketball season.

Danny and Frank discuss the significance of the win over USC for the rest of the season. Will Washington make the Sun Bowl? Penn State is upset after its loss to Ohio State, and it's making Frank nervous for next week. Also, Washington basketball is officially back!

The Indiana game went just as the twins suspected, which made them very sad. Notre Dame disrespected our troops and is USC good? Miller Moss has a Heisman name and Danny and Frank can't stand a certain 90's rock band.

The boys recap another entertaining week of college football. The service academies are still rolling, and a surprise SEC team jumps into the top 25. A preview of upcoming Indiana quickly turns into another Frank rant, and his potential Halloween costume will shock you!

The Huskies suffered an embarrassing defeat to the Iowa Hawkeyes last week, leaving the players unhappy. Oregon won its big matchup against Ohio State, which was disappointing. The discussion includes some preseason basketball talk, and Frank makes up for last week’s song of the week.

We beat a ranked No. 10 opponent at home. Frank definitely does not like Fisch. The Belichecks are also on thin ice. It’s good they helped beat Michigan though. Vanderbilt has the upset of the week, in a week full of upsets.

Even though UW lost Friday, the brothers talked about some good plays they saw from other teams. Things aren’t looking too good for Washington, especially with the upcoming game against Michigan. There’s no room for mistakes this weekend, and UW is a team that often makes them.

Jedd Fisch "showed improvement" in this game, though the brothers are not impressed. They are excited about Jonah Coleman, however, who hurdled two defenders—give him the ball! Can The Cylinder Rule attend a bowl game? Only time will tell.

Danny and Frank break down the devastating loss from Saturday's Apple Cup game, criticizing Jedd Fisch's coaching. Sad game, maybe many tears were shed. Will the Huskies make a comeback this week against Northwestern?

The Huskies made another slow start but still prevailed. Giles Jackson made a spectacular hurdle, and Decker DeGraaf was a touchdown machine. Danny and Frank analyze the defensive line and prepare for the Apple Cup this weekend.

Jonah Coleman really stood out at Saturday's game, a good look for the Huskies. The brothers also debrief other college games, comparing players and game stats. They give offensive and defensive picks for the upcoming week as well.

Frank is always right with his predictions. The brothers talk about recent upsets and name 3 player picks they are keeping an eye on this season. They also get in a heated argument about score predictions for the upcoming game against the Weber State Wildcats this weekend. Can Frank go one episode without hating on Wilhelm? Not this week!

Danny and Frank discuss the upcoming Apple Cup and UW Football season, as well as ranking playoff teams. How is the preseason looking for the Huskies? No matter what, Oregon needs to WATCH OUT.

Danny and Frank briefly talk about the lackluster NBA playoffs before jumping into some new content. The brothers deep dive into the recent Apple Music Top 100, released May 22. They then talk about candy they hate, and creatively compare the Oregon Ducks to the worst of all: black licorice.

Danny and Frank talk ball. A lot. They also talk about the new EA Sports College Football 25 game that comes out July 19. And stick to the end for what every Husky loves to hear — some well deserved hate for UO Ducks and WSU "sewer rats".
