Advertise on podcast: Double Dawgcast: A UW Sports Podcast

We come out of podcasting retirement to individually monologue and ramble about the Seattle Seahawks and their triumph against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX, the joys this team has brought to the region, how this team became legends over the course of the season, and reflecting back on being a city that has a sports world championship. See you all at the next championship victory! Seahawks defeat Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX: https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401772988/seahawks-patriots

It’s the end of two eras as we release our last episode of the podcast (at least for the foreseeable future), so give a listen as we eulogize the Mike Hopkins era of Washington basketball and the strange feelings we have after actually seeing the end of his coaching tenure. We also dive into replacement candidates for the basketball program, the new coaching staff and roster for football, and a roundup on the NFL combine and upcoming NFL draft. We close with a recap on a near 4.5 year journey that we’ve been on doing the show with full hearts and big smiles. Thanks for listening and we’ll speak again soon.

The start of the new year saw near mountain top views for the Washington Husky football team before descending into absolute chaos with a coaching change at the top. We dive into our reactions of the two post season games, the gratitude we have for the players on this shooting star of a team, the emotional whiplash of the past six days, and our thoughts on the new coach. Plus a discussion about where UW sits in the pecking order of this new look of college football, some heated thoughts about agents, and how sports truly do build bonds. @32:54: The Looney Tunes episode is called “Long-Haired Hare” where Bugs Bunny impersonates Leopold Stokowski. #2 Washington defeats #3 Texas 37-31 in the Sugar Bowl: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401551788/longhorns-huskies #1 Michigan defeats #2 Washington 34-13 in the National Championship game: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401551789/huskies-wolverines Head coach Kalen DeBoer to Alabama as the new Crimson Tide head coach: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/report-uw-huskies-coach-kalen-deboer-negotiating-contract-to-succeed-nick-saban-at-alabama/ Washington hires Jedd Fisch, formerly at Arizona, as new head football coach: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/reports-washington-targeting-arizonas-jedd-fisch-to-be-next-head-coach/ Husky player portal/draft tracker: https://www.uwdawgpound.com/2024/1/12/24036481/husky-portal-draft-player-tracker-uw-washington-huskies-football
