    DawgmanRadio: Breaking down Washington's dramatic 21-14 win over the Michigan State Spartans

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in East Lansing, Mich. and Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together after Washington's 21-14 win over the Michigan State Spartans and they had plenty to talk about. For a game they won, there were certainly a lot of reasons to suggest they could have easily lost the game. But it says something about the grit and determination to find a way to pull out the win when overcoming a lot of hiccups along the way, most notably the change in schedule due to the FAA ground stop that forced the Huskies to get into East Lansing, Mich. at 3:30 am the morning of the game.  They also talked about the play of Demond Williams, thoughts about looking to see what Elijah Brown could have done in the fourth quarter before the game-winning drive, and how they were shooting themselves in the foot with drops, while also coming up with huge catches down the field. They were constantly making life so much tougher for themselves than they needed to.  They also talked about the two halves played by Washington's defense, how the slow starts plagued them again yet were able to come out after halftime and rack up their second-straight second half shutout, including the two key second-half turnovers they generated. The guys also talked about the decision by UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch to push Michigan State out of field position in the first half, only to give up big plays on two different fourth downs to eventually give up their second (and what turned out to be their last points) score to the Spartans.  The guys also talked about some of the same talking points that they'll have to deal with next weekend against Indiana, namely trying to generate a run game, before offering up their final thoughts on the win in East Lansing.

    DawgmanRadio: Our Michigan State pregame show!

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in East Lansing, Mich. and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together bright and early this morning to break down their thoughts on today's game between Washington and Michigan State.  Kim starts the show out by setting the scene as he gets ready to head out of his hotel room to Spartan Stadium. It's already been an interesting 18 hours as the FAA grounded all takeoffs nationally in the early afternoon (first such grounding since 9/11), which meant Washington didn't leave Seattle until around 8:30 pm PT or so last night. So the game has been pushed back 75 minutes and will start at 2:30 pm PT instead of the original 1:15 pm PT start time. The guys talk about a historic day for flying and just how the Huskies were affected by the news. And they weren't the only ones affected; UW Men's Hoops had to reschedule their game for Sunday at 11 am PT instead of the 4 pm PT gametime that had originally been scheduled for today.   But talking about today's football game, it looks like it's going to be a cold but dry day in East Lansing, so what can Washington's offense get done against the Spartans' defense? And then flipping the script, what will be UW's defensive game plan to keep Michigan State hemmed in? And will this be a game where Hunter Green looms large?  The guys also talk about the big Thursday news that Columbia Bank secured the 10-year naming rights to Husky Stadium for $70 million. What other assets are out there for UW Athletics as far as potential revenue streams?  Scott provides a quick recruiting update before the guys give their final thoughts and keys to today's game.

    The Mac and Mounger Show: Prepping for Michigan State

    The Washington Huskies are still fighting for bowl eligibility following a 28-25 home loss against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Another slow start for Jedd Fisch's Dawgs led to a 28-3 deficit at halftime. Demond Williams and the Husky offense came to life in the second half, while the Washington defense pitched a shutout in the final two quarters as the Huskies crawled their way back into contention. Nevertheless, a procedural miscue on third and five allowed Penn State to move the chains when the Huskies were on the brink of regaining possession with a chance to take the lead. Former interns Jack and Luke begin their episode by assigning a grade to Washington's up-and-down effort in their third straight home loss. Next, Jack and Luke turn their attention to the upcoming tilt with Michigan State, who is coming off an impressive win over the Michigan Wolverines. Listen in as the duo share their thoughts on this upcoming matchup, which represents Washington's best remaining chance of bowl eligibility before closing against Indiana and Oregon.

    DawgmanRadio: Getting to know Michigan State with Spartan Tailgate's Stephen Brooks

    Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Stephen Brooks, the beat writer from Spartan Tailgate, the 247Sports' site covering Michigan State athletics, and Stephen was nice enough to offer some insight into what Washington fans should expect to see from the Spartans this upcoming Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. Starting with setting the scene, Kim and Stephen talk a little about Michigan State and the last time UW played back at Spartan Stadium in 2023 and the mood around the program when Pat Fitzgerald was named the head coach ahead of the 2026 season. Stephen also offers up some insight into the Spartans' up-and-down season, which has culminated so far in an upset victory over in-state rivals Michigan this past weekend. Then they get into the matchup of Michigan State's offense versus Washington's defense. Stephen talked about the key contributors on that side of the ball for the Spartans, as well as what has held them back on offense this season. There's also a connection there as Michigan State's OC is Nick Sheridan, who was Washington's TE Coach under Kalen DeBoer, and Stephen talks about what he's done so far in East Lansing. They switch sides and Stephen talks about the defensive standouts that the Spartans will count on to try and stop Demond Williams and the UW offense. It's a group that Stephen says has 'outplayed expectations'. And if the Spartans have a chance at a field goal to win it all, how confident is Stephen that Michigan State will come away with the victory? To finish the preview, Stephen talks about the game day atmosphere and the crowd that is expected for a classic Big Ten game played in Michigan in November.

    DawgmanRadio: Breaking down the two halves of Washington's loss to Penn State

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to discuss Washington's 28-25 loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium. It was a tale as old as Dickens, a story of two halves where PSU went ahead 28-6 in the first half and UW shut Penn State out in the second half 19-0. But in the final result, the scoreline flatters the home team because they were thoroughly defeated all the way around.  Demond Williams started the game and for the first half it looked like he hadn't done enough to continue playing. How close was Elijah Brown from coming into the game? And what changed in the second half that UW couldn't do in the first half?  So much to break down, and the guys dump all of their postgame thoughts into the blender.

    DawgmanRadio: Our Penn State pregame show!

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got up extra early this morning to talk all things Penn State-Washington, as the game is set for an early start time (12:30 pm PT). They first talk about the offensive side of the ball, the battle at quarterback between Demond Williams and Elijah Brown, who they expect to start today, which skill players should be able to help the quarterbacks get the ball in the end zone and also how the OL reshuffle could affect UW's ability to move the ball. And will Penn State DC D'Anton Lynn change his gameplay depending on who starts at quarterback? Moving to the other side of the ball, will Ryan Walters employ the same type of defensive game plan against Penn State QB Rocco Becht that he did against Nebraska QB Anthony Colandrea? And just how important could Hunter Green be for the Huskies in a game that, on paper, pits two good defenses against each other? Scott provides a quick recruiting update, including his thoughts on the two 2027 UW commits that decided to decommit. How will the coaches react to these moves? And which recruits are in town to watch the game?

    The Mac and Mounger Show: Penn State Preview

    Washington returns to Montlake with wind in their sails after taking down Nebraska last weekend in Lincoln in an epic come-from-behind manner. With two consecutive road wins under their belt, Jedd Fisch's Huskies are looking to officially enter "Winning Streak" status by picking up a third consecutive victory in a homecoming tilt against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State is coming off a comfortable win over Purdue, but has otherwise struggled in B1G play, allowing over five rushing yards per carry defensively while averaging just 3.3 yards per attempt on the ground. Jack and Luke get together to break down this match up in more in their latest edition of the Mac and Mounger Show. Topics of conversation include who will start under center for the Huskies, a score card for Washington's win over Nebraska, their betting picks for this weeks B1G slate, and more.

    DawgmanRadio: Getting to know Penn State with Fight on State's Daniel Gallen

    Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Daniel Gallen, the beat writer from Fight On State, the 247Sports' site covering Penn State athletics, and Daniel was kind enough to offer some insight into what Washington fans should expect to see from the Nittany Lions. Starting with setting the scene, Kim and Daniel talk a little about Penn State and what makes them special, not just as a Big Ten program but the town of State College and where it sits in Pennsylvania. Then they get into the matchup of Penn State's offense versus Washington's defense. Daniel talked about Rocco Becht, the offensive line, and also how getting a couple of key receivers back from injury could be a big key against Washington on Saturday. They switch sides and Daniel talks about the defensive standouts that the Nittany Lions will count on to try and stop whichever quarterback Washington names as a starter. And if the Nittany Lions have a 42-yard kick to win it all, how confident is Daniel that Penn State will come away with a made field goal? They finish the podcast talking about how well Penn State fans travel and where the Nittany Lions have gone for away games so far this season.
