  • DawgmanRadio: Analyzing the craziness that is the transfer portal

    DawgmanRadio: Analyzing the craziness that is the transfer portal
    Jan 19 2026
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - broke down Washington's portal business now that the end day to enter the transfer portal has come and gone (January 16). Scott did a fantastic job of breaking down how Washington approached this portal cycle, their process, positions of need identified, and how well they achieved balance in those positions in his latest recruiting blog. To start, Scott added some context to his blog thoughts and they talked about any UW players entering the portal Scott was surprised about. And there were a few. After a quick break, the guys talk about any other portal entries that may have seen the 'writing on the wall' and used that as their rationale for entering the portal. To finish out, the guys talk about the 9 portal signings that Jedd Fisch already spoke on this past week, and how well they addressed need. And could the Huskies actually sign more high school players for the 2026 recruiting class? The start date for the regular 2026 prep signing window starts on Wednesday, February 4.

  • EMERGENCY POD: Demond Williams is Back!

    EMERGENCY POD: Demond Williams is Back!
    Jan 9 2026
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together shortly after Demond Williams announced his return to Washington, followed closely by public statements made by UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch and UW AD Pat Chun. They go through the statements, give their initial thoughts on not just the statements but the last 48 hours, and what they think will happen now. Did Demond simply 'see the light' after conversations with Fisch and others, or was it a case of finding out he wasn't nearly as attractive a transfer candidate based on the toxic nature of how events unfolded? And in the end, does any of that matter? And is this a situation where, because Williams simply returned where he came from, everything is good and things go back to status quo? Or will this story end up being a test case to catalyze serious change to the way contracts are drafted and enforced? The guys hash all that out and give their final thoughts on what this means for UW going forward, not just as a program, but also specifically at quarterback because they are still in a situation where they could use another experienced quarterback to back Williams up like Kai Horton did last season.

  • EMERGENCY POD: Demond Williams set to enter the transfer portal

    EMERGENCY POD: Demond Williams set to enter the transfer portal
    Jan 7 2026
    No question about it; the news of UW quarterback Demond Williams Jr to the transfer portal hit the college football world like a ton of bricks. It was unexpected and it will have ripple effects not just for Washington, but the college football world moving forward. We haven't seen it often, but it's going to happen more and more That sounds a bit hyperbolic, but that's how the Dawgman guys - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - see it. After getting their initial thoughts out on the news, how unexpected it was and the reaction not just from them but from sources in and around the UW program, they talk about next steps and what this means not just for Williams, but for UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. Whether you thought the careers of Williams and Fisch were tied together for the 2026 season, you were likely wrong. With Black Monday creating a lot of NFL Head Coaching opportunities, does that mean Fisch will now be looking to leave UW too? Or does it mean Fisch now has the ability to attract another high-level quarterback, someone with the same potential as Williams? And with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting UW will use every available remedy to make sure Williams abides by the contract he just signed days ago, how can Demond ever come back to Montlake now? It sounds like the Big Ten Conference is getting involved too. On the outside, it feels like bridges are being burned by the hour. And lastly, what does this mean for UW now that they have a quarterback opening on their roster? Will the QB transfer dominoes reset? With this news, will other quarterbacks start looking seriously at Washington as a destination? And who could those quarterbacks be? Take everything said on the podcast with a grain of salt; this story is still very warm and continues to develop sidebars. It could very well be that some of the information talked about has already changed in a matter of hours. It's just beginning, so it's hard not to jump to some assumptions or conclusions based on the cursory evidence out there in the public eye.

    DawgmanRadio: All smiles after Washington's 38-10 Bucked Up LA Bowl, Hosted by Gronk win
    Dec 14 2025
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Los Angeles and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - break down all the things that went right in UW's 38-10 win over Boise State, and where the team goes from here, especially knowing their head coach is apparently a wanted man. From the Huskies' point of view, it was a brilliant night from start to finish, as all three phases did their part to keep the Mountain West Champs at bay. The guys talked about that, as well as these other topics... - Demond Williams, his four-touchdown night and his ceiling going into 2026 - Balanced play on offense and a good way for Jonah Coleman to finish off his college career. - Ryan Walters really stepping up to created a strong Washington defense, especially as the season went on. - Turnovers were a big reason for UW jumping out to a big halftime lead and kept the lead growing. - Jedd Fisch said he's coming back to Washington, but will that be true a week or two from now? And does Fisch to Michigan even make sense from a practical point of view at this point in time?
