Hardcore Husky Football Podcast

Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog hung out this Saturday morning and talked about all kinds of topics. This includes Demond Williams, an improved UW defensive line, the 1985 Husky-Duck game, Marcel Reese showing up on the Food Network and a lovely virtual tour of Hamilton, WA.

Come hang out with Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog as they look back at the Husky season as well as peer into the future. Included in the conversation are many digressions upon digressions.

Come join the boys as they break down Washington's 31-19 win over UCLA and look ahead to the Nov 30 game against #1 Oregon in Eugene. Shout outs to Purple Baze, Crispy Eaterson and Lester Towns.

The pod opens with your host deploying an ill-conceived joke that went misunderstood. It was then followed by a five minute argument about whether Chris Petersen was a generational evaluator of talent. It could only go downhill from there as the boys hung out and talked about Washington's 26-21 win over USC.

The boys are feeling pretty glum on this Sunday morning following Washington's 31-17 loss to Indiana. Shout outs to Canadawg and Maurice Shaw.

Derek and Joey talk about several things including the UW QB situation, Oregon being ranked #1, the liklihood of Indiana's backup QB setting records against the Huskies this Saturday and how USC's win over Michigan no longer looks impressive as Jen Cohen's Trojans lose to Maryland. (Does Jen have the cajones to fire Riley?)

Note: Riverside kicked Joey out of the studio near the end of the show, and so the show ends rather abruptly. But besides that, the recording clarity was good for the episode.

We hit the trifecta yesterday. USC lost to Minnesota, Kalen DeBoer's Alabama lost to lowly Vanderbllt, and YOUR Washington Huskies beat Michigan 27-17. Come hang out with Derek, WoolleyDoog and Joey as the boys celebrate and break it all down.

With no Stalin this week, Joey and WoolleyDoog are Home Alone in the Kremlin. Enjoy!

Come hang out with Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog as they discuss the win over Northwestern and other UW-related topics.

The boys review Washington' 30-9 win over Eastern Michigan. Special shout outs to PGOS, the Nacho Man Savage and Doog Legend success story Zach Durfee. All right here on your Riverside recorded Hardcore Husky Podcast. Hoorah!

Join Derek, WoolleyDoog and the artist formerly known as JoeEDangerously, as the trio break down Washington's 35-3 win over Weber State on Saturday night at Husky Stadium. PostGameOrangeSlices received multiple shout outs.

The boys are back and talking Husky Football! Joey predicts 10 wins including a triumph at Autzen Stadium. WoolleyDoog says he'll accept a loss to UCLA if it means wins over Oregon and USC. And Derek leads the trio down the Joe Delaney rabbit hole.

Come hang out with Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog for a Huskies temperature check. Shout outs to PostGameOrangeSlices and Swen Nator.

Come hang out with Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog. There's lots to talk about in the aftermath of ten Huskies being drafted, including three in the first round!

Derek and Koopdog, aka The Sweatpants General, discuss all sorts of things, like will the Tybo Rogers situation impact Kalen DeBoer, how much money did Mike Price lose by being fired by Bama and then coaching at UTEP, and how Koop wouldn't bat an eye if he saw Steve Belichick dumpster diving in the U-District.

Well it took the fellas a few minutes to get warmed up in this one (they spent the first 20 minutes complaining about the current state of college football). But then they got going with a solid hour of fun football talk! Shout outs to Dirtysowfdawg, PurpleBaze, Race Bannon and Fudgie (aka BackthePack).

Happy St Patrick's Day! Do you have any Irish in ya? Would you like some Irish in ya? Come hang out with the boys as they discuss the late Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy. They discuss Lynott's personal history and cool magnetism and list their favorite songs and guitar solos. As JoeEDangerously put it, "Thin Lizzy was a rock band's rock band."

Come join Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog as they review the first four games of Washington's amazing 2023 season. It's part one of a four part series!

Come hang out with us as Derek and Doogles talked a bunch of Husky Football and Big Ten weakness on this Saturday morning. Plus, Doogles tells his story of running into Ohio State coach John Cooper.

Derek, Joey and Woolley assess the state of Washington Football in the early stages of the Jedd Fisch era. The boys resisted the impulse to go down the Germie Bernard rabbit hole.

Derek, Joey and Woolley are reeling today as they try to make sense of Kalen DeBoer bolting for Bama. After just two seasons and a 25-3 record, DeBoer ain't here no mo! It's also clear that DeBoer coached the national championship game while in negotiations with Alabama. Suddenly, UW's super bright future proves to be a mirage as the team is gutted and adrift on the seas of mediocrity. Derek makes a half-hearted pitch for Pete Carroll as an emergency stop gap. Names like Jed Fisch and Keith Gilbertson pop up in the conversation. (We'll leave it to the listeners to discern whether we were serious or not). Fudgie was supposed to join us but never showed up. As we concluded the broadcast we went to do a buddy check to make sure Fudgepacker is doing okay.

Derek, WoolleyDoog, JoeEDangerously and guest Haie commiserate after Washington's disappointing loss to Michigan in the national championship game last night.

It's happening! Washington knocks off the playcalling genius and master of deception Steve Sarkisian and Texas to advance to the National Championship game vs Michigan! As the late Pup would said, "Holy fuckall!"

Enjoy!

Come hang out with Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog as they look back on the 2023 season and announce the winners of the Fake Tough Guy of the Year, The Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy of the Year, and the Pup Memorial Post of the Year.

Derek and Koopdog (aka The Sweatpants General) get together for their annual Oktoberfest that this year became Decemberfest. They talked about the 2023 Huskies season, Michael Penix and the Heisman, Rome Odunze and the Biletnikoff Award, old battles with Greg Lewis, Koop's viral meme of Chris Petersen that rankled Auburn University's athletic department, as well as shout outs to Muhammad Ali, Gerry Cooney, Fudgie, Muttzen and SFGBob. (There's a motley group for ya).

The boys are joined by Haie from the Hardcore Husky message boards. Come hang out with us as we discuss the end of the regular season and look forward to the Sugar Bowl showdown with Sark's Texas Longhorns. Also, December donators got their shoutouts!

Come hang out with Derek and JoeEDangerously as they revel in Washington's 34-31 win over Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship Game. They give tons of shout outs to UW players who came through on the big stage. They also discuss Kirk Herbstreit's incessant slobbering all over Bo Nix and Oregon. They answer listener questions and WoolleyDoog makes a memorable cameo on the pod. Note: Derek totally forgot to give shout outs to donators from the past two days. We will be having another podcast very soon and he promises to deliver the shout outs on that episode. Also of note, Derek did keep his promise to BananasNBlondes to play the notorious "Fancy Feast" Pup rant to start the show (since the Huskies beat Oregon). Derek finds the rant juvenile and distasteful and all we can say is that listener discretion is advised.

Joey is getting angry! Come join the fellas with special guest Doogles as we dissect the Apple Cup and look toward Friday night's Pac-12 Championship showdown between the Oregon Ducks and YOUR Washington Huskies. Joey goes off on several rants, WoolleyDoog issued a threat (which was edited out) and Doogles cited the moments during the Apple Cup when he was eyeballing the liquor cabinet. This episode is replete with Seinfeld references and we tried to get to all our listeners' questions.

Washington bid Oregon State adieu last night in Corvallis with a 22-20 win. Nobody knows when these two teams will ever play again. The Beavs move on to the Civil War game with Oregon, while Washington will take on the Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction Cougs in what might be the final Apple Cup ever this coming Saturday. The boys break it all down with special guest CFetters_Nacho_Lover. We also answer listener questions!

An explosive offense that made the needed plays against a tough, physical Utah team. A defense that gave viewers heartburn in the first half but somehow saved the day in the end. A remarkable head coach that suffuses positivity into his players regardless of circumstance. These are the 2023 Washington Huskies: 10-0 for only the second time in school history and headed to Corvallis for a showdown with 8-2 Beavlet.

We also answer questions from posters and succeeded in not going down the Texas A&M rabbit hole. The show opens with AI Norm MacDonald responding to a listener question. Editor's noteL During the broadcast, the poster BananasNBlondes sent in a $50 donation to Hardcore Husky, along with a demand that Cowboy Pup be brought back for show openings. He shall return next week.

Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog enjoy the big win over USC. Of course, there were a couple of regressions where we complained about the refs and discussed the woes on defense. But a fairly upbeat podcast where we enjoy the 9-0 Dawgs. Admittedly, we failed to mention Dillon Johnson and his 256 yards rushing until late in the show, for which we apologized. We also answer a bunch of listener questions. The show opens with A.I. Norm MacDonald reading a graphic post from PurpleJ and then expressing his disappointment over said post.

Another week, another anxiety-inducing game against another greased-up inferior opponent. The smoke has cleared, the dust has settled, and UW remains unbeaten. Come hang out with Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog as they break it all down and answer questions from our valued posters.

The boys dissect, joke, analyze and kvetch over UW's desultory win over ASU Saturday night. Washington somehow retained its #5 ranking in the AP poll. Credit to LoneStarDawg for this week's episode title.

When all looked lost, Santa Lanning gave the Huskies one last chance. Big Penix Energy took advantage of the situation and scored the game-winning TD. Now the Dawgs are 6-0 and its all blue skies and uplifting tailwinds for Washington.

The boys start with "Cool Story Bro Story Hour" before launching into excitable talk about the upcoming battle of the unbeatens... The Washington Huskies and Michael Penix vs the Oregon Ducks and Bo Nix. Husky Stadium will be rockin' like it did for the 2000 Miami Hurricanes game.

The boys talked immediately after the UW-Arizona game and discussed the numerous issues that plagued this game. They also cited a handful of silver linings. The show opens with AI Pup attacking former Hardcore Husky poster tierbsHsotBoobs, aka "Sven".

Another day another win over Cal. Come hang out with us as we shoot the bull and talk Husky football. Also plenty of Evan Weaver hot talk.

Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog react to Washington's easy win over Sparty, then go on to have an impromptu airing of grievances. Enjoy!

The boys give their assessment of Washington's 43-10 win over Tulsa before turning their attention to Michigan State and its suspended coach Mel Tucker. Plus, your usual assortment of camaraderie and malarkey.

The boys talk about Washington's 56-19 win over Boise State yesterday at sunny Husky Stadium. The game featured Boise fans mooning the Husky crowd, physical play from Asa Turner and Dillon Johnson possibly being the reincarnation of Wayne Taulapapa. The show opens with AI Pup responding to the one time Stalin took three days off from Hardcore Husky and his concerns about going on his own sabbatical.

Even with our professional mics and sound equipment, we were no match tonight for the background noise and awful karaoke that competed with our football pod. We will find quieter surroundings in the future. We almost didn't post this episode but then I'd be facing some angry emails and you wouldn't want to answer my emails for a day, you just wouldn't.

And so, with all apologies in advance, here is our second annual Preseason Meltdown Pod.

The show opens with BackThePack (aka Fudgepacker) arguing with Pup.

Come hang out with Derek, Joey and WoolleyDoog as they mostly revel in the news that Washington and Oregon are joining the Big 10 Conference! Will the mountainless, cultureless mess of Midwest states take to the patented malarkey of Hardcore Husky? But first, there's a final Pac-12 season to play!

Derek, JoeEDangerously and WoolleyDoog are joined by CFettersNachoLover. It's an Emergency Meeting! Also, WSU has been a squatting houseguest in this conference for over 100 years!
