Andrew and Gabey share some sloppy takes on the Spring Game and Softball
All We Hear Is Purple - Coach, Forever
Andrew and Coach B take a break from taking a break from podcasting to talk about some wide-ranging Husky football topics. First, they let Chat GPT take the lead with topic suggestions and get into some fun conversation about talent development and recruiting philosophy.
There isn’t a lot of new news on the football field, but they did talk about Austin Mack. The QB’s commitment, reclassification, and enrollment seemingly came out of nowhere, which goes to show the level of backup planning it takes to keep a QB room together.
Finally, Andrew and Coach talk about the future of the Pac-12. From conference membership to media rights deals, they cover the dominoes that must fall in order to keep the conference viable over the long term. Are SDSU and SMU the answer? Is Apple TV the answer? Just when you think you know the answers, we change the questions.

All We Hear Is Purple - The 40-Carry Game Plan
The Beavers are coming to town for a Friday night showdown, so Coach B joins the podcast for a discussion of Jonathan Smith’s project in Corvallis. Andrew and Coach B talk about the Beavers’ proclivity to keep the ball on the ground despite a balanced group of skill-position players from all over the map. They also discuss how OSU will try to slow down the Husky offense and whether Cal’s game plan is a useful template or the product of a series of unlucky coin flips.
From there, they move on to the state of the Pac-12. The Dawgs have a tall mountain to climb to get into the Pac-12 Title Game. Oregon has the inside track, but USC, UCLA, and Utah all have a good chance to stay in the mix. Who is going to finish strong to make the title game?
Finally, Andrew and Coach B turn their eyes away from Husky Stadium to talk about local HS football, UW soccer, and Filipino food.
Make sure you listen to the end to see if Cody Pickett shows up.

All We Hear Is Purple - The Princeton Crew Spectacular
Max and Andrew start with a recap of the Cal game. The talk about the illusion of defensive superiority, a running back rabble, and a group of Cal players who sound like villains from the movie Trading Places.
Next, they take advantage of the bye week to hand out some midseason awards- MVPs, breakout players, disappointments, and the best moment of the season.
Before wrapping up, they make sure to talk about Noel Fielding and the Great British Baking Show yet again, plus the impenetrable accents of Derry Girls and whether we’re more likely to die from bioweapons or getting swallowed by the sun. You know, the usual fare.
Go Dawgs!!

All We Hear Is Purple - The Angry Farmer with Coach Heather Tarr
That’s because today we’re joined by a certified cool person. What makes their coolness certifiable?
Well when you’re a former All-Pac-10 infielder, the all-time winningest UW coach across all sports, a national champion, the head coach for Team USA, and a general Redmond #icon (go Mustangs amiright?), that’s certifiably kickass. It’s basically science.
If you hadn’t figured it out by now, we’re talking about Washington Softball Head Coach Heather Tarr.
We talk about:
The human component of managing a program
Husky Softball Stadium concession stand hot dogs
Team America (and Seattle U) and coaching against former players and assistants
Chris Petersen being a wise, Gandalf-like figure
The evolution of recruiting the last 15 years
The evolution of batting the last 15 years
The psychology of going from high school depth player to college star
What do Gabbie Plain and Danielle Lawrie have in common in their ass-kickingness despite them being, from the outside looking in, complete opposites?
Differences offensively between ‘22 Washington and ‘21 Washington
Becoming a head coach before turning 30
Andrew’s favorite author of late
Ozark. Also Clueless.
Plus, a cameo from Cat Tarr — the tragedy of this episode being that podcasting is sadly an auditory medium and thus none of you get to see him. So you’ll have to just trust us, he was a great cat right there.

All We Hear Is Purple - Exhale Doubt with Deontae Cooper
Not only is Deontae a delightful person, but he has some great insight into all sorts of aspects of the game, both as a player and now a coach. This episode, we talked to him about:
Taking over as the head coach at Highline High School and leading them Disney movie-style to their first KingCo 2A title since the Eisenhower administration
The difference in recruiting when he was in high school versus now, and how he tries to aid his players in the process
The mental and physical aspect of going through — and overcoming — so many injuries
How strength and conditioning has changed from the 20th century to his time to now
What makes a good coach, and what he learned from the three different head coaches in his college career
What went into his decision to transfer after so long at Washington, and how that set the stage for him returning to the Puget Sound after college
Dawgs he’s looking forward to watching next season
Who worked him so hard during a conditioning session that he took the 3:10 express train to vom city

All We Hear Is Purple - I’m not saying anything profound (ft. Holly Hunter*)
In other words, not that much, except:
Now the coaching staff is complete, we are contractually obligated to have opinions on them
Gabey being an idiot who’s German-ass brain takes over when deciding the pronunciation of “Inge”
Early signing day, in which the Dawgs have a class small enough that they could be a normal-sized boy band
Remaining potential targets for 2022, headlined of course by Josh Conerly
The addition of Michael Penix Jr.
