r/huskies

As I’ve been reading the posts about media predictions for the season, and the fact that many commentators are overall positive about the Huskies, I’ve noticed the complete opposite in the comments here. While I haven’t seen anyone thinking we’ll have a losing season (though I did see one poster who thought we’d go 6-6), most positivity is dismissed or otherwise met with a fair bit of skepticism.

So I guess I’m curious if this is just an odd few vocal members in the community, or a shared sentiment here. I’m also curious if it’s a generational thing; I grew up in the Willingham era, and I know sometimes I feel quite a bit of doubt about our prospects any given year.

As a former UW rower, this was pretty entertaining to watch. The split for the 250m race at the end was decent for a non-rower in decent shape, but it shows how specialized different athletes’ skills are (the boys on the crew team could hold this for an hour). Obviously the football players are phenomenal athletes, just built and trained for different purposes. Now I’d love to see them trade places, and watch some gangly rowers run some DB or receiver drills against their football counterparts :).

Good on these Dawgs for being curious, trying something new, and getting out of their comfort zone.

Go Huskies.

How many are we looking to take? Seems like we have a really good chance with Huard and Fujikawa, then theres AJ Tuivaiave whos a higher 3*.

Fujikawa said he grew up a Huskies fan and McMillan is from the same high school, but hes got enough talent to also have Oregon, Ohio State and Bama going after him and inviting him to camps.

Huard is a legacy thats the highest rated of the 3.

AJ has a lot of pure physical upside but seems to be falling down the rankings over the last year.

Brit here - spending a few days in Seattle before cruising Alaska. My wife and I are coming to the game vs Eastern WA in September.

We’ve bought Huskies merch, we’re fully in the spirit and so excited for the experience.

Any recommendations for how to go about an entire game day? We’re going to go experience Sailgating, anything else?

Go Huskies!

This fall me and some friends will be, respectfully, visiting for the Iowa game and I find it crazy that pretty much all the sailgating charters appear to be sold out already. I understand that Iowa fans travel decently well but are these sailgating charters just very small or are they extremely popular?

Would love to get some advice from the locals/regulars on recommendations for game day in Seattle. I would love to experience sailgating as it seems extremely unique but I am okay going without it if it’s a relatively small amount of people who actually participate or if anyone has the gall to say its overrated.

I’m going to the Nebraska game. It’s going to be a blackout. Should I wear purple or white? The team is likely to wear white right? Also worried about how we will handle a road environment like that. Thanks. Go dawgs.

Going to my first game this year (either Iowa or Minnesota game). What are some of the best sections to be at and some to stay away from?

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Washington one

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Washington went 9-4 and blew out Boise State in the bowl, and now returns 16% of its offensive production. Demond Williams Jr. is back off 3,065 yards and 25 touchdowns, but he did that behind a line that gave up 33 sacks, 114th in the country. My model has you at 7-5. Can Williams carry a rebuilt offense, or does the protection finally catch up?

I'll be in the comments.
