I don't find it strange that all you want to believe is only that which comforts you. How else do humans invent the traps which betray us into mediocrity?
I want to shoutout Rome, Roger, and Dillon. Three guys that declared for the draft yesterday and had the spotlight stolen by that snake. True Dawgs, I am so happy for them. Thank you for all you did for
@UW_Football
and the sacrifices you made.
@RomeOdunze

I didn’t watch this program go 0-12, watch Sark chase skirts, see the school hire Chris Petersen, and start up a podcast before the Fried Oreo Bowl just to bitch out after our 4th NY6 Bowl in 7 years because our coach left to Bama. We gon be alright. Fuck what you heard.
All that momentum is gone, we finally had commitment from admin on down and throughout the community. And it is just gone. I fucking don’t know how we get that back. I feel like we lost it all.
If you are complaining about being 12-0, or upset because we didn’t “look good” for sometime, or the metrics say we aren’t actually that good. Kindly, fuck off. LFG Dawgs!
New Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer chokes up while thanking Washington to close his opening statement:
"I love you. I will miss you. I want nothing but the best for everyone back there. The journey the last two years has been special."
Lavon Coleman proposed to his girlfriend tonight... on the 50 yard line at Husky Stadium... with the UW band playing... and fireworks. Congrats to
@megatronkid
! A true DAWG!
What a season. Went to 14 out of 15 games, was the time of my life. Made such great friends. My heart is full. The pain of being so close is eased by our shared love for these players, this football program, this athletic department, and this University.

one of the greatest to ever do it for UW will play his last game at Husky Stadium in two days.
Myles Motherfuckin’ Gaskin.
I encourage everyone to use the
#MMFG
hashtag for the remainder of this week and into the weekend. He deserves all of it.
Also, hello
@Boeing
… PUT YOUR ENGINEERS BACK IN CHARGE OF YOUR COMPANY. Stop trying to penny pinch all over the place. Bring headquarters back to Washington and put the engineers in charge of the company again you dolts.
I am just floored, this is my all-time favorite UW team. I am so thankful for you
@UW_Football
. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Onward and upward, get onboard Dawg fans.
#BowDown
I don’t think UW has ever gotten the number one target in a coaching search before. He was the first name I mentioned and know he was the top target for Dannen. I am so damn excited. Fantastic work
@UWHuskies_AD

#PurpleReign
One of the reasons I have been so on edge about the playoff chase this year was simply because I wanted to experience as many games as possible with this team and these players. And here we are, playing game 15. What a blessing.
#PurpleReign
Hello
@AlaskaAir
, please prioritize replacing flights going to Texas over the next two days. Just the most important sporting event in UW history happening. Need our fans to not be impacted.
All nine coaches and Jimmy Lake could resign tomorrow and it would not be worse than losing Kwiatkowski. Words cannot describe how catastrophic this is.
Kalen DeBoer, man. Hats off to him. I knew our on field coaching would improve, but hot damn. What a job. He has won me over. Let’s go get a big bowl win and then get that defense straight for 2023.
There are very few places in America that can match that environment we witnessed today. But the entirety of it: scenery, stadium uniqueness, passion, noise, intensity, make it a truly singular experience.
#BowDownToWashington
If
@UWAthletics
and
@CoachLakeUDUB
wanted to end the debate about best stadium location/setting, I have had an idea that would. Ultimate flex (yes, I know logistics is an issue):
Team arrives by boat to the stadium with police boat escorts and the route is lined with sailgaters:
EMFA DUCKS! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE THE WORST NIGHT OF YOUR LIVES. (Minus the few I like). GET BENT. GO DAWGS. BOW DOWN TO WASHINGTON. ENJOY THE METH! PUMP MY GAS! YOUR MOUNTAINS ARE POINTY, YOUR STATE OUTLINE IS BORING, OREGON WAS ORIGINALLY A WHITE UTOPIA STATE! BOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
If you go after players deciding to move on after they have a degree and would be playing for their fourth coach at UW you can fuck right off. The end.
Years ago I worked with some leaders at UW and said the night before home games the stadium should be lit purple. To see it like this brings tears to my eyes. It is perfect. My god.
I remember when people were saying we will never see a run like 2016 again, then we will never get back to a Rose Bowl again. Then we will never get all these NFL players again. Now we hear it all again. Tune it out. This program is strong.
I will say these three things though:
1) No More Husky Royalty Uniforms
2) Never play the Arizona schools
3) Meesh Powell went to O’DEA HIGH SCHOOL!
#Brotherhood
Saw a Duck fan with the Oregon logo on the back of their car driving on 405 just now. I rolled down my window and gave her a grin, knowing she now knows who runs this rivalry. She continued to drive & seemed genuinely perplexed & slightly disturbed. The cops just pulled me over.
ANNOUNCEMENT: After no prayer, and in consultation with my family, friends, and cats, I have made the decision to support the University of Oregon this weekend. Thank you.
I cannot express how massive this is for the program and just the attitude/psyche of our fanbase.
WE CAN HAVE IT ALL HERE. This place is a big fucking deal. We bow down to fucking no one if we all give a shit.
Donate, buy tickets, post all year about UW Football.
#BowDown
I say this with respect and admiration, honest to Shai Halud: it is incredible that two minutes after UW beat Oregon that Oregon fans, by and large, forgot that we beat them. That is elite shit right there.
I think I am about to see everyone that I know personally that lives and dies Husky football like I do, in Houston next week. It feels like I am getting ready for a family reunion, but with people I genuinely like that truly get me and understand me!
#PurpleReign
This one goes out to all the UW fans that don’t think we can be a big time program… no hate at you, but you need to expand your minds on what UW can be with total commitment from all levels of the program.
I am sitting here at my desk crying like a baby hearing all these great legends on KJR, the 91 team is traveling to the game, and seeing Dillon pop up into my timeline talking Dawgs. I am a mess.
#PurpleReign
To make my stance perfectly clear. I hope USC and UCLA rot like a dead tree in a forest in the B1G. I wish nothing but terrible luck to them and their fans.
I cannot get to New Orleans to watch this team. Been looking for hours, just not doable… we will struggle to get 5-7k there. Barter, trade, promises, whatever it takes, get to the Rose Bowl
@UWHuskies_AD
.
UW gonna have to bump Grubb up to at least 1.5 million this offseason. I would expect to see a significant salary pool increase for UW for a variety of reasons.
All the talk about “the west coast doesn’t care about football” can fuck all the way off! You just got to go to the right places. No one can touch what UW has out west; Husky Stadium is fucking special, man.
First time in such a long time I feel like our QB willed us to a win. When Cal took the lead Penix came out on that TD drive and threw two absolutely incredible passes. He is completely underrated by our fanbase. Just unreal stuff.
Lots of UW players switched jersey numbers, per tradition for their final full practice of the season. That’s Dillon Johnson doing some drills wearing No. 80.
just checked Ticketmaster and already see smatterings of verified resale in our UW section.
Please prioritize asking around to Dawgs first please. A block of 4 seats right behind mine are already on verified resale and I fully expect it to be all Dawgs
Imagine letting go of one of the best beat writers in the Country. If
@UWAthletics
was looking to build their brand in a more authentic way I could not imagine a better option than
@ChristianCaple
. Not like the thing they did with Gregg Bell though. Let Caple Cook.
Give our boy Jack a follow! He’s the kid that Nick Cody weirdly went after at the Rose Bowl and he is heading to Williams College to play football and likely continue to be a very smart person with a bright future! Lakeside represent!
#FollowHim
I am excited to announce my acceptance and commitment to further my academic and football careers at Williams College. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way
#goephs
Not even sure how they handle the start of the offseason, let alone spring ball. What a mess this is.
All the upperclass leadership on the team was going to the draft, so you have no one there to hold it together either.
My curse on the Tide gains strength every second.
This. And I want to apologize. In the heat of the moment I completely spaced in my anger & tweeted the DeBoer name is dead in Seattle and forgot Alexis is starting up with UW Softball next season; a team I love more than anything. Alexis is a Dawg and will be a great Dawg for UW.
Since apparently it needs to be said: Alexis is not her dad. Leave her the fuck out of this. If she wants to follow him or transfer elsewhere, that’s her prerogative. If she wants to stay and rep the purple and gold, we’ll root her on because that’s what Dawgs do
This is going to be the most hyped season since 1992. 2017 doesn’t beat this because we lost some serious talent. 2001 the same, although it was pretty hyped at the time. Absolutely wild.
