The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - turned the coffee machine on extra early this morning, so early in fact that they gave Kim Grinolds the morning off after he returned from a long trip back east to cover the Maryland game and Big Ten Basketball Media Days.

And Kim needs to catch up on his sleep because today has the potential to be a famous day in Seattle sports. Not because of a Washington win over Rutgers, but a Mariners playoff triumph over the Tigers to win the American League Division Series.

Let's just say the traffic in and around Seattle is going to be a bit rough with the Mariners game starting at 5 pm local time, an hour before the start of the Rutgers-Washington game.

A silver lining? The rain looks to stay away during the games.

During the 70-minute pregame show, the following topics were discussed:

Will Jacob Manu play or not, depending on whether he still plans on redshirting this season?
The matchup between UW's offense and Rutgers' defense.
Will Maximus McCree start again? And who would back him up?
Should Rutgers spy Demond Williams?
The matchup between Rutgers' offense and UW's defense.
How big would it be to get Tacario Davis back tonight?
Could tonight be the UW debut of freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, and if so, how would he be used?
Recruiting update, including two committed players who are unofficially visiting.
Final Thoughts.
