Derek and Koopdog (aka The Sweatpants General) talked UW football and basketball and even threw some Netflix into the mix. 

It's a Christmas Eve pod for our pods. The first ten minutes is a lot of Inside Baseball, with shout outs and grievances directed toward posters at HardcoreHusky.com. (Outsiders may not know what we're talking about). But then we settle in to a lively conversation about bowl game memories and playing video game football. Merry Christmas to our pods!

What a journey it has been, huh? From being rich, cool and 3-0, to getting embarrassed by Stanford and watching Oregon take UW's spot in the Pac-12 Championship and beating USC... Going forward, is Washington's future bright? Or has UW become Minnesota?  Derek and Doogles discuss.

After three weeks of Doogfest, the honeymoon period is over. A disastrous loss today to Stanford shows glaring warning signs in the Washington football program. Derek and Doogles review the carnage and discuss the critical importance of the upcoming tilt against Oregon. We like to refer to games as "tilts". It's what we like to do.   

Derek and Doogles respond to Washington's Sybil-like performance in beating Utah 24-21 tonight. Lots of shout outs to go around.

Derek and Doogles break down Washington's 44-27 win last night over the Arizona Wildcats. The boys were doogin' on Dylan Morris and looking ahead to what seems to be a monumental game against Oregon in three weeks.

Derek and Doogles break down Washington's 27-21 win over Oregon State, 

Race and iDawg respond to the news that Emmert was bringing back Willingham for the 2008 season. Recorded in December 2007.  

Another classic installment from the Husky Half Brains Podcast. This episode is from Nov 2007, when half the UW defense was playing zone and half was in man-to-man, as WSU's Alex Brink threw for 900 yards to lead the Cuogs to the Apple Cup win. 

Now with a 4-8 record, would the Huskies make a coaching change? Surely a team like UW would hold higher standards than this. I wonder what Race and iDawg had to say. The suspense is killing me!  

In recent years, many newcomers to Hardcore Husky have inquired about the lore of our site. Well, prior to HH there was the Husky Half Brains. They were the precursor. Without the Half Brains, there would be no Hardcore Husky today. 

This episode was from the old Husky Half Brains Podcast that starred Race Bannon and iDawg. In essence, the show ran from 2007-2010. It was created because nobody in the media was criticizing UW coach Tyrone Willingham and athletic director Todd Turner as the losses began to mount on Montlake. This episode was originally titled "After Oregon, before Arizona." As you might guess, both were crushing losses.

Over the next six weeks, we will be posting episodes from the HH podcast. We won't broadcast every one, but will upload at least 8-10 episodes. We will stay in chronological order. 

Big thanks to SpoonieLuv for having saved these episodes to his external drive years ago and then sending them to me yesterday. 

Race and iDawg had great chemistry and their show was fantastic. They ever shared some life lessons to boot. 

Enjoy!
