Cameron Elisara played DL at UW from 2006 to 2010 and was very close to UW's former all-time sack leader Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, who died in 2017 at age 30. Daniel was later diagnosed with CTE by researchers at the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank. Ahead of my Race to End CTE run in Daniel's memory, I interviewed Cameron to better understand the special type of player and person Daniel was.

Music: "Oh My" by Patrick Patrikios

Brandon and Michael put this stanky-ass season to bed, bless Kalen DeBoer as an official OKG, and entertain the rumors of Jake Haener's return to Seattle.

Brandon and Michael laugh at the absurdities of the Colorado game, preview the Apple Cup, remember our favorite Apple Cups, and find the finest Yelp reviews in Pullman.

Oral History of the 2002 Apple Cup podcast

Brandon and Michael react to Jimmy Lake's firing and lay out the attributes we'd want in the next coach of the Huskies.

Brandon and Michael discuss a dour week at the University of Washington with the all kinds of unfortunate Oregon game, the subsequent firing of John Donovan, and Jimmy Lake's striking of Ruperake Fuavai. 

Brandon and Stanton are back at it to discuss the hot-button issues in CFB, namely the monkey bite heard 'round the world and Jimmy Lake's dumb comments about recruiting against Oregon. They also discuss all the things to be positive about following a 20-13 win at Stanford. Then they do the exact opposite. And they preview Saturday's battle of the nerds vs. the jocks against Oregon.

Brandon and Michael reflect on a death-defying act in Tuscon, figure out what the hell the Sam Huard "plan" is, drum up some candidates to be our next OC, and predict how, exactly, Stanford will beat us on Saturday night. Plus, a robust discussion about Detroit-style pizza.
