Hardcore Husky Podcast: Humdinger Huskies Now in a Class by Themselves

DerekJohnson

An explosive offense that made the needed plays against a tough, physical Utah team. A defense that gave viewers heartburn in the first half but somehow saved the day in the end. A remarkable head coach that suffuses positivity into his players regardless of circumstance. These are the 2023 Washington Huskies: 10-0 for only the second time in school history and headed to Corvallis for a showdown with 8-2 Beavlet.

We also answer questions from posters and succeeded in not going down the Texas A&M rabbit hole. The show opens with A.I. Norm MacDonald responding to a listener question. Editor's note: During the broadcast, the poster BananasNBlondes sent in a $50 donation to Hardcore Husky, along with a demand that Cowboy Pup be brought back for show openings. Cowboy Pup shall return next week!

Yes, this is a cheap plug to the fact that the pod has an official Twitter account now.

Of course Stalin would bring up Korean baseball in one of the most bizarre tangent. We get it you like Korean women

I’m not going to go into my feelings about the chatter on the pod about the female ref, but you have to remember that a PAC 12 ref is probably going to suck regardless of race, gender, etc.

The refs this week at the Colorado game were terrible too. One Buff fan shouted “so glad we’re leaving this shitty conference!” An Arizona fan, two rows behind him, shouted “amen, brother!”


And RE: the baseball stuff, the Japanese love the home run celebration stuff. Look at any of Shohei Ohtani’s stuff - he always throws on a samurai helmet and does crazy shit.

I think the Chest term you were looking for was the "advanced metrics"

If I can find a fella that loves me as much as @HeretoBeatmyChest loved his Sagarin Rankings, I’d be a very happy woman.

Making wives happy isn't that difficult.

Hey it finally dawned on my mental peanut that I was being way too self-absorbed about posting Korean videos of all stripes to an audience that had little to no interest. During the years when the only thing keeping me attached to UW football was the fact I ran this site, I felt entitled to also post things that really interested me in order to keep me engaged, because I was disheartened with the whole state of UW football. But I don't need to do that so much anymore, for a variety of reasons. The arrival of DeBoer and departure of Jen among them.

Furthermore, the reference on the pod started with Japanese baseball before I corrected myself and realized it was Korean baseball, where flipping the bat when hitting a homer was accepted showmanship as part of the game, in contrast to the Huskies being flagged for a celebration penalty where it was considered disrespectful to the opponent or whatever. Nothing bizarre about the point at all. It was spot on, if I do say so myself.

Also, Cauce hiring Dannen heartened me a lot. it signaled that woke politics are hopefully over with at the UW athletic department, and we're back to a meritocracy and trying to find the right people to win now as top priority.

The first 49 minutes were consensual.
