Well, he's trying anyway… I only saw one or two used-car salesman smiles

If you haven't listened to the coaches show Fisch says some crazy uncompetitive things that Castricone, who's normally sunshine and roses, clearly felt awkward about and moved the conversation along
-
I listened to this presser a few hours ago but something just occurred to me. Toward the beginning Fisch says his players have been practicing in the dark and in the rain at 6PM and lovin' it. He's hoping for Husky weather on Saturday when the boys from SoCal are here.
Later on in the presser, some reporter asks him if he has seen example in his past of tough weather showing its impact on opponents. Fisch said maybe when like the Miami Dolphins travel to New England, but besides that not really.

I’m no Jedd apologist but you’re letting your disdain for Fish color everything he says to fit your feelings. If UW is practicing in the dark, wet and windy weather daily and USC is practicing in LA then that’s an assumed advantage for UW whether Fish has first hand experience coaching to it or not. That’s what he’s saying. DeBoer practiced inside Dempsey when the weather was poor and subsequently the rainy weather in Seattle never seemed like an advantage to the Huskies when he was here. I always thought that was weird. I take issue with a lot of stuff Fish says but this isn’t one of them. I’m glad he’s leaning into “Dawg weather” or whatever stupid name he gives it. Take every advantage you can scrape together when you’ve got a line that can’t block.

it's possible you're right

good reminder of one of my things I pointed out about DeBoer last year and the weather. I had heard any time the weather was remotely rainy he would go into the Dempsey and be whiny and it wasn’t a great scenario for him wanting to stay at UW with his offense. Then we played like shit almost any time in wet weather and got really bad weather luck in 2023.
I’ll take it as a rare positive this year if Fisch embraces the weather and thats genuine. Having a home field disadvantage was one the slight downsides of DeBoer.

Come and listen to my story
‘Bout a man named Jedd
A slippery kinda coach
Always moved his family's spread
And then one day
He was lookin' at his screen
And up through the pixels came a chance to be seen
By millions that is, purple ‘n gold, Husky nobility
Well the first thing you know
Ol' Jedd's a multi-millionaire
Coach folk said, "Jedd get the hell up there"
Said, "Greatest Setting is the place you outta be"
So they loaded up the jet
And flew on Anna Marie
Vagabond that is, don't get comfy, keep your shoes on
Y'all pony up now, y'hear? -
Maybe baking DeBoer a cake would've helped
-
Yeah he sucked
Glad we got fish
-
I don't want Jedd over DeBoer the weather thing reminded me of just another reason I felt like DeBoer was going to leave.
