OFFICIAL Washington vs. Michigan Game Thread

Just pulled into the south lot at the butt crack of dawn because real Dawgs don’t sleep in on game day, lol. Got my purple-and-gold RV parked in the spot where there's usually a guy grilling salmon on a cedar plank and another dude with an actual Husky wearing a UW jersey (because of course). The air already smells like victory and Costco polish sausages, amiright?

I’ve got the folding table decked out with purple Solo cups, a mountain of Rainier beer and enough Tillamook cheese to make Wisconsin jealous. My playlist? Nonstop Sir Mix-a-Lot and the Husky Marching Band fight song on repeat (Hi Mello!). Every time “Bow Down to Washington” hits, I raise my cup and bark like a lunatic. Tradition, baby.

Meanwhile, the Michigan fans should be rolling in soon looking like they just stepped out of an LL Bean catalog, khakis so crisp you could slice a bratwurst with 'em. They’ll be sipping craft IPAs (hi Haie!) and talking about “the integrity of the game” while polishing their Block M belt buckles. I'm sure some guy will bring a copy of the Great Gatsby to pass the time before kickoff.

I've got my purple beads, foam paws and a full-on Don James throwback jacket. I'll be preaching the gospel of “1991 National Champs” to anyone who'll listen. Meanwhile, Michigan fans'll be quoting Bo Schembechler like it’s scripture and bragging about their “academic prestige.” Cool story, bro. Let’s see how that helps you stop our run game, heh heh heh.

The grill is getting hot, the Dawg Pack will be filling up and the only thing colder than Lake Washington right now is the Wolverines’ chances.

GO DAWGS! BARK LOUD, BARK PROUD! Purple reign forever!
