    Pick'em Profile: Notre Dame Fighting Irish
    Jul 24 2024

  • Pick'em Profile: Washington Huskies

    Pick'em Profile: Washington Huskies
    Jul 10 2024
    In 2023, Washington came up just shy of winning a national championship. After its loss to Michigan in the Natty, Husky faithful watched as their head coach left for Alabama, their roster quickly depleted, and their athletic department shifted for greener (er, richer) pastures in the Big Ten. Now, with Jedd Fisch taking the place of Kalen DeBoer, nearly an entirely new roster, and many new foes on the 2024 schedule, go no further than finding out what UW's outlook is for the season ahead. In this episode, Thomas Black & Eric Mulhair discuss the Huskies' roster updates, most important games on the schedule, and their ideas for what outcome we'll all see in the season ahead. Join us again Friday, on Patreon, for another Pick'em Preview covering the Utah Utes (the second of 18 Pick'em Previews coming this summer).
