What "Top 3" things do you need to see before the end of Spring/Fall camp to convince you that UW can compete with the B1G Boys and be "in the hunt" for a playoff berth in Oct/Nov? or 2026-27?
Oh another one, this is one I am always updating as if I was AD. It is said AD’s always have a list of 3-5 candidates for every sport if their coach left. If Fisch left who do you think would be those 3-5 candidates for Chun?
There has been a recent flurry of staff hires, which has been hard to keep up with. Taking Walters out of it, pick a new hire that fits these categories....
You always take a loss harder than a win, would you agree? Thus, other than the Oregon game, what one loss would you believe UW fans would take most hardly versus the wins?
Any idea how fundraising is going with the Go B1G campaign? Any updates on season ticket numbers? It seems likely that the revenue estimates from the B1G will come in higher than anticipated, when could we expect to learn more about distributions for this fiscal season?
Can you recall a past recruit like Coleman-Brusa that was high ranking, leaning or committed to another high end school, and flipped to UW by the end of the cycle? (Not named Buddha Baker)
2025 4⭐️ WR Marcus Harris from Mater Dei who signed with the Dawgs after being committed to Oklahoma. He started classes in January of this year and is available for spring practice
Somewhat random question, but do you know if there was any NCAA rule modification to the Dillon Johnson Sugar Bowl injury timeout situation that almost cost UW the game? I don't remember reading about any resolution, but the consensus immediately after was that the offense shouldn't be punished due to an injury when trying to run out the clock.
I'm curious about your thoughts on the best path for Washington's men's basketball program to be successful long-term in the BIG10. Specifically, given the Washington's inconsistent men's basketball history, do you see the UW as a basketball program that ultimately achieves its greatest success by developing a core of players over a 3-4 year period, or do you see the UW as a program that ultimately has to reload with 8-10 new players each year to compete in the BIG10?
I'm pretty sure college football coaches used to teach classes, like high school coaches. When and why did this stop? Sure seems like they're paid enough to take on a couple classes, plus then they could pass the players with poor study habits. My question is: which course would Sark teach?
This might be premature and maybe you'd like to wait until after Spring Practice but who do you see as the top breakout players for 2025? If Quentin Moore as a big-time contributor next year. But I realize it will need to be a number of Dawgs to step up next year.
Given the tough schedule again for ‘25, and combined with the development timeline of existing players combined with the improved recruiting classes, it looks like 2026 will be the best season of the coach Fisch era. Then where do you think he lands? With Florida stabilizing, my guess is the NFL, again after a very strong 2026 season. Thoughts from you Christian?
Who do you see as being the players to portal out this spring or what positions do you see as having players leave.

Grubb, Dillingham, Stein
And who would YOUR 3-5 be

Most impactful on field:
Most impactful on recruiting trail:
Under the radar, sneaky impact:
Thanks Christian

I can answer this, but take it with a grain of salt as I can’t cite the specific game, but I recall a game in which the same situation occurred
and.....
No change from previous year - sorry, I should have explicitly included that

If you were to write one column (article? post? Stack?) a month about anything other than UW or athletics in general, what would be the topic?
Taylor Sheridan show recaps? Costco food court menu reviews?

So you think he is only here for 3 years.
I ride STP each summer which takes us through the great city of Longview. Should I go out of my way to see the famous squirrel bridge?
For Men's basketball team...any idea of portal defections or portal acquisitions? Any insights as to NIL funding by sport, men's and women's programs?
Was last year’s Armon Parker knee injury the same ACL that kept him out in 2022? Any word on his return timetable?
