Proud of the boys regardless, still standing on a random Orlando street corner waiting for my Uber and then we will be live for the post game recap! Couldn’t tag JJ

HUSKIES WIN! IT WASN'T PRETTY BY ANY STRETCH, BUT AS COACH ALWAYS SAYS AS LONG AS YOU FIND A WAY TO HAVE 1 MORE POINT THEN YOUR OPPONENT. WE ARE ON TO TULSA!

It goes without being said, but losing to Kent State (literally the worst team in CFB) in a do or die game is a fireable offense for everybody involved.
From California in the 1980 season opener to Alabama for the 2023 season finale - 44 years, 520 games, countless memories! THANK YOU Bill Baker!!

RB/FB prospect Clint Ratkovich suffered a serious knee injury during his workout at Packers local day. The fear is it is a torn ACL.
Ratkovich was graded as a potential day 3 draft pick or PFA.
Regardless of result proud of our team for this entire season. Defied all odds, won the conference and brought the program back to prominence all in one season. The future is bright in Dekalb.
THEY COUNTED US OUT. WROTE US OFF. PICKED TO FINISH LAST IN THE CONFERENCE. WORST ODDS. WELL GUESS WHAT NONE OF THAT MATTERS AND WERE GOING TO DETROIT BABY 🗣
