While observing the Alabama Crimson Tide football team score merely three points and rush for only 23 yards on 17 attempts, it became apparent that Ryan Grubb, the offensive coordinator, is vastly overrated.

Many Washington Huskies fans remain in denial about Grubb's play-calling abilities. Two years ago, Grubb expressed interest in the Huskies' head coaching position, but the school wisely chose Jedd Fisch instead. I have never understood why some fans continue to advocate for Grubb as head coach.

It is relatively easy to call plays when you have the nation's best quarterback, wide receiver room, and offensive line. Additionally, Grubb was not a skilled recruiter, and hiring him would have been akin to promoting Keith Gilbertson to head coach in 2003, which would have been detrimental to the program. I believe our fans do not fully appreciate how fortunate we are to have Fisch as our coach.

Grubb's subsequent tenure with the Seattle Seahawks further highlighted his limitations, as the offense performed worse under his guidance than under Shane Waldron. On my former Seattle Sports Blog, I expressed my opinion that Grubb was in over his head, but many Huskies fans within the Seahawks fan base refused to acknowledge this.

Those same individuals now seem hesitant to give Klint Kubiak credit, as it would require them to admit their mistake regarding Grubb. Notably, the Seahawks were one of only five teams that ran the ball less than 40% of the time last year. In contrast, they now run the ball more frequently than any other team in the NFL.

It was fitting that the week the Seahawks will play in Santa Clara for the top seed in the NFL, boasting the highest-scoring offense in franchise history, Grubb's limitations were exposed on the big stage.

Hopefully, this will finally open the eyes of Grubb's supporters to the fact that the offense's success in 2023 was largely due to the talented personnel.

The Seahawks' offenses in 2023 and 2025 were significantly more impressive than Grubb's offense in 2024.

Fortunately, the Huskies did not make the mistake of hiring Grubb as head coach, and Mike Macdonald made the correct decision to part ways with him.

Hopefully, Grubb's supporters will cease clamoring for him, and it would not be surprising if he is unemployed a year from now.

Sixty-five years ago today, January 2nd, 1961, the Washington Huskies executed a stunning upset, defeating the undefeated and top-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers 17-7 in the Rose Bowl.

As the defending Rose Bowl Champions, the 1960 Washington Huskies were unexpectedly a touchdown underdog. This victory marked head coach Jim Owens' second consecutive Rose Bowl win, while quarterback Bob Schloredt, who returned from injury, became the first player to win back-to-back Rose Bowl game MVPs.

The Huskies dominated the first half, leading 17-0, and their defense stifled Gophers quarterback Sandy Stephens, limiting him to 2 for 10 passing for 21 yards with 3 interceptions. Although Schloredt's passing numbers were modest, going 2 for 4 for 16 yards, he led both teams in rushing with 68 yards on 5 attempts, including a touchdown.

The aftermath of this game was significant, as the Gophers claimed a National Championship despite their loss, having voted prior to the bowls.

Conversely, the Helms Foundation awarded the Huskies the National Championship. It wasn't until 2007, following extensive grassroots efforts, that the school officially recognized the 1960 Washington Huskies as National Champions.

This marked the Huskies' second consecutive Rose Bowl championship, with the latter being a National Championship. History repeated itself in 1990 and 1991.

Notably, this remains the Huskies' sole victory against a top-ranked opponent.

The Washington Huskies women’s basketball team secured a notable upset against the 6th-ranked Michigan Wolverines, emerging victorious with a 64-52 score.

Excellent performance by the Huskies women! Avery Howell led the charge with 22 points and 16 rebounds, spearheading the upset.

Former Washington Huskies head coach Kalen DeBoer has just experienced the worst bowl loss in Alabama Crimson Tide history.

Consequently, DeBoer's job security may be tenuous next year. Austin Mack's performance was reminiscent of a Mountain West quarterback.

DeBoer's bowl game record against the B1G now stands at 0-3.

DeBoer's coaching style bears some resemblance to Rick Neuheisel's, in that he tends to excel with an elite quarterback but his teams lack toughness, particularly in running and defending against the run.

Two years ago today, we secured a thrilling victory in the College Football playoff semifinals against the Texas Longhorns.

The Washington Huskies claimed the Sugar Bowl trophy, and this page was filled with excitement!

This successful run brought many of you to this page.

That moment will forever hold a special place in Huskies history.

Washington Huskies offensive lineman P**i Finau has entered the transfer portal.

He played considerable snaps this season but was expected to face stiff competition for opportunities following Geirean Hatchett's announcement to return for a seventh season.

On this day 34 years ago, the Washington Huskies won the National Championship, defeating the Michigan Wolverines 34-14 in the Rose Bowl! That’s how an undefeated team should perform in a Rose Bowl!

The 1926 Rose Bowl remains one of the most pivotal games in college football history. On this day 100 years ago, the Washington Huskies, under the guidance of Coach Enoch Bagshaw and led by the talented George Wilson, entered the game with an impressive 10-0-1 record.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, coached by Wallace Wade and led by Johnny Mack Brown, boasted a 9-0 record.

The Huskies, fueled by a 20-yard touchdown pass from Wilson, secured a 12-0 lead at halftime. However, two costly point-after-touchdown misses proved detrimental to their chances.

In the third quarter, Wilson, the Huskies' star player and likely Heisman winner had the award existed, was knocked out of the game and rushed to a nearby hospital on a stretcher.

In his absence, the Huskies' offense stagnated, managing only 17 yards. Alabama seized the opportunity, outscoring the Huskies 20-0 in the third quarter behind two long touchdown receptions by Brown.

Wilson returned for the Huskies, throwing another touchdown, but the comeback fell short as the Crimson Tide defeated the Huskies 20-19 to win their first-ever national title. The Huskies finished ranked 7th in the nation.

This victory, occurring only 60 years after the Civil War, marked a significant moment for the South, as many believe it legitimized Southern football.

Alabama coach Wade won three national titles for Alabama and was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1990. Johnny Mack Brown won Rose Bowl MVP and went on to act in several Western movies.

As for the Huskies, Wilson ran for over 100 yards and threw for two touchdown passes. Wilson was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951, the University of Washington Hall of Fame in 1980, and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1991.

The Washington Huskies secured a victory in the Orange Bowl 41 years ago today. The 1984 Huskies achieved an impressive upset over the 2nd ranked Oklahoma Sooners with a score of 28-17.

In my opinion, this team was unjustly denied a National Championship.

During the offseason, with assistance from contributors, I aim to rectify this situation.

I am advocating for our institution to officially recognize this historic team as rightful National Champions.

On New Year’s Day in 1960, the eighth-ranked Washington Huskies, led by Coach Jim Owens, decisively defeated the sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers 44-8 in the Rose Bowl, securing their first-ever Rose Bowl championship.

The 1959 Huskies finished with a 10-1 record and ranked seventh. Bob Schloredt was named Rose Bowl MVP.

The 2025 Seattle Mariners season was the most thrilling the franchise has experienced since the iconic 1995 team that revitalized baseball in Seattle. This year's team secured their first division championship since 2001.

The Mariners made a stunning comeback to win the West by sweeping the Houston Astros in Houston. They also won their first ALDS since 2001, defeating the Detroit Tigers in an elimination game that went to 15 innings. Although the season ultimately fell short of expectations, it was undoubtedly magical.

For those who have followed my journey and page, you are aware of the challenges I faced. I previously managed another page called Seattle SportsBlog, which Facebook unfairly banned due to a misunderstanding. Facebook's decision to allow AI-generated content with outdated, inaccurate, or misleading information while banning my page was disheartening. I was devastated and experienced a severe anxiety attack.

Subsequently, I decided to merge that page with this one. While the transition has been largely successful, I occasionally encounter criticism from individuals who express disappointment that my Mariners posts do not include Washington Huskies content. Yet those same complainers never comment on my Huskies content.

The Mariners' incredible season was made even more special by the knowledge that many of you followed me to this page. In fact, the day after the ban, I witnessed J.P. Crawford hit a walk-off home run off a left-handed pitcher to defeat the Texas Rangers.

I was overcome with emotion and broke down in tears. Later, when I was going through a difficult time in my personal life, the Mariners' game 5 win in the ALCS, thanks to Eugenio Suarez's grand slam, provided a much-needed lift.

On two occasions this year, the Mariners helped me through low moments. Your support on this page has made writing about the Mariners a daily joy. I appreciate your enthusiasm and engagement, which have made this experience truly rewarding.

The Seattle Seahawks concluded the 2025 calendar year with a six-game winning streak. This Saturday, the Seahawks are attempting to secure their first division championship since 2020 and host their first home playoff game with fans since 2016.

The team has provided considerable excitement recently, particularly with their thrilling 38-37 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks franchise, boasting numerous young players, appears poised for significant success in the future.

The team had grown stale from 2017-2024, and was often perceived as unlikable. However, the current team is distinct, lacking the egos of players like Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf, and the toxic Geno Smith. Instead, this Seahawks team is characterized by humility and a strong work ethic. Each player on the roster has faced doubts, but has persevered to contribute to the team's 13 wins.

This season has been the most enjoyable for fans since 2012, which also saw the team emerge onto the national scene unexpectedly. Seasons like these are rare, and fans are encouraged to appreciate the moment. The Seahawks' participation in featured games and national discussions has generated considerable excitement, and the anticipation for this Saturday's game is palpable.

Sharing this experience with fellow fans has been particularly rewarding, and the sense of community that has developed is a testament to the team's impact. This Saturday's game is highly anticipated, and as a fan, this is all one could ask for.

The Seahawks have regained relevance, and their successful season has brought immense joy to fans.
