The Dawgs are back

I was up in Seattle watching my UW Huskies take on then #11 Michigan State. It was a great weekend and reminded me of why college football is the best. It was a gorgeous fall weekend in Seattle and MSU fans were great visitors.

I love the pageantry and traditions. I got to see a lot of old friends over the weekend and at the tailgate. There really is no better place to spend a Saturday when the atmosphere is like it was this past weekend.

The Huskies were amazing from the start. They let a bit off the gas towards the end and that made me nervous but it was a complete domination from end to end.

Considering we were 4-8 last year, I couldn’t be happier with a 3-0 start and a perfect start to the Kalen DeBoer era. It’s been special to watch. We’ve got a shot to compete for the Pac-12 title which is really all you can ask for after last season’s debacle.

It’s amazing how much leadership and coaching matters in both sports and work. We have largely the same players as last year and we look like a completely different team.

It all starts with the culture that Coach DeBoer has instilled in that locker room. You can just sense that things are night and day from last year. Everyone is bought in. When you got a culture like that, special things will happen.
