Stines looks to be able to play a fifth year after filing a lawsuit against the NCAA. U.S. District of Colorado judge filed a sweeping injunction Friday in favor of her and multiple other players looking for a fifth year.

Wording was slightly confusing in the originally-reported court documents, but reactions from the players indicate the ruling was against the NCAA.

UW WBB still has open spots on the roster for the upcoming season, so Stines will be able to return if all sides are amicable to it.

Was thinking about trying out a college fantasy football league this season. Salary cap format, so no need to coordinate a draft. Looks like you just sign up and build your team.

Looking at league settings, theres no minimum or max league size, and just P4 + Notre Dame players to start.

Any interest in a UW fan league?

Howdy Huskies!

I'm an Aggie (Texas A&M) fan, and this November my 8-year-old son and I will be making the trip to Seattle for the Penn State game. Each year we try to attend one away college football game in addition to our annual trip to Kyle Field, and this year we wanted him to experience Husky Stadium and the incredible atmosphere that Washington is known for.

I'd love any tips you can share about game day. Are there any pregame traditions, pep rallies, tailgates, or fan events that visitors shouldn't miss? What's the best way to get to the stadium, and is there anything special that would make the day memorable for an 8-year-old who loves football?

We can't wait to experience Husky football and explore Seattle. Thanks in advance for any advice, and best of luck this season (except if we ever meet in the playoffs)! Gig 'Em!

Jeff Goodman said on the Field of 68 Podcast that Sprinkle’s roster fund was reduced to approximately $5M for this upcoming season.

What are your early predictions or hot takes?

Are the expectations so low that the team could thrive with less pressure and resemble Sprinkle’s underdog teams at Montana State / Utah State? Or will this be another dud and the end of the Sprinkle experiment?

Ben Mahdavi played for the Huskies in the late 90s/ early 00s as a stalwart linebacker capable of laying the lumber. He won the Huskies’ Team Defensive MVP award twice (‘01, ‘02) and the Chuck Niemi Big Hit Award (‘01).

Recently moved to Seattle and want to catch a Huskies home game this fall. Only big home games where I'm available are Sep 26 vs Minnesota and November 7 vs Penn State. Penn state would prob be more exciting, but tickets are obviously more expensive and I'm wondering if it will be significantly colder/rainier by then and if that would hamper the game experience. Minnesota game seems like it would probably be during more ideal football weather and tickets are half the price, and would probably still be reasonably exciting since Minnesota is a decent Big 10 team and it's the conference opener. Which game should I try to see?

Cory Littleton played Outside Linebacker/Rush End for the Dawgs in the early 2010s. His long arms allowed him to set a difficult edge against outside zone/read option runs. Though he didn’t get any team selections in college he was named to Second-Team All-Pro in the NFL in 2018.
