Old Dog: Not In Texas Right Now, But HOW ‘BOUT THEM HUSKIES?

It’s been a momentous summer for the Old Dog. After 47 years of earning a living and spending the last nine plus years working in the air conditioning and heating industry, I retired.

Old Dog: Top Ten Moments for 2018-19

Once again, it’s time for the Old Dog to pick the Top Ten events for the past season. Last year, it was relatively easy to pick ten moments and keep the list largely on the positive side. This year, that was tougher to do, and some of these moments are things most Husky fans wish...

The Second Annual Old Dog Awards

With the regular season now in the record books, it’s time once again (we can say that this year) for the annual Old Dog Awards.

Old Dog: The Final Countdown

After yet another close-but-no-cigar weekend for the Huskies, it’s time for an age-old question in sports. Have we reached the point where we need to say “Wait ‘til next year?” This year it has been a tale of two seasons.

Old Dog: Shaken, Not Stirred

There were plenty of thought-provoking things that happened last week in college sports in general and for Husky Nation in particular. Here’s a look at several of these fascinating stories.

Old Dog: The Will to Win

It was a bad weekend in Bemidji. In fact, it’s not out of the question to call it a very bad weekend in the frozen expanse of northern Minnesota. Three weeks ago, the Old Dog said the Huskies faced an extremely bumpy road, and, I’m sorry to say, it’s been as unkind as I thought...
