Wednesday Dots: Dawgs Downward

Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might

I don’t trust to nothing, but I know Dots come out right

• Some news items have a tendency to render all other news obsolete, so let’s start with today’s unfortunate bombshell.

• For more coverage of the shutdown, check out Max’s take and some more information here. The Seattle Times also has its own coverage of the Paws Pause.

• If the cancellation of UW’s two biggest rivalry games this year doesn’t have you depressed enough, let’s talk recruiting. Local five-star receiver and top UW target Emeka Egbuka announced that he will commit on Friday. The conventional wisdom was that the longer Egbuka waited to commit after last weekend’s trip to Oklahoma, the better sign it would be for the Huskies. Dawgman has his glowing comments on the trip to beautiful, cosmopolitan Norman.

• Not all is lost! Husky Softball plans to start its season in February. The Dawgs have been one of the top programs in the country in recent years and have the roster to make another run to the World Series this year.

• The men’s basketball team has a chance to bounce back from its poor start against Seattle U tonight. The game is slated for 8 PM on Pac-12 Network.
