Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots.
- First up, Larry Stone’s thoughtful rebuttal of Larry Scott’s head-shaking exit interview, where Scott laid the blame anywhere that wasn’t named “Larry Scott”. Scott has a track record of such deflection, as he once blamed bad officiating and frequent penalties on Pac-12 offenses running too many plays.
- The proposed College Football Playoff expansion should be a hot topic all summer. Matt Calkins from the Seattle Times is in favor of a twelve-team playoff. And here is some playoff time travel fun from Max Olson of the Athletic.
- Here’s this morning’s update of the football recruiting blog on Dawgman (for subscribers).
- Katie Rainsberger’s 3rd place in the 3000m steeplechase at the NCAA Outdoor Championships was a UW record and 2nd best ever in the Pac-12.
Congratulations to @UWTrack's Haley Herberg for being named Pac-12 cross-crountry athlete of the year! #PurpleFriday #UWMaghttps://t.co/sFEeQNF9YA

- Gotta love the fact that Julius Irvin has played significant time in three seasons and is still only a sophomore.
In our UW roster review, we check in with No. 29, Julius Irvin. He's got NFL bloodlines to live up to. He might be on his way.https://t.co/cxqPWS2DWC

Jack’s analysis:https://t.co/P5GHucBMM3
- Husky WR Mark Pattison scored the go-ahead touchdown in the 1985 Orange Bowl win over Oklahoma. Would that be the height of his physical achievements? Not even.
Mark Pattison had touched the top of the highest peak on six of the seven continents — which left only Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

- Danish soccer star Christian Eriksen was resuscitated on-field, after suffering cardiac arrest at Denmark’s first match of Euro 2020 on Saturday. And while these rare events serve to put sports and life into perspective, it may be little-known that the modern approach to CPR began here in Seattle several decades ago, with pioneering UW physician Leonard Cobb.
