Hopefully something to brighten all the negative Husky fan posts…
(1) The Husky Hero this week was Benny… He’s a seven-year-old boy that’s gone through way too many adult things in his short little life, but he loves the Huskies and he loves my boys and got to spend a couple
University of Washington alum Jean Smart made Emmys history tonight with her fifth consecutive win for “Hacks” becoming the first person to win an Emmy for every season of a series. Her eighth Emmy also ties the record for most ever won by a performer.
Bow down, indeed.💜🏆
Left Wing thugs have already vandalized the Charlie Kirk statue installed at TPUSA headquarters just three days ago.
They murdered Charlie in cold blood. They celebrated his murder. Now they attacked his statue, smearing fake blood all over it.
America cannot coexist with the people like this. They want us dead. They want us to live in fear.
These people are incapable of building anything, all they know is destruction.
Keep these demons out of power.

For 8-year-old Asher, teddy bear Beary has been there for every step of leukemia treatment. Diagnosed in 2025 with seven months of frontline chemotherapy ahead of him at @seattlechildren, Asher is doing it all with incomparable energy and a smile, so this week was time for Beary to see what being a Dawg is all about.
Asher brought his family from Des Moines, Washington, to explore the UW trophy case and test out the Huskies’ recovery equipment. Beary took the day off just to hang with the linebackers in custom HOMS gear, Heart on My Sleeve (HOMS) a project Porter started while he was a punter for UW Football, and Asher broke in new receiver gloves with his favorite player, Luke Dunne – then showed the whole team his victory dance.
The joy and vivacity Asher showed us today are a testament to his strength, and a gift our Dawgs hope to carry with them tomorrow when they suit up against Utah State.
Today, we’re just proud that this kid — and his bear — are part of the family. Keep fighting, Asher. The Dawg Pack is right behind you. 🐾
Look at this picture.
Today, this 10-year-old little boy walked through the doors of a school for the very first time in his life.
Not a new school. Not a new grade. His FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Less than a year ago, I stood outside a tent off Aurora and witnessed this little boy living inside of it. Some of you may remember reading the MyNorthwest story that referred to him as “the little boy in the tent.” He was nine years old, living in and out of homelessness, surrounded by active addiction and circumstances no child should ever have to survive.
That article told a story about a little boy our systems had failed. But we knew his story couldn't end in that tent.
So we kept showing up.
Then, in the middle of the night, a law-enforcement officer called The More We Love. There was finally an opportunity to get this little boy and his mother SAFE.
Thank God for that call. Thank God we were there to answer YES.
That night they walked through our doors, and that is when the real work began.
Jacki, our case manager, dug in with this family and became their constant. Behavioral health, doctors, dentists, haircuts, school enrollment, routines, stability and all the things in between that it takes to wrap around a child who has spent so much of his young life simply surviving. His mother has done the work too, and today she remains in recovery. We are deeply proud of her.
And today, Jacki walked this little boy through the doors of his very first day of school.
For every parent who remembers that first day, imagine that day coming at 10 years old because the years before it were spent surviving.
This is the outcome.
This is why we don't just respond to a crisis, check a box and move on. The outcome has to be breaking the cycle. It has to be giving a child the opportunity for something different.
Less than a year ago, he was “the little boy in the tent.”
Today, he is a 10-year-old little boy who went to school for the first time.
Thank you to the law-enforcement officer who made that call. Thank you to our donors who keep our doors open so we can answer YES in the middle of the night. And thank you, Jacki, for showing what it means to become someone's constant long after the crisis is over. You are changing lives in ways most will never understand.

I used to be a camera operator for Auburn Athletics and worked many college football games for ESPN and SEC network. The Big Ten is lying to you and fabricated evidence for Michigan to have an extra play at the end of the game against Western Michigan. The stadium clock is the standard. Not whatever the replay booth decides it is.
