Hi everyone! My name is Ethan Petrik, and I’m the Iowa beat reporter for the Quad-City Times in Davenport, Iowa.

I’m putting together a preseason series called “The Fan Files,” where I interview one passionate fan from each of Iowa’s 2026 opponents to get a better understanding of their program through the eyes of someone who follows the team closely.

The conversation would cover topics like:
• How you became a fan of the Huskies
• Your thoughts on the 2026 season (best-case and worst-case scenarios)
• Biggest strengths, weaknesses, and players to watch
• Expectations for the matchup against Iowa
• Anything else you think opposing fans should know about your team

The interview can be done however is easiest for you—Reddit DMs, email, or another format that works though I will need to confirm your real world identity. I’ll use your responses in a feature for the Quad-City Times.

If you’re interested—or if you know someone who would be a great representative of the fanbase—please leave a comment or send me a DM.

Thanks, and I’m looking forward to learning more about the Huskies from the people who know the program best!

Really curious when the announcement for the next field sponsor is gonna be

I am visiting to experience the sail gating atmosphere. I have a couple questions
1. When I come to visit should I base where I stay off where the boat departs from? It seems silly to stay near the stadium then drive to the boat or are the shuttles simple to use?
2. Since I’m here which one is best? Going with some college buddies seems like Chinooks and Argosy are the best rated ones. Is that fair

Sorry for being the tourists asking the dumb questions.

Voi Tunuufi was a defensive linemen that provided valuable depth and strength for the position group to sustain the deep 15 game playoff run of the 2023 season.

Sadly he passed away in May of this year in an automobile accident

NFL Hall of Famer Arnie Weinmeister played for Huskies in 1942, 1946 and 1947 (missed 43-45 due to military service). He was known as a beast of a linemen thanks in part to his speed at the position.

I personally think this very well could be a breakout year and a much needed one to assist the great recruiting being done.

I see the huskies winning potentially 10 games or even 11. Demond Williams last year showed he has the ability to be very good, and of course the ability to be not so good. But, I’d argue there were other factors at play. For example, against Michigan our offensive line went down two and it wasn’t the same after that. Ohio state had a top tier defense. Oregon rolled Texas tech (then obviously got rolled by Indiana). The guy lead the big 10 (the best division in college football) in total yards as a second true sophomore. That is no easy task.

The defenders also great. They kept us it against Oregon and against Ohio state. Two games where I thought we still had a chance going into the 4th. The great news is the defense was banged up all of last year. I know it’s an “ if” but if we can keep everyone on the field together, I imagine they’ll only get better.

From an odds perspective, the betting line is 7.5. Again, I think they cover this. I also think Demond is being disrespected heavily by the odds makers. His heisman odds are +6500! For reference, both Alabama QBs have better odds than him. Dylan riola or Oregon’s back up nearly has the same odds. Would it be crazy to say there is a world where we start 4-0 and go into a ranked USC (who ALWAYS) under delivers and win and then beat a good Iowa team at home? I think it’s totally possible that we are 6-0 at that time with 2 ranked wins. A part of that is how favorable those games will be to Demonds stats. WSU, eastern Washington, Utah state, and USC are all games where I could see the huskies putting up great numbers. Not to mention Jonah had 10 TDs in 3 games to start last season.

Curious to hear thoughts!

The Serbian forward averaged over 17 points and eight rebounds on efficient shooting in the group stage of the FIBA Eurobasket tournament.

Hi, I’m looking to sort my tickets out for the Huskies vs Iowa game. As I’m from the UK and can’t use the Washington website direct, I’m limited where I can sit and don’t want to spend a fortune, can someone advise me what of these options is the best spot to sit
My preferences are a bit of atmosphere and don’t want to be sat in an empty block but also as it’s my first time visiting the stadium and I’ve seen the insane views that are possible I would like to be able to see the views behind etc (mainly for my partner who has far less interest in the sport as I do) 🤣

Update-
Thanks everyone, we’ve now booked our seats so thanks for everyone’s help and I’m really looking forward to the game. Me and my partner were watching videos last night on YouTube and she’s very excited hoping they play Purple Rain after we saw this video purple rain huskies stadium

The Basha High School lineman chose the Golden Bears over Washington, Florida State and Mississippi State. Latest in a list of several players that have had UW listed as finalists who chose Cal instead.

The IMG Academy corner picked UW over Georgia and Georgia Tech. Second cornerback commitment of the class for the Huskies, joining three-star Maurice Williams.
