The FAA ordered a ground stop nationwide just a couple of hours ago, for the first time since 2023. The Huskies haven’t left Seattle yet, and are one of the P4 teams in limbo, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Mark Schlabach. Depending on the length of the outage, we may see this game rescheduled or canceled. It would be the first cancellation of a game since the 2020 USC game. Now, we’re going to assume this game happens and give you all the Dots you’ve come to expect.The Huskies have been no-showing the 1st half of their games recently but this seems extreme even for them. https://t.co/yXGqlJ1Lzd— UW Dawg Pound (@UWonSBN) November 13, 2026Football DotsJeff has a preview of the Spartans’ offense.I have the opponent Q&A…and I have the opponent defense preview, filling in for Coach B.Andy Yamashita has a story about how the ground stop is affecting not only football, but other UW sports as well.Of course, the big story yesterday was that Husky Stadium sold its naming rights to Columbia Bank for 10 years, 70 million dollars. Yamashita has more here. I will say this: I understand that this is necessary in this new, revenue driven age, but I don’t like it.Basketball DotsThe Husky women’s team demolished Cal State Bakersfield yesterday, by a score of 85-51. UW has a recap here.That’s all for today, so thank you for making Dots a part of your afternoon, and as always, Go Dawgs!
