Home-and-Home is a regular conversation between Christian Caple of On Montlake and Tyson Alger of The I-5 Corridor. With more than two decades of combined experience covering football in the Northwest, join On Montlake and The I-5 Corridor for their unique views on the Ducks and Huskies.

ALGER: Caple, here’s something for you: Remember how much I hated doing State of the Programs back at our last place? It’s not that I didn’t think they were useful — those suckers were comprehensive and I think did a pretty good job of honoring that feeling of picking up the Athlon season preview back in the day. But man, were they a lot of work right as the weather started to get nice. 

Well, here’s how I know I’m getting old and beginning to think with the business side of the brain: I’m bringing it back this year. It’ll be the State of the Progrum, for obvious — and perhaps copyright — purposes, and while I’m not going to give too many things away right now, the overall forecast for the Ducks after this spring is looking about as good as the weather hitting the PNW this coming week. 

If you were doing a Huskies SOTP, what’s the main bar? Is it Fisch? Is it a quarterback? What’s the pulse of the program (oooh) up there in Seattle as we move into the summer season?

CAPLE: I’d call it hopeful, with a touch of apprehension. Maybe more than a touch, depending on the day.
