The Woof Watch became real Tuesday around 11:30 am, when Chris Petersen posted the one-word tweet that gets Husky Nation moving and grooving. And then fans got a little more excited when Washington Defensive Coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski retweeted Petersen's 'Woof!' with 'Dawgs just got better. #PurpleReign'.

And they got their answer just a little while later when Texas middle linebacker Cooper McDonald verbally committed to the Huskies over offers and heavy interest from Utah, Baylor, Colorado, and others. McDonald becomes the second Texan to call Seattle their future home, following Waco's Jayveon Sunday.

We'll have more on this breaking news shortly.
