11-6 H3: The Ocho, Drew Lock Opportunity & B-10 College Football · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for the Ocho. The best 12 minutes of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: 8 minutes of radio. Brought to you by the rich,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Letter Buck.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Please drink responsibly. I should clarify on our holidays, because
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you did have to improvise a little bit. When we
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: got to New Year's, it was a Tuesday, so not
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: everybody could stay up late. Or was it Wednesday? Wednesday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: No, it was Tuesday.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: So not everybody could stay up late on a Tuesday
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: because they had to work.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So basically I waited until the first person had to leave.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And so our countdown was at 826. We didn't stay
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: up until midnight. We did a countdown at 826 p.m.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That's your new year. I guess. On Tuesday, November 3rd.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, perfect.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And there wasn't anyone to kiss because, yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: obviously I'm there with just family members.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I bet your next door neighbor is like, what? Are
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: they counting down?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they heard. If they did hear,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they certainly thought we were strange.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But, yes, that's the first time I've ever counted down
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: New Year's on November 3rd at 826 p.m. All right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: let's get to your eight top stories of the day.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It is the Ocho right here at Sports Radio 93.3
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: KJR FM on a Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Football Fridays with the Washington State Beef Commission brought to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you by Washington's Beef Farmers and Ranchers.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Beef, it's what's for dinner.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And we will start with football as the Seahawks, midway
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: through the season, a 4-4 record, are turning to Drew
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Locke as their starting quarterback, coming off a loss, one
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: where they were clearly outplayed for a change, in my opinion,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and they lost their starting quarterback in Sam Darnold. Some
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: people want this change to be made anyway, but certainly
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this was Darnold is out, Is Drew Locke healthy enough
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to go was the question then that confronted Mike McDonald
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and the Hawks. And Drew Locke told us yesterday in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: front of the Seattle media horde that, yeah, he's ready
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to let it rip.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Excited to be back out there. It felt great to
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: get under center and rip some balls yesterday, so it
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: feels good.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: What's the rest of this week going to look like
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in terms of how much you're able to throw?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going at it like a normal week. If
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the training staff want to pull it back a little bit,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: then let them make that decision. But I'm expecting to
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: go take every rep.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now, I will say this. It doesn't sound like he
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is taking every rep. According to Greg Bell earlier, he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: said that Jalen Milrow has been taking a few reps.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: They've got to get him ready, I'm sure, to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a backup if needed. Greg went as far as saying
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that we might see Jalen Milrow play a role coming
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: up on Sunday against the Cardinals.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious as to if this is sort of...
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: If Drew Locke plays, how healthy he is in terms
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of if he's going to have to battle through something
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and not be 100%, or if this is really a, hey,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: we actually might have to start Jalen Milrow, period, on Sunday.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But either way, I think, as Greg mentioned earlier, this...
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: we should be able to win no matter who starts
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: a quarterback because of who you're playing against.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke bailed them out of a sticky situation once before.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Can he do it again? I don't know if it's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: quite fair if he ends up winning a game against
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals that he's got two wins over the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Cardinals under his belt and a Patriots team that was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: not playing well in the first game of.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: The year for the first few games of the year.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's necessarily a fair comparison
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to use against Sam, but maybe Sam is going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: be out for a week, two, three weeks, and maybe
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that will provide an opportunity for Drew Locke to face
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a quality opponent. see what he can do against a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: quality opponent, and then we may have something at that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: point to compare it to.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is definitely fair, and no matter
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: if it's deserved or not, there's going to be a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: conversation if he has success, so we'll see what happens.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He's already beaten the Cardinals once, 31-7 back in week
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: number two. Will he do it again? We shall find out.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell was with us at 7 o'clock, as I mentioned,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and he always on a football Friday gives us his
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: key to the game and the key to defeating the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Cardinals on Sunday.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Arizona's offense, besides McBride, the tight end, they didn't have
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: anything against the Seahawks in Week 2. Now Jeremiah Love
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: is on injured reserve. It's going to be the entire
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: running game, and the Seahawks have usually bottled up entire
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: one-back shows today. against the run. Don't turn the ball
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: over and they'll win. They'll win by a comfortably couple scores.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: The defense is better than they played against the Bears, obviously.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: And it's back to the same old recipe of not
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: giving other teams short fields to score. And I don't
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: see Gardner Minshew marching up and down the field Sunday
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: against these defense.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I don't see it either, but he is the type
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of player that he's got enough experience and moxie and guile.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: He can certainly Mariota you. You can get that out
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of him on any given Sunday, and I think that's the,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it a fear, but it's not like.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He's not capable of that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I agree with Greg, not having Jeremiah Love, good luck
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: running the football with that plodding horse, Tyler Algier. I mean,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: he's not going to have any success against this defense.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And so they're limited in what they can do, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's not like they're coming in here 0-7. They've beaten
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the Rams and the Cowboys in, what, two of the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: last three weeks. So this is a team with three
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wins on the year. They're certainly a lot better than
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we thought they were going to be.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of a giant killer aspect to them.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And I'm scared of Trey McBride. He's always had success
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: against the Seahawks, and tight ends in general have had
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of success against this Mike McDonald defense. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: going to be the one area where they're going to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: have an advantage, but that's what they're going to go to.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: That does raise some eyebrows for me going into this
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: game on the defensive side.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, far from the only Seahawk on the injury report,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it is thick. Quentin Nelson suffered a knee injury during
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: his first game as a Seahawk. Leonard Williams has a stinger.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Charles Cross still dealing with a bum ankle.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The report very lengthy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That said, Greg again clarified that That always looks that way.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The first injury report when you play on Monday night,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you pretty much throw everybody on the injury report and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you don't let guys practice because they're still recovering. So
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the injury report that comes out today will give us
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a lot better clarification in terms of who's available and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: who's not. But we do know Sam's not available and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it sounds like Nwosu is not going to be available.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: We're going to get a lot more information later on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in the day. Cardinals at Seahawks Sunday at 125.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Better win this one, though.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Don't want to be 4-5.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: 4-4 feels bad enough. Can't be four and five and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: have lost to the Cardinals and the Bears in back-to-back
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: games at home. Can't do that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: No, and the schedule does lend itself to some positivity,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: things to look forward to, but you've got to take
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: advantage of these two games coming up.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Well, week nine of the National Football League season got
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: started last night, and boy are the Ravens in desperate
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: need of a quarterback. Jacoby Brissett will take over soon
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore, but he didn't arrive soon enough. Jacksonville held
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Baltimore to 55 total passing yards and cruised to a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: 33-10 win. Here comes Hamilton. Take care of him. On
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the move, making the grab is Parker Washington. He'll take
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it all the way for a touchdown.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Not a great call-out.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: He had no interest in that game last night.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Zero. All right, thanks to Prime. video uh al michael's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: on the call there uh the six and two jaguars
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: become the fifth team this century to win four of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: their first eight games of a season by 23 or
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: more points they're a blowout factory yeah is what the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: jacksonville jaguars are i think they're a legitimate team kid
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: disagrees kid doesn't like the jaguars i've kind of liked
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: them all year long they are the number one run
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: defense in the national football league i'm not saying lawrence
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: has gone to the josh allen Matt Stafford, Patrick Mahomes level,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but I think he's on the second tier the way
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that he's playing right now. I kind of like this
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: team going forward.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they beat the Patriots. They lost the Broncos. They
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: beat the Bengals. They lost the Texans. So, I mean,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: there are some give and take sort of things. They
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: beat the bad teams, though, and that's what good teams do.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Blow out the bad teams.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not just beat.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: They blow out the bad teams. And their schedule is
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: actually pretty favorable moving forward. I guess it's nice playing
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the AFC South.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Huh, weird.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: You're just going to laugh at the Jags?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to kids. Just a little bit. Are they
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: still just a joke to you? Yeah, I just, you know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: They're beating the bad teams. Good for them. But as
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, Anderson, who are the teams that they lost to? Broncos.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Good team.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And Texans.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Not a good team, but you know.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: But they beat the Patriots. But that was when the
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Patriots were bad. That was when Drake May decided to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: look like me and you playing quarterback.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I think they're good. I don't know if I go
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: full-on contender status with them just yet.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, NFL week number nine is NFL WEAK 9.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It is a weak lineup. It starts at 630 with
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati versus Atlanta from Spain. I'm not even joking. I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: think the best game in the morning session, Giants at Philly.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Really? In terms of what's at stake, yes. I agree
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: with you on that. I still don't hate the Falcons.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Bengals game at 630.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: No, I like that a lot. That's a good one.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: But if that's.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Your best game of the week, you're in trouble. Then
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the afternoon game, obviously Seahawks will be taking on the Cardinals,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: but that's not the best game in the afternoon session.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: That's the Packers and the New England Patriots. So there's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: not a lot. And then Sunday night football, Chicago hosts
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. So this is one of the weaker lineups
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we've seen. Actually, the big story this week in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: National Football League is going to be that the NFL
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: trading deadline is coming up in four days. These will
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: be the last games these teams play before they have
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to make decisions on if they're going to be a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: buyer or a seller or if they've already made that decision,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: how aggressive of a buyer do we want to be
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: or how aggressive of a seller are we going to be?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, as an example, and I don't expect this
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: will happen, Seahawks lose to the Cardinals in our four
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and five, and I don't think we're going to see
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: another trade out of John Schneider.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I think that he'd probably back off of that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. whereas the Indianapolis Colts, they're so far
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: down the road, I can't even imagine that we emerge
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: out of the NFL trading guideline with Jonathan Taylor still
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: being a Colt. I don't even think Daniel Jones is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: going to be an Indianapolis Colt.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to have an entire fire sale, but
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: supposedly they're going to wait until after this game to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: kind of see where the chips fall.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Well, we shall see.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL trading deadline is coming up and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it's probably going to be pretty active one way or
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the other. Now, college football, on the other hand, week
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: number 10. Oh, it's a doozy as the nation's going
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to be treated to seven top 25 matchups tomorrow. Maybe
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the best slate of college football games we're going to see.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: All year long. And that includes the playoffs.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel was on with Anders and Hugh on Tuesday
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: talking about one of the great games, and that's the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: 9 a.m. start between BYU and Utah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: The taco time pick of the week. We are going
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: to take Utah over BYU in the Holy War.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Number three versus number seven. They have a student section
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: there called the Mighty Utah Student Section, the must. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: the must will create a fuck, I promise you. It
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: will be wild at Rice Eccles. It's at 10 a.m.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: in the morning in Utah, but the Mormons don't drink anyway.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: They'll be ready.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: God, I love that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Rick, for that. That's great stuff. I was
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: just in Salt Lake City. Two layovers in the last
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: five days. That is one impeccable airport you've got there
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. And I swear that, I don't
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: know what you Mormon fellas did, but you are all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: really average looking and all of your wives are like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: supermodel hot. Yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: What did you pull off, Mormon fellas?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: How do you do it? How do you do it?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It was like Reese Witherspoon factory blew up in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: middle of the.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Airport, but a Reese Witherspoon with plastic surgery to make
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: her more rounded in parts. Even more so.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: If you're getting my gist.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: All right, BYU versus Utah at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Then
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you got Texas, number seven. They're going to play without
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: their star running back. He's injured and out for the season.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: They'll be at number 18, Mizzou. You've got number five, Alabama,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: at number 14, LSU. Going into the year, we might
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: have circled that as one of the best five games
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of the entire season, but obviously those two teams have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: run into a couple of losses each. Oregon has three losses,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and they'll be playing at number 12, Ohio State. At
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, this might have been one
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of the top three matchups. On paper, I think that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was one versus two preseason. And instead, Oregon with three losses,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Ohio State with two losses. This might be like Oregon
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: can't lose another one. Ohio State might not be able
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to afford to.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Lose another one.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So this could be like a playoff game in itself
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in Ohio State. Kentucky at Tennessee, that's six versus 13.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The best game of the weekend, Miami at Notre Dame.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: That's one versus 11, 430 start there. And Georgia at
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss as well, number two versus number 10, Ole Miss.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: That is a lineup.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: So many good games. I don't even know which one
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I like the most out.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Of all of them.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: It's got to be Miami-Notre Dame.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I still love the Holy War. It might be my favorite.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: College football rivalry. That doesn't involve a team that I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: root for. It involves a team I root against, but
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: that's almost what makes college football fun. But yeah, I
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: think Notre Dame-Miami, that could be a matchup of what
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of people believe to be the two best
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: teams in the nation.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people believe DeMond Williams Jr.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is going to get the start here. Not everybody, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people believe he's going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: get the start, that he's wrestled back that job. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: so we shall see. It's going to remain unanswered, I'm sure,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: until game time or close to game time tomorrow. Kickoff
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: at 1230 right here at Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Part of a very busy day for us on Saturday
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with all three of the teams that we are a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: flagship station of in action on that day. The Honks
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: will get things started at 830 in the morning leading
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: up to kickoff. Now let's move on to a story
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that happened earlier in this week. I knew I was
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: going to miss it. I was sad that I missed
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it when it happened in real time. But certainly there's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a lot more conversation to have about the Mariners' brand
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: new manager, Jason Kanzler, who spoke yesterday, or was it
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: two days ago, about his hitting philosophy.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: The hitting philosophy is an offensive philosophy. We're going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: play offense, and the philosophy is score runs. And that
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: comes in a variety of different formats. We have to
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: do that. with whatever tools we have available, with whatever
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: player personnel we have available, and whatever matches their strengths.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: I am not going to impose some sort of sweeping
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: offensive philosophy. The philosophy is score more runs than the
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: other team, however we can.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: What do you make of that?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I like it. I think a lot of people will
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: meme it to death saying, oh, really?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Score runs? Huh, weird.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: But reading between the lines, my take is he's not
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: going to ask players that we already have to do
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: something that they are not you know built to do
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: or that he's not going to ask what this roster
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: has been built to do to be something that they're
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: not right so it's going to be kind of tailored
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: to each individual player which I am a fan of
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I think that makes a ton of sense instead of
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: just coming in and saying, you know, we're going to
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: play this way and you're going to change your entire
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: game to fit what I think should be the offensive philosophy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Well, how I read into it, and I hope that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they learn some lessons watching the Brewers and the Tampa
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Bay Rays, we do have to come up with some
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: other ways to score runs that doesn't rely on getting
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a walk and then hitting a two-run homer. I mean,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: because that feels like it's the only way that this
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: team scores runs. We've got to figure out ways because
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: sometimes the script just is different. Sometimes the pitcher doesn't
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: give you that meatball that you can drive over the fence.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I want to see a team that doesn't rely on
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: just one way to successfully score runs, so I'm hoping
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that's what he means by that comment. Kraken will be
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in action tomorrow at 2 o'clock against the New York Rangers. Oh, yes,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a team from New York rolling into town, a villain
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: this time of year. Hey, look! Oh, no.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: It's the Central Park Rangers.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Even Santa hates them. It's true.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The 9-5-1 Kraken taking on the 9-7-1 Rangers. 2 p.m.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is the start for that. I wrote it down wrong
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on my sheet here. Of course, this has been a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: week about Shane Wright getting traded out of Kraken land.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: What did you make of Matthew Wood?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's only played one game, but he's already,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: you know, been inserted into a big role into this team.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: There's lots of talk about did the Kraken prioritize developing
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Shane Wright? Did, you know, Did they not? Did he
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: deserve a bigger role? They seem to think that they
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: got the most out of him that they could. Matthew
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Wood comes in, gives you something a little bit different,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: a bigger winger that can shoot the puck a little
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: bit more. I liked what he was able to give
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: in the first game against Calgary. We'll see if he's
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: able to get his foot and get some points on
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the board.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Finally, Sounders will be in action against LAFC. What a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: weird year for the Sounders, who are right back in
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a massive slump. Three losses and two draws in their
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: last five games and coming off a humiliating loss. to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Vancouver in their last match. They'll take on LAFC tomorrow
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: at Lumen Field, 4 p.m. So we've got all three
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of our teams playing on a Saturday here at KJR.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Must be November.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: All at home.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The Huskies at home at 1230. You've got the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Kraken at home at 2, and you've got the Sounders
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: at home at 4 o'clock.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Good luck traveling anywhere if you want to go through Seattle.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not traveling anywhere. I will do nothing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Flopping your behind on that couch.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, Drew Locke. Is he ready
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: for this game on Sunday?
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: More importantly, are we.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Ready for a possible quarterback controversy? We'll discuss it next
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio 93.3 kjrfm now back to the washington

  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen will be with us at 9 o'clock.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: X's and O's.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we've got some quarterbacks to talk about. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: know you and Hugh have spent a lot of time.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Together this week.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Really gotten to know each other. Yeah, absolutely. Figure out
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: what makes each other tick. And I can't wait for
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: more time with him.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: It's what?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: This will be our fourth day?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Monday, Tuesday.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You're going to vacation together this year? Yes.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. Just the two of you?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to go somewhere in a dark room
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: and break down film for five seconds.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: But do it in an exotic location.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: If you're going to do that, go to Aruba or
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Someplace that neither of you have been.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Because you do want to take breaks, and you might
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: as well do it while you're threading your toes through
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a sandy beach.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. See what I'm saying?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I will take that advice from the vacation king over here.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I just got back.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, from southwestern Illinois.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: He's from southwestern Illinois.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, I started the show this way for a reason.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I did not go on vacation.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I took time off to spend with family. Definitely.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: That is not a vacation.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Not the same. Cannot be called a vacation.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I am neither relaxed or refreshed from my time away.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I was checking boxes.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Had a good time doing it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: But, yes, there was no vacation.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Miscaracterization, my bad. Yes. All right, let's talk about some
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: things that have transpired since I've been gone, and that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is that all of a sudden, do we have a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: controversy at quarterback in our midst? Sam Darnold is hurt.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's opened the door for Drew Locke to get a
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: little more playing time, but he's been hurt, too. He
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: says he's ready to go, ready to let it rip
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: tomorrow afternoon. Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. But if Drew
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Locke ends up being successful again, what does that do?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, we already have the debate going on in
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: social media. We've already got people that have chosen sides,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and there are a lot of football fans that have
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of short-term memory. that have kind of been
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: against Sam the moment Drew Locke played the first two games.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: We were already hearing people that I'd rather have Drew
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Locke be the quarterback. I mean, I dared to suggest
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that maybe Drew Locke could be a trade candidate closer
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to the trading deadline, and people lost their ever-living minds
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: over watching Drew Locke play two good games against the Patriots,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: one off the bench, and then against the Arizona Cardinals,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: where he didn't really get cranking until the second half.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of that contest, but people have drawn their sides, have
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: taken sides in this for a while. So what's going
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to happen, Anders, if Drew Locke plays great the next
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, still hasn't proven he's going to, he's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: beaten a great team, and yet with Sam having faced
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the top competition on the schedule and gotten the hell
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: beat out of him at various points in the season,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the turnovers and the ineffectiveness at times. What's it going
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to do to this quarterback debate that people are having
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: You know exactly what it's going to do. It's going
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: to rage on if Drew Locke has success once again
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: against probably the team that has the worst defense. on
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: in your schedule and you play him twice yeah right
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and most points allowed this season yeah so i mean
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: that's that's what the numbers say as well and it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: worth pointing out that it's not like drew lock had
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a ton of success against the patriots either they scored
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: 13 points right right and they had like i think
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: three going into the fourth quarter or something like that
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: so it Yes, you had success against the Cardinals, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: you have been better at keeping the ball out of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: harm's way than Sam Darnold has, right? Those are two
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: things that are.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You can't argue that, right?
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: So.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That definitely will be something, and especially for those who
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: think that you just need to keep the ball out
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: of harm's way for this team to win games. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I think this will be a discussion if he continues
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to have success against the Arizona Cardinals. I don't think
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: it should be, but it definitely will be.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I'm still Sam Darnold. Yes, me too. I mean, he
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: did lead the team to a Super Bowl, and it
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't like he was just along for the ride. He
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: was not managing the game.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: No.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, Sam Darnold likes to let it rip. That's
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: what gets him in trouble sometimes with turnovers. But, you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and Hugh's made this point many times, that you'll take
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the tradeoff to a degree of, yeah, I want the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: aggressive quarterback that's making the big plays downfield. If he's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: making more big plays down the field, you can live
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: with the one or two turnovers. that you might get
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: during that given game so i kind of like that
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback and i think that's who sam darnold is i
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: think that's really who he is but he's shown a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: lot more in his career about guiding a team than
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: what drew lock has had drew lock has had plenty
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: of opportunities to be a starter in the national football
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: league and has not seized any of them maybe this
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: will be the time he certainly has the talent and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: what we saw in the first two weeks of the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: season was good drew lock I don't know if we've
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ever seen great Drew Locke. I mean, the quarterback rating
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: might suggest that that's great quarterback play, but I'm not
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: sure that we've seen that displayed to this point in
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the season. But I'm excited to see him play again,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: but not at the cost of Sam being the number
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: one quarterback on this team. I mean, there might come
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a time. We're certainly going to stir that hornet's nest
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: here over the next couple of weeks, and maybe there
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: will come a time where I'll switch over. I'll at
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: least say there's a candidate. In a lot of places,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: there's not a candidate. There's not a candidacy for that conversation.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I will say that at least there is a scenario
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: where we do.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Make that switch.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Buffalo would never sit Josh Allen if he had a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: couple of bad games or was leading the league in interceptions. Right.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, is trying to play through a bad rib.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: If Josh Allen can go, he's going to go. So
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: there are some markets out there, some franchises that there's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: not room for that conversation. I will at least acknowledge
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that there is a scenario that unfolds over the next
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks where there's room for that conversation. But
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: it's just, I just, I think Sam's just more proven
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: to guide a team and to win big games and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: can beat top opponents. And I don't know if I've
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: ever seen that out of Drew Locke.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will also concede that in maybe one or
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: two of the Seahawks' losses this year, the style of
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: play in which Drew Locke showed gave the Seahawks' success
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: earlier in the year may have given you a better
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: chance to win In a couple of those games, I'm
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: thinking of the Denver game, the Washington game, where you
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: just don't turn the ball over and you're not pushing
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: it down the field. The defense can win you the game.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: But eventually, you're going to have to have the quarterback
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: win you a game. We saw this last year in
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And Sam won it. Exactly.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: And that's why I think you're going to have to
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: live with the good and the bad with him, because
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: he will have a chance to win you a game
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: where you absolutely need it. And I trust him to
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: do that more than Drew Locke.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do as well. And what's really funny is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that here we are at the NFL trading deadline and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I set off some sort of media firestorm a few
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: weeks ago when Sam took over the job from Drew,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: regained his job from Drew because of the injury. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I said, is there a scenario where if we get
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to the NFL trading deadline, some team that's in contention
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: loses its starting quarterback, come a knocking on John's door
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and and may offer more than John would have ever
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: imagined someone was going to offer for Drew Locke in
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a trade this year. Out of desperation, that team does that.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Would we consider it? And of course, you know, we
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: had like two weeks worth of discussion about that here
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: on the station and pretty much everywhere. Well, all of
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: those pieces have fallen into place. Every single one of them.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: There are teams in contention that are without their quarterbacks
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: right now that are knocking on doors looking to see
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: who might be available. I heard conversations about Dak Prescott,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert on my drive-in. There are probably more realistic
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: candidates out there like Daniel Jones, for example, Geno Smith,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: for example, and maybe a couple of others that could
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: get moved to one of these quarterback-strapped teams that believes, hey,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: we've got the pieces. We're designed to win right now.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we can't find a franchise quarterback, but
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: we can at least find an improvement out there on
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the trade market and probably won't have to give up
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot. So all of those
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: scenarios have unfolded. We have plenty of candidates to trade
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: for quarterback right now. The only thing is the Seahawks
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: can't be interested because... They need Drew Locke. Sam's hurt.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: And he wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: so they're going to need Drew Locke right now to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: win them football games. But other than that, I think
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: maybe we would have. Because of all those scenarios that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I painted a few weeks ago, I think maybe we
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: would have been. Had Sam come back healthy and we're
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: sitting here at 6-2 and we don't have any concern
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: at all about Sam Darnold, the quarterback, going into this weekend... Oh,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I think we very, very, very well could have been
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: talking about... monitoring the wire to see if Drew Locke
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: was going to get traded to the Minnesota Vikings or
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to the Baltimore Ravens or someone else. But the fact
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that we need Drew Locke has kind of pushed that out.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: But I think we could have very well ended up
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in Drew Locke trade watch scenario right now.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett just went for a fourth round pick. You
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: don't think John Schneider would want an extra fourth round
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: pick right now? I think they would be willing to
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: give up probably just as much as a Jacoby Brissett.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Someone on the open market. Yeah, probably more. You're right. Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Because he only makes $ 2 million. He fits under any cap.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Or Jacoby Brissett makes $ 25. Right. So I think you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: get more. That was the whole point. If he went
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: for a fourth, I said a day two trade, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: then the reaction was, of course, well, you're never going
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to get a day two draft pick.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett just got one.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, no, that's a three. It's a day three.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: But I think Drew Locke would get more in a
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: trade than what Jacoby Brissett would.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: So here we are.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I think all those pieces fell into place that we
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: could have been on Drew Locke trade watch here through Tuesday,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: but Sam didn't play well enough to give us that opportunity,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and now he's hurt. And so that also is factor.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: That's the bigger factor, right?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: That's the bigger factor in all of this. So, but
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: if you were, the point was, if you would have
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: felt good, if you were Seahawks were six and two
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and Sam was playing the good football and he was healthy, um,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: then maybe you would consider making that move here at
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, but you had to wait till the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. You had to wait to see if this
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: scenario would have popped up. for you to have to
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: contend with, and it has. And it's a good thing
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: they haven't moved him. I didn't think they were going
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to move him, but it's a good thing he's here
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: because he's going to have to fill a really significant role,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: even if it is just filling in for the next
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: And that was the discussion that we, if you guys remember,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: it wasn't, hey, trade him now. It's, hey, would you
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: consider it if you were in that situation, right?
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: And we are not in that situation, so it's okay.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we preview the Big Ten
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: weekend for you. We do it every Friday on KJR.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't even ask you, kid.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: How did you think Anders did?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Be honest.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I think Anders did the last week. I thought Anders
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: did really well.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Did he really well?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Confident.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Drove the ship.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, good.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Had a good time.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Had even some funny good jokes.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: He did?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that's an upset.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: That is an upset.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You like garlic? Do I like garlic?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you like garlic?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Do you like garlic?
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, well then... It's surprising. Theory is... It gets gone, yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: It's been disproven.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: We thought you were a vampire since you left right
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: before Halloween.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: And you're... your shift schedule with the early mornings.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: You kind of sleep during the day, you know.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that tracks.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: So we were like, okay, we got to test that
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: theory when he comes back.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And this mother lover loves garlic, or likes garlic, I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: should say. I do like garlic. I mean, I wish
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I could be a vampire. Seems like it's got some
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: advantages to it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Definitely does.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's some disadvantages, you know, being dead and all.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Being dead, you know, the need for human blood. Do
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you know you're dead, though?
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Existential.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Actually, powerfully so.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Powerfully so.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It's a badge of honor. Well, certainly you would use
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: it in a fight, wouldn't you? I'm already dead. You
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: kick my ass and I will rise back up. By
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the way, I would avoid my fangs and all my strength.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And my ability to turn into a wolf. Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I'll suck your blood. Yeah, exactly.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I don't know. It'd probably be a tricky
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: decision for me at this point in my life.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: As I watch myself age and get weaker with every
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: single day.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Would you want to be a vampire?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: If I got one of those.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, are you ready to make the crossover?
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: It'd be a pickle.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I'd be torn. Do I really want to go?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I always said I'd say no, but it kind of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: sounds fun.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: A lot of positives that I didn't think about.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: And it turns out that women of Western Washington will
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: be really attracted to you from what I understand from
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the books. Yeah, exactly.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. Perfect.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: All right. We got Hugh Millen coming up at nine o'clock.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Big Ten preview. We're not going to do pickups today,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: but I will provide the service of the preview. Nebraska
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: at Illinois is a matchup tonight. So Nebraska coming off
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the loss to the Huskies. try to get it going
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: against Illinois. And Illinois just keeps finding ways to win,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: beat Oregon. They played a bad Maryland team, but figured
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: out a way to win. So that's on Fox tonight.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: That'll kick off at five o'clock. UCLA continues to be
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: maybe the story in college football. I mean, I know
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: that it's not getting talked about as much as Lane
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Kiffin and Um, and Malachi, Tony and others. Right. Uh,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: but for UCLA to have gone from three and nine
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to undefeated at this stage in the season and looks
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: like there are. I just soaring toward the college football playoff.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Great story. They should handle business, uh, tomorrow morning, 9
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: 0 AM start at Minnesota against the golden gophers. Uh,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Maryland's terrible, uh, produce not much better. So that's your
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: stinky game of the weekend. That's at nine 30 tomorrow.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: That's in Indiana. Oregon at Ohio State at the beginning
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of the year, I might have argued this would have
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: been one of the best two or three matchups of
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the entire season. Now it feels like when this or
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: your seasons are officially sunk, Oregon's might be anyway with
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: three losses. They will absolutely have to run the table
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to have a shot at the 12-team playoff. Meanwhile, Ohio
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: State might be entering that conversation as well. Teams just
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: don't have quality backup quarterbacks because those guys leave to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: start somewhere else. NIL was never my issue. It was
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the transfer portal being as easy as it is to navigate. That,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to me, has caused a much bigger problem for me
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: in the college football world than guys getting paid money
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: from some silly person that has way too much money
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: that wants.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: To give them cash for Playing football. Playing football.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess two are connected because then
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you can enter the transfer portal because you're getting an
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: NIL deal, right? But, you know, I agree with you.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: That aspect of it is much more problematic than the
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: actual getting money part of it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Rutgers at Wisconsin at 115 tomorrow. There's no way Rutgers
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: should be getting 18 points in that game. I don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: know why they are.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I almost picked it for fact or fiction.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Iowa's at Northwestern. That's turned out to be a really
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: good game. Northwestern's got college football playoff dreams at this point.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: That's at 4.30.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Michigan State at Michigan at 4.30 as well, the Battle
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of Michigan. And then, of course, the Huskies hosting Penn
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: State at 12.30. Kick off right here at KJR, 8.30.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: The Honks will get going tomorrow. So we got a
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: heck of a day. Heck of a day in college football.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: The Big Ten's schedule sort of pales in comparison to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: everything else that's going on in the nation, but still
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: some really good games in there. All right, Hugh Millen's
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: going to join us next. X's and O's with our QB1.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, it's probably been a while
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: since you've heard from Hugh, so, you know. Thought maybe
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: you were missing him.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Four days in one week?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Not enough.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I'd put him back on with you.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Let's get him back.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: We'll do that next on KJR.
