• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KKRFM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Sports Headlines.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Frostbrood, Coors Light, Cold as the Rockies.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It's a Washington State Beef Commission Football Friday. Football Friday
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: is brought to you by Washington's Beef Farmers and Ranchers Beef.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's what's for dinner.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I had beef for dinner last night and I had
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: it for lunch today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's even better. Yeah. Can't go wrong. Well, not quite
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the day before the day before. That's tomorrow as the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Seahawks prepare to host the Bears at Lumen Field on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. Some surprises, though, on yesterday's injury report.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Leonard Williams, a limited participant, dealing with an Achilles issue.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Chenna Nuosu did not participate. He had an ankle issue.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: We'll get the full report later on this afternoon, probably
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: before Fane turns it over to Benton for.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Kraken pregame. Usually that comes around 4-4-15, so we will
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: have that. But again, it'll be a Thursday report, not
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: even a Friday report. It's a Thursday report, because today
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: is Thursday for the Monday game.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and tomorrow's the day before the day before.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow will be the day before the day before. Ravens
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: expect to have quarterback Lamar Jackson back when they face
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the Bills on Sunday. He's missed the last three games
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: with a high ankle sprain. Carnell Tate out for the Titans. Scott,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: if you're for the Titans, do you even want to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: play right now? Titans and Colts, like, eh, I'm good.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: That's why I was like, when you said Cardinal Tate's out,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I mean.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he be?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: What the hell? What are we playing for? Green Bay
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Packers beat the Carolina Panthers last night. Kraken are in
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Calgary to face the Flames. As we mentioned, Huskies take
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on Nebraska tomorrow at 5, pregame at 1 on 93.3 KGRFM.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And according to many sources, Mariners are bringing back C.J.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Gilliam as a Major League hitting coach. They haven't hired
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the manager, but they hired the hitting coach.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't you let the manager hire his own hitting coach?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I would think so.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Or at least have a say in it?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, keep the music playing for a second.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: This feels weird. Yeah. And I know that the baseball
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: writing guys, oh, no, this is normal. Well, remember, they
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: retained a few guys like Pete Woodworth.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Right, they kept Pete Woodworth, yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So whoever the manager's coming in, he can't even hire
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: his whole staff. He's got to go with what they
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: give him.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Well, and they did say, well, if the manager comes
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: in and wants to get rid of more people, that's
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: always a possibility. But I just don't understand why you
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: would hire anyone before you've hired a manager.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: This has a Ryan Grubb feel to it. Yeah, it does.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You can't pick that out before.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Did that work well?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It didn't for the.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Seahawks, no.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I want to confirm that because I wasn't sure, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it worked great for them. No, it didn't.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: It didn't work out well for Ryan Grubb either. if
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: we're being honest.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And there's people down in Tuscaloosa that think it's not
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: working well for Ryan Grubb down there either. That's probably true.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Right? So, yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But C.J. Gillian, major league hitting coach. Now, he did
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: do all the stuff with the minor league guys. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: so they're like, oh, he worked well with the young guys. Well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that was in the minor leagues, man. It's a whole
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: different world.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It's a whole different world.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Here's the perception. Just I'll wrap it up with this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: This is the perception. They, Jerry DiPoto still picks the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: lineups and runs the team.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And that's not going to change if you're hiring the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: hitting coach before the manager.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: That may not be reality, and I don't think it is.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But you're right. It won't change. All right. Rob Rank
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: standing by.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: As part of our never-ending coverage of the NFL, it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: time for Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rank from FoxSports.com.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Farrelly's Pizza. On your home for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the 12th man in the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Rob Rank joining us. Yes, indeed. Our
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: weekly visit. Kind of feels like things haven't been normal
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the last couple weeks with Rob, with Funston, with all
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: kinds of things. We're back to normal. 2 o'clock. Brought
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to you by our good friends at Farrelly's Pizza. Farrelly'sPizza.com.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Rob Rang is here talking all things college football weekend,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: especially as it relates to the draft. But Rob also,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of course, does the Seahawks Triple Option podcast with Turbo,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Robert Turbin, and our buddy Corbin Smith. Talks NFL all
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the time. We'll get to that. Rob, I don't know
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: if you know, there's a couple things happening in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: NFL the last couple days. Have you seen any of
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that stuff?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Certainly have.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: There's been some massive trades here with the Seahawks, Quentin Nelson,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: and the Bears, and Jeffrey Simmons.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: There's been a few things. Before I get to this
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: on a personal note, I want to mention this because
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: our friend Rob Rang, of course, FoxSports.com, and I should
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: point out coming up, I think at some point today,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: if it's not up already, at FoxSports.com, you've got a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: draft board up there we'll talk about at the end
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of the segment today, and folks can go check that out. Uh,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: so Rob does that. He's been our draft insider since
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: him and I met about almost 20 years ago, right
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: here at the, uh, well actually at the old Northwest
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: college is where we first met. But, uh, you know, it's, it's,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so we've known each other forever. He's our, he comes in,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he does all our draft analysis pre and then during
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the draft, our great coverage that we do for our
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: three day extravaganza, but also works for the BC lions
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of the Canadian football league. You guys have a playoff
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: game this weekend, right?
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Massive football game against a massive playoff game. The West
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: semifinals against the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, the defending champions. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: basically want to vomit to even say that because they're
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: the team that knocked us out of the playoffs last year.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: And we're hoping to exact a little bit of revenge
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: on Saturday at 1.30.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: There's some familiar names, right, that play for you guys?
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: There certainly are.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: These are not players that they actually made the Seahawks roster. Otherwise,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: they wouldn't be members of the BC Lions. But they
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: were on Seattle's rookie roster, essentially. Rookie minicamps and things
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: of that nature. Jonah Tavai, Deontay Williams, Levi Bell. That's
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: one of the opportunities I get is to evaluate players
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: in different NFL camps. And I tried to lure them north,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: and they have become three superstars for us. So really
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: excited about that. We have a real candidate in for
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: the CFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in Parker McKenna.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Of course, he led the Cougars in tackles a couple
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: years ago, or last year, for Washington State.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: So excited about that. And then DeMond Williams.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: We talk so much about DeMond. You know, if he
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: does not have a future in college football or in
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: the NFL, and I say a big if because he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: a very talented player, but I certainly think that he
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: would fit in very nicely in the wide open fields
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: of the Canadian Football League. So he is on our
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: negotiation list. which basically means that we have his rights
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: if he were decided to make himself eligible for the CFL.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: So very excited about all the local prospects that might
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: wind up being players for the BC Lions.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to get to the NFL stuff
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: because this is something you can help us out with
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit. and he's going to play left guard,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and Mike McDonald told us on Thursday he is the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: left guard, and they're moving Gray Zabel to the right guard. Now,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Zabel played all over the line in college. He's in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: his second year in the NFL, first-round pick. We spent
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of time talking about him pre-draft, also post-draft. Rob, you,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I think, got a look as well, senior bowl stuff.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He played some center, but they're going to put him
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: at right guard, and Mike McDonald did confirm that Thursday.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I was actually a little surprised he did, but Let's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: talk about Gray Zabel. We know what Quentin Nelson is.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: He's the best in the biz. He'll play left guard.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He'll go to Canton, Ohio someday. Gray Zabel at right guard.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm intrigued by it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: A lot of times the right guard, the strong side
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: position in a lot of formations, is a bigger-bodied kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: of guy. And obviously you are losing some just flat
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: girth when you're going from Anthony Bradford, who's going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: be on the sideline, basically, in this scenario. Gray Zabel's
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: quickness is going to give Seattle an advantage on that
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: right side, but they aren't going to lose some of
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: that knockback power that Anthony Bradford provides.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So I think that this is an interesting experiment.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: I think it's one that could pay off hugely. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: think it's the most logical route for Seattle to take. Look,
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: I think that Graves Abel did a great job as
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: a rookie. I think that his play has kind of
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: taken a little bit of a step back this season
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: so far. I do think that it was better against the.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: In this past week.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, I also think that it
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: is going to take a little bit of acclimation going
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: back to the right side. I just ask a lot
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: of our listeners, and thank you so much to all
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: of our listeners for all the support. But if you
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: haven't played football, you haven't played on the opposite side
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: of an offensive line, just try writing with your opposite hand.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: That gives you a little bit of an idea. You
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: can probably do it, but it's not going to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: quite as legible as it would be if you're using
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: your normal hand, your dominant hand. And so Gray Zabel
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: is going to be successful in this regard. I think
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: that they're going to see a significant uptick in success in.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: The wide zone type of blocking.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: That was one of the things that Anthony Bradford struggled
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: with in this past game against Kansas City. He was
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: able to move people at the line of scrimmage, but
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: he really struggled to get to those linebackers in space.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: That's something that really is Gray Zabel's, one of his
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: best assets. So I think you'll see Seattle take full
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: advantage of the greater athletic ability, but there's also going
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: to be some times where he's going to get knocked
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: back a little bit by some of the bigger guys
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: he's going to be facing on that side of the line.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: All right. So, which is an interesting dynamic along the way.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about what else happened. Jeffrey Simmons goes to Chicago.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We're going to see those guys on Monday night. He's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: as good as there is right in the interior of
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the NFL.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: No question about it, Ian. This is a significant move
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: here by the Chicago Bears. I would have loved for
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: it to happen a week later. Yeah. Y'all didn't have
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: to deal with this guy because he is an absolute monster.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, just.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: You know, as just a football scout, as a talent evaluator,
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: I love the fact that you're going to see Quentin
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Nelson and Jeffrey Simmons here going head-to-head.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Now, of course, they've done that in the past.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Nelson was a member of the Colts and Simmons was
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: a member of the Titans. They played a couple of
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: times a year. But now we're going to get up
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: close and personal here in Seattle on Monday Night Football.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: I'm sure the camera's going to be focused on that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: on just the sheer power of both of these two
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: players going at it. You mentioned Turbo and our locked-on
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: or excuse me, our triple option podcast that we've been
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: doing just in yesterday's show. You know, we, we talked
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: about the fact that this was a, you know, kind
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: of like.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: A heavyweight battle.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is like, you know, Vander Holyfield or
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Mike Tyson or, or George Foreman or whoever you want
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: to mention. I mean, these are going to be two
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: powerful men just slugging it out. I think it's going to,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: for those willing to take their eyes off the football
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: a little bit and just focus in on the, on
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: the power and technique that make up the line and scrimmage,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: this is about as good.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: As it gets.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner goes back to San Francisco, and that's also
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: an upgrade for the 49ers, isn't it?
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: No question about it. The 49ers are already a pretty
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: talented defensive line. I mean, they gave Seattle, frankly, more
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: than they could handle the 49ers winning that game, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: I think a big part of it was their ability
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: to push Seattle's offensive line around a little bit. One
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: of the biggest reasons why John Schneider decided to make
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: the big trade for Quentin Nelson was DeForest Buckner has
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: been an awfully good player for an awfully long time.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: He's similar in size and style as Seattle's Leonard Williams.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's quite as good as Big Cat.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's a defense tackle in the NFL
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: who is quite as.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Versatile as Leonard Williams, but this is a significant upgrade
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: for San Francisco, and he's going to make that round
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: two matchup between Seattle and San Francisco that much more compelling.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Rob, before I get to the games this weekend, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: do want to get to some of the news from
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the last week. And along the lines of that news,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that would be Dante Moore is out for the season.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: We talk a lot about him this season, talk about
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the quarterbacks a lot on this show every week, brought
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: to you by our friends at Farrelly's Pizza. What do
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you think, has Dante Moore's draft stock slipped? He hasn't
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: played a lot of football, whatever the injury, sounds like
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: it's just a concussion, full recovery, all those things. What
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: are you hearing in scouting circles about Dante Moore?
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: You know, it's unfortunate that I have to use the
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: word slip here to talk about Dante Moore. Just because
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: of the fact that, you know, I think there was
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: such expectation that he was going to take that next step.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: And he just hasn't taken that next step.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: He was dominant at times these past couple of seasons.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: I mean, he goes all the way back to UCLA.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: And some of his plays that he had as a
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: true freshman, or excuse me, the redshirt freshman, were just
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: absolutely fantastic. And then, of course, the big win, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: think it was against Penn State a couple of years
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: ago at Oregon, just showed poise. And he remains the
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: most accurate quarterback, at least in my opinion, the most
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: accurate quarterback of any of the quarterbacks who are potentially
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: eligible for 2027 drafts. That said, obviously the medical questions
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: that you now have, and then the fact that he
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: did not play as well in some of the big games,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: getting beat on the road to Oklahoma State where he
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: was going up against another very talented quarterback in Drew Mestemaker.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: And Mestemaker made plays down the stretch to kind of
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: wheel his team to victory and kept waiting for Dante
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Moore to do the same, and it just didn't happen.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: And now the opportunity to kind of right the ship,
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: so to speak, has been kind of stolen from him.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: So I do think that he has slipped just because
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: of the fact that we're.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Still left wanting a little bit more, sorry for the
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: pun there, wanting a little bit more for more. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: so I think that at this point, it's probably the
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: most likely scenario is that he returns to college, whether
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: he goes to or he remains in Oregon and goes
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: somewhere else in this era of liberal transfer policy.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: But I just.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I think that he is going to have a– I
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: think that he could be a very successful NFL quarterback.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: I think that he absolutely is the first-round candidate as
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: soon as the medical comes through okay.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: But I'm expecting Dante.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Moore to become the top quarterback in this class right
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: there with Arch Manning. And both of them, in my opinion,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: have basically, you know, treaded water rather than taking the
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: next step forward.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: All right. This is Rob Ryan brought to you by
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: good friends of Froley Speeds. Hey, how about this? The
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Hawks Snacker Platter. It's a perfect addition to any table
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: watching the Seahawks defend their Super Bowl title. Half cheesy breadsticks,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: half fire sticks, 12 chicken wings, $ 26. 99. Order yours in advance,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: but order yours for Monday Night Football with the Seahawks
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: taking on the Chicago Bears this week. Forellispizza.com for location
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: near you. All right, Rob, let's get into some of
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the games this weekend. I guess they don't call it
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the cocktail party anymore, and I think it's even being
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: held at the Georgia Dome this year. Florida, number 17
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in the country, number three Georgia, and... just assuming there's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a couple prospects in this game, including the top running
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: back in the country.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: No doubt about it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I still call it the outdoor cocktail party. I mean,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: if it's an indoor cocktail party, then it should be
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: at Torelli's as far as that's concerned. But with the, yeah, Florida, Georgia,
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: just going to have all kinds of talent. And as
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: you mentioned, the running back, Jaden Baugh for Florida. To me,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: it's funny. We talked about NFL trades just a couple
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: of moments ago.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: And one of the players that there.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Was so much scuttlebutt that possibly Jonathan Taylor would get traded.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: To me, Jaden Baugh is very similar in size, stature, style.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Uh, style. as Jonathan Taylor. I mean, he's listed at
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: six foot.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: I think he's probably going to come in closer to 5'10, 5'11,
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: but 225, 230 pounds, and yet still has that breakaway speed.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: He had a 75-yard touchdown run. He's got, I believe
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: it's five touchdown runs so far this season, Ian, of
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: at least 50 yards. I mean, that's crazy numbers for
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: a guy of his size. And he can also just
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: put you on your backside if you try to tackle
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: him just straight up. So he is a dynamic talent.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: He is easily the most talented player for the Florida Gators.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: I am intrigued by a couple of their young defensive players.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: They've got a British-born defensive lineman, a senior, 6'6. 299 pounds.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Emmanuel Oye Badejo, number 99. He's got three and a
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: half sacks so far this season. And if all you
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: saw was him against Auburn, you would think he was
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: a first-round pick. I mean, he had three sacks in
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: that game alone. Really long arms and strong. But you
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: just see inconsistencies everywhere. I want to see him polish
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: things up a little bit more. That's typical of a
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: lot of the players that began their football career anywhere
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: other than the United States where they haven't played nearly
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: as much. I'm also intrigued by Jaden Woods, a sophomore
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: edge rusher.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: He's number zero in the NBA. 6'3, 245 pounds.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: He actually leads the Gators in sacks four and a
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: half so far this season.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: He's quick.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: He just seems to get a little bit stronger in
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: his upper body. But you can see that he is
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: a player to kind of watch in the future. The
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Georgia Bulldogs are absolutely loaded. I mean, especially on defense.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Kirby Smart is terrific as far as recruiting and developing
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: these players. I've got to talk a little bit about
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Chris Cole, number nine. This is a guy that you
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: might remember last year, it was Arbel Reese at Ohio State.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Kind of went from a part-time starter to, I think,
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: his number five overall selection this past draft. That's the
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: type of trajectory that we're going to.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: See from Chris Cole.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: He was in and out of the starting lineup for
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Georgia for the last couple of years, but now he
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: is one of the elite players in all the drafts.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: You know, the new article I have at FoxSports.com is
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: going to be my top 50 big board. And I
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: have Chris Cole at number four overall. I mean, this
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: guy is just a phenomenal player. He's going to wind
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: up being a top five selection this year. To me,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: he's one of the players that you absolutely must see
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: in college football this season.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Rob Rank joining us, courtesy of Forelli's Pizza, forellispizza.com. Again,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: look for their game day menus, forellispizza.com. You can check
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: out the menus, find a location near you. Arizona State
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: at number eight, BYU. And you're at the point now
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: in the season with some of these teams that are
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: thinking about playoffs, and BYU would be one of those.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: They have a disappointing loss at UCF, kind of the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: fall off after the huge emotional win against Notre Dame
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the week before. They go down to UCF and they
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: get beat. They've got Arizona State coming in. They should
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: handle the Sun Devils. But, you know, it's a dangerous game.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about some of the guys that might
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: be watching as far as BYU is concerned. I know
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of linebackers you like.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, everybody knows about the quarterback, Bear Bachmeier,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: by now.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: He's just as gritty, as tough as you're ever going
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: to see at the quarterback position.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: He plays quarterback.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Like he's a linebacker, but BYU actually has a couple
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: of linebackers. that are actual linebackers that are really intriguing
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: guys as well. Cade Uluwabe, number four, is kind of
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: that traditional inside linebacker, 6'2, 230 pounds, really instinctive, very physical,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: isn't an elite athlete. But he's just, again, such a
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: physical player that I love his game.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I think he's a mid-round NFL draft pick.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: That winds up, quote-unquote, surprising people when he wants to
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: become a starter in the future. I'm also intrigued by
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: number 16, Isaiah Glasker.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: He's got kind of.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: A unique frame for an outside linebacker. 6'5, 240 pounds,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: and a lot of guys that size you would think
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: would be edge rusher. And he can do that, but
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: he's actually at his best operating in reverse and dropping
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: back into coverage.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: He uses his long arms. He locates the football really well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: To me, I don't see the physicality that I think
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: that you have to have to be successful in the
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: NFL at that size.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: I do think that he'd be really intriguing in the CFL.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: So I'm very much watching Isaiah Glasgow as well.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: And really, in.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Terms of just NFL prospects, the story in this game Ian,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: is Arizona State and the wide receivers. They've got a
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: couple of transfers. Reed Harris, number three, and Omarion Miller,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: number four, Reed Harris, six foot five, 220 pounder that,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: you know, I probably, I just mentioned that the top
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: 50 big board literally Reed Harris is number 51. And
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: I probably should have put him on the board just
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: because I want to kind of call my shot here
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: a little bit with him. He's a P he's a
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: player that a lot of, a lot of people are
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: talking about nationally. He's a transfer from Boston college. He's
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: got seven touchdowns so far this season and, and just
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: the agility and acceleration that he has at six foot five,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: 220 pounds and, I just think translates to the NFL very,
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: very well. But he's a Great Falls, Montana, raised kid.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: And so again, he's just a little bit under the
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: radar for a lot of folks. Whereas the other receiver,
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: number four, Omarion Miller, he transferred from Colorado. He was
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: originally from.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: The state of Louisiana.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: And we all know that in the South, they have
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: a lot of great talent. They also have a lot
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: of great hype about some of their prospects. And so
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: he's got more buzz to him. I think he signed
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: with Colorado as like a four or five-star recruit.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: He's a good player. He's an absolutely NFL-caliber guy.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: But just doesn't play at the same consistency and explosiveness
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: that I see.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: From Reed Harris.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: As you mentioned, BYU came off the emotional victory over
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame and then stubbed their toes to speak against
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Central Florida.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: They had better be on their P's and Q's against.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: This Arizona State team just because Arizona State does have
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: the firepower at the wide receiver position to be able
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: to put up some points and make that a little
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: bit of a ballgame.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Rob Rank joining us. Let's talk quarterbacks just for a
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: second because, you know, watching all these trades in the NFL,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a team like Indianapolis, they definitely need a quarterback even
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: though they They picked up one a couple years ago
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: in Anthony Richardson. They got Daniel Jones, but they're probably
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: going to be looking for a quarterback, and whoever else
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is not good this year looking for quarterbacks, unless you're
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: named Tennessee or something because you got Cam Ward already.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: But if you look around the league or around college football,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the quarterbacks, there's a lot of names I think are interesting.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: We talked about two of those. You mentioned Arch Manning.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: We talked about Dante Moore. What about, say, Drew Mestemaker
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: at Oklahoma State?
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Well, he's got a fun game, you know, just this Saturday.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: He's going to be on the road to Iowa State. And,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: you know, Ames can, you know, that's a hostile crowd,
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: hostile environment. So I think with true mess to make,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: you're talking about a guy that, you know, this is
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: his first season at Oklahoma State, previously at North Texas.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: So any home or any away game, I think it
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: just has that much more, you know, more buildup and
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: more attention focused on him. He was like the darling,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: so to speak, coming into this season. People were talking
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: about him, but now with Arch Main perhaps taking a
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: step back, certainly Dante Moore with the medical issues, suddenly
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Metamaker is QB1 in a lot of people's eyes. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: I'm very intrigued by how he's going to be able
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: to handle the pressure, not just the pressure himself, that
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: the Cyclones are going to put on him and that crowd,
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: but just the pressure of all the expectations now. So
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: he is fascinating though. I mean, the comparison I use
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: for him is Josh Allen, which obviously means an MVP.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Caliber type of talent.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: At the same time, people forget how raw Josh Allen
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: was coming out of Wyoming and how slow it took
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: or how long it took him to really become the
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: NFL superstar that he became. Will the Nesta Makers future
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: NFL team be willing to show that much patience and
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: to allow Best to Maker to develop. That to me
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: is a really intriguing matchup.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: And while I'm on the topic of quarterbacks, Daria Vinsa.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: And number one Miami Hurricanes, they're going to go on
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: and play in Chapel Hill against Bill Belichick, who knows
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: a little bit about confusing young quarterbacks. So I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: this is kind of a sneaky game for Miami. Not
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: that I think that North Carolina physically should be able
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to even be on the same field physically, as the
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Miami Hurricanes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: But I do think.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: That Belichick is obviously a savvy enough defensive mind that
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: he might be able to confuse Darion Mensah a little bit.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: So I think that's kind of a sneaky matchup to
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: watch for a quarterback, again, going on the road that
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: has a lot of eyes on him at this point.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just, it's... Can we say this right now
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: that the quarterback class is still very much up in
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the air in terms of quality and who's going where
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: heading into the 2027 draft?
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I think that is very safe to say. And I
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: also think that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Again, we live in this era now where quarterbacks are
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: transferring here, there, and everywhere. They're getting so much money
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: to stay in college. There was so much hype entering
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: this year that all of these quarterbacks were, of course,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: they're all going to jump into the NFL. And most
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: of them are underclassmen. And so there's, you know, there's
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: a possibility that Archman returns, that Dante Moore returns, Restemaker returns.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: And so a guy like, or Darian Menta returns. And so, yeah,
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: I think that there is a chance that some of
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: these quarterbacks are going to come out into the NFL draft,
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: and it's going to be the bonanza quarterback draft that everybody.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Was hoping it would be.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: But I think it's also a possibility that most of
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: them say, the heck with it. I'm going to stick
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: in college football, and that is going to make it
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: that much more fascinating from an NFL draft perspective because
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: then some of these other players that don't play the
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: quarterback position are just going to be moving their stock
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: up that much higher.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. All right, tell me what we've
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: got coming up. It might be up already, but at foxsports.com,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: my man's got a draft board. I think he's got
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: a draft board. What do you got?
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got the top 50 draft board or big board, whatever,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: however you want to call it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: And basically just I'm ranking the top 50 prospects I've
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: seen so far in college football. Now, again, there's the
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: caveat that I just mentioned is that some of these players,
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: especially quarterbacks, are just going to choose to return to
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the college football. And you're going to see why I
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: predicted that the Texas Longhorns were going to wind up
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: winning it all when it's all said and done, because
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: it's not just Arch Manning. While he gets all the attention,
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: the number two player on my list is Colin Simmons,
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: the edge rusher. Now, Colin Simmons, basically because of a
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: high ankle sprain, has opted not to play in a
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: couple of games here. And there are some questions whether
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: that he is, you know, all in. Texas Longhorns, he's
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: already looking at where... he might stand in the NFL draft.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: That's part of the reason why the comparison I have
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: for him is Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons, of course, set
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: off the COVID season. He has wound up being, what,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: the ninth or tenth overall selection of Dallas Cowboys, and
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: we all know what a superstar he has become. Colin
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Simmons has that type of juice off the edge. Absolutely
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: fantastic player.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Would be and maybe even could be the.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Number one overall selection just because of the extra value
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: of an edge rusher. But there's no question about it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I talked about this before. The best player in college
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: football is Jeremiah Smith. the wide receiver at Ohio State.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Number three on.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: My board is Leonard Moore, the cornerback from Notre Dame.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: We talked about him a lot as well. To me, Ian,
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: that's where this talent of this draft class is still special.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Regardless of what the quarterbacks decide to do, there are
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: some really, truly special blue-chip players available to just happily
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: play in positions other than quarterback.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, Rob, as always. Go check that out at FoxSports.com.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: We will check in next week, my friend, as the
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: games heat up even more down the stretch, heading towards
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the college football playoff and, of course, the 2027 NFL draft.
• 27:20

  Speaker 2: do this. We'll take a break. We'll come back. We're
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: going to just get probably back in time for a
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: little factor fiction pick. We've got booze news as well

  Speaker 2: with my pick. And by the way, again, a couple
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: guys texted in yesterday, Ash. Yeah. I don't find it
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: funny at all. I don't see any humor when you
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: guys say we just automatically go fiction with Ian.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Didn't someone say that it was like disingenuous when you
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: say fact or fiction?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they said it's disingenuous when I say fact or fiction.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It should be fiction.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, mine was fiction last night. Should have gone
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: with my gut.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Did you not think, though, before I get my pick?
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So when Carolina is going to get the ball back
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: with six minutes left before they went Promptly three now.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And they're down by eight.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: They're going to score. It's going to be a two
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: point game. We cover. We're done. And that's it. Yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I thought that was going to happen.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: But I knew because going into it, I was like,
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Green Bay is going to win this game.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Green Bay is going to win this game. I picked
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Green Bay to win it in my pickup.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: And I was like, and then I was like. Should
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: have just gone with it. Carolina fired their D coordinator today,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: and rightfully so. Okay. Factor Fiction brought to you by
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: the Lucky Eagle Casino Resort. Every day feels lucky. $ 1, 000
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: weekly prize. If you're correct, you're automatically entered. No matter
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: how many correct picks you have, you have a chance
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: to win. But the more you're correct, the better chance
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: you have to win. And Fiction, 49451 if you disagree. Listen,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: I like doing this. I don't know if this is good.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: It's probably bad for the Huskies, so I guess I'll
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: put it that way. Washington at Nebraska. We'll have the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: game for you here on 93.3 KGRFM. I know Softy
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: yesterday I think took the under, right, on that game?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Yep, under 50.5.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Just a gutless pick. Why wouldn't you at least pick
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: your team? If you're going to go down there, just
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: take the team. That's what I'm going to do. Washington
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: is getting 7.5. Oh, no. Huskies plus seven and a half. Oh,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: my gosh. Fact 49451. Take it to the bank. Lock
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: all day long. Washington walks into Lincoln just like in
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the good old days. Tom Osborne versus Don James. Here
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: we go. Big win for the dogs. Here we go.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: You just pissed off so many Husky fans.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Washington wins. Washington plus seven and a half. Or at
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: least they cover. Because you get that little hook on
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the seven and a half. Yeah, you do. So we
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: kind of dig that. So Washington plus seven and a half.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Fact.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Four, nine, four, five, one. If you disagree, fiction. Four, nine, four, five, one.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: I like it, but I don't like why you're doing it. Oh,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: just because it's kind of greasy? Because then it just
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: makes you happy either way.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Either they lose. I'm a lot happier if they just lose. Yeah. But,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: you know, here's the problem. I got also the other
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: problem with it now. Like, Washington fans this year have
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: turned me against Oregon. Oh. I dislike Oregon maybe more
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: than I dislike Washington.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Oregon's unlikable.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the dark side.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: They've always kind of been unlikable. Dan Lanning makes them
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: really unlikable. Oh, great.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Unless you're an Oregon fan, they're the only people that
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: like him.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very unlikable. On every level, they're unlikable. Nebraska's
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: quarterback said, hey, I'm coming back next year. I'm signing
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: an IL deal, kind of following the Jesse Legree footsteps.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I think Nico did that with UCLA, although he's got
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: an ACL. It's not going to win the NFL anyway, dude.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: But Calandria coming back next season for Nebraska, that's going
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: to give them a little boost initially, and then they're
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: going to realize, do we really want you back? Maybe
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: we miss Raiola, I don't know. But I think Washington
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: covers 7.5, because I do believe, and I'm going to
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: be serious, I do believe that Jed Fish is going
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: to do the right thing and start Elijah Brown. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: hope so. I think that's what he's going to do.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I think he is.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: I just think there's no way. You don't have a
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: justification for starting Devon Williams.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You don't. And listening to the Hawks briefly this week,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: as long as I can handle it. No, they do
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: a good job. I love Mario and Greg. Pride of
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Ingram High School and Franklin High School. I love those guys.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Greg's making fun of. DeJuan Williams, like saying he can't
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: see over the line. And Mario's saying, I don't want
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: him being the quarterback.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Like that's, that's, I know not statistically, but in my mind,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Mario Bailey is still, to me, he's my favorite Husky
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: receiver of all time. The guy doing a Heisman pose
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: and just shoving it on Michigan. And he's a local
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Seattle kid. And he's like, I don't want this guy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I want the other guy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And I'll take his word for it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I think Jed Fish, he's a lot of things. Old
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Jed Fish, he's a lot of things. Not all good.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: He's a lot of things. He's not dumb.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: No, he's definitely not dumb.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: The question is, is there pressure for him to play
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the $ 4 million kid? I don't think there is. I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: think this is this. Washington took a stand and brought
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: him back, made him come back, made him adhere to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the contract he signed. But I think Washington can make
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: a stand here and say, hey, we're not just going
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: to play the NIL kid. And if they play Brown,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: all joking aside, if they play Brown, they have a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: better chance to win or at least keep it a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: close game. So I'm going to go Washington plus seven
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: and a half. If you agree, fact, 49451. If you disagree, fiction, 49451.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Text in right now, 49451, Washington plus seven and a half.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Fact.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: If you disagree, fiction, 49451. $ 1, 000 weekly prize, $ 10, 000 grand
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: prize awarded every week. That 1,000 is 10,000 at the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: end of the year. We'll do a little booze news,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: shall we? Yes, I can't wait. Booze news coming up next.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Ashley and this is The Booze News. Cheers.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Is it just me or has this week.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Felt extra long? You know why? Because the weather's turning.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Halloween's upon us, which is great. I love Halloween, but
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Halloween I always get kind of bummed out because we're
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: starting to get towards the end of college football.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think of that. And then, I mean,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I love Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday without even, there's
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: not even a close number to. Okay. But Sunday, we
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: turn the clocks.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Fall back. I'm with you. It felt long. And you
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: know why it feels long? Because I can't even enjoy
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: booze news thanks to Tito's today.

  Speaker 2: much i appreciate that booze news is that's like covid
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: the cocktails.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: To go yeah there you go that was actually one
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: of the best things to come out of that was
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: the only good thing to come out of it i
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: remember picking up i remember i don't want to jump
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: on but i remember picking up cocktails to go from
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: john howie oh yeah at c star when he was
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: doing his food to go stuff and i was trying
• 34:31

• 34:34
  Speaker 5: people started doing that yeah that was okay i didn't
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: mind that yeah i think we should continue that trend
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: i'm in i'm in 100 all right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: What do we got All right.

• 34:50
  Speaker 3: know if you heard.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: The Brewers won the World Series.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Nope. Had no idea.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: It's their first ever in franchise history, actually.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: You mean there's teams that haven't won the World Series?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: There are teams that have not won the World Series. Yeah.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of mixed emotions about Milwaukee's win around
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: these parts. Obviously, the Brewers are the old Seattle Pilots
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: who played for one year here in 1969 before they
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: made that move to Milwaukee. So, yes, you can be
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: bitter that they were ours first, but think about this.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: If the Pilots stayed here, we wouldn't have the Mariners.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: We wouldn't want to rip our hair out every time
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: they start a season slowly.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: We wouldn't want to puke every.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Time they forget how to play baseball, then miraculously figure
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: it out and go on an eight-game.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Win streak just to lose it all again.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: We wouldn't be able.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: To get ourselves all worked up in August because they
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: can finally hit the ball and we're only four games out.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Ashley, you're getting me worked up right now and it's October. Okay, good.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Mission accomplished.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: We wouldn't be glued to the TVs in September hoping
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: the math will math and the Mariners will get the
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: job done.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: It's early.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Only to fall one game short of a playoff berth
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: more often than not. We'd be like every other team
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: in baseball. We would have gone to a World Series.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: We are daring to be different.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I like the glass half full approach.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, see?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: So sure, we'd be celebrating a World Series title, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: then what?
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then what?
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Right now, we've got goals. Goals that have.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Been in place and not changed since 1977 when this
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: franchise started. If you achieve those goals... Well, then you've
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: got to set up new goals, and that seems like
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: a lot of work.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: That's no fun.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: See, there you go.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: This is a good thing.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Cheers to our goals, and congrats to the Brewers. You're welcome.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Have you heard they play the game the right way?
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: I have heard that. Yeah, I just heard that this week.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Never heard it before.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks are getting ready for their third primetime game
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: in a row when the Bears come to town on
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: Monday night. And with the addition of Quentin Nelson, a
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: lot of fans and the team seem even more excited.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I'm more excited. I think you are as well, right?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: You have to be. Yeah, more optimistic. I was there.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I laid eyes on that dude coming out yesterday. He
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: looks like he is pissed off at the world.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: He did speak to the media yesterday.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I loved his backwards visor.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: And I have to admit, I was a little disappointed
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: in the line of questioning he faced. At one point,
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: he was asked about scoring a touchdown as a fullback
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: in his subsequent keg stand celebration. The question wasn't about
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: the celebration, though. It was about whether or not he's
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: already talked to Brian Flurry about playing fullback. Here's the thing, though.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: You had like an opening right there. You should have
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: led with, what's your longest keg stand?
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Quentin would have looked impressed by that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: He was not impressed by asking him about fullback.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: He wanted to know part of the fullback question.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: And if you'd said, okay, so you did a keg
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: stand celebration. What's the longest keg stand? He would have
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: thought about it. He would have given you a good answer.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: And we would have gotten to know Quentin a little
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: bit more.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Have you done a keg stand?
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I'm too big to do them, but we did beer bongs.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, those two. I'm better at a keg stand.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, beer bongs, I long ago can't do. I couldn't
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: think about doing it now, but yeah, keg stands, we, yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: that's Quentin Nelson doing a keg stand. Who picked him
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: up to do it?
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I want to see it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: It had to be other offensive linemen. I think if
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: they win the Super Bowl, we need them to do
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: a keg stand.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: He might loosen up by then.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he will.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: I think he will.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Gosh.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're going to wrap it up with this interesting
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: story I came across. There was an interesting arrest in
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Pierce County this weekend. It actually made national headlines. The
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Pierce County Sheriff's Office says they arrested a 24-year-old man
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: on October 23rd after a stolen work van became stuck
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: in a ditch.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: You think, like, okay, nothing really that important about that, right?
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Well, the PCSO says the response began after witnesses reported...
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: seeing a man hiding tools from the van in nearby bushes.
• 38:38
