- 0:03Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Greg Bill with us here. Well,
- 0:06Speaker 1: we're getting ready to leave the cold and head down
- 0:08Speaker 1: to the desert helping on the team plane. Here, tell
- 0:12Speaker 1: me your perspective on this week. That defense played well
- 0:14Speaker 1: last week against USC, shout him out in the second half.
- 0:16Speaker 2: But this is a whole nother challenge.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Arizona's really good and savaging thirty seven points a game.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big test, at least for the pass rush.
- 0:23Speaker 3: That's something that they haven't had consistently all year. But
- 0:26Speaker 3: it's a big opportunity for guys like Josh Shirley, guys
- 0:29Speaker 3: that Andrew Hudson and the.
- 0:31Speaker 4: Schemes that Josh Justin Wilcock likes to do.
- 0:34Speaker 5: He hasn't really been able to do pass rush wise
- 0:36Speaker 5: last three weeks because Stanford, Oregon USC have all been
- 0:39Speaker 5: run first offenses. So here's a big chance here and
- 0:41Speaker 5: next week with Oregon State to get the pass russ
- 0:44Speaker 5: going and they're gonna get many chances to do it.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Fifties there you go.
- 0:49Speaker 6: That is Elise Woodward with Greg belfrom win twenty twelve
- 0:53Speaker 6: twelve twenty.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Well did a minute else?
- 0:55Speaker 2: I love that at.
- 0:56Speaker 6: Least Woodward at least Woodward is joining us. Now, what'd
- 0:59Speaker 6: you think of that?
- 1:01Speaker 7: Oh my god, triple G.

- 1:20Speaker 4: It is. The last time I saw you in person,
- 1:23Speaker 4: we were on the site. We were in the end
- 1:24Speaker 4: zone pregame at the National Championship Game in Houston, Washington
- 1:29Speaker 4: and Michigan of course a couple of years ago. And
- 1:31Speaker 4: now you just a great guns since I've seen.
- 1:34Speaker 7: You bring that. You got to bring that one up, Greg,
- 1:37Speaker 7: you bring it all down.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing could have done without that.
- 1:42Speaker 4: I was making the point that she has great gun
- 1:45Speaker 4: since then. And now you're part of the great Portland
- 1:48Speaker 4: fire that you even the Seattle Storm broadcast team with
- 1:51Speaker 4: Dick Fane and going down to congratulations.
- 1:57Speaker 7: Thanks God. I'm really excited about it. It's uh, it's
- 2:01Speaker 7: an organization that's I know how much you like the
- 2:05Speaker 7: analytics and innovation, and that's what they're all about. It's
- 2:07Speaker 7: gonna it's I'm really really excited about the opportunity.
- 2:12Speaker 4: How'd you get involved? Do you know the Bethals the
- 2:14Speaker 4: siblings who owned them, or what was the relationship or
- 2:17Speaker 4: how did you know about this?
- 2:18Speaker 7: No, you know, I have never met that. Actually, and
- 2:23Speaker 7: I grew up in an Oregon I'm a North Eugene Highlander.
- 2:25Speaker 7: Let's go proud Highlander. And uh, it's quite ironic. I
- 2:31Speaker 7: spent most of my summers in high school living in
- 2:34Speaker 7: Portland because that's where all my AAU, all the AAU
- 2:38Speaker 7: basketball was when I was trying to get a scholarship
- 2:41Speaker 7: somewhere and yet play and it was all in the
- 2:42Speaker 7: Oregon City area, in the Portland area. So I have
- 2:45Speaker 7: friends that I reached out to. I'm like, can I
- 2:46Speaker 7: bunk up with you again in the summertime like the
- 2:49Speaker 7: old days. But the one of the directors, Kimberly Veal,
- 2:55Speaker 7: used to work for the Seattle Storm. I know her,
- 2:58Speaker 7: which is my only con tact early with the organization.
- 3:03Speaker 7: But you know, they needed somebody to do play by play,
- 3:06Speaker 7: and I said, I want to do it. So here
- 3:08Speaker 7: we are.
- 3:09Speaker 6: Alice Woodward is with us, And yes, you were on
- 3:11Speaker 6: the Storm broadcast for nineteen years.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Is that right? Nineteen years?
- 3:16Speaker 7: You know I lost count Okay, it's a lot. We'll
- 3:18Speaker 7: just say a while, but I think it's nineteen. Yeah
- 3:20Speaker 7: you saw I'm just gonna say, you know, somewhere around
- 3:24Speaker 7: two decades.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, you saw a lot.
- 3:26Speaker 6: You saw a lot, and now you are headed to
- 3:27Speaker 6: Portland to be the play by play TV person for
- 3:31Speaker 6: the new Portland Fire expansion team. I know a lot
- 3:34Speaker 6: of our listeners are going to wonder and I did
- 3:36Speaker 6: ask you this question, but I'll let you answer it
- 3:38Speaker 6: for them as well.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Does this mean she's not doing Husky Husky games anymore?
- 3:44Speaker 7: Yeah? No, the seasons do not overlap at all, which
- 3:47Speaker 7: is great. Yeah, the same exact schedule as what it
- 3:50Speaker 7: was with the Sallestorm. So now I will absolutely be
- 3:54Speaker 7: doing Husky football. Looking forward to the spring game in
- 3:56Speaker 7: a couple of weeks. So I've already been Kim Grinnold's
- 4:01Speaker 7: the wonderful Kim grindle who shot through today and He's like,
- 4:03Speaker 7: where you been to practice? And I'm like, I have
- 4:05Speaker 7: been at the Sweet sixteen, I are in the final four,
- 4:09Speaker 7: and I'm going to the expansion to the Draft. I've
- 4:13Speaker 7: not been a practice yet, but I'm gonna be there
- 4:15Speaker 7: next week. So looking forward to that.
- 4:17Speaker 6: At least when word with us and I do have
- 4:19Speaker 6: a question. Actually, you just brought up the Sweet sixteen
- 4:21Speaker 6: in the final four on the women's side, and seeing
- 4:24Speaker 6: the two matchups the Yukon South Carolina and how hyped
- 4:28Speaker 6: that was and then it was a blowout there for
- 4:30Speaker 6: South Carolina, and then seeing the finals go just a
- 4:33Speaker 6: blow out by Ucla. Do you think that basically that
- 4:37Speaker 6: Yukon South Carolina match was so hyped up that South
- 4:40Speaker 6: Carolina just kind of had been deflated by the time
- 4:42Speaker 6: they got to the final, or was Ucla just that
- 4:44Speaker 6: much of a better team.
- 4:46Speaker 7: I think it was a really good matchup for UCLA.
- 4:50Speaker 7: I think people because it's on the West Coast, I
- 4:53Speaker 7: think people slept on Ucla all year long. That makes
- 4:56Speaker 7: it could have very easily been the number one overall seed.
- 5:00Speaker 7: They were the number two overall seed. It's still top seed.
- 5:03Speaker 7: But I just they beat sixteen opponents this year ranked
- 5:07Speaker 7: in the top twenty five, and they blew them out
- 5:10Speaker 7: in the Big Ten. The Big Ten have twelve teams
- 5:14Speaker 7: on the women's side that made the NCAA Tournament, and
- 5:17Speaker 7: most of those advanced into the second round, including you
- 5:19Speaker 7: dub It was a galtlt It's the best of the
- 5:21Speaker 7: Big Ten has ever been that you were facing an
- 5:25Speaker 7: NCAA tournament team every single weekend and most nights. And
- 5:30Speaker 7: they not only did they go undefeated, they never had
- 5:33Speaker 7: one time where they slipped in Big Ten play, but
- 5:38Speaker 7: they rushed opponents. Their average marginal victor I think was
- 5:41Speaker 7: around twenty eight points. So it doesn't I think South
- 5:45Speaker 7: Carolina deservedly. So They've won three national championships under Don Staley.
- 5:50Speaker 7: They have a huge national name and recognition, and Don
- 5:53Speaker 7: Staley was the flag bear in the Olympics, and like
- 5:56Speaker 7: for all the reasons people know South Carolina and so
- 6:00Speaker 7: they have a, you know, just bigger name recognition. But
- 6:04Speaker 7: when I looked at the line came out Texas was
- 6:08Speaker 7: really good in the scaily loss for us AL season loss.
- 6:11Speaker 7: When the line came out that South Carolina was favored
- 6:14Speaker 7: by four and a half points over UCLA, I was like,
- 6:16Speaker 7: that is nuts to me. Yeah, the people just don't
- 6:20Speaker 7: know how good UCLA is, and they are really really good.
- 6:22Speaker 7: They're going to have five five players invited to the
- 6:26Speaker 7: WNBA Draft this week. It was it was a great team.
- 6:32Speaker 4: This is the familiar voice of at least what were
- 6:34Speaker 4: you hear on the sidelines that are a Husky broadcast
- 6:36Speaker 4: here in ninety three point three, Kids you are. She
- 6:38Speaker 4: is also longtime Storm broadcaster who was now moving to
- 6:42Speaker 4: Portland to be the Portland Fire expansion team's very first
- 6:45Speaker 4: inaugural season played by play on radio TV. I was
- 6:48Speaker 4: going to ask you something about the WNBA new labor
- 6:50Speaker 4: deal at least, but first I'm going to ask you
- 6:52Speaker 4: about college women's college basketball, the growth you've seen in
- 6:55Speaker 4: it in just the last five years, the Caitlin Clark
- 6:57Speaker 4: effect or whatever you want to call it, Angel Rey,
- 7:00Speaker 4: but the ratings for the television broadcast are like eightfold
- 7:04Speaker 4: over what they were a few years ago. What do
- 7:07Speaker 4: you think the tangible aside from nil in the transfer
- 7:11Speaker 4: portal and what that's done to college boards, but what
- 7:14Speaker 4: do you think the growth of women's college basketball, the
- 7:18Speaker 4: tangible effect of it on the court and then the programs,
- 7:21Speaker 4: what has it done.
- 7:25Speaker 7: Well? I think watching the growth the big thing for me,
- 7:29Speaker 7: and I was actually glad in the CBA that they
- 7:32Speaker 7: didn't address the fact that college basketball on the women's
- 7:36Speaker 7: side is a four year commitment most of the time.
- 7:39Speaker 7: And then the WNBA you cannot go to as an
- 7:43Speaker 7: American you cannot go to the WNBA unless you're already
- 7:48Speaker 7: twenty one years old in your senior season, or you
- 7:50Speaker 7: graduate from college, or your class is graduated from college.
- 7:54Speaker 7: So I think the reason for the popularity in the
- 7:57Speaker 7: rise is that I'm always so sad when there's great
- 8:00Speaker 7: athletes on the men's side and they're one and done.
- 8:02Speaker 7: You know, it's like I hardly knew you. You don't
- 8:05Speaker 7: even you don't even get a chance to grow with
- 8:07Speaker 7: them and to see them, you know, develop as people.
- 8:12Speaker 7: There's so many things that we love as fans as
- 8:14Speaker 7: a freshman and you say, oh my god, but wait
- 8:18Speaker 7: till next year. And on the women's side, we get that,
- 8:21Speaker 7: you get four and five and because of COVID, and
- 8:24Speaker 7: that's going to be gone now there's no more COVID kids.
- 8:27Speaker 7: It's six year players that you got to see. And
- 8:31Speaker 7: really that's how you so many fans fall in love
- 8:36Speaker 7: with players is watching them. Oh I knew you when
- 8:39Speaker 7: you were a little baby freshman. On the women's side,
- 8:43Speaker 7: you got to see that Dalen Clark was really good
- 8:46Speaker 7: as a freshman, but by the time she was a senior,
- 8:49Speaker 7: people had followed her for four years and they fell
- 8:52Speaker 7: in love with her and the growth and the past,
- 8:55Speaker 7: and you know, look at the UB women's program, and
- 8:58Speaker 7: you know, you look at somebody you know Ana Stein's
- 9:01Speaker 7: or Eldin or you know that group of seniors that
- 9:04Speaker 7: you they changed that program because they were there for
- 9:07Speaker 7: four years in a row and you got to fall
- 9:10Speaker 7: in love with their trajectory and what they can become
- 9:14Speaker 7: and all of those things. And so I think the
- 9:16Speaker 7: huge jump of popularity for the women there's a lot
- 9:19Speaker 7: of different reasons, but I think one of the major
- 9:23Speaker 7: ones for me is just that on the women's side,
- 9:26Speaker 7: you really get to know them. Fans want to feel
- 9:29Speaker 7: like they're a part of a process, and it's really
- 9:34Speaker 7: hard when it's one and done. It's really hard to
- 9:37Speaker 7: transfer portal. It's it's really hard when you just it's
- 9:40Speaker 7: you don't even get a chance to know their story
- 9:42Speaker 7: before they're gone. And so that's I think why the
- 9:47Speaker 7: women's in IL is important too. And for them, look,
- 9:50Speaker 7: they can think, look there's many transfers, there's people in
- 9:53Speaker 7: and out, and same thing on the women's side as
- 9:55Speaker 7: as the men's side, but at least the really top
- 9:58Speaker 7: level players, they're not leaving after one year, and so
- 10:01Speaker 7: you can really get in, you know, invested them in
- 10:05Speaker 7: more ways than one, and still really good about it.
- 10:08Speaker 4: That's a really good point. I had thought about the
- 10:10Speaker 4: difference and the women's sided leading into the WNBA and
- 10:14Speaker 4: speaking w NBA lease that seven year collective Barning Agreement
- 10:18Speaker 4: tenant of agreements still need to be ratified by the
- 10:19Speaker 4: Border of Governors settled this week. At least the agreement
- 10:22Speaker 4: between the league and its players union twenty percent revenue
- 10:25Speaker 4: sharing model, a five x increase in the salary cap
- 10:28Speaker 4: from one point five million to seven million per team
- 10:31Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, salaries going from two hundred and
- 10:34Speaker 4: seventy thousand up to one point four million, which is
- 10:36Speaker 4: a supermax now and chartered fights for teams things they've
- 10:40Speaker 4: been fighting for for a long time. What at least,
- 10:42Speaker 4: what would you love about the WNBA news labor deal
- 10:45Speaker 4: and what maybe don't you like in wish they had included.
- 10:51Speaker 7: I think they did a phenomenal job, and I'm ecstatic
- 10:54Speaker 7: that both sides understood that the importance of getting a
- 10:58Speaker 7: deal done and not striking. Looks like you know, we
- 11:01Speaker 7: were Greg, you and I were there when the NBA
- 11:05Speaker 7: went on strikes and how it affected everything in the
- 11:07Speaker 7: league after that. There was a negative call over the
- 11:11Speaker 7: product for a long time. And he had a guy
- 11:15Speaker 7: like Sean Kemp had put on, you know, thirty pounds
- 11:19Speaker 7: and then was never the same player after the strike
- 11:21Speaker 7: or the lockout or whatever it was. And we were
- 11:24Speaker 7: doing I remember we had a triple header. The Sonics
- 11:27Speaker 7: had a triple header, three games in a row to
- 11:29Speaker 7: fit all the games in the season. Anyway, nobody wanted that,
- 11:33Speaker 7: and it stopped the momentum at that time of the
- 11:38Speaker 7: NBA and the WNBA has such great momentum right now,
- 11:44Speaker 7: and I was just like, please, you guys figure it
- 11:46Speaker 7: out on both sides, right, it takes two to tango,
- 11:50Speaker 7: and so I think they both understood that there could
- 11:52Speaker 7: not be a workstoppage, and so I'm thrilled about that.
- 11:55Speaker 7: I think it's absolutely.
- 11:59Speaker 1: The league.
- 12:00Speaker 7: You know, you're negotiating, right, and so it was a
- 12:02Speaker 7: tough negotiation on both sides. But I am thrilled that
- 12:06Speaker 7: the players who are the best in the world at
- 12:09Speaker 7: what they do that are driving ratings, that are driving revenue.
- 12:13Speaker 7: The expansion franchises right now are going for a quarter
- 12:17Speaker 7: of a billion dollars. There's money to be made in
- 12:22Speaker 7: women's basketball, and I'm glad that the players who and
- 12:27Speaker 7: some of the ogs they didn't make anything at all.
- 12:32Speaker 7: And so it's like, I think they need to take
- 12:34Speaker 7: a point of pride that they're helping this next generation.
- 12:38Speaker 7: They didn't get the bag, but this generation is going
- 12:41Speaker 7: to get more of a bag. And I hope that
- 12:43Speaker 7: in ten years the next generation is going to get
- 12:46Speaker 7: double back. But these players, they've proved you have. It's
- 12:52Speaker 7: such a new league. It's just a baby league compared
- 12:55Speaker 7: to these other ones. I was there when it started
- 12:58Speaker 7: for the w I was there when the ad all folded, yes,
- 13:01Speaker 7: And so I do have some PTSD about when the
- 13:04Speaker 7: ab al folded in the Seattle Rain showan to Innis,
- 13:08Speaker 7: who was a young mom four days before Christmas, it
- 13:12Speaker 7: was like, sorry, we don't have the money to support
- 13:14Speaker 7: your league. You're out, you're unemployed. Four days before Christmas.
- 13:18Speaker 7: So I have that, like I have all these memories
- 13:20Speaker 7: of how hard it has been in the struggle to
- 13:23Speaker 7: have women's basketball players get paid to do what they do,
- 13:26Speaker 7: and now to get paid what they're worth is for
- 13:30Speaker 7: me amazing to look at the stands and see it's sold.
- 13:35Speaker 7: To have the people that care, and it takes time
- 13:38Speaker 7: to develop rivalries, and it takes time for fans to understand.
- 13:44Speaker 7: You know, you can't understand history when there's no history.
- 13:47Speaker 7: So now there's three decades of the WMA and it's
- 13:52Speaker 7: just growing and it's going to continue to grow, and
- 13:55Speaker 7: just watching it evolve before my eyes has just been
- 13:59Speaker 7: It's been one of the cool of things for me
- 14:01Speaker 7: possible because I feel like, in some little way, just
- 14:03Speaker 7: being a broadcaster that my whole goal and intention is
- 14:06Speaker 7: to help grow the game and tell the stories of
- 14:08Speaker 7: these great athletes and bring it to life. Why you
- 14:11Speaker 7: should care? Like, why should you care about this? There's
- 14:14Speaker 7: so many great stories in the WNBA, and so I'm
- 14:19Speaker 7: absolutely ecstatic that we're going to have a season. We're
- 14:22Speaker 7: going to go and the game is going to continue
- 14:24Speaker 7: to grow, and these women that are the best in
- 14:27Speaker 7: the world are going to get paid.
- 14:30Speaker 8: I love it.
- 14:31Speaker 6: Alice what Worth Woodworth is with Elise Woodward is with us.
- 14:34Speaker 6: I can't speak today. It's Friday. You can hear on
- 14:36Speaker 6: the Husky broadcast and soon to be on the voice
- 14:40Speaker 6: of the Portland Fire, the expansion team they're in Portland.
- 14:43Speaker 6: She will be leaving the Storm, which we are sad
- 14:45Speaker 6: to not have you on our broadcast anymore, but excited
- 14:48Speaker 6: for maybe a new rivalry there for the Storm and Portland,
- 14:51Speaker 6: because the old rivalry also might be coming back between
- 14:55Speaker 6: the Blazers and the Sonics.
- 14:57Speaker 2: How you're feeling about what's going on in the.
- 14:59Speaker 7: NBA, Oh, it's Kevin Collaborate, used to stay on the call.
- 15:03Speaker 7: It's the Montagues and the capurec a rivalry. Bring it on. So,
- 15:10Speaker 7: I mean, there used to be that Portland on the
- 15:13Speaker 7: w NBA side had a team for three years, and
- 15:16Speaker 7: I remember they would thus fans up and they'd get
- 15:19Speaker 7: off wearing they're red at the old Key Arena.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Oh god.
- 15:23Speaker 7: And you guys, we know how it is with the
- 15:25Speaker 7: Sounders and the Timbers, and we know what it was
- 15:27Speaker 7: like with the Blazers and the Sonics. It's it's what
- 15:31Speaker 7: we all want, right, we want that. And I was
- 15:34Speaker 7: I was thinking about the I five rivalry and other
- 15:38Speaker 7: than soccer, there's no there. It's only the Mariners. There's
- 15:42Speaker 7: no MLV franchise. It's only the Seahawks. There's no And
- 15:46Speaker 7: it used to be the NBA and that went away,
- 15:49Speaker 7: the w n b A that went away, and so
- 15:51Speaker 7: it's it's gonna be lit when it gets back for
- 15:56Speaker 7: the w n b A and the NBA, and that's
- 15:58Speaker 7: what it should be, right Like, that's what fuels people's passion.
- 16:02Speaker 7: It's it's you know, you can drive two hours and
- 16:06Speaker 7: forty five minutes or wherever you're at. It'spending on traffic,
- 16:09Speaker 7: and uh, you know, go catch the game.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I love it at least, which is also the sideline
- 16:14Speaker 4: reporter for Washington Husky's radio broadcast here in ninety three
- 16:18Speaker 4: point three KJRFM. She's done it for a long time.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about Jed fishing, but
- 16:23Speaker 4: you're still a company gal, so I'm sure you'll say
- 16:25Speaker 4: he's doing a great job and everything's great over there.
- 16:27Speaker 4: But I wanted to ask you a bigger macro picture
- 16:29Speaker 4: of you've watched college football? You know, I don't know
- 16:33Speaker 4: what company guy, I've been there. I used to work
- 16:37Speaker 4: for them, I did, But I'm.
- 16:38Speaker 7: Gonna ask you no more micro mac My honest opinion
- 16:41Speaker 7: on Jed Is that what you want you want me
- 16:43Speaker 7: to hear my honest opinion, Greg, I'll call you later
- 16:49Speaker 7: so I'll tell you, like watching for I am, he
- 16:53Speaker 7: has done an absolutely phenomenal job building that roster. It's
- 16:58Speaker 7: unbelievable what he was handed with the transfer portal issue,
- 17:02Speaker 7: like all of that, the loss room was absolutely decimated.
- 17:07Speaker 7: That guy can recruit, and I mean, it's unbelievable what
- 17:12Speaker 7: he has been able to turn. He's done a fantastic
- 17:14Speaker 7: job recruiting and and building a roster that is competitive.
- 17:19Speaker 7: And you know, I mean, I'm inside of for this year.
- 17:23Speaker 7: You know, it's year three.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 17:27Speaker 7: But I was going to ask you opinion grade.
- 17:30Speaker 4: I believe you, I know you long enough, I believe you.
- 17:33Speaker 4: But I was gonna ask you your mother and a
- 17:35Speaker 4: mother of student athletes, and what do you think of
- 17:38Speaker 4: college football in particular? Now? For me, I've been in
- 17:43Speaker 4: college football, have college athletes? Still I have a college athlete.
- 17:47Speaker 4: It just makes me sick. I'm all with four players
- 17:50Speaker 4: getting paid, but how they have no guardrails, and how
- 17:53Speaker 4: they're all waiting the presidents aren't stepping up, and they're waiting
- 17:55Speaker 4: on Congress to step in, which isn't going to happen.
- 17:58Speaker 4: From your view, which is front row and center during
- 18:00Speaker 4: Saturday games, what's your opinion about the state of college
- 18:04Speaker 4: football and how sustainable and sustainable this is and how
- 18:07Speaker 4: you'd like to change.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think it's sustainable. I think that there
- 18:13Speaker 7: are issues that it is the pendulum has swung way
- 18:18Speaker 7: to the other side, and it's not going to It's
- 18:21Speaker 7: not going to work as it's in the current state.
- 18:24Speaker 7: There's no question. I think, just like everything, there needs
- 18:28Speaker 7: to be a contract that is binding. And I one
- 18:31Speaker 7: hundred percent believe that players should have the ability to
- 18:37Speaker 7: leave one time, no question that you just don't know
- 18:43Speaker 7: what you don't know, And I think it gives the
- 18:46Speaker 7: athletes the ability like it's just not working. Why are
- 18:51Speaker 7: you going to force them to stay somewhere that they're
- 18:53Speaker 7: not happy? Why are you going to force them to stay?
- 18:55Speaker 7: Sometimes things just don't work right. You know how many
- 18:58Speaker 7: people have jumped into a relationship and you're like, oh god,
- 19:02Speaker 7: I thought that was marriage material. No that I'm gonna
- 19:04Speaker 7: you turn on that one. It's the same, like, you
- 19:07Speaker 7: just don't know. These are eighteen year old kids. They
- 19:08Speaker 7: don't know when they're one time. Absolutely, you should be
- 19:12Speaker 7: given the ability to leave and anytime it's a coaching change,
- 19:15Speaker 7: the ability to leave. But I think, like the I
- 19:19Speaker 7: call the game the other day, and on my board
- 19:21Speaker 7: in front of me, I always put like where you
- 19:23Speaker 7: know what year they are, where they've come from? You know,
- 19:26Speaker 7: do they transfer in there? It was their sixth school
- 19:30Speaker 7: in six years. Oh god, I didn't have the ability
- 19:34Speaker 7: on my boy. I was like, well, that's a new
- 19:36Speaker 7: one for me. It's ridiculous, like come on, but there
- 19:41Speaker 7: should My personal opinion is that you should be given
- 19:46Speaker 7: a one free transfer absolutely for nil deals. You should
- 19:51Speaker 7: be held to the contract. You should if you leave
- 19:54Speaker 7: before you signed, you know, like if it's a two
- 19:56Speaker 7: year deal, you don't get paid. If it's just there
- 19:59Speaker 7: has to be some uniformity with these athletes getting paid
- 20:03Speaker 7: across the board. And the problem is that there's no
- 20:06Speaker 7: commissioner for nca football. Everybody's playing by different rules and
- 20:12Speaker 7: that that's a problem. But you know, I think one
- 20:15Speaker 7: free transfer for sure, and then maybe there's some some
- 20:19Speaker 7: sort of a penalty. It's just it's so hard too
- 20:21Speaker 7: for these athletes. I can't imagine because it doesn't when
- 20:25Speaker 7: they're transferring. It doesn't like mesh with the academic calendar.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Ye I don't. I don't understand how they're doing that
- 20:37Speaker 7: all Like they're coming in mid semester and I don't know,
- 20:42Speaker 7: it's it's a wild, wild thing, but no, I think
- 20:47Speaker 7: the the players that are like holding their university's hostage
- 20:52Speaker 7: with the nil deals like that needs to go, Like
- 20:54Speaker 7: get paid, have a contract, just like everybody in a
- 20:58Speaker 7: working world does. Like there's a non compete, that's what
- 21:01Speaker 7: it's called. Like if you leave, great, you can get paid,
- 21:04Speaker 7: but you're not going to be able to play it
- 21:05Speaker 7: the next place. So I mean, there's things that need
- 21:08Speaker 7: to be put in place so that it's not it's
- 21:11Speaker 7: going to turn fans off. And that's what I don't
- 21:14Speaker 7: want to see is fans just being like, you know,
- 21:16Speaker 7: I can't follow this and it's not about the team.
- 21:22Speaker 7: I don't ever want it to feel like it's not
- 21:24Speaker 7: about supporting the university and playing for That's what college
- 21:28Speaker 7: sports is about. It's a huge thing. So that's my
- 21:32Speaker 7: concern is just I don't want fans to get turned
- 21:35Speaker 7: off and say, forget it. This isn't about you know,
- 21:38Speaker 7: it's not a collegiate feel anymore. And I think it's
- 21:40Speaker 7: trending that way, and so that's my major concern.
- 21:43Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like we've definitely started to get there
- 21:46Speaker 6: at least.
- 21:46Speaker 2: I appreciate you joining us today.
- 21:47Speaker 6: I wish we could talk to you because I knew
- 21:49Speaker 6: we were going to have a lot to talk to

- 23:23Speaker 6: Thank you so much for joining us. Congratulations on the
- 23:25Speaker 6: new gig. We are looking forward to seeing the Portland

- 23:32Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, thank you, Talk soon, yes, talk to you soon.
- 23:36Speaker 4: All right.
- 23:36Speaker 6: We are going to be back with how we're going
- 23:38Speaker 6: to fix the Mariners, which is very exciting for everybody.
- 23:40Speaker 6: I'm sure that is right after an update from Augusta.
- 23:51Speaker 6: It's Sports Radio ninety three three kJ R F m Ashley, Ryan,
- 23:55Speaker 6: Greg Bell, Travis Smoger in Chuck and Buck out for today.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Bucky dealing with some health issues as we mentioned this.
- 24:01Speaker 6: Week, Chuck getting a colonoscopy, so he will tell you
- 24:04Speaker 6: all about it, I'm sure and show you on Friday
- 24:07Speaker 6: or Monday.
- 24:07Speaker 2: You have that to look forward to. All right, this.
- 24:09Speaker 6: Segment we decided we are going to ask you how
- 24:12Speaker 6: you would fix the Mariners. We've been asking people to
- 24:14Speaker 6: text in all morning long. The four nine four or
- 24:16Speaker 6: five one the Tacoma Dodge text line the first one
- 24:19Speaker 6: I saw and now.
- 24:21Speaker 2: I just lost it. There we go. This is from
- 24:22Speaker 2: the two O six. No more pinch hitting.
- 24:25Speaker 6: Until everyone on the roster is hitting two thirty or better,
- 24:27Speaker 6: no one can get in a rhythm. Dom Kinzone should
- 24:29Speaker 6: not be part of a platoon platoon. Donovan should lead
- 24:32Speaker 6: off every day. Kenzone should be DH every day unless
- 24:35Speaker 6: Cal is off from catching, and Rayley and ref Snyder
- 24:38Speaker 6: should be the only platoon at right. But I repeat,
- 24:40Speaker 6: no pinch hitting based on bullpen subs, platoon based on yeah,
- 24:45Speaker 6: platoon based on starter, and leave them in all game.
- 24:49Speaker 8: There you go.
- 24:50Speaker 2: There's one option that is from as I said, the
- 24:53Speaker 2: two O six. There what do you think of that?
- 24:55Speaker 4: One field and third base?
- 24:57Speaker 6: No, not really doesn't help with any diff with any
- 24:59Speaker 6: d defensive issues, but some of the maybe they're taking
- 25:04Speaker 6: a baby steps approach. Right, You got to fix the
- 25:06Speaker 6: hitting there first. And I mean because even with the mistakes,
- 25:09Speaker 6: we aren't giving up a lot of runs, but we
- 25:10Speaker 6: aren't scoring any. So there you go, you fix the hitting,
- 25:13Speaker 6: and then maybe they think everything else fits falls into place.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Could put Brandon Donovan and right field, and he's played
- 25:18Speaker 4: their reform.
- 25:19Speaker 6: You could put Brendan Donovan in right I mean really,
- 25:21Speaker 6: I think the outfielding, I don't know. I'm not too
- 25:26Speaker 6: that would be kind of I feel like you could
- 25:27Speaker 6: put a number of people in there and you'd be Okay,
- 25:30Speaker 6: do you have any that you've seen that you like
- 25:31Speaker 6: over there? Let me just keep reading some keep reading.
- 25:35Speaker 4: These are for tickets, by the way, two pairs of
- 25:37Speaker 4: tickets to tonight's game, trash Cans against the Mariners. It's
- 25:40Speaker 4: meet Eachi ro statue.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yes, yes, each youro statue night to night. Yeah, we've
- 25:45Speaker 2: got four two.
- 25:46Speaker 4: Pairs of two tickets to stake here for the best
- 25:48Speaker 4: ones we've unearthed.
- 25:49Speaker 6: All right, this is from the four two five and
- 25:51Speaker 6: appropriate way to fix the Mariners is to add a
- 25:53Speaker 6: surefire bat to the lineup. Jerry d must fly out
- 25:56Speaker 6: to Minnesota and pursue Little Sweet himself, Kyler More.
- 26:00Speaker 2: He to sign with the Seattle Mariners.
- 26:02Speaker 6: Every time a Little Sweet comes up to the plate,
- 26:04Speaker 6: you can bet your kid's college fund on him batting
- 26:06Speaker 6: that ball. All the way to Chicago, and just like
- 26:08Speaker 6: old times, the ball ends up in former Seahawk Kobe
- 26:11Speaker 6: Bryant's arms. Home run step, every home run, every step
- 26:15Speaker 6: up at the plate.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Kiva Murray was a number one pick of the Oakland Athletics.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:20Speaker 6: Yeah, that's we've talked about, is if he could still
- 26:22Speaker 6: play baseball if he wanted to.
- 26:24Speaker 2: But he ended up in Minnesota.
- 26:25Speaker 4: He turned down guaranteed signing bonus of millions of dollars
- 26:28Speaker 4: and not getting beat up and not getting trashed in Arizona.
- 26:32Speaker 4: And of course he made two hundred and fifty million
- 26:33Speaker 4: dollars in Arizona.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't be too bad.
- 26:36Speaker 8: How bad?
- 26:37Speaker 6: Keith says, I would threaten kolonoscopies for every strikeout. Julio
- 26:40Speaker 6: gets three strikeouts, then Julio gets three colonoske.
- 26:43Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be a young guy, would be preventative
- 26:48Speaker 4: years old whatever he is now.
- 26:49Speaker 2: I like the threatening. I'm good with that.
- 26:52Speaker 4: That would be a thread.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Yeah, four to five.
- 26:55Speaker 6: The only way to fix the Mariners is to drive
- 26:57Speaker 6: to the University of Harvard.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Some would just call it Harvard, I think.
- 27:00Speaker 6: And demand they conclude the no uhsity. Yeah, that's not
- 27:04Speaker 6: gonna that's not gonna help there. Let's see how I
- 27:06Speaker 6: would fix the Mariners. Give our hitters guess the pitch
- 27:10Speaker 6: like in MLB the Show, and if they guess it right,
- 27:12Speaker 6: it's a no doubt bomb. Hold a contest for fans
- 27:15Speaker 6: to be manager for a night, shake things up, phone
- 27:17Speaker 6: a friend, except it's a Mariner's legend where they step
- 27:19Speaker 6: back on the field for a top and bottom of
- 27:22Speaker 6: an inning.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Those are some very creative ideas.
- 27:24Speaker 4: Man legend that would sell tickets, and I like, have
- 27:28Speaker 4: a fan be manager for the night.
- 27:30Speaker 8: That'd be really really excited.
- 27:32Speaker 6: Well, especially with all of the people who think that
- 27:35Speaker 6: I'm not saying that if Dan Wilson is a great
- 27:37Speaker 6: manager or not.
- 27:38Speaker 2: I know he makes a lot of mistakes.
- 27:39Speaker 6: I know I could not be a better manager than
- 27:41Speaker 6: what Dan Wilson is doing, so I take myself out
- 27:43Speaker 6: of that. But all there's a lot of people who
- 27:45Speaker 6: think they could absolutely.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Be a better manager than Dan Wilson. So let's put
- 27:48Speaker 2: it to the test.
- 27:50Speaker 8: I like that point where put your money where your
- 27:51Speaker 8: mouth is.
- 27:52Speaker 4: That's right, I think it was for sixty nine cent
- 27:56Speaker 4: beer night.
- 27:57Speaker 6: Yeah, that works too. I mean, you get the fans
- 27:59Speaker 6: all run up. I don't know how that helps the player. Yeah, fix,
- 28:04Speaker 6: let's see, I would fix the Mariners. This is two
- 28:06Speaker 6: five three. I would fix the Mariners by calling out
- 28:08Speaker 6: the middle of the order. The next time Dan Wilson
- 28:10Speaker 6: has asked why the team is off to a slow start,
- 28:11Speaker 6: he needs to say because the middle of the order
- 28:13Speaker 6: has been horrible and needs to be better. He is
- 28:15Speaker 6: being soft and the team is reflecting, and this is
- 28:18Speaker 6: reflecting on the team and their at bats and lack
- 28:20Speaker 6: of focus on the field. I would say I wouldn't
- 28:24Speaker 6: have a problem with him calling out the middle of
- 28:25Speaker 6: the order. But I also think the middle of the
- 28:27Speaker 6: order knows they've been terrible, so that's not anything new
- 28:29Speaker 6: for Dan to call them out. I think they all
- 28:31Speaker 6: know that they've been terrible and that they should be better.
- 28:34Speaker 6: That's not surprising to them to cal Naylor, I mean,
- 28:38Speaker 6: a Rose Raina hasn't been terrible in terms of getting
- 28:40Speaker 6: on base, no home runs. One home run between a Rose, Reina, Raley,
- 28:43Speaker 6: Julio and Naylor.
- 28:45Speaker 4: Major league baseball manager famous for not calling out their
- 28:48Speaker 4: own players, especially ones who were once prominent players themselves. Yeah,
- 28:52Speaker 4: that's just like a code.
- 28:53Speaker 2: They just don't like a hockey coach too. They're never
- 28:55Speaker 2: going to do it. They are never going to call
- 28:57Speaker 2: out their players.
- 28:57Speaker 4: Two five two a code we haven't North Carolina listener,
- 29:01Speaker 4: Oh the two five to two Project Giant live feeds
- 29:05Speaker 4: of Eachiro Suzuki everywhere in the clubhouse, on the jumpatront,
- 29:08Speaker 4: during a bats even in the batting cage. Strikeouts trigger
- 29:11Speaker 4: a ten second clip of Eachiro slaping a single up
- 29:13Speaker 4: the middle with his voiceover in the classic calm tone.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Small ball wins games.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got quite a few texts of small ball,
- 29:22Speaker 6: for sure. And that is an interesting thing because they've
- 29:25Speaker 6: talked about that they were going to play small ball,
- 29:27Speaker 6: but we just don't see it.
- 29:28Speaker 2: They don't swinging for the fences.
- 29:30Speaker 4: They play home run derby because chicks dive the long
- 29:32Speaker 4: ball and it's home runs and strikeouts.
- 29:34Speaker 8: And is Eacher going to be there tonight? Can we
- 29:37Speaker 8: put him in the lineup?
- 29:38Speaker 2: I'm sure he's ready there. Yeah, Griffy's going to be to.
- 29:42Speaker 8: Put them both in the line up. Maybe that'll help.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Let's try it. I don't see a problem with it.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Sign him to a new one day contract even though
- 29:47Speaker 2: they've both retired.
- 29:48Speaker 8: Why not.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Why not?
- 29:50Speaker 6: Okay, we're gonna finish on this one and then we will.
- 29:52Speaker 6: We will pick our winner in the break and announce
- 29:54Speaker 6: it at nine to forty five.
- 29:56Speaker 2: This one to fix the Mariners. This is from two
- 29:58Speaker 2: oh six.
- 29:58Speaker 6: They need to mix up the lineup and bring back
- 30:00Speaker 6: bring up some young talent, possibly bring back each I
- 30:03Speaker 6: Row and Griffy for the year. Also threaten them with
- 30:05Speaker 6: Chuck being at every game in a cheerleading outfit. If
- 30:08Speaker 6: they lose. Wow, that's a big threat. He's going to
- 30:11Speaker 6: be showing off after that kolonoscopy. So just yeah, just
- 30:15Speaker 6: get ready. Okay, Well, we've got some great ones, We've
- 30:17Speaker 6: got some good options. We will discuss. We will come
- 30:19Speaker 6: back with a winner and kind of booze news. Next,
- 30:23Speaker 6: it's Sports Radio ninety three three kJ RFM. Sports Radio
- 30:40Speaker 6: ninety three three kJ r F m Ashley, Ryan, Greg Bell,

- 31:02Speaker 6: say this is we're.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Just we're replacing booze news. I'm not actually like doing
- 31:06Speaker 2: booze news.
- 31:06Speaker 6: We're just drinking while we award Mariners tickets. So this
- 31:11Speaker 6: is what we're drinking. It's Yellowstone Cocktails old Fashioned. It's
- 31:16Speaker 6: a pre mixed cocktail.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Made with bourbon bitters and blood orange natural flavors. I
- 31:22Speaker 2: try it here.
- 31:22Speaker 4: I can't remember the last time I had an old
- 31:24Speaker 4: Fashion at nine in the morning. Oh, it's pretty ever
- 31:27Speaker 4: like the coug at the coop, don't they don't make
- 31:29Speaker 4: old fashions at the coup.
- 31:30Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Not gonna lie get used to that.
- 31:36Speaker 6: Okay, So we've got two pairs of tickets Tonight's Mariners
- 31:39Speaker 6: game the Echi ro Statue Night, and we are we
- 31:43Speaker 6: ask people to text in all day, all show long,
- 31:45Speaker 6: telling us what they would do to fix the Mariners.
- 31:47Speaker 6: So our first winner is gonna go to two o six.
- 31:51Speaker 6: No more pinch hitting. Until everyone on the roster is
- 31:53Speaker 6: hitting two thirty or better, no one can get in
- 31:55Speaker 6: a rhythm. Dom Cain Zone should not be part of
- 31:57Speaker 6: a platoon.
- 31:58Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 31:59Speaker 6: Every time I read it, them say it weird Donovan
- 32:01Speaker 6: should lead off every day.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Kim zone should be.
- 32:03Speaker 6: D H every day unless cal is coming off from catching,
- 32:06Speaker 6: or less cal is off from catching. Raleyan refsinators should
- 32:09Speaker 6: be the only platoon at right and I repeat, no
- 32:12Speaker 6: pinch hitting based on bullpen subs, platoon based on starter,
- 32:17Speaker 6: and leave them all in or leave them.
- 32:19Speaker 2: In all game.
- 32:20Speaker 6: There you go, Congratulations, you have won the first pair
- 32:22Speaker 6: of tickets. Yeah, to the Mariners some of those.
- 32:25Speaker 4: Things that makes sense about, especially the pinch hitting thing,
- 32:28Speaker 4: because they are so wedded to lefty righty.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Yes, oh, they overthink it all the time.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Oh gosh, it's like their eyes. They don't trust the
- 32:36Speaker 4: eyes that they've watched the bat bets in the game.
- 32:40Speaker 6: I mean, all these guys grew up playing baseball against
- 32:43Speaker 6: left and right handed pitchers. They didn't only play in
- 32:45Speaker 6: high school because there was a right handed pitcher.
- 32:48Speaker 2: It didn't happen.
- 32:49Speaker 4: And the opponents know it. And there are times during
- 32:51Speaker 4: Mariner games that they switch pitchers just to get a
- 32:54Speaker 4: batter out of the lineup because they know that Wilson
- 32:56Speaker 4: is going to come in and change the go to
- 32:58Speaker 4: the opposite handed beat. Yeah, they that was the best
- 33:03Speaker 4: part of that that I liked.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Yeah, so if two tickets on us, there you go.
- 33:07Speaker 6: So send us a text with your name and well,
- 33:11Speaker 6: I've got your phone number and an email address, and
- 33:13Speaker 6: we will get those tickets to you as a p
- 33:16Speaker 6: our second win.
- 33:17Speaker 4: We will cross check to make don't just everybody said no, we.
- 33:20Speaker 6: Know what number it came from. We can make sure
- 33:22Speaker 6: it was the same text. So yeah, nice try though.
- 33:25Speaker 6: Our next winner and this one my favorite text of
- 33:28Speaker 6: the day. This also from the two six. My twelve
- 33:31Speaker 6: year old daughter believes we should swap out the visiting
- 33:33Speaker 6: team's Big League chew with some laxative gum that she
- 33:36Speaker 6: is calling.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Big League pooh.
- 33:38Speaker 6: The batters will have to poop so bad they'll swing
- 33:40Speaker 6: it everything just to get back to the dugout. They'll
- 33:42Speaker 6: be trying to hit home runs, but instead they'll just
- 33:44Speaker 6: have the runs. That is from Aaron in Lakewood and
- 33:47Speaker 6: his daughter Juniper. Excellent job, Juniper, that's my winning plan.
- 33:51Speaker 6: I think we need to get the big League Pooh
- 33:53Speaker 6: to the Astros.
- 33:53Speaker 8: Right now, what flavors do they have?
- 33:56Speaker 6: That's a great question, I'll ask ye evident right now, Yeah,
- 34:00Speaker 6: he probably knows.
- 34:01Speaker 4: I think Juniper's dad has two he.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Does, yes, because Una also had an idea.
- 34:06Speaker 4: So you've got a choice to make, sir.
- 34:08Speaker 2: I know, yeah, you do, he does.
- 34:09Speaker 4: He could just put both girl girls on the light
- 34:11Speaker 4: rail and get him to the game.
- 34:12Speaker 6: There he goes, find other people will watch Yeah, other
- 34:16Speaker 6: people will watch out for him. Aaron did send in
- 34:18Speaker 6: his daughter, UNA's idea as well, and since we gave
- 34:20Speaker 6: Juniper some love, we should give Una some love as well.
- 34:23Speaker 6: Her idea She hates the Astros, she said, which I
- 34:26Speaker 6: already love. She says, at a fifth base between first
- 34:29Speaker 6: and third, someplace the Astros are too stupid to realize
- 34:31Speaker 6: it and will be less likely to score. Then JP
- 34:34Speaker 6: can discreetly grab that base when they come back to
- 34:36Speaker 6: the dugout between innings.
- 34:39Speaker 2: There you go.
- 34:39Speaker 8: I love these I love these girls, right.
- 34:41Speaker 2: I know. Who knew that twelve year olds were going
- 34:44Speaker 2: to fix baseball?
- 34:44Speaker 4: We just created a problem for Pops.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Though, Yeah we did. And I apologize.
- 34:49Speaker 6: If I had an extra ticket, i'd give it to
- 34:50Speaker 6: you so you could take them both.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I don't. So it's gonna be like Sophie's choice for him.
- 34:54Speaker 6: He's got to figure out which kiddo to take to
- 34:56Speaker 6: the game and I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but thank you
- 34:59Speaker 6: to everybody who ideas today. That was really fun and
- 35:02Speaker 6: there were some very there were some great ideas, like
- 35:04Speaker 6: actual good ideas.
- 35:05Speaker 4: We get a couple hundred texts, Yeah, how about this?
- 35:08Speaker 6: Yeah, people have a lot to say about the Mariners
- 35:09Speaker 6: and that's not surprising. Hopefully they can improve on this
- 35:12Speaker 6: four and ninth start and at least I don't even
- 35:14Speaker 6: want to say split the series because I want to.
