  Speaker 1: We'll get to Josh Nayale in a second. Alex Spring's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: going to join us pot on the hour. The Coog's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: going to try to upset James Madison on Saturday. Jess
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: is going back east for a long trip, and hopefully
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Cougs can do that and then ruin their hopes
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and make it easy for the College Football Playoff Committee.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We want it to be easy for them, but they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: want so. James Madison's in the Sun Belt. Nobody thinks
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that they deserve to be in the College Football Playoff,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: but their record may say otherwise. If they beat Wazoo,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and if they beat Wazoo handily, which Ole mist did
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and Virginia didn't, that might look good on the resume.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to Brink about a little bit about that,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: mostly about the change. Well, there's a lot of stuff
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: out there, man, a lot of stuff out there, the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: whole the world of college football again just as evolving.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We'll have Mandela on tomorrow for a full segment. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: can't wait to talk to him because the whole private
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: equity stuff out of the Big ten. I don't know
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: if you guys saw any of that stuff. They basically
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: there were tears to the whole, to the whole system.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That the reports where there were tears and like there
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was there's a a first tier, a second tier, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a third tier. And you know, the first tier was
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. They're gonna get the most
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: amount of money of private equity. The second tier was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just Oregon and USC. The third tier was everybody else.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody else, which includes Washington.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Uh like crazy, like I Washington Rutgers, Well, here's in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the same tier.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Here. Here's the thing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'll be the first guy to want to bash them,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: like a hundred percent, like I'm in the I'm in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the front of the line if if there's a shot
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to be taken, I'm there. Much of the chagrin of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: our PD and other people since were the flagship, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: get that this is the Seattle market. Man, Like I don't.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to Vandell about tomorrow. I think this really,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Like so wait a second, help me out here. The
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: number twelve television market that's that is in the same
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: tier as Rutgers. What like that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Makes a seventy six thousand seat stadium. Look at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: TV ratings.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense. But you know what, that's not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: my fight, it's their fight. But we're gonna talk. I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: bring that up because I'm talking to bring at the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: butt on the hour was who's got his own problems,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. New athletic director. At some point
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about what they what they need
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to do there. Uh, Jimmy Rodgers really key on retention
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this off season, but they need money and maybe the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: new ad, whoever that person is, can figure that out
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: along the way. We'll get to that coming up, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: then a quick daily power playbe for turned over to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Softy and again Wilner is going to join them at three.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll hit on that private equity stuff with
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the Big ten. By the way, I'd give you that keyword.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It's the Tailgates and Touchdowns talkback contest that's right sponsored
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: by Tito's Handmade Vodka. So go again to the iHeartRadio

• 2:42
  Speaker 1: do is do that right now. Big thanks for our
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: friends at Tito's. Okay, like everything in hockey, think so

  Speaker 1: over this. I am so far ahead of the game.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's scary. I'm frightened.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Terrifying should be because it never happens.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to this. I wanted.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: We don't played press conferences here a lot. We're only
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: going to play a few minutes here today. But I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: think it bears mentioning and we'll react on the other side.

• 3:23
  Speaker 1: down at T Mobile Park to announce officially announce the

• 3:50
  Speaker 5: like you don't have to do anything for me, man,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Let's just chat. And he doesn't like doing phone interviews.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: For him to be so open in the public, it
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: was so lovely to just see the gratitude that he
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: showed to the team, the city, the fans, his agent
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: who is kind of off the grid, nobody really, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: like it's not even mortulable. Yeah, and that and his family,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: his new baby were there. They had two rows saved
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: for his family to be there. The Mariners took care
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: of him, and he wants to be here. So let's
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: listen to it, and you can hear it from the
• 4:28

  Speaker 6: I mean, brought back a lot of memories as a kid,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: my dad kach us when they were younger. So brought
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: back those memories of playing on a field in our
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: hometown and you know, trying to win a ball game
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: with your little ten year old friends around the corner.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: And then I brought back some memories of playing amateur
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: baseball with the an Terry Blue Jays, who I was
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: fortunate to play with in the national team. I got
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: to travel around the world with them before you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I entered pro Bowl, So just a lot of nostalgia,
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: kind of a lot of those little young memories and
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: to get me to this point today. I always tell
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: players or even like little kids I work with in
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: the offseason sometimes like play for the kid inside, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: play for that little ten, twelve, eleven year old whoever like,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: however old you want to set that number up, but
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: play for that kid, and always remind that kid that
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: you know, it's just a game and you're here to
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: have fun. You're here to play hard and here to compete, but.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It's just a game.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: It's that little kids game at the end of the day.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So I always try to talk to.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Like my inner kid in me and remind myself that
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: it is just a game and I'm here to have fun,
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: work hard, be a great teammate, god willing win the
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: game at the end of the day, you knowing sometimes
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: you're going to lose, but it's all about the little
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: kid inside you. So sign of that contract really brought
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: me back to those days where my dad coached me,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: where me and my brothers would train at you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: facility together and then playing with some friends I had
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: back in the day. Uh, who are still my friends now?
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: And it's just yeah, brought back a lot of cool.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: Memories and free agency has only been open for such
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: a short amount of time.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Me the first made the pre agents to sign this
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: off sea and the cow much of those seeds if
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: you desire to come back, through the front office desire
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: to bring you back.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And just how quickly that all came together.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: This you, I mean, I really enjoyed every single moment
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I was here, from the players to the head office
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: of the coaching staff, to the rest of the you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: the staff, the kitchen crew and they the clubhouse managers
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: and they they was just everything was so awesome. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: had such a blast being a part of everything, getting
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: to know players on and off the field, and uh
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: just competing with them. Obviously we fell a little bit short,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: but you know, I can't wait to run it back
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: with them because they deserve this, the city deserves it,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: each of the each player's family deserves it. I can't
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: express how much fun I had on this team. It
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: was unbelievable, like tears of joy kind of unbelievable. And yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: I just I love competing and competing with this organization
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: was probably one of my favorites I've ever had in
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: my career. So I'm very very blessed. I played with
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: some really, really great teams. I was fortunate enough to
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: play with my brother. That was probably the best thing ever,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: you know, being able to play with your brother and
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: then coming here it was uh kind of a WorldWind
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: of a year so other in Arizona and then ended
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: up getting traded, and getting traded is not easy at
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: time to you're gonna move stuff around. I gotta worry
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: about family and stuff. But they just accepted me right
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: away to help me in every single way they they could.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: Teammates embraced me right away, fans embraced me right away,
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: and you know, at the end of the day, they
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: deserve that that world series that we're shooting for here,
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: and I I can't thanks to the fans and not
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: first recording me as much as they do. I love
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: them and I hope they love me, and I just
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: go out there and compete for them every single night,
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: and you know, God will and bring a world series
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: this city.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Well, there's such a thing as winning a press conference,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and then there's such a thing as just Mike drop
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: walk away.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: It's like a Grand Slam.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: That's what that was, And that's only four and a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: half minutes of Josh Naylor from the conversation of you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: enjoying playing the game of baseball like you're a kid
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: again to talking about the city, the community, the clubhouse,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the teammates, and I think, you know, the thing with
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Naylor is, you know, we've talked about this on the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: show a lot where there's Molly what mondays are just
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: on our show that with the three of us, like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: he quickly became a fan favorite because of the compete
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: level and a sport that, frankly, at times you wonder
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is there really I mean, is everyone playing hard?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Is it? You know, the NBA is the worst for that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Obviously, guys taking days off, But baseball it's always kind
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of had a reputation dudes, you know, sometimes a little
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: soft and this and that this dude would like get
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many times they run into a guy
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and ers at first base like he didn't care, like
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and he just played.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: With this this attitude.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I think he became my favorite player when I heard
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: him say, you know, somebody asked him, hey, why aren't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you talking to guys at first base like every other
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: first basement and playing grab ass.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: He goes, I'm competing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care, like I'm not there to make friends, Like,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: This guy is such a throwback it's unbelievable.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Like he is an absolute how he wears his uniform,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he's a massive throwback.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Mark asked me earlier in the cross sock, you know, like,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: is it a win? And I said yeah, I said,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I still want to see more from this. I'm not
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to give a pass one hundred percent to the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: ownership until we see what the rest of the.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Offseason looks like.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, but this is a massive win. Part of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: reason it's the massive win is because he wanted to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: come back, Like and so you created something here. Whether
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it's Dan Wilson, Depoto Hollander whatever. I think it's the clubhouse.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's the guys in that clubhouse. I think
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it's you know, obviously they accepted him. He talked about that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He came in right away, felt accepted. And you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: whoever setting the tone, whether it's Cal Julio combination thereof JP,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: whatever it might be, they set a tone and the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: guy went and they brought him in and he fit
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: from the second like a perfectly fitting glove.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: The guy fit.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And I heard somebody on the text line earlier say
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: something about the dropoffer. His numbers between Arizona and Seattle
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: last year were almost identical. Nine batting average, opp on
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: base percentage three sixty three forty one, slugging four forty
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: seven ninety ops eight oh seven eight thirty one ops
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: plus one twenty three one thirty eight.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: They were I mean, like.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: There's a drop off. He came here and flourished and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: did what he did. And I think Shehan said it
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Crawford said it yesterday that he's not
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be a thirty five to forty home run guy,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: but he is gonna be a guy that's gonna give
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you get on base. He's not gonna strike out. He's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: gonna hit the ball in the gaps, he's gonna get
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on the break, he's gonna do He does good things
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: on the base, one notable exception in the playoffs, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he plays at least a decent first base.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: He's everything you want.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he's great in the clubhouse,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: is a great teammate, and he wants to be here. Okay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent, we're all in on this guy. We
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are all in on this guy for an organization that's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: had a lot of stumbles along the way and a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: lot of missteps. In terms of the eyes of the public.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: This is a win. This is a big, big win.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And then you listen to a guy and how refreshing
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is it to hear a guy that's not worried about
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the stupid marine layer or the weather or what have you.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: He just wants he's happy to be here. And yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: there's ninety two point five million reasons he would have
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: got that anywhere, Like he would have got that elsewhere.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: He wants to be here, and he wants to win
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a title. If you're a matter of fan, you gotta
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be thrilled. Andrews and then Jess real quick, some quick
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: thoughts before we wrap things up here.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's there's so many reasons why taking
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: a kind of a couple steps back where I can just
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: be like, this makes too much sense for this for
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: this to happen. Because the Marriagers have no other options
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: at first base. Yea, they traded away what would have
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: been their one option for Gino Suarez last year. I mean,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: he's twenty eight he's not like incredibly on the aging
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: side of things. He came in and was successful here,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: he had the big moments in the playoffs. He wants
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: to be here. He says, he likes hitting in T
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Mobile Park. He's an important clubhouse pit figure, and the
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: money is doable. It doesn't there's just too many reasons
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: for this not to happen. But me and the Mariner
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: cynic that I am, I had almost this expectation in
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: my head, like, Oh, they're going to fumble this, aren't
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: they It almost felt like they were going to. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the fact that they were able to kind of exercise
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: those thoughts as early in the off season as they
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: did tells me almost as much about actually signing Josh Naylor.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: It's more about the timing of it that tells me, Oh,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: this actually was a priority to them. They could have
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: easily tried to squeeze out every cent, every dollar that
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: they possibly could to try and get the best deal,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: but they were like, no, we feel like the value
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that you think you are matches with the value that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: we think you are, and we don't want you to
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: go anywhere else and have any sort of thought that
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: we don't want you here. So I'm happy they did it,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: and I hope it's not the end, all right, jess.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Well, one of the things that we couldn't hear in
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: that clip that we've played because the press conference was
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: kind of long, It was Justin Hollander saying that he
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: and Jerry, by the way they described in detail when
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: they went to visit Josh and his family and got
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: to meet with all of them, is that they almost
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: missed their plane because they were talking ball for so
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: long and what they see as the future of this
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Mariners organization. And I just love to hear it like
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: they had to scramble, but he said, we could have
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: talked for this is Justin Hollander said, we could have
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: talked for another twelve hours. That means that not only
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: does Josh Naylor believe in this team and have so
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: many things to contribute, that those guys were so enthralled
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: that they literally almost missed their plane because they were
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: so excited to.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Be talking to him.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: So that, in my mind, speaks to the leadership role
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: that he can have in that clubhouse and also the
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: relationship he has with the front office. He is like
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: a five tool player when it comes to assets. He
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: provides the organization. So I just loved it. And he
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: was so happy, just purely gracious.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: And almost like a different energy that I was watching
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: some clips it like it almost felt like last year.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: He was so focused and zoned in, and I saw
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: more smiles and like kind of almost like a weight.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Had been like a relief. Yes, yeah, well.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: He was literally.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Baseball is the worst for players to get to free agency. Yes,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: takes forever to get there. And energy mentioned he's twenty eight.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Like any other sport, you're a free agent, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: if you come into the league, get twenty one or
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: so you're you're a.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Free agent twenty five.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like like or if nothing else, your
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: first round pick in the NFL and you get your
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: option rolled over and you're still making you know, well
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: into eight figures.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: If you're a hockey.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: If you're a hockey player, after your first three years,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, your entry level contract boom, then all of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a sudden you can send that right that second sign,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that second contract. Baseball you have to wait forever. So
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this dude was playing for a for life changing generation
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: money this year too, and with a new family, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he got it and and and he got it in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a place he wants to be. I'm I mean, I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just think this is in a year in which there
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: were a lot of wins for the baseball team on
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: There were wins.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Obviously, what Cal did, moments that were wins, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: whether it was Gina when the playoffs, Cal's sixty if
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: home run, all the all the wins that we saw
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: this season, this is right up there. This is right
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: up there because it's a bigger picture, longer term thing.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: This is right up there with the wins. This is
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: this is a big as big a win as they've
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: had all season long. And now we're the offseason, so
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to him. Is pretty damn cool. It was.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I was really like I said, we don't play a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: lot of news conferences, and Jess's like, we got to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: play this.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, yeah, thank you. He got it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Just so happy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I was just sitting in the front because you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: I have to record it. So I was sitting in
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the front row and just he was beaming. He was beaming,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: And I don't know how many fans out there we'll.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Get because you're sitting in the front because you are
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that person, You're the nerd. You sat in the front
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of your every class you had too, and we love
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you for that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Someone's got to sit in the front wall.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: And I got some of the best audio out there
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: because I did so well.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I will take my golden sticker.

• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we'll get We'll get with him next week. I want
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to get and Alex. We've been this a little bit
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: this year because of the kind of the strange nature
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of this season and this schedule and kind of the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: little gap year, so to speak, in the old PAC
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: twelve and the new PAC twelve next year, and some
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: bigger picture stuff. I'll get to football in a second.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I do want to quickly get a thought, probably a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: little bit strange last weekend. A lot of news, obviously
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: off the field. Anne McCoy no longer the athletic director
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: at Washington State. New president President Cantwell's come in and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: frankly has shaken think things up, not just in the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: athletic department but up in upper campus as well. There's
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: been a number of people that have been let go,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and frankly, nobody likes to see anybody lose a job.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know the people up top. I know Anne
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but I understand why the decisions were made.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: That's a different job these days, and you're around it
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: every week. It's a different job. It's a fundraising job.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: It's a job that has a lot to it. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: first of all, tip of the cap to Anne. I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: think you would agree she navigated some really tough times
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and waters. But onward and upward, as they say, Just
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: some thoughts from you on where we're at right now.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I an Anne joined Washington State in
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: two thousand and one, which is right before I got
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: to Washington State, and so I got to spend a
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: lot of time with her in the athletic department and
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: in her role working with athletes, and then obviously subsequently
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: over the years just in various capacities, and you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: and and and is all that is good about college athletics,
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: and she's all that you know, it's right about Washington State,
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: and and you know the way she cares about people
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: and the way she works, and you know, honestly, it's
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: you know, it is on a personal level, really sad
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: to you know, to see her go. And I mean,
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: Washington State should be very thankful for the role she
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: took on after Pat Chuen left to go to Washington
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: because washingt State was in a bad spot, right and
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: she studied the ship, she hired a football coach, a
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: darn good one at that, you know, And I think
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: those all those things are very important to remember. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: think your point about college athletics being different and the
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: role being different is very true. Uh, you know the
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: reality for Washington State, and President Cantwell said this, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: anytime you have new leadership that kind of has their
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: own an idea of the way they want things. You know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: you're going to see these types of things happen. But
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: you know, she said maybe what two weeks ago or
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: a week before, you know, letting Anne go was she
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: very clearly said we are the least funded in terms
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: of NIL school in the New pac twelve.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: And I think that was a shock to a lot
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: of people.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: And I was like, where's everybody been for the last
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: you know, four years, Like that should not be a
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: shock to anybody, but I think it was very you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: I think when people start thinking, like, wait, worse than
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: Utah State, worse than Fresno State, worse than Texas State,
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: you know that, Like I think everybody could kind of
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: rationalize maybe Boise in Oregon state. But when they heard
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: that it was you know, literally twelve out of twelve,
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: you know, as far as where the coups were, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: I think that shook a lot of people into reality.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: And so part of this conversation is who is the
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: next person that can kind of drive that initiative forward?
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: And look, we've had this conversation Lotti in right. You know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: you're kind of always like, well, how how can people
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: ask for money when you know when you're losing football
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: games orhere there's instability, or where there's no vision. Well,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: the hope now is that with President can Well, starting
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: with Upper Campus, I've been very outspoken on this right,
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: starting with Upper Campus, they align with what it takes
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: to be successful at at this level of collegiate athletics,
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: through the athletic department and ultimately down through all the
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: teams and then ultimately to the fans that can help support.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the Alex Prank joining us.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Listen, every president in the country has used the same
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: line that I've first actually heard from Elson Floyd, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that is, you know, the universe of the athletics or
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the front door of the university and especially college football.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: The reality is this year, the game I went to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and what I hear from people every week is not
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the on field product, not what Jimmy's doing, but everything
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: surrounding the.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Game, by experience, has been an absolute disaster.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Concessions getting into the building just I mean, it's been
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and you can't have that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I love the fact, I'm sorry it comes to the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: expensive it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that we have a president that's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: come in and said, listen, our admissions aren't good enough
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and we can't just take the hey man, it's a
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: tough time to get kids to go to school.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: We can't take that approach.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Nope, new admissions director, the communications in the upper campus
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and marketing and all that. Longtime employee gone. Well, it's good.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He's never answered a phone call in his life. This guy,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: this this this president is no nonsense. He's also in
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: FLOYDA in a lot of ways. It's the you know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I don't want if you say we can't do it,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: then we'll find somebody that can. Athletic director has to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. On the football field, Alex, Listen,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: big game this week with James Madison. Uh, they're trying
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to get to the college football playoff. I this is
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: what she'd probably pissed off Cougar fans when you hear
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that we're an underdog and trying to be an upset
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: thing to to that school. We were on college game
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: day just a few years ago. We were competing for
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Pac twelve championships just a few years ago. This is
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to me, this is kind of a big game, a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: kind of a statement game, not just for them, But
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I think for the Kuks very much so.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: And you know, I look, Washington State, I would say,
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: in the last four or five years, has been surviving
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: off the recognition of the logo, right of the cougar head. Right,
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: everybody knows the cougar head logo. Athletes, you know, fan
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: base is all that, they kind of know that, right,
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: and they know obviously the recent history of Mike Leach
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: and so, you know, but there's gonna become there's gonna
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: come a tipping point right where that's not gonna be enough. Right,
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: You're gonna have to win football games, and you're gonna
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: have to be in the forefront of these conversations kind
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: of like James Madison is, right, James Madison is forcing
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: the issue, right, North Texas is forcing the issue of
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: being in the national conversation. And you know, uh, this game,
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: these types of games are the games that you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: Washington State, this is how Boise statement a name for
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: themselves coming out of you know, the Mountain West and
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: the old whack, Right, they won games like this on
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: a national stage. And I think that's the approach for
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: you know, the Koobs here is you know, how can
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: you do that you had a couple opportunities versus ol
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: Miss and Virginia, and by all rights should have won
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: one out of two of those games for sure and
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: put your best foot forward, I think, in both of those.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: But you know, imagine now a win versus James Madison
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: on this stage, backed up by the performances you had previously, right,
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: And I think everybody can say, hey, like, this is
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: a product we can get behind, and this is a
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: team and a coaching staff that we can believe in.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with it, Box for a couple of moments.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I'll ask this question again next week with you and MK,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm hoping I'm asking it about the following. What
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: does it mean now that we are Bowl eligible but
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you have two chances to get to six wins? And
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: not every Bowl eligibility season is the same. There were
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: times in the past where Wazoo got in during the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: heyday of the Mike Leap chera, Hey, we're six and six.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Who cares like it doesn't matter? Like six and six
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is that's fine because the year before we were eight
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and four whatever it might have been, six and six
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: this year would be good, seven and five would be
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: even better. How important is it for for this coaching
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: staff to get to a bowl game.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's vital.
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: I mean there's you know, there's a there's a few
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: different layers. I mean the most obvious one is that
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: you know, you go to a bowl game, you get
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: extra time right to you know, you get extra time
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: to practice. With the way they adjusted the transfer portal
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: to kind of early January, you basically keep your athletes
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: in the building for something meaningful for an extra what
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: six weeks or so. I mean, so when it comes
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: to kind of re recruiting your players, I think it matters.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: And then just being on the nation, you know, being
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: able to be again in the national conversation, Like even
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: if it's a six win Bowl appearance, at the same time,
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: you're still being talked about, right, and so that matters
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: in the recruiting element, you know, with signing day early
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: December and then another one in February. So I think
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: that and then just all the change, seventy five new players,
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: new staff, new new coordinators, you know, new head coach,
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: all the things. You know, whether that storm and get
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: to six wins would be incredible. Imagine they get to seven.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: I mean, like we I think Koog fans would feel fantastic.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: So there's a lot of work to do, you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: but this team's shown when they put it together, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: this is at times probably frustrating it for fans, when
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: they put it together, they're a really good football team
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: in all three phases. It's just a magic matter of
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: getting all three phases going in.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: The right direction.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would agree, and I think that that's why it
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: is important to get there. The other thing is too,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Alex And I'll leave you with this, you know, listening
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to Jimmy yesterday in his news conference talking about retention,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the hard things of this team
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: for a while when the nil era started is what
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you make. You have really good players, you develop those players,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and then they leave this year, doesn't There's not that.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: There's not a John Mattier, there's not a Cam War,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: there's not a Strippling, there's not these types of guys. Necessarily,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: there's good, good football players. But he talked about retention.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You're around it. It feels like this staff has done
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a decent job or we'll do a decent job of
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: retention as well. And I think that's why that Bowl
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: game becomes even more important very much.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: So, I mean they do a really nice job, you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: I think building relationships with players right through kind of
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: honest conversations and very clear direction of hey, we you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: we want the best for you, so we need you
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: to do X, Y and Z, right, and then it's
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: kind of up to the player to meet that standard.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: And I think when the players meet that standard, then
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: they build a lot of trust with the staff, right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: And you know in this day and this day and
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: any college football and you're starting to see it right
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: Like the first few years, it was kind of like
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: everybody chasing the money because they wanted to go. They
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: wanted to get the payday, and they thought going to
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: the big logos with the paydays would matter in the end.
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: The same thing matters today as it did before NIO,
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: which is the biggest payday is getting to the NFL,
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: right and the biggest and then below that, the next
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: biggest pay day is showing that you can be productive
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: on the field throughout the duration of your career. And
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: what a lot of guys chasing the money or running
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: into is they end up in worse situations and are
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: less successful than they were at their previous stop and
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: it either hinders their NFL opportunity or it takes away
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: just from their general college experience because they're not getting
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: the same you know, not getting the same thing they
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: got at say, Washington State. And so I think you
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: can sell against that to some degree. You definitely need
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: to match it with some NIL help. But to your
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: point about retention, I think Jimmy Rodgers and staff have
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: a good model for this because they've had to do
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: it for the last ten years at South Dakota State.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, exactly, All right, let's we'll get it a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: final thought next week before the Oregon State game.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Quick thought on the new shoe company. Man, you got
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: going on right now?
• 28:45

• 28:51

• 28:55
  Speaker 8: you know, and they were the shoe brand that didn't
• 28:57
