  This is Swalacom senior Nava Egging and you're listening to the Welcome Preps Podcast with
• 0:04
  Tyler and Ryland roll Stone. Greetings, and welcome into the Wacome Preps podcast.
• 0:26
  This is episode one ninety one, a preview of a week two.
• 0:30
  I'm Ryland Spencer along with me as always Tyler Anderson of Welcome Preps. Tyler,
• 0:35
  how are we doing? Do it good? Ryland? How how are
• 0:38
  you doing well? I'm exhausted, but I'm powering through because we're going to
• 0:43
  talk some high school football. And yeah, I had a good day though,
• 0:47
  I had a good day. We had. We had, I would
• 0:49
  say, a decent practice today and I recorded a coaches show where they're head
• 0:53
  coach Tom Bainter. So it's fun to it's fun to get back into the
• 0:56
  rhythm. You know. I didn't want to get too far away from doing
• 0:58
  media stuff, but I also want to get away from traveling all over the
• 1:00
  state and doing all kinds of crazy stuff like I used to. So it's
• 1:03
  fun to be doing this. I'm glad that. I'm glad that when I
• 1:07
  decided to step away from the media stuff that you know, I decided I
• 1:11
  wanted to continue to walk on preps. So yeah, I had a lot
• 1:15
  of fun with that. Yeah. Hey, we need to give a thank
• 1:19
  you to Nava Egging of Squalicum for the intro. Tyler reminded me, did
• 1:23
  he win an award this week? He did? He won the Pets Real
• 1:29
  Estate Special Teams Player of the Week. Very very nice. Yeah, and
• 1:34
  so I mean that young man just electric. I mean he really is electric.
• 1:41
  We've got one two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 1:45
  eight nine games to talk about this week, Tyler, and one of
• 1:47
  them is a Thursday game. Now, as a matter of fact, normally
• 1:51
  this podcast would come out on Thursday. It would come out Thursday morning,
• 1:53
  and you would get it early on Thursday morning if you're a subscriber, So
• 2:00
  be sure to subscribe to the podcast. That being said, this is going
• 2:02
  to come out on Wednesday, Tyler, I don't know if I told you
• 2:05
  that. I'm gonna make this happen on Wednesday. So if you're a subscriber,
• 2:07
  you're gonna get it a day early this week because there is a Thursday
• 2:10
  game, it's Plaine at Sea Home. Tyler will be there and we'll talk
• 2:15
  about that game here in a minute. But one of the other things I
• 2:16
  want to talk about, Tyler, and we usually do this at the end
• 2:19
  of the podcast, so I want to bring it up now that being Tyler,
• 2:24
  how can people sponsor what come praps and the things that you're doing?
• 2:29
  For some reason, we always talk about it at the end, and I
• 2:30
  don't know why. So I want to give you the floor right now.
• 2:34
  How can people sponsor? Look, if I'm being honest, the easiest way
• 2:38
  to do it, figure out something you want to sponsor and reach out to
• 2:40
  Tyler on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whichever, send him a direct message,
• 2:45
  because then he can just go, hey, let's get in contact blah
• 2:46
  blah blah blah. But Tyler, if you want to give people other information,
• 2:51
  other avenues on how to get in a hold of you, what can
• 2:53
  they do and how should they go about it? Yeah, the best way
• 2:57
  is definitely on social media through Facebook, Stagram, or Twitter. Just look
• 3:00
  up walkom preps, simple as that, and then just send a direct message.
• 3:05
  You can send a direct message on all three of those platforms, or
• 3:08
  you could give me a phone call old school Baby rotary phone three six zero
• 3:14
  six eight four four three zero six. I have been taking calls recently on
• 3:17
  sponsorship info and people are excited, so you're gonna have some new ones coming
• 3:23
  on board pretty soon, excited to talk about those at some point. And
• 3:28
  you could sponsor anything from being the main sponsor of walk and Preps where you
• 3:31
  get tons of pub on the website and on the podcast, and then or
• 3:38
  you could sponsor a school where anytime it's you know, if you want to
• 3:40
  sponsor Linden, it could be any Linden story, whether it's football or volleyball
• 3:45
  or tennis or whatever, then your logo would be on there with a link
• 3:49
  going directly to your website. If you want to sponsor an award, you
• 3:53
  can do that with a graphic on the award. If you want to sponsor
• 3:55
  the scoreboard, if you want to sponsor the stat leaders, if you want
• 3:59
  to sponsor volleyball stuff, whatever, we could you know, we could talk
• 4:02
  about that. Set it all up and it's really quick and easy to do.
• 4:06
  And and the beautiful bart about it is this because this is now my
• 4:10
  full time job. This is this is it's a it's a thing that I'm
• 4:15
  rallying behind the community with and so it's people are showing love back and by
• 4:19
  you able to keep doing this. It's gonna allow me to keep doing this.
• 4:24
  So it's reciprocal, goes both ways, and it could be a lot
• 4:28
  of fun. Yeah, so just reach out to Tyler or Tyler how about
• 4:31
  this. What's what's an email address they can reach out to you at also,
• 4:34
  because some people might want to go that route. Sure, Yeah,
• 4:36
  it's it's a mister mohawk at hotmail dot com. So it's mister spelled out
• 4:42
  m I S T E R underscore mohawk m O h A w K at
• 4:47
  hotmail dot com. Yeah, on that underscore shift and the little button to
• 4:51
  the right of the old zero. That's right. Yeah, make it easy.
• 4:56
  So, yeah, if you would like to sponsor the show, sponsor
• 5:00
  anything. I mean, as of right now, we don't have a main
• 5:03
  sponsor for this show. Yer, you told me there are a couple of
• 5:08
  new sponsors coming in next week's review podcast. So we'll talk about those new
• 5:14
  sponsors when we have the players of the week for a couple of which ones?
• 5:18
  Is it? Dude, We don't need to give it all. What
• 5:20
  is it? It's offensive and defensive, is that what it is? Yeah?
• 5:23
  I think I'm pretty sure it's gonna be offensive and deep I haven't gotten
• 5:26
  the form back yet. Yeah, the forums, I should say back yet.
• 5:29
  But I'm pretty sure what we spoke about was going to be offensive and
• 5:31
  defensive player of the week for football. Yeah yeah, and you know what,
• 5:35
  there's what offensive defensive for volleyball. There are volleyball stat boards. Heck,
• 5:41
  you could sponsor Tyler. I would think one of the most and maybe
• 5:46
  we need to look at this. I think I would think one of the
• 5:47
  most shared, most looked at things is the Friday night scoreboard. I was
• 5:53
  just gonna say that, you're absolutely right. Yeah, it's it goes crazy
• 5:56
  once that thing gets put up. I try to put it up as soon
• 5:59
  as I hear the final score of the final game. And thank you so
• 6:02
  much for multiple parents that are out at games that are helping me out.
• 6:06
  I'm always trying to get a second source on scores because you just never really
• 6:11
  know. I don't want to reach out to coaches because they're you know,
• 6:14
  in the locker room, they're doing things, they're with kids, they're with
• 6:16
  media, they're doing stuff. So I have a bunch of parents that have
• 6:20
  helped me out. Once I get two scores from a parent that was at
• 6:24
  the same game, or you know, just score from two different parents that
• 6:28
  were at the same game and they match up. I feel pretty confident about
• 6:30
  it, especially with the ones I've been working with for a while, and
• 6:32
  then I just load those up and boom and you're absolutely right. It gets
• 6:36
  shared a ton, it gets viewed a ton. That's a great spot to
• 6:41
  get a weekly sponsor in. I mean, it's a it's huge spot.
• 6:44
  Guess what. There's a couple of walk and Preaps logos at the top.
• 6:46
  Pat tires some money, we'll take them off. Put your logo on there
• 6:49
  exactly, you know what I mean, absolutely, and it'll be in the
• 6:53
  post. So it'll say Thursday night scoreboard presented by your company. Here is
• 6:59
  what I And if you're on Facebook, if you're on Instagram, if you're
• 7:01
  on Twitter, then it'll be a link right there on that thing to bring
• 7:05
  up to your page. And I mean it's simple as that, yep.
• 7:09
  So if you would like more information on that, be sure to reach out
• 7:12
  to Tyler and he'll get you taken care of. Tyler. Let's get into
• 7:15
  the games here. Thursday night, Blaine oh and one at Sea Home one
• 7:19
  to oh seven pm a Civic Stadium in Bellingham. Uh yeah, I mean,
• 7:24
  first off, Tither, why don't you give me give me your kind
• 7:26
  of general thoughts, maybe a couple of things we're looking for in this game.
• 7:30
  Well, this one is uh, it's the only one that's Walcom County
• 7:32
  against Walcom County, So I love that it stands alone and it's that.
• 7:36
  So the double whammy always will mean that, you bet I'll be there,
• 7:41
  So I'm excited to be there for that. I you know, this one
• 7:45
  will be this This will be kind of cool because it's the two teams with
• 7:49
  new head coaches. They've both had, you know, a week under their
• 7:54
  belt now, but they're but they're both coaches that have been around a while.
• 7:58
  You got so you got coach Andy Olsen who's been coaching at Burlington in
• 8:01
  the past, so he's played Sea home the last few years. And another
• 8:05
  cool thing is that coach Brian Young. He you know, he was coaching
• 8:09
  at Squalakum for a while. He was he was a coach for the Bellingham
• 8:15
  Semi Pro team and so he was coaching at Civic Stadium for home games for
• 8:20
  both those teams. So so he's back at home coaching there too. So
• 8:24
  it's there's there's kind of some fun things with all of that. I really
• 8:28
  liked what Sea Home did as far as balancing. I think we all kind
• 8:33
  of looked at their roster and said, well, they're probably gonna throw it
• 8:35
  a ton. They ended up establishing the run quite a bit and did a
• 8:37
  pretty good job of that, so I could I want to see how they
• 8:41
  continue to do that, and if Blaine just doesn't shoot themselves in the foot
• 8:46
  early, then they can. You know. I'm really excited to kind of
• 8:50
  see things go that way. I really am curious about Blake Kereski, the
• 8:54
  middle linebacker of Blaine. I think he's a I think he's a really really
• 8:58
  good player and instinct to player. I want to see how he does if
• 9:01
  he's gonna kind of keep a spy on Nolan, right, if he's gonna
• 9:05
  kind of go wherever he goes. I'm really curious of how that defense is
• 9:07
  gonna combat the Sea Home offense. Tyler's got some nuggets, man, Now,
• 9:15
  Tyler, you told me you got a couple of nuggets, or you
• 9:16
  got some nuggets on this game here. I'm assuming Blaine See Home. It's
• 9:20
  got to be something team oriented and you want to know something, Tyler,
• 9:24
  I just thought of a great, great idea. What's that? Do you
• 9:26
  want a restaurant that has chicken nuggets? Sponsor? Tyler's got some nuggets?
• 9:31
  Man sponsor it? Tyler's Nuggets sponsored, Tyler's Nuggets with your chicken nuggets?
• 9:35
  Tyler, what are some nuggets you got Blaine see Home. Well, this
• 9:39
  is interesting because you know one, you know, one school's won A.
• 9:41
  One school's two A. But they've played twelve times in the past twenty years.
• 9:46
  So they've played quite a few times going back the last fifteen twenty years.
• 9:52
  In the first nine of them, the first nine matchups, Blaine won
• 9:56
  eight of them and but Sea Home was won the last three by a combined
• 10:01
  score of one hundred and thirty nine to thirty three and and Sola and so
• 10:07
  Sealom has kind of owned them the last three. And the funny thing about
• 10:09
  those last three games. I was at all three of those games, the
• 10:13
  one three years ago or the one not three years ago, but the first
• 10:16
  one of those three, it was the last week of the season. Seal
• 10:18
  Home put up sixty five points. It's a school record. And uh,
• 10:22
  and the crazy about that game is at the fourth quarter just started snowing hard,
• 10:28
  like out of nowhere, and there was some really cool plays and and
• 10:33
  uh that you know happened in the snow, and I just I have that
• 10:35
  memory so vivid in my head. The next year, I was there calling
• 10:39
  the game for the Doug Lane Network. Uh, same two teams. And
• 10:43
  then last year I was at the game out at Blaine High School and that
• 10:46
  was and which I think was on a Saturday, uh that that time.
• 10:50
  So so yeah, so I've been to those last three games and and uh,
• 10:54
  Sealim's kind of had the upper hand the last three games. Tyler's got
• 10:58
  some nuggets. Man, that's it though, just one just I mean,
• 11:01
  I guess it's more than one nugget. It's one real big one. It's
• 11:05
  like a it's you know what, if it was gold, we wouldn't have
• 11:09
  to be talking about sponsorships for walking preps. Yeah, you and I would
• 11:13
  both be sitting up and actually I don't know what would be doing, but
• 11:16
  we'd probably actually we'd probably be doing walcom preps. I was just gonna say,
• 11:20
  I can't imagine this being like, you know what, we could put
• 11:22
  our feet up now. I would probably be like, we're some good high
• 11:24
  school football at we you know, no, you know what we would do.
• 11:28
  We would have an RV and we would just like camp out in front
• 11:31
  of games, like that's what we would be doing. Actually, I'd have
• 11:33
  an RV because I'd be driving all around the state. You'd have a better
• 11:37
  car to get to and from your game because you wouldn't leave Walcom County.
• 11:39
  Still. I would hire like a like a media crew to be at all
• 11:45
  Walkom County games at all times. And then I and then that could send
• 11:48
  me stuff live and I would be basically doing like a walking count like walking
• 11:52
  preps prime time show where I'd do like the highlights like live like cut ins
• 11:58
  and this is what's going on. Oh man, that'd be awesome, you
• 12:01
  know, Tyler giving me an idea here, Oh you have an idea,
• 12:05
  Well, it's an idea. Remind me later we'll talk about this one.
• 12:07
  This isn't an on air idea. This is a this is an idea for
• 12:11
  something walking prep slats. Uh yeah, anyway, Blaine, Oh and one
• 12:15
  at Sea Home one at our seven pm on Thursday. You mentioned it's the
• 12:18
  only game in town. Tyler, I feel like this is one of those
• 12:20
  ones where so many kids on both teams, you know, no other guys.
• 12:24
  This is one of those ones where you might end up running into a
• 12:28
  lot of people that you know that are from other teams out there just watching.
• 12:31
  Huh. Most likely. Yeah, I mean I'll probably be on the
• 12:35
  visitings U sideline, which is what I usually do, especially for pictures you
• 12:39
  can get the big stands in the background stuff like that. Well, you
• 12:41
  stay away from the people. What's that I said? You like to stay
• 12:45
  away and the hide on the other side. Yeah, you know, I'm
• 12:50
  not gonna lie. I always went on the opposing sideline also, so but
• 12:54
  and actually, Tyler, I don't know if you do. You know why
• 12:56
  I used to do that. Do you know what My reasoning was? Where's
• 13:00
  where's the film at? Yeah, it's coming from the home side. Yes,
• 13:05
  So if there's anything controversial that happens on the other sideline, I'm there
• 13:09
  to see it live. If it happens on the home sideline, I can
• 13:13
  watch it on the film. That was always my thing, I thought,
• 13:16
  because you wanted to be on the film like your best side, you know.
• 13:18
  Well, I mean, if if they were going for ratings, they
• 13:22
  would want me on the other side. Actually, that's ratings nightmare. Yeah.
• 13:26
  Anyway, Thursday night, Blaine see home the only game in town.
• 13:28
  So everybody get out there and bug Tyler. Uh. Friday, there's a
• 13:33
  doubleheader at uh Civic Stadium. Wait, there's three games at Civic Stadium in
• 13:37
  two days. Tyler, you might as well just put up a cot.
• 13:41
  Uh Meadowdale want to know about Yeah, you want to borrow my RV?
• 13:46
  Yeah? Uh, Meadowdale want to know? At Bellingham own one five pm
• 13:52
  at Civic Stadium. Tyler, you're gonna be at this one? Uh.
• 13:54
  This is a game that was played last year also, and I believe Bellingham
• 13:58
  came away with the win last year. Correct, Yeah, fifteen to ten
• 14:01
  win. I believe something like that last year. And that game was at
• 14:03
  med Meadowdale. I love the I love the Meadowdale jerseys. They're just one
• 14:09
  of my favorites. That's the first time, the first thing I think I
• 14:11
  saw them live against Ferndale a few years ago. I just I was just
• 14:15
  love their I love their look. You know what I loved game. What
• 14:20
  I love about that too is I can get decent pictures. Once it starts
• 14:22
  getting dark, I can't get a clear picture to save my life. You
• 14:26
  basically have the first month of the season to get your five PM games in
• 14:30
  before before they started getting blurry. One of the things I love about Meadowdale
• 14:35
  and and this is what I realized, I don't know, a couple of
• 14:37
  years ago, that there's a certain color scheme that I like. And it's
• 14:43
  I don't know why. It's easy on the eyes. I think it's it's
• 14:46
  it's attractive if you will, right, it's that dark blue with light blue.
• 14:52
  Yeah, that is really good last year. Yeah, with the with
• 14:56
  the home jerseys, the dark blue jerseys with the with the baby blue numerals.
• 15:00
  And you remember how excited I was, number Remember I was. I
• 15:03
  was pretty excited when I when I saw that. You know, that's right,
• 15:05
  and it's I don't know what it is. I don't know why.
• 15:09
  You know, North Carolina does it, but they do it kind of in
• 15:11
  the opposite way. You know. It's it's the bright it's the what is
• 15:15
  it, tart heel blue or whatever they call I can't remember. But then
• 15:18
  the dark blue is is kind of the secondary color. But when you flip
• 15:22
  it the other way, I think it's just gorgeous. Yeah, I really
• 15:26
  do. I don't know why no Nuggets on this one, Tyler. No,
• 15:31
  no, Nuggets only got nuggets on three of the games. No,
• 15:35
  no, no. But I think that the thing about this game is is
• 15:37
  that, yeah, Bellingham got him last year and it was kind of a
• 15:41
  heartbreaking loss on Saturday, and so it's a quick turnaround and you're still at
• 15:46
  home, and they just have to I hope that the loss from last week
• 15:52
  doesn't, you know, detour their hopes, you know, you know what
• 15:56
  I mean, Like sometimes they can just avalanche like that. Yeah, And
• 16:00
  I don't think it will. I just they just have to know that that
• 16:03
  one's behind them. You move forward. It's a new game, new battle.
• 16:07
  Go at it, you know, Yeah, go down, smack those
• 16:10
  guys around a little bit. Uh Yeah. That's five pm Meadowdale, Bellingham
• 16:15
  Friday at Civic Stadium, Mount Baker ohen one they travel east to Lee Boffco
• 16:19
  Field at the at the Apple Bowl to take on the Wenatchee Panthers. They
• 16:25
  are Tyler one versus O one, six pm. This is a game.
• 16:30
  It seems like these two are playing each other a lot now, like this
• 16:32
  is like a season series. Are they did when actually become part of the
• 16:34
  Northwest conference and I didn't hear about it. I mean, what's going on
• 16:37
  here? Uh yeah, Now this is a game what was it two years
• 16:41
  ago? They played each other out there, and this is I believe the
• 16:44
  game where didn't Mount Baker have like five six fumbles or something like that.
• 16:48
  Yeah, there was a bat. There's a lot of center exchange center quarterback
• 16:52
  exchange snaps that were fumbled and I think there were like seven or eight of
• 16:56
  them that were fumbled and three of them were lost form lostthing like that.
• 17:00
  It was just tough and it was one of It was a crazy game.
• 17:02
  There was no offensive touchdowns in the whole game. The final score was ten
• 17:06
  zero. There was a pick six in the field Will Buy Winnachi and it
• 17:10
  just left a really sour taste to Coach Left's mouth. I know that,
• 17:14
  but it's you know, or maybe a tasted like a bag of lemons,
• 17:18
  I don't know, or or how about like a sour apple taste. Yeah,
• 17:26
  so yeah, apple, oh good? And I like that. But
• 17:30
  the last year they got them pretty good, Baker did, and they have
• 17:33
  you know, Baker goes to the Winnachi camp every year, so there is
• 17:38
  that bond that they have. They kind of know each other a little bit.
• 17:41
  Even though Natchie is a four A school, it's a game that they've
• 17:45
  been doing now for a little while. So, uh, this will be
• 17:49
  I think Baker's really really wanting to try to You're gonna want to rebound from
• 17:53
  last week. Uh, they put up yards. They just capitalizing at the
• 17:57
  end of at the end of dry and that's that's not usually what they do.
• 18:00
  Usually they can punch it in. So I think they're looking to uh
• 18:04
  kind of take it out on the Panthers a little bit, and they're gonna
• 18:08
  have to do it on the road after a lunch bus trip. So,
• 18:11
  Tyler, two years ago in this game ten nothing when actually when you mentioned
• 18:15
  lots of fumbles, lots of mistakes and it led to something huge. Do
• 18:19
  you remember, Yeah, putting Davin Beason at quarterback qbson became alive. Q.
• 18:27
  If they maybe don't pull it off, who's the lineman moving back to
• 18:32
  quarterback? Tyler, that's the big question here. You know what we'll find
• 18:34
  out next week's preview podcast if it happens. Uh. Now, mal Baker
• 18:40
  Own One heads to when actually Own one six pm Friday night over there at
• 18:44
  the Apple Bowl, leeboffco Field. Uh, let's see here, Ferndale one
• 18:48
  to Oh, they head down to Oak Harbor to take on the Wildcats own
• 18:51
  one seven pm at Wildcat Memorial Stadium in Oak Harbor. Uh, Tyler,
• 18:56
  this is I mean, these two teams have become pretty familiar with each other
• 18:59
  now that they are. I mean, it's it's a it's an every you
• 19:02
  know year thing now that Oak Harbor has been in three A for what a
• 19:04
  couple of seasons now if I remember correctly, because they were four A for
• 19:07
  quite a while. But yeah, I mean this is a this is a
• 19:11
  game that if you're Ferndale, you feel really good about Week one and now
• 19:15
  it's let's get right back up on the horse and let's go get them week
• 19:18
  two here. Yeah, this is You're absolutely right. They're feeling really really
• 19:22
  good. Uh, they're gonna go in the road. They're the first this
• 19:25
  is the first conference game for anybody in Walcom County. Just like last year
• 19:29
  it was right away week two. They're playing a conference game. Uh,
• 19:32
  so they're got to be. It's it's good timing for them coming off that
• 19:34
  win and going right into conference play. I think boats really well for them.
• 19:41
  Oh, Carper. You know, they've been young in the past,
• 19:44
  so this might be that year where they're kind of starting to, you know,
• 19:48
  reap the benefits of that. So uh, you know, they only
• 19:51
  lost by a couple of scores to an Accordis last week, and Accordis is
• 19:55
  supposed to be one of the top teams in the stay at the two A
• 19:56
  levels, so maybe they have something cooking a little bit down there at Oak
• 20:00
  Carb and you know, Ferndale going down there, it's uh, should be
• 20:06
  a pretty pretty good game. Uh. I don't want to say it's so
• 20:10
  weird because you know, you don't want to overreact from week one, and
• 20:15
  you don't want to it's hard to go into week one kind of with any
• 20:19
  preconceived notions either, and so it was just weird because I just kind of
• 20:25
  had a kind of a weird feeling about Ferndale going into week one for some
• 20:27
  reason. And now it's like, with the showing that they did, I
• 20:32
  have like all the confidence in the world about Ferndale going into week two,
• 20:36
  and it's like, I don't think I should be so low or so high.
• 20:40
  I should just try to keep it normal. But it's it's hard when
• 20:42
  you see a team live and you see what they did, and you see
• 20:45
  the coaching, uh staff just get into it. And they were they were
• 20:51
  coaching their tails off right there in week one. And when you see it
• 20:53
  up close and you're standing on their sidelines, Uh, it stands out in
• 20:57
  your head. So so I gotta say, I like the way that their
• 21:02
  their trajectory is right now and to go on the road and to be on
• 21:06
  a highlight that to go into conference play, I think is a huge deal
• 21:07
  for them. Tyler's got some nuggets, man, Tyler, How the heck
• 21:11
  do you have a nugget for Ferndale Oak Harbor. Well, like you mentioned,
• 21:17
  Uh, they've been kind of playing each other every every week now and
• 21:21
  they they're both in that in that West Coast North. Since Ferndale joined the
• 21:23
  West co North back into twenty sixteen, Golden Eagles have won six of the
• 21:29
  seven matchups over the Wildcats. There was that one year old Carbor had a
• 21:33
  really really strong year and I think they think their only loss might have been
• 21:37
  to Squalicum in conference play. So the but this this is kind of this
• 21:42
  is something. Uh. The last time that Ferndale played against Oak Harbor and
• 21:48
  failed to score a rushing touchdown. Okay, last time these two teams played
• 21:55
  and Ferndale failed to score a rushing touchdown was in nineteen seventy five. Ferndill
• 22:00
  won that game sixteen to six. And it's interesting. That's interesting. I
• 22:04
  mentioned that one because they used to be a conference opponent back then, and
• 22:10
  that was the last year before o'carbor was gone from the Northwest League back then,
• 22:17
  so in the sixties and seventies, and then at nineteen seventy six o'carbor
• 22:23
  was gone, and then they rejoined they played in the same conference again,
• 22:26
  but forty years later on the DOE. Okay, but wait a second.
• 22:30
  Here is this one of those stats where like Pacific Football didn't have football for
• 22:33
  like fifty years, and they're like undefeated since fifty four. No, like,
• 22:37
  did they continue to play each other every now and then? Right,
• 22:41
  No, they had not played each other for forty years, I mean nineteen
• 22:45
  seventy six and twenty sixteen. Oh my goodness. That is a heck of
• 22:49
  a gap there, which is which is interesting because those teams, you figure
• 22:52
  they would need some non conference games and they're not that far apart. So
• 22:56
  sure, wow, I mean, that's really saying something there, that's the
• 23:00
  heck of a gap between games, right and during and but before and after
• 23:03
  they played each other every single year they were in the same conference. Yeah,
• 23:07
  you know, it's either you your stat there though, it almost seemed
• 23:10
  like one of those like, uh, you know, oh, this guy
• 23:14
  leads the league in batting for teams that play their game in a dome north
• 23:18
  of the Mason Dixon line. Like, well, I was, I was
• 23:22
  nor really just looking at that big gap, and then I noticed that the
• 23:26
  last time they did play each other. One of the weird things about that
• 23:30
  game was Ferndale one without scoring a rushing touchdown. I mean that's and what
• 23:33
  was the score, sixteen to six? They scored sixteen points without scoring a
• 23:37
  touchdown a rushing touchdown? Yeah, oh rushing? Did they throw for a
• 23:41
  one? Yeah? Yeah? Oh well they never mind moving on, Tyler,
• 23:45
  I mean your stats now, you're like, this is totally a Mason
• 23:48
  Dixon line, like, you know, but only playing games without lights.
• 23:52
  Well yeah, up until win that was just the Chicago Cubs guy like Ferndale
• 23:59
  Adam the first night game actually was rained out. Oh was it really?
• 24:04
  Yeah, that's hilarious. Well, it was August eighth, nineteen eighty eight,
• 24:08
  because they always do the eight thing. Yeah, if I can remember
• 24:12
  right, correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe you don't know. So the
• 24:15
  first Major League, the first d h and in baseball history was the guy
• 24:19
  from the Yankees. Yeah, I can't remember his name. I have an
• 24:25
  autographed picture of him. I can't remember his name. But but if I
• 24:27
  remember right, didn't he walk and so it didn't actually count as an official
• 24:30
  app bat? I don't know about that. That's that's probably Ron Ron Bloomberg.
• 24:37
  Yeah, Ron Bloomberg, That's exactly who it was. Yeah, or
• 24:40
  either that or it was somebody else on a different team, and because he
• 24:45
  didn't get an official app bat, it became Ron Bloomberg. You know what
• 24:48
  I mean? It was, it was something I can't remember what it was,
• 24:51
  and maybe I'm wrong there, But and you know what, Tyler,
• 24:55
  since we're on the topic, why did the National League get rid of the
• 24:57
  picture hitting? What a stoopid It's stupid thing they ever did anyway. Ferndale
• 25:02
  at Oak Harbor one an OK Ferndale, oh and one OK Carber seven PM
• 25:06
  Wildcat Memorial Stadium in Oak Harbor. Tyler, Meridian like at their bust legs
• 25:11
  out Here we go boys. We're headed east to Shellan one and oh versus
• 25:15
  one and oh seven pm at Shellan. Uh. This is a rematch of
• 25:21
  a game last year that I think we all felt like, uh, Meridian
• 25:26
  was gonna get a win. If I remember right, they did not get
• 25:29
  a win. Correct, Yeah, it was it was You're right. It
• 25:32
  was one of those games where it was Meridians first home game of the year.
• 25:36
  They honored coach Ames, coach Bob Ames before the game, you know,
• 25:40
  because he retired kind of like during COVID and so they never got to
• 25:42
  really do a good sendoff. And I went to that pregame ceremony. It
• 25:48
  was awesome. I bought the T shirt, the Ames Legacy. It's a
• 25:52
  really really cool shirt and and you know, all the coaches were wearing Hawaiian
• 25:57
  shirts on the sideline and it was it's just crazy. And then it was
• 26:00
  like, oh, yeah, we got a football game and they just it
• 26:03
  just everything went wrong right off the bat, and so it was kind of
• 26:07
  a it's kind of a weird, crazy game. I think they lost like
• 26:10
  twenty four to eight, and if if you look at the rest of the
• 26:14
  season, it's like they were, you know, losing to teams that Meridian
• 26:18
  would have beaten, or like common opponents they should have been. So you
• 26:19
  kind of look back at it and said, Meridian really should have beat them,
• 26:25
  and so they're gonna have some revenge on their mind. I would imagine
• 26:29
  the ball was just not bouncing their way last year. But I tell you,
• 26:32
  Meridian looked really good. The offensive line was amazing that in that week,
• 26:37
  one jake or five standing back there with all the time in the world.
• 26:41
  I heard a little rumor that they all got a steak dinner from the
• 26:45
  family of the quarterback the offensive line did. Yeah, I know, it's
• 26:51
  right up your alley. If that d by stakes involved, I'd love to
• 26:53
  stop by. Who whoa hold on? You know what? You can't be
• 26:57
  asking for money and that tyler. If anybody's getting steakes, it's to me
• 27:03
  just message. As a matter of fact, I if it wasn't for me,
• 27:06
  there would be no no offensive line awards. So I feel like anytime
• 27:10
  something comes up offensive line wise, I should be getting a free steak.
• 27:12
  Okay, okay, you're right, I go ahead take it for me because
• 27:15
  I don't want to drive all the way up their first steak. Yeah,
• 27:18
  don't feed the wild animals. I'll send a representative podcast. Yeah exactly.
• 27:22
  But yeah, I think that Maridian played great last week. Like I said,
• 27:26
  offense, defense, special teams, everything kind of jelled really really well.
• 27:30
  And you know, I don't know about I don't know that much about
• 27:33
  the goats, so you know, we'll find out this upcoming week on the
• 27:38
  film. But uh, it's a long ways to go, you know,
• 27:42
  go into Shelan playing a seven pm game. I don't so I don't know
• 27:45
  if they're gonna come back that night. I have no idea that they'll come
• 27:48
  back. It's a heck of a trip. But but yeah, Meridian,
• 27:52
  like I said, they look really really good. And they're young too.
• 27:56
  You know, they got they got just a small handful of seniors, and
• 28:02
  boy, they're looking pretty good. Let's uh, let's do the little uh
• 28:07
  Google map here real quick, Tyler, right now, according to Google Maps
• 28:11
  from Meridian Senior High School, one nine four West, what does it say,
• 28:18
  West Laurel, West Laurel, Yeah, most likely yeah, one nine
• 28:21
  four West Loyal Laurel Road to Sheland three hours and fifty nine minutes, so
• 28:30
  almost about the same time I believed from Nooksack to uh Vancouver, right,
• 28:36
  yeah, yeah, so uh really quickly, Tyler Ryland, Ryland's got some
• 28:41
  nuggets. Okay, actually it's it's Ryland's got a little trivia. Okay,
• 28:48
  Schland Mountain Goats. There's a second team in the state with goats in it.
• 28:52
  Do you know who it is? Oh, I'm They're gonna kick myself.
• 29:00
  Maybe maybe not. It's an eight man football team. So is it
• 29:06
  the Billy Goats? It is the Billy Goats. And and by the way,
• 29:10
  the ladies teams are called the Nannies. Yeah, is it the the
• 29:18
  the team like the lacros Nos lacrosh name. Now, this is a team
• 29:26
  that's right up the road from Shellan actually, so goats must be huge in
• 29:30
  that area, which means there must not be a lique of grass. But
• 29:33
  the Ptero's Billy Goats Pteros up there, one of the eight man teams that
• 29:41
  they've had some good years, but not exactly the but also the eight man
• 29:45
  state champion is just barely north of there in the what is it the Methow
• 29:49
  Valley or something like that in or it's Liberty Bell High School up that way.
• 29:55
  Actually, they're how they became an eight man team. I have no
• 29:57
  idea because they were a two B there or no, what is it?
• 30:02
  Yeah? Two B? No what is it called? Uh? Yeah,
• 30:04
  two B is is the eleven man? Right? Yeah? One B one
• 30:08
  B is eight man. I don't know why my brain couldn't compute that,
• 30:11
  but there are two B school as far as attendance, and somehow they played
• 30:17
  eight man football. Yeah, anyway, Meridian. Actually on seven pm,
• 30:22
  that is on Friday, w F West rolls into town. They are oh
• 30:26
  and one to take on Linden and one that sounds weird to say, uh
• 30:30
  seven pm rollie to Kostro Field out there in Linden. Yeah, I mean
• 30:36
  these are two teams that definitely need to get a win. I mean you
• 30:38
  feel like it's a potential seating type thing, you know what I mean here?
• 30:45
  But yeah, w F West they lost last week to Ridgefield Linden.
• 30:48
  Obviously we know they lost to Ferndale. So Tyler, this is a rematch
• 30:52
  of a game from last year. Obviously, different different rosters if you will,
• 30:59
  But yeah, what are your thoughts on this game? Well? I
• 31:02
  remember last year, you know, you prepped me about their quarterback. He
• 31:06
  was as as what's this term as advertise advertised. I was gonna say as
• 31:12
  delivered. Uh, but he was as advertised on film. He was.
• 31:15
  He was something. Gavin Fugate was a great, great player. He couldn't
• 31:21
  he couldn't do it all on his own. But yeah, he's playing at
• 31:23
  Washington State now. Yeah, yeah, he's at Wazoo with the thirty five
• 31:30
  kids from Squalacum. That's right, and so, uh so I'm interested to
• 31:36
  see kind of you know, what they have to offer this year. Uh,
• 31:41
  you're right. And this one I love about Lyndon too, is they
• 31:44
  already play in a really tough conference and they do not you know, schedule.
• 31:48
  You know, Joe Schmoe was on their schedule for the for the non
• 31:52
  conference and you know they're always gonna schedule Ferndale because it's a rivalry games.
• 31:57
  So they only have like that one a lot left to schedule somebody else.
• 32:01
  And to go out and schedule against WF West is is huge. Uh.
• 32:06
  They've played in non conference games over the years, They've played oh Day Prosser,
• 32:12
  Uh, you know, big time schools in non conference games, Rainier
• 32:15
  Beach over the years, because you know, it's just it was a tradition
• 32:21
  that like if they can play him early, even if they lose to them,
• 32:24
  if they can if they play him later on the state tournament, then
• 32:27
  they kind of note that there's some familiarity and they could play him later.
• 32:30
  Now, they didn't work out too well when that happened with Stillackam. They
• 32:34
  beat him in the regular season and then it didn't. It went kind of
• 32:37
  the opposite way in the state playoffs. But they have no problems scheduling these
• 32:42
  teams. And I love that they do it. And you know, and
• 32:44
  the coach I asked the coaches about it, and they say, yeah,
• 32:45
  I mean that's it shows us where where where we need to be early.
• 32:51
  And you know, you got you gotta love that. And they're you know,
• 32:54
  they're back. The last year they were kind of the road warriors.
• 32:57
  I think they they played three games at home last year. Yeah, and
• 33:00
  and so this year they're at home a lot, and so to play in
• 33:05
  a second home game only them and and Bellingham I believe are going to be
• 33:09
  the only team from walking around and Squalicum I guess that are starting this season
• 33:14
  off with two home games. Uh so we're gonna big Lindon crowd will be
• 33:17
  back out there, and you're absolutely right. A much needed win for both
• 33:22
  of these teams. So, uh, you know, last year I let
• 33:25
  you know a little bit about about their quarterback. This year, I'll let
• 33:30
  you know about their quarterback. Oh okay, because he was actually the receiver
• 33:34
  last year catch from passes. This year, Gage Brumfield has moved back to
• 33:37
  quarterback. He's actually naturally quarterback six three, two hundred junior. He's really
• 33:45
  really talented. He'll run the ball, he'll throw the ball. You know,
• 33:49
  maybe not the greatest passing quarterback of all time, but he's capable enough
• 33:54
  that you got to respect it. And then they also have a running back.
• 34:00
  He is a junior also, so this is a team that's kind of
• 34:02
  kind of got a couple of real good juniors because their leading receiver is also
• 34:07
  a junior. But Tucker Land is the running back six two one ninety five
• 34:12
  as a running back, big dude, Yeah, get get in the whole
• 34:15
  buddy, Like that is that's not one you want to come heads up on.
• 34:19
  But yeah, they lost last week to a Ridgefield team that is pretty
• 34:22
  good. So it's not like they just lost, you know, some random
• 34:25
  team. They lost to a team that's pretty solid. But I wouldn't be
• 34:29
  surprised if they are jacked up ready to go for Lynden and they you know,
• 34:36
  both teams used to play on grass. They do a play on grass
• 34:37
  down there at WF West White classification is the Ridgefield Sputters in these days,
• 34:44
  they are in two A. They they were the state champions in one A
• 34:49
  my junior year, and I remember dur in that state playoffs they played.
• 34:53
  They played, they beat two different Walking County teams to get to the state
• 34:57
  championship games. So I remember kind of following him from there. And so
• 35:00
  first off, I've always curious kind of where they're at. Well, you
• 35:04
  should know where they're at, Tyler, Well, I know where they're at.
• 35:06
  I don't know they're what I'm saying, you should know a classification.
• 35:08
  They played a playoff game in Walcom County a couple of years ago, Yeah,
• 35:12
  I should know that. Or last week play against Squalicum, right,
• 35:15
  Yeah, it was two years ago with Layton Smithson. Yeah, I believe
• 35:19
  he broke off a long run, but that I think. I think we
• 35:23
  talked about it maybe a little bit last week about Granted Falls. How a
• 35:27
  lot of people are kind of moving to that area right right, and Ridgefield's
• 35:30
  very much the same, you know, uh, Ridgefield, Washhoogle, Hawkinson.
• 35:36
  Those kind of three areas are how do I see a little bit a
• 35:40
  lot of trees right and they're getting cut down so people can build houses.
• 35:45
  That's maybe the best way to put it. So, Yeah, w F
• 35:47
  West coming to town to take on Lynden owned one to own one, somebody's
• 35:52
  gonna start. Oh when Lyndon Christian they are also own one. They traveled
• 35:57
  down to Archbishop Murphy to Terry Ennis. Does it field or stadium? Gets
• 36:01
  stadium? I can't remember. It's probably stadium. I'm sure you wouldn't looked
• 36:06
  it up. If not, you can go to h what is it?
• 36:07
  A Washington State high school football stadiums on Facebook? I think that's what it
• 36:12
  is. I have no idea. I don't even know my own page.
• 36:15
  Yeah, Lynnon Christian though they head down there owen one. I think a
• 36:20
  lot of people did not expect them to be own one. Archbishop Murphy got
• 36:22
  a last second win on a field goal over Lake, Washington. Yeah.
• 36:28
  I mean you almost feel like this is kind of one of those games that
• 36:30
  Lynn and Christian needs to get a win here. I mean, obviously,
• 36:32
  if they start owing two two non league games, doesn't really matter as far
• 36:37
  as trying to get into the state tournament. But you know, you really
• 36:39
  don't want to drop a second game here early early on in the season because
• 36:44
  eventually, at some point Royal's coming to town and that's going to be a
• 36:46
  tough one. And you know, next you know, you're kind of looking
• 36:50
  down the barrel of oh, this is not as good as we expected here.
• 36:53
  But they got talent and obviously we are pretty confident in those guys.
• 36:58
  But yeah, Tyler Lynde in Christian arch Bishop Murphy, give me your thoughts.
• 37:02
  Yeah, you're right, Uh, Elsie really needs to win another road
• 37:06
  game for them. They have not played at home yet, and then after
• 37:07
  this, I think they played three Saturday home games in a row. So
• 37:12
  you're nowhere all be But uh, it's you know, there were there were
• 37:16
  parts last week that were really great and then there were parts that they really
• 37:22
  need to work on there. You know, it's just and I think that
• 37:27
  and you'll agree with me on this is the biggest improvement your team usually shows,
• 37:31
  and high school football is from week one to week two. That's just
• 37:35
  that's just the way that it goes. Because a lot of kids that are,
• 37:37
  especially when their first time varsity guys, they're kind of their eyes are
• 37:40
  wide open, and you know, it's kind of a surreal moment, and
• 37:44
  then by week two you're kind of like, Okay, I'm used to it
• 37:46
  now. Uh you know, I'm ready now. You know, there's a
• 37:51
  lot that they can learn on learn from from from week one. So I
• 37:54
  would imagine that, you know, kind of the growing pains have already happened,
• 37:59
  and I think they're gonna show a huge improvement. It's just too good
• 38:04
  of a team, too good of a coaching staff, too too good athletes.
• 38:07
  So I think that this will be a good one for LC. You
• 38:10
  know, Archbishop is traditionally one of the powerhouses. They've been down the last
• 38:14
  few years. But you know, I know that they have some good linemen
• 38:19
  and you know, they they tend to just have some good pieces and and
• 38:24
  but you know, I just I don't know, we'll see. I think
• 38:29
  that I think Lynn and Christian, you know, even though they're they're the
• 38:34
  smaller school, uh, they can match size with a lot of the bigger
• 38:37
  schools. So that's really not going to be an issue. It's going to
• 38:39
  be. They have to be able to do a little bit better with the
• 38:44
  running game. They you know, they're gonna be you know, spread out
• 38:46
  and do different things. They'll be running double tight. They did that a
• 38:50
  lot, and they were trying to a lot of quick passes. And if
• 38:52
  you can't get the running game going, the passes will be defended that much
• 38:57
  stronger. So they really have to break off some good run. They got
• 39:00
  to find something going with the running game, and if they can do that,
• 39:04
  it'll open up some things for the passing game. And they just let
• 39:07
  their defense. Just let their defense do their thing. Let them be athletes
• 39:09
  make plays on the field, and that's what they're gonna need to do.
• 39:15
  Levin Christian oh and one at Oh, Hey, you know what, before
• 39:16
  I go any further, Tyler, if you're a Lynnon Christian fan, you're
• 39:20
  headed down to the game. Brooklyn Brothers Pizza and Milk Creek. Brooklyn Brothers
• 39:27
  Pizza, Milk Creek. Tyler, Wait, that's Ryland's nugget. Ryland's food
• 39:34
  nugget now, Tyler. Yeah, I'm seeing a little thing here that tells
• 39:40
  me you have a nugget and we're talking about Lennon Christian Archbishop Murphy, just
• 39:46
  like we were talking about Ferndale Oak Harbor. How do you got a nugget
• 39:50
  on this one, Tyler? Well, it's it's kind of a stat thing
• 39:53
  with Jeremiah Right. So I kind of mentioned it last week in the in
• 40:00
  the ride up, in the in the preview and about how in Walking County
• 40:07
  career history, Jeremiahright is the second most accurate passer for a career yep,
• 40:15
  Okay, sixty five point Now he not. He went down point seven percent
• 40:19
  because of last week's game. He went from sixty six percent to sixty five
• 40:22
  point three percent completion percentage all time leaders Josh Kraft sixty six and a half
• 40:28
  percent. So what does he need to throw to surpass Josh Kraft? Okay,
• 40:36
  he has to. Basically I was ransom because you know, yeah,
• 40:39
  you can go nine for nine or whatever, but I wanted to make it
• 40:43
  more realistic. He has to go sixteen of twenty in this game. Now,
• 40:47
  obviously he has multiple games and he can go up and down and above
• 40:52
  him and be below him, and he could kind of jump around, but
• 40:54
  for him to become Walking County's all time career completion percentage leader. After this
• 41:01
  game, he'll have to complete sixteen of twenty passes. If he does that,
• 41:05
  he'll be at sixty six point eight percent for his career. Tyler's got
• 41:12
  Tyler's got some math nuggets, man. Tyler's got some nuggets, man.
• 41:16
  What's that? Tyler's got some nuggets? Man, he does, He's got
• 41:20
  nuggets. Uh. Lennon Christian Owen want arch Pitscher Murphy one to seven pm
• 41:24
  down there in I think it's actually Everett is the city that arch Pisher Murphy.
• 41:30
  I was gonna say, I think it is ever Yeah, because Mill
• 41:31
  Creek is like I actually believe it's literally across the street, although not across
• 41:37
  the street because technically arch Pitsher Murphy is actually behind I want to say,
• 41:43
  an elementary school and then you cross that street and I think you're in Mill
• 41:46
  Creek. I don't know. It's I've only been to that field one time.
• 41:51
  It was to call a game when they played Sea Home, and yeah,
• 41:54
  I thought it was really cool how they came out of the school onto
• 41:58
  the field like they actually come out of I think it's the weight room.
• 42:00
  Is that what it is? Yeah, it's it's it's cool, like behind
• 42:04
  the goal post. It's just a it's a it's a it's a cool visual.
• 42:07
  They're almost like behind the scoreboard. It's weird, right, Yeah,
• 42:09
  yeah it is Connell. The Eagles owned one coming to town to take on
• 42:15
  Nooksack Valley one to Ozero at seven pm sid Lambert Field out there in uh
• 42:22
  oh, my goodness. What is the name of the city, Tyler Everson?
• 42:25
  Everson, that's the name of the city. I don't know why I
• 42:28
  couldn't remember that one. Uh yeah, Connell Nooksack Valley of rematch again of
• 42:32
  last year's game between these two teams that if I remember right, I think
• 42:36
  was that a Saturday game out there and Connell and it was real if I
• 42:38
  remember, yeah, it was like ninety five degrees Nooksac one twenty one zero
• 42:43
  in that game. Remember Jackson Bennett had a hunt return for a touchdown and
• 42:47
  and he had like a long bomb that he cut for a touchdown and that
• 42:50
  was kind of his coming out party. I would imagine that Connell doesn't have
• 42:53
  a lot of history with Walcom County outside of playoff games. Would you would
• 42:58
  you think that's true? Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I
• 43:00
  think Baker's played him nook Sax player. I think Kanell knocked out Nooksack in
• 43:06
  the quarters in two thousand and two. I want to say they had a
• 43:10
  really good run in two thousand and two and Connell knocked him out and I
• 43:15
  and uh in the late seventies, UH, Nooksack Valley had an offensive lineman
• 43:21
  that was an All Conference player named Steve Kannell. So this is that,
• 43:27
  this is this is a nugget for free that didn't even you know, I
• 43:30
  have for you, but I just kind of its kind of came out of
• 43:32
  my head there. I mean, that's that's a that's a Tyler, that's
• 43:37
  a nuggets man. That was not planned. Yeah, that's that was a
• 43:39
  deep cut a little bit. That's a that's a non nugget. Nugget is
• 43:43
  what it is. Yeah, I mean, Tyler, this is a game.
• 43:47
  Thinking back to last year's game, you know, this was a you
• 43:52
  know, we we saw them week one. We saw Nooksack Valley beat a
• 43:55
  A three A a good three A program. We kind of went, okay,
• 44:00
  all right, maybe didn't necessarily expect that. Now they go on the
• 44:05
  road. It's hot. I remember, you know, the game wasn't exactly
• 44:09
  the greatest. I think you mentioned twenty one nothing and it's like, all
• 44:13
  right, kind of maybe hoped that after that, you know, the one
• 44:15
  that they would maybe run these guys out of the building a little bit.
• 44:19
  Now here we are a year later, and it's like there's no real questions,
• 44:23
  you know what I mean, Like a year ago this time, we're
• 44:27
  still wondering like, wow, are these guys maybe for real? Like what's
• 44:30
  going on here? I think we were kind of thinking it looks like they're
• 44:32
  kind of a year ahead of schedule right now. Yes, I think this
• 44:36
  is the year we all expected them to make the semi finals, you know
• 44:39
  what I mean, not you know, a year ago. And so it's
• 44:43
  kind of cool. It's kind of see the maturation of everything. But you
• 44:45
  know, when you when you look at this one, Tyler, I mean,
• 44:47
  this is a game that you start feeling like some of these games for
• 44:52
  Nooksack Valley they should not have trouble with. Yeah, I mean, but
• 44:55
  you don't want to fall into that trap obviously. So Connell is a team
• 45:00
  that's you know, they've made the playoffs a few times here and there,
• 45:04
  and it was not an easy game last year. It wasn't like, you
• 45:08
  know, they did have some you know, some road games, you know,
• 45:14
  Hoquium. I can't was it Hoquium last year or is that the one
• 45:16
  with the baseball field? Wasn't didn't Baker play there? I'm sorry? I
• 45:22
  thought it was Baker that played. They're not nooks Well, who which one's
• 45:25
  the field that has the baseball? Like, yeah, Hoquium has the it's
• 45:29
  like back behind the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's Hoqui.
• 45:32
  Okay, So Nooksak played their last year, okay, and and they
• 45:37
  got them really good, like they housed them and and so, but it
• 45:43
  wasn't that way against Connell. I think Connell's they're you know, they were
• 45:46
  they were pretty good. But now at home, I think you're right.
• 45:51
  I think that uh, you know, the first home game, they fill
• 45:54
  out those stands pretty well. And when think when when things are going well,
• 45:58
  when you're kind of on the upswing and the fans get into it a
• 46:00
  little bit more, just you know, they're more there's gonna be more cheerleaders,
• 46:05
  there's gonna be more band members, there's gonna be there's just kind of
• 46:07
  that you know, that extra a little bit around the stadium. Around the
• 46:12
  field, and and uh, you know, I think that you know that
• 46:16
  for that first home game for a team that a lot of them are expecting
• 46:19
  some great things from, it's gonna be an awesome atmosphere. I'll be out
• 46:22
  there for it, you know. Like I always say, it's a great
• 46:27
  place to go watch a football game. It's uh, it's a it feels
• 46:31
  kind of like home for me. I've said it over the years, I
• 46:35
  know, but it's just, uh, it's one of the places where I
• 46:38
  feel the most welcome, and so I really do enjoy going out there.
• 46:40
  And and uh, it's gonna be it's gonna be a good one. I'm
• 46:45
  excited to see what they do. And and uh, they looked really great
• 46:50
  offensively, putting up almost five hundred yards. I don't know how well the
• 46:53
  Eagles throw the ball. That was kind of an issue, just nothing,
• 46:58
  nothing crazy, But they just gave up a few big plays. And they
• 47:01
  they can clear that up, you know, they should. They should be
• 47:05
  just fine on Friday night. Tell you what. I don't remember a time
• 47:07
  in which I watched a Connell Eagles game and said, man, they throw
• 47:12
  the ball, well, right, you know what I mean? Like,
• 47:15
  yeah, I mean don't get me wrong, Like they've had some decent quarterbacks
• 47:17
  over the years, but there's never been a time that I remember being like,
• 47:21
  wow, you know, if you want to beat this team, you
• 47:22
  gotta stop him through the air, right, you know. I mean you
• 47:24
  remember they had the running back Matt Hadley Oh Man, Yeah, I mean
• 47:30
  he was phenomenal. That guy was great. He was. He's one of
• 47:34
  those you know, man's man high school football players, you know what I
• 47:37
  mean, Like guys that you just think about and it's like wow, yeah,
• 47:39
  that guy could flat out and play the game. And like Joe Hollow
• 47:44
  Hollow HUNI or I don't remember how you say the name. You remember him
• 47:47
  from Ording, Yeah, yeah, he was. He was like that.
• 47:51
  He was like the guy, right he did everything and he was like he
• 47:53
  was kind of like that. Yeah, he was kind of like this uh,
• 47:57
  this kicker out of Mount Baker Tyler Andrew No anyway, Connell coming to
• 48:01
  town, oh and one to take on Nooksack Valley one to oh seven pm
• 48:05
  out there at Nooksack Valley. The final game we're gonna talk about here,
• 48:08
  and it's one that it's gonna be a little opsided conversation here because Siakam's coming
• 48:14
  to town again. As far as I can tell, they have no record
• 48:17
  this year, but it's a little hard to really get much information out of
• 48:22
  the good old province of British Columbia up there. But they are coming town
• 48:25
  to take on Squalacum, who is one to oh after smacking around New Westminster
• 48:30
  on or last week at Civic Stadium, and they're right back there at Civic
• 48:35
  Stadium. Is the second part of a double header eight pm at Civic Stadium
• 48:39
  following the Meadowdale Bellingham games. So Tyler Siaqwam, while you know what,
• 48:45
  I guess we gotta go back a little bit to the last year because we
• 48:49
  saw them play Linden Christian and this is a team that lack of a better
• 48:54
  term. They took one on the chin last year against Lynden Christian for I
• 48:59
  believe it was first win, correct, Yeah, you're right. It was
• 49:02
  first coaching as a head coach. And I think it was fifty six to
• 49:06
  six something like that. Yeah, So, and my fantasy went nuts because
• 49:10
  that was when I had the defense, right, Yeah, he had Lynden
• 49:14
  Christmas defense and I think they scored three touchdowns defensively or something like that and
• 49:17
  beautiful. Yeah, it was nuts, it was crazy. But if Farst
• 49:22
  Walacom goes, I mean, this is a game where you know, I
• 49:25
  mean, I guess if if we're smart here in a little bit, we
• 49:29
  might be well. When you already took him last week, so you're not
• 49:31
  gonna be able to take him again, But Marcus Nixon might be might might
• 49:35
  be the play this week. I mean, the chance of that guy could
• 49:37
  put up some points. But yeah, siaqwam is there? Have they played
• 49:40
  many other games other than the Lennon Christian I can't remember. They played in
• 49:45
  the late nineties against Nooksack, and I remember I think it was like ninety
• 49:50
  eight, and that was the year I was up in the booth doing pa
• 49:53
  announcing for Baker, and that was the first time I'd ever heard of I
• 49:58
  remember looking over the schedule and and I didn't know how to say it back
• 50:01
  then. I just called it sequam and I had no idea, you know.
• 50:07
  And the first time I ever heard it pronounced correctly, I think was
• 50:10
  last year with you saying it, so I was like, oh, seaquam,
• 50:14
  that kind of makes sense, okay. But I do remember Nooksak playing
• 50:17
  him in nineteen ninety eight. Yeah, and for people wondering Seaquam is it's
• 50:25
  I mean, I guess it's technically part of Surrey. It's not real far
• 50:30
  across the borders right there. Yeah, it's kind of on your way,
• 50:36
  you know, Highway ninety nine cross or well I five becomes Canada ninety nine
• 50:42
  and that'll take you right down into Vancouver. But eventually at some point it
• 50:45
  cuts off and if you want to go towards New Westminster, Seaquam is kind
• 50:51
  of on the way, is the way I would describe it. So it's
• 50:53
  not a not a long road trip, but you never know what the border.
• 50:57
  I mean, that could be a twenty minute wait, it could be
• 50:59
  a two hour wait. It could be a thirty second way. Or if
• 51:01
  you're the guy that drove through the border the other day, it could be
• 51:04
  a five second way. I mean you just plow right through. But yeah,
• 51:07
  Yakum Squalicum Tyler. I mean, many thoughts on this one from your
• 51:13
  standpoint, No really, I mean I kind of look at it a lot
• 51:15
  like last week's game. You know those BC schools. You don't really know
• 51:19
  what to expect. Tends to it tends to be spread offense. You know,
• 51:23
  it was funny. I was watching the film from the New West game
• 51:27
  and it seemed like there was a few times where the receiver would leave early
• 51:30
  and it wasn't getting called. And I just started laughing. I was like,
• 51:32
  maybe that's just you know, CFL rules and they just don't care and
• 51:37
  they just let them kind of do that. But it was obviously it was
• 51:39
  week one for the refs too, And I never want to ever want to
• 51:42
  get on the refs. That's a that's a crazy job. It's a hard
• 51:45
  job, and I would never want to do that myself. But I just
• 51:49
  I just remember it was just kind of something that that kind of tickled me
• 51:52
  a little bit seeing receivers leave early. It seemed like it happened five or
• 51:55
  six times in that game, and I just thought, well, that's that
• 52:00
  must be BC rules. It's okay, But I just see I just see
• 52:04
  a lot like last week's game, you know, I just think that,
• 52:07
  uh, the athleticism of Marcus Nixon viagging those guys, it's it's gonna be
• 52:13
  a lot to overcome for the Canadian school. Yeah, Tyler, you mentioned,
• 52:15
  you know, referees, and I think something needs to be said a
• 52:19
  little bit there. It's like, yeah, we do gotta lay off referees,
• 52:21
  you know, I mean, these guys are not getting paid very much.
• 52:24
  You know, it's it's a tough job. And frankly, those guys
• 52:29
  are high school football fans, you know what I mean. Like they're they're
• 52:32
  good people, they're high school football fans. But if you think they give
• 52:35
  a crap about who wins a game, you're frigging nuts, you know,
• 52:39
  I mean, Tyler, you know what the two most underpaid jobs in Walcom
• 52:43
  County are WelCom preps Yeah, I was gonna say Walcomb Preps writer and uh
• 52:49
  high school football official. Yeah. Anyway, Siawam coming to town take on
• 52:52
  Squaldcom eight pm, part of the double header there at Civic Stadium on Friday
• 52:57
  night. Tyler, you're gonna be out there at a couple of games.
• 53:00
  You're gonna be at Blaine Sea Home on Thursday, You're gonna be at Meadowdale
• 53:04
  Bellingham Friday, and then you're gonna jump over to Connell at Nooksack Valley.
• 53:08
  So if you wanted to know what you need to wear to those games,
• 53:14
  Tyler, where would you go other than Burlington Code factory. Wait ask the
• 53:21
  question again. I don't get it. If you're going to games, who
• 53:24
  do you talk to to find out what to wear to the game. I
• 53:30
  don't know. You talked to Randy Small? Is it gonna be called hot?
• 53:32
  Oh? Come on, Randy Small, Wacom County Weather were saying,
• 53:38
  yes, well I know what you're gonna wear. You're probably gonna wear like
• 53:40
  Mongol McMichael jersey or something like I don't even know, or Dan Hampton.
• 53:45
  I wore my Atlanta Falcon Dion Sanders jersey and last week. Okay, well,
• 53:50
  don't wear it this week because they're playing Nebraska. Yeah, well do
• 53:53
  you have it? Do you have a Tom Raffman I try to find a
• 53:57
  jersey ad that didn't have green, gold, or blue in it. Okay,
• 54:01
  well, you're going to see Meadowdale, Bellingham, Condell, Nooksack,
• 54:06
  Valley, Blaine Sea Home. See I can go blue. I was thinking
• 54:08
  my Lawrence Taylor jersey. Yeah, but Meadowdale's blue. You don't want to
• 54:12
  make it look like you're rooting for the other team. It's dark blue,
• 54:15
  though, are they? You know Tyler? What I'm thinking, I'm thinking
• 54:20
  you need either. I think you need a forty nine Ers jersey. How
• 54:24
  about Roger Craig or Tom Rathman. You know, I don't have a forty
• 54:28
  nine Ers jersey. I almost have one from every team. Maybe I'll go
• 54:30
  Lawrence Taylor Thursday night and then Friday. Yeah, huh, I can there's
• 54:37
  like maybe maybe Mark Gastineau. Have you got Carl Mecklenburg. Oh that would
• 54:44
  be sweet. It would be see with teams that I hate, I don't
• 54:46
  buy jerseys like yeahcos like but Mecklenburg, you know, the throwback jersey that'd
• 54:52
  be that'd be nice. But I might go Mark Gastoneau on Friday. Yeah,
• 54:57
  there's no green anywhere. No, Yeah, that's that's that's not a
• 55:00
  bad idea, Tyler. Uh just a rough estimate. How many old school
• 55:06
  football jerseys he got? Twenty five? Very nice, very nice. I
• 55:15
  have a lot of them, and yeah they're all they're all Seahawks though,
• 55:17
  yeah most of Seahawks. Yeah, I got I got maybe five Seahawks,
• 55:21
  But I try to I want to get one from each team next and the
• 55:25
  next one I'm getting is a T J. Bass Dallas Cowboys jersey. There
• 55:30
  you go. Even for a while there, I thought about you know all
• 55:32
  the guys that make the NFL from around here. I should just buy one
• 55:35
  of their jerseys and frame it just because. Yeah. I thought about it
• 55:38
  for a while, but you know what the problem is, we got too
• 55:39
  many dan guys going to the NFL. Now. I ain't got that kind
• 55:44
  of money. I do have a Jake Locker Titan's jersey. Oh night,
• 55:47
  I have a Eddie George Titan's jersey. Very good. Do you want it?
• 55:51
  I don't want it? Actually, I have a Deon Sanders Lion's jersey
• 55:55
  as well, or Barry Sanders. I mean, oh okay, I'm like,
• 55:59
  whoa, Yeah, Deon Sanders Lyons jersey. He never played for the
• 56:02
  team. I just had the jersey made anyway, Randy Small, he's got
• 56:07
  the weather Tyler Wacom County WX Weather from the Pacific Northwest, Facebook dot com,
• 56:12
  backslash Wacom County Weather and Wacom County wx dot com. Or find him
• 56:16
  on Twitter at Randy Small. It's really easy to find him that way.
• 56:22
  That's the easiest. You type it in at Randy Small. But yeah,
• 56:25
  Randy, what kind of weather are we looking at this weekend? Hello,
• 56:29
  Wacom County football fans. This is Randy Small of Walcom County Weather, and
• 56:35
  it's already week two of the football season. Some great games this past weekend
• 56:39
  and some great weather this past weekend. And really all we have to do
• 56:43
  is take a carbon copy minus a couple of degrees for this coming weekend.
• 56:47
  And I think just about all the games, if not all of them,
• 56:50
  are on Friday in a quick check of the schedule. So Friday is going
• 56:53
  to be a wonderful night for football. It will be a little bit cool
• 56:58
  by the time the game is over, but it is going to be probably
• 57:00
  in the upper sixties, even maybe a little seventy, but probably upper sixties
• 57:05
  when the game starts. Really no threat of rain, wind will be minimal.
• 57:08
  It's going to be an outstanding night Friday night, Friday afternoon for football.
• 57:12
  And that I know. There's a few games away games that should apply
• 57:15
  to just about anywhere in the Pacific Northwest that any of your any of the
• 57:21
  teams are going to be playing. I see a couple of long road trips
• 57:23
  for several teams. But again, the weather should be good even in eastern
• 57:27

• 58:44
  this week, Tyler, we got a young guy, so we have to
• 58:46
  beat him. Uh. The young guy is Jake Mason, former Ferndale.
• 58:52
  I mean, I'm just gonna say, badass. The guy was both sides.
• 58:54
  Oh, and great baseball player too, and really nice flow and you
• 59:00
  know what, all around general nice guy. Oh and he's a model now
• 59:02
  too. For I mean, come on, he's got it all. Come
• 59:06
  on, the guy's got a lot of potential revenue streams going here. Yeah,
• 59:12
  Jake Mason, Tyler, when do you think of Jake Mason? What's
• 59:15
  if I said to you, Tyler, right now, if I said,
• 59:19
  give me your first thought when I say the name Jake Mason, what's the
• 59:21
  first thing that comes to mind? H quarterback sack? Yeah, not about
• 59:25
  way to go. I mean it's just I mean, right off the bat
• 59:29
  during that COVID season, I didn't know anything about him. I mean I
• 59:37
  knew he was a really good baseball player because I went out to baseball practice
• 59:40
  his freshman year. Got his head shot and everything, and and then like
• 59:46
  two days later is when the season was shut down, so they never got
• 59:50
  to play a game. But I was like, Okay, he's out there
• 59:52
  with a varsity team. He's a good baseball player. I didn't know.
• 59:54
  I mean, I got his head shot, it was really quick. I
• 59:57
  didn't realize he would be a lineman at the varsity level the next year.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah, And and you know, I wasn't able to go out to practice
• 1:00:06
  during COVID, so there was a lot of these There was a lot of
• 1:00:07
  this mystery kind of about that. You know, that season, I wasn't
• 1:00:12
  getting headshots. I wasn't going out and getting all that stuff. So I
• 1:00:15
  there was a lot that I didn't know. And when I got to see
• 1:00:19
  the film, it just it everything that he did jumped off. His polling
• 1:00:23
  ability as a left tackle, his long snapping ability, his ability to get
• 1:00:28
  after the quarterback. And then it was just steady Eddy from there on out.
• 1:00:32
  I mean it was every week. There was some great, great games.
• 1:00:37
  You know, there was multiple times where he had like four sacks in
• 1:00:40
  a game, Walcom County's all time sack leader. H flirted with a five
• 1:00:45
  hundred batting average all year last year ended up you know in the in the
• 1:00:51
  mid to high four hundreds. Was like four seventy something doubles machine. I
• 1:00:55
  think half of his hits we went for extra basses. Pitcher that had a
• 1:01:00
  you know, pitched a pitched a no hitter, but he got yanked for
• 1:01:05
  the final he had to He got yanked because of a pitch a rule,
• 1:01:07
  a wi a a rule for the pitch count. So he wasn't able to
• 1:01:12
  get the final out. Camden Raymond came in and got the final out.
• 1:01:15
  Uh, topping you know, topping out at the low nineties for miles per
• 1:01:19
  hour as a pitcher, I mean, just everything. Just a great,
• 1:01:22
  great athlete, like you said, to a great all around person. And
• 1:01:28
  have an coconut Kenny's model now, so have fun with that people. Tyler,
• 1:01:32
  I asked for your first thought. You gave me five minutes. There
• 1:01:36
  you go, now, Tyler, I just want to throw out there.
• 1:01:38
  You mentioned he was flirting with a five hundred batting average, right, yeah,
• 1:01:42
  yeah, I once when an entire season without getting out. I just
• 1:01:46
  want to throw that out there. Yeah. Kirkland Kirkland National Little League Jaguars
• 1:01:51
  t Ball six years old, same thing relatively. Uh. Anyway, we
• 1:01:58
  all are picking Sea home and and you know what, I guess we should
• 1:02:00
  say we all before you get into the picks. I have to follow up
• 1:02:06
  on this t ball thing. Why what do you what do you got?
• 1:02:07
  Well, because the greatest you know, you know, Shoheyotani keeps doing all
• 1:02:14
  these things. Yeah say it hasn't been done since Babe Ruth, you know,
• 1:02:16
  and and you know say something like, you know, he struck out
• 1:02:21
  twelve batters and then went and played in right field for two winnings or something
• 1:02:24
  like that a couple of years ago. And like someone would post like I
• 1:02:29
  did the same thing in third grade. So what It's so funny because that's
• 1:02:35
  that's the way it was. But you know, yeah, you know,
• 1:02:37
  you pitch, you know, for most of the game, and you go
• 1:02:39
  and play another position for a couple innings or something. And and I just
• 1:02:43
  when I remember seeing that, it just made me laugh so hard, and
• 1:02:45
  it kind of made me think of what you were just saying, like,
• 1:02:47
  oh, that's nothing. You know, I did this. It's kind of
• 1:02:51
  the same deal. Like Shoheyotani did this. It's like, yeah, I
• 1:02:53
  did that third grade. So what I'm gonna I'm gonna send you a Twitter
• 1:02:58
  account, Tyler that I think you will like. It's just absolutely ridiculous.
• 1:03:02
  It's a it's a parody account, and it's called three Year Letterman and uh,
• 1:03:08
  just just to read you, his bio says, youth football coaching legend,
• 1:03:13
  diehard Georgia fan, three year high school football letterman, show stopping literally
• 1:03:17
  umpire region champion three way tigh. I mean, and it's just some of
• 1:03:22
  the stuff that he posts is just it's so funny. And I mean some
• 1:03:29
  of it's, you know, kind of off the wall stuff where I'm just
• 1:03:31
  like, yeah about that. But there's some there's some stuff that he posts
• 1:03:36
  where and people take it serious, you know, they think this guy's being
• 1:03:39
  serious, that he's a youth football coaching legend or whatever. You know.
• 1:03:44
  Yeah, it's it's pretty funny. But I'll send it to you because it's
• 1:03:49
  it's honestly hilarious. But yeah, anyway, we are all picking Sea Home,
• 1:03:53
  Mount Baker, Ferndale, Squalakam, Lyndon, Christian and nook Sack Valley.
• 1:03:58
  No Homers at all in that group, and then Tyler, you and
• 1:04:02
  myself we are picking Bellingham that's probably a little bit of a homer. Uh.
• 1:04:09
  Jake Mason and myself, we're picking WF West. Now. I'm picking
• 1:04:15
  WF West because I like what they got going as far as athletes and stuff.
• 1:04:20
  Jake, there's a little bit of I mean, yeah, I mean,
• 1:04:27
  hey, Jake, you guys got the win last week. You don't
• 1:04:29
  need to be that guy. You know what I'm saying. But uh uh.
• 1:04:32
  And then in the other one, shellan Over Meridian being picked by Connor
• 1:04:36
  and Nate. So they're not allowed in Laurel, They're not allowed in like
• 1:04:42
  Belling, They're not allowed in a lot of places anymore. I mean,
• 1:04:45
  these these youngsters man picking name for themselves. It's uh, at the rate
• 1:04:48
  they're going, they're only gonna be allowed at basically Lynden, I mean,
• 1:04:53
  what's going on here? But yeah, anyway, that's the pick thems there
• 1:04:58
  sou We'll we we will have the results. I mean, I guess we'll
• 1:05:00
  have the results by Friday night. But we will have the results and we'll
• 1:05:04
  talk about it more on the review podcast that comes out on Tuesday morning,
• 1:05:10
  so be sure to subscribe to the podcast. Actually does that I'm trying to
• 1:05:14
  remember, do we put that one out a day early. Do I put
• 1:05:16
  that one out Monday? If we record Sunday night? I don't know.
• 1:05:19
  I mean that's no. I think it's just Tuesday Morning's what it is.
• 1:05:26
  Let's see here, draft, Tyler, we got the fantasy draft here last
• 1:05:29
  week. Hold on, let me pull it up to see who won.
• 1:05:30
  Really quickly, I'll look at that Ryland one to no, huh wild all
• 1:05:35
  right, which means, Tyler, you get the first pick now. Really
• 1:05:39
  quickly, I'll just run over the positions that we're gonna have to pick here.
• 1:05:42
  Quarterback, running back, and we're only picking one quarterback, running back,
• 1:05:45
  wide receiver. Tight end is one position. Offensive line defense, so
• 1:05:50
  a team defense. And when we say offensive line, is a team offensive
• 1:05:54
  line, not just you know, a guy. I would picked Land and
• 1:05:57
  Hatchett every game last year. Front seven on defensive meaning defensive linemen and linebacker.
• 1:06:03
  Back seven on defense meaning linebacker and defensive back. And then we're also
• 1:06:08
  picking a kicker. Now that being said, we are not allowed to pick
• 1:06:13
  players that we picked last week. If we picked a player so I picked,
• 1:06:18
  trying to remember who did I pick at quarterback last week? Tyler?
• 1:06:20
  Do you remember Jeremiah Right, Jeremiah Wright. I could pick him on defense
• 1:06:27
  this week, but I can't pick him on offense, right, So Yeah,
• 1:06:30
  well it's a it's a little tough. We're We tried to make it
• 1:06:32
  as hard on ourselves as possible, and I think all we did is basically
• 1:06:35
  made it lopsided that I'm gonna win every week. So that being said,
• 1:06:40
  Tyler, I like it when you pick first because that means I won last
• 1:06:44
  week. So go ahead and then take your first pick. Well, he
• 1:06:48
  put up a heck of a game last week, and the one thing about
• 1:06:54
  him is that he didn't run as much. And I believe my boy Nolan,
• 1:07:00
  sophomore quarterback at Sea Hoome, is gonna put up similar numbers. Last
• 1:07:03
  year against Blaine, he just went all out, eight for eight, passing
• 1:07:06
  over two hundred yards, four touchdowns. He ran for fifty yards. That
• 1:07:11
  was kind of his coming out party last year. Last week against Baker,
• 1:07:15
  he threw for four touchdowns. Those are the only two times he's thrown for
• 1:07:17
  four touchdowns in a game. So I think it kind of lines up right
• 1:07:21
  for him to have a big game, and you know he might take off
• 1:07:25
  and run a few times too. Which only adds to the point. So
• 1:07:27
  I'm gonna go Nolan Right at quarterback. Solid. That's a really really nice
• 1:07:32
  pick here. Yeah, and you know what, let's see. So I'm
• 1:07:41
  gonna I gotta think about winning here, so let's get in the right mindset.
• 1:07:46
  I'm gonna go with Andre Watson at receiver. Kind of countered you out
• 1:07:51
  a little bit there if I can hopefully, hopefully, I really want Nolan
• 1:07:56
  Right to run. Yeah, throw the radic. Hopefully he throws for a
• 1:08:00
  lot of yards and it's all the juice our guy Jis and not Jis.
• 1:08:06
  And then I got a second pick here, so I'm gonna go, and
• 1:08:11
  I'm gonna go even nuts here, and I'm gonna go. I mean,
• 1:08:14
  I'm nuts anyway. But uh, Tyler, there was a place in New
• 1:08:16
  York City that I saw and it was like a little stand on the side
• 1:08:20
  of the street. It was called nuts for Nuts. Nice. Yeah,
• 1:08:25
  I didn't get any, but the guy was nuts for nuts. It was
• 1:08:28
  pretty wild. And I'm nuts for burgers, not on them, but nuts
• 1:08:32
  for burgers. Oh yeah, underground, underground burger. Tyler. I reviewed
• 1:08:39
  it, Yes, I reviewed it. I was at the game and our
• 1:08:43
  guy, oh hold on, our guy Whitman brought it to me. First
• 1:08:50
  off, did you get the fries? Were great? Yes, I got
• 1:08:55
  waffle fries. I got the double Underground Burger. This was a meal train
• 1:08:58
  because you know, miss walk and preps, Laura is not feeling well,
• 1:09:00
  so people are bringing us food and uh then so someone brought us Underground Burger
• 1:09:05
  tonight. Oh my goodness, whoa do they deliver down here? Like the
• 1:09:11
  who's who are people? I know what you're talking about? Food to us
• 1:09:15
  for us? Yeah, but I mean, I know the price of gas
• 1:09:17
  is high, but could they at least swing by if they go to spring
• 1:09:21
  down to Kirklands. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Underground
• 1:09:27
  Burger. I yeah, I was. As a matter of fact, Tyler,
• 1:09:30
  what I'm gonna do here? Did I pick my second one yet?
• 1:09:33
  I don't think? Yeah? Okay, well I'm going to see Holmes offensive
• 1:09:38
  line and I'm not going to talk about it too much because what I'm gonna
• 1:09:40
  do is I'm gonna let you do your thing and make two picks while I
• 1:09:44
  go look for the Old Burger review and see see what I did for for
• 1:09:48
  all Underground Burger there. So go ahead, Tyler, what do you got?
• 1:09:53
  Okay, Well, so far we're three for three with Seaholme Mariners.
• 1:09:56
  So I'm gonna kind of buck the trend a little bit here and go I'm
• 1:10:00
  gonna go front seven, and I'm gonna go go Caden Stit. I think
• 1:10:04
  that, uh, I think defensively he's just one of the best around and
• 1:10:11
  I think he's always primed to make some big time numbers. So so I'm
• 1:10:15
  gonna go Lennon Christian's senior Caden Stite as a front seven player. I'm I'm
• 1:10:18
  gonna stay on the defensive side of the ball a little bit here, and
• 1:10:23
  I'm gonna go. As a team, I want to go Mount Baker defense.
• 1:10:27
  I think that you know, the year's pass through last three or four
• 1:10:30
  or five years, they they team, they seem to have a lot of
• 1:10:34
  these pick sixes. They just they're one of those teams that intercepts a lot
• 1:10:39
  of passes, but even better, they return a lot of them for touchdowns.
• 1:10:42
  So I think that I could see them doing that in this game.
• 1:10:45
  For some reason, I just see it in my head. So I'm calling
• 1:10:48
  it right here. Mount Baker Defense. I think they're gonna get a pick
• 1:10:51
  six, So I'm gonna pick them, Tyler. I just I just set
• 1:10:55
  you have a picture on Facebook of the and it's right there in Civic Stadium
• 1:11:02
  that I got from from Old Underground Burger. There. I got the double
• 1:11:06
  UGB with bacon. That's that's exactly what I got, yep. And I
• 1:11:11
  gave it three thumbs up for the burger, three thumbs up for the bacon,
• 1:11:15
  and three thumbs up for the waffle fries. And you know what,
• 1:11:17
  I didn't do it, but I really should have given it like ten thumbs
• 1:11:20
  up for the price because I got it for free. That was that was
• 1:11:24
  a good price. Uh And and and the review says juicy and flavor flavorful
• 1:11:28
  burger with crispy waffle fries. A full, A full bastard is a happy
• 1:11:31
  bastard. I will eat there again. This is the best burger in Wacom
• 1:11:35
  County so far. Tyler, I would have to agree. It was good.
• 1:11:41
  That was phenomenal. That was that was. That was one of my
• 1:11:45
  best. Uh And And you know I'm looking here at uh some some comments
• 1:11:49
  and old UH coach Olsen says, uh at coach Whitman, what's a guy
• 1:11:54
  got to do? In order to get burgers delivered like this. I mean,
• 1:12:00
  you know what you gotta do there, Coach Olsen. You gotta style
• 1:12:01
  and profile like meat and you can get one anyway. Tyler. Back to
• 1:12:09
  my picks. Yes, so you've gone QB front seven in defense, I've
• 1:12:13
  gone wide receiver in O line, which means I'm gonna go running back,
• 1:12:20
  and I'm gonna pick the guy that put up the best numbers last week.
• 1:12:25
  Well, the offensive player of the week, right, talent bunky, That's
• 1:12:30
  what I'm gonna do. I'm going talent bunk guard at running back. And
• 1:12:33
  then I guess I gotta go to the defensive side of the ball here.
• 1:12:40
  I'm gonna go front seven. And it seems like a theme here because I
• 1:12:43
  feel like I'm only picking linebackers. But I'm gonna go with you know what,
• 1:12:47
  I'm gonna go with the guy that had the most tackles last week.
• 1:12:49
  Charlie ayers. The good thing is my two guys aren't aren't hitting each other
• 1:12:54
  this week. Yeah, exactly, They're gonna finally play against somebody else,
• 1:12:57
  and yeah, hey, there's nothing wrong with picking the offense been defensive player
• 1:13:00
  of the week from last week. So yeah, So, Tyler, you've
• 1:13:05
  got two picks here. You need kicker, back seven, you need running
• 1:13:10
  back, wide receiver and O line. I'm gonna go kicker. Okay,
• 1:13:15
  I'm gonna go special K. I'm gonna go Malachi Cane and the freshman kicker
• 1:13:20
  out of Linden. I think that that WF West game, I might you
• 1:13:26
  know, there might be some field goals involved, might be a game winning
• 1:13:29
  field goal involved. So I like my chances there. Wait, did you
• 1:13:32
  call him special K? Yeah? Is that like? Do people call him
• 1:13:36
  that? Or did? That's what? That's what is? That's what his
• 1:13:39
  dad was called in high school. Okay, well that's better than circle K
• 1:13:43
  because that's a low class mini mark, no Special K, Special Teams Cane
• 1:13:46
  and yeah, I know. But it's also a decent breakfast cereal. So
• 1:13:50
  yes, that's true, a decent not great ist because it's it's no cinnamon
• 1:13:54
  toast crunch or Priests puff, but it's solid. Yeah, cinnamon toast crunch.
• 1:13:59
  Miss Walking Reps would agree with you on that. Hey, Tyler,
• 1:14:00
  I'm telling you right now there is no better after cereal milk than cinnamon toast
• 1:14:05
  crunch. I have to agree with you. So good and Reese's puffs.
• 1:14:10
  It's close, but it's not there. Yeah, I've never had those before.
• 1:14:14
  But what wait what, I'm not a big I can't do food in
• 1:14:17
  the morning. That's okay. Then you know what all you didn't you can
• 1:14:23
  have my milk. Yeah, that's not gross at all. And you're not
• 1:14:29
  getting my milk. Uh. And I'm gonna go a landing Downy at Meridian.
• 1:14:35
  I really like we did last week. He's a guy that could play
• 1:14:39
  all over the field deep defensively, kind of that hybrid strong safety outside linebacker
• 1:14:45
  type guy. He's a tackling machine as well. So I'm gonna go landing
• 1:14:49
  Downy. And by this point we've both picked everything, right, yeah,
• 1:14:56
  or all of the positions. All the positions have been paid, so I
• 1:14:59
  can just pick any anything here. Okay, let's go. Uh, We'll
• 1:15:01
  go kicker. And I see a lot of points coming out of Ferndale this
• 1:15:06
  week, so I'm gonna go with Phoenix Fink Bonner. And then you know
• 1:15:14
  what, I think I could be wrong here, Tyler did Joey Brown rush
• 1:15:16
  for the most yards in the county last week? He sure didd that's who
• 1:15:20
  I'm taking a quarterback Joey Brown, Noxac Valley nice. Yeah, he's just
• 1:15:26
  he's a different athlete man running the ball. Let's see here. I'm gonna
• 1:15:34
  go running back Colton Lentz. So if there happens to be an option,
• 1:15:40
  I want Colton to grab the ball out of Joey Brown's hands. Nope,
• 1:15:44
  pull it, grab it. And he's calling the plays up there? Well,
• 1:15:50
  what's that who calls the plays up there? Is it Ackerman? Yeah?
• 1:15:54
  It's TJ. Lots of quarterback power, buddy, We'll see. And
• 1:16:02
  I am gonna go with the receiver slash tight end. I'm gonna go with
• 1:16:06
  a guy that can play both those positions. I'm gonna go Isaiah Aldman of
• 1:16:10
  Lyndon. He he showed some stuff on that final drive. He caught the
• 1:16:14
  touchdown pass late, and he's just a mismatch problem. I think they're I
• 1:16:18
  think they're gonna try to feature him a little bit more on offense. They
• 1:16:21
  you know, they spread it out, tried to they went to a lot
• 1:16:25
  of different receivers. There were some good things, there were some dropped passes,
• 1:16:30
  but I think that, uh, I think Isaiah is gonna have a
• 1:16:32
  big, big game. So that's I'm going to go with with my as
• 1:16:35
  my receiver slash tight end. You know what, I don't think we have
• 1:16:40
  really picked a guy that's a true tight end, Like you know, like
• 1:16:45
  not too many teams in the county used like like they don't they don't throw
• 1:16:49
  the ball a lot to tight ends, you know what I mean. So
• 1:16:51
  it's like I feel like we haven't really picked tight ends very often. Right.
• 1:16:57
  Well, this this year it's kind of loaded at tight end. I
• 1:17:00
  mean, Raddick Duckworth is a true tight end this year. Yes, he's
• 1:17:02
  in a three point stance. You picked him last week. He came out
• 1:17:05
  great. Isaiah Aldman is if he's not lined up at tight end, it's
• 1:17:10
  because they don't have a tight end in the formation and he's split out wide.
• 1:17:15
  But he's lined up at tight end eighty percent at the time. And
• 1:17:18
  Caden Stit is lined up at tight ends like ninety percent of the time.
• 1:17:23
  So there are some dudes that are tight ends that this year it's kind of
• 1:17:27
  you know there and Maridian and Baker usually have true tight ends, but they're
• 1:17:30
  both first year of varsity guys. And and Wayne Sylvus is a first he's
• 1:17:35
  a defensive stud. But this is his first year at the y position,
• 1:17:39
  and it's kind of a you know, it's kind of off the ball or
• 1:17:42
  off the line tight end a little bit, but you know, you're right,
• 1:17:45
  it's just and Gabe hoff Van Hoffwagen has been playing some h back tight
• 1:17:48
  end and he had a great game last week. I think this is that
• 1:17:50
  this year might be the year of the tight end in Walking County and where
• 1:17:55
  we might get a little bit more Wow. Yeah, I mean it's like
• 1:17:59
  a t EU up there right, like tight End University and welcome Tec tight
• 1:18:03
  End County. All right, So I need what defense and back seven here?
• 1:18:09
  So I'm gonna go, uh, well, you know what I did
• 1:18:12
  it last year and it worked out pretty well for me. I'm gonna go
• 1:18:15
  Squalicum's defense against Seaquam. I think I had about eight hundred points against the
• 1:18:19
  Akwam last year just with the defense. And then I'm gonna go, uh,
• 1:18:25
  let's see here, I need somebody that's gonna be all over the place,
• 1:18:28
  somebody that's gonna get me some tackles. I'm gonna go Brady Brulin for
• 1:18:33
  back seven out of Mount Baker. Wait a second, here, did I
• 1:18:38
  take did I take the guys? With the two most tackles last week.
• 1:18:45
  Yes, those are the two leading tacklers in Welcome County to this point,
• 1:18:47
  Tyler, I am just not even going out on a limb here at all.
• 1:18:50
  I'm just like taking the tree trunks. Speaking of tree trunks, you
• 1:18:55
  need to pick an offensive line. So what do you got there for the
• 1:18:58
  offensive line? Yeah, Well, I'm looking at a lot of these matchups
• 1:19:02
  and it's you know, offensive. The offensive line is where you get.
• 1:19:08
  You can get huge points with the offensive line. Seems like they always get
• 1:19:12
  between thirty and fifty points. That's a big, big point getter. Yeah,
• 1:19:15
  And I think I'm gonna go with Squalacum's offensive line here. I think
• 1:19:19
  that they're gonna put up some points early and offen against the Seahawks. So
• 1:19:24
  let's go with a storm offensive line. All righty, let's run through it
• 1:19:27
  really quickly. For you at quarterback, Nolan Wright, for me, Joey
• 1:19:30
  Brown at running back, you took Colton Lentz, and I took Talent bung
• 1:19:35
  Gard. At wide receiver slash tight end, you took Isaiah Audman. I
• 1:19:41
  grabbed Andre Watson. On the offensive line, I took Sea Home. You
• 1:19:44
  took Squalicum. A couple of esses there the defense. I took Squalicum,
• 1:19:49
  and you took Mount Baker Front seven, you took Cayden State. I took
• 1:19:55
  Who did I take? Charlie Ayers? Back? Seven? You took I
• 1:20:00
  took Brady Brady Brulin. That name is a little tougher than I thought.
• 1:20:04
  Uh. And you took land In Downey And then at Kicker you took special
• 1:20:10
  K and uh I took uh. Well, I took Phoenix with a Y
• 1:20:17
  special Phoenix, Special Special Phoenix. I took special Why you took special K?
• 1:20:23
  I took? Yeah? Uh? So uh about like an axis,
• 1:20:28
  like a mathematical problem, the X axis and the Y axis. It's getting
• 1:20:31
  a little late. I know my jokes are not landing very well. Moving
• 1:20:33
  on here. Uh And a reminder, I am one and ozer in the
• 1:20:38
  fantasy so uh. If you see Tyler out of the game, be sure
• 1:20:42
  to drop off the code word get yourself a free walk. Come preps sticker.
• 1:20:45
  We got two code words for you this week, Tyler. I'm gonna
• 1:20:50
  I'm gonna give you go dogs because our guy Jake Mason, he is uh,
• 1:20:56
  he's a husky. So go dogs. D A W G. You
• 1:21:00
  better say it with a W and not d O G s. Yeah,
• 1:21:02
  if you don't say dawgs, you're not getting a sticker. Tyler, why
• 1:21:06
  don't you go ahead and tell everybody what the other one's gonna be and maybe
• 1:21:10
  give a little a little background on it. Yeah, the other one.
• 1:21:14
  So you can come up and say, go dogs, you'll get a sticker,
• 1:21:16
  or you can come up and say hashtag free hugs. Because there would
• 1:21:23
  be a lot of games when Jake Mason would get three or four quarterback sacks
• 1:21:26
  and when he'd post about it online, he would say, you know,
• 1:21:30
  had a big night last night, blah blah blah blah blah, and then
• 1:21:32
  he'd put hashtag free hugs, which was just always, you know, a
• 1:21:36
  crack up, even joking Sensus. Like, like a couple of days later
• 1:21:41
  when I hung out with him, he was like, who's this free hugs
• 1:21:44
  guy? He's pretty good? Right? I just started laughing us like,
• 1:21:46
  yeah, he's good. And by the way, joking Sensus, I think
• 1:21:50
  it's gonna be out at these games with me. What leave because missus Consensus
• 1:21:56
  is on a going on a cruise with her mom's so so he is he's
• 1:22:01
  batching it for the weekend, so he might be going out to these games
• 1:22:03
  with me. So if you see Joe consensus, tell him hashtag free hogs
• 1:22:08
  and get a free sticker. Yeah, there you go. You need a
• 1:22:12
  joke consensus sticker just in case he goes out. Dang it, Tyler.
• 1:22:15
  Now, if you come up and you offer me a free hug, then
• 1:22:18
  I have to take a sticker from you, because that's that's Uh. I
• 1:22:23
  don't know if that how well that'll work, so it'll probably on m Tyler.
