• 0:00
  Speaker 1: An iHeartRadio station. Guaranteed human. It's time for the Ocho.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: The best 12 minutes of 8 minutes of radio. Brought
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to you by the rich, complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Letter Buck. Please drink responsibly.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, happy Football Friday to you all. Yes, it is
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a Football Friday brought to you by Washington's Beef Farmers
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and Ranchers. Beef, it's what's for dinner.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: That's what they tell me.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Welcome in to this Football Friday. It's our first official
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Football Friday of the year. But we do have some
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: other stuff going on. And we're going to go through
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it in the Ocho because the Friday Ocho is a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: big part of Football Friday. And so we get to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: your eight top stories of the day heading into the weekend.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And we shall begin with, of course, football here on
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: our soil. It's all about our quarterback situation. That's the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: story we're pouring over and over and over and over.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, of course, left game number one. Five plays
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: into his season with a hip injury. we feared the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: worst at one point, or at least most of us did,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and now the Seahawks are trying to make us feel
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: better about things. Mike McDonald provided a bit of an
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: update yesterday on Sam's condition. No update, honestly, from earlier.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: But it's been positive news, so right now I think
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: we're just working through the extent of the injury and
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: then putting a plan in place to get back rocking
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: and rolling. So It is silver lining as we have
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: some extra time here. We'll kind of get things back
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: up and running on Monday, actual Monday, calendar Monday, not
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: football Monday. So hopefully by then we'll have a really
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: accurate picture of plan of attack and what we'll do
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: that week.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Is he back in the building now?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: He was back today, yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Have you talked to him to gauge the mean or
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: just kind of how he's doing?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: We've texted back and forth, but I haven't seen him,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: but I know he's here right now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Just to confirm what you said on the radio, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: said it's a muscle thing?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'd tell you more, but I don't know more. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: around here. It's around the hip. I don't think there's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a hip muscle, but there is there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think he knows more. I think he knows everything.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: And I think that makes me think that it's not
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: as bad because he doesn't seem, he's just like, yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: we're just figuring out a plan.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: We'll be fine.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Or is it worse?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I don't get that impression.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, he didn't seem happy telling us the good news.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Great news.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He didn't sound happy about reporting it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm trying not to read into it too much because
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that's really just careless or reckless when you're talking about injuries.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a little goofy, though, because when he
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: says calendar Monday, not football Monday, then I cut it
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: out because then he said, well, I guess it is
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: football Monday and calendar Monday. Either way, we're going to
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: be here. And then he talks about the hip thing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. He was being a little goofy,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: which makes me think he's not taking it too hard.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, we don't know a lot. Sounds like Coach
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: McDonald doesn't know a lot either. But the expectation is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that Darnold will miss this week's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: My best guess is that he's going to miss more
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: time than that. It would be reckless to speculate how
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: many games he would miss beyond that. But I'm going
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to do it anyway. I'm going to say that if
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you can hold out with Drew Locke, I think he
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: can beat the Commanders. I think he can beat the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Cardinals this week as well. And then I think maybe
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he's back by week four. That gives him almost a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: full month because that The game played on the 9th,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and you don't play the Chargers until the 4th of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: next month. So that's what I'm circling right now. I'd
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: feel good about that if that's how much time he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: going to miss. But there is part of me that's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: wondering if this is a— even though it's not the worst
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: thing that could have happened, like it's not career-ending or season-ending—
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: There's still part of me that thinks that maybe he's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: going to miss some significant time.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: And if he does, yeah, our schedule is in our
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: favor right now. I mean, if we had the 49ers
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: scheduled for next week, I'd be a lot more worried.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: So I think I trust Drew to get the job done.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: And I think, honestly, with this defense, he doesn't have
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: to do a lot, which is the nice thing. We're
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: not asking Drew to put up 40 points.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. So, what can we do
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: with Drew Locke? Hugh Millen was on with us yesterday,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Monday morning, quarterbacking and the such. And he talked about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: what the next few weeks could bring. You're going to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: win more with Sam Darnold, there's no question. Absolutely. In fact,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you're going to win probably a significant amount more. Because
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's better. But, can you beat the Cardinals?
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Can you go on the road and beat the Commanders?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So I think that they're feeling okay about it. Yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's about where it sits right now, I guess, to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: feel okay about it. I mean, I think even if
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he does miss some significant time, I think Drew Locke's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a good enough quarterback, good enough backup quarterback, who definitely
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: has more upside. This is not like some 35-year-old. This
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: guy's still in his 20s, and he's been a starter
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in the league before. I think that you can be
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a playoff team with Drew Locke.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Even if he has to take over for the rest
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of the season, I think you can be a playoff team,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: may be able to pull off an upset in the playoffs.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But I kind of echo what Dick said in our
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: last segment. You're not going to win as many games
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with him as you would with Sam Darnold. And you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: might not be able to afford to lose those extra
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: couple of games that Sam Darnold may have won for you.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because of the division that you're playing in, and because
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of this team's history of being dependent upon home field
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: advantage in the playoffs to win the whole thing. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I think you can be a playoff. If Drew Locke's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: our quarterback for the rest of the year, I think
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we make the playoffs at 11-6 as a wild card,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but I don't think we win the Super Bowl unless
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is our quarterback. That's how I feel.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't think that's a knock on Drew
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Locke because he is a viable backup.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: He is good at the job he has.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: But I just think, yeah, if you can't recognize there's
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: a difference between someone who's a backup and someone.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Who's a starter, then you've got your head in the sand.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Locke's had his opportunities to be a starter,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and he hasn't seized it. I mean, when Sam Darnold
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: got his chance to be a starter again, given back
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to him after he lost the right to be a starter.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And then he was given the opportunity to save it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: What did he do? He flourished with the Minnesota Vikings,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: turned it into a big contract with the Seahawks, won
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, and now he's got to be talked
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about as one of the better quarterbacks in the National
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Football League, the type of guy that can win you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, obviously. Drew's not proven that, and I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not sure he is that. But he was good on Wednesday.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Under the circumstances, he was great Wednesday night. 16-22 passes,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: 187 yards, and a touchdown. And the Hawks have publicly
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: expressed their belief in Drew Locke as the best backup
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League. But I want one
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of the best starters. Starting for me in the National
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Football League. All right, item number three, Thursday Night Football.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Last night, 49ers took on the Rams down under. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a good one. One of my favorite songs.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I really like the way it starts.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: In order to make it match up to the chorus,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I had to cut a little bit, but I couldn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: cut the beginning because you've got to have the.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Ding, ding, ding.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And you also got to hear, at least even in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the background, she took me in and made me breakfast. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you do.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: That's just a great song.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And also, one of the most hilarious results in football history.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I thought the Rams were going to go undefeated.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Idiots. What happened to all that undefeated talk? One
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in a million.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: All of a sudden, you get to Australia where the
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: toilets go backwards and you can't play football.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Highlights provided by Wes Wood, one of a 27-7 49ers
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: shellacking of the Los Angeles Rams. I don't believe a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: lot in the 49ers. When healthy, when their stars are healthy,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: obviously they're very dangerous. I just don't trust that over
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the course of a season, the 49ers stars can stay healthy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: They never do.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: And one guy got injured twice yesterday.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams... I don't think they were
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a product of hype. I mean, they certainly were a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: product of hype. But obviously there's a lot of substance
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to that hype. And I do believe that the Rams
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: are going to be very good. But I am willing
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: right now to be wrong about both.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am willing to say, hey, 49ers are better
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: than I thought they were going to be again. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the Rams are nearly as good as what they were
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: hyped to be. I am happy to be wrong about
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: both of those preseason predictions. And last night certainly was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: an indication that one team's a lot better. Now, what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: went into that result? Why did Myles Garrett not make
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a single play in the game? He had zero tackles.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Forget sacks.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Didn't make it on the stat sheet.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: No tackles. Obviously no sacks. Matt Stafford was held 155
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: passing yards. Didn't even finish the game. They fell behind
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: three scores, and they put Ty Simpson uh in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: game and so was it was the result last night
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: are the 49ers just that good are the rams not
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: nearly as good or was it that strange decision the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: rams organization made to arrive in australia late to try
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to avoid jet lag setting in And Sean McVay addressed
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it afterwards and said that had nothing to do with
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the result of this game. If I were Sean McVay,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I would say, we obviously made a mistake when we
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: chose to fly in, and that had everything to do
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: with the result of this game, and I'm going to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have a talking to with the nerds that made this
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: decision for us. Otherwise, you're admitting, we're not very good.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: They're a lot better than us. They just beat our
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: pants off.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: We were not prepared.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Do you want to make that admission? I stink now.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So I think I would blame it on the decision
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to arrive late and my players were tired and caught
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: flat-footed and played lethargic. I think that actually might make
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: me feel better about my team's loss.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I would think so.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We made a calculated mistake regarding when we should arrive
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in Australia and it caused us to play like garbage.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But final score, San Francisco 27-21. Rams seven last night.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And now we get ready for Sunday. I mean, we
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: still have NFL opening week Sunday ahead of us, which
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is one of the best days of the calendar year.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Ideal.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: If you could only watch one game at a time,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: which I know you won't. Buffalo at Houston's the best
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: early game. I think Green Bay at Minnesota, even though
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't really believe in the Vikings, is your best
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: afternoon game. And then, of course, the Sunday night game,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you have no choice. You're going to be watching the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and the New York Giants.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Which I think, if you gave me that last year,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I'd be like, but I think the Giants are going
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: to be better and the Cowboys are supposed to be better.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: So I think it'll be a good game.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see the Giants because I don't
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: think they're going to be very good. But man, they
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sure are getting hyped up too.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Well, and to be fair, when I say better, I
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: didn't think they were good at all last year. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: to be better, I just think they're going to be decent.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They should be better.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's second year. Harbaugh's there. They should be better
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: than they were a year ago. But people are getting
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a little carried away with how much better they're going
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to be. I agree. All right, let's talk some college football.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're only a couple weeks into the season.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But certainly we are going to be treated to the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: best matchup so far this year of the young college
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: football season when number one Ohio State takes on number
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: four Texas in Austin. Coach Neuheisel was with us on
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Tuesday and broke down the matchup.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Well, both are obviously much more experienced than they were
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: a year ago at the quarterback position. So I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: it can be more of an offensive game than it
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: was in the 14-7 game that we watched a year ago.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: And both coordinators will feel more comfortable taking more shots
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: down the field, which will be entertaining to watch. You know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: if you're just judging the statistics and both teams were
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: wildly impressive over in victories over Ball State and Texas State, respectively.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: But if you look at the numbers, it looks to
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: me like Ohio State has a little bit of a
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: head start in running the football and defending the run.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Texas gave up more yards than they wanted on the ground.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Will Muschamp, the new defensive coordinator, is not going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: be pleased with that. They'll be better this week, especially
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: with the excitement of a game against a team like
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Ohio State and the magnitude of the contest. But if
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I'm leaning right now, even though they're on the road,
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: I'm going to lean Buckeye.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He not only leaned that way when we got to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: his taco time pick of the week, he took the Buckeyes.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: He could have taken any game he wanted. He took
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the bucket. So he talked himself in to confidence. But
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: if you want to hear the entire conversation with Coach Neuheisel,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: we have him on every Tuesday at 9 o'clock. You
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: can do so at 933kjar. com. Last year when these two
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: teams met, a year ago plus a week, 14-7. Very
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: low scoring affair. Ashley took the under in fact or fiction.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But we'll see if we can put more points on
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the board with now experienced quarterbacks in Arch Manning. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Julian's saying it's going to be a blast. 4.30 kickoff
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: from Austin. They're expecting 100-degree temperatures in Austin, Texas. Meanwhile,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Michigan and Oklahoma are going to kick off at 9 a.m.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: tomorrow morning in Ann Arbor. Wolverines have a lot of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: proving to do after their controversial win last week. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks game will take place tomorrow night as well.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Iowa State at Iowa. At 4.30, and that's one of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: those very good rivalries. Doesn't get talked about enough about
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: how great a rivalry that is.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Although, I'm wondering, Cy Hawk, shouldn't it be Hawk Clone?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Could be Hawk Clone.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Hawk Clone, it's like, ooh, watch out, a Hawk Clone's coming.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I think the people that call it Hawk Clone have
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to attend a different party than everybody else.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I'll go to that party.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You'll fit right in.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Huskies are going to host Utah State tomorrow at 12.30,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and of course.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: When trying to make out the schedule, Pat Chun was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: feeling lonely at the time, trying to find the perfect
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: patsy to have to face in week number two of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the season, and he found something wonderful with the farmers
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: from Utah State online. Where's Jill?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: She's really lonely and out walking the cornfield again.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Do you think they will ever find.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: This true love? Not hanging out with us all day.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: We used to be lonely. Until we met on Farmers Only.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: FarmersOnly.com is the new online dating site for farmers, ranchers,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and good old country folks.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be lonely at FarmersOnly.com.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: City folks just don't get it. Well, city folk, Pat Chun,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: searching for the perfect cupcake to face. I don't think
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Utah State's, I mean, they did lose by 12 last
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: week to Idaho State. But if you're trying to find
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a team that you can get prepared for the Big
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Ten Conference without risking a loss, you go to FarmersOnly.com.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: And when you're down two running backs, yeah. Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And you find the Utah State Farmers or the Utah
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: State Aggies, as some know them. Whatever you want to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: call them. Or the Utah State Fighting Bobby Wagners, as
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I like to call them. Yes. And so that's the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: matchup Saturday at 1230 on Mott Lake. Meanwhile, the Cougs
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: are having to travel to Manhattan, Kansas. to take on
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the Wildcats. Kickoff, 9 a.m. tomorrow morning for the Cougs.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Mariners win back-to-back day games against the Texas Rangers, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: all of their offense happened within four batters, and it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: proved to be enough. Julio scolds this.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Left field, take it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Flight, gone!
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Flip the script.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Julio for three minutes.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Aaron Goldsmith on the call. Mariners TV. Ryan Healy was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in there somewhere. The Mariners were perfectoed by Jacob deGrom,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: who I'm watching right now. Five innings, 15 in a row,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: set down by Jacob deGrom. They took him out after
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the sixth. He had a shutout. He had 12 strikeouts.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: The Mariners did not have an answer for Jacob deGrom,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: but they had every answer there was. They had the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: cheat code against Jacob Junis. We just had to face
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the right Jacob.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And within four batters, a hit by pitch to Randy Rosarino,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a bleeder single through the left side of the infield
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: by Dom Canzone, a clean single by Cal Raleigh, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: then the three-run homer from Julio Rodriguez. And the Mariners
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: went from trailing 3-0 and being dominated by Jake DeGrom
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to leading 4-3. And then Gabe Spire and Andres Munoz
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: took them the rest of the way. 4-3 is the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: final score in the game. The Mariners do gain a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: game on Texas, who they trail, but not on Houston.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Houston won Thursday as well. So Seattle remains six games
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: back with 15 to play. The team travels to Sacramento.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: They will take on the A's tonight. Jeffrey Springs will
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: pitch for the A's. He's left-handed. George Kirby will pitch
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: for us. First pitch is at 640. Still alive.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yep. Barely.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Not dead yet.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Finally, Sounders and Galaxy will meet tomorrow night. Brian Schmetzer
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: was on with Softie and Fane earlier this week, as
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he is every week, and talking about the weather possibly
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: being a factor in L.A. Yeah, no, I.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Mean, the heat there is a little different than Austin
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: because it's a little more humid in the Midwest.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But, yes, Dick, it is going to be hot.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: The saving grace, perhaps.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: perhaps, is that they've.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Got to fly up to Vancouver on a midweek, play
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Vancouver on a Wednesday, come back home and play us
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: on Saturday.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: So let's see how much rotation they do. Let's see
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: which guys they.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Leave at home.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: We'll be ready for them because our guys are fired up.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: They've got some belief still.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: 7.30 is the start of that match in Los Angeles
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Sounders still have not won in forever, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: they have tied or drawed, drawn, drawed. They have played Drew.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Drew.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: They have Drew.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Drew.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: They have Drew.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Two straight matches since they added Dayon. So let's try
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to get a win. What do you say?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Dayon.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Finally, Kraken Camp starts tomorrow. Yes, hockey season is here. Wow.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Probably talk a little bit of Kraken hockey. next week.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, though, the ABCs of the M's. I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: didn't forget today. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Yes, they're
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: not dead yet.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: He says he's not dead yet.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I want to dance and sing. The Mariners are trying
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to hold on to their slim chances of getting to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And so we do invest in the ABCs
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of the M's. Where are they going to take us today?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: We left off with a letter F. F is for fired.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal reporting yesterday that Dan Wilson's gone at the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: end of the year. It's the only thing. This is
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: from Ken Rosenthal. The only thing that I can say
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: with confidence is that Dan Wilson's going to be gone
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in Seattle at the end of the year. Otherwise, some
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: other people that he was speculating about, or at least
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the interviewer was speculating about with Ken Rosenthal, he wasn't sure.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: The only thing he felt confident about is that Dan
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Wilson will not be back next year with this team.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He also mentioned that maybe Tori Lovullo would not be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks next season. especially if he
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: ends up missing the playoffs, which he very well could
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: there in Arizona. I've been asked by Softie, I think,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: five times, who do you think is a candidate to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: replace Dan Wilson next season? And I've answered five times.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Torrey Lavello, I think, is somebody of interest. I think
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: he and Jerry, I'm pretty sure, have a relationship. He
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is very well respected. He's also a players' manager, but
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I think he's a little firmer than what Dan Wilson is.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's, um, maybe that's a guy, but, uh,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's not looking good for Dan at the end of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the year. And even if you do somehow overcome this deficit,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I, I, the only way I think Dan
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Wilson can save his job, if you go back to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: back American league championship series or beyond, then yes, I'll
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: change my mind on that. Cause it's going to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: really hard despite the disappointment that we've experienced all season
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: long with this team. be really hard to let him
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: go after pulling something like that off. Uh, but I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: think anything short of that, and he's not going to return,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: even if they miraculously track down Houston and make it
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I don't think it's enough. If you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: get knocked out in the wild card round and you
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: just had a season like we've had, and you've fallen
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: way short of your goals, The goal was not, let's
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and get knocked out in the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: first round of the wild card. That was not the goal.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: You've fallen way short of your goals. I don't see
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: anything barring a miraculous run to the World Series saving
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Dan at this point.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: No, and I don't either.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: And it's interesting that somebody like Ken Rosenthal is coming
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: out and saying something as bold because you would think
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: that it wouldn't get out there since he is a
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Mariners legend and so close with the organization.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: But clearly someone's letting it out.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: G is for Gilbert and George. Can I just say
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: this now? I mean, I'm not ready to talk about
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the Mariners offseason. And I live for the offseason.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you love it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just not ready to get too far into the weeds.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people have kind of jumped the gun.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm seeing this a lot. And this is another
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: thing I told Softie. I said, don't do this. Just
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: don't do this. He and I were talking... Of course,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: we got to hang out socially and all we ended
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: up talking about was Mariners baseball.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Of course, that's not surprising.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And so I said, just don't do this. Don't be
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the person that is already trading away George and Logan
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and then acting like the team's just going to go
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: with rookies next year.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: If they do trade away Logan and or George this offseason...
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the funny thing about baseball and sports. You get
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: stuff back.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, true.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: We're not just going to trade Justin Jerry, whoever's in charge,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: is not going to trade two pitchers of that caliber.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: And believe me, baseball thinks they're special. They think they
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: still could go to another level. You're not going to
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: trade those guys away at a really cheap salary in
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: comparison to by comparison to other aces and No. 2s
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and No. 3s across the league, and not get a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: big return. You're going to get hitters in return. So, yes,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: they might get rid of Logan and George. I think
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they're definitely going to get rid of one of them
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: this offseason, but they're going to get something back that
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: plugs one of the holes offensively because Kate Anderson will
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: be in our starting rotation next year, and maybe even
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Ryan Sloan.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: So.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So yes, if you're going to play that game, if
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you want to play that game, don't do, okay, so
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: we're just getting rid of George and Logan and then
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: we're not going to add anything else. Don't play that game.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: If you get rid of George and Logan, you're going
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to get huge returns for both of them that are
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: going to satisfy some of those holes that you seem
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: so somber that we don't have filled right now for
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: 2027 on September 11th. Yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: And I mean, I don't, I don't like thinking about
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: the off season cause I don't like thinking about the
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: idea of losing George or Gilbert or, I mean, I,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I also grow more attachment, I think to these guys
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: than a lot of, fans do right i'm i want
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: to keep them all i'm like the mariners i want
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: to keep all our prospects and all our guys but
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: i mean i i get it and i and i
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: definitely think that if they're getting rid of one of
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: them we're going to get a really good return yeah you're.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Going to get a good hitter in return i mean
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be ellie dela cruz people need
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to stop.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Doing that too probably not you're probably.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Get a good good return i mean i'll give you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: an example st louis cardinals have been in on these
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: two guys it sounds like for years if you got
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: like an ivan herrera and a Josh Baez in return for...
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the area that I'm looking in. That's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: two right-handed hitters, both young, both controllable. That's the kind
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of trade it's going to be. It's not going to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be Logan Gilbert for Juan Soto.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: That's not what's going to happen. So just let that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: prepare you for the offseason.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And then stop talking about it because I'm not ready. Finally,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: H is for Houston and the potential Houston heist.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Ashley's keeping the hope alive. I want her to keep
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: hope alive. And let's think about this. Over the next
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: nine games, the Houston Astros have to face Tampa at Tampa.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Then Kansas City, which isn't the same Kansas City team
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: as the first half. They've won 16 of their last 25.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: They've gone 27 and 23 over their last 50. So
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they are playing much better baseball right now than they
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: were in the first half of the season. And then
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: they have to face the Atlanta Braves. So that's That's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: some tough competition over the course of their next nine games.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: It's fathomable, right? It might even actually be statistically on
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: point to predict a four and five stretch for the Astros.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, they might exceed that, but facing that kind
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of competition, that feels a little bit like five and four,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: four and five to me for the Astros. Let's go
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: ahead and give ourselves a little bit of hope and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: say they go four and five over that stretch. Mariners
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: are at the A's, at the Angels, and at the Rockies.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: It's a nine-game road trip, but those are arguably the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: three worst teams in the sport. Yes. It's not out
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of the question you can go eight and one.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Not out of the question.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: You just got to not do what you did against
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Oakland or the A's, wherever they're from.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: So let's say, I mean, look, we have to think
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: in these terms if we're going to talk about a comeback.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to have to have a really,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: really hot stretch.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: So let's say 8-1. That's what you got to do
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: over the next nine.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And they go 4-5. Now all of a sudden you're
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: two games back and you face Houston in back-to-back games.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: See, it's not crazy to be hanging on to hope.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Now, you still have to finish, but you get to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: finish against the Angels. They get to finish against the A's.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So they're going to have just a soft competition their
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: last four games of the year. But if you can
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: get within two?
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And have two against the Astros? Who we've dominated? I mean, that...
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: That's not out of the question considering the competition that
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: both teams have to face over the course of the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: next nine games. But you have to win at that pace.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: You've got to win at least seven, if not eight
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: or nine, in the next nine. That's what you have
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: And then hope that they lose. But the other thing is, too,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: you could tie them because you have the tiebreaker. So
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: if you could tie them, you'd win.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And even with those two games, Houston can't take that tie.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We've dominated the Astros this year. So there's your path.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Let's do it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Go 8-1, at worst 7-2, which should be feasible against
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: this bad a competition. And Houston could very easily go
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: 4-5 at best 5-4 against Tampa, a hot Kansas City team,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and Atlanta.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: And I'll be cheering for all three of them real hard.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: All right, so there's your path. Let's see if it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: can happen. Let's pull off the Houston heist.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, it's our Big Ten preview.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: We do it every week, and we need to make
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: pickups as well. which means we need a contestant, don't we?
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Or are we keeping... We have to.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see if we can track down Eric and he
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: can make the first pickup.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Let us know, yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Because I forgot to promote this. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: All right, full slate in the Big Ten this weekend.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I look forward to when this is conference season so
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: we can condense this. you know. But it's a pretty
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: long list of the schedule to have to go through.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: But here's what you got. Rutgers at Boston College tonight
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: at 4.30. And then on Saturday starting at 9 a.m.,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you have Howard at Indiana, Oregon at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: at Michigan, Penn State at Temple, Wake Forest at Purdue.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Then in the 1230 slated games, you've got UW hosting
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Utah State, Mississippi State at Minnesota, which is the featured
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: game on CBS, CBS, this weekend with Coach Neuheisel and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the gang. Duke at Illinois. How about that? That's a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: great basketball matchup. Eastern Michigan at Michigan State and Maryland
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: at UConn. And then in the 4 to 4.30 range,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you've got Bowling Green at Nebraska, San Diego State at UCLA,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Western Illinois at Wisconsin, Ohio State at Texas 4.30, Iowa
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: State at Iowa 4.30, and then the 8 o'clock night game,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: USC will host Louisiana at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. So
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Big Ten, a lot of teams in action. Nobody's on
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: by this week. And we have to make our college
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: football pickups, our Big Ten fantasy pickups in our showdown draft, which,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, our listeners, we should have never included.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: They're dominating so far.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: They're too good.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They are in the lead. Almost a hundred point opening
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: week for Eric, the listener. with his team of Kamari
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Moulton of Iowa, who had a huge day, Charlie Becker
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: of Indiana, Bo Jackson of Ohio State, and his quarterback,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore of Oregon. Anders had a great first week, too.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: He scored 87. Ashley had a great first week. She
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: had the high-point person. She had Smith. Why am I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: blanking on his best player in the country? Jeremiah Smith,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: 81 points. Points for Ashley in opening week, and Smith
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: had 37.6 of those points. And I had a terrible week.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Everything went wrong, and I finished with 52. But we've
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: got a long way to go, and every week you
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: can do ad drops, one ad drop per week, a pickup.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't think Eric, the listener, would make a pickup,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: but apparently he's already dissatisfied with his roster, his first-place roster.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Anders does have the first pick, but he has passed.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: He feels good with his group. Eric, though, is on
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the line with us and does want to make a change.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Either that or he's just trying to catch me off
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: guard and wants to make fun of me for how
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: good his team is.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's what he's doing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Hi, Eric. Hey, how's it going today?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Do you have business to do or are you just gloating?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Did you just call to gloat?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you did make me check a meaningless game in
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the TSA airport line this weekend. So I have to
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: raz you just a little for making me do that.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't much of a stat that you were
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: looking at if it was that Rutgers game.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Because my guy did nothing in that game. All right, well,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you've got the first pick. Now, keep in mind, if
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you make the pick, you go to the bottom of
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the line next week if no one else does. But nonetheless,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: with 100 points in your opening week, you've got an
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: itch to make a roster change. What are you going
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to swap– Bo Jackson out. That timeshare
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: for me is not going to work in the long
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: run because they're obviously just feeding the hot hand there.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. So he's getting rid of Bo Jackson.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: That's just sad to hear.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: It is sad. All right.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: So who are you picking.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Up?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Give me Woods, the running back out of UCLA.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Of course he's going to do that when I was
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: going to do that.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. Woods from UCLA.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Anthony Woods.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: That's the pick. Where happened to Wayne Knight? Newman from Seinfeld.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: He was supposed to be the starter, and they've already
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: ditched him for Anthony Woods. All right. Anthony Woods running
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: back is the pick.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Knight is back. Clearly their goal line guy and inside
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the 20. Woods is their home run hitter.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: So I like him to develop the yards and give
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: me those bonus points that I need. Excellent.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, nice work, by the way. I hope
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: your team slows down considerably this week, but you're off
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to a great start. So thanks for calling in. Thank
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you for your pick, sir. I appreciate it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Pleasure to help. All right. Pleasure to help. Eric, the listener.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: The listener team this year in the showdown. All right, Ashley,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you have a pick as well. What are you going
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: see how they do this week.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Are you officially passing?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I'm officially passing.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to take KJ Duff.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I thought about it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: I thought about it, but I just, I don't, I,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: he's the one bright spot on Rutgers. I've obviously, but
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I just don't know that I think Rutgers is good.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: So I don't know that I trust that that's going.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: To be a thing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: See, I would have to decide if Rutgers is now
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: just a passing team because Antoine Raymond, I have on
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: my team.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, you do.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: And I could swap this out, but Raymond was like
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: my second round pick. Am I really going to give
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: up on my second round pick this early?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: It's just too early.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I felt Duff was
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: going to be taken. I am going to make a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: move though.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, are you?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I am going to swap USC running receivers out.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to take Trent Mosley because I think
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: he just looks like a better receiver than Tanook Hines.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to make that move. And KJ Duff
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: is going to stay out there for another week after
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns and Eight catches and 188 yards last week
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and nobody picked him up.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, they had a heck of a game. And
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I was debating drafting him the first time. I just can't. Okay.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I got to get a little bit of a better
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: feel for my team.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Those are our pickups for the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: week as we get ready for another week of college
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: football in a full slate in the Big Ten. I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: can't wait. I don't even like this part of the season.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I just want to get into conference play.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Let's just be done with this. You can't trust any
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: stats anymore. Miami has 850 yards yesterday of offense and
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: three quarters of play. I don't want to play these
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: games anymore. Just get to conference play.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go. All right, coming up next, Cam Cleland's going
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to join us. And yes, the Huskies taking on Utah State.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: We haven't paid a huge amount of attention to this matchup.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: We'll pay attention to it with Cam Cleland in our
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: next segment. We still haven't gotten his first impression, his
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: book report, on what the Huskies did in their opener
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: against the Cougs last week. So we'll talk to Cam next.
