  Speaker 1: As part of our continuing in-depth college football coverage, it's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: time for our weekly visit with college football analyst and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: former head coach Rick Neuheisel. Brought to you by Taco
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Time on your home for college football Saturdays. Sports Radio
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KJR FM.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, Taco Time has never sounded better. Good morning to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: you all.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: It's now time to join Rick Neuheisel, or he'll join
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: us here on the program. Former UW head coach, current
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: analyst at CBS Sports, and let's just face it, somebody
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: we look forward to chatting with every single Tuesday at
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: 9 o'clock.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, Coach.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: How you doing, Chuck?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Did you hear what I did last week?
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you took a week off on me. What the heck?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. And it's not a vacation.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: There's no way that you could spend five straight days
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: with an 81-year-old woman and call it a vacation. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: let's go ahead. Let's start there. It was time off
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: to be spent with family.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's what happened. Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sure well-deserved, and right now she's saying it was
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: no vacation.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, I guarantee it. Guarantee it. I probably should just
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: say family. I should probably just say family, but we
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: had a great time. We celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: New Year's, and then my mom's birthday and my little
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: sister's birthday on consecutive days.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Anyone ever done that before?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Well-earned. You know what? You may be starting a trend.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: You may be starting a trend.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Pretty sure I'm the first person to ever do that. But, no,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: it was great, and it's good to be back. So,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: sorry I missed you. We've got a lot to catch
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: up on. Let's talk about tonight's college football playoff rankings.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Who should be No. 1 on Rick Neuheisel's poll?
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, it'll be Georgia. And I think the way they
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: played in Oxford this last weekend– That's fair enough. Kirby Smart,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: for whatever reason, he is connecting with this team more
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: than the last couple. And they are on a seek
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and destroy mission, which is the way he played, which
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: is the way he coached when he was a defensive coordinator.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: And they're listening. It's kind of fun to watch. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: was not fun if you were a hottie hottie fan,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: but it was it was a one sided affair.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So what do we make of these two undefeated teams remaining?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Utah's just steamrolled everyone, and UCLA's got to be one
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: of the most impressive stories of the last five years.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, to turn it around as dramatically as Bob
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Chesney has, how do we need to view them right now?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Haven't lost a game yet this year, but obviously a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: lot of people believe they've got more proving to do.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Well, they authenticated themselves this last weekend. You can say
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: what you want about softer schedules, and they don't make
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: these schedules themselves other than the non-conference. But Utah beat
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: a very good BYU team and beat them soundly and
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: did it in front of a home crowd, which was
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: fun to watch. And UCLA went on the road and
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: played in 40-degree weather and won a game doing a
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: little of everything that we've seen thus far. They ran
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the ball well. That Wayne Knight kid scored again. That's
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: 10 straight weeks or nine straight weeks that he scored
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a touchdown. They played good defense. Their defense travels. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: this Diepenbach, Ty Diepenbach, has been outstanding. He and this kid, Mizell,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: had two 75-yard touchdown connections back-to-back that kind of put
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the game out of reach. So, listen, say all you
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: want about UCLA and soft schedule. Don't tell it to
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Bob Chesney and this team because all they're doing is
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: beating everybody that's on it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, and Indiana, with their turnaround, They were getting
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of NIL. From what I understand, Chesney's not
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: really rolling in money at UCLA. This is a 3-9
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: team that's 9-0 right now. Has he run away with
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Coach of the Year awards?
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Well, there's no question he's the coach of the year,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: but Morgan Scali is definitely right there with him. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: what the two inherited is quite different. Listen, Bob Chesney
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: brought a bunch of guys. This is very much a
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Cignetti story, but not because they're both from James Madison.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Both were culture builders at small colleges. figured out exactly
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: how they wanted to run programs, got to James Madison
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and benefited from the fact that JMU has the most
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: resources in the Sun Belt. And because of that became
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: stories because they were this team that had great record
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and got the attention of the college football playoff committee
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and both made it to, Signetti got within an eyelash
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: of making it to the college football playoff or the
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: New Year's Day Six. Chesney actually made it to the
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: college football playoff. Both went places where they were desperate
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: for a winner, gave them a lot of the resources
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: that they asked for in that negotiation when they had
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: a little bit of leverage. And then both have delivered
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: while bringing people from James Madison to kind of help
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: build the culture in the new location. And they're, they're
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: absolutely giddy and in Indiana. And I promise you at UCLA. Now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: now what's important at UCLA Chuck is they, they embrace
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: this and they realize how lucky they are to have
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: what they have. And they finance him so that he'll
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: stay because he's going to be coveted elsewhere. And if
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: UCLA doesn't change their investment in football, well, Then it
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: will last forever.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Does Mario Cristobal have a beef with the call at
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the end of the Notre Dame game? Seems like we
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: can't get through one of these big games without some
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: monstrous controversial call.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: It's emotional. No question about that. And I understand why
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Mario was upset. But no, the answer is no. When
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: you're completing a catch, there are three elements that have
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: to take place. One is control of the ball. Two
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: is feet in bounds. Both of those elements were satisfied.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: The third one is make a football move. Now, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: asked an official over the weekend, do you have to
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: make a football move when you're in the end zone?
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: He said we had had that discussion as the guys
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: who were in charge of calling these penalties. And there
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: was a thought that maybe in the end zone, all
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: it took was the first two elements. He said, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: instead of trying to do that, we just decided to
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: keep it constant. So the football move, had he taken
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: the ball and tried to take it away from somebody
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: reaching at it? then that would have been a football
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: move and they would have satisfied the third element. What
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: we get confused by as viewers is we watch these
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: things in slow motion. And if it's bang, bang, it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: not control. And if you watch it in real time, bang,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: bang is basically what happened. And that's why they called
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: it incomplete. Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: You've been talking to Gene Staretor too much, I think.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's what.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I picked up. Well, I'm trying to, because I'm with you.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: What do I need to know more about this? You know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: surviving the ground and all this stuff. And how many
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: steps does he have to take? They are not about steps.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: They are about, did you make a move that showed
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: us you had full control and he did not? So
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that's why the past completion was called an incompletion.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Right, right. I like Julian's saying. I think he's a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: good quarterback. I think he's impressed me since the first
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: time I saw him, really. But how could he be
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: this valuable to this team with all of these weapons
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: that they went from what looked like the best team
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: in college football two weeks ago or three weeks ago
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: to him going down, and now they've been blown out
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: in back-to-back games.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, is he really that good?
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know that Julian's saying is that missed or
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: another portion of the offense is missed that Luke Fahey
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: hasn't grasped yet. What has cost them in the last
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: two games was not a malfunction of the offense. What
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: cost them in the last two games was an absolute
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: loss of intensity defensively. too many third and longs, too
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: many missed tackles, and Ohio State has looked pedestrian on defense.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's just the facts. I know the fake
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: punt had a huge deal in terms of momentum, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: you're in front of 100,000 people, and all you've got
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: to do is go out there and score and tackle,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: and it just didn't happen. And it's... It's kind of
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: hard to watch when you've kind of seen a program
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: be as consistent as Ohio State is over the years.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: They've given up the rope a little bit.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: It'd be weird if they don't make the tournament. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: right now, there's a very good chance they're not going
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to make the tournament.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Not a very good chance. It's almost a certain chance
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: they're out. Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Well, how about that? College playoff, not next year, though.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Next year, I mean, hell, they could be four and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: five right now and still get into next year's.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Next year on your holiday vacation, you go Christmas, New Year's,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and all the 24 teams in the CFL. and you're
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: that little family gathering.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I know you like going to the 2014.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Do you like the aspect that the conference championship games
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: are now gone?
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I think you have to think of it in this perspective. Remember,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: When I played, there was no such thing as a
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: conference championship. That's a made-for-TV thing, too. All of this
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: is made-for-TV because they knew they could make some more money.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: We have realized that this is really, really entertaining stuff.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: And we take it to the highest bidder, and the
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: highest bidder says, OK, here's what we'll pay you. But
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: when you look at what ESPN really paid— They didn't
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: pay that much. What college football needed was more opportunity
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: so that for the next five years, and I want
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you to think about this, this deal, every other CFP
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: deal was a 12-year deal. This is a five-year deal.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: It's till 2031. And that's when the ESPN deal with
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the SEC lapses. That's when the ones with the Big
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Ten lapse. This is just a get us to that
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: portion of Allow us to go to our boosters who
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: are going to be funding this as we keep the
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: numbers exploding as to what we're paying the players. Now
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: we can at least sell opportunity to get to the dance.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: And if we can do that. We can keep this
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: thing going, and we'll have figured out collective bargaining. We'll
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: have figured out who's in and who's not playing for
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: the big prizes, what the economic structure will look like.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: And then we'll have some more answers on all these
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: fronts by 2031. This is a stopgap so that these
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: athletic departments can survive for the next five years.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to trust you. I'm going to
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: trust you. Rick Neuheisel is with us, joins us every week.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: A segment brought to you by Taco Time, talking about
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: college football. Brett Bielema from Illinois says, if we were
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: in the SEC, we'd be ranked 15th in the country
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: with their 6-3 record, and now they get ready to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: face and prove that against UCLA on Friday to get
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the weekend started. Do the Illini have a chance to
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: ruin this perfect brewing season?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: They have a chance, but I'm not going to go
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: against my Bruins given the fact that they have played
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: so consistently defensively and they can run the ball. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if Diepenbach had a bad game. I mean,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: that happens to quarterbacks, but they've been so wildly consistent defensively.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: And given that this is UCLA versus Illinois in the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Rose Bowl, given that it's only 42 years ago that
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I got to play in this game, I'm going to
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: say UCLA wins it just like they did back in 84.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, you were in that game, Mike White.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Was it Champagne Tony Eason?
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: It was– no, Tony was gone. It was– Jack, uh,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Jack Trudeau, Jack Trudeau. Yeah.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Friday night's going to be Rick Neuheisel night. You got
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Colorado playing that night.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You got this. I think the San Antonio gunslingers are
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: in action.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: We just got to get UW rescheduled to Friday and
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: it's going to be Rick Neuheisel night.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Can we invite your whole family over and we'll just
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: have five careers of Neuheisel all on the same day?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: They would love that. They would absolutely love that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get to some of the other games
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: here on the Saturday schedule. It's very strange that USC
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and Indiana could ever be bed partners, but welcome to
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the new world of college football. And this actually, the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Jekyll and Hyde season of USC will continue against the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Indiana Hoosiers, who despite not looking nearly as dominant as
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: they were a year ago, are sitting there with an
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: 8-1 record.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: What do you think comes from this one?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: If SC can play as frenetically as they played against
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Ohio State when clearly their backs were against the wall,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: they can beat Indiana. But if they go in there and,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: you know, thinking about a long plane ride and what
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: time are they going to get back the next day,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: they're going to get beat like they got beat in Wisconsin.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Because Indiana just doesn't beat themselves very often. They just
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: don't do it. And so I'm not exactly sure which
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: way I'm leaning on this one. I kind of feel
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: like there's so much more skill on that SC side
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: that I should take them. But Signetti finds a way,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: doesn't he? He just finds a way. So this one's
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: a toss-up right now for me.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: What about Utah versus Arizona? I think we're all believers
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: in Utah. Should we start believing in Arizona a little bit?
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: You know, Arizona had a chance to win our hearts
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: when they went to Texas Tech and got a chance
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: to play the Red Raiders in Lubbock. They didn't get
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: it done. They gave up over 300 yards rushing. They've
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: got a dual threat quarterback coming in. As much as
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I like Brent Brennan and want him to win, I
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: don't think it's going to happen. I got to take
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: the Utes in this one.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Always loaded with SEC action. Three different top 25 matchups there.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: What happened to Kentucky last week? Just a bad matchup
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: against Tennessee, or were we operating with fool's gold there?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I think Tennessee is one of the best teams in
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the country on that defensive front. And certainly they can
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: run the ball. They're the top rushing team in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: SEC as well. Just absolutely a dash in teams. If
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: George McIntyre, their freshman quarterback, I guess redshirt freshman quarterback,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: comes along and can get a little bit more consistent
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: here towards the end of the season. They've got A &
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: M this week. They've got Texas next week. No, not Texas.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: LSU next week, and then finish with Vanderbilt. They're going
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: to be a playoff team, and not only a playoff team,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: but maybe a playoff team that can win it. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I kind of like Tennessee in this one.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: What about Texas versus LSU? Is LSU out like Ohio
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: State with their 6-3 record?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin is coaching his way out of this thing.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: They went 0 for 4 on fourth down last week,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: and one of them was a ridiculous fourth and 10
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: from his own 20 with 11 minutes left and the
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: game still in the balance. I don't know if it's desperation,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: but he messed with happy. The facts are, though, that
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: if he wins this week against Texas and then wins
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: next week at Tennessee, he can get back in. So
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you can't count him out. But I think Texas gets
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: him this week. I think Lane has kind of lost
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: his mojo, and now he'll probably go too conservative like
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: he did against Kentucky, not going for it on fourth
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: and one at the end of that game.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't wait until he tries to get the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: UCLA job in the offseason.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: It's like a guy in Vegas holding the dice and
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: not knowing whether to go pass or don't pass. He's
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: lost right now.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Well, he's probably looking for his next job. It's probably
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: what he's spending his time doing.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Well, let me get your thoughts on UW. I saved
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: them for last.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not surprised Jed went back to DeMond Williams.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of Husky fans are upset by
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that for a lot of different reasons. But I'm not
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: surprised that that's the decision. I think that they're kind
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: of a married couple at this stage. And maybe they'll
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: get a divorce at the end of the year. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: do you think that at the end of the season,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: looking back at it all, that Jed's going to have
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: some regrets being so loyal to DeMond Williams Jr.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I understand that DeMond had come off the bench and
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: saved the day against Nebraska. And so.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I guess it was romantic thought that he would come
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: back and be the answer again in the game against
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Penn State. But when they got way behind, I thought
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: we were going to see Elijah Brown come off the
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: bench again. And if you had done that, it could
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: have maybe been a similar kind of performance as he
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: had against Iowa, which against Penn State might have been
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: enough to get all the way back in. I don't know...
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: obviously there's an economic factor here. He's paying demand a
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: lot of money. Uh, he loves demand in, in what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: demand skillset can bring, but for whatever reason, there's been, uh,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: a disconnect in terms of productivity. And I don't see
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: demand wanting to stay at Washington. I think demand is
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: going to want a new fresh start because he's going
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: to start thinking people don't like him based on all
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: this acrimony out there. And, uh, If I were Jed,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I would be very seriously getting the thought of Elijah
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: going back in the game and getting this offense back
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: as a fully functioning offense.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: LSU came knocking last year. Is he going to have
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: that big of a program coming after him if he
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: does leave?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: There will be suitors. There will be suitors.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Miami.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Miami's got a, you know, they're doing rentals. LSU. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: don't know if Sam has another year. Levitt. But they'll
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: be in the marketplace. DeMond will have a market. And
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: it might be good for both to move along, given
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: what has transpired.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: All right. Do you have yourself a taco time pick
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: of the week? I rather enjoyed your taco time pick
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: of the week last week. So let's see if we
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: can match it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Georgia got busy and got it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Done, didn't they?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: We're going with Tennessee. I like this Tennessee team. They're
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: on the road at Texas A & M. Texas A &
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: M is on the struggle bus. Tennessee is only a
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: two-and-a-half point favorite. I just think their defense travels, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: if McIntyre can play at all, they're going to find
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: a way to give the Aggies yet another loss and
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: keep this playoff run going, getting ready to come back
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: and defend the home turf against LSU.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Sounds great. Thank you very much, sir. We appreciate it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Always fun having you on. Enjoy the football weekend, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: we'll do this again next Tuesday. Maybe I'll sprice it
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: up with maybe a holiday. Maybe we'll celebrate St. Patrick's
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Day next Tuesday.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: You're the best, my friend. Enjoy the week. All right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Rick Neuheisel joining us right here on Chuck in the Mornings.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, I know what you've got. You've got
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: yourself a thirst.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: A thirst.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: A thirst for Anders Hurst on Sports Radio 93.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: When John Schneider was discussing the Quentin Nelson trade, he
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: said that Neil Kosla was the quote-unquote point man on
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: this trade.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know what involvement point man means.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: But considering that this is as far as we've ever had,
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: at least in my lifetime, a Seahawks owner be involved
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: in a specific trade... This is kind of something that
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: worries me about the Seahawk ownership, about how involved they
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: are in the football operations. One of the things I
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: think a lot of people in Seattle really liked about
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: Paul Allen was, hey, I will give you what you
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: need to do your job, but I'm going to have
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: hands off and let you do your job.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: And I'm not saying I don't like the Quentin Nelson trade.
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying that. you know, this is going to
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: be a loss for the Seahawks. I'm not even saying
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: that the Costas will be bad owners. I'm just saying
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: this is something that is going to be new territory,
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: and I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with it, depending
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: on whatever John Schneider meant by Neil Costla was the
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: point man on this trip.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the problem. I think it was probably tongue-in-cheek.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: You think so?
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any way that John Schneider, top
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: executive in the National Football League, is going to let
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the son of his ownership group have any kind of
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: influence over the moves. I think what he might have
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: said was that maybe Neil Kosla came to him and said,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: what about Quentin Nelson? And from that point, they pursued it,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: and maybe Kosla was like, I really like him.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Let's go get him.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe he said something like that, and John Schneider was
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: just trying to like, hey, this guy, I like Nelson.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: He likes Nelson. He knows something about football. He's just
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: trying to throw his new owner a bone. I don't
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: think that Neil Kosla has anything Any influence. Like, zero
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: influence over whether or not John Schneider's going to pursue
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: a trade.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if I see it that way.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: I see it as he— because he had his hands involved, reportedly,
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: with the Niners and who they drafted when he was there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: He put this whole model together about— Who did he draft?
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Give me some names.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: No, I mean, he talked about it in his introductory
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: press conference, that he put together this whole model for
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: how the Niners— um uh you know draft players and
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: and value draft picks uh all these things and that
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: he was involved in supposedly when he's with the niners
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: so again i don't know what that means and i
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: do also now remember as i'm talking about it remember
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: when right after the john schneider made the trade for
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: quentin nelson he did tweet out the picture of john
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: schneider with the red eyes like he knew a he
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: knew was coming obviously i'm not saying that's anything different
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: but just the fact that you know, there's some sort
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: of connection there.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I think he's a football fan that likes to be
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: involved in the process. And probably it was just like
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: he was in San Francisco. Even Coastal said about that, like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they ever really used it or
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: took it seriously, but I think that he kind of
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: wants to be, but I think he also recognizes, I'll
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: just say it. John Schneider's on such a heater. There's
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: no way that he's going to be listening to the
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: son of his brand new owner.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Even if it's his boss? Even if it's his boss.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Not at this stage in the process.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I hope that's the case. I really do.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Because if there was anything to that, I would feel
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: pretty uncomfortable with that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: And I get it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: There are a lot of ownership groups across sports that
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: are like this.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: And it's just kind of.
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: And this is how it is, but we've just not
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: seen that here in Seattle. It's been very hands-off. He's
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: not even standing on the sideline with headsets on. I mean,
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: how serious.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Really is he to get to know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: How to play?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Great point. And you know what?
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: I'll just end it with this. If the Seahawks win
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: two or three Super Bowls, let him do whatever he wants.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: If it's helping, it's not hurting. I don't see the problem. Well,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: the new owners came in after the Super Bowl. Like
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: I said, it's been a less successful season than last year.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: If they're successful, well, we'll see how the season ends.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: If they're successful and he's having conversations with John.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: I could care less.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: My guess is he's just a, he's really turned into
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: a big football fan. He likes to kind of be
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: a part of the process. He probably, maybe he did
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: say at some point, like, I really like Quinn Nelson.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: And that's probably about as far as it went. Like
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: John hadn't thought of Quentin Nelson yet.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, true. I don't think that was the case. But
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: now that he's injured, there's the whole damaged goods discussion
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: as well. Was there any sort of like, oh, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: Neil Koslow really wants this guy, so we've got to
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: push this through, even if our physical would have maybe
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: not passed him, since now he has to get this procedure.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I guess I can't say definitively that he had... He
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: didn't have a major role in it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I guess I can't say that, but I would be gobsmacked.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: If John Schneider's like, hey, Neil Koestler really wants Nelson.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: We've got to go get him. That seems like fiction
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Again, I don't know either, but I see it as
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: maybe slightly more of a possibility than you do.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: Let's continue with the Seahawks here. Drew Locke and his success.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: Now, everyone, we've talked about the– You know, quarterback controversy
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: or lack thereof between him and Sam Darnold. There's multiple
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: reasons why Drew Locke has had more statistical success than
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Sam Darnold has this season, whether it's him facing the
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Cardinals twice, whether it's he actually had a running game
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: and Sam Darnold did not. I think there also is
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: an element to. You do see a little bit more
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: cohesion between the way Drew Locke is operating the offense
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: and the way with Brian Fleury. And a lot of that,
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, comes from the preseason. Drew Locke was
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: started every preseason game. If you guys remember, and Sam
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: Donald did not play a single snap in preseason. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: think that has led to the like. I'm not saying
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: Drew Locke's been better, but it looks like a smoother
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: operation with what Brian Fleury is trying to do with
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Drew Locke under center than with Sam Donald.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I think the only way it looks smoother is because
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: he hasn't turned the ball over. And so it just
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: on the surface looks smoother. But he also scored 17
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: points against the worst defense in the National Football League,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: 13 against a Patriots team that couldn't get out of
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: its own way and was consistently handed good field position,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: and was at 7-7 at halftime of the first Arizona
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Cardinals game. Let's see Drew Locke face an actual good
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: team that's functioning well, and let's see if it still
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: looks as smooth I think he's done a terrific job
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: under the circumstances, and certainly the lack of turnovers is
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: eye-popping compared to the gross amount that Sam has accrued.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: But I'm just, I don't know, maybe I'm in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: vast minority on this. I'm just not seeing much of
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: a difference between the two other than the intercept. I mean,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Drew even threw an interception-worthy play.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he does.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Sam's just got caught against the commanders and went
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: there with the distance. He threw it right into Xavier
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: and Collins hands, Xander Collins, whatever his name is. Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: And I, there are some differences that besides just the
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: turnovers for me with drew lock, like he's hitting check
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: downs more often. That's why we saw price get more
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: involved in the passing game.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Taking more of what's given to him sort of thing
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: versus Sam Donald's, you know, willingness to push the ball
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: down the field. I think that adds a lot to
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: it as well. I'm just saying, I think that's a
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: factor in, in everything. There's the preseason kind of experience
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: he's had with him. One last thing before we go here,
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Mauricio Pochettino, the U S men's national team coach supposedly
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: is the favorite for the Manchester United job. For me,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: this is a kind of, I feel conflicted because Manchester
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: United is my favorite club soccer team, but it's also
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: the coach of the U.S. men's national team that might
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: be leaving the U.S. men's national team to go take
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: the Manchester United job. It's not confirmed yet, but there
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: are heavy, heavy rumors that that is going to happen.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: So that's your little five seconds of soccer that people
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: think is five seconds too much.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: So you like him?
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: I like him a lot. Yeah, I really like him.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: He's Argentinian, too, so that helps.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Well, it just depends on what do you like more,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: your country or your favorite soccer team?
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: I think for me, I would be on the sadder
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: side because I want him to stay with the U.S.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: men's national team, but If that's where he's going, okay.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, believe me, that is not a shot.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I understand.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Because I don't even want the WBC to even be
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: around anymore because of what it does to the Mariners
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: every time that we have them.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: It is true.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: All right. Coming up next, we'll close out the show
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: with one last thing on Sports Radio 93.3 KT.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: All right, final segment of the radio program. We'll get
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: to one last thing in a moment.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I do want to let you know Tulalip Resort Casino
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: is waiting for you. The lovely Tulalip Resort Casino DraftKings
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Sportsbook where all the action, well, it never stops. Get
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: in on the action and bet on your favorite sporting

  Speaker 3: event at the DraftKings Sportsbook at both Tulalip Resort Casino

  Speaker 3: and Quilsita Creek Casino where the action never stops. Tulalip
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Resort Casino where you get more of everything. All right, Anders,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: what's your one last thing today?
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: I'm a jersey guy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: I know a lot of people aren't in the sports business,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: but I am. I love wearing jerseys. I like collecting jerseys.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: And in my opinion, I've been kind of really debating
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: this in my head recently. Which sport has the best
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: looking jerseys?
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: What sport? It's hockey for me.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Hockey?
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sweaters, I guess I should say. They're not technically jerseys.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: But I don't know. Just whether it's the.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: The big logo in the front instead of a number, right?
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: But then you get like kind of the small designs
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: around the kind of accents of the jersey. But there's
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: also just the iconic, we don't change a thing about
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: our jerseys, like the Montreal Canadiens. The New York Rangers,
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: I think, may have the best jersey in all of sports.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: Just the Rangers down across the diagonal. And the Kraken,
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: even the new teams like the Kraken, I think they're
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: um color combo is elite um they're they're jerseys that
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: are like um besides the regular jerseys are fantastic and
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: i just think it's it's a home run uh so
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: hockey jerseys are the best jerseys in all sports okay
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: i will die i will die on that grave okay
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: die on that hill.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah i mean i i think they look great i
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: really do uh the only thing about them and like
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: nfl jerseys is sometimes they're just if you get like
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: one a really nice one they're so bulky they are
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Like a baseball jersey doesn't feel as bulky. True.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: But I also am a fan of things that you
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: can wear, like a sweatshirt underneath if it's cold, like
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: it is in hockey arenas.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: But you can still have the jersey on the outside.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: So it's perfect.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: My favorite jersey is a Greco-Roman wrestling onesie.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I like turkeys the most. Okay. That's what I like
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to go with. Okay. When I go to the bar,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: just throw on a jersey real fast.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Does the conversation start.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: A little bit? Oh, boy, is it. Oh, boy, is it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Panty dropper is what it is.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Many people say that they own it as well.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: No, I don't get a lot of that. That's what
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: makes me stand out.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now everybody's wearing their hockey and their football jerseys,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm just rolling in there in a Turkish onesie,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: slaying all the ladies.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Kid, what do you got for your one last thing?
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Surprise, surprise. The Warriors have come out to play.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They're 8-3.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: They look good. But that's not what I want to
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: talk about.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys even saw the game.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: But Jimmy Butler, he is probably the most funny guy
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: that no one would think is the funny guy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: But he's hilarious.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: So last night during the game, he dressed up and
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: looked just like all the coaches. Had the long sleeve on,
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: sitting there like he's a coach. And then he drew
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: up a play. And the play was simple. Pass the
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: ball to Steph. And he wrote that on the clipboard.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: And then he showed the teammates. He was like, hey, guys,
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: this is the play. And just watching him just have fun.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: I know he's out with an injury, but his team's
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: playing well.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: They're 8-3.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that? He's going to return in January.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: So assuming they can maintain this pace.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: And be a top four seed, fifth seed in the West,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: that's a very good– that's an interesting team that we
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: didn't even.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Draft in our NBA drafting. I know.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Should have picked them over the Heat.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: It's funny that Jimmy Butler's having a great time, and
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: it's also like, wow, they're playing good basketball right now,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: and Steph is still lighting it up.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: So good on the Warriors.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Quick answer. Celtics or Sixers tonight?
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: I will take the Sixers.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Brown or Tatum? Who scores more?
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Brown's going to drop probably 30.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Who's more likely to get punched by the other?
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Tatum's going to get punched in the face. I see
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: where your allegiances lie here. Sixers, Brown's going to be better,
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: and Tatum gets punched in the face. Tatum is just
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: a nice guy. When have you ever seen Tatum upset?
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: But he's a baller.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: He's a baller.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: He's a better player than Brown.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: But Brown is like the guy that will– he won
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: the fight in bead last year. That's the type of
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: attitude he brings.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I'll close my one last thing.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow it is here, my crystal ball forecast. Oh, I
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: can't wait.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: For the Mariners offseason, something that we do every year.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: The difference between mine and everybody else's that does one
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: of these roster outlooks is that I actually stay at
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the Mariners budget. I don't fantasize about this is the
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: year they're going to increase their payroll to $ 280 million.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: So I'm actually going to keep it exactly where it
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: was at the end of last year, and I have delivered.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: This team is going to win. Some games this year.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: You're going to love this.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: You're going to love what I've done.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: So we're going to go over it tomorrow on the
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: radio program for a portion of the show anyway.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, though, it's Greg Bell.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: It's also Jessamyn McIntyre wearing her Kraken jersey.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: She believed it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: That's Jersey sports. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
