Chuck & Buck 4-7 Hour 2: Jolly Ol St Pickolas- Rob Rang, M's slow star and UNC's new hire. · Chuck in the Morning

0:03
Speaker 1: It's Smith. They have no timeouts remaining.
0:05
Speaker 2: Smith will bring it up the floor quickly from Smith
0:07
Speaker 2: on the drive to the rim, miss de layup rebound
0:10
Speaker 2: loose scooped up by Gaya, He'll throw it to the
0:12
Speaker 2: other end of the floor. Caravan tracks it down with
0:14
Speaker 2: two seconds. With one he throws it to half court.
0:17
Speaker 2: And since nineteen eighty nine, there's been a blank space
0:22
Speaker 2: in the Michigan Trumphy case. Will write their name Michigan
0:26
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six men's basketball National champions They knock
0:32
Speaker 2: off Yukon sixty nine to sixty three to win the
0:35
Speaker 2: school's second men's basketball championship, and the Big Ten sweeps basketball.
0:44
Speaker 2: UCLA wins the women's the men's goes to Michigan, the
0:50
Speaker 2: first Big Ten championship since Michigan State won the title
0:55
Speaker 2: in two thousand.
0:59
Speaker 1: Is not at all sour grape, So that should be
1:01
Speaker 1: Michigan's first title, because there's no way you were the
1:05
Speaker 1: best team. In nineteen eighty nine. Ramil Robinson was playing
1:09
Speaker 1: out of his mind. Pretty sure he sold his soul
1:11
Speaker 1: to the devil because he was a terrible NBA player.
1:15
Speaker 1: So you beat Illinois and deprived America the world, the
1:20
Speaker 1: entire universe of the rightful Champion in nineteen eighty nine
1:24
Speaker 1: that said, you were the best team in college basketball
1:27
Speaker 1: this year.
1:27
Speaker 3: Yes, well done in twenty twenty six.
1:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt about that. Westwood won.
1:31
Speaker 1: On the highlight last night, the Natty goes to the
1:34
Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverines. The college basketball season comes to an end
1:37
Speaker 1: a sixty nine to sixty three win for Michigan over Yukon.
1:42
Speaker 1: Yukon kept it tight throughout the course of the contest,
1:45
Speaker 1: played a very physical brand of basketball with Michigan, but
1:49
Speaker 1: it turns out Michigan can play that way too. Neither
1:52
Speaker 1: team shot well from the floor. It was a little
1:54
Speaker 1: ugly at times, but a team that has won beautifully
1:58
Speaker 1: all season long even proved all the way to the
2:01
Speaker 1: end that they can win ugly as well. Grant Hill
2:04
Speaker 1: said that as much last night on the television broadcast.
2:08
Speaker 1: So Michigan is your national champion in college basketball this year,
2:12
Speaker 1: and it starts our frost brewed corps like Choos Chill
2:15
Speaker 1: headlines college Football's next I mean, yeah, we just this
2:19
Speaker 1: is this is a sports fandom. The gears shift quickly
2:25
Speaker 1: immediately you start thinking about Okay, well, what's going on
2:27
Speaker 1: with the college football season?
2:28
Speaker 4: All right?
2:28
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? Jeed Fish, You're gonna join
2:30
Speaker 1: us today to talk some UUB springball at eight o'clock
2:33
Speaker 1: today and maybe a little bit of NFL draft as well.
2:36
Speaker 1: We are fourteen days away from the NFL Draft. The
2:39
Speaker 1: news yesterday in the National Football League is that New
2:42
Speaker 1: York Giants star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence is not happy.
2:46
Speaker 1: Even with a brand new head coach who has done
2:48
Speaker 1: nothing but win and John Harball, Lawrence does not want
2:51
Speaker 1: to be a Giant, or at least he and his
2:53
Speaker 1: agent are playing that that way to get a deal.
2:57
Speaker 1: We'll see if anything happens between now and the NFL draft.
3:01
Speaker 1: Cracking fans aren't happy at all with the Cracking. They
3:04
Speaker 1: lost again last night and got warded six to two
3:07
Speaker 1: by the Winnipeg Jets. There now with six games to play,
3:11
Speaker 1: eight points out of the eighth and final playoff spot,
3:14
Speaker 1: with now five teams between them and the spot, including
3:18
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Blues for goodness sake, and so things
3:22
Speaker 1: not looking good on that front. Everitt Fitzie will still
3:24
Speaker 1: join us today at eight thirty to talk some cracking hockey.
3:27
Speaker 1: It is Masters week. The major golf Challenge is underway
3:31

Speaker 1: at eight o'clock and then we will have our Green
4:10
Speaker 1: Jacket Green Jacket Draft at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. And
4:14
Speaker 1: the Mariners lost again. They've lost three straight. The Texas
4:17
Speaker 1: Rangers beat them last night two to one. They're in
4:20
Speaker 1: a skid man. You score seven runs, you give up eight,
4:22
Speaker 1: you give up two, you only score one. That's just
4:25
Speaker 1: what a losing streak. Kind of looks like they're not
4:27
Speaker 1: in a great way right now, but just four and
4:30
Speaker 1: seven on a very young season, they'll try to get
4:33
Speaker 1: things going in the right direction. Tonight, five o'clock George
4:36
Speaker 1: Kirby versus Nate Gavaldi in a battle of very good
4:39
Speaker 1: right handers. All right, finally, during this draft the season,
4:44
Speaker 1: we get the chance to chat with our guy, jolly
4:47
Speaker 1: old Saint Picholas himself, Rob Ray. All right, the little
4:59
Speaker 1: Saint pick is with us. Let me get out my
5:02
Speaker 1: pipe so I can talk to Rob like a real draft,
5:05
Speaker 1: miss host.
5:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't fake it.
5:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna fake the funk. Happy draft, miss
5:10
Speaker 1: Rob rang so good to hear from you.
5:13
Speaker 4: Good to hear from you as well. Check, thanks so
5:14
Speaker 4: much for having me as always. Happy draftness to you
5:17
Speaker 4: and our listeners as well.
5:18
Speaker 1: Yes, well, people are saying this, this draft doesn't quite
5:23
Speaker 1: have the buzz, might not have the talent. What do
5:25
Speaker 1: you say to that?
5:28
Speaker 4: Well, you know, of course I love just a draft
5:30
Speaker 4: as a whole.
5:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would argue that while this class may
5:35
Speaker 5: lack some of the flash, you know, I expect that
5:37
Speaker 5: there'll only be very likely one quarterback selected in the
5:42
Speaker 5: first round, and the wide receiver talent is good, not great,
5:45
Speaker 5: to the running.
5:47
Speaker 4: Backs are a little bit weaker. That while there may
5:50
Speaker 4: not be this kill position talent, that there certainly is
5:54
Speaker 4: a great deal of talent in terms of the lion
5:56
Speaker 4: of scrimmage. That to me is where football is still
6:00
Speaker 4: under loss. Think that the Seahawks just proved that a
6:02
Speaker 4: couple of months ago, and so I think that this
6:05
Speaker 4: has kind of become an underrated draft class overall.
6:09
Speaker 1: I want to talk mostly about Seahawks with you today
6:12
Speaker 1: in our first conversation of several before the draft gets here,
6:17
Speaker 1: but I got to ask about something that you said
6:20
Speaker 1: in your first comments, and that is that one quarterback
6:23
Speaker 1: in the first round. Do you think that ty Simpson
6:26
Speaker 1: slips out of the first round or could the Seahawks
6:29
Speaker 1: possibly factor in the ty Simpson story being down there
6:33
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the first round this year.
6:36
Speaker 4: That's certainly what Josh syers cooping for. There's no doubt
6:38
Speaker 4: about that shock. I mean, that's you know, of course,
6:41
Speaker 4: the teams are going to be encouraged by the possibility
6:43
Speaker 4: of being able to get that that fits your rookie option,
6:46
Speaker 4: and that's why that number thirty two overall selection, the
6:49
Speaker 4: last pick in the first round, is just so much
6:51
Speaker 4: more valuable than number thirty three overall, the first pick
6:55
Speaker 4: in the second round. But at the same time, I
6:57
Speaker 4: watched ty Simpson and I see a guy that when
7:00
Speaker 4: everything is great, you know, when he's feeling healthy, he's
7:04
Speaker 4: feeling protected, then then he does it like a future
7:07
Speaker 4: NFL starter, very much worthy of a first round selection.
7:12
Speaker 4: At the same time, he struggled with injury this at
7:14
Speaker 4: this past season, and once he got a little bit
7:16
Speaker 4: nicked up Jack then and he really did struggle. There's
7:19
Speaker 4: some wide open throws that he missed that are just
7:22
Speaker 4: frankly not the caliber of the NFL backup, much less
7:25
Speaker 4: a starter. In the track record of one year starting
7:29
Speaker 4: college quarterbacks going to the NFL is absolutely abysmal. So
7:34
Speaker 4: I do think it's going to be a bold general
7:36
Speaker 4: manager indeed, who is going to be willing to invest
7:40
Speaker 4: a first round selection and Ty Simpson given the talent
7:43
Speaker 4: again in this draft class.
7:45
Speaker 1: Along the last scrimmage, Rob rang is with us our
7:48
Speaker 1: NFL draft expert. We use some during our draft coverage,
7:51
Speaker 1: which is coming up here in a couple of weeks.
7:53
Speaker 1: Of course, also draft analysts for Fox Sports. He's got
7:56
Speaker 1: podcasts on the Seahawks Low, so he's always running the
8:02
Speaker 1: draft through that Seahawks filter. We love having him on.
8:04
Speaker 1: He's a huge part of our draft miss coverage and
8:07
Speaker 1: you can follow Rob at Rob Rang very simple, Rob
8:10
Speaker 1: R A n G there on X. Well, let's talk
8:14
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks perspective as they head into this thing.
8:16
Speaker 1: I saw that you wrote a recent article about twelve
8:20
Speaker 1: prospects who you think that the Seahawks might be interested in.
8:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can go through all twelve.
8:28
Speaker 1: Give me a couple from that list that you feel
8:30
Speaker 1: really strong about might end up being the thirty second
8:34
Speaker 1: overall selection or possibly an early second round selection if
8:38
Speaker 1: John were to trade down.
8:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a couple of pass rushers and cornerbacks and
8:45
Speaker 4: a few running backs. And I mentioned those three positions
8:48
Speaker 4: touches because I think that you know, anybody can basically
8:51
Speaker 4: look at the Seahawks roster and the way that the
8:54
Speaker 4: free agency went and ascertain that that those are the
8:59
Speaker 4: three positions biggest concern for the Seahawks. I must start
9:02
Speaker 4: off with the running back position. That's the one that
9:04
Speaker 4: you know, of course, you'll lose the Super Bowl MVP,
9:07
Speaker 4: and everybody is so concerned that is John Schneid are
9:10
Speaker 4: going to be able to find a running back to
9:11
Speaker 4: replace the great kids Walker the Third, And I would
9:15
Speaker 4: just argue that can't. Walker the Third's greatest game may
9:17
Speaker 4: have been the Super Bowl, that he was not all
9:21
Speaker 4: that great throughout his UH Seahawks career. I mean, he
9:24
Speaker 4: was good, certainly, But there's a running back out of
9:27
Speaker 4: Notre Dame Jadarion Price. And I know that he has
9:30
Speaker 4: been a little bit overshadowed by Jeremiah Love, but I
9:33
Speaker 4: think a Jdarem Price is going to wind up having
9:35
Speaker 4: a better NFL career. He's just a more instinctive runner.
9:38
Speaker 4: I mean, this is the guy that you know. We
9:40
Speaker 4: often talk about how that John Schneider likes to zig
9:44
Speaker 4: when everybody else is zagging kind of a thing, and
9:46
Speaker 4: that's what I see here with Jadarim Price is he
9:50
Speaker 4: just has a different level of instincts in the way
9:53
Speaker 4: that he runs the ball. He's anticipating where defenders are going,
9:57
Speaker 4: not just where his blockers are going, but where defense
10:00
Speaker 4: are going to be going. He's kind of playing chess
10:02
Speaker 4: when everybody else is playing checkers. He cuts back against
10:05
Speaker 4: the grain really well. He is a strong physical runner,
10:09
Speaker 4: but also has great lateral agility and burst. He doesn't
10:12
Speaker 4: have that leads straight line speed that can't walk in
10:16
Speaker 4: the third ad and Kenneth walking thirty round of four
10:18
Speaker 4: to three two, and this guy is more four four six,
10:20
Speaker 4: So good speed, not elite breakaway speed. But at the
10:24
Speaker 4: same time, I just really like his fit in the
10:27
Speaker 4: wide zone blocking system that John Denton offensive line coach,
10:31
Speaker 4: and certainly Brian Floory is new offensive coordinator that they
10:34
Speaker 4: are going to be using. I just think that he
10:37
Speaker 4: is a handing gloves fit check as he is available
10:40
Speaker 4: number thirty two overall, and I don't think that that's
10:42
Speaker 4: a given, but I do think he's likely to be
10:44
Speaker 4: available to three two. I think it's I laugh at
10:47
Speaker 4: the idea that he's going to be available all the
10:49
Speaker 4: way at fifty four overall. But if there is a
10:52
Speaker 4: trade down, stare Timmy Jenerian price would be they're running
10:55
Speaker 4: back that you could take in this draft class and
10:57
Speaker 4: then just not worry about that position anymore or allow
11:00
Speaker 4: Zach Sharbonnay and Kenny Macintosh and George Halaney et Cedric
11:04
Speaker 4: say Manuel Wilson, the signee from the Green Bay Packers,
11:07
Speaker 4: allow everybody else to kind of fight for the second
11:10
Speaker 4: tier option. But Jerry on Price to me has a
11:13
Speaker 4: look of an NFL belcal kind of a back uh,
11:17
Speaker 4: and I love his ability out of the of the
11:19
Speaker 4: backfield as a as a as a receiver. He's been
11:22
Speaker 4: criticized for that because the fact that you know, Jeremiah
11:26
Speaker 4: Love had so many opportunities. That's where Love is so special.
11:29
Speaker 4: But Jeneri on Price was trusted UH as a kick
11:33
Speaker 4: returner over his college career, so clearly there are no
11:36
Speaker 4: questions about his hands. And by the way, he brought
11:38
Speaker 4: back a couple of those, including a big one against
11:41
Speaker 4: usc to help Notre Dame in that rivalry game. So
11:44
Speaker 4: I just I'm in love with Jeneri on Price his game,
11:47
Speaker 4: UH adventure A couple of edge rushers. Gay Bacchus from
11:51
Speaker 4: from Illinois just checks every box. He's six or four,
11:54
Speaker 4: he's touring sixty five pounds. He's better against the run
11:57
Speaker 4: and he is against the pass. But at the same time,
11:59
Speaker 4: he led the Big Ten in sacks this past season
12:02
Speaker 4: with eleven and twenty seven over his career. He's a
12:06
Speaker 4: team captain. He's a four year standout, you know the
12:10
Speaker 4: same program. Of course, the Illinois that Devil Witterspoon played
12:14
Speaker 4: at also a Florida state native. I just think that
12:18
Speaker 4: that he is another one who if he doesn't go
12:20
Speaker 4: on the late portion of the first round, he certainly
12:22
Speaker 4: should be a top fifty selection. To me, he just
12:26
Speaker 4: checks every boxer looking forward. If you want a guy
12:28
Speaker 4: who's a little bit flashier, Zion Young for Missouri is
12:32
Speaker 4: a little bit longer, six foot six, two hundred and
12:35
Speaker 4: sixty pounds, and it's probably even more violent against the run,
12:40
Speaker 4: but he's a lesser passer and less less passer passer
12:44
Speaker 4: rusher excuse me, and six and a half sacks this
12:47
Speaker 4: past season. Check and I just don't see that initial
12:50
Speaker 4: burst to beat people with the speed rush, and then
12:53
Speaker 4: you really see it when he has to change directions
12:56
Speaker 4: and try to pursue writing quarterback. He just lacks that
13:01
Speaker 4: that acceleration to close. But he is physically violent, and
13:06
Speaker 4: I think it's one of the things that certainly that
13:10
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald and John Schneider have always prioritized. So to me,
13:13
Speaker 4: those are the two edge rushers that we're talking about
13:15
Speaker 4: at this point. If you want to go pure speed
13:17
Speaker 4: rush if you want to just replace boy Mafe's burst.
13:21
Speaker 4: And I know they only had two sacks last year,
13:23
Speaker 4: but he did create havoc off the edge and forced
13:26
Speaker 4: quarterbacks and running backs up into the pocket where the
13:30
Speaker 4: rest of the defensive line kind of swallowed them up.
13:32
Speaker 4: Our Mason Thomas from Oklahoma is one of my favorites.
13:37
Speaker 4: Casius Howel from Texas A and m is another favorite
13:40
Speaker 4: that Again, these are guys that are more in that
13:42
Speaker 4: sixty two to six three two forty five to two
13:44
Speaker 4: earn fifty pound range, but they are grease lightning off
13:47
Speaker 4: the edge, so they would fit. And finally, quarterback Chris
13:52
Speaker 4: Johnson San Diego State is one of my favorites. Keith
13:55
Speaker 4: Abney from Arizona State. There they don't have elite size,
13:59
Speaker 4: so you're not going to look for a Tarik Woolan
14:01
Speaker 4: type of a doppelganger, so to speak, but they just
14:05
Speaker 4: play such fundamentally sound football and they're scrappy. They like
14:08
Speaker 4: to play. They run as well as the pass. So again,
14:11
Speaker 4: you know, Chuck, I see a lot of natural fits
14:15
Speaker 4: in this draft class for John Schneider in the Seahawks,
14:18
Speaker 4: and that's why I'm not overly concerned about the fact
14:20
Speaker 4: that they currently only had the four selections. I don't
14:22
Speaker 4: think it's stick and pick and be just fine. I
14:25
Speaker 4: think also think that there is going to be some
14:27
Speaker 4: interest number thirty two overall, and if they're allowed to
14:29
Speaker 4: trade down, that just gives John Sider that many more,
14:33
Speaker 4: you know, chances at the dartboard, so to speak, to
14:36
Speaker 4: make this into a Super Bowl repeat candidate rather than
14:40
Speaker 4: just a Super Bowl champion.
14:41
Speaker 1: Rob Rang is with us right here on Chugging Buck
14:44
Speaker 1: in the Morning, our NFL Draft expert, right here in
14:47
Speaker 1: time for the Draftmas holiday. It's our first conversation with
14:50
Speaker 1: Rob this Draftmas season, and of course first of many
14:55
Speaker 1: throughout our entire draft coverage here at Sports Radio ninety
14:57
Speaker 1: three point three kJ R f M. Well, well done,
15:02
Speaker 1: a nice breakdown of some of the guys that we
15:05
Speaker 1: might be taking. Might be he here being taken by
15:08
Speaker 1: John Schneider near the top of the draft. So let
15:12
Speaker 1: me ask a national question. Then let me go to
15:15
Speaker 1: the actual top of the draft. What's Rob Rang feel
15:18
Speaker 1: about Fernando Mendoza? Do you have any questions at all
15:22
Speaker 1: about the number one overall pick?
15:25
Speaker 4: You know, I don't have questions or real concerns about Mendoza.
15:30
Speaker 4: I just don't know that he is the elite quarterback prospect,
15:34
Speaker 4: you know. I did one of the more enjoyable articles
15:38
Speaker 4: I did for Fox Sports here recently, is it's basically
15:40
Speaker 4: asked to compare Mendoza versus the grades I had on
15:45
Speaker 4: quarterbacks drafted in the first round for the last five years.
15:48
Speaker 4: And so this is not the number one overall kind
15:51
Speaker 4: of a guy like a Caleb Williams or even a
15:54
Speaker 4: Drake may some of the other quarterbacks that we've seen
15:56
Speaker 4: come out in recent years. But I had him rank
16:00
Speaker 4: six among those quarterbacks, right behind Jade and Daniels from Washington,
16:04
Speaker 4: who I had real reservations about durability, and unfortunately we
16:08
Speaker 4: are seeing that come to pruission here. I just think
16:11
Speaker 4: that Mendoza is a beautiful fit in Klint Kobiac's offense
16:16
Speaker 4: with the Las Vegas Raiders. I mentioned Las Vegas specifically
16:20
Speaker 4: just because it's Las Vegas, you know, and I think
16:22
Speaker 4: that's some young young millionaires could struggle in that environment.
16:27
Speaker 4: And Mendoza has kind of that squeaky clean kind of
16:30
Speaker 4: background that I think is going to make him a
16:34
Speaker 4: good fit from an intangible's perspective as well as on
16:37
Speaker 4: the field. I see obviously size, six foot five, two
16:41
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five pounds, I see intelligence, I see
16:44
Speaker 4: accuracy and anticipation. He's got plenty of arm strength. It's
16:48
Speaker 4: not a howitzer, He's not Matthew Stafford out there, but
16:51
Speaker 4: he can throw every pass that you need. I just
16:53
Speaker 4: think that the Raiders, frankly, have to do a better
16:55
Speaker 4: job of making sure that he's got some weapons around him.
16:58
Speaker 4: I know they got two tights that are spectacular, brock
17:01
Speaker 4: Bauers in particular, but Michael Myers a good player as well.
17:05
Speaker 4: I just don't that's not really been his game. I mean,
17:08
Speaker 4: Indiana didn't feature their tight ends. They featured slot receivers
17:11
Speaker 4: and big guys on the outside that can you can
17:14
Speaker 4: throw the ball up and they can go up and
17:15
Speaker 4: get it for him. So I that is a one
17:18
Speaker 4: concern is that you have to just like most rookie quarterbacks,
17:22
Speaker 4: you have to surround them with a little bit of talent.
17:24
Speaker 4: The Raiders offensive line went through some serious changes upgrades
17:29
Speaker 4: during the off season, but still same kind of thing.
17:31
Speaker 4: I mean, he's it's kind of like the Arizona Cardinals
17:34
Speaker 4: in the NFC West. The AFC West is absolutely loaded,
17:38
Speaker 4: and you know, I just think that's expecting Fernando Mendoza
17:42
Speaker 4: to come in and just be a savior for the
17:45
Speaker 4: Raiders I think is a little bit of a of
17:47
Speaker 4: a big ask, but I do think that he is
17:50
Speaker 4: unquestionably the top quarterback in his class.
17:52
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we have more conversations coming up, but
17:56
Speaker 1: I want to know in our first conversation before it
17:58
Speaker 1: wraps up, who as Rob Rang's favorite player in this draft.
18:03
Speaker 1: Not necessarily the best, but somebody that you're hanging your
18:06
Speaker 1: hat on and standing by even if others don't see
18:11
Speaker 1: what you're seeing.
18:13
Speaker 4: Well, I love that you phrased the question that way, Chuck,
18:16
Speaker 4: Thank you, because I am eager to just kind of
18:19
Speaker 4: talk about Caleb Downs the same. Yes, he is my
18:24
Speaker 4: top rated player overall in this draft. And look, there's
18:28
Speaker 4: never going to be a safety is going to go
18:30
Speaker 4: number one. I mean, that's just the way that the
18:32
Speaker 4: NFL is geared. But you know, it's just it's fairly
18:36
Speaker 4: low hanging fruit here. I mean, he was the best
18:38
Speaker 4: player on the field for Alabama three years ago. He
18:41
Speaker 4: was the best player on the field for the National
18:43
Speaker 4: champion Buck Guys two years ago. People criticize he only
18:47
Speaker 4: has six interceptions in three seasons. That's because people figure
18:50
Speaker 4: out really quickly, don't throw the ball anywhere near number three.
18:54
Speaker 4: He is the cleanest open field tackler of this draft class.
18:57
Speaker 4: He was asked to be a putt returner ten times.
18:59
Speaker 4: He took two of them back for touchdowns. So stop
19:02
Speaker 4: people stop kicking the ball in his direction, Chuck. I
19:06
Speaker 4: just think that he is a future All Pro candidate.
19:10
Speaker 4: That again, it isn't necessarily ever going to have the
19:13
Speaker 4: flashy numbers, but at the same time, he's the kind
19:16
Speaker 4: of player that makes the defense around him much better.
19:20
Speaker 4: We all saw the impact that Julian Love had in
19:22
Speaker 4: his return to the Seahawks a year ago. I think
19:25
Speaker 4: if there's a very similar type of player here with
19:28
Speaker 4: Caleb Downs in that this is the guy he could
19:30
Speaker 4: play any position in the defensive backfield, and he is
19:33
Speaker 4: not only a good athlete, he's an incredibly intelligent player.
19:37
Speaker 4: To me, he is a slam dunk top ten selection
19:40
Speaker 4: that they should wind up, as they said, competing for
19:43
Speaker 4: All Pro honors early in his NFL career.
19:45
Speaker 1: We're seeing Ey'd eye on an awful lot of things,
19:48
Speaker 1: Rob Rang. That's why you know we are two of
19:51
Speaker 1: the principal characters of the draft miss Holiday that we
19:54
Speaker 1: created here at KJR.
19:56
Speaker 4: Well, I will certainly pick that as a compliment, sure,
19:58
Speaker 4: because I certainly expect your opinion as a draft analyst
20:03
Speaker 4: radio host. And you're looking pretty good, I m say
20:06
Speaker 4: on YouTube.
20:07
Speaker 1: So how's it look. I got the pipe going, I
20:10
Speaker 1: got the smoker's jacket here. I'm really trying to get
20:13
Speaker 1: into the spirit of things. Is it working?
20:16
Speaker 4: I think? So?
20:17
Speaker 1: Okay, So okay, all right, man, Well, I'm glad we
20:22
Speaker 1: got this started. Can't wait to talk to you next
20:25
Speaker 1: week and and be a part of your life here
20:28
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks. It's going to be fun
20:31
Speaker 1: looking forward to us all check. Thanks so much for
20:33
Speaker 1: having me, all right, Rob Rang joining us right here
20:36
Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck in the morning. Uh, and so
20:39
Speaker 1: Rob's going to be joining us every Tuesday at this time.
20:42
Speaker 1: We really hit some of the big topics right there.
20:45
Speaker 1: Great stuff, great breakdown, right out of the gate, Right
20:47
Speaker 1: out of the gate. He's on his game. Jolly old
20:50
Speaker 1: Saint Peas, Missus Piccolas got him in a good position,
20:58
Speaker 1: his best.
20:59
Speaker 3: In some cookies probably Draft miss.
21:01
Speaker 1: Cookies, probably exactly that would go good with pipe smoke.
21:06
Speaker 1: There you go, a little pipe tobacco, Yeah, little little
21:10
Speaker 1: pipe tobacca cookie.
21:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, little sugar cookie and pipe tobacco yump delicious.
21:17
Speaker 1: A combo that really a lot of companies have not
21:20
Speaker 1: taken advantage.
21:21
Speaker 3: Of it, and you know they might be the ones
21:23
Speaker 3: missing out.
21:23
Speaker 4: Fools.
21:24
Speaker 1: All right, if you want to follow Rob, do so
21:27
Speaker 1: at Rob rang there on X and it leads you
21:30
Speaker 1: to all of his stuff that he's writing. He's even
21:31
Speaker 1: got an article where he traded every single pick in
21:35
Speaker 1: the first round of the draft just to be onre
21:38
Speaker 1: So if you want to check that out, you can
21:40
Speaker 1: do so if you follow Rob on X. Coming up next,
21:43
Speaker 1: the Mariners are off to a four and seven start.
21:45
Speaker 1: What state of mind are you in? I'll be very
21:48
Speaker 1: clear about mind. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
21:51
Speaker 1: R FM. BUCkies on Jed's last nerve. We all know
21:54
Speaker 1: that we figured that out the last time we had
21:56
Speaker 1: him on the show. That's right, So he's going to
21:58
Speaker 1: join us today. We'll talk some dub spring. Well, I'm
22:00
Speaker 1: also going to put a coach fish into a little
22:02
Speaker 1: bit of a draftness mood. We're gonna get some evaluation
22:05
Speaker 1: from some of the Huskies that are going into the draft,
22:07
Speaker 1: So look forward to chatting with the ball coach. I
22:10
Speaker 1: hope he wears his visor today at eight o'clock. I'm
22:13
Speaker 1: just gonna picture it, even if he doesn't have it on.
22:16
Speaker 1: I'm just I just picture him having an omelet with
22:19
Speaker 1: advisor on. I mean purple omelet.
22:22
Speaker 3: Purple omelet, like a yellow or gold omelet with a
22:25
Speaker 3: purple visor.
22:26
Speaker 4: Oh there you go.
22:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might.
22:27
Speaker 1: Gold omelet with some purple like sweet potatoes in there
22:30
Speaker 1: or something like the beat. Yeah, probably a big beat eater.
22:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do love beats, but you got to be careful.
22:38
Speaker 1: Well, the Mariners lose again yesterday, and they're just not
22:42
Speaker 1: playing well. They lost two to one to the Texas Rangers.
22:45
Speaker 1: I mentioned this a couple of times, but you know
22:48
Speaker 1: you're in a slump when your pitcher goes out there
22:51
Speaker 1: and he gives up just two runs and you can
22:53
Speaker 1: only score one. And then the previous game, your offense
22:55
Speaker 1: shows up and scores seven times for you, but your
22:58
Speaker 1: pitching staff gives up eight, and no matter what you do,
23:02
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's not enough. And that's where
23:04
Speaker 1: they're at right now. They're a scuffling team. They're a
23:06
Speaker 1: struggling team. They're a slumping team, They're a skidding team.
23:10
Speaker 1: And this happens during the course of a Major League
23:12
Speaker 1: baseball season. You just hate when it happens at the
23:15
Speaker 1: beginning of the year because you're so excited, especially when
23:18
Speaker 1: you have expectations. You just want to you can't wait
23:22
Speaker 1: to see the team that you think is going to
23:24
Speaker 1: be really good, and then your first taste of them
23:28
Speaker 1: is they might not play this badly the rest of
23:31
Speaker 1: the year. I mean, I can guarantee you this. There's
23:35
Speaker 1: no way Josh Naylor's going to finish the season in
23:37
Speaker 1: one fourteen. There's no way that Josh Julio Rodriguez going
23:41
Speaker 1: to hit one forty three, and there's no way Kyle's
23:44
Speaker 1: gonna hit one forty three and yet a four and
23:47
Speaker 1: seven record right now. That's what we're living with right now.
23:51
Speaker 1: Some sloppy defense, some sloppy base running, and the heart
23:55
Speaker 1: of the order just is not performing. And I know
23:58
Speaker 1: that it will. If there was in a track record,
24:01
Speaker 1: I'd say be worry about it. Josh Naylor has a
24:05
Speaker 1: history of being a two eighty hitter. Basically, Cal's coming
24:09
Speaker 1: off a historic season and even before that was still
24:12
Speaker 1: an All Star caliber catcher, and Julio, whether you like
24:16
Speaker 1: him or not, is considered the best center fielder in
24:20
Speaker 1: baseball right now. And so those three guys just are
24:24
Speaker 1: all slumping at the exact same time. I see signs
24:27
Speaker 1: of Naylor hitting the ball hard, you just can't find
24:29
Speaker 1: a hole, and I see Julio having better at bats
24:33
Speaker 1: here and also can't seem to find a hole. Cal
24:37
Speaker 1: to me, looks like he's off, and yet last night
24:40
Speaker 1: he runs into the one pitch that he knocks out
24:44
Speaker 1: of the ballpark, So maybe that gets him going as well,
24:47
Speaker 1: but I just don't think it's indicative of what we're
24:51
Speaker 1: going to see this baseball season. And losing a third
24:54
Speaker 1: game in a row, falling from four to six to
24:57
Speaker 1: four to seven, guess what, hasn't change my opinion about
25:01
Speaker 1: the team at all. I'm not any more convinced than
25:05
Speaker 1: the narrative that this team was overrated at the beginning
25:09
Speaker 1: of the year. I wasn't. I'm no more convinced of
25:12
Speaker 1: that today than I was yesterday. So I'm just gonna
25:15
Speaker 1: tell you I'm an it's early. Guy, it's early, and
25:18
Speaker 1: they're going to figure this out. Yeah.
25:20
Speaker 6: I think they're gonna figure it out as well. And
25:22
Speaker 6: unfortunately for Mariage fans, I get it. It's frustrating when
25:25
Speaker 6: we have a slight start because you are so excited,
25:27
Speaker 6: especially coming off last year going to the ALCS game seven.
25:30
Speaker 6: You're thinking, all right, this year, we're gonna come out strong.
25:32
Speaker 6: This is gonna be different, and then it's not different.
25:35
Speaker 6: But a slow start does not mean you're gonna have
25:38
Speaker 6: a bad season. In twenty twenty one, they started out
25:41
Speaker 6: three and four, they won ninety games. In twenty twenty two,
25:43
Speaker 6: they started out two and four one ninety games. In
25:46
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three they started out four and eight won
25:48
Speaker 6: eighty eight games.
25:49
Speaker 3: And last year they started out four and eight and
25:51
Speaker 3: won ninety games. Like you can have.
25:54
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, we just we're slow starting, have a slow start,
25:57
Speaker 6: and I wish there was a way to change it,
25:58
Speaker 6: but it doesn't have any bearing on how the rest
26:01
Speaker 6: of the season will go.
26:02
Speaker 1: Last year started at four and eight with a team
26:04
Speaker 1: that had a lot more holes and a lot more
26:06
Speaker 1: question marks and concerns than what this roster has, and
26:10
Speaker 1: so you know you had to dig out. They're always
26:13
Speaker 1: digging out of holes, and they've certainly dug out of
26:16
Speaker 1: more dramatic lost situation they did just a year ago
26:21
Speaker 1: than what this is eleven games into the year. I mean,
26:24
Speaker 1: there's just no reason to worry at this point. I
26:28
Speaker 1: mean criticized, there's reasons to be critical. Absolutely, the team's
26:31
Speaker 1: not playing well. I don't like there at bats. I
26:33
Speaker 1: think they've been sloppy defensively. I think Leo Reovas has
26:36
Speaker 1: been given this extended opportunity to show people he deserves
26:39
Speaker 1: more playing time and he's playing like an idiot out
26:42
Speaker 1: on the on the field right now. And I love
26:44
Speaker 1: that kid. He's outstanding. He's been outstanding when given opportunities
26:49
Speaker 1: in the past. But you've got to pull your head
26:51
Speaker 1: out of your butts on, you know, if you if
26:54
Speaker 1: you're going to stick on this roster, Miles Master Boney's
26:57
Speaker 1: going to be healthy at some point, and right now
26:59
Speaker 1: you're playing your way right back down to Tacoma when
27:01
Speaker 1: you were given an opportunity to show everybody you know
27:04
Speaker 1: what you can do because of injury. Right now, I'm
27:08
Speaker 1: concerned about that. This organization just I don't know if
27:13
Speaker 1: they just are cursed. They can't find guys to hit
27:16
Speaker 1: left handed pitching, and they've had all sorts of them
27:20
Speaker 1: with resumes Pollock at an excellent resume, Garber at an
27:23
Speaker 1: excellent resume against left handed pitching, even Donovan Solano as
27:30
Speaker 1: week as signing, as that was an offseason ago, he
27:33
Speaker 1: done nothing but hit left handers, and throughout his entire career,
27:37
Speaker 1: but even more recently in the last couple of seasons,
27:41
Speaker 1: ref Snyder's in the same group still doesn't have a hit.
27:44
Speaker 1: You bring them off the bench, can't get the job
27:47
Speaker 1: done in a big moment where you need him to
27:48
Speaker 1: put the ball in play, strikes out. I mean, it
27:51
Speaker 1: is just hair pulling, le frustrating to watch this year
27:55
Speaker 1: in and year out. I don't know what it is now.
27:57
Speaker 1: On the other side of things before, we're too rough
28:00
Speaker 1: on ref Schneiders and Roeblaze of the world. We're not
28:03
Speaker 1: hitting righties either. I mean, we actually have a worse
28:06
Speaker 1: batting average against right handers than we do against left handers.
28:10
Speaker 1: But we are creating a little more juice between Rayleigh
28:14
Speaker 1: and can Zone than obviously what Roeblaze and ref Snyder
28:19
Speaker 1: are and so I mean it's just there are only
28:22
Speaker 1: they are only one team worse and all of baseball
28:25
Speaker 1: right now offensively than what the Mariners are. I just
28:28
Speaker 1: am not buying that it's going to continue. And I'm
28:31
Speaker 1: not a gambler, but I'll bet money on it. I mean,
28:34
Speaker 1: for all of those that are already eleven games into
28:37
Speaker 1: the season, jumping off the bandwagon, it is just an
28:40
Speaker 1: unnecessary practice and you're just gonna have to climb back
28:43
Speaker 1: on here in the very near future. I see a
28:46
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to think that all of our predictions
28:49
Speaker 1: were sound. I just did not see all three of
28:53
Speaker 1: our best hitters hitting this poorly at the same time
28:58
Speaker 1: in any part of the year, much less us the
29:00
Speaker 1: first eleven games of the season. It's just hard to describe.
29:04
Speaker 6: Right well, And you're gonna We've brought this up before.
29:06
Speaker 6: You're gonna have slumps throughout the season. This isn't gonna
29:08
Speaker 6: be the only time this year that they're gonna have
29:10
Speaker 6: a slump. It's just frustrating to have it starting the
29:13
Speaker 6: year when you started, you know, when everybody was having
29:15
Speaker 6: such promise coming out of spring training.
29:17
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna last. I think they're gonna
29:20
Speaker 3: figure things out soon, very soon, rather than later.
29:23
Speaker 1: I think.
29:24
Speaker 3: I think in the next week, which feels like forever.
29:27
Speaker 6: Uh, they're gonna be playing a lot better, and I
29:30
Speaker 6: would especially offensively.
29:33
Speaker 3: It's just it's an aggravating thing to watch. It really is.
29:35
Speaker 3: I understand aggravating, and I wish it was different.
29:38
Speaker 6: But you know, a baseball season is a roller coaster,
29:41
Speaker 6: and as a Mariners fan, the baseball season seems.
29:44
Speaker 3: To be like a mega roller coaster. It's a higher
29:46
Speaker 3: highs and lower lows.
29:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, this roller coaster right now needs a it's some
29:51
Speaker 1: mechanical work done to it. It feels like it's not
29:55
Speaker 1: just a boring ride.
29:56
Speaker 6: Something just seems a little bit off, a little jerky
29:58
Speaker 6: as we're going up to the top.
30:00
Speaker 1: But I think we got monkey wrenches over there at
30:02
Speaker 1: Tea Mobile, and so we'll tighten a couple of lug
30:05
Speaker 1: nuts and get this thing humming again. And I have
30:09
Speaker 1: every confidence that that's going to happen. And then the
30:12
Speaker 1: last thing I had just point out on this conversation
30:14
Speaker 1: because I don't want to give these speeches every day.
30:16
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to pull people out of
30:18
Speaker 1: the quagmire with their early season baseball depression. I don't
30:23
Speaker 1: want to just keep sounding like you know, the it's
30:27
Speaker 1: early guy, even though I am one proud member of
30:29
Speaker 1: the club. I don't want to do this every single day,
30:33
Speaker 1: but I do want to just point out, and I
30:35
Speaker 1: did this earlier in the show, the Blue Jays are
30:37
Speaker 1: four and six and playing far worse baseball than what
30:39
Speaker 1: the Mariners are right now. They got absolutely crushed by
30:42
Speaker 1: the Dodgers yesterday, they got swept by the White Sox
30:45
Speaker 1: in the previous series. They even lost a series to
30:48
Speaker 1: the Colorado Rockies. Those are two organizations that have basically
30:54
Speaker 1: been the two worst teams in baseball history the last
30:57
Speaker 1: two years, and they lost five out of six games
31:00
Speaker 1: to those two teams. So if you think the Blue
31:05
Speaker 1: Jays aren't a threat in the American League, I think
31:08
Speaker 1: you're being foolish. And if you do believe they still
31:12
Speaker 1: are a threat and just going through a rough time,
31:15
Speaker 1: then why can't you apply that to your own favorite
31:19
Speaker 1: baseball team that you root for. This stuff happens every
31:23
Speaker 1: baseball season. The Blue Jays are not going to be
31:26
Speaker 1: this bad for much longer, and neither are the Mariners.
31:29
Speaker 1: Bottom line.
31:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that is the question, why can't you apply
31:32
Speaker 6: it to the Mariners. I mean also, if we would
31:35
Speaker 6: be applying it to the Mariners, if the Mariners had
31:37
Speaker 6: lost to the White Sox and the Rockies and series,
31:40
Speaker 6: we'd be saying, oh my god, hmm oh, that's the worst.
31:43
Speaker 6: Everybody would be so angry, like more angry than they
31:46
Speaker 6: are right now. We have no problem comparing it that way.
31:48
Speaker 6: We just can't compare it in terms of the positives.
31:51
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next, North Carolina's made it's coaching
31:55
Speaker 1: higher and I think there's a very interesting thing be
32:00
Speaker 1: on just who they hired that's going on there in
32:03
Speaker 1: college sports. We'll talk about in next Sports Radio ninety
32:06
Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, Chuck and Ashley with you here.
32:22
Speaker 1: We got Jetfish coming up at the top of the hour.
32:24
Speaker 1: We'll get an update on what's going on with you.
32:26
Speaker 1: Dub spring Ball countdown the days till Dog's after Dark
32:29
Speaker 1: coming up on May first, And I'm actually going to
32:33
Speaker 1: make Jetfish me a draft analyst as well. So whether
32:35
Speaker 1: or not he's in the draft miss a spirit, I'm
32:37
Speaker 1: going to perforce him there. So we'll do that today
32:40
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. Do you want to let you know
32:42
Speaker 1: Talayala Resort Casino has got a pretty fun month of

33:09
Speaker 6: of cash, You're never gonna go to circ de sole
33:11
Speaker 6: A or something like that.
33:12
Speaker 1: Again, who wants to see flexible asians fit themselves in
33:17

33:22
Speaker 3: Sign me up for the Carnival of cash every day,
33:24
Speaker 3: right right?
33:25
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's very entertaining, don't get me wrong,
33:27
Speaker 1: but I'd rather have a carnival of cash.
33:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, win given choices, uh huh, Carnival of cash?
33:32
Speaker 1: Uh much. Rather prefer the carnival of cash versus the
33:36
Speaker 1: Carnival of flexibility, right, yes? All right, Well, let's talk
33:40
Speaker 1: a little college basketball here this morning. Michigan National champions.
33:45
Speaker 1: Last night, I feel kind of rewarded. I think I
33:48
Speaker 1: watched more college basketball this season than I have the
33:50
Speaker 1: last few years, and I just felt that was just
33:53
Speaker 1: a great team and I feel like the best team
33:55
Speaker 1: in college basketball won the national championship. But it was
33:58
Speaker 1: nearly knocked off the front page is yesterday because North
34:01
Speaker 1: Carolina made its higher of their head coach, and apparently
34:05
Speaker 1: they got rejected by Dusty May during the process. He
34:08
Speaker 1: had some things to do. Tommy Lloyd and Arizona rejected them.
34:12
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they reached out to Dan Hurley,
34:15
Speaker 1: but I would imagine they placed a phone call. So
34:19
Speaker 1: North Carolina being North Carolina, I mean, if there's a
34:22
Speaker 1: blue blood, it's probably Kentucky and then North Carolina. In
34:26
Speaker 1: college basketball, I mean, many people still kind of put
34:30
Speaker 1: it on the mantle as the best job in college hoops.
34:33
Speaker 1: And yet the big names that they went after all
34:38
Speaker 1: said no. And they end up with a very interesting
34:40
Speaker 1: choice in Mike Malone, the former Nuggets head coach who's
34:45
Speaker 1: got a bit of a temper So I'm wondering how
34:48
Speaker 1: that's going to work dealing with eighteen to twenty two
34:51
Speaker 1: year olds for short bursts of time who aren't on contract.
34:57
Speaker 1: We'll see what kind of temperance that he has as
35:02
Speaker 1: a college basketball coach, having to deal with all the
35:06
Speaker 1: nonsense that college I mean, Bill self's trying to walk
35:08
Speaker 1: away from the game because he's not healthy enough at
35:11
Speaker 1: a pretty young age to continue. The Villanova coach Jay
35:16
Speaker 1: Wright left years ago and has not come back. I mean,
35:19
Speaker 1: this has frustrated some of the best to do it.
35:21
Speaker 1: And Mike Malone has yet to enter this world and
35:27
Speaker 1: now he's going to be the next head coach. So
35:29
Speaker 1: I think there's some question marks about this, But I
35:32
Speaker 1: do think it's a creative hire, and I do think
35:34
Speaker 1: he's really good basketball coach and a really funny dude
35:37
Speaker 1: with a great personality. It might just fly, Ashley, I
35:40
Speaker 1: don't know, but man, there are I think it's a
35:43
Speaker 1: very interesting hire. I'll just say that.
35:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I heard it, I was really surprised.
35:47
Speaker 6: I was like, wait a minute, like from the NBA,
35:49
Speaker 6: that guy, Like I thought, maybe Michael Malone, that could
35:52
Speaker 6: be a common name.
35:53
Speaker 3: Maybe there's another one I just was unaware of, And.
35:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in a Moses Malone.
35:57
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I just I was.
35:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, very surprised, But it'll be interesting to see how
36:01
Speaker 6: it works out. It is also I think very telling
36:05
Speaker 6: how UNC may not be thought of as such the
36:09
Speaker 6: elite program that it once was. And in this day
36:11
Speaker 6: of NIL, there are a lot of coaches who are
36:14
Speaker 6: perfectly happy where they are because they're getting paid well
36:17
Speaker 6: and they've got the money to make their team just
36:20
Speaker 6: as elite.
36:21
Speaker 1: I think that is the story here, even more so
36:24
Speaker 1: than the interesting North Carolina pivot to Mike Malone. I
36:27
Speaker 1: think that the story here is and I will apply
36:31
Speaker 1: this to Kaylin de Boor's decision to leave Washington. The
36:34
Speaker 1: story here is that, yes, Alabama's got a rich history,
36:38
Speaker 1: and yes they looked like the best program in college
36:41
Speaker 1: football and the best job to have. And yet the
36:44
Speaker 1: NIL has shocked and shook up the world of college
36:48
Speaker 1: athletics so much that I don't think that the best
36:51
Speaker 1: jobs that have been around forever may still be the
36:55
Speaker 1: best jobs. And I think you've got a really strong
36:58
Speaker 1: indication of that. All right, Yeah, you've got a great history,
37:02
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, all of this stuff, Dean Smith. And yet
37:06
Speaker 1: what's your NIL situation right now? Because these Michigan boosters
37:10
Speaker 1: are giving me money handover fist yep, and these Arizona
37:14
Speaker 1: guys have nothing else in their lives, and boy, they
37:17
Speaker 1: are really giving. And these Texas Tech Football Boosters with
37:21
Speaker 1: all their oil money, I mean, you're going to need
37:23
Speaker 1: the entire state of Alabama to have a bake sale
37:28
Speaker 1: in order to match like one Texas Tech oil boosters
37:33
Speaker 1: what he's got in his front pocket, just as chump change.
37:37
Speaker 1: And so we might be seeing a shift and maybe
37:39
Speaker 1: they get their arms around nil and that's going to
37:41
Speaker 1: change going forward. They've tried a couple of things. I'm
37:44
Speaker 1: not sure they're working. They've tried a couple of things
37:46
Speaker 1: to try to rain this in. But as long as
37:48
Speaker 1: we are somewhat living in this world, circling this neighborhood,
37:53
Speaker 1: Alabama might not be what it used to be. North
37:55
Speaker 1: Carolina job might not be what it was cracked up
37:58
Speaker 1: to be. My landscape has certainly changed. In college athletics.
38:02
Speaker 1: Why would that not touch upon what the best jobs
38:06
Speaker 1: are in the two sports?
38:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we spent earlier talking about how quickly
38:11
Speaker 6: you can turn a program around, and it's any program
38:14
Speaker 6: now in the country. It is not just the ones
38:16
Speaker 6: that we have forever thought of as the elite.
38:19
Speaker 1: All right joining us now? Are joining us? Next, I
38:21
Speaker 1: should say, is the UW football coach it's gonna be
38:24
Speaker 1: good to chat with him. Jed Fish will be with
38:26
Speaker 1: a Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
