• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Cam Cleland joins us today. Cam, how are you doing
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: this morning?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm doing good. How's the sit-in going? How's the
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: big show going? You get to hold the big mic,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: and it's kind of a big deal.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is kind of a big deal.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I'll never fill the shoes of one Charles Powell, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I'm just keeping his seat warm, so to speak.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, this is when you get your shot, right?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: You've got to shoot your shot and have a little fun.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Interview big, dumb redheads on Wednesday. See what you got, man.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: It's the best that I can offer you. I hate
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: to bring those ratings down, but here we go.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: No, they're going up every single time. In fact, all
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of the ginger population here in Seattle just is waiting
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: for this moment every single.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Pins and needles. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: So how was the trip to Lincoln? Was it as
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: big and like.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Is that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Of all the trips you can make during the season,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: it seems like that's kind of one of the ones
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you circle, right?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I think so. I mean, you look at a place
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: like Lincoln. I mean, when I think of college football,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: and I'm noticing it more and more now that we're
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: in the Big Ten. When I say Washington, it's small-town
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: college football, and Lincoln's not really a small town. It's
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: still a big city. Right. It's everything there. I mean,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the whole city from when we landed, I mean, everybody,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: you just saw red everywhere and it happened. It was Halloween.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: So everybody was out in the town. Um, the students
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: were around the stadium was great. I mean, they're getting
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: ready to do a $ 600 million change to that stadium.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: It's fantastic. They did a drone show, which was awesome. Um,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: They had a great– I mean, the blackout was there. Unfortunately,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: now they're 0-6 in Big Ten play and wearing those uniforms.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to bring them back. Or
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: maybe they will. I don't know. But it was a
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: great trip overall to be a part of that and
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: see it and then have a finish that comes down
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: to the last couple of minutes. It was– It was great.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: It was an awesome feeling to watch that game. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: it wasn't sexy throughout the entire game, 7-3 heading into
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: the final, but nobody gives a crap what the score
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: is in the end. It's how you finish and win.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like Big Ten football, right? At that point.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I think the Huskies have had I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: guess more impressive wins. I think they have had wins
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: against better teams in the Jed Fish tenure. But to me,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think a win that kind of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: really can turn the entire season around. This could have
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: been the biggest win in Jed Fish's tenure.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Do you think that's a crazy statement to say?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm trying to think, too, what's the biggest win?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Everyone says Michigan at home in his first year. All right.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was a big, that was a pretty
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: big win. It was at home. This is, I'm always
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: more impressed with road games. You know, Maryland last year
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: was a big win in that mind to be able
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: to set, solidify the first road win. And then you just,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: that game to me was the best win I've seen
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: for him as a coach and the staff when you
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: needed to behind the eight ball, but to find a
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: way and how it happened, like just not just how
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: it happened under quarterback. Let's just call it what it is.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Quarterback controversy heading into the game. Who's going to start?
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Elijah gets the start. But then you bring in DeMond
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Williams to finish the game in a moment where nobody
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: was sure whether he was going to come in or not.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Nobody had any inclination. And then all of a sudden
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I look down really quick and I jump up and
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I start pointing at my board to a leaf like, hey,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: guess who's in right there. And certainly enough, there comes DeMond.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's a monster win on the road. Road games...
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: means so much because you're out of your environment. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the way you win it and you come back in
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: plays that, come on, fourth and 18, third and 17,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: some of these things that happened, they just don't happen consistently.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: And how it happened, I thought it was incredible.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: Did DeMond just prove that he is the clear choice
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: to start against Penn State?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: No. I'm going to tell you my personal thing. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: thought he was always the clear choice. This is just
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: how I feel from the start. He got hurt. He
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: got banged up. Elijah came in and did a great
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: job versus Purdue. We got to see what Penn State
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: did versus Purdue on the ground. They put up 270
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: on the ground. Penn State ran it all over them.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: We ran it all over them and won a great
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: game on the road. Elijah played great, but I've never
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: deviated off the fact that I think DeMond Williams is
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the best choice at quarterback. He has to go through
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: some growing pains or some things that are, are, are
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: different a little bit this year, offensive line wise, there's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: different players. There's no Jonah Coleman's the running backs where
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: there's all new wide receivers other than Des. And now
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: you have Chris Lawson jump off the page and become
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: a go-to guy. The defense has been great. This is,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Playing quarterback's extremely hard in college. It's the hardest position
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to play in all sports. And you can argue against it,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: but it is. It's not even close. There's only 32
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: of them in the world. To play at the NFL level,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: 10 of them are maybe great. And this is the
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: same in college. So Devon Williams is a game-changing athlete.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And you saw it in the moment against an unbelievably
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: good Nebraska football team on defense. McKean plays with his feet.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: If I can give one piece of advice, because nobody
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: cares about my advice, I'll just spew it anyway. Jamond
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Williams makes the best plays when he's not worrying about
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: being an elite pocket passer. He has skills and knowledge
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: of when to get out and use his legs. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: that's what won the football game, along with Chris Lawson
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: and his ability. He got rid of the football on
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the 4th and 18 and got it out. But his
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: scramble ability, his ability to make plays with his feet,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: he terrifies defenses because of that fear. He is not, okay,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: he is not Tom Brady in the pocket reading four reads, shuffling, bouncing,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: and trying to be 5'10, looking over 6'7, guys. Okay,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: that's not who he is. So that would be my
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: only thing is go be a great football player, DeMond.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Don't try to force yourself into a role that doesn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: fit you as a player.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Sticking with the DeMond conversation here, I mean, did you
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: see a different DeMond Williams in that fourth quarter from
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season? Was there an element of, I struggled,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I got banged up, so the backup comes in. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: see what made the backup successful in running the offense,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe I add an element of that to the game,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and I'm able to take myself and DeMond Williams to
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the next level. So was there a different DeMond Williams
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter versus Nebraska compared to earlier in 2026?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Well, my, my.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Point is, is that I saw it in Maryland too.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: He made some great plays at that when he had
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to come back there, same styles, but no, I don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: think he's any different. I think he just felt like, look,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I don't have to fall into this trap where I
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: have to execute, read one, read two, process and all
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: this stuff. I just got to go be the better
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: guy on the playground and win a football game. I mean,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: you've got to find a way as a quarterback to
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: get it into your playmaker's hands. But he's number one playmaker.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But when he needed to, he made them with his feet.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and I'll say it over and over again, sometimes the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: best football is creative football. Disciplined football is excellent. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: can appreciate disciplined football if you're a different style of quarterback.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: But what made Lamar Jackson so great, what made Michael Vick,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: what made Calandria so great, there too, is his feet
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: play ability. When they tried to throw, he threw picks.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: You know, that's, I mean, I don't know if that's
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: a Matt Rule choice and what he was exactly trying
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: to do, but he played into Washington's defense and our
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: defense so well. Alex McLaughlin picks him off, but they
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: needed to make plays. So I think DeMond is free.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: You want to talk about leadership, positive attitude, never complained,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: sat there and was, was not only working hard in practice,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: advocated for Eliza, waiting for your opportunity to come back again.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And then how many quarterbacks have you ever seen or
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: how many players have you ever seen that have been
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: benched as a starter and massacred on social media. Have
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: you ever been told you're garbage? Elijah's better. And then
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: sit there and wait for the moment for you to
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: get your number called. He could have thrown a tantrum.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: He could have said, Oh, nobody believes in me. No,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: he believed in himself and teammates and found a way
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: to win a football game on the road. That to
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: me is, it just shows a lot about his character
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: as much as everybody wants to argue it. I kind
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: of got a feeling about what his character is. Uh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It was very impressive.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: With how the Huskies won on Saturday, do you see
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: this as maybe a sign of a team learning how
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: to win different types of games under Jed, or are
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: the offensive struggles concerning enough that they could derail this
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: team that is looking to finish strong down the stretch?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think every game is gettable at the finish.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Of course, Indiana's good, and of course they are, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Oregon's going to be better. They're going to be tough,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: and I mean, you've got to go on the road
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to Michigan State. And, of course, you've got to take
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: care of what Penn State is not a walk-on team
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: at all either. They're good up front. Rocco Beckett, their quarterback,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: is a veteran quarterback, came with him. Campbell from Iowa State.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: They run the ball a little over five yards a carry.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: They have confidence, too. They're on scholarship, too. They have
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: coaches that coach, too. They watch a lot of film.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: This is strategic the rest of the year. And getting
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: healthy for this Husky football team. The offensive line is
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: going down a little bit. When I say injuries, you
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: lost Colt. We don't know what his status will be.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Garen wasn't taking reps a little bit in practice, so
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: his knee was bothering him because he had to jump
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: into the center position. So you had some line shuffling
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: going on versus a great pass rush. So there's a
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: lot of things. Everybody's dealing with injuries. There's no excuses here.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: It's how good your depth is. The Tuskegee team is
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: still extremely young. but their young players are getting better.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: And that's like, who knew who Chris Lawson was at
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: the start of the season? Who knew some of these
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: players were and watching how good they are and understanding
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: how good, well, I knew like my favorite guy to
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: watch on the team right now is the ginger. I'm
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: going to call him. That is a Mac and Alex McLaughlin.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: He's an unbelievable player, unbelievable player on film. He just
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: jumps off the screen, but the defense, how well this
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: defense has held up in moments when they needed to
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and make plays. It's just been the secondary Dylan Robinson,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Ryan Dillard now, and how good they're playing with their
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: sticky coverage. So these younger players are getting better.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So you mentioned it kind of looking ahead of the schedule.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: What does a successful season look like now for the Huskies?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: They're 5-3. They got Penn State, Michigan State, Indiana at home,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and Oregon. What does a successful season from this point
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: forward look like for you?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you want the player answer or you want the
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: analyst answer?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Give me both.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Why not? Okay, because it's going to be the same.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: All right, so there you go. It's going to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: exactly the same. You know, everybody wants to put the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: crystal ball out and say what it's going to look like.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: We were doing the crystal ball in week three at
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, weren't we? Yep. Saying, oh,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: we're going to go here, we're going to get 5-0,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: and then we're going to make a run, and we're
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: a top 15 team, we're going to be in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: top 10. I don't play the crystal ball games. What
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I play is week in and week out and how
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: good you can manage each week. Win your home games.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: That's been part of the struggle already. We've seen that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Iowa's come in and did that. We saw Minnesota thump
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: us around at home. Both Iowa and Minnesota thump us
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: at home. That, to me, is more valuable. You take
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: care of your week, and you better start figuring out
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: how to be intense and physical at the line of scrimmage,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: and match up to Big Ten play. You know, Big
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Ten games are supposed to be beat-em-down games that are
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: 20 to 17. I don't care what it looks like.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I just want this team to fight through the end.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: And I think that starts with DeMond. It starts with
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Coach Fish and how good this defense has played. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: these are going to get ugly. And I don't mind it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Let's get into these ugly games. And it's one week
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: at a time because I'm not counting any wins at
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: all or any losses until I see each week.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you talk about getting ugly. How do
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: we get the run game going, man? 32 rush yards
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: versus Nebraska. I mean, I know that with college stats,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: that obviously takes into account sacks as well, but I
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: feel like this offense can hit another level when they
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: can just run the ball with any sort of consistency,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: which they haven't really been to, aside from really one
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: game this year in Big Ten play.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and then teams have... Teams have figured that
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: out against us. I don't want to say it was
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: a little bit of fool's gold versus Purdue because we're
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: now seeing that Purdue has given up a lot of rushing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Penn State ran out, like I said, 270 on them.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: But strategically, it happens a little bit. Elijah had success
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: against Purdue with slant routes, slant RPOs over the top,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: and then they had to back out because they were
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: getting beat on the backside and then open up the
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: run game. This time, Elijah started, and they weren't allowing
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: those slants and those easy, quick slants and the deep
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: throws down the middle. They weren't allowing him to feel
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: comfortable with pass rush. But the reason why we didn't
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: run the football was– and this is not just an anomaly,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: this was Nebraska– So many procedure penalties in situations. False starts,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: the silent count, not getting any rhythm on the outside.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: And Ryan Bonner, he's doing great as a freshman. He
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't have his feel yet. We don't have somebody in
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the backfield that's an explosive, violent runner that can break
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: a bunch of tackles. Trey Cooley had a great game,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: but then he's banged up with his shoulder. That room
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: is decimated. And then the offensive line has never had
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: the same starting group throughout the entire game or in
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: every quarter. Maybe once or twice we've had a consistent group.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: But other than that, Landon Hatchett comes back. We have
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: a great running game. He's gone for the season the
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: next week. Colts back in at center. But then he's out.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Then Champs at right. Then Garian's there. Then John Mills
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: goes from left guard. Then he comes. Cody's out. Cody
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: goes out. John Mills goes to left tackle. I mean,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: it's an absolute– the continuity at the line of scrimmage
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: is difficult. And that's why our run game is not
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: being successful. They have to find some consistency there, no question.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it sounds like a broken record that
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: we've said that a lot this year. But let's zoom
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: out a little bit for the rest of college football.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: The initial CFP rankings came out yesterday. I know you're
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: not a rankings or a polls guy, but what's your
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: initial reaction to what you saw there from the rankings?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Well, we don't pay enough. We don't pay enough money.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: We're just not the SEC. We don't. Obviously, we don't. Obviously,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: there's something in that room that likes to think that
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: wins matter more than losses. So in their reality, they
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: like to use all these. This is what committees do.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: You know what? I'm with Mike Leach. Let's have a committee.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: We should have another committee talk about this. We should
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: have a committee talk about what football should look like,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: and then we should have a committee here. It's garbage,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and this is why I'm going to advocate for the
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: 2014 playoff from here on out. I don't care what
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: you want to use in the end and how you
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: want to figure out. ESPN and that production show is
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: going to be heavily biased toward what gets them there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: This is my own factual opinion. The SEC is the
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: kings in their brain. And they're going to use whatever
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: it takes, although the Big Ten has won the last
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: three national championships, and they still get dumped on. Still
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: get dumped on. But this is part of what college
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: football has become. It's what we got. I'm not going
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: to whine and complain. In the end, somehow, someway, it
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: always feels like the best team ends up winning these
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: first initial rankings. But Alabama, oh, Coach DeBoer, it must
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: be nice. Good to wear something that just says, hey,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: we lost to Tennessee, but they suck. We're better than them.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Make it make sense, guys. I don't get it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's just such a lack of consistency, man. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: then the multiple instances of head-to-head teams where the winner
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: is lower than the loser. That's just crazy to me.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: Well, all right.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: So what's the point of having head-to-head? What's the point
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: of playing a game head-to-head if you're immediately going to say,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: It wins don't matter. And it looks, I think that's
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: my favorite. It's more of the optically, the eye test.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: It's just, I don't, they'll, they'll try and twist it
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: any way they can to try and get sec teams higher.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: It's just, it's just, it's reality, unfortunately.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And then even inside the big 10, you got USC,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: you pretty much dominated Ohio state is eight.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Spots below them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. Literally this past weekend. I can't believe it either.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go back to dogs for one last
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: one here. What's the key to victory against Penn State
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: on Saturday?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, they're going to be on a long
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: road trip, so I like that. I like the long
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: road trip of teams to come there to do it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I watched, after watching the game, the low-hanging fruit is
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: they run the football. Yeah. That's easy. But I'm not
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: expecting us to be able to be dominant at the
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage by running the football. I think this
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: is a muddy, dirty football game again. And it has
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: to be that the key is that we can't give
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: up these long drives on defense. But for us, this
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: leans on heavily is that we have great athletes. We
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: have a couple guys that are really coming to our own.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Chris Lawson, teams are going to try to double team in.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Devon's going to start. How do we respond off a
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: game like that? Is there going to be something that
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: we change offensively that optimize our stars, our guys like Dez, Demond, Chris,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and seeing what we can do? The key to this
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: football game, no question to me across the board, is
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: our offensive line play. That's it. Watch it. It doesn't
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: have to be a dominant 250 yards on the ground offensively.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: But we cannot give up massive sacks, extreme pass rush.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: And also, gosh dang it, penalties at the line of scrimmage.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Pre-staff penalties by offensive linemen. Holding penalties that put us
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: behind the sticks, third and long situation. Let's move forward.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: That group is a great group of people. They're coached
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: by a stud of a coach, Coach Switz. Let's get
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: that group right because that will be the control of
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: this football game. I love it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I know this is a hot take, but my personal
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: favorite ginger member of the UW radio broadcast, Cam Cleland,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: joining us. Appreciate you hopping on the show today.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I do. I do appreciate that. I don't have any
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: hair on my head left on top, but we'll just
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: say it was there.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what?
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: I can see it in the beard.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: That's all that matters, right?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I'm claiming it. Let's go.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: All right, Cam. Appreciate you hopping on. We'll talk to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you soon, all right?
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: All right, thanks.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: That's Cain Cleland.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Always love discussing with him every single week here on
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Chuck in the Morning. Coming up next, we move from
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Huskies to Kraken. Al Kaniski joins the show. We talk
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the Shane Wright trade. What do we expect from Matthew Wood?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: All coming up next on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Welcome back, Chuck,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: in the morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Chuck is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: on vacation. He will be back in the next couple
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: of days. So I get to fill his seat. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: one of the things I was looking forward to most
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: was speaking with Kraken analyst Al Koniski as he joins
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: us right now.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Big Al, what's going on, my man?
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: How are you? Good.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: How are you doing, Andrew?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Doing well.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Doing well.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you coming on the show today. We got a
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: lot to talk about with the hockey team in town.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: We get not only a rare occurrence in a November trade,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: but an even rarer occurrence of a one for one
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: player trade today. not even prospects, just player for player trade.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: What is your initial reaction to Shane Wright being dealt
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to the Nashville Predators and in return, the Kraken getting
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Matthew Wood?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you've got two players that were both
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: in situations where for whatever reason, things weren't working out
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: for them. And I think in the case of Shane Wright,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: he was looking for more ice time, more opportunity, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: he'll get that with Nashville. It looks like he'll move
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: back to center and and probably play top six minutes.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I think in the case of Matthew Wood, it's a
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: similar situation. He's a kid who is a year younger
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: than Shane Wright. He's a big 6'4 winger. Seattle needs wingers.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: They're solid down the middle. He had a great rookie
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: season for the Nashville Predators, and over his first 14
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: games this season, didn't quite come out of the gate
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: as strong as he did in his rookie season. We've
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: seen that before from Matty Beneers. So I think the
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: thought process there is this is a guy that Seattle
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: thinks they can sort out. This is a guy that
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Seattle thinks can strengthen their wing. And I'm looking forward
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: to seeing what he can do tonight. I'm expecting that
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: he'll probably play alongside Freddie Goudreau and Chandler Stevenson. But,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: you know, you're learning the new system very quickly. His
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: first practice was yesterday. He spent time one-to-one with coaches
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: after practice. He's trying to get up to speed as
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: quickly as possible, but it'll be exciting to see him
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: in his first game tonight.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, were you a little surprised, disappointed, however
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: you want to describe it, that the Kraken were unable
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: to package Shane Wright in a more of a sure
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: thing sort of return instead of an untapped potential sort
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: of return?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Or is this kind of what you expected?
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say this is what I expected.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I think everybody was thinking that Jason Botterill would go
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: after maybe a top line winger or forward or center,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: excuse me, maybe packaging Shane Wright with one or two
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: other pieces to do that. And that's not to say
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: that those conversations didn't happen for whatever reason that didn't happen.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: So I.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Think that if that's not doable, the next thing is, okay,
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: you start looking around for where could you do a
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: one-for-one trade and strengthen your team, but also give Shane
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Wright what he wants. So I think this probably was
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: plan B, but that's just me speculating.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think that's a good way to categorize it,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: and that doesn't mean that Matthew Wood won't come in
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and there's a possibility that he could break out and
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: turn into that guy. Who knows at that point? But
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: what are the expectations for him, I guess, in the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: short term and the rest of this year?
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Well, I think I've heard him categorized as Cage Thompson Light.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: Cage Thompson is a big forward with a big shot.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: I like that Matthew Wood chose his number 71 number
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: because he was in honor of Evgeny Malkin, who he
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: grew up admiring his shot. And so Matthew Wood is
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: a finisher. He's a guy that wants to shoot the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: puck fast. If there's a hit on him, it's probably
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: his skating. He's not going to be as fast as
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Shane would. So depending on who you put him with
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: out there, he's going to have to strengthen his skating
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: to keep up with guys like Berkley Catten or Chandler
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Stevenson or whoever he's skating with, or he's going to
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: have to prove that. how he shoots the puck, how
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: he finishes, how he plays in front of the net
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: can make up for that skating challenge he has.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess you kind of mentioned it there.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about it. I think one of the success
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: stories early on in the season has been the kid line,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: so to speak, the Berkley-Katten line. At that point, Shane
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Wright and Kapo Kako, how much of that success would
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: you attribute to Shane Wright? And how different can that
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: be now that he's obviously not on the team anymore?
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I want to be careful with my
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: answer because I don't want to take anything away from
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Shane Wright. I think that he is in his own right,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: no pun intended, his own player, and he'll impact any
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: line positively. But I think right now, Berkley Catton is
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: driving the line he is on. He is driving the speed.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: He is driving the push to the net. Kapokako is
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: a very complimentary guy on that line because he's such
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: a great passer. You couple that with Berkley Catton's speed
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: and playmaking skills. Whoever they put on that other wing,
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: which right now is Mackie Samuskiewicz, Get ready to shoot
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: the puck a lot because you're going to get fed
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: the puck all night long. So Sam Miscavige has that shot.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: I would expect him to get a good, high-quality three
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: to five shots every game because of those two guys
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: on his line.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a great way to describe it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Big Al Kaniski joins us from the Kraken Audio Network broadcast.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: The Kraken have been in the fans have been clamoring
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: for a superstar still have yet to produce a point
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: per game player in their entire history. I mean, I'm
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: not saying that Berkeley Caton can be that right now,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: but is the full breakout imminent for him this year?
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: It seems like every single game he continues to get
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: better and better and better.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's night and day difference between his game this
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: year versus last year. And I'm no longer going to
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: say small sample size because we're into game 15.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: We're there.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: We've got a sample size now. And that sample size
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: to me says Berkley Catton is taking the next step
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: this year. We saw his line move up one spot
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: to the second line on the roster last We'll see
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: if his time on ice equates to that. But you're
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: starting to see him get more time on ice because
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: he's earned it. He's earned it through what he's produced
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: playing less minutes. And I think any time a coach
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: sees that, he wants to get that player on the
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: ice more. And obviously, whoever he's playing with is going
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: to have the same situation. So, yeah, Berkley Catton. Too
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: early to say if he's going to be a point-per-guy
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: superstar for the Kraken, but he's definitely taking a step forward,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: and he will blow his career points out of the
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: water this year.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he already has a six-game point streak
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: going with seven points in those last six games, so
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: it's just great to see. I think that will help
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: this team a ton. Unfortunately, we have to talk some
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: negatives here after the loss to Calgary. And they do
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: face Calgary again tonight. There are other teams in the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: NHL besides the Calgary Flames, right? It seems like the
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Kraken are only facing them right now.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: After tonight, we will know that for sure.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. We will be able to confirm that later.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it seems like... Goal tending is
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: becoming more of a question mark for the Kraken as
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: of late. For whatever reason, Joey Decord has had his
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: struggles this year. Philip Grubauer had a stretch where he
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: looked like he was confident and continued his good season
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: after last year. A couple meh games from him. Where
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: do we categorize where the goal tending is right now
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: at this point?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say right now, Philip Grubauer is your
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: number one, Joey DeCourt is your number two. And having
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: said that, these two goaltenders who we've seen now for
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: multiple years have flip-flopped back and forth between who the
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: number one is and who the number two is. And,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: you know, big picture, multi-year picture, I guess that's okay
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: because they're competing for that number one spot, but... Right now,
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: you're looking at both guys with a 3-2-4 goals against
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: average in the case of Grubauer and a sub-900 save
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: percentage at 8-8-6. And it's just slightly above Joey Decord's
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: at 8-8-0. So two goaltenders that are below 900 save percentages,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: I guarantee you they both want to change that. You
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: need at least one goaltender operating above 900 to have
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: success in this league. And ideally, you have two.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: But right now they're both below that level. So, you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: they both want to get better in both the safe
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: percentage department and the goals against department.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think especially the way that Kraken are constructed, right?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It's a positive that Berkley Catton may be turning into
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: that guy. But as of right now, they need to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: have good goaltending if they are going to be successful
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: this year. Somewhat connected, the PK struggles continue from last year.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: How do they find a way to turn this around?
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's something they've been working on a lot lately.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: They've had four days between games. The last game of Calgary,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: two of those have been practice days, and you can
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: see them working on that penalty kill. We've heard Lane
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Lambert talk about it's partially personnel, it's partially structure.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Technique.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: So it's a little bit of everything they've been working on. And,
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: you know, tonight will be the next, I guess, the
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: next opportunity to try it against a very lethal Calgary
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Flames power play, hitting fifth in the league right now
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: at 30.6%. They put two of two past Seattle last game. So,
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: you know, that's part of what I'm watching tonight is,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: How does Seattle respond to getting a butt-kicking at 6-2
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: against Calgary just five days ago? How do they respond physically?
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: How do they respond structurally, like we talked about with
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: the PK? What does the PK look like? Obviously, I
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: don't want to test it very often against the fifth-best
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: power play in the league. You know what's going to
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: happen tonight and what it does. How does it look?
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Those will be some things that will probably be keys
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: to the game, but absolutely things I'm watching.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's worth pointing out that since they last faced
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the Flames on Friday, the Flames played two other games.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: The Kraken have not played any games, so they'll be fresh.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: They'll be coming out, hopefully raring to get back at
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Calgary later this evening. Al, appreciate you hopping on. We'll
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: hear you at 6.30 later tonight airtime, all right?
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: You got it, Anders.

  Speaker 6: Bit when's the last time you had a root beer float.

  Speaker 8: beer and Anderson I've had one every day up until
• 32:48

• 33:03
  Speaker 7: cans of coke of uh root beer I fell back

  Speaker 7: in love because my dad used to do that for
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: me back in the day when I was a kid.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: We'd go watch a movie or something, or we'd stay
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: at home, and we'd always get a root beer float.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I was like, man, I haven't had a root beer
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: float in, like you said, maybe a decade.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a long time.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: And boy, I was just foaming at the mouth. My
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: wife looking at me like, is it that good? I'm like, yes, babe.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: I've missed it. So shout out to my OG.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: That's what you did on Halloween?
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just had a root beer float, kicked back,
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: watched some movies. It was rather tasty.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: And like I said, I just finished it yesterday. All
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: six cans. Sounds terrible health-wise, but boy, was it delicious.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: I mean, once a day is fine. It won't be
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: happening again.
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: I will take a nice little break, but it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: good to just remember those times as a kid getting that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: For those that are into that kind of stuff, I'm
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: not a big soda guy, but I like root beer.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: It's not my favorite. I tell you, when you get
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: a Dr. Pepper float, Oh, my God. That's how that burns.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: That was some ice cream. So dang good. That is
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: my that's my go to if I'm ever dabbling in that.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: The root of your float.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: In the discussion as well.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: For my one last thing, something happened last night in
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the NHL. It has never happened before. Going into the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: last two minutes and 40 seconds of regulation time. The
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Montreal Canadiens were up 4-0 against the Winnipeg Jets. And
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: no team in NHL history had a four-goal comeback with
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: that little time on the clock. Not only was it
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: a four-goal comeback, Christopher, it was a 4-0. So you
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: go from getting shut out to winning the game when
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: you were down 4-0 with 2 minutes and 40 seconds
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: left in the game.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Teams were a combined zero nine thousand six hundred and
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: fifty two and zero. So not only did no team
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: win before last night, no team even got the overtime
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: loss before last night until when a team was trailing
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: by four or more goals in the final three minutes
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: of the third period. And the Winnipeg Jets did just that.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: They were able to score four times in regulation to
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: take it to overtime and then get the overtime winner.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Just a crazy, crazy comeback. Something that you never, ever see. Yeah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that goes on the list of one of the craziest comebacks.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: And I was actually watching the game last night. Not
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: a ton of sports on. It was a big hockey night.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: So that was something I was checking out.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: What?
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: What are your biggest memories of comebacks in your life
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: christopher oh do i do.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: It to you guys don't do it so you know
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: where i'm going i don't know i just oh what
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: the hell man i'll go cleveland golden state 3-1 yeah
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: 10 years ago a few months ago literally just epic
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: lebron kairi they put on a clinic.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Probably one of the if not the best NBA Finals
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: of all time, to be completely honest.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: It's up there.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: I mean, people are going to argue with you about
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: what they saw in the 90s, but it's in the discussion, okay?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: It definitely is.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: And it was a great series.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: The memes, the historical factors of it, like the Golden
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: State Warriors.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: So not necessarily a game. I'm sorry.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: Sure, yeah.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: I was thinking more game.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: I know, but I would say, yeah, that you caught.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Me for a loop there, but yeah.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: That's all good. I appreciate that. Anything to, you know, rub.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: that loss in my face even more. But, uh, You
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: actually like both the players. You didn't lose a championship.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I did not, but I gained one. I was a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: big Warriors fan at that point in time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: And you won two more the next year.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: And I was happy that Kevin Durant got out of
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: OKC and came to Golden State. So I'm probably alone,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: very much alone in that thought process.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for here.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: We'll be back with you tomorrow morning for one last
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: day filling in for Chuck Powell.
• 37:17
