Speaker 2: He covers Husky football as well as anybody, at least

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: that's what he'll tell you. Our friend from Onmontlake dot com,

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: my good buddy, Christian Kpele back with us on the

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: radio program, Christian Softie and Hugh. How are you, man,

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: what's going on?

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: I'm doing well? How are you guys?

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 4: We're good, We're good.

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: A little bit surprising piece of news that came down

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. We'll obviously talk about everything

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: else happening with the football team.

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 4: But how surprised were you?

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: How taking it back were you that two months after

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: the season's over, Jedfish decides to make a move with

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator, Jimmy Doherty.

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, zooming out. I'm surprised, and I think maybe curious

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: is the better word.

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 5: And by the time that the news came out, it

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: became pretty obvious, or had become pretty obvious that like

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 5: something was going on. I mean, they'd sent Jp Lossman

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 5: on the road recruiting quarterbacks, their assistant quarterbacks coach. Obviously

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: those were duties that Jimmy Doherty had handled. Just seemed

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 5: like Jimmy Doherty got real quiet on social media, and

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 5: the thought had entered my mind, like is he is

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: he leaving for another job? Is getting ready to leave

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 5: you dub in some capacity. So not shocked that that's

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: where it wound up for kind of just some of

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 5: those context reasons. But yeah, I mean, the the broader

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 5: idea that their highest paid offensive assistant is leaving the

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 5: program in mid February, and the language around it is

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 5: kind of vague and kind of neutral ish.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: It is it's strange.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 6: Well, it's very strange, and it seems very, as you said,

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 6: curious in many many ways. It was almost full two

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 6: months after the season. This seems like a very odd time.

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 6: I mean, it's not good for Washington, it's not good

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 6: for Jimmy Doherty. All signs point to this was a

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 6: decision made by Jed Fish. I mean, if we take

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 6: all the facts that we know what is the inference

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 6: to the best explanation as to what happened here.

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean generally, and I mean you guys know this,

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: Like if the head coach has decided.

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: That any given assistant is not doing their job to

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 5: the best of his ability, to the ability needed to

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: help win games, that coaches let go immediately after the

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 5: season ends, right, and especially if you want to be

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: competitive about finding a replacement and really upgrading the staff.

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 5: So for the move to be made in February, and

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: you know, we say move to be made, it was

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 5: really just reported publicly by one party and then Doherty

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 5: and Fish confirmed it on social media, and now he's

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: not on their staff page anymore.

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: There's no official announcement.

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: Even when a coach is fired, usually there's some sort

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 5: of press release or you know, one sentence just formal

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: recognition of a this move was made, So that part

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 5: of it's also odd. You know, I guess we wait

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 5: and see once every NFL assistant job is filled, which

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're open outside of Las Vegas.

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 5: So that's the last staff to put together because they

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: had to wait for Clint Kubiak to win the Super Bowl.

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: But you know, if if all these NFL vacancies get

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: filled and Jimmy Doherty doesn't have one of them and

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: it becomes a parent, they're like, oh, okay, there is

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: there is no other job waiting for him at the

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: end of this, then I think you'd have to conclude

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 5: that it wasn't his decision. But you know, until somebody

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: puts something on the record, it's it's really hard to know.

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get the sense that it was his

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: call to do this, or that this was some kind

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: of a hey, this is best for all parties, let's

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: agree to part ways deal.

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if I leave that.

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 2: I also don't know if I believe that this had

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: anything at all to do Christian with Demon Williams wishes right.

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean that was the first thought that some people

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: had that well, Demon Williams is back. You know, maybe

83
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: he's calling the shots for himself more than maybe we thought,

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: and that he wanted this move to be made.

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: I don't believe that happened.

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: Do you have any thing to the contrary that would

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: lead you to believe that Demon Williams wanted this move

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: to be made?

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 5: I don't, and I've been asked the same question that

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: that would be very surprising to me. Yeah, I mean,

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: I've never had any indication that they didn't get along.

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 5: You never really know, but you know, look, if there's

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 5: a head coach in the country who's willing to make

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: concessions on behalf of his quarterback, it's it's probably Jetfish

95
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 5: with Demon Williams, right. I mean, they're very close. But

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 5: I still would say, I mean to you know, even

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 5: if that were the case, which again I agree with you,

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 5: I don't think it was. Even if the quarterback expressed

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 5: those concerns to you, and you're talking about a five year,

100
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: ten yurared assistant who you go back way further than

101
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 5: that with, and a quarterback who you know is going

102
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 5: to play for you for for one more year.

103
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: Maybe you know, I can't just can't see that decision

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: being made along those lines.

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: Yeah.

106
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Well, Christian Cable's with us from enmont Lake dot com.

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: Check it out, great resource for Husky football fans. And

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: I guess the question from forty thousand feet would be like,

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: why does this matter?

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 7: Right?

111
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: You know, why does it matter that Jedfish got rid

112
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: of his offensive coordinator?

113
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: You know, we all like Jimmy, you know, a.

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Great, great guy, good dude, but we also thought that

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: maybe the offense wasn't progressing, especially at quarterback, the way

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: that we had hoped in twenty twenty five. Jedfish is

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: calling the plays anyway, right, Why is this from a

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: tangible perspective, Why does this matter that Jedfish just got

119
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: rid of Jimmy Doherty.

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's That's why.

121
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 5: It's not exactly earth shattering, because you're not talking about

122
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: losing your play caller. You know, you're even from a

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: recruiting perspective, Jimmy Dory recruits one position, and it's the

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: position that is going to be more concerned with who

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 5: the head coach is because it's the head coach's offensive system.

126
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: And you know that's when.

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: Right, when when quarterback recruits talk about coming to Washington

128
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 5: or being interested in Washington, it's it's Jeed Fish's track record,

129
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: it's Jeed Fish's offense, It's it's the quarterbacks that Jet

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 5: Fish has worked with. So that's not the disparage Jimmy

131
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 5: Dory's coaching ability at all. I think, you know, he's very,

132
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 5: very highly thought of in the industry. But yeah, it's

133
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 5: that's another part of what makes it so odd, right,

134
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: is like, if if you have an offensive coordinator who

135
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: doesn't call plays and you're not running his offensive scheme

136
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: and there's something you don't like about the offense, it'd

137
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 5: be an odd move to remove that person when the

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: head coach is a you.

139
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: Know, running the show.

140
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: So I don't I don't see it as tremendously disruptive

141
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 5: necessarily to like the offensive game plan or anything like that.

142
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: But you know, this is someone.

143
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 5: Who has great familiarity with the way Jedfish runs things,

144
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: who can communicate it and teach it to players in

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: language that is proven and has been understood and has

146
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: been successful in the past. And so you know you're

147
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: not going to get a like for like replacement for

148
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: that person, you know, even though it's not the same

149
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: as having to replace a play caller. And you know,

150
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: when Ryan Grubb came with Kaitlin Debor like, he was

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 5: basically the head coach of the office, had to implement

152
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 5: an entirely new system and teach the guys, and it

153
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: all funneled from him. You're not looking for that kind

154
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: of replacement, but you know, to replace him on staff

155
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: with somebody who has the familiarity with what Jedfish wants

156
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: and needs in his system.

157
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's I think it is a loss from

158
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: that perspective.

159
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 6: Christian Cable with us who's been doing a phenomenal job

160
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 6: for decades, really reporting on the Washington Huskies. Christian, my

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 6: last question on this, I'm gonna really hold your feet

162
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 6: to the fire here.

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: I understand.

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 7: Here we go.

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 6: Look, I understand you have standards in reporting. What have

166
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 6: you I'm gonna I'm gonna movie off of that as

167
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 6: just okay, you know, to some your your your fan,

168
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: you're you're you're connected to this.

169
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: What if you had to say, look, look, this is either.

170
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: A category of of something professional within you know, his

171
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 6: duties as the offensive coordinator, it could be something off

172
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 6: the field. If you had to say, just plut your hunch,

173
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: you say, what is the most likely thing that happened?

174
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: What?

175
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 7: What?

176
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 6: Why did did Jedfish say by Jimmy Doherty at this

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 6: time in February?

178
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: What happened?

179
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 8: Man?

180
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 5: I wish I had a you know, a non ethical

181
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: answer for you, Hugh, But I like I would just

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: I would just be purely speculating. I mean, like to

183
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: be honest with you, and I don't think this is

184
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: necessarily right or even the whole truth. Like my first

185
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 5: thought was, oh, maybe he's decided that he's worked long

186
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 5: enough as an offensive coordinator with no play calling duties

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 5: and he wants to be a play caller and you

188
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 5: know more than that eventually a head coach. And he

189
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: just felt like this was the right time to break

190
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: from Washington, break from Jeduard, time to find right.

191
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: No, so weird, We're.

192
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 6: Weird on the calendar right right late late February.

193
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: That's why I.

194
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: Can't get fully behind that idea either. But if you're asking,

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: you know, hey, just got instinct. Jimmy Doherty and Washington

196
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: are partying ways in the middle of February. What do

197
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: you think happened? That's where my mind went first. But

198
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: there are there are there are facts on the table

199
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 5: that also don't support that. So yeah, uh it's yeah,

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 5: I don't have a great answer for you.

201
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: I wish I had a better one.

202
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, none of us.

203
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds to me like there was some

204
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: kind of a falling out, you know, whatever that means,

205
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: you know, personally, professionally, some kind of a falling out

206
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: between the two of them, and Jed got to a

207
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: point where he just thought moving on and you know,

208
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: calming down the noise whatever was created by that falling

209
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: out process was the right way to go.

210
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: So I'm with both you guys.

211
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: It just seems kind of curious in a lot of

212
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: ways because of the calendar, and to me, there's almost

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: really no other explanation unless there was some kind of

214
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: you know, team violation or something that was done by Jimmy.

215
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 4: But I have no reason to believe that either.

216
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: But Christian capable with us, and Christian we haven't spoken

217
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: in a while. We were on radio Row in San

218
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Francisco at the Super Bowl when they called that press conference.

219
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: I think it was like the day before where they

220
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: kind of threw it together and said we're gonna have

221
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: a presser with Jed Fish and I didn't even know

222
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: that Demon Williams was gonna be there. And then not

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 2: only is Demon there, but he's there with what three

224
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: or four other players, and all of us had been

225
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: waiting for Demon Williams to speak, But I don't know

226
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: if that was the setting we were hoping it would

227
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: come under. And I was a little bit disappointed that

228
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: they chose to do it that way. For Demon's first

229
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: public comments since the transfer portal snafoo thing that happened

230
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: about a month earlier.

231
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: What was your take on that?

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was awkward for sure.

233
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 5: I mean to have four of his teammates up there

234
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: with him, you know, several of whom like, you know,

235
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 5: I could have thought of questions to ask each of

236
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: those guys for ten fifteen minutes, right, and so it

237
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 5: was almost like, was this an attempt to kind of

238
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: fan out the line of questioning that, Hey, you've only

239
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: got twenty five minutes with the five of them. I

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: guess the six of these these guys sitting here, Jed

241
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: Fish and five players, and so maybe that means Demon

242
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: won't get as many questions as he would have gotten otherwise,

243
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: and he's got some moral support with his head coach

244
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 5: and teammates up there with him. Yeah, it was it

245
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: was sort of strange, you know.

246
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: I thought that as the.

247
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: Starting quarterback and and everything that, you know, he could

248
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: have stood to have his own press conference or maybe

249
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 5: him and Jedfish together, if you know, if nothing else,

250
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 5: to open up the opportunity to talk to some of

251
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: his teammates for a little bit longer too, right, I

252
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: mean It's just it was a very compressed setting, very

253
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: you know, awkward to have four teammates sit next to

254
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 5: you while you're getting peppered with questions about this sort

255
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: of uncomfortable topic that happened the month prior.

256
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: And for yeah, for that to be his first appearance,

257
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: it was with a little odd for sure.

258
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Christian capble with us. And it's been several weeks.

259
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 6: You know, I guess new information could have or maybe

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: did trickle in. But is there any other reason to

261
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 6: believe the substance of conclusion is that that demand was

262
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 6: offered by some school, likely LSU, but some school more

263
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 6: than Washington was giving him that he was enticed to

264
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: go into the portal. And then Washington did not put

265
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 6: him in the portal, told him that they still own

266
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 6: his NIL rights, which essentially rendered him uh untouchable by

267
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 6: Elsie or anybody else. So he returns to Washington under

268
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 6: some type of uh legal leverage then over a barrel

269
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: type of a situation, and and that's why he's the

270
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 6: quarterback of the Huskies. Does that pretty much sum up

271
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 6: what we can can assume about the facts.

272
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 5: I won't say that nothing has been said to refute

273
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: that but I will say very little has been done

274
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 5: or said to suggest that people shouldn't believe that, right,

275
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 5: you know, I I think Jed Fish did make I

276
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: think maybe on your show, and then then a couple

277
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: of days after that with the with the media at

278
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: a press conference, you know, did talk about how.

279
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: It's no like it.

280
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: Wasn't just about a contract. It was you know, it

281
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: was decided everybody, all parties came to agreement that this

282
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: is the best thing for for demand and for Washington.

283
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: And you know that's of course that's something that the

284
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: head coach is going to say. It would have been nice,

285
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 5: I think for folks to hear that question answered in

286
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 5: detail by Demon Williams. But you know, look, the vibe

287
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 5: from that press conference was very much.

288
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: This is old news. We've moved on.

289
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: Look, everyone's getting along and we're excited about the future,

290
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: right And it was just it was very obvious that

291
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: they they're you know, any any concrete information or details

292
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: or facts looking back at that time are not going

293
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 5: to come from anybody at the University Washington, at least

294
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: on the record.

295
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: Now, no doubt.

296
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, Christian, before you go, man, schedules out looks pretty manageable.

297
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: I think at first blush and a lot can change

298
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: obviously with matchups and and things like that, but the

299
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: Huskies schedule looks like they're poised to maybe go after

300
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: a double digit win season.

301
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: I mean, what what is this team?

302
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: And we look forward to reading more about that in

303
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: your spring preview when it comes out at on Montlake

304
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: dot com, which I'm a subscriber. By the way, I'm

305
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: literally putting food on Christians Christian's table, by the way,

306
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: you and I really feel good about that.

307
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 4: But is this a CFP team?

308
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: Is this a team that should contend for maybe second

309
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: place in the Big Ten? I don't know, behind Ohio

310
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: State Big Ten Championship. What do we have on our hands?

311
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

312
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean I think I'm of the mind that in.

313
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 5: A twelve team era, certainly in a sixteen team era,

314
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 5: if that.

315
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: Day comes like a healthy.

316
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: Washington program should expect to contend for the TFP every year, right, Yo,

317
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: You look at the schedule like November's brutal, Right, they

318
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: got I think what could be a pretty decent Penn

319
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 5: State team in you know, I know they went through

320
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: a coaching transition, but I think that their schedules set

321
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: up to contend coming to Husky.

322
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: Stadium the first week in November.

323
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: They obviously closed the season with a defending national champion

324
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: and then a tough game against an Oregon team and

325
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: Eugene that that should have been be pretty good. So,

326
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 5: you know, I think that they're good enough to be

327
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 5: in the conversation, you know, I do still have questions

328
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: about did they upgrade meaningfully enough on the interior defensive line?

329
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 5: They completely turned over that whole room. They're going to

330
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 5: be relying on on three incoming transfers and Elenius Davis

331
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: really carry the load there.

332
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: And so you are are they.

333
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: Going to help that Ryan Walters group take another step

334
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 5: forward after a pretty encouraging twenty twenty five season. Is

335
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: Cody Green everything they believe he is at left tackle?

336
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: You know, you're talking.

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 5: About potentially starting a true freshman against the Big ten schedule?

338
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: You know, is he one? Is he going to be

339
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: ready for it too?

340
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 5: Is he maybe going to be an upgrade you know,

341
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: not necessarily over Carver willis you know one v one?

342
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: But if that just that that sort of talent level

343
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: in their ow line room going to make them more

344
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: competitive against some of these Big ten defenses, and yeah,

345
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: can Demon Williams take the next step after you know,

346
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: it wasn't just him like offensively, they really struggled against

347
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 5: elite defenses last year, against the best defenses on their schedule.

348
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 5: And so yeah, there's a you know, another bunch of

349
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: them come into Husky Stadium and out.

350
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: There on the road. So I think they're good. I do.

351
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: I think they have a lot of talent. I think

352
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: that got a lot of young talent. I'm going to

353
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 5: see true freshmen impact the depth chart. But they got

354
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: some questions to answer too. I do think the expectation, though,

355
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 5: should be to compete for a CFP bid.

356
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: Roder.

357
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the athletic has them rated as a C.

358
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: They graded all the big ten teams in UH in

359
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 6: terms of transfer portal success.

360
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that?

361
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 7: Is that?

362
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 4: Is that a concern for you?

363
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

364
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 5: The portal thing's tough because are you looking at volume?

365
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 5: Are you looking at like average talent level? You know,

366
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 5: the talent level of the average transfer portal player you

367
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: brought in.

368
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: Jed Fish has been, as you guys.

369
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: Know, very vocal about wanting to build through high school recruiting,

370
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: which he likens to the NFL draft rather than through

371
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: the portal, which he likens to free agency, which is

372
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 5: literally is free agency. I thought they plugged holes well enough,

373
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 5: Like they got a starting cornerback who this staff is

374
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: very familiar with. I do think a couple of the

375
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 5: d linemen they brought in are intriguing. None of those

376
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: guys were rated all that high. It's hard to like.

377
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 5: That's the other thing, you know, usually with with recruiting rankings,

378
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 5: we know that there's some some flaws in that system too,

379
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: but in the aggregate, you kind of generally know how

380
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 5: well a program is recruiting, I with the kind of

381
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: talent they're bringing in based on the rankings. But transfer

382
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 5: portal rankings are in their infancy and are so all

383
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 5: over the place. It's just it's hard to it's hard

384
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: to draw much from that. But you know, I like

385
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 5: you hear Jetfish talk about Derek Coleman Brussa and Cody

386
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 5: Green and Brian Bonner, and like they obviously believe the

387
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: impact players, the new acquisitions who are going to be

388
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: impact players for them. I think a bunch of them

389
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: are coming from this high school class and they, you know,

390
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: they believe like that's how they're going to really meaningfully

391
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 5: upgrade the talent on their rosters. So I with the portal,

392
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 5: you know, it is what it is. I think they

393
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: mostly were looking to just.

394
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: Kind of fill holes.

395
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 5: You know, whether it's a C or A it's hard

396
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: to compare, right, Like every every program has such different

397
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 5: priorities and goals. Like some are trying to fill out

398
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: there too deep. Some are looking first a bunch of

399
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: starters and have the money to spend to get a

400
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 5: bunch of starters. I don't think Washington wants to allocate

401
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 5: its resources that way or is necessarily able to at

402
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: this point. So, you know, I thought they got out

403
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: of the portal last year what they what they needed to,

404
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 5: and I think they're kind of hoping to to run

405
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 5: it back this year.

406
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 2: the show. Brian Florey, Seahawk offensive coordinator six' twenty tonight,

447
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: but here milling back with us and Huey. I'm looking

448
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: at a map of Wisconsin. You've been to lambeau Field, right,

449
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: green Bay? You've been there?

450
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 7: Correct?

451
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So Appleton, Wisconsin is thirty miles from green Bay.

452
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: Not really a pain of the ass for Packer fans

453
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: to get to Appleton if they have to.

454
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: But it's not Green Bay.

455
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: It'd be different if the Green Bay Packers played in

456
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: Appleton and not green Bay. How different will it be?

457
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: How weird, how wrong? How sacriligious? Will it be if

458
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears pack up and move thirty miles east

459
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 2: to Hammond, Indiana and build a stadium in a different state?

460
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: Is it thirty It's thirty miles from downtown Chicago, twenty

461
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: five from Soldier Field is what I'm looking at right now?

462
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I had read twenty.

463
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 6: Well, in that regard, that's some like going to Auburn, Washington,

464
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 6: or snow Qualmy.

465
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: In different states. Yeah, yeah, right.

466
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 6: Obviously crossing a state line impacts it a little bit.

467
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the comp to me would be

468
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 6: obviously the Jets and Giants playing in New Jersey. You

469
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 6: know the thing about Chicago. Both my parents are from Chicago.

470
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 6: Moved out to Seattle when I was two, So Dad said,

471
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 6: I can't I live without mountains, and he chose Seattle

472
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 6: over Denver. So at any rate, all I remember is Seattle.

473
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: But so I know a fair amount about what's going

474
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 6: on with Chicago in terms of the geography and the

475
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 6: lifestyle a little bit. And you know, you think they

476
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 6: have the l trains and the suburbs and what have you,

477
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 6: and it's kind of an urban type of environment. Somewhat

478
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: obviously similar to New York and the idea before with

479
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: the Soldiers Field, and I played at the really old

480
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 6: Soldier Field before it was redone. You know, it's just

481
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 6: kind of part of the urban setting, right where people

482
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 6: use a lot of public transportation, particularly those subways and

483
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 6: l trains, and now they don't have that, right, So

484
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 6: I don't like it. I think the weather's a part

485
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: of I think that it should be part of some

486
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 6: stand And there's some teams where you think, you know,

487
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: the Packers, the Bears would be, you know, maybe one

488
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 6: and two on the list of teams when you say, well,

489
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: those teams have to play they have to play outdoors, right,

490
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 6: But the Bills, the Bills are they're still playing outdoors,

491
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 6: but they have a little bit of a shelter. I guess,

492
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 6: the Steelers. I mean, there's some teams where you just

493
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 6: you can almost you can't imagine them playing in a dome,

494
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 6: and that's exactly what's gonna happen with the Bears.

495
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 4: I don't like it. Yeah, No, I'm kind of with you, man.

496
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm curious to see if this actually happens,

497
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe the city of Chicago and the

498
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: State of Illinois comes back and says, well, if you're

499
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: really mean it, then maybe we'll throw something together and

500
00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: keep your hair.

501
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 4: I'm totally with you on that.

502
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: It just doesn't seem right at all that the Chicago

503
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 2: Bears are going to play football in Indiana. But hey,

504
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: for those that missed it, Hugh Brian Florey was on

505
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: with us the Seahawk offensive coordinator at his press conference today.

506
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: You'll hear it again coming up at six point twenty

507
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: this evening. And I don't know. I mean, you've heard

508
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: him now with me. You heard him in his press

509
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: conference today.

510
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: It's really hard to kind of make any real decisions

511
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: about how you feel about a guy based on what

512
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: he says at a press conference, especially a play caller.

513
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: You need to get your feet wet with this guy

514
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: and watch him in practice, and watch him in the

515
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: preseason and then really dive into it in September. But

516
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: do you feel any worse better the same about this

517
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: guy after what you heard today?

518
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 6: I think more or less the same. I mean, he

519
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 6: seems like a good dude. I like him personally, but

520
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 6: that's not my first priority for an offensive coordinator. You know,

521
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 6: I don't think that Clint Kubiak was as glib as

522
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 6: Brian Flory appears to be, you know, first impression, right,

523
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 6: So to me, you know, the tape, the silent tape

524
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 6: is your resume and all the detail that shows up

525
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 6: how you how you game plan, and the way that

526
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 6: Clint Kubiak just took you know, he took a number

527
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 6: of teams to school in, you know, particularly down the stretch.

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: Ye.

529
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: You know that that was impressive and and you know,

530
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 6: I'm I'm concerned that you'll have a regress, but you

531
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 6: know what, it's also possible that he'll be better, right right,

532
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 6: that that the offense could be better in twenty twenty six,

533
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 6: That is a very real possibility. So I'm just gonna

534
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 6: kind of hold tight and reserve judgment.

535
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing.

536
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: They were not, by all stretches great in the red zone, right,

537
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they were better as the year went on,

538
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: certainly better than the playoffs, yes, but they could be

539
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: a lot better in the red zone.

540
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: And they were third in the NFL and scoring.

541
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: So I mean, if this guy can come in here

542
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: and even fix that, right, even even make a big

543
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: jump in the red zone from field goals to touchdowns,

544
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you could see these guys end up maybe

545
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: as the number one scoring offense next year in the NFL.

546
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: Let's do this, We're gonna break. Jason Hamilton is retiring

581
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: I know that this is something that you've been thinking

582
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: about for a while, and first of all, it's going

583
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: to be weird to not hear your voice on the broadcast.

584
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: But talk more about that, man, I don't want to

585
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: put words in your mouth. I mean the paper Percy

586
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: did a great job of the times today talking about

587
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: why you're.

588
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 4: Doing this and all that stuff.

589
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: But for those that didn't read it and hear it,

590
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: tell us why you thought this was the right time

591
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: to make this call.

592
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, thanks for the opportunity to have that conversation. Yeah,

593
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 9: I just you know, my my real jobs as a

594
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 9: managing director and regional you know, executive for for Marsh

595
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 9: the company that I work for on the commercial insurance side.

596
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 9: I've just taken over more responsibility, more territory, and it's

597
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 9: been increasingly more difficult, you know, with doing the radio

598
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 9: in the Big Ten, to be in Denver and Salt

599
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 9: Lake and Portland, Seattle, the territories in the offices that

600
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 9: I cover, uh, you know, along with travel with the

601
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 9: Big Ten. It just kind of felt like a good time,

602
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 9: after a lot of a lot of years and a

603
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 9: lot of great memories and opportunities to see the college

604
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 9: basketball landscape and and live out my dream to uh,

605
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 9: to finally say, you know, it's it's time, it's time

606
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 9: to just kind of focus on, yeah, the real job,

607
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 9: and then just you know, chaish the memories and move on.

608
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 9: And it's hard, obviously softly as you know, this is

609
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 9: you when you get a front row seat doing what

610
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 9: you love and being a part of it. It's hard

611
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 9: to let it go, but at the same time it's

612
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 9: probably the right thing to do.

613
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned something there, Jason again, Jason Hamilton with us.

614
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: He's going to step down from the Husky Radio broadcast

615
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: at the end of this year for twenty four years

616
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: on the job.

617
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: And you enunciated when you said.

618
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: In the Big ten, right, So we're talking about like,

619
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: for example, you got to fly to Maryland tomorrow and

620
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 2: then you're going in New Jersey and so you're on

621
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: the road for five days. So if this wasn't the

622
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: Big Ten and this was the PAC twelve, would you

623
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: maybe have considered continuing the gig?

624
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 9: I mean probably, to be quite honest, I mean, you know,

625
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 9: it makes the PAC twelve travel was so much easier.

626
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 9: Not to mention that some of those cities that you've meant,

627
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 9: we're in the territory that I manage anyway, So it

628
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 9: would make uh, the real job and the and the

629
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 9: radio you know, a lot easier to manage. But yeah,

630
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 9: I mean, being up and down the West Coast from

631
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 9: a travel perspective.

632
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: Certainly is a lot easier.

633
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 9: And going to the Central and Eastern time zone multiple

634
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 9: times a year made it more difficult when you're when

635
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 9: you're on the road for six days at a time. Uh,

636
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 9: you know that that that certainly adds to it. But

637
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 9: the Big Ten has been a fun league to be

638
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 9: a part of, and and and certainly the venues and

639
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 9: the passion that the fans have for basketball has been

640
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 9: great to watch and great to see. But but certainly

641
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 9: the travel is a huge basket.

642
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, I want to get to one more on that

643
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: and then talk about the team we're seeing now and

644
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: also get some memories from you. Jason Hamilton's with us,

645
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: And you know John Roskin obviously covers college basketball, you know,

646
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: all over Twitter, CBS, whatever. He had a tweet out

647
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 2: their day. And I know Wilner has been tracking this

648
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: as well. That the four Big Ten teams from the

649
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: West Coast Oregon, UCLA, USC and U DUBB combined I

650
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: think a six and twenty after Mick Cronin went berserk

651
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: and got slaughtered by Tom Izzo the other night, six

652
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: and twenty in Big Ten games outside of the Pacific

653
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: time zone. None of these four programs will ever win

654
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: a Big Ten regular season title, is what Rostein wrote,

655
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: do you believe that this travel is really having an

656
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: adverse effect even more than we thought on the four

657
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: West Coast teams.

658
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 9: Well, first of me, let me add just the first

659
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 9: question about what was Rostein said, and that is I

660
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 9: don't think that one of those four won't be a

661
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 9: Big ten contender or a national national championship contender at

662
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 9: some point. So I disagree with that. Is the travel hard.

663
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 9: It is really hard. And it's funny, you know when

664
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 9: you hear the Central and Eastern time zone schools say, oh,

665
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 9: we got to go out to you know, play Washington

666
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 9: or UCLA and US see you're coming out, especially in

667
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 9: the case of UCLA and USC you're coming out to

668
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 9: Los Angeles. You don't even have to move hotels right

669
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 9: you're you're there. You can stay in the same hotel

670
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 9: you go play two games for you know, the four

671
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 9: schools on the West Coast having to go east, you know,

672
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 9: you're you're you're sleeping in uh a bed for five

673
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 9: or six nights. You're playing in different time zones. It's

674
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 9: a very difficult thing to do. And that's not necessarily

675
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 9: an excuse, but it is a reality, and it is

676
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 9: something I think you're seeing bearing in the results. Now,

677
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 9: maybe the talent level, these aren't the best four teams

678
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 9: that we've had historically and at a time that they're

679
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 9: transitioning into a new league. But I certainly think the

680
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 9: talent is there to attract the talent and to be

681
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 9: you know, top programs in the Big Ten. It's just

682
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 9: it's just not happening right now.

683
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: Right. Yeah, it's only two years in.

684
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: I think we've got to give it a little bit

685
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: of time obviously, and see what this thing looks like after,

686
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: you know, half a decade or whatever. I agree on that.

687
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: But Jason Hamilton with us on the show. We got

688
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: him and Tony on Saturday, a tip off at noon,

689
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: pregame eleven thirty from Maryland and Rutgers next Tuesday. So,

690
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: you know, one of my favorite ways to do this.

691
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: If I just got off of boats and I was

692
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: on an around the world cruise and I didn't see

693
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: any Husky basketball up until this point, I'd say, god

694
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: five and ten in the Big Ten. They got a

695
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: lot of big name dudes on this team, a lot

696
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: of Conference Player of the Year candidates. They got an

697
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: NBA draft pick, top twenty guy first rounder in Steinbach,

698
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: why are they five and ten and the Big Ten?

699
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: What's going on?

700
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a couple of reasons that you know, people

701
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 9: may or may not want to subscribe to. And A

702
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 9: that is the opening month and a half of the

703
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 9: Big Ten schedule, they.

704
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: Played literally five.

705
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 9: Team, sixteams that have a chance to make it to

706
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 9: the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament, a front loaded

707
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 9: schedule in the Big Ten, which made it very, very difficult.

708
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 9: You couple that with the fact that they've never ever

709
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 9: ever been healthy this entire season. You think, you know,

710
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 9: the clips that you played coming in Jacob Agnasovic never

711
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 9: has gotten, you know, fully fully healthy, right, he had

712
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 9: the injury. They brought him in late, and then now

713
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 9: he's trying to come in and find a rhythm. You

714
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 9: had Hanus down for a while, you had Bryson Tucker

715
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 9: down for a while, Desmond Claude out. This team has

716
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 9: just never materialized into a fully healthy thirteen man roster

717
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 9: that Danny Sprinkle and you know the other coaches thought

718
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 9: it would be. I think the talent was there for

719
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 9: them to be in the upper half of this this

720
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 9: league and be an NCAA Tournament team, But because of

721
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 9: where they are. They've done it piecemeal. Uh, and they've

722
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 9: competed really hard. But it just it hasn't turned into

723
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 9: the season that I think we thought we were going

724
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 9: to see.

725
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Jason Hamilton's with us in any other era,

726
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: guy is a top twenty pick, first round pick in

727
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: the NBA draft, you'd say he's gone.

728
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: But you can offer money for a guy come back now, right.

729
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 7: You can?

730
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: You can, you can you can discourage somebody from leaving. So,

731
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean, do you do you have any any thoughts

732
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: at all on the possibility of Hannes Steinbach returning next year?

733
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 9: You know, I don't, And you bring up a great point.

734
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 9: I mean, there is a different negotiation to be had

735
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 9: that didn't really exist. You know, five ten years ago,

736
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 9: right where you know, a kid was was certainly gone

737
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 9: that they're going to be in the in the top

738
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 9: you know, fifteen picks in the NBA draft. You know,

739
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 9: there are certainly some things that Hannas can work on

740
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 9: to improve his game, if he so too, chose to

741
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 9: to try to do that and would be incentivized to

742
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 9: do so.

743
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think the Lord.

744
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 9: Of the NBA is really really tough, especially if you're

745
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 9: going to get that contract. I have no you know,

746
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 9: insight on that really, other than to say I agree

747
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 9: that it's going to be a different conversation if Hannis,

748
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 9: you know, is waffling a little bit.

749
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: So Jason Hamilton's with us again. He's going to retire

750
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: at the end of the year from the Husky basketball broadcast,

751
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: which means send your resumes to take his spot to

752
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: Tony caster Combe.

753
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: By the way, We'll get an email.

754
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: Address and put that out over the air, or check

755
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: his LinkedIn account, by the way.

756
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: But I mean you when you came.

757
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: On, dude, I'm looking at the Husky basketball resume compared

758
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: to your resume, and.

759
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: They just took off. I mean, you showed up.

760
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: It's like, what six tournaments in eight or nine years,

761
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: and then you get to like twenty twelve and we've

762
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: been there one time. I mean, what are your memories, man,

763
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: what are your kind of favorite moments, favorite games that

764
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 2: you've covered at you dub Yeah.

765
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 9: I mean I think, you know, just going back from

766
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 9: when I played to when I coached, to all the

767
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 9: years in broadcasting, you know, I've seen the ups and downs.

768
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 9: I mean it has been a bit of a roller

769
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 9: coaster between you know, right when I was done playing,

770
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 9: when we had a couple of tournament runs the Sweet

771
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 9: sixteen and ninety eight, then Romar takes over and there's

772
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,479
Speaker 9: a couple of down years and the boy, that five

773
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 9: six seven year stretch that Romar had, you know, with

774
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 9: probably one of the best eras of if not the

775
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 9: best era of University of watching in basketball basketball historically, so

776
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 9: much fun, which coincided, you know, with the Sonics leaving

777
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 9: as well, so just the city was on fire with

778
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 9: Washington basketball and it was an electric atmosphere. So all

779
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 9: that you know, to me was was so memorable, and

780
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 9: those guys and all the guys that went to the

781
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 9: league certainly a special time. And then you know, it's

782
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 9: been it's been a difficult rebuilding, you know, the transition

783
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 9: to the Big Ten. It's just been a really interesting

784
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 9: last seven to ten years for this Washington basketball program.

785
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 9: And you know, Sathi, you've covered all, you know, Washington

786
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 9: football and all the things and all the sports in

787
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 9: the city, and you know that it comes in cycles.

788
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 9: I saw a tweet today that you sent out about

789
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 9: you know, the pre Paul Allen era of ownership and

790
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 9: and what the team did versus what it's done since,

791
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 9: and it just those are the things that happened, and

792
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 9: you know, I'm just I'm just so great to be

793
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 9: a part of all of what Washington Athletics are, especially

794
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 9: Washington basketball, and being able to see the ups, the downs,

795
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 9: the people who've come and gone, the impact that people

796
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 9: have had, and it's been a really special time for me.

797
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: How much you think you can lower your handicap, I'm

798
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: not doing radio anymore.

799
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 9: So, first of all, I'm certainly not I'm certainly not

800
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 9: doing it in the Big ten because all the golf

801
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 9: that I played in the in the Pac twelve on

802
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 9: the off days, you know, on that Friday or whatever,

803
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 9: in the sunshine, you're not getting that in the in

804
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 9: the snow in the Big ten. But I'm looking forward

805
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 9: to having a couple more opportunities to swing it in

806
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 9: the winter time, that's for.

807
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 4: Sure, no doubt. All Right, man, go get him, enjoy

808
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 4: the rest of the year.

809
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: Hey, maybe these guys rally, maybe you'll quit and I'll

810
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: make the final four next year and we can just

811
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: give you credit for that. For God's sakes, thank you

812
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,279

814
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: I quit my job to Jason.

00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: You're the man, great stuff, big shoes to fill. Nobody

816
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,800

Speaker 7: that's just yeah.

831
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well I don't. I don't, I don't.

836
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 8: Chuck and I are actually driving to go get some

837
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:50,879

Speaker 7: So there you go.

839
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 8: Once you feed the feed the fat guy, my my

840
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 8: attitude will improve.

841
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: Well, you just make sure Chuck buys all right, that

842
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: cheap son of a bitch. It's time that he's still

843
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: up and takes care of his co host man. After

844
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: the way you carry that radio show. You can tell

845
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: him I said that, by the way. So let's uh

846
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: hear you, hi, Chuck, Let's get to Cal this morning.

847
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: I'm I'm hearing a guy that I mean, we already

848
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: knew this, Bucky, but feels like the undisputed leader in

849
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 2: that clubhouse without question, the captain Cal Rawley.

850
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he's uh, he's a sat I mean

851
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 8: he's been a guy for a minute that you know,

852
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 8: I mean quietly was the leader. I think when you

853
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 8: have your hands on the team as much as he does,

854
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 8: with you know, working the pitching staff and calling games

855
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 8: and just being a catcher, is typically going to be

856
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 8: a leader. Even when he wasn't doing it by you know,

857
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 8: walking around chess puffed up by any stretcher or even

858
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 8: being loud necessarily, he I think every word that he said,

859
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 8: even if they were few.

860
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 7: Carried a lot of weight.

861
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 8: I mean, after you come off a sixty homer season

862
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 8: and still doing what he does behind the plate. You know,

863
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 8: it's it's pretty much inevitable. I think it was already

864
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 8: he was kind of the undisputed leader. It's just now

865
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 8: he most certainly there's an error about him that it's

866
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 8: not him projecting. He's not trying to be something that

867
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 8: he's not. It's just he's comfortable in the fact that

868
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 8: now you know, he's not a rookie that is leading

869
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 8: the team. He's a guy that's got some experience and

870
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 8: now all of a sudden, you know, the numbers back

871
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 8: it up.

872
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 7: He's just he's, without a doubt, the captain of the team.

873
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it doesn't seem like he's got an ego either.

874
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it just seems like a humble dude, the

875
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: same kind of g Galios Schucks guy that when he

876
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: showed up here, right, you know, five six years ago

877
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: that he is now, even when he hit sixty home runs.

878
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: But I was kind of kicking this around. Bucky is

879
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 2: curious your thoughts. Bucky Jacobson from Peoria doing the morning

880
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: show one more day tomorrow from the Mariner Spring training complex.

881
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty eight games caught, two years ago

882
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five, in twenty four, one hundred

883
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: and twenty one and twenty five, so numbers coming down

884
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: a little bit. Do you think that trend continues or

885
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: does it plateau a little bit? Do they want to

886
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: start to limit maybe how many times this guy's getting

887
00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 2: beat up behind the plate.

888
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 8: I think they probably want to limit it. I don't

889
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 8: think he necessarily wants to. I'll say this, I think

890
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 8: last year, I mean, in the playoffs towards the end,

891
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 8: and we kind of talked to him a little bit

892
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 8: about it today during the interview of stealing bass right,

893
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 8: He's like, I'd love to steal thirty And I said, well,

894
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 8: I mean you've got the same speed. He's like, I'm

895
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 8: not even slower than you know, well, I can't be

896
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 8: that much slower than either, right, And I'm like, I

897
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 8: don't think you're slower than nailor at all.

898
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 7: I think you just got to go more.

899
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 8: And he said, well, you know, those catcher's legs basically

900
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 8: by the end of the year, and it kind of

901
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 8: looked like that in the playoffs, like he was, you know,

902
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 8: maybe running on fumes a little bit and obviously still

903
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 8: producing with the things that he needs.

904
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 7: To produce with.

905
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think he took a toll on his

906
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 8: legs catching as much as he did, and even when

907
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 8: he wasn't catching his DH and so it's not like

908
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 8: a true day off and then just getting banged up

909
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 8: the way he is. I think that the organization would

910
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 8: love to, you know, rein it in a little bit,

911
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 8: get him to take a couple more days off and

912
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 8: DH a little bit more than what he wants to.

913
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 7: But he just I think he loves handling the pitching staff.

914
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 7: I think he loves being back there.

915
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 8: I think there's a part of him that that's the

916
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 8: way his mind is made up, and where he wants

917
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 8: to go out there and battle four times, but then

918
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 8: go out and do all the battles for one hundred

919
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 8: and fifty times, calling pitches for his guys and then

920
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 8: balking and throwing guys out. I would imagine if you

921
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 8: don't have that in your game for any given day,

922
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 8: you probably feel like you're missing something.

923
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 7: I mean, I wouldn't know.

924
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 8: I've never got back there at at a game like that,

925
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 8: and so I mean I think that they would like to,

926
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 8: I mean, simply if it's not for anything more than

927
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 8: just to try to create some longevity. I mean, they

928
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 8: want cal Rawly to be a dude for the Seattle Mariners,

929
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 8: playing good baseball, whether it's behind the dish or just

930
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 8: even at the plate.

931
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 7: But they want that to be hopefully all the way

932
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 7: through his thirties.

933
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 8: And at this point, if he catches one hundred and

934
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 8: thirty games a year, he's going to run out of

935
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 8: steam at some point.

936
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, they've got Kissner, they've got Parada, they just brought

937
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: Garver back. I mean, there seems like there's a battle

938
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: for the backup backstop. I mean, would you give Garba

939
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: a good shot of winning that role?

940
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: Who's the leader in the clubhouse to be ky Rawlyy's backup?

941
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 8: Oh man, you're asking me a rough one here, because

942
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 8: I am not a Garber fan.

943
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: Wow, I mean I didn't know that about it. I

944
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 4: wait a minute, Yes I did.

945
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's a big secret.

946
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 8: I mean I just have a hard time watching the

947
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 8: way the guy approaches hitting. I mean, he's just you

948
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 8: don't want to call it patient, fine, there's another word

949
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 8: for it. I'm passive, and I just don't like passive.

950
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 8: I don't like passive hitters. Now, I mean I think

951
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 8: he probably gives you more danger than anybody else they

952
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 8: have on the roster right now with the bat.

953
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 7: I just don't know if I can handle watching it.

954
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 8: I wouldn't be I mean, at this point, to me,

955
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 8: I think you'd probably i'd give Garber being the leader

956
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 8: in the clubhouse at this point as far as being

957
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 8: his backup. But he knows the pitching staff. I think

958
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 8: the pitching staff likes him. I think he's well liked

959
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 8: in the clubhouse. He probably is a great dude. I

960
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 8: just can't stand watching him go up to the dish

961
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 8: anymore and try to walk. I want somebody goes up

962
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 8: there and wants to hit and wants to do damage.

963
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 8: And but I honestly, I mean, I would think that

964
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 8: at this point he went out and tested the market,

965
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 8: nobody was interested in giving him a big league contract, right.

966
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 7: He says, all right, well, we'll give you another shot.

967
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 7: You can come in here, and if you win a job,

968
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 7: so be it. We know that you know our pictures

969
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 7: and that's a minimum.

970
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: Well, before you go, Bucky, I know you're you're staying

971
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: down there for the weekend next to your family's coming

972
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: down to join you. You're gonna spend a few days

973
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 2: in Arizona. Is Chuck going back tomorrow night? What's his plan?

974
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 8: Chuck is heading back tomorrow. He's flying back tomorrow. I

975
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 8: don't know what time, tomorrow afternoon. So yeah, he'll be

976
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 8: heading back to Sea town. He wants to get back

977
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 8: into that snow.

978
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 7: I'm sure no.

979
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's lovely, by the way, but this is your

980
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: last night together as a pair.

981
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 4: How do you spend it?

982
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: How do you spend your last evening together before your

983
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 2: family comes into town? And Chuck Powell comes back to

984
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 2: reality here in Seattle, We're.

985
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 8: Probably gonna get really romantic right now. We're heading to

986
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 8: place called Peta Jungle. Make sure that Chuck called and

987
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 8: reserved a table by the window, and you know, I

988
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 8: just I would imagine one big margarita, two straws, you know.

989
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 7: Really enjoy our each other's company for one last time.

990
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 4: Out of a big old fishbowl.

991
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, man, nothing says romance like Peta

992
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: Jungle in Arizona. Baby on a Thursday night. So you

00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 8: Oh what is coming up tomorrow? We got justin Hollander.

997
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 8: I know that for sure.

998
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 7: We're gonna try to lock down Naylor. That's one that

999
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 7: has been eluding us to some degree.

1000
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 8: He's busy, he's got all kinds of photo shoots and

1001
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 8: everything else going on. We did talk to Res Schneider, okay,

1002
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,359

1003
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 8: him on tomorrow, Chuck, what else?

1004
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,000

1010
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 8: dependent on their schedule, as you know.

1011
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:09,560
