19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440

Speaker 3: the celebration of life for me A Hammond, a beloved

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: member of our university community. I never intended to call

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: attention away from such an important moment. I am excited

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 3: to reunite with my teammates and to lead the University

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: of Washington to success in the twenty twenty six season

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: and beyond.

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 5: Go Huskies.

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: Demon Williams, two days after announcing he wants to put

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: his name in the transfer portal, has decided to pull

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: his name out and continue as a Husky on myl.

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 6: And let me quickly just jump in and let you

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 6: know that Pat Chun and Jedfish have now made official

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 6: statements as well by Washington housee Athletics, and they have

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 6: confirmed that he's back, and statements are long where they

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: talk about the complex process that has gone on over

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 6: the last few days.

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: Got you all right, Well, why don't we just stay

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: with this story, Dick and just get humoing on right now?

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 7: Can you add this to the list of you know,

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 7: would you have thought that Pete Carroll, after leading the

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 7: Trojans with lead Shawks and the Super Bowl and the

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 7: Sonics thirteen years after going to the twelve years after

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 7: going to the Finals, would not be around anymore?

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 8: Nope, this was about as likely as those things happening.

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: I think you're right, come back and play.

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 5: Well.

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: We talked about this on Tuesday night when it came

54
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: down that you just can never say no to any possibility,

55
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: and I guess him returning was one of them, and

56
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: we could never say no to that.

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: Well.

58
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, There's a big part of me

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: that doesn't like it. There's a part of me that

60
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: is okay with it. I don't know how I feel

61
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: right now. I got a lot of emotions swimming around

62
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: in my brain. To be honest with you. As a

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Husky fan. Hugh Millan, who once quarterback the Huskies to

64
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: a number one ranking forty two years ago in eighty four,

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: not many guys can say that. Not many opinions matter

66
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: more than this guy, and he joins us right now

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: on the ear, Hueie, He's back.

68
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: I don't like it for many many reasons. I don't

69
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: like it.

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 9: First of all, I don't I don't buy that he

71
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 9: had to change of heart when he went into the

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 9: the the portal, he had to do not contact designation.

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 9: What does that signify to you that he had a

74
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 9: specific team in mind. My hunch can't prove it. My

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 9: hunch is that the specific team was LSU, and that

76
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 9: with the threat of the legal action that LSU, you

77
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 9: notice nothing's coming out of LSU. And I think there's

78
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 9: a high probability that this about face has more to

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 9: do with what his options were and the legal ease,

80
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 9: whether LSU even wanted to to bite into that apple,

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 9: and and so you know, among many reasons, that that's

82
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 9: one reason where I'm I'm just.

83
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: I'm not buying it, Hugh.

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 7: I a one hundred agree with you as far as

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 7: that being the most likely reason that Demon William is

86
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 7: doing this. My question to you is do you think

87
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 7: that over time, after we hear a public apology, hopefully

88
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 7: we'll hear something more than just the Instagram post. After

89
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 7: Fall Camp Spring Camp Fall Camp, he rips up the

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 7: crap that we're going to play in September. He's on

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 7: the Heisman Trophy list before we even play a Big

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 7: ten game. Do you think a majority of Husky fans

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 7: and even yourself will be like, all right, let's roll.

94
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 5: I'm with him.

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 9: Well, there's very distinct entities that demand Williams has to

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 9: deal with the fans. Absolutely, that's a factor. If you've

97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 9: got booing fans, that is bad energy for any team

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 9: professionals to operate within, let alone college players. So that

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 9: is far less than ideal. And so that could be

100
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 9: an issue. And look, I coached youth and high school

101
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 9: football for twenty four seasons and the resident of the

102
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 9: of the Youth Association asked me to be on the board.

103
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: I served.

104
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 9: I've given a lot of thought to UH leadership and

105
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 9: and what constitutes a team being tight and what have you.

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 9: And I've always said to my own sons, to the

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 9: to the kids, it's a great privilege to to UH,

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 9: to coach young people. I say, look, if you have

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 9: somebody apologize to you and a sincere apology, only a

110
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 9: complete a hole rejects a sincere apology. And on the

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 9: other hand, in lot because because you're gonna make mistakes

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 9: in life, and and when you do, you better realize it,

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 9: and you better give a legitimate apology, not a gaslighting apology.

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry if I offended. You know what that means.

115
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 9: That's that means that, uh, that you're the one who's

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 9: too sensitive. No, a legit apology is is I screwed

117
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 9: up your right to be mad or hurt or whatever

118
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 9: it is. And and so there is that portion. I

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 9: believe in all of that. I also believe there's consequences

120
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 9: for actions. And and Demon Williams is old enough to

121
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 9: go to war and get carved up. He's a he's

122
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 9: a grown ass man adult, and he knows there are

123
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 9: consequences to what he did. And and one of the

124
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 9: things I'm just anticipating right now, which I'm gonna roll

125
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 9: my eyes and I and and I can just see

126
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 9: all the suckers buying this is we're gonna have Jetfish

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 9: come on and say everything's fine with the players. No,

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 9: the players are fine. And there's gonna be two or

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 9: three guys go on on record and say no, we

130
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 9: love Demon, everything's fine, And then a lot of people,

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 9: hundreds thousands of people are gonna draw conclusion. See everybody's

132
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 9: fine with demand. No, the guys that that that don't

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 9: feel that way, they're not gonna say anything, and they're

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 9: gonna get They're gonna quietly grouse. And so the leadership

135
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 9: it has been frayed in ways that might not.

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: Be uh repaarable for a lot of people on that team.

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 9: You can take the porcelain egg off the mantel and

138
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 9: it can fall and shatter on the go. You can

139
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 9: pick it up and you can glue it back together

140
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 9: piece by piece, and you can stick it back up

141
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 9: on that mantle. Guess what, it still has cracks. It's

142
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 9: never the same. And and where this could play out.

143
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 9: You talk about the fans, I said, there's an energy

144
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 9: in that stadium. Yeah, you're right, he's gonna he's gonna

145
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 9: blow up September and Washington State and Utah State and

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 9: Eastern Washington.

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: He's gonna blow them up. That's what he did last year.

148
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: That's what he does. That's who he is.

149
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 9: He's he's the the number one drop in performance quarterback

150
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 9: in all of power for a quarter I can give

151
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 9: you the numbers to prove it. And so yeah, he's

152
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 9: gonna carve that up. But when things get tough, they're

153
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 9: gonna play Indiana at home, Iowa at home, Minnesota, Penn State.

154
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 9: There's gonna be at Oregon at Nebraska at some point

155
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 9: when things are going tough. That leadership that he has

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 9: it is thin, it is, and it's gonna fall through

157
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 9: the ice because it's thin and and and so for me,

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 9: I can just see it now. Everybody's gonna try and

159
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 9: convince me and you that everything's five from a leadership standpoint.

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 9: I promise you there are dozens scores of Husky players

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 9: that are going to be pissed the hell off that

162
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 9: their leaders has done this, particularly if they believe, like

163
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 9: I believe, that it wasn't because he had a change

164
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 9: of heart. It was he realized that he had a

165
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 9: roadblock and he had to turn tail and put his

166
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 9: tail between the legs and come back.

167
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: Hugh Milling with us and Dick.

168
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: We've been doing this a long time, combining like sixty

169
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 3: two years on this radio station, and I have just

170
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: been I am at a loss for words right now, man,

171
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: I am at an absolute loss for words because what

172
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: I've been doing on this radio show is just sharing

173
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: my emotions with fans for three decades, and I sometimes

174
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: I think, do an okay job of turning those emotions

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: into words you and putting them out over the air.

176
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes I do a terrible job of putting those emotions

177
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: into words. I'm just gonna speak from the heart as

178
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: much as I can, and if it makes sense, I

179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: guess it makes sense.

180
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: If it's translatable, then great.

181
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: There's a big part of me right now that is

182
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: just saddened by this whole thing, you know what I'm saying,

183
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: Because You've got a large portion of this fan base

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: as we're sitting here on January of the eighth, there's

185
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: a large portion of this fan base that doesn't like

186
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback for you, Dub and doesn't want him

187
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: to come back and play football for Washington. And I

188
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: never want the Husky football fan base to feel like

189
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: that about the starting quarterback.

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: Ever.

191
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: We've had guys that didn't play well, that got booed

192
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: and weren't great performers. But this is different. This is

193
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: personal now for a lot of Husky fans, and it

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: saddens the hell out of me that there's a lot

195
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: of people out there that feel that way. And I

196
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: don't blame them at all for feeling that way. I'm

197
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: kind of one of them. I'm very concerned if this

198
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: is the right move by jet Fish to allow this

199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: guy to come back. And Hugh, you may be exactly

200
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: right about his reasonings, but I'm nervous about what happens

201
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: when he stumbles on the field. I'm nervous about when

202
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: he makes a mistake late in a game that costs

203
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: the Huskies a game. If it does happen like that

204
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: down the road. There's a lot of this decision, Hugh Millan,

205
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: for lack of a better word, I guess that just

206
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: makes me really really uneasy.

207
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: That's it, just based on the response of the crowd

208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: and the.

209
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: Respond yes, everything, the whole thing, the whole story, because

210
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: this is I don't know how much people's opinions are

211
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: going to change between now in September. I really do

212
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: hope Dick and we talked about this on the air

213
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: off the year, Hugh as well. I really hope that

214
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: Demon Williams talks to the media. I really hope that

215
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: Demon Williams has a press conference and answers any and

216
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 3: all questions thrown his way.

217
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 5: I think he owes that to Husky Nation.

218
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 9: Well, the only thing that would appease me as a fan.

219
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 9: I'm just talking one fan, one former player, one alum,

220
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 9: what have you, Just one guy. But if he actually

221
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 9: came out and said, which I know he will never

222
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 9: say this. What I'm about to say is not going

223
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 9: to happen. I'm aware of that. But if he said

224
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 9: I didn't have any options, the uh, the the legal

225
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 9: challenges that uh the other schools were going to uh undertake,

226
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 9: they weren't willing to uh you know, they didn't want

227
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 9: that smoke.

228
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: So I'm back here, like I would actually go, whoa, dude.

229
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 9: There is a transparent uhle right there. I would actually

230
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 9: respect that more than if he tries to say.

231
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I feel bad for my to because

232
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: I don't buy it. Yeah, I don't buy it.

233
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: I think that, Yeah, you're he's got to be as

234
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: transparent as possible. He's got to be transparent.

235
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, we don't know.

236
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 9: Maybe we will know at some date in the future, dick,

237
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 9: but right now we don't know. And and what happens

238
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 9: is is that there's a visceral response. I'll just speak

239
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 9: for myself. That's like, wait a minute, you're trying this

240
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 9: whole thing. I just smell a whole big buffalo situation,

241
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 9: you know, like like, well, you know they're gonna try

242
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 9: and buffalo us on this and that and this. You know,

243
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 9: he came back because he wanted he wanted to be

244
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 9: a Husky and and all the players are supporting him.

245
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 9: And I'm my all, my I'm gonna say my ass oh,

246
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 9: I ask so spid somewhere else.

247
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 7: Totally echoing out all the thoughts I had last hour

248
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 7: and when this first come back came back. And you know,

249
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 7: I think for me, I'm not I don't have any

250
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 7: animus towards Demand Williams, but my outlook towards next year changes,

251
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 7: and I think it goes from hopeful to skeptical. And

252
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 7: what I mean by that is going into this year,

253
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 7: if this never would have happened over this last week,

254
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 7: I was gonna be hopeful all year that the numbers,

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 7: the accurate numbers that Hugh Millen has put out numerous

256
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 7: times on the air that he just did ten minutes

257
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 7: ago about demand against the crappy teams versus the good teams.

258
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 7: I was gonna be hopeful that with another year of seasoning,

259
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 7: those were gonna change.

260
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 8: Well, Hugh and Dave. I have gone from hopeful to

261
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 8: you sure has helped.

262
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: Man.

263
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 7: If you put us through this, I you better turn

264
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 7: it around against the best teams in the country.

265
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 8: Because otherwise, what did we go through this for.

266
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 7: We could have gotten Boprabulah to go eight and four,

267
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 7: We could have gotten any of these dudes off the

268
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 7: anybody could have gone eight and four with this football

269
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 7: team coming back this year. If you're gonna do this

270
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 7: to us, Demand, you sure as hell better beat those

271
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 7: good teams, go ten and two and get to the

272
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 7: college football players right now.

273
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 8: That's how I'm treating him right now.

274
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 9: Jed Fish has compared Demand to Kyler Murray, who was

275
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 9: a Heisman Trophy winner, number one overall pick and a

276
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 9: two hundred and fifty million dollars quarterback. Right now, I

277
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 9: haven't seen any evidence that he's anything more than Dorian

278
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 9: Thompson Robinson, who was a damn good quarterback through for

279
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 9: ten thousand, seven hundred yards at UCLA. I remember a

280
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 9: game in the Rose Bowl where down on the goal

281
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 9: line dtr put a funk move on some Husky defender.

282
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 9: I can't remember who it was, but it's like, oh

283
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 9: my god, he just he just undressed him right there

284
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 9: at the goal line, like he was a hell of

285
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 9: an athlete. But you know what, he lost four games

286
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 9: is second to last year. He lost four games. His

287
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 9: last year he was drafting the third round. There was

288
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 9: a big difference between Kyler Murray and DTR. And right now,

289
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 9: all all I see is something in akin of DTR.

290
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: So you're right. I think the one way he can

291
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: he can get.

292
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 9: Everybody back is go play at a Heisman level that

293
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 9: I don't think he's capable of doing it. I do

294
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 9: think it's possible that he can do it. I think

295
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 9: he's talent enough that he could do it. If I'm betting,

296
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 9: I would bet he would not do it, and I

297
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 9: and one of the reasons I would bet he would

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 9: not do is right now, this fractures the covenant that

299
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 9: he has with his teammates.

300
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: And and it.

301
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 9: Might be fine when you're beating up on Utah State

302
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 9: aggies and then everybody's chest bump when you go, you know,

303
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 9: oh wow, look at that. They seem to be resolved.

304
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 9: But then when when the rubber hits the road in

305
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 9: the U you know, in the middle of the third

306
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 9: quarter and you're down ten or fourteen to Indiana or

307
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 9: Penn State or whomever whatever it is. Then how how

308
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 9: deep is their bond Because if you're gonna have a

309
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 9: special season, that bond has to be deep. And uh,

310
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 9: he's he's gonna he's gonna have to thread the needle

311
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 9: in multiple ways to somehow acquire that back.

312
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I'm floored by this. I'm very curious

313
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: to see how this plays back. I mean, there's a

314
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: gigantic part of me, Hugh and Dick that thinks this

315
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: is a bad idea to have him return to you,

316
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: dub for everything that you've talked about, Dick and everything

317
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: Hugh's talked about that there just seems to be a

318
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: lot of drama and a lot of scrutiny and a

319
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: lot of barriers that he's gonna have to get through

320
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: to make this, you know, feel good for people you

321
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: know next time, you know.

322
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, and just a quick thought.

323
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 9: On some level, I was prepared to defend this guy

324
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 9: in the following way, like we have how many people

325
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 9: have unloaded? Hey, a contract's a contract, And it is

326
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 9: absolutely true there are people that are hand shaped people,

327
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 9: and those people are to be recognized and lauded right

328
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 9: in life. But I think you look at what greed is.

329
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 9: Is that not part of the DNA of humanity? Jesus

330
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 9: had more parables about money than lover or any other topic.

331
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 9: Look at Socrates and all the and Shakespeare and all

332
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 9: the humanity the evidence of greed. And I would just

333
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 9: ask this. There are a lot of people people say, well,

334
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 9: you got to honor a contract. You know, want to

335
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 9: know why, because most contracts have to be honored. You

336
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 9: don't get a chance to pull out. But here's a

337
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 9: hypothetical thought experiment. How many And maybe you're a man,

338
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 9: maybe you're forty. You're a forty year old man. You

339
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 9: just agreed to sell your house for four and a

340
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 9: half million, but you got a long list of stuff

341
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 9: you gotta do on the inspection report. Then a guy

342
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 9: comes along four days later and he says, I'll give

343
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 9: you a seven million and waive the inspection. And then

344
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 9: you say, well, oh shoot, I'm under contract. Damn I

345
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 9: just signed a contract. But then they say, you know,

346
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 9: just to the analogy, you know, well, the state legislators

347
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 9: is reviewing these real estate contracts, so you've got a

348
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 9: winding time where you those contracts mean nothing, you can.

349
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 5: Just tear it up.

350
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 9: How many people wouldn't for an extra two million and

351
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 9: less assle and and and and that that was with

352
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 9: LSU being able to play with uh, you know, better line,

353
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 9: better receivers, what have you. So I'm trying to make

354
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 9: an analogous situation. How many how many forty year olds

355
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 9: or sixty year olds wouldn't if they had an opportunity,

356
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 9: wouldn't walk away from a contract if it was if

357
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 9: they could that gave them more than two million dollars

358
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 9: more and less work. And if you if you say no,

359
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 9: I wouldn't do that at forty how many of you

360
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 9: wouldn't do it when you're twenty. So I don't think

361
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 9: this is a unique problem to college football players and

362
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 9: college coaches. I think this is a unique feature of

363
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 9: most of humanity. There are honorable people, agreed, But a

364
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 9: hell of a lot of people who have been on

365
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 9: there on their bully pulprit just directing all these freaking

366
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 9: arrows at Demon Williams. If they had a chance in

367
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 9: their own life to get out of a similar contract,

368
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 9: you'd be make your head spin?

369
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 4: How many people do? Because that's part of humanity.

370
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 9: And that's something Jesus and Shakespeare and Socrates and everybody

371
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 9: else is recognized about humans.

372
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: Well, but guess what, Hugh, you might be right about that,

373
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: But on the opposite side of that coin, the people

374
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: that they would be screwing over would be also pissed

375
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 3: off at them for doing that exactly.

376
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 9: That's why I said there's consequences to her actions, right, right,

377
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 9: I agree?

378
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: But but yeah, this is wild? Is this not wild? Guys?

379
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: Just completely unbelievable. One of the craziest, most insane, unpredictable

380
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 3: stories that we've ever covered here in Seattle.

381
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 5: It's not It's not gonna go away.

382
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: This will be a bar top coffee talk, water cooler

383
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: conversation the entire offseason.

384
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 7: You think this will end other kids from doing what

385
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 7: them just did when they find out that maybe it

386
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 7: got roadblocked. Yeah, maybe this will stop this from that.

387
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 7: Maybe the mod will be the one and only person that.

388
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 5: Does about that that.

389
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: Maybe, Hugh, that you dubbed can be now the straw

390
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: that breaks the camel's back and decides change in college football.

391
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: Maybe you dubbed us just got to a point where

392
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: now kids will think twice about doing this before they

393
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: have solid.

394
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 9: Answers, Well, I think I think it's it would be

395
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 9: a narrow band of influence, and it would be the

396
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 9: group of players that had signed a and relatively iron

397
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 9: clad to the extent that we can have ironclad contracts.

398
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 9: I mean, remember now in contract that you always have

399
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 9: these clauses in any good contract where there's a section

400
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 9: about the what breaches the contract, and then there's a

401
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 9: section about remedies.

402
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 4: You know, It's just like Jed Fish could have taken the.

403
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboy job three days after he signed the Washington job,

404
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 9: and they say, okay, well here you know, is it

405
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 9: a breach? No, here's here's the outlined remedies. I assume

406
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 9: that there was outlined remedies in in uh Demon's contract.

407
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 9: So so I think that the the influence would be

408
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 9: the players. You say, wait a minute, if you sign

409
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 9: one of these nil deals with exclusivity, exclusivity to a

410
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 9: certain school for one year, then you're gonna have, you know,

411
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 9: more entanglements than it's worth if you try and get

412
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 9: out of that.

413
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: Right, all right, man, good stuff, More to come. I

414
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: guarantee you that I believe more to come. Man, all right,

415
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: we'll talk soon. But all right, you bet here milling

416
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: with us. By the way, update from the Miami all

417
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,680

00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,720

Speaker 11: Better than you guys? It sounds like. But I would

469
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 11: just as much as I like that saving from Jetfish,

470
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 11: I would still put a lot of blame on him

471
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 11: for even allowing this to happen, as in welcoming him back,

472
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 11: because where you talked about loyalty the other day, where

473
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 11: is Jed's loyalty to the standard that he's supposed to

474
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 11: be setting as a head coach for the Washington Huskies

475
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 11: Right now, he's basically allowing the fracture to happen in

476
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 11: the locker room as he was talking about by welcoming

477
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 11: him back. And I don't know what it is so

478
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 11: that he can make sure that he can at least

479
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 11: make good on his promises of what demand is going

480
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 11: to be. I liken that to Pete Carroll bringing back

481
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 11: Jamal Adams and paying him outrageous amounts of money so

482
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 11: that he can make himself look good for the trade

483
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 11: and trying to put him in a position to get

484
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 11: all those sacks. That's no different to me than what

485
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 11: Jeded is doing. I don't think the jet has any

486
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 11: credibility anymore based on how he's approaching this, because he's

487
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 11: allowed the cancer to come back in his in his

488
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 11: locker room, and as an adult, you should be able

489
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 11: to set a standard for the team that you're leading,

490
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 11: and I don't think he's doing that here.

491
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 7: Appreciate I think we need to compare what Jed's looking

492
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 7: at here. Jeed is looking at item option A bringing

493
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 7: Demond back, a guy that everybody already knows, and him

494
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 7: repairing the relationship between Demand and the rest of the

495
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 7: team as option A. Option B is hopefully grabbing someone

496
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: out of the transfer portal that will actually get along

497
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 7: and be a leader with a new football team. I

498
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 7: think he's got a better chance, and I think he

499
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 7: believes he's got a better chance repairing the fracture with

500
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 7: Demond with the team that already knows him, versus bringing

501
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: a completely new guy in and hoping that guy works

502
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 7: out with his new team.

503
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you know again, I told you the

504
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 3: other day, Dick, that there's three words in this business

505
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: that I think we just don't use enough, and it's

506
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't have any idea how this

507
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: is gonna play out. I really don't. I mean, I

508
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: think any take that You've got is great and justified.

509
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: Any take Jackson's got great justified me. Same thing. This

510
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: is such a unique thing that nobody's really ever been

511
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 3: a part of here. This is what the era of

512
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 3: the atmosphere around college football like. Excuse me, So I

513
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, this could be great. You know,

514
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 3: Demon Williams could handle this unbelievably, say everything he's got

515
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: to say, win fans back, go ball out right, and

516
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 3: be an unbelievable ambassador for you Dub and make people

517
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: forget about this. Or this could be an absolute disaster

518
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 3: for Washington. So I don't know where this is gonna go.

519
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 3: You know, from a media perspective, it's unbelievable.

520
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 8: What does disaster look like here?

521
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Disaster means that half the fan base doesn't like this guy,

522
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: doesn't want him as a starting quarterback, and doesn't want

523
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: a guy that quit on the team's under center for you,

524
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: Dub half the fan base thinks that the only reason

525
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: why he's coming back is because he was shut down

526
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: by LSU and he had no choice. When he struggles,

527
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: people kill him even more than they were killing him

528
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: a year ago.

529
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 8: Do you think that affects the win loss record?

530
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 7: Though?

531
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: Uh, what do you mean effects the win loss record?

532
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: But if he plays poorly an effect and win loss.

533
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's gonna play poor.

534
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if he hears booze in his own stadium,

535
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: you don't think his confidence could be rattled?

536
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 5: Dick, I just don't know.

537
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to make any proclamations about any of

538
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 3: this stuff. I mean, this is exactly the conversation that

539
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: you and I had on Tuesday night that you don't

540
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: want to say no to anything in college football. And

541
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: I got no idea how this fan base is going

542
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: to react. I mean, I'm seeing a lot on Twitter

543
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: that don't like this move, that hate it for the program,

544
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: and a lot of people on Twitter that love it

545
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 3: for the program. I don't know, honestly, if I can

546
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: remember the Husky fan base being this split on a

547
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: topic ever, it's unbelievable.

548
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: Man.

549
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: All right, Jackson, let's go Who's next? David and Pugh Allum, David,

550
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 3: you're on the air.

551
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 12: Go ahead, Hey, good evening, guys. Hey listening to you

552
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 12: guys talk and specifically you talking about like the egg

553
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 12: and the ball and you put it back together, and

554
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 12: there's always craft. This could potentially go really really deep

555
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 12: into the team itself, in fracturing the team itself and

556
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 12: players not wanting to play for him block for him,

557
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 12: you know, and I would hope not. They're but they're

558
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 12: eighteen nineteen year old kids that have emotions and are

559
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 12: hurt by a person that they thought was their teammate

560
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 12: and their leader.

561
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 10: And just left and now he's coming back.

562
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 12: So I think the mending and the healing that Fish

563
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 12: needs to really make an emphasis of. I think that's

564
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 12: a really really important part here, because if he doesn't

565
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 12: really get the team all in alignment going the same

566
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 12: place and going the same way for their quarterback, it

567
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 12: could be not just a terrible disaster, it could be

568
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 12: a catastrophe and you know, for the team and for

569
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 12: Demon and just everybody associated with Washington, it could just

570
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 12: could really really suck if he doesn't get everybody on

571
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 12: the same line.

572
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, the good news for Jet, he's got nine months, right,

573
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: He's got nine months to get that done. There's going

574
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: to be a lot of new players on this football

575
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: team that don't have any preconceived notions or relationship with

576
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: Demon William, so they'll only know that Demon post portal

577
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: chaos story. So that's good. I mean the fact that

578
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: this happened now with nine months to go. But you

579
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: know again, I mean, I just think all those things

580
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: are all those things are possible. I'm just really curious,

581
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: Dick to see how Washington handles this with Demand from

582
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: a public facing perspective. Do they shut him down, does

583
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 3: he say anything? Is he persioned on Grada? Does Jed

584
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: address this? Do we wait until springball now to hear

585
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: from Demand in person?

586
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 5: Do we hear from Jed right away?

587
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd put both of them on the air

588
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 3: tomorrow and get him in a room and have him answered.

589
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: I would just rip off the band aid as quickly

590
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: as possible. Any question that anybody has is fair game,

591
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: and I would get through them all asap.

592
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 7: I would be massively disappointed if those two were not

593
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 7: given the opportunity to talk to the media before springball,

594
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 7: and then we go into spring ball and they're saying

595
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 7: this football only questions, right, I mean, I would be

596
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 7: massively and I think that'd be a bad look for

597
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: the UDUB if that happen.

598
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, again, I just don't know, two years

599
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: covering this football team if I've ever seen this fan

600
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: base fractured like this, Man, Brian's and Berry and Brian,

601
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: You're on the air with Softie Dick Jackson, Go ahead, man.

602
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 13: Based off the ay Dick boy, you he wasn't pissed.

603
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 5: Off, was he? Yeah?

604
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 12: Right?

605
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 5: Oh, we go.

606
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 13: I I personally am just shocked at how shocked people are.

607
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 13: I just I've seen this coming for a long time.

608
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 13: I I mean, it's you follow the coaches, these kids,

609
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 13: see what the coaches do. It's a big money grab.

610
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 13: I mean, I can't believe this is the first time

611
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 13: this has happened, quite honestly.

612
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean quite, uh that first time?

613
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 5: That's what that what's happened. I'm sorry, what do you

614
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 5: mean by that?

615
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 13: So that somebody's tried to break contract that they just signed.

616
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: All right? Got you?

617
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

618
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: Well you know, And then to Dick's point, because Dick

619
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: asked earlier, and I appreciate the comment, what's the difference

620
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 3: between like you know Frick's. I think Vincent Holmes, the safety,

621
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: put his name in the portal, took it out. Will

622
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: Rogers put his name in the portal too, but he

623
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: hadn't played here yet. That's right, because he remember he

624
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: committed to Debor and that Jed talked him out of

625
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: stay in or talked to him into staying. I think

626
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: it's different when you have a starting quarterback. I think

627
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: it's different when you combined like there was a there

628
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: was a stu, a salad of negativity that was involving

629
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: this story. You had the deal he signed, and then

630
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: you lost a couple of guys in the portal and

631
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: maybe you want to back, maybe partially because you're paying

632
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: him four million dollars. Then you had the timing of

633
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: the announcement, obviously, which came during.

634
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: Me as service.

635
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: And then you had the fact that he's the quarterback

636
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: and supposed to be the leader.

637
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: He's supposed to be the.

638
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: Guy that doesn't quit on the football team, and he

639
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: quit on the football team, and he's gonna have to

640
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: mend a lot of fences.

641
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 5: Man, there is no doubt about that.

642
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 7: What's fascinating to me, and it just keeps rattling through

643
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 7: my head is that the Q rating of de Mon

644
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 7: Williams is so high, right, much higher than it was

645
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 7: a week ago. Twenty five or less percent of college

646
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 7: football man knew who DeMont Williams was a week ago.

647
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 7: Right now, almost one hundred percent of college football fans

648
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 7: know who DeMont Williams are. Do you think that positively

649
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 7: affects the publicity that Washington gets going into this season

650
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 7: and maybe even gives him a better chance of being

651
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 7: ranked in the top twenty five because everybody knows who

652
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 7: their quarterback is and everybody knows he was wanted by LSU.

653
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well more people know him now than before, There's

654
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: no question about that. I mean, this was the biggest

655
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: story in college football for the last forty eight hours, right,

656
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: even bigger than these games, bigger than the right. It

657
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: was unbelievable. So we'll do this.

658
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: We're gonna break Jackson. Can we any more calls? Next segment?

671
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: want to just before we get the phone calls on

672
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: this story. By the way, you're tuning in right now.

673
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Demon Williams is returning to UDUB. Yes that's true, all right,

674
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: No it is not. It is January eighth. He is

675
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: returning to U dub. He announced on his Instagram account

676
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: a few what about half hour ago or so Jackson

677
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: officially that he is returning. I want to just read

678
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: you guys real quick, and just got a quick thought

679
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: from both of you before we go back to the

680
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: phone calls. Here what I just wrote on x or Twitter.

681
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes the idiot and me, it helps me to put

682
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: some thoughts down on my Twitter account. So I said,

683
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: here's my take. I've gone from anger to uneasiness. I

684
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: don't know if allowing Damon back is the right thing.

685
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: If you asked me yesterday, I would say no, and

686
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: I still think i'd say no. This is unlike anything

687
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: I think I've ever experienced as a Husky fan. I've never,

688
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: in thirty two years in this business, seen the fan

689
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: base this split on an issue this big. To say

690
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: that I'm nervous and skeptical about how it will out

691
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: is an understatement.

692
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 5: How do you feel? So that's what I just put

693
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: on Twitter. So your thoughts on that.

694
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 7: I think the last time this this school was this

695
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 7: split was probably whether to fire Tyrone Willingham or not,

696
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 7: because I remember that was after the seven season. Yes,

697
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 7: that was a fifty to fifty split right down the middle.

698
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 7: Half of them were saying ty sucks him and saying, oh,

699
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 7: I'll give him one more He's you know, let's let's

700
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 7: give him one more chance.

701
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 8: But you know, I agree with you. I think uneasy

702
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 8: he's a great word for me.

703
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 7: I just think there's a whole lot that Demon Williams

704
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 7: has to prove to me over the next twelve months.

705
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 7: First of all, he's got a he's got to prove

706
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 7: that he's contrite and I need more than an Instagram post.

707
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 7: I need to hear from Demon Williams. I need to

708
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 7: sit in the same room with the Mon Williams at

709
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 7: a press conference and look at his face while he's

710
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 7: saying it.

711
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 8: I need to see it from Jed Fish as well.

712
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then I need Demon Williams to play better

713
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 7: than he did this year.

714
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to have to be coached up on

715
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: how to deal with the media too. And the questions, Man,

716
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: no doubt, Jackson, what do you think?

717
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 5: I hate this?

718
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 4: I hate all this.

719
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: And I thought, listen, I'm staying open to hearing from

720
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 6: him at a press conference and he better be very,

721
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 6: very emotional, and that better be real, real emotion, not

722
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 6: fake emotion that comes from a young kid who's forced

723
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 6: to give it. But right now, listen, as a Husky fan,

724
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 6: this kid just said, ooh, more money at LSU. And

725
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 6: whoever people in his corner, his dad is, you know,

726
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 6: people close to the family who convince him to, you know,

727
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 6: agree to make the LSU move, and you go to

728
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 6: the transfer portal like I'm sorry, like all of you,

729
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 6: like I just I am not going to forgive you

730
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 6: very easily. It's gonna take a lot more than winning

731
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 6: nine or ten games, It's gonna take a lot more

732
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 6: than just tears at a press conference. It's gonna take

733
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 6: a lot more than that, because at the end of

734
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 6: the day, man, and we also we all know these

735
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 6: are just you know, paid mercenaries to come for programs.

736
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 14: We know that's what college football is.

737
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 6: But damn if I don't try to believe that you

738
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 6: have some loyalty to the purple and gold of the

739
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 6: University of Washington, and for you to throw that loyalty

740
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 6: away for a couple million bucks and then to throw

741
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 6: it away well, doing it during the during what happened

742
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 6: to Mia Hamman and everything in the University Washington a

743
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 6: couple of days ago. To put your announcement on Instagram

744
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 6: during that, well, your teammates and coaches were at her service.

745
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 5: Man, screw you for doing that.

746
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 6: I don't care if you're back being the quarterback and

747
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 6: under center at the University of Washington. I will never

748
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 6: forgive you for doing that part of it.

749
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Gotcha all right? Jim and West Seattle. Jim, you're

750
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: on with us Toffy Dick Jackson on kJ R, how

751
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: are you.

752
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 15: Man, Well, I'm upset with Judge Fish he's not a

753
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 15: quality coach. It proves the fact that he doesn't have

754
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 15: a backup quarterback. You gotta blame Fish. He praised Williams

755
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 15: as this Greek god player, and I always look at

756
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 15: Don James. He always had one or two quarterbacks who

757
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 15: are upstanding. Remember nineteen eighty five when Hugh Millan came

758
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 15: in and basically should have won the national championship when

759
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 15: they beat Oklahoma. Hugh Millan was not the starter and

760
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 15: who was his backup in nineteen eighty five for Hugh

761
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 15: Millen Paul Chandler.

762
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 3: Well, Paul Sickero was on that team too, Yet Chandler,

763
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: he was the Sarler came the year. Chandler came the

764
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: year I think I think his first year was eighty

765
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: six if I'm not mistaken. But Chandler was not on this.

766
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: Chandler was on that team, on the eighty four team.

767
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 3: But guys, can we can we admit into what.

768
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 15: My point is ahead is that Don James, who was

769
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 15: who is the backup to Billy Holbert, Mark, Mark Rudell,

770
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 15: Jeff Judge.

771
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 12: Fish did not have a backup quarterback?

772
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: What is this? But he would have gotten Daves? What

773
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 5: is he would have gotten on. I'm sorry, what's his name, David?

774
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 5: I believe Jam, Jim, Jeff Jim.

775
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 7: You do realize that nil did not exist in nineteen ninety.

776
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 14: Correct, No team has, No team.

777
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 7: Has backup quarterbacks now because the backup quarterbacks leave for

778
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 7: starting jobs elsewhere.

779
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 15: I'm not going to defend fish. I still think he

780
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 15: didn't need to have an outstanding or at least he

781
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 15: should be paying somebody three million as a backup quarterback

782
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 15: or do something, because any any outstanding coach has a backup,

783
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 15: a backup quarterback to help the game. If they don't,

784
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 15: it kind of shows.

785
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 5: The win gym.

786
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: Listen, I got to cut you off because we want

787
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 3: to get some more calls. But I'll just say this,

788
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. If your point is that he's

789
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: only bringing him back because he had no I mean,

790
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: he would have gotten somebody, maybe not to Demon Williams level,

791
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: And maybe Jed believes that this is the best call

792
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 3: because the guys he could have gotten were not going

793
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 3: to be as good as Demon Williams. But don't allow

794
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: what the roster looks like now to dictate to you

795
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: what the roster would have looked like in September, he

796
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: would have gotten somebody in the portal. I'll just say

797
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 3: that Josh is in Takomba, Joshu are on the air

798
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: with us.

799
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 5: Go ahead, dude, Hey guys.

800
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 16: So the biggest thing I take away this obviously is

801
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 16: with them on his decision, and with that he brought

802
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 16: so many bridges. He lost so much trust in the team,

803
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 16: the coaching staff, the stan base, And honestly, I don't

804
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 16: see anything outside of a true selfless act like donating

805
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 16: his nil money to cancer research or something like that. Well, actually,

806
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 16: you know, gain that trust back, because right now he

807
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 16: just looks like a selfish guy, right, wrong or indifferent.

808
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 16: That's that's the reality. He brought so much trust here

809
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 16: and he's got to do something truly selfless to actually

810
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 16: try to earn that back.

811
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, appreciate the call, man.

812
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: It's interesting.

813
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I would add that that would be.

814
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 7: A show if he if he donated a chunk of

815
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 7: cast in the University of Washington Medical Builders, that would

816
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 7: do a lot for me.

817
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: Well, that's how you do it, right, Like you go

818
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 3: to the extremes, right, whether whether negative or whether positive,

819
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: you go to the extremes.

820
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 5: And you you.

821
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: You have a press conference with the press, and you

822
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: take every question and you blame nobody but yourself, and

823
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 3: you make an announcement like that that you know, fifty

824
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 3: percent of your nil is going right back to the

825
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: cancer research center over at UDUB or Fred hutch or

826
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: whatever you you. You go all out. Your legacy is

827
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: on the line here, right and that's important. It may

828
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: not be important to him right now, but when he's

829
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 3: fifty two years old like us, it'll damn well be important.

830
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 3: By the way, let's get one more Marcus an ever

831
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: it Mark, you're on the air, Go.

832
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 17: Ahead, man, hey man, thanks for taking my call and

833
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 17: talk with you guys in a long time. But I

834
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 17: definitely had to chime in.

835
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 16: On this one.

836
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 12: I'm not forgiving this kid.

837
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 5: Well.

838
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 17: He just put the fan base through what he put

839
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 17: you through, what he put so many people through.

840
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 12: This last you know, two three days is insane. The

841
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 12: fact that it could even be allowed, I I you know,

842
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 12: should we all pinch ourselves?

843
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 17: Are we really live in this new reality where every

844
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 17: year we have to have the feeling that our coach

845
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 17: or our players are always going to leave. It's yeah,

846
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 17: I'm so lost, you know, I've been going to game

847
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 17: since nineteen eighty, had seven tickets last nineteen years, and

848
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 17: this year I was just pretty much saying, Hey, I

849
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 17: guess I'm just going to go for your twenty and

850
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 17: then just watch them from the sofa because the investment

851
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 17: in this sport is not it's not giving me the

852
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 17: returns that I'm wanting.

853
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 10: And then to allow a.

854
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 12: Kid to do this, to manipulate us, and you know,

855
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 12: I'd be sick.

856
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 17: I'm a grown ass man, but man, this kid, he

857
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 17: twisted and turned like a knife in our back and

858
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 17: I just don't see how you come back from that.

859
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 17: And when I heard the report that if there was

860
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 17: a possibility of him coming back, I would just like.

861
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 10: There's no way.

862
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 17: There's no way, because I'm gonna be in my seat

863
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 17: and I'm gonna have to foo this kid because he

864
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 17: deserves it.

865
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: Man, well I will. I will say this. Man, I

866
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: appreciate the call. Uh, this is just one player's opinion

867
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: who's no longer on the roster. But Zion Tupoloa Fatui

868
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: just tweeted out, I don't know, man, it's gonna be

869
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: hard to It's gonna be a hard relationship to fix

870
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: this with the fan base. I think the damage is done,

871
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: says ZTF. Okay, so there's gonna be a lot of

872
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 3: X players that will have a take on this, and

873
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: some will support and some will criticize. But either way,

874
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: I think I would just hope that one thing all

875
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: of us can agree is that whether we like it

876
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: or whether we don't like it, or whether we're indifferent.

877
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 5: There's risk here. Yeah, there's risk.

878
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 3: Risk and letting this develop and letting this happen the

879
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: way it did. So let's hope it's all worth it, right.

880
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: Let's hope that demand handles it the right way. Let's

881
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: help Jet and Pat Chun handle it the right way.

882
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: Let's hope the university handles it the right way, and

883
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: that we can move on.

884
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 5: Hear what we need to hear, see what we need

885
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 5: to see.

886
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: And the risk turns into a major reward for everybody,

887
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: and that there's a happy ending to this story. Right now,

888
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: in my gut, I am extremely uneasy about this. Okay,

889
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: I'll just leave it at that for now. We've got

890
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: a break cracking coming up.

891

Speaker 3: to one in their last nine.

905
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 14: They've won four in a row.

906
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 3: And I gotta be honest with you, man, if this

907
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: team starts losing again, I'm getting the hell off this

908
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: interview because ever since I've been gone, they've been kicking

909
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: everybody's ass. And the head coach Lane Lambert before tonight's

910
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 3: came of Minnesota joining us right now on the radio show, Coach,

911
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 3: how are you man?

912
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 16: Good?

913
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 10: Good?

00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 16: Thanks?

915
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 10: I actually can't even believe you're on this interview.

916
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: Listen, man, you know what, I gotta get that vacation

917
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: time out of the way before the year comes to

918
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: an end.

919
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 14: But I am volunteering.

920
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 5: Man.

921
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: If this doesn't continue, I will sit aside and Dick

922
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: can take over. So what has been the key to

923
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 3: all this? This team has turned it around a total

924
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: one eighty. You haven't lost in nine games. What's what's

925
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 3: your take on what's been spurring this run?

926
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 16: Man?

927
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 10: Well, first, let's go back to the before the nine games.

928
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 10: We thought we were you know, we thought we were

929
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 10: playing pretty well during the stretch where we were not winning.

930
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 10: We were coming on there out on the wrong side,

931
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 10: just finding ways to lose by one goal. You know,

932
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 10: we had tied or leading in third periods and just

933
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 10: making some mistakes that we that we couldn't afford to make.

934
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 10: We've cleaned those up a little bit. Our power play

935
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 10: has been good, our penalty kill has been better, and

936
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 10: our goaltenders have been playing excellent for us. So, you know,

937
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 10: just a little bit of a little bit of a change.

938
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 10: Sometimes it's a little puck luck, but certainly the guys

939
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 10: are committed and they're playing for each other, and you know,

940
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,479
Speaker 10: it's nice to see.

941
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the offensive game plan, because these numbers

942
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 7: are even for a dummy like me to come up

943
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 7: with the average you had in your losing stretch, you

944
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 7: had twenty two goals in eleven games for two goals

945
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 7: per game. In the last nine games, you've scored thirty six,

946
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 7: so you've exactly doubled your goals per game output in

947
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 7: the last nine games.

948
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 4: What is the reason for that?

949
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 10: I think that, you know, I think our power plays

950
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 10: hot and again, we were getting chances back in that stretch,

951
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 10: and we just weren't capitalizing on them. Sometimes, you know,

952
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 10: with the ebbs and flows of the season, you know,

953
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 10: sometimes you get hot and sometimes you don't. And I

954
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 10: think the biggest concern is always if you're not getting

955
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 10: the chances, and you know, we were getting the chances,

956
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 10: we just weren't finding a way to get it into

957
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 10: the back of the net. And now we are so

958
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 10: again it's good to see and we would love it

959
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 10: to keep going in that trend.

960
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 14: Well, that coach, that highlight we heard they are coming

961
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 14: in Berkeley.

962
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 3: Caton second of his two goals the other night against Boston.

963
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 3: Give us if you can a little bit of insight

964
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 3: into this kid. Young guy had his first two goals.

965
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: What's he been like behind the scenes. How is he

966
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 3: handling being a.

967
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 14: Professional at such a young age.

968
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 10: So far, he's doing a really good job, you guys,

969
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 10: and you know you're right. It is a young age.

970
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 10: You know, his teammates love him.

971
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 4: Uh, he's uh, he's.

972
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 10: Living with Chandler Stevenson's family, So that's a really positive

973
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 10: thing for him, you know, just to get his his

974
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 10: feet under him here as a as a pro hockey player.

975
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 10: This is not an easy job. It's not an easy league.

976
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 10: It's completely different from where he came from. And the

977
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 10: one thing that I've thought he's done a really really

978
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 10: good job of is he's handled and I'm sure inside

979
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 10: it's probably bothered him a little bit obviously, but he's

980
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 10: handled the fact that he hasn't scored up until the

981
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 10: other night, he hasn't scored a goal. He's handled it

982
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 10: very well. And I think he's kept his confidence through

983
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 10: the whole thing, because I haven't seen a change in

984
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 10: him in terms of how he wants the puck, the

985
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 10: place he makes with the puck. A lot of times

986
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 10: when guys lose their confidence, they just want to get

987
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 10: rid of the puck, and that's not the way it

988
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 10: is for him. So I think he's done a real

989
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 10: good job of handling a little bit of adversity. And

990
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 10: I'm hoping that you know, these these sort of monkey

991
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 10: off the back goals can get him going here even better.

992
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 7: Cracking head coach Lane Lambert joining us here in ninety

993
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 7: three point three KJRFM coach. We talked a lot about

994
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 7: the second half of back to backs and that was

995
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 7: a struggle for this franchise, dating before you even got here. Well,

996
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 7: you've had a lot of back to backs recently, and

997
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 7: in the second half of back to backs recently you're

998
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 7: three to zero to one. So was there a different

999
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 7: plan put in place over the last two three weeks

1000
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 7: to kind of deal with those second half of the

1001
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 7: back to backs.

1002
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 10: I mean, it's just a mindset and it's a mentality,

1003
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 10: and you know, as a coaching staff, we've really tried

1004
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 10: to drill at home that there aren't any excuses. You

1005
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 10: can't use it as an excuse. We've tried to use

1006
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 10: our entire bench to the best of our abilities and

1007
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 10: distribute those ice times over the course and not only

1008
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 10: the first game of the back to back, but also

1009
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 10: the second game of the back to back. We've talked

1010
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 10: about having and needing to get contributions from everyone, and

1011
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 10: so that's part of what it is, you know, to

1012
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 10: maintain and manage the fatigue level. And our goaltenders have

1013
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 10: played well, and we've kind of ran into a little

1014
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 10: bit of a scenario which is different than they've had

1015
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 10: in the past here where Joey's played the second game

1016
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 10: of the back to back instead of the first game

1017
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 10: of the back to back, and I think both goaltenders

1018
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 10: have played extremely well. I don't care who you are

1019
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 10: in this league, if you don't have a goalie that

1020
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 10: plays well in a back to back, you don't stand

1021
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 10: much of a chance of winning because it is a

1022
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 10: more difficult game to play, especially when you have teams

1023
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 10: sitting there waiting for you, like Boston was here for

1024
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 10: two days waiting for us. You know, Vancouver was here

1025
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 10: waiting for us, you know, coming out of the break.

1026
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 10: So I think we've done a pretty good job from

1027
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 10: that standpoint of managing the goaltenders.

1028
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, coach, before we talk about Minnesota tonight, we're

1029
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: just talking on the air, off the air about you know,

1030
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 3: what you guys are doing on the ice since I

1031
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: was on vacation and you asked me off the ear,

1032
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 3: am I superstitious? And I said absolutely, I'm superstitious man.

1033
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 3: So again I mean, if you guys lose tonight, this

1034
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: may be the last you hear from me the entire year.

1035
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 14: I'm telling you right now. So are you superstitious?

1036
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 3: Do you have any crazy, wacky superstitions you can share

1037
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: with us?

1038
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 10: Well, I won't talk to you if we don't win

1039
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 10: the game tonight.

1040
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 4: So here we go about it.

1041
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 14: Get the hell out of here.

1042
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 4: Dam more time off for me.

1043
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 10: Great, Yeah, here, I'll tell you. I'll tell you a

1044
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 10: funny story if you got a moment now. I used

1045
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 10: to be extremely superstitious when I was with the Washington Capitols.

1046
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 10: We were on a ten twelve game winning streak. I

1047
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 10: wore the same suit, same tie, everything, and I couldn't

1048
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 10: find my tie one night on the way to the game,

1049
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 10: and I said to my wife, I go, where's my tie?

1050
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 10: Where's that tie? I can't find it? And she said,

1051
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 10: why do you need the tie? I said, because we

1052
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 10: win with the tie. And she said, what makes you

1053
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 10: think that your tie has any bearing on this hockey game?

1054
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 10: These National Hockey League players winning this hockey game. And

1055
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 10: I thought to myself, you know what, she makes a

1056
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 10: pretty good point there. So I completely stopped being superstitious

1057
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 10: and we ended up winning the Stanley Cup. How's that?

1058
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: There?

1059
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 4: You go?

1060
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 7: Well, the wife always knows, there's no question about that. Hey,

1061
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 7: final thing for me, Softie may have one more from me.

1062
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 14: I just want to hear your thoughts about Grooby.

1063
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 7: Grooby had a very rough season last year, there is

1064
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 7: no question about and he is playing statistically as well

1065
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 7: as he's ever played in his entire career this year.

1066
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 7: So what's the change?

1067
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 10: Well, for me, I had Philip Grubauer in Washington. I

1068
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 10: don't know what, you know, how it went here the

1069
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 10: last little bit, and I don't really care how it

1070
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 10: went here the last little bit. I think when I

1071
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 10: got the job and him and I had the relationship,

1072
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 10: and we brought in Colin Zuliano, our new goalie coach,

1073
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 10: who's done an amazing job with all three goalies, I think,

1074
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 10: you know, it was just a fresh start for him.

1075
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 10: He handled he handled that very well in terms of

1076
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 10: you know, his summer and how he prepared, and he

1077
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 10: came in focused on one thing and one thing only,

1078
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 10: and that was to play well. And he's done it.

1079
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 10: And so I'm really really happy for him. I know,

1080
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 10: you know, he actually I think he keeps getting asked

1081
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 10: questions about last year, but past his past, he's playing

1082
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 10: well right now and that's all we care about. And

1083
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 10: good for him.

1084
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,720
