It’s GAMEDAY!! Is this the biggest regular-season game in the last 5 years? 10 years? The Seahawks will be without Charles Cross tonight and we still don’t know if the Rams will be without Adams or not, but their other wide receiver, Puka Nacua is the one making headlines this week. :30- Should Kyle Shanahan win Coach of the Year? The 49ers have dealt with more injuries than anyone and they’re still in contention to win the NFC West. What’s going on at UW? Several big name players are heading to the transfer portal- do they know something we don’t? Does it have something to do with the Jedd Fisch rumors to Michigan? :45- With the game tonight, it’s No Cliché Keys to Victory on a Thursday! What will it take for the Seahawks to beat the Rams? No cliches allowed!

Pluto getting Bucky jacobs and vibes and former.

X athlete.

Five seven guard and a former college water polo and

Wow, this is Chuck and Buck in the Morning with

Hi Archer, nothing but plastic, I guess, nothing but ben.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, gotta make you feel pretty good. It's not about me, Ashley,
It's about the collective. Makes me feel pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's a sign that we're winning the night.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, game that's second game Day. Good morning, and
welcome into the radio program. It is Chucking Buck in
the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three k j
R f M. Great to have you on this Thursday.
But NAJA has any run of the mill Thursday. Oh no,
that's child's play. Ah, this is game day, and a
(01:54):
game day right here on Chuck and Buck in the
Mornings is special enough. But when it is the game
of the year to this point in the season, my goodness,
clear all the necks. I hope that your mind is
uncluttered today, Bucky, because we're going hard on sea Hawks
versus Rams. It's up to us. It's up to us
(02:14):
to set the tone for how.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
This game's gonna go down today. Well, I'm gonna leave
that up to you and Ashley set in tone. I
will be as uncluttered as possible. Uh, that's not saying
a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You look pretty cluttered over.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
There, That's what I mean. I said it's uncluttered as possible.
There's gonna be some clutter. I don't mean to clutter
your guys's things. Oh jeez, but I'm gonna. I'll try
to stay out of the way.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
We're trying to get from here to there, right and
you know what, there is no a win. Yeah, and
you better not stand in the way with all of
your clutter.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I'll try not to wait.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
To the side.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Sweep it to the side.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Not very good sweepers in here was the bad sweeper.
Now two of you not get sleeping? What are we
going to do with ourselves?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Why am I good? It's sweeping? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
But at least you know. It's a weakening, it really is.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That makes an odd thing to be bad, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Because it's not hard.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But at least I'm self aware, at least I know
what my week are.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
That makes it strength.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, but I don't know for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I agree, Oh no.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
That doesn't make it a strength because if it's like
I'm not good at it, so I'm not going to
do it there, then you don't get the work in.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I just leven places where I don't have to do it.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, oh that's smart. Yeah, like it's they sweep themselves.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Like you vacuum. You just have a carpet.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm a good vacuumer. Yeah, yeah, you're vacuum, vacuum my
butt off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And plus I don't need
to sweep in my house because I live with a germophobe,
so she sweeps thirty three thousand times a day, so
there's no reason for it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, that's why you don't have to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, this goes all the way back to my childhood.
I would just look at my mom and say, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Just shooting it across the kitchen one side to the other.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She was like, how is it dirtier now than it
was before you started. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You sound like my son I would have comes sweeping
just how he answers, I am trying.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Good morning, it's great to have you with us here
on this Thursday. It is a game day and we
will devote most of our show today, not all of it,
but most of our show today to previewing this Thursday
night matchup. And it's not just the biggest game of
the year for the Seahawks. This is the biggest Thursday
night game of the year. This is the best way
that the National Football League has come up with for
(04:40):
starting a week of their season. I mean, the nation
has switched on to this game. The nation can't the
best in the nation, they can't wait for kickoff tonight
at five point fifteen, and obviously here in Seattle, considering
the significance of the game, what it could mean for
visional race for seeding in the playoff. I mean, we
(05:04):
lock up a spot in the playoffs tonight. So it's
it's certainly magical for the two participants, but it doesn't
stop there. Certainly, this is the biggest game of the
year for Thursday night football and the best way they've
come up with yet for starting a week of football action.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well, yeah, I'm gonna get that at that point in
the year. I heard somewhere yesterday that this is the
first time ever to eleven and three teams have played
on a Thursday night, so it might be the best
Thursday night football game of all time.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'll go with you.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's not ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I haven't done the research, but yes.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, I heard it somewhere.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I heard it somewhere, and I'm sure that everything you
hear or read is true.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Actually, if it's on TikTok, Twitter or Instagram.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, three, that cannot be questioned.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
It's just if it's on the interweb, yeah, or webs
then it's factual. And so I'm going to go with
it as well, best Thursday night football game of all time.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But those sources are as impeachable as my sweep.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
One hundred percent. Yep, it's actually very similar to that.
And yet, I mean this point in the season, every
game does seem I mean, if you're in it near
in some sort of race for a division or buys
or you know, on the bubble making it or not,
it's bigger. But once, I mean, the ad isn't anything
that can be bigger than a division foe you're tied with.
(06:23):
I mean, the difference between winning this game and losing
this game is huge. Now, It's not It's not you
win and you're out, like can happen sometimes on you know,
a week eighteen or you know, the final game of
the season. It's not that I think that whoever loses
this game is still going to find a way into
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
But you're talking about probably a first.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Round by is on the line, traveling all the travel
that goes into playing on the road and having that
extra game, all the different stuff that goes into it.
Not to mention just the continued either success or lack
thereof against a division foe that you're trying to knock
off and kind of become the king of the hill.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
You're saying it juice. I think it's got juice.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I think that, you know, in my I have a
hard time at times saying this is a big game.
You know, typically that's in baseball in like April, But
this is a big game.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, this is a big.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Game in the NFL season, as big of a game
as I can remember in the Seahawks season in quite
some time.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, I think maybe we're a little prisoner of the moment.
I mean, when I first moved here, you're I mean
you were coming off Alm Butler, That's when I first
moved here and under your breath. Yeah, And certainly that
was still a great football team. Seahawks still had a
great football team, back to back Super Bowl appearances, and
(07:40):
the forty nine ers were riding high at that point.
So I know, I know that there were regular season
games that rivaled this one. But because I can't right
now call it just out of your memory, this does
feel like the biggest regular season game. It's certainly the
biggest we've had and seven eight years. Yes, maybe it's
(08:01):
not the biggest we've had in ten years because you're
getting back to legion the boom days. Maybe there was
a forty nine er matchup post super Bowl appearances, or
a Rams matchup that was slightly more anticipated, better on
paper than this one, but I don't remember it. This
to me is the is the one. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I can't think of anything that stands out, And I
can't think of anything that stands out since the Butler game,
like since that year, because obviously that was the year
that those were the two years where we were super
Bowl bound and you know, everything was the dynasty was, yeah,
was bigger, and so since then, I would say, as
(08:42):
and you're right, it could be prisoner of the moment.
It could be that we're just thinking of these you know,
but with this team and the way that they've been
playing and the way that the expectations we now have
and what's on the line, and I mean who you're
playing against, and what the last game was, I mean
all of those things all together.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I mean, this is big.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Stage to yourself. Yeah, primetime football.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Sure, uniforms, Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Gross, I did not thank you?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What that's how those are great? Looking union.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Didn't think about that until this very moment I thought
about it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
They've been promoting it the heck out of it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It look great.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
You guys are going to change your tune once you
see him out there. So nice, little aerodescent greeny blue.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
They look so much like Oregon's uniforms. I think there
might be a point where I'm like, come on, boo,
complete a pass. Wait a minute, it's Sam.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah you'll.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I just like that.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
The Seahawks really have gotten involved in trying the extra things.
The Hawks have been doing, clearly to just get in
the rams head. You know, the flight from LA yesterday
was delayed. There was quote unquote mechanical issues. They had
to get a new plane. Sean McVay is coming off
the flue. He had to take a separate flight.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Mmm.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Way to work your You know, his wife having a
baby this past week, so he's probably sleep deprived. I mean,
this is all Mike McDonald and the Seahawks working their magic.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I love it when McDonald induces a pregnancy smart coach. Wait,
his head's always in the game, it is.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, I should have maybe save that for the playoffs.
So don't you guys.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Think, Yeah, I know what, you get to the playoffs
first buy.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, and we want that one seed really badly, so
I would I would mess it. Yeah, if you know
he's aad coach, I don't blame him for messing with
a pregnant woman's health. Right Yeah, well, yeah, there's a
lot going on. Let me update you on the latest
actual information. Charles Cross. Maybe he's tapping out because he
(10:48):
doesn't want to wear that uniform, but he is out.
He is not going to play. I really when the
when Sunday's game ended, I wasn't thinking that we were
going to be without Charles Cross on the But we're
without Charles Cross on Thursday, and Josh Jones will get
the start, certainly, somebody that's played very little. I do
(11:09):
remember saying some positive things about him way back in
preseason games, how good he looked, but hasn't played much
this year, and of course those were preseason games. Profile
is that he's more of a pass blocker than a
run blocker, which I'm a okay with. But that's going
to be a replacement at left tackle, and certainly it's
going to be something that we'll discuss throughout the show today.
(11:32):
DeVante Adams is doubtful. I think the read on most
people out there on the inside is that Sean mcvays
knows he's not going to play, but just doesn't want
to announce it prematurely. Why make Mike McDonald prepare for
having to face a future Hall of Famer in DeVante
(11:53):
Adams and so it doesn't look so it looks like
it's a one for one, looks like they won't have Adams,
looks like we won't have Cross. But what a weird
week leading up to this game for one, Puka Nakua,
I mean, this has been one strange week.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Another thing Mike McDonald has done clearly.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I mean
it's not like he's done anything terrible, but he just
keeps getting involved in all of these strange storylines, like
on a podcast, nothing wrong, nothing wrong. I mean, I'm
not going to judge anybody that never wants to get married,
that's for sure. But nonetheless he made headlines with it.
What a weird thing to make headlines with that. He
(12:34):
was on a podcast and said that he got burned
in a relationship and it made him never want to
get married again. So that made that made not really
headlines headlines, but social media headlines, which there's a difference.
He's brother like stole the car, and I think it
was a friend of his. Yeah, it was a Lakers player,
(12:54):
so I think it was a prank. I don't think
that Samson was stealing somebody's car. My guess is they
were out, probably hanging out together, and he thought it
would be funny to take his keys that got exposed
and think that make the guy think like he lost
his car. I don't know. I don't know the details.
But nonetheless, another story that he got involved in, uh
(13:16):
this week, and then the one that actually is of
significance football wise, uh yesterday he said he made the
headline that he believes and I don't know why anyone
would ever say this. It's just reckless that some officials
blow calls on purpose so that they can make so
(13:37):
they can be on television and call their buddies and
laugh about how they blew that. Did you see me
blow that call? You know? He he said that, and
the two hosts, if you want to even call them that,
they were like four years old. Each of them were
no be kidding, and he was tongue in cheeking it,
(13:59):
but there obviously was some substance to it. So pukin
Theaku is going to play his first game tonight after
the officials have heard the news that he thinks that
they rig calls on purpose just so they can get
attention on television.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, not the brightest move that could work out his
advantage Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What a weird forty eight hours for a great player
who I don't ever remember like raising his hand and
doing anything.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No, I'm pretty sure most of what I've heard is
that he's a good dude. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
He did also say that he was gonna do or
he did learn some apparently anti Semitic dance and said
he was going to score a touchdown and do that.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I watched the dance. I don't even know what about it.
I don't even know what about it as anti Semitic.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I don't But that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Mean like rubbing his hands like this.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
It's whatever they said though, is apparently something against Jewish people.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I didn't even hear that. Ye add that to the list.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Yeah, I mean I honestly when I started hearing it,
like the first thing I saw was he went on
with that streamer guy. When I was podcast, and the
first thing was like Jacks Smooth and jigbit home studying
his playbook, Puka Nakua out filming a podcast with the
streamer guy, and I'm like, Okay, that just seems silly.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Like that's much ado about nothing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I think the thing with the referees, I don't think
there's very many athletes that actually like the officials of
their sport, right, There's very few because they're typically you're
going to get screwed over by them or feel that
you got screwed over by them many many times over
the course of your career. So him thinking it no
big deal, saying it and then letting it be published
(15:33):
out there for the is just dumb, right. I mean,
it's I can say now because no umpire's going to
screw me over on a close pitch.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
That was a mall.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
But I would never have said it when I was playing,
because they are human and they do have egos and
they will be like, okay, hmmm, watch this offensive pass
interference that I don't blow or maybe I do on
you tonight. I wouldn't Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, I don't know. I don't know if they go.
I think if we had gene on he would say
we would never do that, but he would he would
be bothered by the insinuation, certainly by a player, but
just odd. I don't again, I don't think that he'd
said anything horrible. I think he was trying to be funny,
and he may not just be funny. And yeah, you're right,
(16:20):
you were on a podcast with a couple of goofballs
making silly statements that made social media headlines. And you
know what, you're right, Jackson Smith and Jigba is probably
laser focused on playing playing the biggest game of the year.
So I mean, we're going to get a very good
version of Pooka Nakula tonight. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
(16:40):
It's not going to impact the outcome of the game
unless some official really does take it that personally. But
it's just odd that this week, of all weeks, Poka
Nakula is involved in like four or five different weird
stories when I've never heard him involved with one ever before,
and he was here playing college football for a year.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
It usually seems like he's just yeah, like the you know,
head down focused, I'm here to play.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Everyone says good guy.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
I don't think anything necessarily that he's done makes him
a bad guy. I think that he has used maybe
some poor judgment this week, and especially timing wise, you
shouldn't be taking the focus away from your team and
what you're at. I mean, this is a big game
for them too, so I think, and especially you might
not have Davante Adams, so you are the primary target there.
I mean, it's just I think I heard we read
(17:30):
at one point too that he wanted to bring these
streamers or podcasters to the RAMS facility, and Sean McVay
shut that that down and was like, no, we're not
having that here, not this week.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, I don't know, very very strange. Wouldn't surprise me
if he gets back on campus and go streaking. He
just seems to be in that kind of weird He
seems to be in a Frank the tank kind of
mood right now. Maybe he's having a midlife crisis at age,
twittering that, Yeah, I don't know, very strange, but what
(18:00):
a weird week for the Nkouas. But that guy's a
monster man, and he is going to be a problem tonight.
There's no doubt about it, all right, let's find out
what's on tap for today's game day radio show.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
What's on TEP.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
What's on TEP?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
As I said, and as you probably figured, a huge preview,
practically a four hour preview of tonight's game between the
Rams and the Hawks. Our twelve man round table will
assemble from eight to nine today, a game day round
table with Hugh Millon and Greg Bell. So of course
you're going to be listening for that. The weather, by
the way, probably should be updated and we will get
(18:39):
a full report. We're going to actually reach out to
a professional today. Brian McMillan from Fox thirteen is going
to be joining us at seven thirty today to tell
us what to expect. I can just tell you what
it says on my phone as of last night and
still this morning. And I don't know why phones are
all different, but this is what it says on mine.
(18:59):
I don't know what it says on the two of yours,
but there is a one hundred percent chance of rain
today and it is going to rain almost all day.
But on my phone, strangely enough, at six o'clock it
stops rain and just blows and the wind picks up. Yeah,
so it's a day of constant rain with light wind,
(19:24):
and then right around kickoff and kickoff again is at
five point fifteen, then the rain stops and the wind
starts blowing. So I you know, we'll ask you about
this certainly at eight o'clock. But I think I know
I've heard Hugh say it before. Wind is a bigger
problem than rain. So even though that might sound like
a good forecast for a football game tonight, I think
(19:47):
maybe the football players would rather have the rain than
the wind.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Probably right.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We'll talk to a professional about it coming up at
seven thirty. Of course, college football playoff we've got that
starting on Friday, Alabama at oak Lahoma and then three
games on Saturday. This is the week where the NFL
starts playing Saturday games as well, So you're gonna have
those three college football games, playoff games, and two NFL
(20:11):
games on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Sign me up.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, it's a bar day. It's a Wooden Creek kitchen day. College.
Speaking of college football, you double loss and talent. Yesterday,
Ahmed Muhammad and Raydon Vines bright To both announced that
they're entering the transfer portal. It got a lot of
Husky fans wondering what the hell is going on? And
(20:33):
of course you can't help but think that Jed Fish
may have already told players that there's a chance he
could be leaving. That's where your mind goes, Sorry, Jed,
That's where your mind goes when you start losing players
to the transfer portal. And so a little bit of
a surprise. I mean, that's a sophomore, a freshman that
we thought were going to be a big part of
the plan next year, but that is not going to happen.
(20:55):
Kurt Signetti won national Coach of the Year honors, goes
back to back. You know how strange that is. I
mean because usually that goes to somebody that just surprised you.
How could somebody surprise you to that level two years
in a row.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That he did?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But he did. Yeah, Urban Meyer has called it the
greatest coaching that has ever been done in the history
of sports. Kurtzig, that's quite a statement. Meanwhile, the stove
continues to roll along. We'll spend a little bit of
time on it today as Coutell Marte. Rumors to Seattle
are certainly out there, and the Kraken will be in
(21:30):
action tonight trying to get things right against the Calgary Flames.
They'll be in Canada to play that game. Speaking of
the UW losing talent situation, we will talk about it
a little bit. Is it going to be Fishigan after all?
That's coming up next. Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJRFM I mentioned at the beginning of the show about
tonight's Thursday night matchup between the Seahawks and Rams that
(21:53):
it's not just local buzz, the national buzz is intense.
Mike Florio, who you affectionately know as Butthole in the
afternoons with Softy and Fame, actually I think it's he
that calls them that. Yes, right, yes, but he wrote
for PFT that this he's basically saying, Rams Seahawks both
(22:15):
eleven and three. The winner controls its path not just
to the NFC West title, but to the number one
seed in the conference. That's it. It's that simple. And
it will be more simple for the Rams since they
finished with the Falcons and Cardinals. It will be tougher
for the Seahawks, who finished with the Panthers and forty
nine Ers. He also mentions, and don't forget the forty
nine ers who beat the Seahawks earlier this year, they
(22:37):
also control their own path, so even with a Seahawks
win tonight, the forty nine ers can still spoil things
down the stretch here and end up winning the division. So,
just to crystallize the point, he finishes with, it's the
biggest game of the regular season so far, with the
promise of potentially bigger games to come. So that's how
(23:00):
the nation as approaching tonight's game. Alou Siatle, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
But I think san Fran basically be cheering for the
Seahawks tonight, right because they of course, yeah, they're gonna
they're gonna want them to jump up into first so
they can sniper them in the final week of See,
there's it's crazy to have as good of a season
win loss wise as all three of these teams have had.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
I mean, san Fran, you've said it multiple times.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I mean, Kyle Shannan should be in the running for
Coach of the Year considering all the huge injuries they've had.
I mean, most of the time, you don't lose your
quarterback for a significant chunk of the season and still
be sitting at ten and four with a chance of
getting the number one overall seed.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Plus they've lost.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
I mean their biggest playmaker on defense to the biggest
playmakers on defense.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Two. They got so much.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And I didn't think they were very good to begin with,
So I'm a little tainted when it comes to like
my appreciation for Shannan this year. I think I would
vote him Coach of the Year this year, even over
our own Guys's been pretty impressive because I just don't
think they're very good. But they're ten and four something right,
and they've lost probably more significant pieces to well, I
(24:04):
know they have than anybody else in the national football
they I mean, they've even played without Brandon Ayuk all
season long, which was not the expectation. So I think
he's done a better job of coaching than anyone. But
I have a bias because I didn't think they were
all that good to begin with.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I thought they were good, but not great.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yeah, I wasn't in the thought that they were over
the hill. I still thought they were contenders, but I
didn't after they started. You lose Nick Bosa, that's a
huge one, and the linebackers Fred Warner, yeah, and then
whatever's going on without yu Ca and then they lose
their quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I was like, they're gonna fall off.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Nope, they're just kind of sitting there lurking in the
bushes right now, one game behind. They know they're going
to be tied for second at the end of tonight's
game no matter what, and yeah, Seattle wins. They're thinking
they are they going to be licking their chops, thinking
that they can come up and sniper this number one
seed when everybody had maybe written them off weeks and
weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We're going to beat them by fifty. I'm more worried
about the Rams love it. Yeah, ok right, right, that's
that's my mindset. Always just one game at a time.
So I'm not even going to even think about when
we beat the forty nine ers by fifty.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Yeah, no, okay, cool, good to know.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I can't wait to beat them fifty six to five.
That's my prediction.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I don't love that they're going to get a safety,
but I guess Nixon's going to run.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Out of the back of the end so just to
avoid injury.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right, Well, let's talk a little bit of college football.
Like I said, I mean, tonight today's show is like
ninety five ninety eight percent talking about Seahawks Rams tonight.
But there are a couple of other things I think
worth mentioning. And certainly there was a little bit of
panic at the disco last night. I'm trying to do
some writing over there at the old Barnes and Noble
last night. Thought it was a good night, the head
(25:45):
to the bookstore. You know, not many sporting events going
on last night, really, right, And I get over there
and it's just like text after text of like, what's
going on Washington? Why are we losing all of these players?
I don't know? And nobody really he does. Adam Mohammad
obviously entered the transfer portal, and that doesn't mean that
(26:06):
he won't come back. By the way, probably leaving, but
that doesn't mean that he won't like maybe I do
want to stay at Washington, but he did enter the
transfer portal. Raident Vines Bright, who of course stole a
lot of conversation at the beginning of the year, the
freshman that people thought might emerge as our second best
receiver this past season behind Boston for the Dogs. He
(26:29):
also entered the transfer portal yesterday. So did Zach Henning
offensive lineman, And of course you can't help but think
with all of the Jetfish rumors and the Michigan vacancy
and Fish's connection to Michigan. And I'm sorry, coach if
this is unfair, but it's just I mean, there's no
way not to think. Oh gosh, there's been a meeting.
(26:50):
Jedfish has told them that, you know, boys, if you
have a chance to find a better home, I might
not be here. I mean, that's kind of where your
mind went last night. And if your mind certainly where
mine went. And I can't imagine that no one was,
you know, unless you had inside information. I would imagine
(27:12):
most Husky fans were thinking the exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Well, definitely is gonna pop in your head. I mean,
is it.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Josh Pate there wrote an article or had had a
video out where he was saying yesterday, Yeah, he was
saying that it had cooled down for some reason. That them.
I think they had been talking to Jedfish. I think
there has been conversations. So the speculation or the concern
if you're a Husky fan is legit. And then the
(27:39):
fallout or the way in which your mind would go
when you hear a couple guys are into the transfer portal.
My mind immediately went to that same spot. And then
you start hearing from some people that he's hearing from
sources that the Wolverines are no longer, that that is
cooled to some degree, whatever the conversations with Jedfish are.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So that's what I heard yesterday. That's what I heard
yesterday from you people. And then last night driving last
night when I woke up from my short little nap,
I was hearing national people saying, oh, no, he's very
much a contender.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, that's what I heard too.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
I mean, there was a big swell kind of no,
he's out of the running, and he's out of the running.
But by yesterday afternoon it was like, no, I don't
know where anyone's getting this information.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
He's still very much being mentioned.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I would just say this though, about yesterday's players that
entered the transfer portal, and I think this is very
important to point out. Number one, this is gonna happen
to every program in the country every year until we
change the rules, and maybe they ever will get changed,
but everybody, I mean, it's gonna happen. Ohio State, They're
(28:42):
going to have three to five guys every year that
are going to seek greener pastures, are more playing time
or more nil money, whatever the case may be. This
is going to happen to every program every single year,
whether your coach is a nomad or not. The second
thing I think you need to mention is we're very
early in the bowl season process, and the Huskies have
(29:06):
already played Theirs. Their season is over, so other teams
are getting ready to still prepare for their final game
of the year. Otherwise we would hear more about this,
But the Huskies have already finished cleared out their locker rooms,
so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that they're
going to have a few more names at this point
(29:26):
December eighteenth, twenty twenty five that are announcing their intentions
for the future than a program that hasn't played its
final game of the year. So I think those are
two really important distinctions to make. Maybe this has nothing
to do with Jedfish. Probably does. There's probably some uncertainty
(29:48):
as to who our coach is going to be, But
I think that I think this very well could be
that this is just the natural order of things.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Now.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Yeah, well, definitely the natural order of things is playing
into it where it's just I mean, now you know
that they're without all the rules or any rules that
are in place with people leaving and whatnot, that they
can have people contacting them and saying, hey, you know,
you'd get more money if you can come over here,
you go over there, and or it.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Could be as simple as you know. He maybe Mohammad.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Thinks that they're going to be looking at Jordan Washington
as the starting running back to take takeover for Joonah Coleman.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, he looked crazy fast when he was out there.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Oh, he's crazy fast, but that's out there.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Yeah, I mean, so you end up looking up in
their bowl game against Boise State, he only had two
carries and Jordan had four.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Oh yeah, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I mean, yes, I mean, you're making a good tongue
in cheek. Yeah, but and you're making a good point.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
There's a chance.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, I mean I wrote down on my notes Jordan
Washington next, Adam Mohammad. Yeah. I think there's absolutely maybe
there was an honest conversation behind the scenes of you know,
we're gonna give Jordan every opportunity to take this job, right,
and Adam's like, Okay, I thought I played really well
against Oregon. There might be some interest in me, so
(31:10):
he enters the transfer portal. So who knows. There's gonna
be a million different reasons for why this happened yesterday,
But it's very natural considering the last three years of
a Husky fans life that their immediate speculation seeing three
guys in one day enter the transfer portal is they
must have found out news about Fish. He's leaving, isn't he?
(31:30):
But we shall see. We shall see if it turns
out to be an arbor Fishigan or not. Coming up next,
No Cliche Keys to Victory for tonight's Thursday Night Affairs
Sports Radio ninety three point three kh ARFM. It's Chuck,
Aback and Ashley with you. It is game day and
it is time for our No Cliche Keys to Victory.
Biggest game of the year so far may end up
(31:52):
being the biggest game of the year period until the
playoffs anyway, and so Seahawks hosting the Rams, we now
oh come up with our keys to victory before we
hear from any other expert today, including our twelve man
round table from eight to nine with Hugh and Craig
and so Bucky don't say when in the trenches. Please
(32:13):
don't say turnover battle nose, don't say kicking game. All
three phases. You can say kicking game. Actually, but give
me a no cliche key to victory.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
So don't say Sam don't throw four interceptions like that
would be turnover battle.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
No, I'm not going to say that anyway.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I was part of me wanted to say, win the
coin toss and make sure you are defending the south
end zone in the fourth quarter, whichever direction you choose,
just because the wind's going to be blowing, it's going
to be blowing north.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Somebody thinks this is coming down to a field.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Yeah, well, I wouldn't be surprised the way these teams play.
But that's actually not what it was to me. It's
Kyrin Williams. I would say, you got to keep him
in check. Last game, he finished with ninety one yards.
He only had twelve carries. That's seven points six yards
of carry.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Not very good.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I don't think you're gonna win if he ends up
averaging seven almost eight yards of carry.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
He didn't. They didn't run him a whole heck of
a lot.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
I know they split some with the Blake Korum kid too,
But I'd say keep him in check and don't let
him get those big runs because those big runs turned
into either touchdowns later on, or they turned into just
situations where they could then go for it on fourth
down and kind of keep keep the drive going a
little bit. So I would just say keep him in check.
(33:29):
There's a when it comes to Sean McVay, it's pretty
much impossible to shut down everything that he's going to do.
They're gonna score some points, but I would say don't
let him get loose on you don't let him break
a few big runs.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Actually, what your no cliche key to victory?
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Well, I don't think this can be a cliche because
I don't think anyone's ever said this. But do everything
you did in the last game exactly the same, except
for throwing four interceptions.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Throw too Sure, that's okay, you'd still win four. Nope,
you're gonna lose again. That's it.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'll love for Mia McDonald's. I'll just call the same
plays in the exact same order.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
Well yeah, right, But this is the thing is that
obviously Sam made some poor decisions. He was facing a
lot of pressure, so there were some situations that probably
could have been avoided. There were some that probably couldn't
have been avoided, but everything you did defensively was fantastic.
So if you can replicate your same game plan in
theory and just take away the sloppiness I think you have,
(34:26):
I think you win that game nine times out of ten.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
It was reported. I think it was under reported how
statistically dominant the Seahawks were versus the Rams. The first
time they played statistically dominant, I doubled them up in
almost every prominent category. So yeah, yeah, I think there's
a lot of truth to that. If you can play
as well as you did the last game and not
(34:49):
turn over the ball, that's all we're asking four to one,
then yes, I do believe you win the game because
and I think you probably win it handily. But I
love Greg point about this game about the Sean McVeigh
because you know he's going to make adjustments to what
McDonald did to him the last time they faced. But
that's the beauty about McDonald. You know that McDonald's is
(35:11):
going to make adjustments to the adjustments he anticipates McVay making.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, it's like Princess Brice, just what you switch the Glenhath.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Sean, you didn't say you switch the Glennath.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
But just switch the glen That is exactly going to
be the their duel tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Uh Mi, no cliche key to victory, And I've been
pretty vocal about this all week long. Don't lose the
biggest game of the year trying to prove to everybody
what you do worst, you can do better, right. In
other words, I do want you to come out and
try to establish the run. If we established the run
(35:50):
early on in this contest, I think that you win. Man,
if you had that element that the Rams have to
worry about. If ken Walker finally does go off, we're
gonna win the football game. But I don't want to
spend two and a half quarters trying to figure it
out like we have been doing, because if you fall
behind double figures two scores like he did against the
(36:10):
Indianapolis Colts, against this team, against this quarterback, you're not
coming back from it, Okay, So to me, I want
if it's not working the run game earlier. I want
to see Clint Kubiak bail on it. Yes early, And
if you're gonna go down, go down doing what you
do best, which is Sam Darnold throwing the JSN.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Let's see it.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
So that's that's my no cliche key to victory. I
we'll talk more about all of these things throughout the
remaining time, our three hours remaining this morning here on
game Day, we got headlines next and more. Sports Radio
ninety three point three KJRFM
Good morning folks, Good morning everyone, Good morning, it's some time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good morning class.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Ladies and gentlemen, behold introducing six one guard from Brighton,
Illinois and former high school basketball stand What in the
hell does that mean?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Jumped any conclusions?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Not a god, You've got to lower lower your expectations.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Hard to believe he could once send a fastball to
Pluto getting Bucky jacobs and vibes and former.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
I'll just openly admit I'm a fat, out of shaped
X athlete.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Now there's been a noticeable spike in your blood pressure.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Five seven guard and a former college water polo and
national champion.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There's a lot of useless crap up here.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Wow, this is Chuck and Buck in the Morning with
Ashley Ryan. But to you buy to Lateo Casino Resort
and quil Sea Creek draft KINI sports book where the
action never stopped.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's made my first paperwad shot of the day. Left handed, Hi,
Hi Archer, nothing but plastic, I guess, nothing but ben.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, gotta make you feel pretty good. It's not about me, Ashley,
It's about the collective. Makes me feel pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's a sign that we're winning the night.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, game that's second game Day. Good morning, and
welcome into the radio program. It is Chucking Buck in
the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three k j
R f M. Great to have you on this Thursday.
But NAJA has any run of the mill Thursday. Oh no,
that's child's play. Ah, this is game day, and a
(01:54):
game day right here on Chuck and Buck in the
Mornings is special enough. But when it is the game
of the year to this point in the season, my goodness,
clear all the necks. I hope that your mind is
uncluttered today, Bucky, because we're going hard on sea Hawks
versus Rams. It's up to us. It's up to us
(02:14):
to set the tone for how.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
This game's gonna go down today. Well, I'm gonna leave
that up to you and Ashley set in tone. I
will be as uncluttered as possible. Uh, that's not saying
a lot.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You look pretty cluttered over.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
There, That's what I mean. I said it's uncluttered as possible.
There's gonna be some clutter. I don't mean to clutter
your guys's things. Oh jeez, but I'm gonna. I'll try
to stay out of the way.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
We're trying to get from here to there, right and
you know what, there is no a win. Yeah, and
you better not stand in the way with all of
your clutter.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I'll try not to wait.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
To the side.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Sweep it to the side.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Not very good sweepers in here was the bad sweeper.
Now two of you not get sleeping? What are we
going to do with ourselves?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Why am I good? It's sweeping? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
But at least you know. It's a weakening, it really is.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That makes an odd thing to be bad, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Because it's not hard.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But at least I'm self aware, at least I know
what my week are.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
That makes it strength.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, but I don't know for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I agree, Oh no.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
That doesn't make it a strength because if it's like
I'm not good at it, so I'm not going to
do it there, then you don't get the work in.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I just leven places where I don't have to do it.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, oh that's smart. Yeah, like it's they sweep themselves.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Like you vacuum. You just have a carpet.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm a good vacuumer. Yeah, yeah, you're vacuum, vacuum my
butt off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And plus I don't need
to sweep in my house because I live with a germophobe,
so she sweeps thirty three thousand times a day, so
there's no reason for it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well, that's why you don't have to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, this goes all the way back to my childhood.
I would just look at my mom and say, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Just shooting it across the kitchen one side to the other.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She was like, how is it dirtier now than it
was before you started. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You sound like my son I would have comes sweeping
just how he answers, I am trying.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Good morning, it's great to have you with us here
on this Thursday. It is a game day and we
will devote most of our show today, not all of it,
but most of our show today to previewing this Thursday
night matchup. And it's not just the biggest game of
the year for the Seahawks. This is the biggest Thursday
night game of the year. This is the best way
that the National Football League has come up with for
(04:40):
starting a week of their season. I mean, the nation
has switched on to this game. The nation can't the
best in the nation, they can't wait for kickoff tonight
at five point fifteen, and obviously here in Seattle, considering
the significance of the game, what it could mean for
visional race for seeding in the playoff. I mean, we
(05:04):
lock up a spot in the playoffs tonight. So it's
it's certainly magical for the two participants, but it doesn't
stop there. Certainly, this is the biggest game of the
year for Thursday night football and the best way they've
come up with yet for starting a week of football action.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well, yeah, I'm gonna get that at that point in
the year. I heard somewhere yesterday that this is the
first time ever to eleven and three teams have played
on a Thursday night, so it might be the best
Thursday night football game of all time.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'll go with you.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's not ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I haven't done the research, but yes.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, I heard it somewhere.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I heard it somewhere, and I'm sure that everything you
hear or read is true.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Actually, if it's on TikTok, Twitter or Instagram.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, three, that cannot be questioned.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
It's just if it's on the interweb, yeah, or webs
then it's factual. And so I'm going to go with
it as well, best Thursday night football game of all time.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But those sources are as impeachable as my sweep.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
One hundred percent. Yep, it's actually very similar to that.
And yet, I mean this point in the season, every
game does seem I mean, if you're in it near
in some sort of race for a division or buys
or you know, on the bubble making it or not,
it's bigger. But once, I mean, the ad isn't anything
that can be bigger than a division foe you're tied with.
(06:23):
I mean, the difference between winning this game and losing
this game is huge. Now, It's not It's not you
win and you're out, like can happen sometimes on you know,
a week eighteen or you know, the final game of
the season. It's not that I think that whoever loses
this game is still going to find a way into
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
But you're talking about probably a first.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Round by is on the line, traveling all the travel
that goes into playing on the road and having that
extra game, all the different stuff that goes into it.
Not to mention just the continued either success or lack
thereof against a division foe that you're trying to knock
off and kind of become the king of the hill.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
You're saying it juice. I think it's got juice.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I think that, you know, in my I have a
hard time at times saying this is a big game.
You know, typically that's in baseball in like April, But
this is a big game.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, this is a big.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Game in the NFL season, as big of a game
as I can remember in the Seahawks season in quite
some time.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, I think maybe we're a little prisoner of the moment.
I mean, when I first moved here, you're I mean
you were coming off Alm Butler, That's when I first
moved here and under your breath. Yeah, And certainly that
was still a great football team. Seahawks still had a
great football team, back to back Super Bowl appearances, and
(07:40):
the forty nine ers were riding high at that point.
So I know, I know that there were regular season
games that rivaled this one. But because I can't right
now call it just out of your memory, this does
feel like the biggest regular season game. It's certainly the
biggest we've had and seven eight years. Yes, maybe it's
(08:01):
not the biggest we've had in ten years because you're
getting back to legion the boom days. Maybe there was
a forty nine er matchup post super Bowl appearances, or
a Rams matchup that was slightly more anticipated, better on
paper than this one, but I don't remember it. This
to me is the is the one. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I can't think of anything that stands out, And I
can't think of anything that stands out since the Butler game,
like since that year, because obviously that was the year
that those were the two years where we were super
Bowl bound and you know, everything was the dynasty was, yeah,
was bigger, and so since then, I would say, as
(08:42):
and you're right, it could be prisoner of the moment.
It could be that we're just thinking of these you know,
but with this team and the way that they've been
playing and the way that the expectations we now have
and what's on the line, and I mean who you're
playing against, and what the last game was, I mean
all of those things all together.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I mean, this is big.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Stage to yourself. Yeah, primetime football.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Sure, uniforms, Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Gross, I did not thank you?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What that's how those are great? Looking union.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Didn't think about that until this very moment I thought
about it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
They've been promoting it the heck out of it.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It look great.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
You guys are going to change your tune once you
see him out there. So nice, little aerodescent greeny blue.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
They look so much like Oregon's uniforms. I think there
might be a point where I'm like, come on, boo,
complete a pass. Wait a minute, it's Sam.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah you'll.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I just like that.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
The Seahawks really have gotten involved in trying the extra things.
The Hawks have been doing, clearly to just get in
the rams head. You know, the flight from LA yesterday
was delayed. There was quote unquote mechanical issues. They had
to get a new plane. Sean McVay is coming off
the flue. He had to take a separate flight.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Mmm.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Way to work your You know, his wife having a
baby this past week, so he's probably sleep deprived. I mean,
this is all Mike McDonald and the Seahawks working their magic.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I love it when McDonald induces a pregnancy smart coach. Wait,
his head's always in the game, it is.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, I should have maybe save that for the playoffs.
So don't you guys.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Think, Yeah, I know what, you get to the playoffs
first buy.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, and we want that one seed really badly, so
I would I would mess it. Yeah, if you know
he's aad coach, I don't blame him for messing with
a pregnant woman's health. Right Yeah, well, yeah, there's a
lot going on. Let me update you on the latest
actual information. Charles Cross. Maybe he's tapping out because he
(10:48):
doesn't want to wear that uniform, but he is out.
He is not going to play. I really when the
when Sunday's game ended, I wasn't thinking that we were
going to be without Charles Cross on the But we're
without Charles Cross on Thursday, and Josh Jones will get
the start, certainly, somebody that's played very little. I do
(11:09):
remember saying some positive things about him way back in
preseason games, how good he looked, but hasn't played much
this year, and of course those were preseason games. Profile
is that he's more of a pass blocker than a
run blocker, which I'm a okay with. But that's going
to be a replacement at left tackle, and certainly it's
going to be something that we'll discuss throughout the show today.
(11:32):
DeVante Adams is doubtful. I think the read on most
people out there on the inside is that Sean mcvays
knows he's not going to play, but just doesn't want
to announce it prematurely. Why make Mike McDonald prepare for
having to face a future Hall of Famer in DeVante
(11:53):
Adams and so it doesn't look so it looks like
it's a one for one, looks like they won't have Adams,
looks like we won't have Cross. But what a weird
week leading up to this game for one, Puka Nakua,
I mean, this has been one strange week.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Another thing Mike McDonald has done clearly.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I mean
it's not like he's done anything terrible, but he just
keeps getting involved in all of these strange storylines, like
on a podcast, nothing wrong, nothing wrong. I mean, I'm
not going to judge anybody that never wants to get married,
that's for sure. But nonetheless he made headlines with it.
What a weird thing to make headlines with that. He
(12:34):
was on a podcast and said that he got burned
in a relationship and it made him never want to
get married again. So that made that made not really
headlines headlines, but social media headlines, which there's a difference.
He's brother like stole the car, and I think it
was a friend of his. Yeah, it was a Lakers player,
(12:54):
so I think it was a prank. I don't think
that Samson was stealing somebody's car. My guess is they
were out, probably hanging out together, and he thought it
would be funny to take his keys that got exposed
and think that make the guy think like he lost
his car. I don't know. I don't know the details.
But nonetheless, another story that he got involved in, uh
(13:16):
this week, and then the one that actually is of
significance football wise, uh yesterday he said he made the
headline that he believes and I don't know why anyone
would ever say this. It's just reckless that some officials
blow calls on purpose so that they can make so
(13:37):
they can be on television and call their buddies and
laugh about how they blew that. Did you see me
blow that call? You know? He he said that, and
the two hosts, if you want to even call them that,
they were like four years old. Each of them were
no be kidding, and he was tongue in cheeking it,
(13:59):
but there obviously was some substance to it. So pukin
Theaku is going to play his first game tonight after
the officials have heard the news that he thinks that
they rig calls on purpose just so they can get
attention on television.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, not the brightest move that could work out his
advantage Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What a weird forty eight hours for a great player
who I don't ever remember like raising his hand and
doing anything.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No, I'm pretty sure most of what I've heard is
that he's a good dude. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
He did also say that he was gonna do or
he did learn some apparently anti Semitic dance and said
he was going to score a touchdown and do that.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I watched the dance. I don't even know what about it.
I don't even know what about it as anti Semitic.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I don't But that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Mean like rubbing his hands like this.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
It's whatever they said though, is apparently something against Jewish people.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I didn't even hear that. Ye add that to the list.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Yeah, I mean I honestly when I started hearing it,
like the first thing I saw was he went on
with that streamer guy. When I was podcast, and the
first thing was like Jacks Smooth and jigbit home studying
his playbook, Puka Nakua out filming a podcast with the
streamer guy, and I'm like, Okay, that just seems silly.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Like that's much ado about nothing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I think the thing with the referees, I don't think
there's very many athletes that actually like the officials of
their sport, right, There's very few because they're typically you're
going to get screwed over by them or feel that
you got screwed over by them many many times over
the course of your career. So him thinking it no
big deal, saying it and then letting it be published
(15:33):
out there for the is just dumb, right. I mean,
it's I can say now because no umpire's going to
screw me over on a close pitch.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
That was a mall.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
But I would never have said it when I was playing,
because they are human and they do have egos and
they will be like, okay, hmmm, watch this offensive pass
interference that I don't blow or maybe I do on
you tonight. I wouldn't Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, I don't know. I don't know if they go.
I think if we had gene on he would say
we would never do that, but he would he would
be bothered by the insinuation, certainly by a player, but
just odd. I don't again, I don't think that he'd
said anything horrible. I think he was trying to be funny,
and he may not just be funny. And yeah, you're right,
(16:20):
you were on a podcast with a couple of goofballs
making silly statements that made social media headlines. And you
know what, you're right, Jackson Smith and Jigba is probably
laser focused on playing playing the biggest game of the year.
So I mean, we're going to get a very good
version of Pooka Nakula tonight. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
(16:40):
It's not going to impact the outcome of the game
unless some official really does take it that personally. But
it's just odd that this week, of all weeks, Poka
Nakula is involved in like four or five different weird
stories when I've never heard him involved with one ever before,
and he was here playing college football for a year.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
It usually seems like he's just yeah, like the you know,
head down focused, I'm here to play.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Everyone says good guy.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
I don't think anything necessarily that he's done makes him
a bad guy. I think that he has used maybe
some poor judgment this week, and especially timing wise, you
shouldn't be taking the focus away from your team and
what you're at. I mean, this is a big game
for them too, so I think, and especially you might
not have Davante Adams, so you are the primary target there.
I mean, it's just I think I heard we read
(17:30):
at one point too that he wanted to bring these
streamers or podcasters to the RAMS facility, and Sean McVay
shut that that down and was like, no, we're not
having that here, not this week.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, I don't know, very very strange. Wouldn't surprise me
if he gets back on campus and go streaking. He
just seems to be in that kind of weird He
seems to be in a Frank the tank kind of
mood right now. Maybe he's having a midlife crisis at age,
twittering that, Yeah, I don't know, very strange, but what
(18:00):
a weird week for the Nkouas. But that guy's a
monster man, and he is going to be a problem tonight.
There's no doubt about it, all right, let's find out
what's on tap for today's game day radio show.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
What's on TEP.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
What's on TEP?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
As I said, and as you probably figured, a huge preview,
practically a four hour preview of tonight's game between the
Rams and the Hawks. Our twelve man round table will
assemble from eight to nine today, a game day round
table with Hugh Millon and Greg Bell. So of course
you're going to be listening for that. The weather, by
the way, probably should be updated and we will get
(18:39):
a full report. We're going to actually reach out to
a professional today. Brian McMillan from Fox thirteen is going
to be joining us at seven thirty today to tell
us what to expect. I can just tell you what
it says on my phone as of last night and
still this morning. And I don't know why phones are
all different, but this is what it says on mine.
(18:59):
I don't know what it says on the two of yours,
but there is a one hundred percent chance of rain
today and it is going to rain almost all day.
But on my phone, strangely enough, at six o'clock it
stops rain and just blows and the wind picks up. Yeah,
so it's a day of constant rain with light wind,
(19:24):
and then right around kickoff and kickoff again is at
five point fifteen, then the rain stops and the wind
starts blowing. So I you know, we'll ask you about
this certainly at eight o'clock. But I think I know
I've heard Hugh say it before. Wind is a bigger
problem than rain. So even though that might sound like
a good forecast for a football game tonight, I think
(19:47):
maybe the football players would rather have the rain than
the wind.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Probably right.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We'll talk to a professional about it coming up at
seven thirty. Of course, college football playoff we've got that
starting on Friday, Alabama at oak Lahoma and then three
games on Saturday. This is the week where the NFL
starts playing Saturday games as well, So you're gonna have
those three college football games, playoff games, and two NFL
(20:11):
games on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Sign me up.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, it's a bar day. It's a Wooden Creek kitchen day. College.
Speaking of college football, you double loss and talent. Yesterday,
Ahmed Muhammad and Raydon Vines bright To both announced that
they're entering the transfer portal. It got a lot of
Husky fans wondering what the hell is going on? And
(20:33):
of course you can't help but think that Jed Fish
may have already told players that there's a chance he
could be leaving. That's where your mind goes, Sorry, Jed,
That's where your mind goes when you start losing players
to the transfer portal. And so a little bit of
a surprise. I mean, that's a sophomore, a freshman that
we thought were going to be a big part of
the plan next year, but that is not going to happen.
(20:55):
Kurt Signetti won national Coach of the Year honors, goes
back to back. You know how strange that is. I
mean because usually that goes to somebody that just surprised you.
How could somebody surprise you to that level two years
in a row.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That he did?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
But he did. Yeah, Urban Meyer has called it the
greatest coaching that has ever been done in the history
of sports. Kurtzig, that's quite a statement. Meanwhile, the stove
continues to roll along. We'll spend a little bit of
time on it today as Coutell Marte. Rumors to Seattle
are certainly out there, and the Kraken will be in
(21:30):
action tonight trying to get things right against the Calgary Flames.
They'll be in Canada to play that game. Speaking of
the UW losing talent situation, we will talk about it
a little bit. Is it going to be Fishigan after all?
That's coming up next. Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJRFM I mentioned at the beginning of the show about
tonight's Thursday night matchup between the Seahawks and Rams that
(21:53):
it's not just local buzz, the national buzz is intense.
Mike Florio, who you affectionately know as Butthole in the
afternoons with Softy and Fame, actually I think it's he
that calls them that. Yes, right, yes, but he wrote
for PFT that this he's basically saying, Rams Seahawks both
(22:15):
eleven and three. The winner controls its path not just
to the NFC West title, but to the number one
seed in the conference. That's it. It's that simple. And
it will be more simple for the Rams since they
finished with the Falcons and Cardinals. It will be tougher
for the Seahawks, who finished with the Panthers and forty
nine Ers. He also mentions, and don't forget the forty
nine ers who beat the Seahawks earlier this year, they
(22:37):
also control their own path, so even with a Seahawks
win tonight, the forty nine ers can still spoil things
down the stretch here and end up winning the division. So,
just to crystallize the point, he finishes with, it's the
biggest game of the regular season so far, with the
promise of potentially bigger games to come. So that's how
(23:00):
the nation as approaching tonight's game. Alou Siatle, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
But I think san Fran basically be cheering for the
Seahawks tonight, right because they of course, yeah, they're gonna
they're gonna want them to jump up into first so
they can sniper them in the final week of See,
there's it's crazy to have as good of a season
win loss wise as all three of these teams have had.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
I mean, san Fran, you've said it multiple times.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I mean, Kyle Shannan should be in the running for
Coach of the Year considering all the huge injuries they've had.
I mean, most of the time, you don't lose your
quarterback for a significant chunk of the season and still
be sitting at ten and four with a chance of
getting the number one overall seed.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Plus they've lost.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
I mean their biggest playmaker on defense to the biggest
playmakers on defense.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Two. They got so much.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And I didn't think they were very good to begin with,
So I'm a little tainted when it comes to like
my appreciation for Shannan this year. I think I would
vote him Coach of the Year this year, even over
our own Guys's been pretty impressive because I just don't
think they're very good. But they're ten and four something right,
and they've lost probably more significant pieces to well, I
(24:04):
know they have than anybody else in the national football
they I mean, they've even played without Brandon Ayuk all
season long, which was not the expectation. So I think
he's done a better job of coaching than anyone. But
I have a bias because I didn't think they were
all that good to begin with.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I thought they were good, but not great.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yeah, I wasn't in the thought that they were over
the hill. I still thought they were contenders, but I
didn't after they started. You lose Nick Bosa, that's a
huge one, and the linebackers Fred Warner, yeah, and then
whatever's going on without yu Ca and then they lose
their quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I was like, they're gonna fall off.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Nope, they're just kind of sitting there lurking in the
bushes right now, one game behind. They know they're going
to be tied for second at the end of tonight's
game no matter what, and yeah, Seattle wins. They're thinking
they are they going to be licking their chops, thinking
that they can come up and sniper this number one
seed when everybody had maybe written them off weeks and
weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We're going to beat them by fifty. I'm more worried
about the Rams love it. Yeah, ok right, right, that's
that's my mindset. Always just one game at a time.
So I'm not even going to even think about when
we beat the forty nine ers by fifty.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Yeah, no, okay, cool, good to know.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I can't wait to beat them fifty six to five.
That's my prediction.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I don't love that they're going to get a safety,
but I guess Nixon's going to run.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Out of the back of the end so just to
avoid injury.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right, Well, let's talk a little bit of college football.
Like I said, I mean, tonight today's show is like
ninety five ninety eight percent talking about Seahawks Rams tonight.
But there are a couple of other things I think
worth mentioning. And certainly there was a little bit of
panic at the disco last night. I'm trying to do
some writing over there at the old Barnes and Noble
last night. Thought it was a good night, the head
(25:45):
to the bookstore. You know, not many sporting events going
on last night, really, right, And I get over there
and it's just like text after text of like, what's
going on Washington? Why are we losing all of these players?
I don't know? And nobody really he does. Adam Mohammad
obviously entered the transfer portal, and that doesn't mean that
(26:06):
he won't come back. By the way, probably leaving, but
that doesn't mean that he won't like maybe I do
want to stay at Washington, but he did enter the
transfer portal. Raident Vines Bright, who of course stole a
lot of conversation at the beginning of the year, the
freshman that people thought might emerge as our second best
receiver this past season behind Boston for the Dogs. He
(26:29):
also entered the transfer portal yesterday. So did Zach Henning
offensive lineman, And of course you can't help but think
with all of the Jetfish rumors and the Michigan vacancy
and Fish's connection to Michigan. And I'm sorry, coach if
this is unfair, but it's just I mean, there's no
way not to think. Oh gosh, there's been a meeting.
(26:50):
Jedfish has told them that, you know, boys, if you
have a chance to find a better home, I might
not be here. I mean, that's kind of where your
mind went last night. And if your mind certainly where
mine went. And I can't imagine that no one was,
you know, unless you had inside information. I would imagine
(27:12):
most Husky fans were thinking the exact same thing.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Well, definitely is gonna pop in your head. I mean,
is it.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Josh Pate there wrote an article or had had a
video out where he was saying yesterday, Yeah, he was
saying that it had cooled down for some reason. That them.
I think they had been talking to Jedfish. I think
there has been conversations. So the speculation or the concern
if you're a Husky fan is legit. And then the
(27:39):
fallout or the way in which your mind would go
when you hear a couple guys are into the transfer portal.
My mind immediately went to that same spot. And then
you start hearing from some people that he's hearing from
sources that the Wolverines are no longer, that that is
cooled to some degree, whatever the conversations with Jedfish are.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So that's what I heard yesterday. That's what I heard
yesterday from you people. And then last night driving last
night when I woke up from my short little nap,
I was hearing national people saying, oh, no, he's very
much a contender.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, that's what I heard too.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
I mean, there was a big swell kind of no,
he's out of the running, and he's out of the running.
But by yesterday afternoon it was like, no, I don't
know where anyone's getting this information.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
He's still very much being mentioned.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I would just say this though, about yesterday's players that
entered the transfer portal, and I think this is very
important to point out. Number one, this is gonna happen
to every program in the country every year until we
change the rules, and maybe they ever will get changed,
but everybody, I mean, it's gonna happen. Ohio State, They're
(28:42):
going to have three to five guys every year that
are going to seek greener pastures, are more playing time
or more nil money, whatever the case may be. This
is going to happen to every program every single year,
whether your coach is a nomad or not. The second
thing I think you need to mention is we're very
early in the bowl season process, and the Huskies have
(29:06):
already played Theirs. Their season is over, so other teams
are getting ready to still prepare for their final game
of the year. Otherwise we would hear more about this,
But the Huskies have already finished cleared out their locker rooms,
so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that they're
going to have a few more names at this point
(29:26):
December eighteenth, twenty twenty five that are announcing their intentions
for the future than a program that hasn't played its
final game of the year. So I think those are
two really important distinctions to make. Maybe this has nothing
to do with Jedfish. Probably does. There's probably some uncertainty
(29:48):
as to who our coach is going to be, But
I think that I think this very well could be
that this is just the natural order of things.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Now.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Yeah, well, definitely the natural order of things is playing
into it where it's just I mean, now you know
that they're without all the rules or any rules that
are in place with people leaving and whatnot, that they
can have people contacting them and saying, hey, you know,
you'd get more money if you can come over here,
you go over there, and or it.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Could be as simple as you know. He maybe Mohammad.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Thinks that they're going to be looking at Jordan Washington
as the starting running back to take takeover for Joonah Coleman.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, he looked crazy fast when he was out there.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Oh, he's crazy fast, but that's out there.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Yeah, I mean, so you end up looking up in
their bowl game against Boise State, he only had two
carries and Jordan had four.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Oh yeah, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I mean, yes, I mean, you're making a good tongue
in cheek. Yeah, but and you're making a good point.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
There's a chance.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, I mean I wrote down on my notes Jordan
Washington next, Adam Mohammad. Yeah. I think there's absolutely maybe
there was an honest conversation behind the scenes of you know,
we're gonna give Jordan every opportunity to take this job, right,
and Adam's like, Okay, I thought I played really well
against Oregon. There might be some interest in me, so
(31:10):
he enters the transfer portal. So who knows. There's gonna
be a million different reasons for why this happened yesterday,
But it's very natural considering the last three years of
a Husky fans life that their immediate speculation seeing three
guys in one day enter the transfer portal is they
must have found out news about Fish. He's leaving, isn't he?
(31:30):
But we shall see. We shall see if it turns
out to be an arbor Fishigan or not. Coming up next,
No Cliche Keys to Victory for tonight's Thursday Night Affairs
Sports Radio ninety three point three kh ARFM. It's Chuck,
Aback and Ashley with you. It is game day and
it is time for our No Cliche Keys to Victory.
Biggest game of the year so far may end up
(31:52):
being the biggest game of the year period until the
playoffs anyway, and so Seahawks hosting the Rams, we now
oh come up with our keys to victory before we
hear from any other expert today, including our twelve man
round table from eight to nine with Hugh and Craig
and so Bucky don't say when in the trenches. Please
(32:13):
don't say turnover battle nose, don't say kicking game. All
three phases. You can say kicking game. Actually, but give
me a no cliche key to victory.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
So don't say Sam don't throw four interceptions like that
would be turnover battle.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
No, I'm not going to say that anyway.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I was part of me wanted to say, win the
coin toss and make sure you are defending the south
end zone in the fourth quarter, whichever direction you choose,
just because the wind's going to be blowing, it's going
to be blowing north.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Somebody thinks this is coming down to a field.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
Yeah, well, I wouldn't be surprised the way these teams play.
But that's actually not what it was to me. It's
Kyrin Williams. I would say, you got to keep him
in check. Last game, he finished with ninety one yards.
He only had twelve carries. That's seven points six yards
of carry.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Not very good.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I don't think you're gonna win if he ends up
averaging seven almost eight yards of carry.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
He didn't. They didn't run him a whole heck of
a lot.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
I know they split some with the Blake Korum kid too,
But I'd say keep him in check and don't let
him get those big runs because those big runs turned
into either touchdowns later on, or they turned into just
situations where they could then go for it on fourth
down and kind of keep keep the drive going a
little bit. So I would just say keep him in check.
(33:29):
There's a when it comes to Sean McVay, it's pretty
much impossible to shut down everything that he's going to do.
They're gonna score some points, but I would say don't
let him get loose on you don't let him break
a few big runs.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Actually, what your no cliche key to victory?
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Well, I don't think this can be a cliche because
I don't think anyone's ever said this. But do everything
you did in the last game exactly the same, except
for throwing four interceptions.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Throw too Sure, that's okay, you'd still win four. Nope,
you're gonna lose again. That's it.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'll love for Mia McDonald's. I'll just call the same
plays in the exact same order.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
Well yeah, right, But this is the thing is that
obviously Sam made some poor decisions. He was facing a
lot of pressure, so there were some situations that probably
could have been avoided. There were some that probably couldn't
have been avoided, but everything you did defensively was fantastic.
So if you can replicate your same game plan in
theory and just take away the sloppiness I think you have,
(34:26):
I think you win that game nine times out of ten.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
It was reported. I think it was under reported how
statistically dominant the Seahawks were versus the Rams. The first
time they played statistically dominant, I doubled them up in
almost every prominent category. So yeah, yeah, I think there's
a lot of truth to that. If you can play
as well as you did the last game and not
(34:49):
turn over the ball, that's all we're asking four to one,
then yes, I do believe you win the game because
and I think you probably win it handily. But I
love Greg point about this game about the Sean McVeigh
because you know he's going to make adjustments to what
McDonald did to him the last time they faced. But
that's the beauty about McDonald. You know that McDonald's is
(35:11):
going to make adjustments to the adjustments he anticipates McVay making.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, it's like Princess Brice, just what you switch the Glenhath.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Sean, you didn't say you switch the Glennath.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
But just switch the glen That is exactly going to
be the their duel tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Uh Mi, no cliche key to victory, And I've been
pretty vocal about this all week long. Don't lose the
biggest game of the year trying to prove to everybody
what you do worst, you can do better, right. In
other words, I do want you to come out and
try to establish the run. If we established the run
(35:50):
early on in this contest, I think that you win. Man,
if you had that element that the Rams have to
worry about. If ken Walker finally does go off, we're
gonna win the football game. But I don't want to
spend two and a half quarters trying to figure it
out like we have been doing, because if you fall
behind double figures two scores like he did against the
(36:10):
Indianapolis Colts, against this team, against this quarterback, you're not
coming back from it, Okay, So to me, I want
if it's not working the run game earlier. I want
to see Clint Kubiak bail on it. Yes early, And
if you're gonna go down, go down doing what you
do best, which is Sam Darnold throwing the JSN.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Let's see it.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
So that's that's my no cliche key to victory. I
we'll talk more about all of these things throughout the
remaining time, our three hours remaining this morning here on
game Day, we got headlines next and more. Sports Radio
