Speaker 1 (00:00):
Were we go Bears of fired Shane Walder And how
about that?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
A nobody?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Are you kidding me? I mean, what in the absolute hell?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Man?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
The guy just is not it?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
He ain't it?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And how many times do we sit here on the
radio show thinking, God, if you're a Bears fan. And
maybe the poor bastards didn't even know, right of course
they had no idea. But if you're a Bears fan
and you watched any of the Seahawks the last couple
of years, if you heard anything on this radio station
or read anything from any other medium member, Look, I mean,
I feel like this is the second time that we've
(00:33):
done this to a fan base in the last couple
of years. First time was with Russell when all of
us told Denver It's like, dude, I'm just warning you.
There's like the guy's got a problem, right, So something
going on. And then we told Chicago about all this
stuff and they didn't want to hear it, and the
guy didn't even make Thanksgiving. First time in fifty four
years that the Bears have fired a coordinator during the
(00:54):
middle of the season. You know how bad you have
to be for a franchise to do something for the
first time in fifty four years. And I honestly I
feel bad for the guy. I really do, because he's
actually a nice guy. He's not a jerk, he's not
an a hole, he's not a prick. He's a nice guy.
But he's got less personality than this freaking desk over here.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, the you need personality to be an offensive course,
I think you do.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think you have to command a room. I think
you have to convince people that you know what the
hell you're doing. Yes, I think you have to absolutely
be able to lead men and convince players that you
have the answers, especially when you're dealing with pre We're
not a quarterbacks like Caleb Williams.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
The fact that Shane Waldron could not just let's just
look at the last three weeks. That quarterback that you
and I watched play against Washington in person last year,
where we both left that stadium a excited that we won,
but be going, my god, that dude's a freak show.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He is.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The past three weeks ten of twenty four one thirty
one no touchdowns, twenty two of forty one, two seventeen
no touchdowns, sixteen of thirty one to twenty no touchdowns.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
How cat like a.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Sixth grader should be able to walk in and hey,
hey Caleb, just like run around and throw deep. Should
be able to put more numbers on the board than
Shane Waldron did with that guy.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
When you have an offensive coordinator who looks like he's
nine years old and he's walking up to Kleb going, hey, Cay,
you think we should throw the Bobby on the ball,
He's staring at the ground the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
He's freezing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh my god, he's just the guy just does not
exude any of that. And I want, really, in the end,
what I want out of my offensive coordinator. I mean
the obvious one of score points, right, But number two,
there's something that I think every offensive coordinator should possess,
and every fan base should want the same thing from
their offensive coordinator and their defensive coordinator. To be able
to look at a guy and say that is a
future head coach right there? Yes, And if they're not
(02:44):
exuding that, and they're not emanating that, then you probably
have the wrong guy, right, Because I look at Ryan
Grobb honestly, and I see a future head coach his personality,
way he carries himself. He is a future head coach
in the National Football League. Now he's got to get
things going here offensively, stand that, But Shane Waldron is
not a future head coach. I could never imagine a
football team hiring Shane Waldron and putting them on the
(03:07):
podium and say, are introducing the seventeen head coach of
the Jacksonville Jaguars, Shane Waldron.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And he goes up there. I mean, it's just not well,
you can.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Tell, you can usually tell right away. And look, I
know it's a hard thing. People are born with the
personalities that they're born with. Okay, I get it. I
was born a Spas, I'm a spaz, all right, that's fine.
But Shane Waldron, when you look at Shane Waldron, do
you see future head coach?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
He reminded me a lot of Bush had said the
same thing exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, Like you'd.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Interview him and he would never look you in the eye.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He would, yes, And that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And you know what, Jackson, I wonder if that's lost
on kids today, Like is that a fifty one year
old thing that Dick and I are talking about. Like
I would come to you and say Hey, when you
shake somebody's hand, you shake it fairly. When you talk
to somebody, you look him in the eye and you
address them in the eye.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Gonna pick that up heart a little bit because the
handshake thing, like, I think that still exists. But the
looking in the eye thing, I think that doesn't exist
because very much, my general we're on their phones a lot.
Like if I'm talking to you and I'm not looking
at your eye and I'm looking at my phone, that's
just because that's how I've like a lot of conversations.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You're Caleb Williams and I'm Shane Waldrip and you're asking me, Shane,
can you explain this play? And I'm looking at my
phone that well, that my phone says that you need
to go to the right side, not that I mean,
come on.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Well, if he's different, if you're a coach, right, if
he's looking at like a tablet and like referring back
to what he saw, okay, fine, But like you know,
if it's a one on one conversation, there's no devices
in hand and you're just going then yes, look the
dude in his eyes. So that there is there's parts
of it where it makes sense there's parts of it where.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I get it. Waldron's a young guy. Waldron's like my age, and.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Maybe maybe this will change him. I got no idea.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
So part of it makes sense of why he behaves
like a young guy in that sense because he's a
young one.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I think it's even worrified by the way he's
he really, I swear to God, I thought he was
Rejection's age.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, he's got a millennium vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What I said about changing, that's not gonna happen. He
is what he is, just forty five years.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, in the next generation, the generation of teens right
now that who were in like fifth, sixth, seventh grade
during the COVID and have their phones all the time, there,
you're gonna see even But let me know, I have
a lot of experience with that age group, and you're
gonna see even less eye contact in the future than.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You do right now. There's three things that have gone
the way. At the Dodo bird, which is another thing
that fifty year olds say, by the way, he's like,
what the hell is a Dodo bird? Three things looking
people the eye, a firm handshake, and a courtesy wave
pisses me off.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
A cursy gone driving done that, it's gone.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Although I see, I see, I see less courtesy waves
from older people than I see of any other time
on the road.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And you guys know I'm on the road a lot.
You won't see that from me.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I always give you if you let me in, I'm
going to give you a courtesy wave every damn time.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Man, I'll give him a courtesy wave. If they don't
let me.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It is a lost art. It is a lost freaking art.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, Shane Waldron fired today is the offensive coordinator with
these Chicago Bears. I was doing some number crunching for
the Husky UCLA game on Saturday or on Friday. Sorry,
you want to hear what number crunching sounds like? By
the way, there it is. That's number crunching right there?
Is that a phone book? No, No, that's my notebook
because I write stuff down. That's another thing that's lost.
(06:17):
Oh yeah, his actual penmanship tensaulting down. He doesn't write
anything down. He uses his laptop forever.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
My penmanship's offul If you ask my son to write
his name, yeah, like it looks like he's nine.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, your penmanship is pretty bad. Because they are always typing.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Honest with you.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Man, your your penmanship looks like I'm asking you to
recreate a Chinese menu.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
After about twenty five really nice cursive.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I was looking at the numbers for the game. You
realize that UCLA has the number seven run defense in
the country, number seven in the country at ninety eight
point one yards per game, the number thirteen yards per
carry at three point two three three yards per game.
And I think, if you dub is going to win
this game on Friday, don't we need number one to
carry the load a little bit here? If the offensive
line is still not good enough to protect Will Rodgers
(07:09):
enough to give him a chance to chuck the ball around,
are we going to be able to run the ball
on the number seven run defense in the country. That's
my biggest question, because I go back and look at
what they did against Iowa, and maybe part of this
is the fact that they had to go to the
Rose Bowl and the going multiple time zone thing and
blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Huge.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They ran for two hundred and eleven yards on Iowa's defense,
and they held Caden Johnson to forty nine yards on
eighteen carries. Now, what do people always say about running
it travels, it travels. Rushing defense and rushing offense is
supposed to travel. Didn't travel to Pasadena. Didn't travel at all, Dick.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I feel like we've had this conversation before and you
were right and I was wrong. And I don't know
if this is the same situation as we had before,
but that situation was the Apple Cup. And I'm coming
into this game feeling very similar to the way I
felt going into the Apple Cup, except I'm more confident that.
I'm more confident the Dogs will win this than I
(08:08):
was going into the Apple Cup.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But I still thought the Dogs were gonna win the
Apple Cup.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I just I understand the numbers for UCLA, but also
there they were one in five and zero to four
in conference for a reason, right, And people were talking
John Wilner, a guy who respect watching every single one
of those god awful games for UCLA, and what was
he saying. He was saying, this is the worst team
in the conference I've seen in years. And so does
(08:34):
a three point win over Rutgers, a seven point win
over Nebraska, and a three point win over Iowa all
of a sudden turn. Quote, the worst team I've seen
in the conference in years into somebody that can come
in and beat this Washington team the way they play
in this building.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Uh yeah, okay, yeah, all right, you might be right
about read this week.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I would bet the Huskies to win the game.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But how can I anybody be shocked if UCLA wins
this game on Friday. I mean, there's two things that
I'm just kind of curious about. First of all, they're
five and zero at home, and to still aligne from Jackson.
They're kind of due for a loss, all right, And
they've won nineteen straight at Husky Stadium. Eventually that's going
to end. Now, maybe it doesn't end this Friday. Maybe
it ends halfway through the twenty twenty seven season. I
(09:21):
got no idea. That's number one. Number two. Where is
this football team now? After getting smacked around by Penn
State on Saturday?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You think they're quitting?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I know, I'm not saying they're quitting, but I wonder
if there are will Rogers factions and Demon Williams factions.
Is there any finger pointing going on? I mean, you
got a bunch of kids that's prone to happen. I'm
not going to say they're quitting whatsoever, because there's no
evidence of that at all. I'm not seeing guys that
are loafing out there. I didn't see any of that.
I mean, Jed Fish even pointed at this out the
(09:51):
long run by Is it Corey Smith who had the
long run in the fourth quarter for Penn State and
the way those guys chased him down to avoid a touchdown?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
There was no quit in that team whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They were just beaten by a better football team on Saturday,
So I don't think there's quitting.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But are they on the same page with each other?
You know, THEO line doesn't look like it does.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Demon have half that locker room, just will have half
that locker room. Is their finger pointing going on with
a defense who all of a sudden can't stop the run,
All of a sudden they can't run the ball. Other
issues with the coaching staff, I don't know, Dick. I mean,
maybe none of that's happening whatsoever. And they're as tight
as a drum. That's certainly as possible that Jedfish has
these guys unified and they'll come out and look great.
(10:29):
The other part of it is for UCLA, they got
three games left against three not very good football teams.
They got a five win Husky team, a four to
win USC team, and a five win Fresno team, and they.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Need two of those for a ball.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
They can do it.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They could win two of those three. But I mean,
I'm just looking at how this team has responded this
year to losses. They responded to the Wazoo crushing loss
with a dominant defensive performance at home against Northwestern. They
responded to the loss that they never ever, ever should
have had to Rutgers with a dominant defensive performance against Michigan.
They responded to back to back losses to Iowa Indiana
(11:04):
embarrassing losses to Iowa Indiana with a dominant defensive performance
against USC. And I think they are going to respond
to a loss against Penn State with a dominant defensive
performance where they hold UCLA to the seventeen ish, yeah,
twenty ish points in this football game.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, if it's twenty and the Huskies score twenty four
or twenty seven, that means we could have a game
in the fourth quarter, and that means anything goes. You know,
I think we're gontd bad snap. You know, somebody fumbles
a snap, which they've been prone to do this year.
It seems like they kind of clean that up lately.
You know, you get a face mask penalty that wipes
out a big play, you get a defensive holding call,
(11:42):
you get a bat snap out a punt. I mean,
when you're not blowing people out, you allow yourself for
freak things to have a real impact on a football.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Our offense is good enough to blow anybody totally.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I mean, dick, the look the Huskies offense is one
hundred ninth in the country.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Could one hundred and ninth good yards, they're good.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But yards don't matter.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, all that matters is scoring, right, if we're gonna
do the whole all that matters are scoring thing. They're
one hundred and ninth in the country and at twenty
one point eight points per game, they haven't scored more
than nineteen points in one road game the entire season.
And this offense was supposed to be well. I mean again,
you've got some skilled players that are good. They kind
of remind me of the Seahawks right now. Honestly, and
we've talked about this before, like do the Huskies have
(12:23):
decent receivers? Yes, I think they have decent receivers. Very
Do they have a good running back room?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes, Do they have decent quarterbacks?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Maybe not stars, but you know, decent enough, decent enough quarterbacks.
Do they have the Geno Smith of college football on
their football team? Is the offensive line? And the problem
with the Seahawks is the offensive line. The problem with
the Huskies, Okay, there you go. So what the hell
is the problem with is town? How come both teams
have to have the same issues at the same time.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Well, it's I mean, at least from a college standpoints,
a lot easier to explain the NFL standpoint because a
college standpoint, there's no offensive lineman around here, right, Like
on the entire West Coast, there's like three, right, you
gotta get offensive line and from the South and from Texas,
and like that's why what West Coast teams have always
struggled with the offensive line of the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Well, you know, look, I mean, obviously this is going
to come down to buying players, you know, And I'm
just I am we will get used to this at
some point. We will get used to the Big ten travel.
Like I got a bunch of my Cougar buddies are
all just running their mouths I mean, just you know,
what's it like to go out there and get your
ass kick man?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Good luck going to Mars next year? Right, crap like that?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Did they think we were going to be eleven and
one this year?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They're just taking advantage of the opportunity because they know
it's not gonna last very long, all right. And by
the way, you know what else is coming to fruition.
You know what other truth is being played out here
that the only time that Cougar's win the Apple Cup
is when the Huskies stick.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That's right, and it's happening again.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
They haven't beaten an eight win Husky team eight win
or more games since nineteen ninety seven, and it ain't
gonna happen again this year.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So I would just.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Tell all the Cougar all my Cougar pals out there
flapping yourcumbs, don't get used to it or soak it
in because it ain't going to continue. It's all right,
just just live it up while you can.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Dork smart.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So finding out what type of margin for air Washington
State has to make the playoffs, right, Like they're already
out and they've only lost one game, right, that's your
margin for aer Koug's you have to go.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Perfect to make the playoffs, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I just put a poll out by the way, asking
people for their concern meter for the Husky Ucla game
on Friday night. Not concerned at all, somewhat concerned, or
very concerned for the Ucla game on Friday.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So we'll see what people say.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, Factor fiction fun with audio Husky Hanks, John
Willner ever fits here before the Cracking Columbus.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a cracking ticket Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Wait until you hear.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The sounder once an hour every hour, be the tenth
collar at two eight six ninety five and win a
pair of seats for the Kraken Ottawa game on the
seventeenth of December at Climate Pledge Arena. That's all coming
up on a busy Tuesday, right here on ninety three
three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Mud from the R and R Founday Specialists Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick on your home for
the Huskies and the krekend Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ r FM.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Hi, boys and guys, We're back here in a busy Tuesday.
The Seattle International Auto Show, brought to you by b
ECU Gas Hybrid ev you got questions, we got answers,
test drives, demonstrations, information, all under one roof at the
Llumenfield Event Center from November fourteenth to the seventeenth. Discover
your drive. More information at Seattle autoshow dot com. Would
(15:36):
you like an update boys on the poll regarding the
concern meter for the UCLA games. I mean, even if
you said no, it's gonna give it to you, Okay,
So whatever. Let's see, we got three options for UCLA
not concerned, somewhat concerned, or very concerned. Seventy nine percent
are voting somewhat or very concerned for the UCLA game.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Time give me the percentage that are voting, forty that
are voting not at all concern and somewhat.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm telling you a twenty one point six not concerned,
forty three point two somewhat thirty five point eight varies.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
So you could have also phrased that as two thirds
of the respondents are saying they're not at all concerned
or just somewhat concerned, But you chose to phrase it
the other way.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I did choose to phrase it that way because you
are giving off a vibe, you are emanating something is
coming from this. I don't know what that is. But
something's going on over there. We got talking, something's happening.
We got some fabrieze over here. For a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
By the way that you're not concerned about this game.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You sound like you think we're gonna walk in there
and just take this from them and go home with
a six win.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think they're gonna win. I would vote if you had.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I voted for somewhat concerned, because I don't think this
team is playing well enough for you to be not
at all concerned about a win over any.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Power four team right now. I'll allow that.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
But if you had four options, if you put one
in between not at all concerned and somewhat concerned, I'd
probably vote for that one. I think this is going
to be a nice, comfortable seven to thirteen point win.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
For the But isn't that the weasel option though that
you're talking about you you always tell me, don't go
the weasel away, don't weasel Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
If you would have had no middle option, I would
vote and not concerned.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I want to know how concerned people are for this game.
On Friday, Mario will be on it four. He just
walked in Mario how concerned are you about the UCLA
game Friday? He's very concerned, Jackson, How about you?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
I would say somewhat, But yeah, if you were two options,
if you knew the two options, I'm going very concerned. Yeah,
if I know the two options, I'm going honestly, I
probably would have said the opposite. But then, Sophie, you
stat that you had in the first segment there about
UCLA's run defense, that that makes me.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Very very concerned. If I was to choose between the
two of.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
How does that happen?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
How does a team that wears powder blue uniforms, which,
by the way, if I were ever a UCLA fan,
I'd say, can we change our colors? Because we look
like whimps with those things? All the Chargers were powder?
Are the Chargers good to the Chargers?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
They right? Okay, Now that's the NFL, all right?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And first of all, the Chargers haven't been to a
Super Bowl in thirty years, I'll remind you, and the
one time where they were there, they got their ass
kicked by the forty nine Ers. UCLA hasn't done anything since.
Like Mario was in fourth grade, I would change the
uniform colors if I were UCLA. I would also find
my own stadium and not have to play in the
(18:38):
rolls boll too.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You mentioned the runoffense, I would. I would say that Kyle.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Mnungui and Jonah Coleman Alm are pretty comparison comparable right
running backs. Yeah, well, kylem and nung Guy nineteen carries
one hundred and six yards five point six yards of
carrying three touchdowns against ucl.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What about the other teams they played? What about Kaden Johnson?
What about him?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
They shut Kid Johnson down? Yeah, I mean those are
the two best running backs that they've seen. So you
could phrase it a different way.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
You could phrase it that they shut down Caden Johnson,
but instead you phrase it to shut down Kyle mann Guy.
I mean, look, I don't think that UCLA is a
premier team. I do think that they're playing better than
they were a month ago. I think that they've got
a lot of motivation now on Friday night, and I
think it's a concern. I mean I would again, if
(19:28):
you put an axe to my head and said you're wrong,
I'm gonna pull back and cut off your ear, which
is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I'm going to put you in the wood shipper like
in Fargo, which is even more.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Disgusting, especially going at head first, which is probably the
way to go, to be honest with you, if you're
putting somebody in a wood shipper, or you're going into
a wood shipper, you're definitely wanting to go head first,
as long as your arms.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Can you imagine why your arms and hands and to
be chopped off before it gets to you.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You had really long arms though, and you went in
first and it took like an hour to get to
your elbow.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
The idea of a guillotine right there's there's a Mario
second period right now, It's.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Just like, what the hell are you guys talking?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I think we should do over the off season when
things are really slow in the reserve bracket twenty games out,
we're the worst ways to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Die in the brac.
Speaker 1 (20:17):

Marrow Melea Greg Lewis talk about what we saw against
Penn State, looking ahead to u c LA Friday pregame
at two kickoff six right here on ninety three to
three KJRFM. All right, here we go a little fun
with audio slash. Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
This morning on the facility? How many freaking shows are there?
And every show's got a name? Wake up, get up,
go to bed, take a nap, have a sandwich, eat lunch,
enjoyed dinner after breakfast before bed.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Like what the hell?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
There's four guys in the facility and they have a
tendency to talk all at the same time.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Like this show this morning on the Facility, on Fox
Sports one, Emanuel Achio shared a text he received from
a Seahawk Pro bowler back in September about his former
offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'll share this, I won't share the name.
Speaker 10 (25:02):
I got a text while we were doing the show
from a Pro Bowl player who played for the Seahawks
when Shane Waldron was there. This was September twenty sixth.
I could have told you when the o C Shane
Waldron had hired, the offense was gonna be some bleep.
Never understood that hier. I respond, They respond, man, they
hated him in Seattle, and we collectively felt like we
didn't have a good offensive coaching staff. Close quote. Now,
(25:26):
I didn't play for Shane Waldron. I didn't play in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'm sure his heck.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Didn't play in Chicago. But on September twenty sixth, on Thursday,
after the Bears lost to the Colts and Caleb struggled again,
I got a text from somebody who played under that
Seattle brand saying I could have told you the offense
was gonna be some bleep. The bleep worth started with
an S. So with that being said, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So The question is which Pro Bowl player texted Emmanuelaccio
Because Corbyn Smith pointed this out, there's only three guys, Lockett,
Gino or Deka.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's right, which one does.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Definitely is most likely to be running his mouth about
Shane Waldron. I mean, like, when you've got personalities like that,
especially with DK Metcalf, you got to have somebody who
can command a room. And Shane Waldron just ain't it.
And the guys in Chicago I was on their show today,
actually asked me why was Shane Waldron allowed to stick
around so long in Seattle? And I said, well, there's
(26:23):
two things I can think of. Number One, they fired
Brian Schottenheimer, so I think they wanted to make this
work desperately with Shane Waldron. And then number two, I
don't know if Pete Carroll at the end had the
authority that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We think he had.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I mean, he was the one that got fired, right,
he may have wanted to make a move. And John
Schneider said no, for all I know, I got no idea.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Well, I remember JSN was on he said, den you
remember he was asked about it on the podcast and
he goes, uh.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Right, is this live here?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Hear what Brendan Carroll said today when I asked him
at the press conference about how the offensive line played Saturday,
and the first thing out of his mouth he just
turned we can all agree with that. We gotta grab
that alright, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
All?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Miss upset number three Georgia twenty eight ten Saturday in Mississippi.
After the loss, the Bulldogs backup safety Jake Pope was
seen celebrating I'm a feel with Ole Miss fans at
a press conference yesterday. Georgia coach Kirby Smart reacted to
the video of his players celebrating.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Kirby there's a video on social media Jake Pope seemingly
celebrating with some Ole Miss fans on the field after
the game. Just wanted to see if you had seen
that and what your reaction to it was.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, what an idiot?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I mean what I mean?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Just stupid.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I didn't see it till today. But he's embarrassed about it.
He's upset about it. That's obviously a childhood friend of his.
He grew up and played with are at Buford and
knows him. Hadn't seen him in forever, but just not
real smart. But to be honest with you, I don't
have time to waste energy on that. I mean, you
know what I'm saying, Like, like, my focus is on Tennessee.
I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
What an idiot? Yeah, what an idiot.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
God.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I couldn't figure out why you would have been jumping
up and down with his buddy right they had just lost.
Even if his buddy said, hey, guess what I just
found out I'm gonna be a dad or something like that,
like the best. I mean, I still couldn't figure out
why you'd be jumping up and down with all the crowd.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I think what players would tell you is that a
lot of these guys that play high school football together
and grow up with each other, when they go their
separate ways and they play college football, they don't get
to see each other often at all.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So when you see.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Somebody you haven't seen in two years or a year
or whatever, you're gonna have that natural reaction. I would
just say to this Jake Pope guy, and I've thought
this for years, get off the field, do it in
the tunnel, right like nothing pisses me off. More as
a fan when I am I rate after a loss
and I see my favorite players who just lost the
game exchanging jerseys with the opposing players and laughing and yuck,
(28:53):
get it up, get your ass off the field.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Do that in the tunnel? Well, it's what an idiot
I don't want to see.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
It's one thing if he were to go over and
hug the guy and be happy and talk to the guy,
because that you can explain that away really easily, because hey,
I haven't seen him in a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He was one of my best friends.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
But he was literally jumping up and down with that
lost of the fans.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's a bad look, especially in that place. By the way,
all right, ad Dick, did you happy to hear that?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
After BYU beat Utah by one point saturday utes, athletic
director Mark Harlan blasting the game's officiating crew during a
twenty one second press conference. Here are the comments that
got Harlan fined forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Director for twelve years. This game was absolutely stolen from us.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We were excited about being Big twelve, but tonight I
am not.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
We won this game. Someone else stole it from us.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
This is not fair to our team.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Thank you so.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Like I said to you on yesterday's show, I'm glad
we have the highlight.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
By the way, Yeah, what an idiot.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I think if you had just heard the highlights from
my from from Harlan and you hadn't seen the play
he's talking about, which is the holding penalty, you would
have thought, oh, this is like the worst call in
the history of football.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And you know what, the more I watched the play,
it was the right call. It was a holding penalty.
I mean, how how often do eighties take the podium
after a game? Hardly ever do they do that, take
the podium after a game. And this guy does this
after a call like that that like eighty percent of
the country thought was the right call. Anyway, I'm wondering
Cross as a boot.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I'm wondering if you ever saw the replay, because this
was right after the game, right.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I mean yeah, right?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And also if it's if it's the last play of
the game, I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Or if it gets you know, fourth down, it gets
you down to the one yard line, but they had
to go fifty.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
More yards to get into field goal range after that call.
I mean they could have stopped Utah from scoring of
field goal.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Where was the ball after the holding penalty? The thirty
of BYU right, Yeah, their own thirty fifty more yards? Actually,
you know what it was on their nineteen They had
to go eighty They had to go the field goal
ready to get to the Utah twenty six to kick
the field goals. So yeah, about fifty yards and they
couldn't stop them. And guess how many points Utah scored
(31:09):
in the second half zero zero. I just think it
sounds like an idiot, an absolute freaking idiot.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Yeah, what an idiot?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I got time for one more Jackson, one more.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Don't you know what Apollo said to Rocky, There is
no tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
We're gonna brank. Husky Hawks are next on ninety three
to three KJRFM.
Were we go Bears of fired Shane Walder And how
about that?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Who saw that coming?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
A nobody?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Are you kidding me? I mean, what in the absolute hell?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Man?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
The guy just is not it?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
He ain't it?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And how many times do we sit here on the
radio show thinking, God, if you're a Bears fan. And
maybe the poor bastards didn't even know, right of course
they had no idea. But if you're a Bears fan
and you watched any of the Seahawks the last couple
of years, if you heard anything on this radio station
or read anything from any other medium member, Look, I mean,
I feel like this is the second time that we've
(00:33):
done this to a fan base in the last couple
of years. First time was with Russell when all of
us told Denver It's like, dude, I'm just warning you.
There's like the guy's got a problem, right, So something
going on. And then we told Chicago about all this
stuff and they didn't want to hear it, and the
guy didn't even make Thanksgiving. First time in fifty four
years that the Bears have fired a coordinator during the
(00:54):
middle of the season. You know how bad you have
to be for a franchise to do something for the
first time in fifty four years. And I honestly I
feel bad for the guy. I really do, because he's
actually a nice guy. He's not a jerk, he's not
an a hole, he's not a prick. He's a nice guy.
But he's got less personality than this freaking desk over here.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, the you need personality to be an offensive course,
I think you do.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think you have to command a room. I think
you have to convince people that you know what the
hell you're doing. Yes, I think you have to absolutely
be able to lead men and convince players that you
have the answers, especially when you're dealing with pre We're
not a quarterbacks like Caleb Williams.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
The fact that Shane Waldron could not just let's just
look at the last three weeks. That quarterback that you
and I watched play against Washington in person last year,
where we both left that stadium a excited that we won,
but be going, my god, that dude's a freak show.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He is.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The past three weeks ten of twenty four one thirty
one no touchdowns, twenty two of forty one, two seventeen
no touchdowns, sixteen of thirty one to twenty no touchdowns.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
How cat like a.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Sixth grader should be able to walk in and hey,
hey Caleb, just like run around and throw deep. Should
be able to put more numbers on the board than
Shane Waldron did with that guy.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
When you have an offensive coordinator who looks like he's
nine years old and he's walking up to Kleb going, hey, Cay,
you think we should throw the Bobby on the ball,
He's staring at the ground the whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
He's freezing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh my god, he's just the guy just does not
exude any of that. And I want, really, in the end,
what I want out of my offensive coordinator. I mean
the obvious one of score points, right, But number two,
there's something that I think every offensive coordinator should possess,
and every fan base should want the same thing from
their offensive coordinator and their defensive coordinator. To be able
to look at a guy and say that is a
future head coach right there? Yes, And if they're not
(02:44):
exuding that, and they're not emanating that, then you probably
have the wrong guy, right, Because I look at Ryan
Grobb honestly, and I see a future head coach his personality,
way he carries himself. He is a future head coach
in the National Football League. Now he's got to get
things going here offensively, stand that, But Shane Waldron is
not a future head coach. I could never imagine a
football team hiring Shane Waldron and putting them on the
(03:07):
podium and say, are introducing the seventeen head coach of
the Jacksonville Jaguars, Shane Waldron.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And he goes up there. I mean, it's just not well,
you can.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Tell, you can usually tell right away. And look, I
know it's a hard thing. People are born with the
personalities that they're born with. Okay, I get it. I
was born a Spas, I'm a spaz, all right, that's fine.
But Shane Waldron, when you look at Shane Waldron, do
you see future head coach?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
He reminded me a lot of Bush had said the
same thing exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, Like you'd.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Interview him and he would never look you in the eye.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He would, yes, And that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And you know what, Jackson, I wonder if that's lost
on kids today, Like is that a fifty one year
old thing that Dick and I are talking about. Like
I would come to you and say Hey, when you
shake somebody's hand, you shake it fairly. When you talk
to somebody, you look him in the eye and you
address them in the eye.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Gonna pick that up heart a little bit because the
handshake thing, like, I think that still exists. But the
looking in the eye thing, I think that doesn't exist
because very much, my general we're on their phones a lot.
Like if I'm talking to you and I'm not looking
at your eye and I'm looking at my phone, that's
just because that's how I've like a lot of conversations.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You're Caleb Williams and I'm Shane Waldrip and you're asking me, Shane,
can you explain this play? And I'm looking at my
phone that well, that my phone says that you need
to go to the right side, not that I mean,
come on.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Well, if he's different, if you're a coach, right, if
he's looking at like a tablet and like referring back
to what he saw, okay, fine, But like you know,
if it's a one on one conversation, there's no devices
in hand and you're just going then yes, look the
dude in his eyes. So that there is there's parts
of it where it makes sense there's parts of it where.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I get it. Waldron's a young guy. Waldron's like my age, and.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Maybe maybe this will change him. I got no idea.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
So part of it makes sense of why he behaves
like a young guy in that sense because he's a
young one.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I think it's even worrified by the way he's
he really, I swear to God, I thought he was
Rejection's age.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, he's got a millennium vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What I said about changing, that's not gonna happen. He
is what he is, just forty five years.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, in the next generation, the generation of teens right
now that who were in like fifth, sixth, seventh grade
during the COVID and have their phones all the time, there,
you're gonna see even But let me know, I have
a lot of experience with that age group, and you're
gonna see even less eye contact in the future than.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You do right now. There's three things that have gone
the way. At the Dodo bird, which is another thing
that fifty year olds say, by the way, he's like,
what the hell is a Dodo bird? Three things looking
people the eye, a firm handshake, and a courtesy wave
pisses me off.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
A cursy gone driving done that, it's gone.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Although I see, I see, I see less courtesy waves
from older people than I see of any other time
on the road.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And you guys know I'm on the road a lot.
You won't see that from me.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I always give you if you let me in, I'm
going to give you a courtesy wave every damn time.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Man, I'll give him a courtesy wave. If they don't
let me.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It is a lost art. It is a lost freaking art.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, Shane Waldron fired today is the offensive coordinator with
these Chicago Bears. I was doing some number crunching for
the Husky UCLA game on Saturday or on Friday. Sorry,
you want to hear what number crunching sounds like? By
the way, there it is. That's number crunching right there?
Is that a phone book? No, No, that's my notebook
because I write stuff down. That's another thing that's lost.
(06:17):
Oh yeah, his actual penmanship tensaulting down. He doesn't write
anything down. He uses his laptop forever.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
My penmanship's offul If you ask my son to write
his name, yeah, like it looks like he's nine.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, your penmanship is pretty bad. Because they are always typing.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Honest with you.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Man, your your penmanship looks like I'm asking you to
recreate a Chinese menu.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
After about twenty five really nice cursive.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I was looking at the numbers for the game. You
realize that UCLA has the number seven run defense in
the country, number seven in the country at ninety eight
point one yards per game, the number thirteen yards per
carry at three point two three three yards per game.
And I think, if you dub is going to win
this game on Friday, don't we need number one to
carry the load a little bit here? If the offensive
line is still not good enough to protect Will Rodgers
(07:09):
enough to give him a chance to chuck the ball around,
are we going to be able to run the ball
on the number seven run defense in the country. That's
my biggest question, because I go back and look at
what they did against Iowa, and maybe part of this
is the fact that they had to go to the
Rose Bowl and the going multiple time zone thing and
blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Huge.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They ran for two hundred and eleven yards on Iowa's defense,
and they held Caden Johnson to forty nine yards on
eighteen carries. Now, what do people always say about running
it travels, it travels. Rushing defense and rushing offense is
supposed to travel. Didn't travel to Pasadena. Didn't travel at all, Dick.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I feel like we've had this conversation before and you
were right and I was wrong. And I don't know
if this is the same situation as we had before,
but that situation was the Apple Cup. And I'm coming
into this game feeling very similar to the way I
felt going into the Apple Cup, except I'm more confident that.
I'm more confident the Dogs will win this than I
(08:08):
was going into the Apple Cup.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But I still thought the Dogs were gonna win the
Apple Cup.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I just I understand the numbers for UCLA, but also
there they were one in five and zero to four
in conference for a reason, right, And people were talking
John Wilner, a guy who respect watching every single one
of those god awful games for UCLA, and what was
he saying. He was saying, this is the worst team
in the conference I've seen in years. And so does
(08:34):
a three point win over Rutgers, a seven point win
over Nebraska, and a three point win over Iowa all
of a sudden turn. Quote, the worst team I've seen
in the conference in years into somebody that can come
in and beat this Washington team the way they play
in this building.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Uh yeah, okay, yeah, all right, you might be right
about read this week.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I would bet the Huskies to win the game.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But how can I anybody be shocked if UCLA wins
this game on Friday. I mean, there's two things that
I'm just kind of curious about. First of all, they're
five and zero at home, and to still aligne from Jackson.
They're kind of due for a loss, all right, And
they've won nineteen straight at Husky Stadium. Eventually that's going
to end. Now, maybe it doesn't end this Friday. Maybe
it ends halfway through the twenty twenty seven season. I
(09:21):
got no idea. That's number one. Number two. Where is
this football team now? After getting smacked around by Penn
State on Saturday?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You think they're quitting?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I know, I'm not saying they're quitting, but I wonder
if there are will Rogers factions and Demon Williams factions.
Is there any finger pointing going on? I mean, you
got a bunch of kids that's prone to happen. I'm
not going to say they're quitting whatsoever, because there's no
evidence of that at all. I'm not seeing guys that
are loafing out there. I didn't see any of that.
I mean, Jed Fish even pointed at this out the
(09:51):
long run by Is it Corey Smith who had the
long run in the fourth quarter for Penn State and
the way those guys chased him down to avoid a touchdown?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
There was no quit in that team whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They were just beaten by a better football team on Saturday,
So I don't think there's quitting.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But are they on the same page with each other?
You know, THEO line doesn't look like it does.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Demon have half that locker room, just will have half
that locker room. Is their finger pointing going on with
a defense who all of a sudden can't stop the run,
All of a sudden they can't run the ball. Other
issues with the coaching staff, I don't know, Dick. I mean,
maybe none of that's happening whatsoever. And they're as tight
as a drum. That's certainly as possible that Jedfish has
these guys unified and they'll come out and look great.
(10:29):
The other part of it is for UCLA, they got
three games left against three not very good football teams.
They got a five win Husky team, a four to
win USC team, and a five win Fresno team, and they.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Need two of those for a ball.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
They can do it.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They could win two of those three. But I mean,
I'm just looking at how this team has responded this
year to losses. They responded to the Wazoo crushing loss
with a dominant defensive performance at home against Northwestern. They
responded to the loss that they never ever, ever should
have had to Rutgers with a dominant defensive performance against Michigan.
They responded to back to back losses to Iowa Indiana
(11:04):
embarrassing losses to Iowa Indiana with a dominant defensive performance
against USC. And I think they are going to respond
to a loss against Penn State with a dominant defensive
performance where they hold UCLA to the seventeen ish, yeah,
twenty ish points in this football game.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, if it's twenty and the Huskies score twenty four
or twenty seven, that means we could have a game
in the fourth quarter, and that means anything goes. You know,
I think we're gontd bad snap. You know, somebody fumbles
a snap, which they've been prone to do this year.
It seems like they kind of clean that up lately.
You know, you get a face mask penalty that wipes
out a big play, you get a defensive holding call,
(11:42):
you get a bat snap out a punt. I mean,
when you're not blowing people out, you allow yourself for
freak things to have a real impact on a football.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Our offense is good enough to blow anybody totally.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I mean, dick, the look the Huskies offense is one
hundred ninth in the country.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Could one hundred and ninth good yards, they're good.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But yards don't matter.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, all that matters is scoring, right, if we're gonna
do the whole all that matters are scoring thing. They're
one hundred and ninth in the country and at twenty
one point eight points per game, they haven't scored more
than nineteen points in one road game the entire season.
And this offense was supposed to be well. I mean again,
you've got some skilled players that are good. They kind
of remind me of the Seahawks right now. Honestly, and
we've talked about this before, like do the Huskies have
(12:23):
decent receivers? Yes, I think they have decent receivers. Very
Do they have a good running back room?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes, Do they have decent quarterbacks?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Maybe not stars, but you know, decent enough, decent enough quarterbacks.
Do they have the Geno Smith of college football on
their football team? Is the offensive line? And the problem
with the Seahawks is the offensive line. The problem with
the Huskies, Okay, there you go. So what the hell
is the problem with is town? How come both teams
have to have the same issues at the same time.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Well, it's I mean, at least from a college standpoints,
a lot easier to explain the NFL standpoint because a
college standpoint, there's no offensive lineman around here, right, Like
on the entire West Coast, there's like three, right, you
gotta get offensive line and from the South and from Texas,
and like that's why what West Coast teams have always
struggled with the offensive line of the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Well, you know, look, I mean, obviously this is going
to come down to buying players, you know, And I'm
just I am we will get used to this at
some point. We will get used to the Big ten travel.
Like I got a bunch of my Cougar buddies are
all just running their mouths I mean, just you know,
what's it like to go out there and get your
ass kick man?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Good luck going to Mars next year? Right, crap like that?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Did they think we were going to be eleven and
one this year?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They're just taking advantage of the opportunity because they know
it's not gonna last very long, all right. And by
the way, you know what else is coming to fruition.
You know what other truth is being played out here
that the only time that Cougar's win the Apple Cup
is when the Huskies stick.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That's right, and it's happening again.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
They haven't beaten an eight win Husky team eight win
or more games since nineteen ninety seven, and it ain't
gonna happen again this year.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So I would just.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Tell all the Cougar all my Cougar pals out there
flapping yourcumbs, don't get used to it or soak it
in because it ain't going to continue. It's all right,
just just live it up while you can.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Dork smart.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So finding out what type of margin for air Washington
State has to make the playoffs, right, Like they're already
out and they've only lost one game, right, that's your
margin for aer Koug's you have to go.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Perfect to make the playoffs, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I just put a poll out by the way, asking
people for their concern meter for the Husky Ucla game
on Friday night. Not concerned at all, somewhat concerned, or
very concerned for the Ucla game on Friday.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So we'll see what people say.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, Factor fiction fun with audio Husky Hanks, John
Willner ever fits here before the Cracking Columbus.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a cracking ticket Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Wait until you hear.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The sounder once an hour every hour, be the tenth
collar at two eight six ninety five and win a
pair of seats for the Kraken Ottawa game on the
seventeenth of December at Climate Pledge Arena. That's all coming
up on a busy Tuesday, right here on ninety three
three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Mud from the R and R Founday Specialists Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick on your home for
the Huskies and the krekend Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ r FM.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Hi, boys and guys, We're back here in a busy Tuesday.
The Seattle International Auto Show, brought to you by b
ECU Gas Hybrid ev you got questions, we got answers,
test drives, demonstrations, information, all under one roof at the
Llumenfield Event Center from November fourteenth to the seventeenth. Discover
your drive. More information at Seattle autoshow dot com. Would
(15:36):
you like an update boys on the poll regarding the
concern meter for the UCLA games. I mean, even if
you said no, it's gonna give it to you, Okay,
So whatever. Let's see, we got three options for UCLA
not concerned, somewhat concerned, or very concerned. Seventy nine percent
are voting somewhat or very concerned for the UCLA game.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Time give me the percentage that are voting, forty that
are voting not at all concern and somewhat.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm telling you a twenty one point six not concerned,
forty three point two somewhat thirty five point eight varies.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
So you could have also phrased that as two thirds
of the respondents are saying they're not at all concerned
or just somewhat concerned, But you chose to phrase it
the other way.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I did choose to phrase it that way because you
are giving off a vibe, you are emanating something is
coming from this. I don't know what that is. But
something's going on over there. We got talking, something's happening.
We got some fabrieze over here. For a reason.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
By the way that you're not concerned about this game.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
You sound like you think we're gonna walk in there
and just take this from them and go home with
a six win.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think they're gonna win. I would vote if you had.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I voted for somewhat concerned, because I don't think this
team is playing well enough for you to be not
at all concerned about a win over any.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Power four team right now. I'll allow that.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
But if you had four options, if you put one
in between not at all concerned and somewhat concerned, I'd
probably vote for that one. I think this is going
to be a nice, comfortable seven to thirteen point win.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
For the But isn't that the weasel option though that
you're talking about you you always tell me, don't go
the weasel away, don't weasel Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
If you would have had no middle option, I would
vote and not concerned.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I want to know how concerned people are for this game.
On Friday, Mario will be on it four. He just
walked in Mario how concerned are you about the UCLA
game Friday? He's very concerned, Jackson, How about you?
Speaker 7 (17:36):
I would say somewhat, But yeah, if you were two options,
if you knew the two options, I'm going very concerned. Yeah,
if I know the two options, I'm going honestly, I
probably would have said the opposite. But then, Sophie, you
stat that you had in the first segment there about
UCLA's run defense, that that makes me.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Very very concerned. If I was to choose between the
two of.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
How does that happen?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
How does a team that wears powder blue uniforms, which,
by the way, if I were ever a UCLA fan,
I'd say, can we change our colors? Because we look
like whimps with those things? All the Chargers were powder?
Are the Chargers good to the Chargers?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
They right? Okay, Now that's the NFL, all right?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And first of all, the Chargers haven't been to a
Super Bowl in thirty years, I'll remind you, and the
one time where they were there, they got their ass
kicked by the forty nine Ers. UCLA hasn't done anything since.
Like Mario was in fourth grade, I would change the
uniform colors if I were UCLA. I would also find
my own stadium and not have to play in the
(18:38):
rolls boll too.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You mentioned the runoffense, I would. I would say that Kyle.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Mnungui and Jonah Coleman Alm are pretty comparison comparable right
running backs. Yeah, well, kylem and nung Guy nineteen carries
one hundred and six yards five point six yards of
carrying three touchdowns against ucl.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What about the other teams they played? What about Kaden Johnson?
What about him?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
They shut Kid Johnson down? Yeah, I mean those are
the two best running backs that they've seen. So you
could phrase it a different way.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
You could phrase it that they shut down Caden Johnson,
but instead you phrase it to shut down Kyle mann Guy.
I mean, look, I don't think that UCLA is a
premier team. I do think that they're playing better than
they were a month ago. I think that they've got
a lot of motivation now on Friday night, and I
think it's a concern. I mean I would again, if
(19:28):
you put an axe to my head and said you're wrong,
I'm gonna pull back and cut off your ear, which
is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I'm going to put you in the wood shipper like
in Fargo, which is even more.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Disgusting, especially going at head first, which is probably the
way to go, to be honest with you, if you're
putting somebody in a wood shipper, or you're going into
a wood shipper, you're definitely wanting to go head first,
as long as your arms.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Can you imagine why your arms and hands and to
be chopped off before it gets to you.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You had really long arms though, and you went in
first and it took like an hour to get to
your elbow.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
The idea of a guillotine right there's there's a Mario
second period right now, It's.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Just like, what the hell are you guys talking?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I think we should do over the off season when
things are really slow in the reserve bracket twenty games out,
we're the worst ways to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Die in the brac.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Let's do a bracket of July when when the forty.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Stadium, we're we're all tuking up the sun at cheese ten.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Do a crevass. No one's there to help you. You
can't move hands first into a wood ship.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm writing it on my notes right now.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So we don't for feet thousd doused in lighter fluid
and you're you catch on fire? All right, I mean
worst the top eight worst ways to die go to
forty one right now?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh god, dude, I'm believable.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Somebody carving your eyebrows out with an ice cream scoop man.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
All right, time for factor fiction. Right now, we're set

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Do you think though, that if you went feet first
into a woodchipper that eventually you just passed out from
the pain.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Depends on how slow you go?
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, exactly, Like are they going inch by inch or
is it just like like when they're pushing when the.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Hand crank woodship. Definitely they make your fiction. They make
sausageize factor fix. They go backwards and forwards. Factor fiction
brought to you by the Emeral Queen Casino. Tuesdays, Dick Day,

Screw the non believers. I am putting my money where
my mouth is.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
You dub at home has allowed three, five, nine, seventeen
and twenty one points. UCLA is seventy ninth in yards
per play and one hundred and eighteenth in scoring offense.
They don't get past twenty points. Give me the dogs
minus three.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And a half on blackout fright or like the guy
from the Indiana Jones and the Temple to Doom. You
non believe, none believe, Then you're gonna reach into your
heart and rip out your beating heart and show up
to him speaking the worst ways to die. It's gonna
be on fire. That'll be on Twitter. And in the third
quarter when we're up to touchdown, you dub minus three
and a half.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Is that right? Yes, Husky's minus three and a half
is the play you like?
Speaker 1 (22:34):

four or five one factor fiction Huskies minus the points
is the play.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Did I read your one word text I just received
from my mom based on my pitch? She says, idiot,
there you go, Mom, Hold on, do we know what?
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Do we know that the ick is not referring to
the ways to die though, because our text line and
my probably.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
But no, Then she clarified with how awful the dogs
have been playing.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You've got to be really worried about everything. Okay, that's
gonna say.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I heard of Joe Poopa's pants again? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
All right?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You minus three minus three and a half get him in.

All right, Husky Hawks will be here at four o'clock
Marrow Melea Greg Lewis talk about what we saw against
Penn State, looking ahead to u c LA Friday pregame
at two kickoff six right here on ninety three to
three KJRFM. All right, here we go a little fun
with audio slash. Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
This morning on the facility? How many freaking shows are there?
And every show's got a name? Wake up, get up,
go to bed, take a nap, have a sandwich, eat lunch,
enjoyed dinner after breakfast before bed.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Like what the hell?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
There's four guys in the facility and they have a
tendency to talk all at the same time.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Like this show this morning on the Facility, on Fox
Sports one, Emanuel Achio shared a text he received from
a Seahawk Pro bowler back in September about his former
offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'll share this, I won't share the name.
Speaker 10 (25:02):
I got a text while we were doing the show
from a Pro Bowl player who played for the Seahawks
when Shane Waldron was there. This was September twenty sixth.
I could have told you when the o C Shane
Waldron had hired, the offense was gonna be some bleep.
Never understood that hier. I respond, They respond, man, they
hated him in Seattle, and we collectively felt like we
didn't have a good offensive coaching staff. Close quote. Now,
(25:26):
I didn't play for Shane Waldron. I didn't play in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'm sure his heck.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Didn't play in Chicago. But on September twenty sixth, on Thursday,
after the Bears lost to the Colts and Caleb struggled again,
I got a text from somebody who played under that
Seattle brand saying I could have told you the offense
was gonna be some bleep. The bleep worth started with
an S. So with that being said, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So The question is which Pro Bowl player texted Emmanuelaccio
Because Corbyn Smith pointed this out, there's only three guys, Lockett,
Gino or Deka.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's right, which one does.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Definitely is most likely to be running his mouth about
Shane Waldron. I mean, like, when you've got personalities like that,
especially with DK Metcalf, you got to have somebody who
can command a room. And Shane Waldron just ain't it.
And the guys in Chicago I was on their show today,
actually asked me why was Shane Waldron allowed to stick
around so long in Seattle? And I said, well, there's
(26:23):
two things I can think of. Number One, they fired
Brian Schottenheimer, so I think they wanted to make this
work desperately with Shane Waldron. And then number two, I
don't know if Pete Carroll at the end had the
authority that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We think he had.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I mean, he was the one that got fired, right,
he may have wanted to make a move. And John
Schneider said no, for all I know, I got no idea.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Well, I remember JSN was on he said, den you
remember he was asked about it on the podcast and
he goes, uh.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Right, is this live here?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Hear what Brendan Carroll said today when I asked him
at the press conference about how the offensive line played Saturday,
and the first thing out of his mouth he just
turned we can all agree with that. We gotta grab
that alright, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
All?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Miss upset number three Georgia twenty eight ten Saturday in Mississippi.
After the loss, the Bulldogs backup safety Jake Pope was
seen celebrating I'm a feel with Ole Miss fans at
a press conference yesterday. Georgia coach Kirby Smart reacted to
the video of his players celebrating.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Kirby there's a video on social media Jake Pope seemingly
celebrating with some Ole Miss fans on the field after
the game. Just wanted to see if you had seen
that and what your reaction to it was.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, what an idiot?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I mean what I mean?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Just stupid.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I didn't see it till today. But he's embarrassed about it.
He's upset about it. That's obviously a childhood friend of his.
He grew up and played with are at Buford and
knows him. Hadn't seen him in forever, but just not
real smart. But to be honest with you, I don't
have time to waste energy on that. I mean, you
know what I'm saying, Like, like, my focus is on Tennessee.
I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
What an idiot? Yeah, what an idiot.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
God.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I couldn't figure out why you would have been jumping
up and down with his buddy right they had just lost.
Even if his buddy said, hey, guess what I just
found out I'm gonna be a dad or something like that,
like the best. I mean, I still couldn't figure out
why you'd be jumping up and down with all the crowd.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I think what players would tell you is that a
lot of these guys that play high school football together
and grow up with each other, when they go their
separate ways and they play college football, they don't get
to see each other often at all.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So when you see.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Somebody you haven't seen in two years or a year
or whatever, you're gonna have that natural reaction. I would
just say to this Jake Pope guy, and I've thought
this for years, get off the field, do it in
the tunnel, right like nothing pisses me off. More as
a fan when I am I rate after a loss
and I see my favorite players who just lost the
game exchanging jerseys with the opposing players and laughing and yuck,
(28:53):
get it up, get your ass off the field.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Do that in the tunnel? Well, it's what an idiot
I don't want to see.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
It's one thing if he were to go over and
hug the guy and be happy and talk to the guy,
because that you can explain that away really easily, because hey,
I haven't seen him in a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
He was one of my best friends.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
But he was literally jumping up and down with that
lost of the fans.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's a bad look, especially in that place. By the way,
all right, ad Dick, did you happy to hear that?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
After BYU beat Utah by one point saturday utes, athletic
director Mark Harlan blasting the game's officiating crew during a
twenty one second press conference. Here are the comments that
got Harlan fined forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Director for twelve years. This game was absolutely stolen from us.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We were excited about being Big twelve, but tonight I
am not.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
We won this game. Someone else stole it from us.
Speaker 10 (29:42):
This is not fair to our team.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Thank you so.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Like I said to you on yesterday's show, I'm glad
we have the highlight.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
By the way, Yeah, what an idiot.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I think if you had just heard the highlights from
my from from Harlan and you hadn't seen the play
he's talking about, which is the holding penalty, you would
have thought, oh, this is like the worst call in
the history of football.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And you know what, the more I watched the play,
it was the right call. It was a holding penalty.
I mean, how how often do eighties take the podium
after a game? Hardly ever do they do that, take
the podium after a game. And this guy does this
after a call like that that like eighty percent of
the country thought was the right call. Anyway, I'm wondering
Cross as a boot.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I'm wondering if you ever saw the replay, because this
was right after the game, right.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I mean yeah, right?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And also if it's if it's the last play of
the game, I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Or if it gets you know, fourth down, it gets
you down to the one yard line, but they had
to go fifty.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
More yards to get into field goal range after that call.
I mean they could have stopped Utah from scoring of
field goal.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Where was the ball after the holding penalty? The thirty
of BYU right, Yeah, their own thirty fifty more yards? Actually,
you know what it was on their nineteen They had
to go eighty They had to go the field goal
ready to get to the Utah twenty six to kick
the field goals. So yeah, about fifty yards and they
couldn't stop them. And guess how many points Utah scored
(31:09):
in the second half zero zero. I just think it
sounds like an idiot, an absolute freaking idiot.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Yeah, what an idiot?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I got time for one more Jackson, one more.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Don't you know what Apollo said to Rocky, There is
no tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
We're gonna brank. Husky Hawks are next on ninety three
to three KJRFM.
