Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we go, Chuck Powell, I guess I gotta go
online and read this thing. Check wrote a story for
the website. Finally, somebody around here did something for the website.
At ninety three three kjar dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We post something every day for the website.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Are you kidding me? What do I do in the morning?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Then?
Speaker 5 (00:19):
When I said him for a social di you you
reposted on social you know this.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Let me ask you a question something different.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You're telling me that you're doing something for the radio station,
and you technically have no idea what that's exactly. I
do what Jackson tells me to do. I'm going to
our website here. I'm going to click on the Softian
Dick page. When do you think the Softian Dick page
was updated last? I know this actually ape, let's see.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
Let's look at I know, I know the exact day.
I think the boss is going to be happy that
you're talking about this.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, but I don't care. He's in a meeting.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Actually, technically the web page has been updated because our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Go to our page. Oh there, so it was yesterday.
So yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But the last time somebody did like an actual story,
like sat Down wrote something months six seven months ago,
maybe even a year ago. I may have done something before,
like the Texas game or the Oregon game last year.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
I got noise.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I can tell you that the last thing we posted
was the Maller Millon mock draft from this year, and
then the thing before that, the previous Maller Millon mock
draft from So.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
If we were to write and should hire somebody, if
we were to write an editorial right now, what would
be the topic? What would be the topic that would
that would get us fired up enough to spend thirty minutes?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Nobody does anything for the website that I was being serious,
I don't know. I mean, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Five reasons why the Husky should start?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Demand Williams, Well, do you need five? I got not twenty?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You really need five? I mean, how about just one?
For God's sakes. He's a better player right now than
Will Rogers me. I mean, it's like we said yesterday
with Dick. I mean, you know, Dick's been you know,
uh tooting that horn for the last month, and I
don't think he was ready a month ago.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think he's ready now.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think after playing a full half of football against
Penn State, almost a full have a football against UCLA.
He's been coming in in spot situations in almost every
game has played this year.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think again, you know, we can argue.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I know he was going to talk about this when
he comes on the year on Friday, that maybe Will
Rogers has gotten the short end of this stick. But
in the end, it's all about the team, right, Yes,
it's about the team and if they are setting demon
Williams up for success more so than if he had
sat on the bench the entire year, that I'm all
for it.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I'm totally all for it.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I mean only think he's clearly more prepared for twenty
twenty five if he plays as much as he has already,
starts against Oregon and starts on the bowl game of State.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, well then why A you're debating it?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Well, because because there's a lot of people that think
that Will Rogers should start the entire season. So the
difference between my take a month to goal on m
I take now. My take a month ago was I
was asked who gives you a better chance to win?
And my answer was I really don't see a difference.
I have a different answer now, right, I do see
a difference.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's more data. We saw him play almost the entire
half against UCLA. We saw him play the whole half
versus Penn State. Obviously he brings a dynamic than not
a lot of Big ten quarterbacks bring. And that's as
an athlete and as a runner. He's going to be
a unicorn next year when the Big ten starts. If
he gets the ball from day one, which you know,
knock on wood, unless there's some kind of injury or something,
(03:32):
or he gets five million dollars to go play for Michigan,
he's going to start. He's going to make a lot
of money for U DUB next year. I'm hearing that
he's going to make more money than Will Rogers is
making right now at UDB. So that's already in process
to get him paid for next season. Now, if he
goes out and kills it next year and he's going
to have one more year left of eligibility, that's gonna
cost you DUB a lot of money. Well, you'd have
(03:54):
of eligibility, but he might not. He can leave after
one year a going to the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
That's the point.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Three years after high school you can take off. So
every year the Mont Williams stays here and does well,
it's gonna cost the school more money. The difference is
between now and then, there's gonna be a rule that's
gonna get passed where the schools can pay these guys directly.
They'll be able to take it from the athletic department fund.
They're not gonna have to just rely on donations to
(04:19):
futures and you know, bake sales and things like that
and barbecues and pot lucks. So they'll be in a
better situation, but everybody will be in a better situation,
right right, I mean, that's the whole key to this
whole thing. So, unless they put a salary cap on this,
unless they curb spending, if it's a free for all
and college football turns into baseball, for example, is Washington
(04:42):
gonna be able to survive when it comes to the
Oregons and the Ohio States and the Michigans and the
Penn States. Are they gonna be able to go out
and spend the requisite amount of money to feel a
competitive team at a national title level?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Every single I.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Think Washington will be exactly where they've always been.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How do you know that?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Because it's always been a hierarchy it just hasn't been
a financial hierarchy, but it's always been a winning hierarchy
and a coaching hierarchy, and Washington has had a firm
place for one hundred years in that hierarchy, and in
that hierarchy, they have never been at the top, top level.
But whatever that next level is, that's where they've been
and I would imagine that's where they will continue to be.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you're basing your argument based on a certain set
of rules that have now changed. College football has changed dramatically.
I mean, Dick, I'm if nothing had changed and college
football was being run the way it's been run for
one hundred years, I would sit here and agree with
you in a heartbeat, because UDUB has one hundred years
of history on their side. But now it's completely different.
(05:46):
Now it's all about money. Now it's all about teaching players,
which now it's all about paying guys to show up. So
if you're telling me that Washington has the financial chops,
which I hope that we do. If Washington has the
financial chop, if the fans have the wherewithal and the
drive and the motivation to make it happen, then Washington
(06:06):
is gonna be good. But there have been years around
these parts where sometimes I feel like husky fans get.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A little complacent. Yeah, they get a little apathetic.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And that's why I'm so impressed by and you mentioned
this in your a tweet their day about the student section,
how good they looked against UCLA phenomenal. I mean, I
think the crowds have actually been pretty freaking good this year.
At you, dog, There's been a couple of games like
Friday Night, by the way, against UCLA, where I was
a little bit kind of curious as to how bad
or how good the fans would look and the crowd
(06:35):
would look. And I think the fans and the crowds
have actually looked pretty freaking good this year, to be
honest with you, For the amount of weird kickoff times
they've had and night games and new opponents and things
like that, I think the fans have actually showed up
pretty damn good this year because we've seen what it
looks like when they don't absolutely.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
And I just think as we move more into finances,
that just gives Washington a bigger boost because we have
such a huge pool of money. Even if let's say
it's not passionate a pool of money. It's still so
much larger a pool of money that exists within a
thirty mile radius of that that school versus a thirty
mile radius of almost every other school in America. And no,
(07:13):
I don't have delusions of grandeur that Washington is going
to be bigger than Ohio State, than Texas and Michigan.
Then your top seven, eight, nine, ten programs that have
been historically bigger.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't have delusions of grandeur.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
But I do think that you will be able to
distance yourselves because of what I've just talked about from
the other forty five teams in Power four, and you
will submit your spot in that ten to fifteen range
where that's kind of been their sweet spot over the
last forty years.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, I'm just more curious to see how it develops,
you know, I think again, it's a totally brand new day,
and I mean, for me, I'm not going to go
in with this with any assumptions about anything. I'm just
really curious to see how Washington responds. I'm curious to
see how the other schools respond. You know, UCLA, for example,
does ucl even care about football?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Will they be able to survive with that team?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The basketball team in the end is probably going to
be okay, even USC. Like USC's got a buttload of money,
but sometimes they got a hard time spending it.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Sometimes they don't want to spend it down there.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So I'm just really curious, Dick, to see how this
whole thing develops. But I do think that with a
guy like Demon Williams. Right now you're talking about writing
a column based on why DeMont Williams should start, I
think more people are going to be fired up and
intrigued and excited about the Oregon game if DeMont Williams
starts than if Will Rogers starts. And that's just reality.
I mean, look, Will is a phenomenal dude. He's done
(08:41):
everything right right. He's the second all time leading pastor
in the history of the SEC. He knows what it's
like to play in crazy environments. He's proven to be
nothing but a phenomenal teammate since he showed up here.
But as a Husky fan, I'm ready to turn the page.
I'm ready to see what the kids got to offer.
I'm also curious to see how much rope jed Fish
gives Number two if he does start at augstin Stadium,
(09:02):
If he struggles for three or four drives in a row.
Did you say, hey, just work through it. You'll be
a better quarterback for it when it's all said and done.
Or is Jetfish really going down to Austin Stadium in
eleven days from now thinking about one thing and one thing.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Only and that's beating Oregon? And I don't think he is.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't think he is thinking about one thing and
one thing only, because the comments that he's made in
the last month and a half have said otherwise. I
think Jetfish, I've told you on the air, I've told
you off the air, he can't wait to get to
January to get this thing going. And by the way,
you know who is also said he can't wait to
get to January. Jetfish, I think he said it yesterday
(09:41):
at his press conference, almost those exact words. It's unbelievable.
And again I'm not saying he's wrong to do it.
It's just a totally different animal. We're gonna break. John
Gonzano is gonna join us. We got eleven days a
duck hate Baby. We'll start at next with John on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Mud from the R and R Foundation Special Broadcast studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick Gone your Home for
the Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FL.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Eighteen yard line of Oregon Dogs down by four. Snat
tennis to throw, goes for the end zone off the
left sideline.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
You grow up, job side clucksdown Washington the works shoot
up out of the scoreboard.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Lot thirty eight to go and the Huskies take the
lead third and nine.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
If they can take fifteen seconds off the clock, they're
gonna win the ball game.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Toss sweep right, Dylan Johnson cuts up field.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Oh he's gonna go across the thirty five thirty He
slides down to the twenty five.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
The Huskies are gonna win the.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Pack Clumb Championship.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You know, I think that might be. I'm just gonna say, Mike,
because I gotta think about it. My favorite Husky play
of all time is Dylan Johnson's run to beat Oregon
in the back Crop Championship. I mean, Elijah's up there.
There's some plays in some ball games that are up there.
But I gotta I if I'm doing a list of
my all time favorite Husky plays, I think Dylan Johnson's
(11:06):
run is top five for sure.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, I think both those plays we just played top
I have won our bracket last summer.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The miskick by the Ducks in Week six.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But joining us right now on the radio show one
half of the Conzato and Wilner podcast. We got the
other half coming up at five o'clock. The other half
is here with us right now on the radio show.
It's uh, well it's not Duck week, but it's uh
it's Duck fortnite fortnite.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
There you go. Good way to put it. John Gonzano
with us on the here, How are you? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (11:35):
I'm well and you got us in the right order,
Canzano then Wilner, So good for you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah that should change. Let's be honest, really, I mean,
he's kind of the headliner.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It doesn't roll off the tongue though, does it.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
No, it's alphabetically friendly as well. Yeah, you gotta have
the see before the duck.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I mean, we know, to feed your ego, you gotta
go first, and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You know what, Hey, how do you how are you
guys feeling?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Knowing that Tuesday, the Big Ten Conference finally figured out
all the tiebreakers first of going on.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
First of all, we'll ask the questions here. Number one, Okay,
he's a professional interviewer.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We ask and you answer.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And then number two, my question, John, how do you
feel about the Big Ten proclaiming that the Oregon Ducks
have already made the Big Ten championship? I mean, if
I'm Dan Lanning, I'm not sure if I want that
out eleven days before the Husky Game. I'm not saying
that Oregon's not going to be pissed off and salty
after what happened.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But there's a lot of guys on this Oregon team
that were not on that team a year ago, and
now they all just got told, Hey, you've already clinched
a spot if you're landing, did you want that news
to come out?
Speaker 9 (12:42):
I think he doesn't care. I think he'll say he
doesn't care. But here's the other thing. If the Pac
twel had done this back in the day and it
took him two and a half days to figure out
who was in the title game, they would have got roasted.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And let's just say that.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
First of all, Larry Scott would have got roasted, what
he Dixon would have got blamed. But if you're Dan Lanning,
you spin this, you say, hey, look, it's great, they're
worry in the game, but you have to defend against
losing that title game against Ohio State. If you get
beat by Washington, then you lose the title game all
of a sudden. You're not a five seed. You might
be a seven seed. You might be a six seed,
(13:14):
you might be an eight seed. So it's still a
really meaningful game. I love that it's got meaning to it.
But the fact that it took him two and a
half days tells us there's too many teams in this conferences.
The Big twelve's in the same boat, eighteen teams at
a conference. Nobody plays anybody. How do we know who's good?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
John?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
We don't.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
But I mean Saxe and I've talked about this for
years and years with undefeated teams. Doesn't Oregon need a
loss going into the playoffs. I think they got one
last week.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
I think Wisconsin was as close as you they had
been to maybe the Boise State week earlier in the season.
They got a couple of scares. I think it's good
to play in close games. I think it's good to
be reminded that you're not all that, and I think
they got that against Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think they came out of that. I know that
after the Maryland game.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
I texted a little with Dan Lanning and he said
that they didn't play well and he knew that. And
then they didn't play well second week in a row.
Now people are blaming fatigue, saying eight weeks in a row, whatever,
But they may have just maybe they're.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Just not playing their best football. And so here comes
the break at the time they needed.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And you know Washington's got it too, So there's gonna
be no bitching about who had the week off they
get to play Jack.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Nobody's bitching. Oregon had an extra day off last year
and we still got him in Vegas. I mean, what
do you want from me? John Gonzana with us John
who is two years ago bectually three years ago now
two years ago? Sorry, it was Chris Hudson. And then
last year in Seattle it was Terrence Ferguson. Who will
be the most likely candidate to fake an injury for
(14:41):
Dan Lanning in Eugene next Saturday.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
For two the decoordinator probably go out on the field.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Gotta be this time.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Do you think last year Harry, I'm asking questions at
the conference championship game. I thought Washington got better than
Oregon did in between the first meeting. In the second
meeting conference championship game, Washington was more physical, they were
different on offense. They had they had evolved as a
football team. Oregon was the same team. And I remember being.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
On the field.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
I don't know if you were down on the field
before the game, but the Washington guys were all kinds
of fired up and very vocal and jumping around.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
The coaches were vocal, and you know, it was it was.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
It was a scene down on the Oregon side. It
was a library. It was quiet, and I don't normally
make too much of those things, but it ended up being.
That's how the game started. Washington came out through through Haymakers.
Speaker 10 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well that's why I love that game so much.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, I've told these guys, I've never been more
nervous for a Husky game than I was for that one.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
For a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, win the final Pack twelve championship, it's those
bastards from Eugene hold it over their head forever, which
we can do unless you dub An Oregon play in
a quarter final. They will never ever play in a
bigger game than they played last year. And look, I'm
kind of, you know, trying to be a little bit
of an antagonist sometimes on Twitter, you know, and I'm
asking Oregon fans, you know, how much are you bothered
(16:02):
by that? How much of that is going to be
a part of the narrative for next Saturday? That, Hey,
the two biggest games these guys have ever played against
each other. You dub got him both times. How much
does that still piss people off down there?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It does?
Speaker 9 (16:17):
And it's sticking in Dan Lanning's craw too, because it's
not just those two games.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's you know, where are his big wins?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
And you can say, oh, he beat Ohio State, nor
he beat a ranked UCLA team two years ago, but
you know, he lost the Civil War when it mattered
in that first season chance to go to the conference
championship game got knocked out. And then he lost the
game at Washington. I thought Oregon played better and outplayed Washington,
but he made a bunch of weird coaching decisions.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Washington won the game.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Then they meet it again in that conference championship game
and Washington was better. That was good coaching by Kaylen
De Bori's team got better. Dan Lanning's team didn't. And
so it's got to be sticking in his craw and
he's got to be thinking about it. And if there's
a you know, intangible advantage in this game coming up,
it's that it's that there's some pressure on Dan Lanning
that probably doesn't exist in the in the rest of
(17:07):
the world had he won one of those games, but
he hasn't. And you know, and what's that stake now
is big because they lose that one and then they
go to the conference championship game, and they lose the
conference championship game. Let's say, wellho State gets them all
of a sudden, that perfect season is in jeopardy and
they're wobbling a little bit.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Well, John, it's interesting that you say that Washington got
better between the two matchups, because you wouldn't have known
by watching Washington. They barely got by Oregon State, they
barely got by Wazoo. Meanwhile, Dan Lanning was kicking the
crap out of the beafs in the in Arizona State
the two weeks before they get So I have no
idea how Washington got better that day because they look
(17:46):
like crap for the most part the two weeks coming in.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Maybe it was that those two teams, just like Ohio
State and Oregon this year, maybe those two teams knew, Hey,
it's gonna be us in them, it's gonna be us
in them. Oregon seemed to come out of that meeting.
I don't know what you guys think, but they seem
to come out of that first meeting game. They played
angry for a few weeks, right, and Washington kind of
came out and maybe thought, hey we're you know, look
at us, We're in the driver's seat. But they found
(18:09):
way to win, ways to win games. And it reminded
me like Oregon found a way against Wisconsin a week ago.
It reminded me of kind of like the Washington game
against Arizona State last year. That's a good team with
a really good quarterback who just, you know, decided hey,
we're gonna win this game, even if we're gonna win ugly.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I remember everybody, a lot of people, including you, thinking
that Oregon, man, they're a machine. They're just steamrolling people.
They've this is a different team than we saw in
week six, and they're gonna murder you, dub and then
it didn't happen like that. I mean, look, I mean
Vegas agreed with you, for God's sakes, because the dogs
were like what ten point dogs or whatever they were
in that game in Vegas. But John Canzino's with us,
(18:47):
and John I got a buddy of mine who likes
to refer to Dan Lanning as dumb blank Dan.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And you know what the blank is, all right? Rhymes
was sit all right?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So just add the eighths if you know what I'm
talking about, because he's like, we're gonna win because dumb
blank Dan's gonna do something stupid again like he always does.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And I'm watching that Wisconsin game, that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Fake field goal by the way late in the fourth quarter,
I'm thinking, oh.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
My god, he did it again.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
All the time Wisconsin's getting the ball back and all
it takes is one guy to fall down and you know,
maybe give up a touchdown. Can Husky fans rely on
any of that? You think next Saturday or is he
matured because it didn't seem like he did against Wisconsin.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
He did wisconstant a favor, and he did Washington several
favors in that first matchup, right, and I think he
is prone to doing that. He's he is a guy
who is gonna recruit Edgy, He's gonna coach Edgy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
He says he believes in his team and that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
But I step back at twenty thousand feet and I'm going,
how does that?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You know?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
And by the way, if you're gonna do if you're
going for it on fourth down, put the ball in
Dylan Gabriel's hands. Don't put the ball in your punter's
hands and tell him to run five yards for a
first down. I hated the call, and I get why
he did it. He said, Hey, the game ends if
we get the first down. Cool, just snap the ball
and let your quarterback do it. I think Oregon has
got to play this game like, knowing that they are
(20:07):
the favorite.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Play it straight kick, take the points when the points
are there.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
I think Oregon's gonna beat Washington. I think it's you know,
we all expect that they're gonna be a huge They're
a huge favorite in that game. But you can't do
the other side face it favors by trying to on
sidekick or fake punt or fake. Don't act like you're
the double digit underdog. That's what Jedfish should be doing, right.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Ken the Husky's taking a thing scheme wise from what
Wisconsin did defensively, because that's been the strength of Washington
team's Washington's team all year. They have a better defense
this year than they did last year.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
When there's no Tes Johnson on the field, Oregon's not
the same on offense. But the problem I think Washington
has is at the at the line of scrimmage. I
think Oregon is physically imposing. They've run the football well
against teams that you know, look like Washington. I think
there's a little bit of a problem there. But you
want Oregon without tes Johnson. I think at some point
(20:58):
he comes back and he's healthy, but maybe not for
that game. And if you know, if Oregon's smart, they
would hold him out and say, look, we want him
for the conference championship game or we want him for
the playoff. But so I think Washington's hope is not
to see Tedz Johnson on the field because he is
their best receiver. He makes everybody else better on that team.
They're just a better passing team with him on the field,
(21:18):
But Oregon's going to try to run the ball. Anybody
who saw the Iowa game, anybody who saw Washington play
the games where they got beat, knows that you beat
Washington by pushing them around.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
John Gonzano with us on the radio show Oregon, You
dub in eleven days from now? You think it matters
if Demon Williams or Will Rogers place for you, dub.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
I would hate to put a freshman in Austin Stadium
with sixty thousand people screaming for his spleen. And so
I kind of think Jedfish playing this game is more
like he knows he's going to start Rogers and maybe
plays them both. But I don't know, what would you do?
You've watched those guys all year. Could would that be
a problem the environment? Would that be a problem for
(21:56):
a young QB?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Start?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't think so, both of us. Let start number two.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, he's so much better, Then start the better quarterback.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I mean I watched the Apple Cup and it kind
of sealed it from me, and I was like, that's
the best he's got. Like I just wasn't blown away
in the Apple Cup, and I thought, you know, if
that's the best you have in your jed fish, then
it's not gonna be a good season. And and that
hurt Washington all year.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is Jabar Mohammad the trader doing well for Oregon? How's
he's he's still traders in this sea. He's a mercenary.
He's on his third team in three years. John, he's
your guy. When he's your guy, he was not a
he's not a mercenary.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
But I you know, if he has a pick six
and he gives a you know, Washington signal down as
he's running the length of ots and field, then maybe
you call it differently. But I don't blame these guys.
They're just they're they're doing with the world that you know,
they're living in this world that was created by the
NC double A and a bunch of irresponsibility.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I love it. Hey, you're the man.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Great to hear your voice. Uh, we'll talk to the
other half of your podcast. If I know you got
a run, man, appreciate it, and we'll talk down.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
The own body.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
All right, take care, guys, All right, John Gonzano with
us on the radio show. I think the Huskies will
cover the twenty next Saturday. Who's the quarterback? I think
Demon William's gonna start, I would take if you Rogers
was starting, I would take Oregon. Demond the Willading starting
I take.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I would take.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I would take the Huskies in the twenty, no matter
what either one. Let's talk about that. Coming up at
four right now though, it's time for Factor Fiction, brought
to by the Eermeral Queen Casino.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's fact door Fiction, brought
to you by the Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital
of the Northwest. Make the beautiful New EQUC Sports Bookie
your home all football season long. Fact door Fiction is
on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
All right, I will explain myself, by.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
The way, why I'd take the Huskies in the twenty
at four o'clock, no matter who's starting at quarterback, coming
up at four pm. That's a tease, baby driver and going, oh,
I gotta hear that clear my calendar.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I got to hear that at four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Factor Fiction brought to you by the EQCEE. It's Tuesday,
It's Dick Day. What do you got I'm seeing?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Hopefully Jackson's checked this because I told him what I
was gonna take yesterday, So I just make sure it
hasn't been picked yet. Okay, remember what I told you yesterday, Jackson?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
No, where it going?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Well, let's just go with this year. Let's show meeting.
Can you check it? By the way, do you doc
they have the link? I am looking at what's the game?
San Francisco Green Bay?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
It's open, all right, but I'm not looking at the
side in San Francisco Green.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
All right, Oh, that's been taken.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
The Did the forty nine ers offense impress you against
the Seahawks?
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yes? No?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
And now they're all banged up?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Okay, did anything Green Bay did offensively impress you against
the Chicago Bears and they're twenty to nineteen win in
which they needed a block blocked field goal to win
the game. San Francisco in their last two games has
scored twenty three in seventeen. Green Bay in their last
two games against Detroit and Chicago has scored twenty four
(25:07):
and twenty I mean twenty four wins.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
This game.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Who's gonna win I really don't care who wins, because
you could the way you twist your head, you might
think of San Francisco win over Green Bay might help
Seattle more than a green Bay win over San Francisco. Oh,
that's a good question, depending on what happens in the
wild card race. So give me the forty eight and
a half under, okay, with the winner getting the twenty
(25:32):
four in that game.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Forty eight and a half under in the Packers Niners game.
Where's the game at by the way green in Green Bay?
What's the weather like at lambeau Field? Thirty five degrees?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Okay, all right, so not snow, not rainy or so
just all right, crisp. Forty eight and a half.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
We're taking the under in the Niners Packers game on Sunday.
You like it, get text in fact to four nine
four to five one. You hate it, Get text in
fiction to four nine four to five one. All brought
to you by your friends at the Emeral Queen. We
only have I think two more weeks left in the
contest next week and then the week after Thanksgiving, and
we're we're done. So we got we gotta put together
(26:08):
a hell of a run here to make a run
at this thing. And my whole purpose in life now,
to be honest with you, is just finding a way
to escape the cellar. And it's not out of the
question that we could do that. We'll quit pick a
McNee state or whatever it was Louisiana Monroe and I
really thought they would cover. We are five games back
in the win column behind Ferness. We are six games
(26:30):
back behind Greg and eight games back behind Chuck and Bucks.
So I think, you know, just root for Ferness to
fall on his ass and root for this show to
find a way to get out of the cellar.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
We'll quickly mention they don't go off wins, they go
off percentages, and we are at forty four percent. The
next time is at thirty three fifty three point five.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm just telling you that we are still five games
back in the win column. So we got some work
to do, no matter what we we like the under
in the Niners Packers game factor fiction to four nine,
four to five one ill brought to you by your
friends to the Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of
the Pacific Northwest. We're gonna break a little fun with
audio coming up, and then what you dub at minimum
(27:09):
cover against Oregon. I will chat about that at four
o'clock on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
It's now time for someday in Dig's fun with audio,
Jimmy g.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have some fun
with audio.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
In a segment, at least two people have been waiting
for in the audience, maybe three.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
How big is the audience? You think it's four or five?
Six millions?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Do your parents listen? By the way, No, your parents, Linson.
My mom doesn't listen anymore. She has no idea how
to get the radio station.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
My dad loves Ian. By the way, what about us?
What's your dad's name again?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
By the way, Skip, Skip, Hey, Skip, thanks for nothing
up yours Skip. Didn't even know what radio station we
work for at your son's wedding. It's embarrassing that happened.
By the way, were you there for that?
Speaker 7 (28:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
I was not.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I was gone. There's a chance he's listening right now.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I dah sucking Skip all right, Uh, how about a
little fun with audio?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Slash? Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that. What's that? Dick G. O.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Smith joined Richard Sherman's podcast yesterday, were the former Seat
Corner advocated for Gino to get paid by Seattle after
beating the Niners.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
They gotta pay you your money.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
I mean, Daniel Jones just went on the bench getting
forty million dollars and people was arguing about the thirty
million you was getting. Dak just got sixty. I don't
even know why I'm wasting my time asking this question, because.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I know what.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
You gotta earn it, man.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
Like everything I ever got in my life, I earned
whatever guy has to me. Man, I'm willing to go
earn it. And so yeah, I feel like I'm up
there with the top two quarterbacks. My numbers speak for me.
My film says it tude. But the main thing I'm
trying to do is win these next seven games.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Well, I'm gonna speak for you. It's Seattle.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Pay the man is money, you know, so he can
be here for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Do you not get no high draft pick?
Speaker 10 (29:03):
Why he's here because he's playing too well, so you
might as well appreciate him.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Why he here?
Speaker 10 (29:07):
Pay him his money so he can continue to lead
these men they respect him, they love him, paying his money,
and then maybe get him an offensive lineman or tour
in the draft.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
But that's a story for a different day. But I
need to be my agent.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Man.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
We got to talk after this man. We gotta figure
that out. I'm happy to be exposure.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I think he is right about the fact that the
Seahawks aren't going to get that high of a draft
pick because they're never going to suck enough to get
a high draft pick.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But here's my other response to that little argument.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Where is it written that you have to find a
quarterback in the top half of the first round.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I mean, where was Russell Wilson taken?
Speaker 7 (29:38):
What was bon Nicks?
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Bo Knicks was top ten? Yeah, the top ten or
top fifteen. He was definitely top fifteen for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I think you're right. I think he was twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But Russell Wilson was taking seventy fifth overall.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I mean, like, what is this thing?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The only way you find a quarterback is if he's
a top ten pick in the NFL draft. So I
would throw that out. Number one, Number two. I didn't
Gene you know, deserves something. Does he deserve to make
sixty million dollars. No, he's twentieth in QBR right now
in the NFL, he doesn't deserve elite money.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I think he deserves an extension.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I think the number you and I have talked about
is a mediocre, middle of the road forty million dollars
a year, which is probably fine. I think we also
have seven more games left to go before you got
to make a decision on that, so I'm thankful they
have seven more games to go. I also think number
three and I love Richard Sherman, and I don't think
he's unique in this category. I think there's a lot
of ex players and current players out there that when
(30:33):
they talk about other players contracts, really don't give a
damn or care about what it means for the team's
bottom line.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Of course, they just want their buddies to get the bag.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Well, honestly, he went the wrong road and actually used
an argument that hurts Gino Smith because he's using Daniel
jones As and Dak Prescott's as reasons.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
For the Seahawks to pay Geno Smith. Those are two
red flag reasons not to pay Gino Smith.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Because Gino Smith is somewhere in between Danny Jones and
Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
In Talent, Well, his argument would be that he is
better than them, and that he deserves more than they're getting,
or at minimum what they're getting, because better voting Dak Prescott.
I don't think he is better than Dak Prescott. I
think he's better than Daniel Jones. I think a lot
of guys are better than Daniel Jones. Look, I mean
I think the same with brock perty in San Francisco.
These guys are both gonna get new deals. They just
(31:30):
won't get as much as people are thinking they're gonna get.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear I.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Lost my freaking page here. I have no idea where
it is.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Just talk amongst yourselves. What's that?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Dick?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Wazoo? I love this?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Wazoo Head coach Jake Dickert spoken a press conference yesterday
about his feelings regarding the rivalry with Oregon State, who
the Cougars play this weekend.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
How does that change in the last couple of weeks
preparing for some of you guys maybe haven't faced in
a couple of years to now. You know a familiar team,
like you said, new head coach.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Like I don't I've never gotten into the like they're
our buddy. Logan State is not our buddy, right, you
know what I mean? They would have left us as
fast as we would have left them. You know what
I mean, just is what it is. It's it's our
one of our biggest rivals. Now, that's why I've looked
at it and I that's not Boltimore material. I just
hope they would say it the same way. Let's go compete.
We've been waiting to compete with these guys. Their stadium
(32:21):
is gonna be packed, and I think there's gonna be a
lot of coops there, and to have to know that
this is gonna be opponent, that we're gonna play for
a long time, Let's let's go do it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I love that. I love that he said that. As
a Husky fan, I love Jake Dickart, I really do.
I think he's a good coach. I think he's a
good dude, and I think he's dead on and that
there's not one Cougar fan or Beaver fan out there
who's been busting our balls. It would have done the
exact same freaking thing Washington did. And this idea that
Oregon State and Wazoo or like Partners and Arms is
(32:52):
the poor.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
People of Cowege football.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That's ridiculous, man, It's been ridiculous from the start. But
you know what, Look, I personally think that when you
get job the way Cougar fans feel they got job,
you have a right to be a little bit irrational
in your reaction. And the Cougar fans have certainly been,
and Beaver fans irrational.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
I just hope the dickert heads out there are listening
to their head coach because he makes a whole lot
of sense, a lot more sense than all the people
I read on social media the last six months that
says that the Washington Huskies destroyed the PAC ten or
the PAC twelve.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I mean, it's just insanity.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, that's ridiculous. I mean, the whole thing was falling
apart when the LA schools left. But people know that,
and I think they as long as it bothers us
that they bust our balls about it, they're gonna keep
doing it. Trust me, As long as we keep doing
segments like this talking about how stupid it is that
Cougar and Beaver fans think that, guess what, They're gonna
keep doing They're gonna keep thinking that. No, they're gonna
(33:47):
keep saying that. I would feel.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Bothered if I had one ounce of culpability in my body,
Like if I felt like I was literally one percent
responsible for bringing down the PAC twelve, then I might
be bothered by it when they bring it.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
N That's not what I'm saying, though. I'm saying they're
gonna keep doing it. They're gonna keep bringing it up.
It's gonna be their thing. And you know what again,
if I were in their shoes, I'd make it my
thing too.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (34:13):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Hey, Dick? Did you happen to day? What's that?
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
After number eight Georgia beating number Tennessee on Saturday, Bulldogs
head coach Kirby Smart joined ESPN's Laura Rutledge for an
on field interview and sent this shot at the College
Football Playoff Committee.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
In a week when there's been a lot of conversation
about your tough schedule, playing on the road, some of
the struggles that you guys have had, but also some
of the positive moments, what do you think you showed
the committee tonight?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Well?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I don't know, because I don't know what they look for.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
I really don't know what they look for anymore.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
So I would welcome anybody in that committee to come
down to this league can play in this environment.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
It's a tough it's a tough place to play.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So Georgia has played one, two, three, four five games
against current ranked teams and they are three and two
in those games. They beat Tennessee, they beat Texas, and
they beat Clemson early in the year, and they got
a good resume, no question about it. And this is
why this twelve team playoff is gonna be so great,
because whoever's right in that ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen to
(35:12):
fourteen category is gonna be pissed off. They're gonna throw
a fit. This is not gonna be as easy as
people think.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Dick Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
And on the opposite of that is I'm looking at
the Oregon Duck schedule and there are three other legit
tournament teams in the Big Ten, and Oregon's only played
one of them, right, And they had their toughest road
test of the year last week and barely beat Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
A little bit of a preview for next segment on
why I think the Huskies are gonna cover the twenty
you just gave him a little.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Bit of a preview.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
We're gonna break and hit that next on ninety three
to three KJRFM.
Where we go, Chuck Powell, I guess I gotta go
online and read this thing. Check wrote a story for
the website. Finally, somebody around here did something for the website.
At ninety three three kjar dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We post something every day for the website.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Are you kidding me? What do I do in the morning?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Then?
Speaker 5 (00:19):
When I said him for a social di you you
reposted on social you know this.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Let me ask you a question something different.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You're telling me that you're doing something for the radio station,
and you technically have no idea what that's exactly. I
do what Jackson tells me to do. I'm going to
our website here. I'm going to click on the Softian
Dick page. When do you think the Softian Dick page
was updated last? I know this actually ape, let's see.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
Let's look at I know, I know the exact day.
I think the boss is going to be happy that
you're talking about this.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, but I don't care. He's in a meeting.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Actually, technically the web page has been updated because our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Go to our page. Oh there, so it was yesterday.
So yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But the last time somebody did like an actual story,
like sat Down wrote something months six seven months ago,
maybe even a year ago. I may have done something before,
like the Texas game or the Oregon game last year.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
I got noise.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I can tell you that the last thing we posted
was the Maller Millon mock draft from this year, and
then the thing before that, the previous Maller Millon mock
draft from So.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
If we were to write and should hire somebody, if
we were to write an editorial right now, what would
be the topic? What would be the topic that would
that would get us fired up enough to spend thirty minutes?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Nobody does anything for the website that I was being serious,
I don't know. I mean, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Five reasons why the Husky should start?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Demand Williams, Well, do you need five? I got not twenty?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You really need five? I mean, how about just one?
For God's sakes. He's a better player right now than
Will Rogers me. I mean, it's like we said yesterday
with Dick. I mean, you know, Dick's been you know,
uh tooting that horn for the last month, and I
don't think he was ready a month ago.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think he's ready now.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think after playing a full half of football against
Penn State, almost a full have a football against UCLA.
He's been coming in in spot situations in almost every
game has played this year.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think again, you know, we can argue.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I know he was going to talk about this when
he comes on the year on Friday, that maybe Will
Rogers has gotten the short end of this stick. But
in the end, it's all about the team, right, Yes,
it's about the team and if they are setting demon
Williams up for success more so than if he had
sat on the bench the entire year, that I'm all
for it.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I'm totally all for it.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I mean only think he's clearly more prepared for twenty
twenty five if he plays as much as he has already,
starts against Oregon and starts on the bowl game of State.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, well then why A you're debating it?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Well, because because there's a lot of people that think
that Will Rogers should start the entire season. So the
difference between my take a month to goal on m
I take now. My take a month ago was I
was asked who gives you a better chance to win?
And my answer was I really don't see a difference.
I have a different answer now, right, I do see
a difference.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's more data. We saw him play almost the entire
half against UCLA. We saw him play the whole half
versus Penn State. Obviously he brings a dynamic than not
a lot of Big ten quarterbacks bring. And that's as
an athlete and as a runner. He's going to be
a unicorn next year when the Big ten starts. If
he gets the ball from day one, which you know,
knock on wood, unless there's some kind of injury or something,
(03:32):
or he gets five million dollars to go play for Michigan,
he's going to start. He's going to make a lot
of money for U DUB next year. I'm hearing that
he's going to make more money than Will Rogers is
making right now at UDB. So that's already in process
to get him paid for next season. Now, if he
goes out and kills it next year and he's going
to have one more year left of eligibility, that's gonna
cost you DUB a lot of money. Well, you'd have
(03:54):
of eligibility, but he might not. He can leave after
one year a going to the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
That's the point.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Three years after high school you can take off. So
every year the Mont Williams stays here and does well,
it's gonna cost the school more money. The difference is
between now and then, there's gonna be a rule that's
gonna get passed where the schools can pay these guys directly.
They'll be able to take it from the athletic department fund.
They're not gonna have to just rely on donations to
(04:19):
futures and you know, bake sales and things like that
and barbecues and pot lucks. So they'll be in a
better situation, but everybody will be in a better situation,
right right, I mean, that's the whole key to this
whole thing. So, unless they put a salary cap on this,
unless they curb spending, if it's a free for all
and college football turns into baseball, for example, is Washington
(04:42):
gonna be able to survive when it comes to the
Oregons and the Ohio States and the Michigans and the
Penn States. Are they gonna be able to go out
and spend the requisite amount of money to feel a
competitive team at a national title level?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Every single I.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Think Washington will be exactly where they've always been.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How do you know that?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Because it's always been a hierarchy it just hasn't been
a financial hierarchy, but it's always been a winning hierarchy
and a coaching hierarchy, and Washington has had a firm
place for one hundred years in that hierarchy, and in
that hierarchy, they have never been at the top, top level.
But whatever that next level is, that's where they've been
and I would imagine that's where they will continue to be.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you're basing your argument based on a certain set
of rules that have now changed. College football has changed dramatically.
I mean, Dick, I'm if nothing had changed and college
football was being run the way it's been run for
one hundred years, I would sit here and agree with
you in a heartbeat, because UDUB has one hundred years
of history on their side. But now it's completely different.
(05:46):
Now it's all about money. Now it's all about teaching players,
which now it's all about paying guys to show up. So
if you're telling me that Washington has the financial chops,
which I hope that we do. If Washington has the
financial chop, if the fans have the wherewithal and the
drive and the motivation to make it happen, then Washington
(06:06):
is gonna be good. But there have been years around
these parts where sometimes I feel like husky fans get.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A little complacent. Yeah, they get a little apathetic.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And that's why I'm so impressed by and you mentioned
this in your a tweet their day about the student section,
how good they looked against UCLA phenomenal. I mean, I
think the crowds have actually been pretty freaking good this year.
At you, dog, There's been a couple of games like
Friday Night, by the way, against UCLA, where I was
a little bit kind of curious as to how bad
or how good the fans would look and the crowd
(06:35):
would look. And I think the fans and the crowds
have actually looked pretty freaking good this year, to be
honest with you, For the amount of weird kickoff times
they've had and night games and new opponents and things
like that, I think the fans have actually showed up
pretty damn good this year because we've seen what it
looks like when they don't absolutely.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
And I just think as we move more into finances,
that just gives Washington a bigger boost because we have
such a huge pool of money. Even if let's say
it's not passionate a pool of money. It's still so
much larger a pool of money that exists within a
thirty mile radius of that that school versus a thirty
mile radius of almost every other school in America. And no,
(07:13):
I don't have delusions of grandeur that Washington is going
to be bigger than Ohio State, than Texas and Michigan.
Then your top seven, eight, nine, ten programs that have
been historically bigger.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't have delusions of grandeur.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
But I do think that you will be able to
distance yourselves because of what I've just talked about from
the other forty five teams in Power four, and you
will submit your spot in that ten to fifteen range
where that's kind of been their sweet spot over the
last forty years.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, I'm just more curious to see how it develops,
you know, I think again, it's a totally brand new day,
and I mean, for me, I'm not going to go
in with this with any assumptions about anything. I'm just
really curious to see how Washington responds. I'm curious to
see how the other schools respond. You know, UCLA, for example,
does ucl even care about football?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Will they be able to survive with that team?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The basketball team in the end is probably going to
be okay, even USC. Like USC's got a buttload of money,
but sometimes they got a hard time spending it.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Sometimes they don't want to spend it down there.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So I'm just really curious, Dick, to see how this
whole thing develops. But I do think that with a
guy like Demon Williams. Right now you're talking about writing
a column based on why DeMont Williams should start, I
think more people are going to be fired up and
intrigued and excited about the Oregon game if DeMont Williams
starts than if Will Rogers starts. And that's just reality.
I mean, look, Will is a phenomenal dude. He's done
(08:41):
everything right right. He's the second all time leading pastor
in the history of the SEC. He knows what it's
like to play in crazy environments. He's proven to be
nothing but a phenomenal teammate since he showed up here.
But as a Husky fan, I'm ready to turn the page.
I'm ready to see what the kids got to offer.
I'm also curious to see how much rope jed Fish
gives Number two if he does start at augstin Stadium,
(09:02):
If he struggles for three or four drives in a row.
Did you say, hey, just work through it. You'll be
a better quarterback for it when it's all said and done.
Or is Jetfish really going down to Austin Stadium in
eleven days from now thinking about one thing and one thing.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Only and that's beating Oregon? And I don't think he is.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't think he is thinking about one thing and
one thing only, because the comments that he's made in
the last month and a half have said otherwise. I
think Jetfish, I've told you on the air, I've told
you off the air, he can't wait to get to
January to get this thing going. And by the way,
you know who is also said he can't wait to
get to January. Jetfish, I think he said it yesterday
(09:41):
at his press conference, almost those exact words. It's unbelievable.
And again I'm not saying he's wrong to do it.
It's just a totally different animal. We're gonna break. John
Gonzano is gonna join us. We got eleven days a
duck hate Baby. We'll start at next with John on
ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Mud from the R and R Foundation Special Broadcast studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick Gone your Home for
the Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FL.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Eighteen yard line of Oregon Dogs down by four. Snat
tennis to throw, goes for the end zone off the
left sideline.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
You grow up, job side clucksdown Washington the works shoot
up out of the scoreboard.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Lot thirty eight to go and the Huskies take the
lead third and nine.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
If they can take fifteen seconds off the clock, they're
gonna win the ball game.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Toss sweep right, Dylan Johnson cuts up field.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Oh he's gonna go across the thirty five thirty He
slides down to the twenty five.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
The Huskies are gonna win the.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Pack Clumb Championship.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You know, I think that might be. I'm just gonna say, Mike,
because I gotta think about it. My favorite Husky play
of all time is Dylan Johnson's run to beat Oregon
in the back Crop Championship. I mean, Elijah's up there.
There's some plays in some ball games that are up there.
But I gotta I if I'm doing a list of
my all time favorite Husky plays, I think Dylan Johnson's
(11:06):
run is top five for sure.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, I think both those plays we just played top
I have won our bracket last summer.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The miskick by the Ducks in Week six.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But joining us right now on the radio show one
half of the Conzato and Wilner podcast. We got the
other half coming up at five o'clock. The other half
is here with us right now on the radio show.
It's uh, well it's not Duck week, but it's uh
it's Duck fortnite fortnite.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
There you go. Good way to put it. John Gonzano
with us on the here, How are you? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (11:35):
I'm well and you got us in the right order,
Canzano then Wilner, So good for you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah that should change. Let's be honest, really, I mean,
he's kind of the headliner.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It doesn't roll off the tongue though, does it.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
No, it's alphabetically friendly as well. Yeah, you gotta have
the see before the duck.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I mean, we know, to feed your ego, you gotta
go first, and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You know what, Hey, how do you how are you
guys feeling?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Knowing that Tuesday, the Big Ten Conference finally figured out
all the tiebreakers first of going on.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
First of all, we'll ask the questions here. Number one, Okay,
he's a professional interviewer.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We ask and you answer.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And then number two, my question, John, how do you
feel about the Big Ten proclaiming that the Oregon Ducks
have already made the Big Ten championship? I mean, if
I'm Dan Lanning, I'm not sure if I want that
out eleven days before the Husky Game. I'm not saying
that Oregon's not going to be pissed off and salty
after what happened.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But there's a lot of guys on this Oregon team
that were not on that team a year ago, and
now they all just got told, Hey, you've already clinched
a spot if you're landing, did you want that news
to come out?
Speaker 9 (12:42):
I think he doesn't care. I think he'll say he
doesn't care. But here's the other thing. If the Pac
twel had done this back in the day and it
took him two and a half days to figure out
who was in the title game, they would have got roasted.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And let's just say that.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
First of all, Larry Scott would have got roasted, what
he Dixon would have got blamed. But if you're Dan Lanning,
you spin this, you say, hey, look, it's great, they're
worry in the game, but you have to defend against
losing that title game against Ohio State. If you get
beat by Washington, then you lose the title game all
of a sudden. You're not a five seed. You might
be a seven seed. You might be a six seed,
(13:14):
you might be an eight seed. So it's still a
really meaningful game. I love that it's got meaning to it.
But the fact that it took him two and a
half days tells us there's too many teams in this conferences.
The Big twelve's in the same boat, eighteen teams at
a conference. Nobody plays anybody. How do we know who's good?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
John?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
We don't.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
But I mean Saxe and I've talked about this for
years and years with undefeated teams. Doesn't Oregon need a
loss going into the playoffs. I think they got one
last week.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
I think Wisconsin was as close as you they had
been to maybe the Boise State week earlier in the season.
They got a couple of scares. I think it's good
to play in close games. I think it's good to
be reminded that you're not all that, and I think
they got that against Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think they came out of that. I know that
after the Maryland game.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
I texted a little with Dan Lanning and he said
that they didn't play well and he knew that. And
then they didn't play well second week in a row.
Now people are blaming fatigue, saying eight weeks in a row, whatever,
But they may have just maybe they're.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Just not playing their best football. And so here comes
the break at the time they needed.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And you know Washington's got it too, So there's gonna
be no bitching about who had the week off they
get to play Jack.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Nobody's bitching. Oregon had an extra day off last year
and we still got him in Vegas. I mean, what
do you want from me? John Gonzana with us John
who is two years ago bectually three years ago now
two years ago? Sorry, it was Chris Hudson. And then
last year in Seattle it was Terrence Ferguson. Who will
be the most likely candidate to fake an injury for
(14:41):
Dan Lanning in Eugene next Saturday.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
For two the decoordinator probably go out on the field.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Gotta be this time.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Do you think last year Harry, I'm asking questions at
the conference championship game. I thought Washington got better than
Oregon did in between the first meeting. In the second
meeting conference championship game, Washington was more physical, they were
different on offense. They had they had evolved as a
football team. Oregon was the same team. And I remember being.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
On the field.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
I don't know if you were down on the field
before the game, but the Washington guys were all kinds
of fired up and very vocal and jumping around.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
The coaches were vocal, and you know, it was it was.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
It was a scene down on the Oregon side. It
was a library. It was quiet, and I don't normally
make too much of those things, but it ended up being.
That's how the game started. Washington came out through through Haymakers.
Speaker 10 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well that's why I love that game so much.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, I've told these guys, I've never been more
nervous for a Husky game than I was for that one.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
For a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, win the final Pack twelve championship, it's those
bastards from Eugene hold it over their head forever, which
we can do unless you dub An Oregon play in
a quarter final. They will never ever play in a
bigger game than they played last year. And look, I'm
kind of, you know, trying to be a little bit
of an antagonist sometimes on Twitter, you know, and I'm
asking Oregon fans, you know, how much are you bothered
(16:02):
by that? How much of that is going to be
a part of the narrative for next Saturday? That, Hey,
the two biggest games these guys have ever played against
each other. You dub got him both times. How much
does that still piss people off down there?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It does?
Speaker 9 (16:17):
And it's sticking in Dan Lanning's craw too, because it's
not just those two games.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's you know, where are his big wins?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
And you can say, oh, he beat Ohio State, nor
he beat a ranked UCLA team two years ago, but
you know, he lost the Civil War when it mattered
in that first season chance to go to the conference
championship game got knocked out. And then he lost the
game at Washington. I thought Oregon played better and outplayed Washington,
but he made a bunch of weird coaching decisions.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Washington won the game.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Then they meet it again in that conference championship game
and Washington was better. That was good coaching by Kaylen
De Bori's team got better. Dan Lanning's team didn't. And
so it's got to be sticking in his craw and
he's got to be thinking about it. And if there's
a you know, intangible advantage in this game coming up,
it's that it's that there's some pressure on Dan Lanning
that probably doesn't exist in the in the rest of
(17:07):
the world had he won one of those games, but
he hasn't. And you know, and what's that stake now
is big because they lose that one and then they
go to the conference championship game, and they lose the
conference championship game. Let's say, wellho State gets them all
of a sudden, that perfect season is in jeopardy and
they're wobbling a little bit.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Well, John, it's interesting that you say that Washington got
better between the two matchups, because you wouldn't have known
by watching Washington. They barely got by Oregon State, they
barely got by Wazoo. Meanwhile, Dan Lanning was kicking the
crap out of the beafs in the in Arizona State
the two weeks before they get So I have no
idea how Washington got better that day because they look
(17:46):
like crap for the most part the two weeks coming in.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Maybe it was that those two teams, just like Ohio
State and Oregon this year, maybe those two teams knew, Hey,
it's gonna be us in them, it's gonna be us
in them. Oregon seemed to come out of that meeting.
I don't know what you guys think, but they seem
to come out of that first meeting game. They played
angry for a few weeks, right, and Washington kind of
came out and maybe thought, hey we're you know, look
at us, We're in the driver's seat. But they found
(18:09):
way to win, ways to win games. And it reminded
me like Oregon found a way against Wisconsin a week ago.
It reminded me of kind of like the Washington game
against Arizona State last year. That's a good team with
a really good quarterback who just, you know, decided hey,
we're gonna win this game, even if we're gonna win ugly.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I remember everybody, a lot of people, including you, thinking
that Oregon, man, they're a machine. They're just steamrolling people.
They've this is a different team than we saw in
week six, and they're gonna murder you, dub and then
it didn't happen like that. I mean, look, I mean
Vegas agreed with you, for God's sakes, because the dogs
were like what ten point dogs or whatever they were
in that game in Vegas. But John Canzino's with us,
(18:47):
and John I got a buddy of mine who likes
to refer to Dan Lanning as dumb blank Dan.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And you know what the blank is, all right? Rhymes
was sit all right?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So just add the eighths if you know what I'm
talking about, because he's like, we're gonna win because dumb
blank Dan's gonna do something stupid again like he always does.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And I'm watching that Wisconsin game, that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Fake field goal by the way late in the fourth quarter,
I'm thinking, oh.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
My god, he did it again.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
All the time Wisconsin's getting the ball back and all
it takes is one guy to fall down and you know,
maybe give up a touchdown. Can Husky fans rely on
any of that? You think next Saturday or is he
matured because it didn't seem like he did against Wisconsin.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
He did wisconstant a favor, and he did Washington several
favors in that first matchup, right, and I think he
is prone to doing that. He's he is a guy
who is gonna recruit Edgy, He's gonna coach Edgy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
He says he believes in his team and that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
But I step back at twenty thousand feet and I'm going,
how does that?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You know?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
And by the way, if you're gonna do if you're
going for it on fourth down, put the ball in
Dylan Gabriel's hands. Don't put the ball in your punter's
hands and tell him to run five yards for a
first down. I hated the call, and I get why
he did it. He said, Hey, the game ends if
we get the first down. Cool, just snap the ball
and let your quarterback do it. I think Oregon has
got to play this game like, knowing that they are
(20:07):
the favorite.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Play it straight kick, take the points when the points
are there.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
I think Oregon's gonna beat Washington. I think it's you know,
we all expect that they're gonna be a huge They're
a huge favorite in that game. But you can't do
the other side face it favors by trying to on
sidekick or fake punt or fake. Don't act like you're
the double digit underdog. That's what Jedfish should be doing, right.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Ken the Husky's taking a thing scheme wise from what
Wisconsin did defensively, because that's been the strength of Washington
team's Washington's team all year. They have a better defense
this year than they did last year.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
When there's no Tes Johnson on the field, Oregon's not
the same on offense. But the problem I think Washington
has is at the at the line of scrimmage. I
think Oregon is physically imposing. They've run the football well
against teams that you know, look like Washington. I think
there's a little bit of a problem there. But you
want Oregon without tes Johnson. I think at some point
(20:58):
he comes back and he's healthy, but maybe not for
that game. And if you know, if Oregon's smart, they
would hold him out and say, look, we want him
for the conference championship game or we want him for
the playoff. But so I think Washington's hope is not
to see Tedz Johnson on the field because he is
their best receiver. He makes everybody else better on that team.
They're just a better passing team with him on the field,
(21:18):
But Oregon's going to try to run the ball. Anybody
who saw the Iowa game, anybody who saw Washington play
the games where they got beat, knows that you beat
Washington by pushing them around.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
John Gonzano with us on the radio show Oregon, You
dub in eleven days from now? You think it matters
if Demon Williams or Will Rogers place for you, dub.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
I would hate to put a freshman in Austin Stadium
with sixty thousand people screaming for his spleen. And so
I kind of think Jedfish playing this game is more
like he knows he's going to start Rogers and maybe
plays them both. But I don't know, what would you do?
You've watched those guys all year. Could would that be
a problem the environment? Would that be a problem for
(21:56):
a young QB?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Start?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't think so, both of us. Let start number two.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, he's so much better, Then start the better quarterback.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I mean I watched the Apple Cup and it kind
of sealed it from me, and I was like, that's
the best he's got. Like I just wasn't blown away
in the Apple Cup, and I thought, you know, if
that's the best you have in your jed fish, then
it's not gonna be a good season. And and that
hurt Washington all year.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is Jabar Mohammad the trader doing well for Oregon? How's
he's he's still traders in this sea. He's a mercenary.
He's on his third team in three years. John, he's
your guy. When he's your guy, he was not a
he's not a mercenary.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
But I you know, if he has a pick six
and he gives a you know, Washington signal down as
he's running the length of ots and field, then maybe
you call it differently. But I don't blame these guys.
They're just they're they're doing with the world that you know,
they're living in this world that was created by the
NC double A and a bunch of irresponsibility.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I love it. Hey, you're the man.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Great to hear your voice. Uh, we'll talk to the
other half of your podcast. If I know you got
a run, man, appreciate it, and we'll talk down.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
The own body.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
All right, take care, guys, All right, John Gonzano with
us on the radio show. I think the Huskies will
cover the twenty next Saturday. Who's the quarterback? I think
Demon William's gonna start, I would take if you Rogers
was starting, I would take Oregon. Demond the Willading starting
I take.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I would take.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I would take the Huskies in the twenty, no matter
what either one. Let's talk about that. Coming up at
four right now though, it's time for Factor Fiction, brought
to by the Eermeral Queen Casino.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Where's that to go?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the

Speaker 3 (23:51):
All right, I will explain myself, by.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
The way, why I'd take the Huskies in the twenty
at four o'clock, no matter who's starting at quarterback, coming
up at four pm. That's a tease, baby driver and going, oh,
I gotta hear that clear my calendar.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I got to hear that at four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Factor Fiction brought to you by the EQCEE. It's Tuesday,
It's Dick Day. What do you got I'm seeing?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Hopefully Jackson's checked this because I told him what I
was gonna take yesterday, So I just make sure it
hasn't been picked yet. Okay, remember what I told you yesterday, Jackson?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
No, where it going?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
All right?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Well, let's just go with this year. Let's show meeting.
Can you check it? By the way, do you doc
they have the link? I am looking at what's the game?
San Francisco Green Bay?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
It's open, all right, but I'm not looking at the
side in San Francisco Green.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
All right, Oh, that's been taken.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
The Did the forty nine ers offense impress you against
the Seahawks?
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yes? No?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
And now they're all banged up?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Okay, did anything Green Bay did offensively impress you against
the Chicago Bears and they're twenty to nineteen win in
which they needed a block blocked field goal to win
the game. San Francisco in their last two games has
scored twenty three in seventeen. Green Bay in their last
two games against Detroit and Chicago has scored twenty four
(25:07):
and twenty I mean twenty four wins.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
This game.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Who's gonna win I really don't care who wins, because
you could the way you twist your head, you might
think of San Francisco win over Green Bay might help
Seattle more than a green Bay win over San Francisco. Oh,
that's a good question, depending on what happens in the
wild card race. So give me the forty eight and
a half under, okay, with the winner getting the twenty
(25:32):
four in that game.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Forty eight and a half under in the Packers Niners game.
Where's the game at by the way green in Green Bay?
What's the weather like at lambeau Field? Thirty five degrees?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Okay, all right, so not snow, not rainy or so
just all right, crisp. Forty eight and a half.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
We're taking the under in the Niners Packers game on Sunday.
You like it, get text in fact to four nine
four to five one. You hate it, Get text in
fiction to four nine four to five one. All brought
to you by your friends at the Emeral Queen. We
only have I think two more weeks left in the
contest next week and then the week after Thanksgiving, and
we're we're done. So we got we gotta put together
(26:08):
a hell of a run here to make a run
at this thing. And my whole purpose in life now,
to be honest with you, is just finding a way
to escape the cellar. And it's not out of the
question that we could do that. We'll quit pick a
McNee state or whatever it was Louisiana Monroe and I
really thought they would cover. We are five games back
in the win column behind Ferness. We are six games
(26:30):
back behind Greg and eight games back behind Chuck and Bucks.
So I think, you know, just root for Ferness to
fall on his ass and root for this show to
find a way to get out of the cellar.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
We'll quickly mention they don't go off wins, they go
off percentages, and we are at forty four percent. The
next time is at thirty three fifty three point five.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm just telling you that we are still five games
back in the win column. So we got some work
to do, no matter what we we like the under
in the Niners Packers game factor fiction to four nine,
four to five one ill brought to you by your
friends to the Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of
the Pacific Northwest. We're gonna break a little fun with
audio coming up, and then what you dub at minimum
(27:09):
cover against Oregon. I will chat about that at four
o'clock on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
It's now time for someday in Dig's fun with audio,
Jimmy g.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Porn star, Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have some fun
with audio.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
In a segment, at least two people have been waiting
for in the audience, maybe three.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
How big is the audience? You think it's four or five?
Six millions?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Do your parents listen? By the way, No, your parents, Linson.
My mom doesn't listen anymore. She has no idea how
to get the radio station.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
My dad loves Ian. By the way, what about us?
What's your dad's name again?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
By the way, Skip, Skip, Hey, Skip, thanks for nothing
up yours Skip. Didn't even know what radio station we
work for at your son's wedding. It's embarrassing that happened.
By the way, were you there for that?
Speaker 7 (28:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (28:03):
I was not.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I was gone. There's a chance he's listening right now.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I dah sucking Skip all right, Uh, how about a
little fun with audio?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Slash? Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that. What's that? Dick G. O.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Smith joined Richard Sherman's podcast yesterday, were the former Seat
Corner advocated for Gino to get paid by Seattle after
beating the Niners.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
They gotta pay you your money.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
I mean, Daniel Jones just went on the bench getting
forty million dollars and people was arguing about the thirty
million you was getting. Dak just got sixty. I don't
even know why I'm wasting my time asking this question, because.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I know what.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
You gotta earn it, man.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
Like everything I ever got in my life, I earned
whatever guy has to me. Man, I'm willing to go
earn it. And so yeah, I feel like I'm up
there with the top two quarterbacks. My numbers speak for me.
My film says it tude. But the main thing I'm
trying to do is win these next seven games.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Well, I'm gonna speak for you. It's Seattle.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Pay the man is money, you know, so he can
be here for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Do you not get no high draft pick?
Speaker 10 (29:03):
Why he's here because he's playing too well, so you
might as well appreciate him.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Why he here?
Speaker 10 (29:07):
Pay him his money so he can continue to lead
these men they respect him, they love him, paying his money,
and then maybe get him an offensive lineman or tour
in the draft.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
But that's a story for a different day. But I
need to be my agent.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Man.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
We got to talk after this man. We gotta figure
that out. I'm happy to be exposure.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I think he is right about the fact that the
Seahawks aren't going to get that high of a draft
pick because they're never going to suck enough to get
a high draft pick.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But here's my other response to that little argument.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Where is it written that you have to find a
quarterback in the top half of the first round.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I mean, where was Russell Wilson taken?
Speaker 7 (29:38):
What was bon Nicks?
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Bo Knicks was top ten? Yeah, the top ten or
top fifteen. He was definitely top fifteen for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I think you're right. I think he was twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But Russell Wilson was taking seventy fifth overall.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I mean, like, what is this thing?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
The only way you find a quarterback is if he's
a top ten pick in the NFL draft. So I
would throw that out. Number one, Number two. I didn't
Gene you know, deserves something. Does he deserve to make
sixty million dollars. No, he's twentieth in QBR right now
in the NFL, he doesn't deserve elite money.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I think he deserves an extension.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I think the number you and I have talked about
is a mediocre, middle of the road forty million dollars
a year, which is probably fine. I think we also
have seven more games left to go before you got
to make a decision on that, so I'm thankful they
have seven more games to go. I also think number
three and I love Richard Sherman, and I don't think
he's unique in this category. I think there's a lot
of ex players and current players out there that when
(30:33):
they talk about other players contracts, really don't give a
damn or care about what it means for the team's
bottom line.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Of course, they just want their buddies to get the bag.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Well, honestly, he went the wrong road and actually used
an argument that hurts Gino Smith because he's using Daniel
jones As and Dak Prescott's as reasons.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
For the Seahawks to pay Geno Smith. Those are two
red flag reasons not to pay Gino Smith.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Because Gino Smith is somewhere in between Danny Jones and
Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
In Talent, Well, his argument would be that he is
better than them, and that he deserves more than they're getting,
or at minimum what they're getting, because better voting Dak Prescott.
I don't think he is better than Dak Prescott. I
think he's better than Daniel Jones. I think a lot
of guys are better than Daniel Jones. Look, I mean
I think the same with brock perty in San Francisco.
These guys are both gonna get new deals. They just
(31:30):
won't get as much as people are thinking they're gonna get.
All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear I.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Lost my freaking page here. I have no idea where
it is.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Just talk amongst yourselves. What's that?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Dick?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Wazoo? I love this?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Wazoo Head coach Jake Dickert spoken a press conference yesterday
about his feelings regarding the rivalry with Oregon State, who
the Cougars play this weekend.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
How does that change in the last couple of weeks
preparing for some of you guys maybe haven't faced in
a couple of years to now. You know a familiar team,
like you said, new head coach.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Like I don't I've never gotten into the like they're
our buddy. Logan State is not our buddy, right, you
know what I mean? They would have left us as
fast as we would have left them. You know what
I mean, just is what it is. It's it's our
one of our biggest rivals. Now, that's why I've looked
at it and I that's not Boltimore material. I just
hope they would say it the same way. Let's go compete.
We've been waiting to compete with these guys. Their stadium
(32:21):
is gonna be packed, and I think there's gonna be a
lot of coops there, and to have to know that
this is gonna be opponent, that we're gonna play for
a long time, Let's let's go do it.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I love that. I love that he said that. As
a Husky fan, I love Jake Dickart, I really do.
I think he's a good coach. I think he's a
good dude, and I think he's dead on and that
there's not one Cougar fan or Beaver fan out there
who's been busting our balls. It would have done the
exact same freaking thing Washington did. And this idea that
Oregon State and Wazoo or like Partners and Arms is
(32:52):
the poor.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
People of Cowege football.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
That's ridiculous, man, It's been ridiculous from the start. But
you know what, Look, I personally think that when you
get job the way Cougar fans feel they got job,
you have a right to be a little bit irrational
in your reaction. And the Cougar fans have certainly been,
and Beaver fans irrational.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
I just hope the dickert heads out there are listening
to their head coach because he makes a whole lot
of sense, a lot more sense than all the people
I read on social media the last six months that
says that the Washington Huskies destroyed the PAC ten or
the PAC twelve.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I mean, it's just insanity.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, that's ridiculous. I mean, the whole thing was falling
apart when the LA schools left. But people know that,
and I think they as long as it bothers us
that they bust our balls about it, they're gonna keep
doing it. Trust me, As long as we keep doing
segments like this talking about how stupid it is that
Cougar and Beaver fans think that, guess what, They're gonna
keep doing They're gonna keep thinking that. No, they're gonna
(33:47):
keep saying that. I would feel.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Bothered if I had one ounce of culpability in my body,
Like if I felt like I was literally one percent
responsible for bringing down the PAC twelve, then I might
be bothered by it when they bring it.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
N That's not what I'm saying, though. I'm saying they're
gonna keep doing it. They're gonna keep bringing it up.
It's gonna be their thing. And you know what again,
if I were in their shoes, I'd make it my
thing too.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (34:13):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Hey, Dick? Did you happen to day? What's that?
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Dick?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
After number eight Georgia beating number Tennessee on Saturday, Bulldogs
head coach Kirby Smart joined ESPN's Laura Rutledge for an
on field interview and sent this shot at the College
Football Playoff Committee.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
In a week when there's been a lot of conversation
about your tough schedule, playing on the road, some of
the struggles that you guys have had, but also some
of the positive moments, what do you think you showed
the committee tonight?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Well?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I don't know, because I don't know what they look for.
Speaker 7 (34:42):
I really don't know what they look for anymore.
Speaker 11 (34:44):
So I would welcome anybody in that committee to come
down to this league can play in this environment.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
It's a tough it's a tough place to play.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
So Georgia has played one, two, three, four five games
against current ranked teams and they are three and two
in those games. They beat Tennessee, they beat Texas, and
they beat Clemson early in the year, and they got
a good resume, no question about it. And this is
why this twelve team playoff is gonna be so great,
because whoever's right in that ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen to
(35:12):
fourteen category is gonna be pissed off. They're gonna throw
a fit. This is not gonna be as easy as
people think.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Dick Yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
And on the opposite of that is I'm looking at
the Oregon Duck schedule and there are three other legit
tournament teams in the Big Ten, and Oregon's only played
one of them, right, And they had their toughest road
test of the year last week and barely beat Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
A little bit of a preview for next segment on
why I think the Huskies are gonna cover the twenty
you just gave him a little.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Bit of a preview.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
We're gonna break and hit that next on ninety three
to three KJRFM.
