which is really kind of fun, always to kind of
pick the golf balls you out you want. This is
it's again for a golfer, sensory overload. It's everywhere you

(01:33):
walk around, you get stuff, you get swag. It's fun.
We'll be here till three o'clock today. They're opening until
five pm today, five pm Saturday, four pm on Sunday.
Salele Golf Show presented by a Stollquam Casino and Hotel.
Of course, that's what our show is presented by as well.
We got a big show coming up today, Daniel and
Neil is going to join us in just a few minutes.
Lots to get to our weekly visit with Danny from

(01:54):
the Daily Apostrophy. We'll kind of wrap up Seahawks Free Agency,
then we'll get into the WBC with him a little bit,
see what else is on the agenda. Never know where
the conversation with Danny's gonna take us, So that's coming
up here at one twenty this afternoon, and then our
guy Gary Parrish will join us today at two pm.
We are March Madness Eve and I didn't get this
in the headlines but I should. We will have the

(02:16):
selection show for you Sunday here on ninety three point
three KJRFM. So Selection show coming up on Sunday, so
make sure you tune in for that as well as
of course we have the games for you. Now here's
how it works. On Tuesday Wednesday playing games will be
on the nine to fifty am dial, and then starting

(02:36):
on Thursday, unless there's a conflict with the Kraken, we
will have games on basically nine am until they're done
about ten o'clock at night. And that's one of the
cool things about our radio station, which I've loved forever,
is the fact that we have all these games on,
so come on by, I mean listen. Not everyone gets
those two days off or whole week. Juman a day

(02:59):
I took my.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Vay when we already had two days off.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's a smart move on your part because you only
end up taking three days. A veteran move on your part. Anyway,
we're even like like me, I I'll be driving around.
We have Cracking game on Thursday after noon Thursday, I
guess like five, So like you're in the car, you're
going to work, you need to keep up on your bracket.
Whatever you're doing, just make sure you tune into KJR

(03:21):
because one of the like I said, one of the
cool things is that we have those games on our station.
And Friday there's no cracking conflicts. Saturday Cracking game fairly early,
so we'll have early games, later games, and then Sunday
all day March madness in the round of thirty two
into the sweet sixteen lead eight and of course you're
home for the final four is right here in ninety
three point three KJFM. So yeah, we're excited. Man, it's

(03:42):
a great time of the year. Love the fact we
have this relationship with Westwood One and we have the
games for you so you can tune in as your
cruising out and about all around the area in case
you have to do a little bit of work on
those first two days of March madness. Okay, so we
got that going on. Cracking losing last night, We'll get
to some daily power at Lane Lambert sideways last night,

(04:05):
and I like it. I like a pissed off coach.
I don't think we ever saw that enough at all
from Dan Bilesman, and we probably saw it too much
from Dave Haxtall. And that's why the coaching change was made.
If people think that there's a coaching issue or anything
like that, that's not the case. This is a player issue,
and this is a gut check issue. And you'll hear
Lane basically say that coming up at one forty five.

(04:27):
I like accountability. I like a coach in pro sports
that calls guys out. There's a culture issue here, and
it probably starts with guys that have been here for
a long time, and and Lane went right after him
last night. They've got to win tomorrow. If they don't
win in Vancouver. I it's I mean, I think we're
I heard on the post game show last night with
Mikey and Anders they were talking about and they're taking

(04:50):
text and somebody use the term. I think this is
from a few good men. Just code red? Is the
code red?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Did you want?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah? I think we're in a code red right now.
I think this is a code red. I think it's
like like if you go like through the warning signals,
you know, like with viruses and things like that, we're
in a red zone. This is this is a coderette.
So you gotta win to more night, absolutely for sure.
When Danny joins us in a second, we're gonna we're
gonna wrap up the week of free agency, and I'll

(05:17):
just start with this on my and I just kind
of jotted some things down today. It'll wanted to hit on.
I really the hardest thing in sports these days is
losing players that you're attached to and feeling like your
team is taking a step back.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
You know what's funny.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I like to always like revisit this, but my conversation
with Ernest Jones in the locker room that you've just
won the Super Bowl and he was sad.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, because you don't retain over. You don't retain one
hundred percent of what you have. And you know, it
used to be in college sports that you just rolled
guys over every year. It would it be like, you're
a freshman, you're gonna be back for three more years.
You're a sophomore, you've got two more years after this, junior, senior, etc.
Maybe red shirts you've got five years. Right. That isn't
the case anymore in college at all. It's one of

(06:10):
the things I kind of hate about college sports now.
And listen, not the time or placed to debate whether
or not players should have one hundred percent freedom and
free agency and all those types of things and all that.
But here's the thing with what we're looking at these days.
In pro sports, you're always going to have that attrition
because free agency does exist, a draft exists where you

(06:33):
bring in new players, you have a roster limit, so
you lose guys. Super Bowl teams, retention rates really challenging sometimes,
and we saw that obviously in twenty and thirteen, even
in twenty fourteen. Retention's hard. Players have success. Players are
valued higher because they played on that particular team. I

(06:54):
have reference it all the time, every backup player in
the Seahawks secondary for those Super Bowl teams ended up
getting paid it felt like somewhere else a lot of
money and probably frankly, more than they were worth. And
the Seahawks didn't keep those guys in the super Bowl
tax yeah, I use super Bowl taxs, and you lose
great depth along the way with when you lose those
types of guys. That's just part of that's part of
the price you pay to win the Super Bowl. That's fine,

(07:15):
that's part of it. But I think you know, when
Cormyn brought up the number of snaps that they retain,
you know, guys that had seven hundred more snaps, I
think as a stat of used yesterday. It's in his story,
you can go read it Animal City Spectrum. But they
retained more than a lot of Super Bowl teams do,
and they did a pretty good job. I for one
not thrilled that they don't have Ken Walker. And that

(07:38):
isn't a Johnny cum Lately. There's a lot of you
Johnny cum Lately ken Walker fans. There's a lot of
you guys out there. You look in the mirror, come on, now,
you know who you are. You were down on ken
Walker when when myself Rob rang No actually robs. Rob's
one of those guys. Rob's one of those anti ken
Walker guys. He loved him when Cosell and Hugh and

(07:58):
me and other I think anderws would go into that category,
probably because he have another fantasy team or something. Yeah, yeah,
but we all like ken Walker. I don't want to
lose ken Walker. Understand why they did. I understand the
trepidation that John Schneider has. I think we're a better
football team in Seattle with ken Walker's here, but it

(08:19):
probably was never gonna happen. They retain eleven or ten
of eleven starters on offense, it's pretty damn good, Like
that's really good with no and you're gonna extend JSN.
Rashid Shihat is kind of like adding half a player
because you only had him for half a season. He
just never really got acculated that offense, We're good. Uh,
you made decisions job over Woollen. Fine. I don't think

(08:42):
many people really have a hard hard time with that,
right because Wolan was kind of such a polarizing figure.
And then listen, Kobe Bryant's the other guy. I get
Tayo Katta, great story. Kobe Bryant's a better football player
period into story. Couldn't afford to keep him for whatever reason.
And we don't know. And I've always brought this up.
I'll get to a breaking or sex. Yes, sorry, we
don't know. We don't know what the budget constraints are

(09:06):
with a football team. Everyone knows the salary cap. Everybody
goes to spoke track or whatever the websites are. Here's
what they got to spend. That's fine, that's what they
have to spend. We don't know what the discussions they
have had with the agents for JS and Devin Witherspoon
or others, Sam Donald's agents, whoever might be. We don't
know what the true budget is. So I would just
caution people with that, we don't know what the behind

(09:27):
the scenes true money they have available is what they
have available in terms of X number of dollars under
the cap is not what they really have because they
know what they get they need this year, next year,
et cetera, whether it's draft trades, free agency, extending contracts,
et cetera. So I'm gonna do what I said earlier
this week. It's very very poor sports radio with my

(09:48):
apologies in John and in Mike, I trust, and I
think that would be my tail tomost. Everybody trust these guys.
They know what the hell they're doing. If they prove otherwise,
then have a different conversation. Dannie O'Neil joins us. Coming
up next.

Speaker 1 (10:11):

Speaker 2 (10:39):
All right, welcome back in In pronounced with you sports
DA nine three point three KJFM. We are at the

Evince Center. It is really simple to get there. Just

(11:00):
go to Piall Park, free, walk across the street, walk in.
It is absolutely sensational if you're a golfer, especially with
the snowy weather. I would say New York like weather
we're having right now, and see in parts of our area.
Come inside, hit some golf balls, see our great all
the great manufacturers down here, all the courses, and so
much more. Again. Three days open till five today, five tomorrow,

(11:22):
four on Sunday. Here at the Seattle Golf Show dot
com for more information. Danny O'Neill joins us right now
on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Hello, sir, how are you?

Speaker 8 (11:33):
I'm doing well?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Ian?

Speaker 8 (11:33):
How about yourself?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm in a golf show. I'm at a golf show, Bud.
I'm in really good show. Like this is like I'm
an avid golfer. This is this is a good thing.
I'm all gay with it. I'm very very good with it.
So this is fine. I'm gonna go see my friends
at Callaway in a minute. I get two actually from
my golf tournament, which we announced last week, the Mayor
and Maple Valley Open, which is coming July tenth. We
have two big sponsors are here today. I believe True

(11:56):
Links golfwere out of Tacoma and Callaway. Those guys both
support me mightily, and we thanked them for all their support.
But we got a lot of things to talk to about. Danny.
We'll get to the WBC and Randy Calgate in a minute.
Nothing like a good nothing like some good clubhouse drama. Right,
let's start. So let's revisit Danny one week ago, shall we.

(12:18):
Our conversation that you and I had was pretty simple.
It was let's not panic. Let's not lose our minds
when things go wrong, when people get a lot, when
the Super Bowl MVP goes somewhere else, or Riek Wallan
or Kobe Bryant, Danny, no one heeded that advice. Are
you shocked?

Speaker 8 (12:39):
I'm not.

Speaker 9 (12:40):
I would like to throw in a little though, because
you get the additional People started talking about maybe Tyson
Alger the running back from from Atlanta, will he becoming here.
There was the uncertainty about Max Crosby, and then when
the trade got nuked by the Baltimore Ravens, oh, maybe
the Seahawks will jump in there. And I every time,
I just feel like wait in my arms and like, yeah,

(13:01):
the Seahawks don't do big moves, like they don't. They
don't do big moves. They're not gonna do big moves
in free agency. That's not their thing because it's natural
because everybody wants to have fun. It's free agency. Everybody's
the bad teams are making big moves. The Raiders are
out signing a center to the largest contract ever given
to an interior lineman. So you feel left out and

(13:22):
you're like, come on, do something, and it's like this
isn't that's that's not how they built this.

Speaker 8 (13:27):
And actually you kind of don't want them to do
things because their.

Speaker 9 (13:31):
Formula has been free agency is a fairly inefficient way
to build your team. You're better off retaining your best players,
identifying a couple of guys that you want to retain
in free agency.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
And honestly, I'm I think it's.

Speaker 9 (13:46):
A win, a huge win that they retained Rashid Shahik
because when free agency opened, I really the way things
had gone, I expected him to be out of here.
And they're they're competitive and keeping the guys that they
that they want to.

Speaker 8 (13:59):
Keep, and they did that in this case with Josh
Joe and Rashid Shaheit.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I think that's the big thing, Danny, is it? Like,
listen and there's a promo. Just just does a great
job with promos, you know that. Good job, Jess. Thanks, Yes,
there's a promo running right now. And I just said, listen,
two things can be true, Like you can be sad, upset,
a little slightly uncomfortable, worried whatever that Ken Walker is gone,
and at the same time trust that John Schneider knows

(14:25):
what the hell he's doing right, Like those things all
can be true. You know, they sign Emmanuel Wilson yesterday.
He's probably just a guy, depth guy until scharbon A
comes back. Maybe he could be a guy that has
a hard time you making the roster. They've got some
guys on the practice squad, injury reserve, Ja Cardio Wright,
others that looked good last year.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Kenny McIntosh, I think you know, just talking to my
buddy Rob rang yesterday off the year. We're gonna start
robing two weeks from today because we've got March Madison
next week on kJ R on Friday. So, by the way, Danny,
we will talk to you in two weeks time. But
you know, talking to Robbie was like, you don't want
to draft running back necessarily list his name's Jermaine or
my love in the first round. But there's a lot
of other dudes, Like there's a lot the Washington kid

(15:04):
from Arkansas held Jonah Coleman from Washington's a lot of
the guys that you know, John Schneider has his eyes on,
and so like, I think we're far from because we're
far from a a completed product. B we're also far
from the start of the regular season as well, and
you know, we don't know how things are going to
shake out, but you know, it's March, Like it's March.

(15:27):
We're we're a long ways away from this thing being
on the field.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
That's the one the way to remember it that it
is a long way from things being on the field.

Speaker 8 (15:36):
And what you're.

Speaker 9 (15:37):
Watching is all of the teams whose gms are trying
to impress their owners with how hard they're trying to win.
Like that's that's what free agency is largely about, is
about teams who's whose front offices or coaching stabs want
to show to the owner, Look, we went and did
everything we could to win it is not a particularly

(15:58):
efficient time to use your money.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
And running back is a tricky, tricky position.

Speaker 9 (16:04):
I I am one on the running backs don't matter
as much as we think they matter.

Speaker 8 (16:11):
That that you're truly elite running back.

Speaker 9 (16:15):
Yes, that guy's great if you have Adrian petersoner, you
have Marshawn Lynch. But running backs are so dependent on
the guys in front of them. And you're gonna have
a new offensive coordinator this year, and so I'm I'm
I'm reluctant to really hit a panic.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
Button when I look at it.

Speaker 9 (16:32):
If you ask me, is Kenneth Walker over his four
years in Seattle, was he the fourth best running back
in the league. My answer would be No, he's limited.
He doesn't block all that well. You have to take
him off the gill. He's not a great pass catcher. Yes,
he had the best two months of his career and
the most important part of this previous season December and
into the playoffs. But I don't think paying to match

(16:54):
what Kansas City gave him, I don't. I don't Given
all the other people you're gonna need to sign, I
think it was the right decision by Seattle.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
So I'm I'm.

Speaker 10 (17:03):
Content to say, Okay, well we'll see what they do.

Speaker 9 (17:06):
They know they know they're missing their lead running back,
and they know that Zach Starbnet is coming off a
pretty serious knee injury, though kind of sounded like it
maybe wasn't.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
As serious as they feared. What afprehander went the surgery,
but there's no guarantee about what he's going to be like.
But they've still got some time to put this together.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, Danie O'Neil joining us again. Brought to you by
our friends at Northwest Handling System. Big thanks to Eric Gordon,
our friends at Northwest Hanling System for bringing us Daniel
O'Neill each and every week. Northwest Handling Systems has everything
from forklifts to pilot racks, conveyors to loading dock equipment.
We sell, rent and service all of your warehousing needs.
Request to quote today NWHS dot com or give them
a call for two five two five five zero five hundred.

(17:44):
That's NWHS dot com Northwest Handling Systems. Eric Gordon, I'm
at the golf show. Uh, those guys should be using,
should be utilizing now what they've got their Northwest Handling
System to get stuff in and out of this place
because there's a zillion vendors and golf courses and manufacturers here. Danny,
I I think the perspective, and listen, I'm gonna I
don't want to be a hypocrite. I would rather have
ken Walker. I would much rather have ken Walker. I

(18:06):
don't like not having ken Walker. I don't. I've said
all year at ken Walker's better than Zach Sharp, and
I'm not gonna change my mind now. But the bigger
issue is, remember back in the days of college football,
when it was like really college football, Danny and what
we would what would we do in August in July
when the Aflons magazine would come out, He'd look in
the say returning starters, Okay, and you get that pack,

(18:27):
that first Pac twelve and Pac ten media pack at
Danny at the start of the year, and it would
have listed in there, you know, all schools and returning
starters on offense, defense in total, and you go, man,
if I'm in the seventeen eighteen range, we're gonna have
a good season, right because you could build guys up
and all those things. Now, now you sit there and
you look at it, and I'm like, Okay, well, let's
let's look at that thing. No longer do you have

(18:49):
Do you have that like in college football, but in
the NFL you can have that. The Super Bowl Champions
Danny returned ten of eleven starters on offense and and
eight of eleven or so, depending on how you want
to do the numbers on defense. And my buddy Cormyn
Smith pointed out yesterday of the guys that played seven
hundred more staffs last season, I think it's I think

(19:09):
it's nineteen total is what they returned. That's pretty good.
That's pretty good, pretty good attention rate for a Super
Bowl team.

Speaker 8 (19:16):
It's a huge chunk of it.

Speaker 9 (19:18):
And even look, I think Kobe Bryant had a great
year for the Seahawks. I also think that there's a
chance he's the number three safety on their roster because
I would put Emon Worry certainly ahead of him in
what you'll get from the future, and maybe Kobe Bryant
passes Jordan Love who's a little bit older. Boye Mafe
was an important he was a good piece.

Speaker 8 (19:35):
But you know who Boye.

Speaker 9 (19:36):
Mafe was, and his stats universally and the pate the
contract he got, He's exactly what Graymont Jones, the guy
that they signed a couple of years ago from from
Denver who ended up being a disappointment. That's his that's
what his profile is as someone who is a part
time starter, had twenty facts boy a mafe did.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
Jones had twenty.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
One, and that when when a pass rusher like that
gets to free agency, they cast it big. I don't
think Seattle was best off by matching.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
What that is.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
They bring back the bulk of their experience, and when
you look at the shape of their salar cap going forward,
it's actually been very very good shape. They haven't leveraged
themselves to get to this point, and they could have
afforded to bring everybody back, but it would have ended up.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
Costing them down the road players. And they still retain
that flexibility. And I think their roster.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
Their roster, it's not as good as it was when
free agency began, but I think by the time the
season begins, there's a very good chance that you'll look
at it and feel like it's a better roster.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, and again and John, I trust I'd rather have
Ken Walker. I'd like to have Riquel and Josh Job
that wasn't going to happen. I'd like to have Tyle
Cotta and Kobe Bryant that wasn't going to happen. The
cost of winning a Super Bowl, as we all know,
is quite large. Daniel and Neil joining us again courtesy
of our friends at Northwes Handling System Speak thanks to
Eric Gordon and Company DBHS dot com. I'm at the
Seattle Golf Show in p all Apallall fakes Danny down

(21:01):
here at the fairgrounds. You know, the only disappointing thing,
although I think there's a concession stand on the fire side.
I gotta go check it out. Did you ever have
the Fisher scones when you lived here?

Speaker 8 (21:10):
Oh? Yeah, man. One of the things that.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I love about.

Speaker 10 (21:13):
Occasionally Bartel's would sell the Fisher scones mixed lrip Bartel's Drugs,
which are one of my favorite places, being.

Speaker 8 (21:24):
Able to get the scone.

Speaker 9 (21:26):
I love the stones from the fair so much that
I would buy the scone mixed from Bartel's and make.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
Them a home.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
People know the scones. You walk into the fair grounds
here and there's a scone food truck or like food stand,
but it's outside and it's half snowing right now, so
it's not open, but there may be one inside, and
I gotta go see. Every now and then, that's every
now and then that Scone food truck will show up
at my local fred Meer and Maple Valley, no warning,
no warning whatsoever. I'll see something later. Oh yeah, did

(21:54):
you already get the scones today? It was it like, no,
I wasn't going to the store today. You dipsticks, tell
me when it's gonna be there, or you go buy
the There's like gazillion people on that Jess. Have you
ever had the scones from Fisher?

Speaker 6 (22:03):
I've heard of their lore, but I think that they're
doing their gorilla marketing by not being around all the time.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Is wonderful because they sought after I.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Also worked for Fisher for off and on college and
then after college for nine years when they own Como TV,
and I don't think I had a Scone more than once.
They never brought him into their news station, which is
just really come on, I know. Anyway, I digress, Danny,
how concerned are we? Randy doesn't like cal Cal doesn't
like Randy. We've got acrimony in the Mariner's Clubhouse. What

(22:32):
are we going to do well?

Speaker 9 (22:34):
I would like to first acknowledge that some of my
very favorite baseball teams were chock.

Speaker 8 (22:40):
Full of guys that didn't like each other.

Speaker 9 (22:44):
So and I'm not saying that it's to this level
in the Mariner's clubhouse.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
We honestly don't know.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
It appears that Randy was kind of peeved that Cal
wouldn't shake his hand, Like I think, I think we're
safe on saying that we don't know how mad he
is or how.

Speaker 8 (22:57):
Much that will linker.

Speaker 9 (22:58):
And really this might be a kind of grumpy a
Mican baseball player versus sort of the.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
Latin players being a little more laid back when it
comes to the competition, Like.

Speaker 10 (23:10):
There might be a little this might be cultural tension
playing out sort of in the.

Speaker 8 (23:16):
Mariners clubhouse a little bit.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
But I if they are raging, if Randy is furious
with Cal, I'm still not sure how worried I am
about it, because.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
In the history of baseball, loving all of your teammates
has never been a prerequisite for success.

Speaker 8 (23:35):
Like you never needed to have it. And if anybody
doubts me, there's a.

Speaker 9 (23:38):
Video on YouTube that Jeff Perlman put together about the
nineteen eighty four San Diego Padres, and it's it's long,
it's like twenty five minutes, but it is an explanation
of how twenty five guys who had a number of
like intra ross or conflicts came together because they had
some epic fight with.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
The Atlanta Braves. I'm going to the world period.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
So if you.

Speaker 9 (24:02):
Need evidence that, hey, this isn't even if they are mad,
it might not be that big a deal like that.
I just you don't have to love everybody to play with.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
And some people might argue that it's kind of good.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
If I think, first of all, I think it's Canada
US today.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yes here.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
The funny thing is a year like last last fall,
we might I think you and I even talked about this.
One of the things I loved about Josh Naylor in
with baseball is just a game of grab ass. It
really is. That's what it is. And you know the
clubhouse high jinks, and you know a slump buster here
and all the stuff that they do right, all those things,
and remember last year when people it might have been

(24:43):
Divish was taking a sabbatical Divish or Jude somebody did
the story on Josh Naylor's and his whole persona at
first base. And if you've ever known like Josh Naylor
is the one first basement in baseball. He doesn't talk
to dudes. They get on base and he just ignores
them like he's like, no, I don't I'm playing to win, dude,
like I don't like you, and and away you go.

(25:05):
And we also, first of all, I Josh David was
my one of my favorite Mariners not named Felix Frenandez ever,
because I like a He's Canadian and be he does
that like he's like screw you. Well, like that's fine,
Like Nick, here's what I want just for pure entertainment.
Because Naylor's not the guy's gonna go up and dapt
the catcher. Ever, I think he needs to do it

(25:25):
today or and just test cal and just test him.

Speaker 9 (25:34):
I also, I wouldn't mind if if Naylor went out
there extended the hand and then perhaps cal Rechis.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
Tore him, not trying to create another incident.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
Naylor withdraws it back and makes a whole production.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
Bet I'm generally with you.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
I think that players have a variety of ways that
they motivate themselves. Yeah, and any player who has gotten
to the level that Randy or Rosarina and Cal Rawley
and Josh Naylor like they'd gotten there because they've been
consistent with their approach. We saw a five part documentary
about Michael Jordan, and generally he's kind of a jerk,

(26:11):
like the way he competed against people, but he was
a consistent jerk. And not everybody's gonna like it, and
there are gonna be ruffle feathers. And if Randya rose
Arena is someone who doesn't like playing that way, likes
to be more fun loving and it annoys him when
somebody is overly serious, I'm okay with him being annoyed
by that. Like you give room for people to be themselves.

(26:35):
And I would say one of the great one of
the great things looking back to the Seahawks that lead
those legion of boom teams was.

Speaker 8 (26:42):
That there was a fair amount of friction with it.

Speaker 10 (26:45):
They had a fight in their locker room before the
Super Bowl, and they went out and smoked the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 9 (26:52):
So I just think that we want them all to
be friends, Like that's part of how we as fans
can sexualize a team that's not actually how clubhouses.

Speaker 8 (27:04):
And locker rooms are and I'm totally okay with that.
I actually think that that's part of what makes sports
really fun.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I am one hundred percent with you on that. It's
it's exactly what it is. And yeah, you're right. It's
so funny because we weren't really concerned when Richard Sherman
is just undressing the quarterback in practices during the heyday
of the Seahawks, when he and just those guys are
just killing Russ as much as they could and listen,

(27:31):
we all can think what we want about Russ. But like,
that ain't happened in New England with Tom Brady, right,
Like that's not happening in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes.
But guess what it worked. They went to back to
back Super Bowls. We didn't care if those guys were yelling,
it's baseball, supposed people are all supposed to beat. I
think you're right. There's different levels of mad. I'll give
you an example, like I rarely get mad at Jess,
Like I don't do that. Would why would you ever

(27:52):
get mad at Jess?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Would?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I mean, I make it impossible.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Although there's times like yesterday Danny for example, I took
her to lunch and she had went to the Queen
Anne Beer Hall and she had the phenomenal shrimp skewer things. Right, Yes,
it wouldn't have been like it would have been okay
if Jess would have said, Ian, you want one of
these shrimps, like that would have been cool.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
I did not offer.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, like that would have been. That would have been
But then.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
I would have had to have a bite of your
mac and cheese.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
And that's what I almost took my fork and went
over because I'm sorry dating with my husband, but I was.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
But I was again, like my level of anger at
Jess was, you know, was like a two, you know,
maybe a three. But that's you know, so who knows
what the level of anger is for that regard, right, Uh,
we're off, go ahead.

Speaker 10 (28:37):
Really you didn't shake my hands, So I'm mad at well.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
But I still think it's a joke.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I don't think it's a joke. In the heat of
the day, I don't think I don't think it's a joke.
In the heat of the moment, I don't think it's
But I also don't think it's a huge deal because
what it wo just Danny is what you just said,
like you're gonna have. First of all, you have the
best athletes in the world. They didn't get there because
they're not competitive. They didn't get there because they're not
type A. They didn't get there because they aren't you know,
because they're now. I mean, some guys can coast through,

(29:07):
but those guys are there because of how they are
day to day and you're coming up and all those things.
That's those guys are on a different level than us
at this At the same time, like, I think part
of it is that Daniel, I'll go back the Mariners
marketing campaigns of all those years, what's the one that
we all stand out? You gotta love these guys, right,

(29:28):
You gotta love these guys, right, and they've they've because
when they were awful, which was most of the years
until recently, they okay, what can we hang our hat on. Oh,
these guys are likable. We like all of them. They
like each other, and we like them. Right, they might
be awful now. The funny thing is because you were
in this clubhouse. There were a couple clubhouses the eight
nine ten era, right with the Richie sections of the

(29:50):
world Sean figures, Richie sex and Casey Kotchman. I mean,
there was some absolutely awful dudes like just bad. Hey,
you know what, Willie bloom Quist, you have to you're
the only guy in the clubhouse to answer media questions
after every game. I know you only played one inning
or you pinch roum, but you're gonna be the only
guy because the rest of them are just absolute pukes,

(30:11):
like they're not always gonna be nice. But they built
this reputation. I think people in Seattle like, well, they're
supposed to all like each other, and they were a
likable team last year. They're a fun, likable team and
and so that's why people get upset. We got March
Maddis next week, buddy, so we're gonna Are you are
you doing? Do you? Are you a bracket guy?

Speaker 8 (30:27):
I'm absolutely a bracket guy.

Speaker 9 (30:29):
I am usually I go to the tournament guy, but
I don't think I'm going this year. I think I've
I've had to cancel to to head out and visit
my family.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
But I love the tournament.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Are you are you in the gas Man Memorial Tournament?
Although gas is still with us, By the way.

Speaker 9 (30:44):
I'm actually the bracket I do is there's there's two
groups that I do.

Speaker 8 (30:48):
One is with a bunch of my dad's high school friends.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
Yeah, and then another one with a group of my
high school friends or brackets.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I love it. They're two bracket guys, same bracket though.

Speaker 9 (30:58):
Same bracket and both I'm not enough to keep track
of multiple brackets.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm the same way. I'm just you know, if you
if you do well, you do well. If you don't,
that's that's a new problem. That's as simple as that. Like,
that's just that's fine. Yeah, we're I can't wait bracket.
I do brackets. We do a draft for teams. Uh,
with your you'll love this. With my group, my old
man football fantasy football league. You know who's in this.
Guys like Dick Rockney, Bill Knight, Glenn Drosenthal, all all

(31:23):
the guys that make you look young Danny from the
Seattle Times back in the day.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Absolutely, have a great week. Tell people the about the
dang apostrophe.

Speaker 9 (31:33):
Well, you can go to Danny O'Neil dot com, enter
your email, and I'll send you a couple of.

Speaker 10 (31:37):
Emails each week, including a breakdown of exactly how seriously
to take.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
The little dust up between Randy and Rosaria and Kal
Laly on a scale of one to five, I'd give
it like a one point three.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Okay, well that's not a zero. Then that's not a zero.
That's all I know. Hey, we'll talk to you in
two weeks.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
All right, sounds good. Takecare, guys. Enjoyed the Golf show.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Danny O'Neil, Yes, for the Seattle Show. We'll tell you
more about that. We'll take a break, come back. Daily
power Play. We want to get into a little bit
in just a second from last night. Lane Lambert was
not happy and rightfully so. Will hear from him coming
up next. I'll see're going to crappy people.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Where do you want?

Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is the Daily power Play on your voting for
the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point three k j
R f M. The Daily power Play is brought to
you by a Quaha, the logest inventory of Kaboda Equipment

(32:53):
in Kane County. Now your daily look at the National
Hockey League and the Sea Kraken with the infants.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Welcome back. We're here at the Sale Goal Show. How
are you doing? Let's going on? I see we're there.
We're hanging out the Sale golf show right here at
the nineteenth hole. A lot of people coming by, which
is really cool. Fun to see.

Speaker 12 (33:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Daily Power played brought to you by our good friends
of Isquahana Cracking last night, just a listen. Great team
they played, but kind of unacceptable two and four home stand.
Four straight losses to end the home stand two and
six since the Olympic break. Post game last night, Lane
Lambert not happy. Do you think it was a case

(33:37):
of showing them too much for this fact?

Speaker 13 (33:39):
I do, Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
And my biggest issue.

Speaker 13 (33:44):
With the first period is the wills they scored are
just systematical breakdowns that you know, we've played over sixty
games this year. We need to have poison composure. We're
doing thingsolutely mind boggling to me.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's gotta stop because we need to wake up. I mean,
what do you think it takes at this point to
they're going to playoff race? I mean, how is it
possible if they're not ready to go? Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 13 (34:16):
Is a great question, you know, and like I, like
I said, probably showing them too much respect. I don't
necessarily know that it was a thing where og we're
not completely ready to go, showing them too much respect.
But you know they start rolling around on our zone.
We have a system in a structure and we just
completely throw it in the throw it down the drain

(34:37):
and they're just making plays.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
It's ridiculous, mind boggling ridiculous. I love it to get
him lame. He's fed up, and I don't blame him.
I think I ever been watching it right now is
a little fed up too. They get another chance to
get after tomorrow. Eighteen games left in the season, Vancouver tomorrow,
six thirty three games, seven o'clock face off Florida here
on Sunday. That's not the same Florida team that's once
Stanley kept the last two years. They're a little beat up.

(35:01):
You've got to get four points the next two games.
Simple as that. I know I've been saying that for
a while, but simple as that. It's pro sports. Time
to pick up it, pick it up. A little bit
almost said something. I can't stand there all right. Betton
will be with the pregame show six thirty seven o'clock.

playing games, the round of sixty eight first four whatever
they call it. These days, they're playing games, let's be honest,
because the real turn to starts on Thursday. But well,
of those those games from Dayton coming up on Tuesday, Thursday,

Let's get to Gary Perish.

Speaker 1 (38:20):

to the golf show. Coming up at two thirty. My
buddy Bags from Calloway is gonna stop by. We'll tell
you why it's important to come down and get fitted
by them or somebody else's well, that's coming up at
a minute. Gary Parrish joins us. Hello, sir, how are you?

Speaker 5 (39:04):
I'm wonderful. How are you on this Friday before selecting Sunday?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Oh? You know, you know if Well, first of all,
I'm in a golf show. So like there's every manufacturer imaginable,
every golf resort in the Pacific Northwest is here. I
just talked to the guy from Orange Whip, you know,
the heavy orange ball that you can warm up with
when you get old like me, Gary, So like I'm
I've got kind of sensory overload. Right now, I'm that guy.

(39:28):
I'm kind of losing my mind because I just want
to go hit golf balls. But and I know you play,
so you can you can relate to where I'm at
right now.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
Oh listen, I would be in heaven if I were
with you right now. I like the It is the
one thing golf that I do with my free time
that I enjoy more than anything else, whether I'm with
my friends or my sons. It's the thing I like
least about the college basketball season because it makes it
very difficult to get out on the course as often

(39:56):
as I would like. But trust me, just as soon
as that national championship game is done me any afternoon,
that's probably where I'm gonna be.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I love that, And I can relate because about the
time the national championship game ends, unless our hockey team
gets his act together and gets into the postseason, I'm
two weeks away from hockey season being over, which is
my college basketball to year. You know that's a comparison,
and I'm the same way. And I can tell you
this playing with my buddies on a Wednesday night league
or playing with my son's twenty three now, and he

(40:23):
is an avid golfer, and outside the fact that I
feel small and weak when I play with him, it's
the best thing in the world. It's absolutely the best
thing in the world.

Speaker 6 (40:32):
Man.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I just I love it. So I can relate to
playing with your sons. That's that's cool, man. Gary Pete Carroll,
our former coach here in Seattle, won a Super Bowl,
went to another one, and then we won't talk about
his tenure with the Raiders. He had a term on
Fridays and he would get to Friday and he looked
at his team and he goes, you know where this is?
What day is this? It's the day before the day before, Gary,

(40:53):
It's the day before the day before selection Sunday. Here
we go, buddy. This is a great time of the year,
isn't it?

Speaker 5 (41:00):
He said, A great time of the year. I don't
know if you've been following along on Twitter, but I
had a hell of a week. I ended up in Richmond, Virginia.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
What for two?

Speaker 5 (41:08):
I honestly don't. I don't have a great grasp for
what happened. Except when you take a direct flight from
Memphis to New York City, it's supposed to go to
New York City. I woke up in Richmond. I fell
asleep on the planes like I needed to crash. Crashed hard,
and apparently we circled New York City for like an hour,
couldn't find a window to land because of weather. Also,

(41:28):
I think there's an air traffic controller problem. So we
went to Richmond, and then I was just in Richmond
for two days for no reason. I finally got the
New York late last night, but had to miss yesterday's
studio stuff. I just was not here. So it's been
a wild week, but I've settled in now, and yeah,
this is the absolute best time of the year. These
conference tournaments have been fun. And then on Sunday we'll
get a bracket and Miami Ohio will definitely be in it,

(41:51):
and Auburn should not. I assume we'd get there at
some point. Let's go ahead and kill that one. Miami
Ohio is going to be in this bracket and Auburn
probably is not.

Speaker 9 (42:00):
Well.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
First of all, I got home from a really not
the most fun hockey game I've had to do a
broadcast for in a long time. After the Avalanche destroyed
the Kraken for a four straight loss and I'm like, okay, well,
you know wh I'm gonna get home. I'm gonna flop
on the TV and I know about eleven thirty Pacific
time two thirty Eastern, I'll have a replay of Inside
College Basketball. My guy Gary Parrish will be on there.
And I can listen to Gary Parrish. I can see

(42:21):
what he's got to say about all those things you
just mentioned and you weren't there. Now I can connect
the dots and figure out why you weren't there. I
knew you were in Richmond. I figured that, you know,
you were just they rotate guys through that show. But
now I feel a little bit better because my guy
Gary needs to be on that show, especially coming up.
By the way, on Sunday, you guys do like three hours,
like for us on the Pacific time zone, it's four
to seven pm. I think you fo three hours after

(42:42):
the selection day.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
Yeah, that's always a fun show because we're reacting in
real time to a bracket that was just released. You know,
a lot of the stuff we do. You know, working
in this industry, you plan for it, you prep for it.
You're prepared to say what you're about to say hours ago,
because you know what you're talking about hours ago. This
is everything's fresh and everything's new, and we do the

(43:06):
three hour television show and then pop right back to
the hotel and jump on the Iron College Basketball podcast
and do it about another ninety minutes or two hours there.
So yeah, they can make for some long nights, but
it's it's it's fun times, man. This is this is
the good stuff.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
All right. Well, let's get to the two things a
little deeper, because I think those are you know, for
us out here as people get ready to do brackets
and they kind of this is the time of the year.
We always joke about it. Big. First of all, big
thanks for our friends at No. Why Brewing. But people
kind of start tuning in, they get ready, brackets coming out.
Everyone's gonna bracket, you know what They're They're doing survivor pools,
they're doing all the fun stuff that this arounds March madness.
The Miami story this year, Miami, Ohio has been an

(43:41):
incredible story all season long. Last Friday, they get a
win on the road and we kind of feel like, Okay,
they're in. I think you and I talked about that
last Friday. They got that win. Last week they would
be in. I was actually watching that at our shout
out to one of our sponsors for allies. We watched
the last five minutes and then overtime of that game, like, Okay,
they're in. I'm loving it. I'm happy for Miamile like
the little guy. And then they lose the first round

(44:02):
of the conference tournament and there is some consternation amongst
some but Gary Parrish, Matt nor Leander, I listen a
little bit of the podcast today. You guys are confident
Miami is in. Now. They may have a playing game, right,
but they are in.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
They could be sent to Daton and be in that
first floor. And if they are, I know some people
will think that's wrong, unfair, whatever. I don't think that
that'll be the place where I stand up and make
a point, because the truth is, you know, the computer
numbers are lacking in most places. You know, in the net,
they are nowhere near where you typically need to be

(44:37):
to be an at large candidate. At kim POM, they
are nowhere near where you typically have to be to
be an at large candidate. But they do have a
strength of record of twenty eight and that will be
what the committee uses to put them in. Yes, Nordland
and I both agree on this that they'll be in.
I would put it at one hundred percent. And here's why.
First off, no team with just one loss has ever

(44:59):
been left out of the INCID tournament. No team that
went undefeated in the regular season has ever been left
out of the NCAA tournament. As you know once he
went to sixty four or sixty eight. And here's the
other thing that I keep emphasizing that I haven't heard
other people make the point, perhaps because it's not supposed
to be part of the criteria. But I'm just telling you,
these are humans. Keith Gill is the chairman of the

(45:19):
selection committee. Yes, he's the Buffalo Athletic director. More specifically,
he's a human being who understands reactions from you know,
understand what the reaction would be if you leave Miami
Ohio out of this bracket, and suddenly it would overwhelm
every other narrative connected to the college basketball season. If
you leave Miami Ohio out of the bracket, you immediately

(45:42):
have to jump into the CBS studios and answer Adam
Zucker's questions and Wally's Erbiak's questions. By the way, the
most fameous Miami Ohio player ever. And why do you
want to do that? Why do you want to put
yourself in that position? Why do you want to detract
from the bracket by making the app and so of
Miami Ohio the biggest story that everybody in the country

(46:03):
is talking about. So for that reason and others, the
RedHawks would be will be in, and they should be.
It's a great story. And I know you can use
some data points to you know, pick them apart, but
the truth is, I don't need to see a sixteen
loss Power Conference team or a fifteen loss Power Conference
tream at the expense of a team that just went
undefeated in the regular season and I know didn't play

(46:25):
the toughest schedule. But there's been enough reporting on this now.
They tried to get countless Power Conference games and were
rejected one after another. Why because when these Power Conference
teams want to quote buy a team like Miami Ohio,
that means you write them a check to come play
you in your abilding so that you can create a
season ticket package and sell it to your fans. So

(46:45):
you pay a certain amount of money to a team
to come in, and you know, build your schedule. Well, Miami,
Ohio was returning four of four of the five top
scorers from a twenty five win team. As soon as
any director of basketball operations looks at and says, hey, coach,
do you want to pay one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to this team that's bringing back for the top

(47:06):
five scores won twenty five times last year? You want
to bring them in here? No, absolutely not. We're not
losing a bye game to the Red Hawks, and so
they just got passed over over and over again. Then
then everybody screams hitting into selection Sunday, Well they haven't
played anybody. Well that's because nobody would play them. So
it's a little bit of a circle argument. But it
will be over on Sunday. They'll be in the bracket.
Whether they're a ten seed or an eleven seed in

(47:28):
date or not, that's unclear, but they're gonna be in
the bracket.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Gary Perry's joining a CBS Sports I on college Basketball,
podcasts Inside College Basketball, and the CBS Sports Network Game.
You'll see Gary four pm Pacific time on Sunday on
the CBS Sports Network. And I know I got a
hockey game on Sunday. I've already hit record. I've alread
hit the little red button on my Compass Infinity and
it's recording. So I can't come home and settle in,
probably have a Gin and Tonic or three and settle

(47:53):
in to watch Gary and the crew do their thing
and so I can get ready for some bracket madness
next week. Gary, you mentioned Auburn. We'll wrap up Auburn
for a sec because you touched on it. From all,
this is kind of a lot of people jumping in.
They want to get Gary stots on this. You mentioned Miami,
and it kind of did turn in a little bit
thanks to Bruce Pearl, Stephen Pearl's dad, the back and
forth Auburn versus Miami, Ohio seventeen and sixteen. That is

(48:16):
what Auburn ends up after losing yesterday to Tennessee in
the SEC Tournament seventeen and sixteen. I said this where
we talk a lot about this with college football as well.
At some point you've got to win games, though, don't you, Gary,
Like it doesn't matter who you're playing, how tough your
schedule is, you have to win games. Sixteen losses is
hard to justify.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
I don't want to say impossible to justify, because I guess,
you know, maybe one day we'll get there where a
sixteen loss team is an at large team in the bracket.
But we're not going to get there this year. Four
and thirteen in Quadrant one, seven and fifteen in the
first two quadrants, So they are eight games below five
hundred in the first two quadrants, and they've got a
Quadrant three loss on the resume as well. Congratulations on

(48:59):
your incredible strength of schedule. That's nice, but any basketball
team can lose a bunch of games to good teams.
That is not impressive. Losing a bunch of games to
good teams. I could put together an eight player basketball
team tonight and we could go lose to a bunch
of better teams. If that's the only thing you're grabbing
onto and yelling about is your strength of schedule, then

(49:20):
it means you've got nothing else to talk about. You
played thirty three games, you lost sixteen of them. That's
not good enough. You need to win more. If you
can't win more against this schedule, schedule a little less
next season, because the problem here is that you didn't
win enough games. Playing and simple they should be left out,
and anybody complaining about it can just point to that
sixteen in the Lost Cotton.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Gary Parris joining us, all right, we've got I'm gonna
get to some of the games tonight. I mean it
did some incredible ones, including ones will be played on
a real basketball court. By the way, the Big Twe see,
we're not fans of the Big twelve commissioner out here
because he likes to take shots at Oregon State and
Washington State and you know, stuff like that. So we're
not a big fan of old Brett there in the

(50:01):
Big Twelve. So I did have to chuckle when he
went back. You mentioned on the podcast for people missed it,
the Big Twelve court. The glass court got yanked. It's
no longer there after last night, so they're going back
to a normal court that they used last year. Garry.
The one thing that I thought was funny. Our hockey
people are laughing. We've been putting you know, led and
stuff like that on rint boards and ice for like

(50:22):
ten years. Now. Why was this such an innovative thing
that the Big Twelve did that didn't work.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
Brett comes to this job with a unique background relative
to most other conference commissioners, you know, he used to
run Barclay Center here in New York. He thinks differently
than most conference commissioners I've ever been around. And so
there's a certain way that people do things in college
athletics forever, and he has sort of come in and said,
why do you do.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
It that way?

Speaker 5 (50:50):
Why don't we do it this other way? In other words,
just every conference has forever sold its media rights, like, hey,
here's our football basketball base. Whatever you want, it's all
yours if you own the SEC, or if you own
the Big ten or the Big twelve. And Brett comes
in and says, what is that really the best way
for us to maximize our properties? Why don't we sell
football to one network, sell basketball to another network, sell

(51:11):
them separately to maximize everything? And this was just the
next incarnation of that. It looked cool, it got a
lot of buzz, but it obviously didn't work the way
it was intended to work. Not every player complained about it.
In fact, some players said they were fine. Aj Debondsa
for instance, possibly the number one pick in the draft,

(51:32):
said he was fine on the court, comfortable in the court.
But when Christian Anderson at Texas Tech slipped and re
injured a soft tissue concern that had been you know,
he'd been dealing with for a little bit. It became
clear to the Big twelve that you don't want this
court overshadowing what should be an incredible semi final night

(51:54):
in Kansas City, most notably because you get Kansas and Houston,
two big brands to Hall of Fame level coaches, and
also two top five picks in the next draft. So
you don't want the court to be more of the
topic of conversation than the game. And God forbid Darreon
Peterson or Kingston Fleming, somebody like that slips on that
glass court tonight after Christian Anderson did it yesterday. Now

(52:16):
you've got real problems. I think it was smart for
them to pull the plug on this. Talk to the
four coaches who are working tonight, ask them what they preferred.
They seem to indicate they'd be okay with anything, but
they would prefer hardwood if we could do it. And
at that point, once the coaches are telling you that,
then you need to listen. I actually read some credit here.
A different person might be a little too prideful, a
little more ego to be like no it's gonna work.

(52:38):
It's fine. You guys don't know what you're talking about. Instead,
he said, hey, I'm listening. If we need to get
this out of here to get the conversation back on basketball,
then let's do it. And that's what they decided to
do last night. I don't mind the attempt, and I
appreciate the pulling the plug on it when it was
clear it was becoming too much of a topic of conversation.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Gary Parrish, CBS Sports Joining us here on College Basketball,
Inside College Basketball on the CBS Sports Network, on College
Basketball Podcast. If you haven't downloaded, listened to it, it's fantastic.
He and Matt Norlander and sometimes David Cobbin others do
a great job on that. Okay, is Florida's fourth number
one seed now with their win over Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
I don't know if it's locked up, but they are
certainly in pole position, if you will. In other words,
this is pretty simple. On Selection Sunday, Duke, Michigan and
Arizona are going to be number one seeds no matter
what happens between now. In Selection Sunday, that's been done
for about a week. The fourth number one is still available.
I believe it comes down to three schools. It's in disorder, Florida, Yukon, Houston.

(53:39):
So I'll lay it out as simply as I can.
If Florida wins the SEC Tournament, Florida would then be
the outright SEC champ, the SEC Tournament champ. They'd have
like eleven twelve Quadrant one wins. The NET calls the
SEC conference in college basketball. There's just no way the
Committee's going to take the best conference college basketball. It's
going to have an outright champ and a tournament champ

(54:01):
same school and not get a one seed. If Florida
wins out, they're the fourth number one. If Florida loses
in the SEC Tournament at any point, it opens it
up for Yukon. And if Yukon were to win tonight
and they're playing Georgetown here at the Garden, so that
should be easy, and then presumably play Saint John's in
the title game, they win both of those. If Florida loses,

(54:21):
there's an argument for Yukon to slide into the fourth
number one. If Florida and Yukon both lose in their
conference tournaments and Houston were to go win the Big
twelve tournament. Perhaps there's an argument there for Houston to
be the fourth number one, but it'll come down to
one of those three schools barring a surprise, and at
this point it looks like it'll be Florida because after
starting five and four on the season through the first
nine games, they've been operating like one of the best

(54:44):
teams in the country for a long time now. Like
I want to say, last time I looked it up,
over a twenty two game stretch, they were quite literally
the best team in the country. So Ted Golden got
a chance to repeat as national champion, and I don't
think at this point anybody would be too surprised if
he did it.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Gary Parrish, all right, let me let's get to well
And by the way, next week, Gary's on with us.
We've got our bracketology show we do with Gary every year.
We go through and spend a couple of segments with
Gary and get you the best in depth that you'll
find UH basketball bracket coverage that you can find anywhere.
We'll do that from Stokequalma Casino and Hotel coming up
on Tuesday. So Gary's going to join us next week,
so we'll kind of get into like the Duke injuries,

(55:22):
North Carolina injuries, guys that you see as high seas
But where are the red flag? We'll get into all
that next week with Gary. Let's just give folks what
to look for this weekend. First of all, MAC, is
that now a bid stealing conference, right, because I mean
with with Miami Ohio, I.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
Mean, if I'm going to insist Miami Ohio's in, well,
then somebody's got to get the MAC auto bid. That's
a bad that's a bad development for bubble teams. But yes,
the MAC is going to be a two bid league.
And there's also a scenario where the Atlantic ten turns
into a three bid league. Saint Louis gets an at large,
DCU could get an at large, and if anybody other

(55:59):
than Saint with VCU wins the A ten, that becomes
a three bid league.

Speaker 8 (56:03):
Perhaps.

Speaker 5 (56:03):
So, if you're a fan of a power conference bubble team,
what happened in the MAC not good for you. What
could happen in the A ten also not good for you.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
WCC finished last week, is that a three big conference
with Saint Mary, Santa Clara and obviously gone zag is in.

Speaker 5 (56:16):
I think so, But it's going to be impacted perhaps
by what we were just talking about. Like right now,
you look at Santa Clara and in some brackets they're
going to be last four in think of this as
like musical chairs, right, There's only so many seats, and
so when the MAC becomes a two bid league, one
of those chairs disappears, Like that's just that. That is
a team taking up a spot in the bracket that

(56:37):
was not supposed to take up a spot in the bracket.
If the A ten gets three, well, then another chair
that nobody has been expecting to be filled by an
A ten team gets filled by an eight ten ten.
That's another chair off the floor. So the problem for
Santa Clara now is that you can play your final
game before selection Sunday, which they did lose to the

(56:57):
Zags WCC tournament title games. Wake up the next morning,
you're in every bracket, You're feeling good. But then the
bubble starts to shrink, you know, because of the MAC,
because of the A ten, and they could get squeezed out.
But as of this moment, I think it should be
and I hope that it is because it hurts did
a great job there. I mean, he did a great
job at NC State and got pushed that after five
straight NCAA tournament So it's nice to see him back

(57:19):
in this position. And I hope on selection some day
they get rewarded for what was a really fine, fine
season in the WCC the last season as you know
that we'll ever see that conference with the vagciner and.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
I'm just looking around. I mean, Perdue Nebraska is a
great one in the Big Ten, Iowa State Arizona phenomenal,
I mean phenomenal game in the Big twelfth tournament that's
a semi final tonight, you got Miami Virginia ACC some
really good matchups all the way through. I'm just going
to ask you the final thing, who of the Power
SKA Conference schools has the most important impactful game as

(57:51):
a bubble team tonight. UCLA, I'm assuming is incomfortably right now.
Would that be Oklahoma and Arkansas later on?

Speaker 5 (57:58):
I think that's it. It's one of those where Oklahoma
is in the field today according to CBS Sports bracketology,
but you take another loss that could push you out,
you take another loss, maybe you stay put where you
are in the bracket because it's just a loss to
a better team. As long as it's competitive. You know,
you could stay in the bracket when you wake up,

(58:19):
but if that bubble starts shrinking, then suddenly you're you're
subjected to maybe get left out. So if you're Oklahoma,
first things first, try to beat Arkansas tonight, and if
you do that then you're probably in good shape. If
you don't do that tonight, you need to really start
rooting for you know, things to stay in some sort
of order in these other conferences, because if the bubble

(58:39):
starts shrinking, you know, if you're for how about this,
if you are last four in right now, and to
circle this back to golf in the clubhouse already, I
don't know how comfortable you can be because there's there's
big steelers out there in multiple spots, and the ones
they take that could be yours.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Yeah, that guy's named Steve Scheffler, by the way, he'll
find a way to get back. That's how it works. Well,
I'll talk next week, will reconvene. It's one of my
favorite shows I do all year, and I can't thank
you enough for that. It's gonna be a ton of
fun as we get ready for brackets again. Tune in.
Gary's got the Get the Eye on College Basketball podcast.
You guys do that, Like what late Sunday after you're

(59:14):
done with the TV responsibilities is.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
Yeah, well we'll do TV. Norlander will be on CBS
Sports h Q. I'll be at CBS Sports Network. He will,
i think, be live from the HQ studios. I'll probably
get back to my hotel and then that's always a
fun show that we do because I'm a I'm an
over preparer, like when I'm when I'm when I'm planning
a show, I like prep a show and there's no

(59:36):
time to prep the show. We're just sort of talking
and he loves it because he would always rather do that.
I'm a little less enthusiastic about it because I like
to be planned and organized and then I'll veer off
in between. But I always have a certain structure to it,
and when we do that show, there's no structure to it.
I like introduce ourselves and we just start talking and
we end whenever we end. So it's always fun. It

(59:57):
is our largest show of the year, Like the the
audience for it is the you know, bigger than normal. Obviously,
the downloads you know are certainly strong. So that's a
fun show. And uh, I can't wait to do that
and then talk to you next week and before you
know it will be it'll be Final four time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
You're the man, You're the best. Gary, can't wait to it.
We'll talk to you next week, buddy, Take care, Thank you, Hi, brother,
can't wait.

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
Bye bye.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
That is Gary Parrish, I on College Basketball Podcast Inside
College Basketball, CBS Sports Network, and we'll check in with
him again Tuesday's Our Bracketology show will be at Still
Call Me Hotel and Casino in the Hawks Speak Sports
Bar and Grill, getting ready to go for the playing
games of bracket and you all filled out and ready
to go as well. We're gonna talk about the golf show,
my favorite topic, golf coming up next.

Speaker 7 (01:00:43):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast Studio. Now
back to Ian Fernez powered by Seattle Closest Sports book
Snow Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
three point three.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
kJ R FM.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
All right, we're back at the Seattle Golf Show. It
is actually in pewallup. Don't worry about that. Let's not
worry about the details. Seal Golf Show is in Pup
new location this year, the Washington State Fair Events Center.
You park in Lot B, which is literally fifty yards
from the entrance. You walk in. Parking is free. It's
in Pewallup, cool little town, Homa. Chris Egan, we love Puallup.

(01:01:23):
It was all big time here the show this year.
We've been doing this for a while. We've been and
and last couple of years, I feel like it's been
Saturday Sunday, right, has been Saturday Sunday. Yeah, so back
on a Friday Tonight open un till five Tomorrow five
and then Sunday till four. But new location, better location,
just ease of access, easy to get in, tons of vendors.

(01:01:45):
And I mean, if you're a golf person, if you
love the game, and you'd be like me, jess all day.
I'm just kind of like, I'm overwhelmed. I got sensory overloader.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Look any the word sensory overload.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
A lot I need to do. I need not to
be sitting here just doing a show in the corner.
Need to be walking around seeing people looking at stuff.
But I wanted to mention a couple of things. One
so we mentioned last week. The Mayor Maple Valley Open
is July tenth. This year. We have our date. We
announced that last week. Sign up to be sometime probably
late May early June, standby for that. Of course, it

(01:02:16):
benefits to the Hunsky's Hope, Jordan Morris Foundation and Avery
Huffman dipg The thing with the game of golf is
in golf tournaments you can raise some money, not so
much with the golf, but with the raffles and all
the other stuff you do surrounding at Mulligan's tea prizes
and so forth. And we couldn't do that every year
without the support of great people and great companies and friends,

(01:02:37):
longtime friends. Callaway has been a big sponsor for us
for a few years, and we thanked them tremendously. My guy,
John Baggley Bags from Callaway is here, Jess. We went
to high school together. We only we graduated just a
few years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
We want all the stories.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
He's got no stories. Bags has no stories. There's definitely
a DNA right here, all right, so Begs. When people
come down here, they can go to all the manufacturers.
We I would point him towards Callaway, ask for Dylan.
He's really good. If you're here, I guess that's okay

(01:03:14):
or Chalmers, one of those guys. Dylan's good, no bags
dealing the whole crew down here for Callaway. But all
the manufacturers, why is it important if you're playing the
game of golf, why is it important to get fitted?

Speaker 14 (01:03:23):
Well, it's important because like even with your fitting it,
there's a lot of things that can go right or
wrong in your golf swing right, But yeah, they're getting
fit properly with the right equipment helps you. I mean,
the equipment's all good. Ours is fantastic. The new Quantum
lineup is phenomenal. But it's getting the right shaft for

(01:03:44):
the right swing speed, for the right light angles, and
then you know what you're trying to do, the right loft.
Like you know the experience that you had when we
fitted for a driver. It was different heads, it was
different shafts. You try a couple of things, things work,
things you like, things you don't like, and then next
year you know you've got a recipe. Your recipe was
designed for you. Your shaft and the head and the

(01:04:06):
driver we got for you. And then you're just you
were smacking them out of the park with great flight
and distance and it just feels good and it makes
a difference when you get fit.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
I've I've always I mean we all go through clubs
and stuff like that. People buy them off the rack,
and you do that sometimes and sure, and you probably
aren't going to be happy with.

Speaker 14 (01:04:24):
The results, yeah, because you won't know if it's the
right fit for you or not. So you could be
doing something and swinging right, but you're trying to do
something that's not working for you, and trying to do
something that maybe is working for you. But getting fit
makes it takes you to a whole other level.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
You know. What I found is the shaft is the difference.

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
Shafts are good, heads are good, langles are good, all
all those things.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
The grips even to I was I was surprised by that.
I was actually really surprised by like what a difference
a shaft made. Yeah, that really shocked me. Yeah, and
you're not going to get that if you just go
to the store and just knowing off the rack. No, yeah, right,
because you might hit a couple nice ones, they might
try to simulate it up and give you like a
hundred hundred my an hour back wind or something like that.
And also I'm hitting the ball, but.

Speaker 14 (01:05:03):
Like like in your experience we did with you on
a Newcastle. It was it was interesting to see the
ball flight and have it. But it worked out good
because that we tried this, then we tried that, and
then we put you into what I recommend it and
next thing you know, you're striping them, you're hitting them far,
you eat a nice loft and it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Was it was good. It's all confidence and that's why
you wouldn't know unless you got fit right. So that's
why you come down the golf show and the think
cool thing here is all these guys are lined up
so and we'll give a shout. I mean, they're all here.
So Callaway is next to Tailor Made, like there's ping
down there whom I missing? Like everyone's here. Everyone's here.
So if you're partial to al and I think a
lot of people get partial with a club manufacturer, but

(01:05:38):
I would suggest coming down and trying different ones exactly sure,
and go go you know, basically tent to tent to tent,
tell them what you are, and you walk guys through it,
or the other guys will walk through guys. Your competitors
do the same thing. You walk them through it. But
that's the cool thing about the Seattle Golf Show. So
if you're coming down here, go try stuff out.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
Yeah, that's what we're here for.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Try stuff out. They've got a whole bunch of They
got another side over there. It's all the putters, yep,
which you know, like I think we all understand that
that's a big part of the game, and most of
us just don't take that serious enough.

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
It's yeah, you should get even fit for a butter.
It's important.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Yeah. And then so you can go check those out
as well.

Speaker 9 (01:06:13):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Uh, they got all the resorts are here. You can
get deals. Golf balls. Golf balls make a difference too.
I was my buddy Murph, who's uh scratching his way
onto the uh the Senior the Champions Tour right now,
and we play a lot and he's like, dude, you
got to start playing better balls. And I'm like, well,
the thing is, I play better balls. They like, I
lose a lot of balls. I don't you lose those ones?

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
I give you. Yeah, but that but that's true too.

Speaker 14 (01:06:38):
There's such a thing as a ball fitting a ball recommendation,
and we do that as well.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, So get yourself down here again. Open till five today,
five tomorrow. Or four o'clock on Sunday. Here's the cool thing.
If you're a golfer, you ain't playing this weekend around here.
You're not. If you're want to hit golf balls this weekend,
you're gonna come here because most robby rangers are close
to no one's want to go. They're not sending ball
picker uppers out there in the snow. So yeah, so

(01:07:04):
like my kid works at the golf course. He got
sent home at eight o'clock this morning. He was thrilled.
But but honestly, you guys, come on down here, hit
some golf balls, try out all the clubs, go through
all the manufacturers, try out a potter, do all that,
check out the resorts. We're thrilled to be here. Big
thanks to h to Dick Stevens and the crew here
at to say a golf show for having us out today. Bags,
thanks for not telling stories.

check in with Fain next. All right, wrapping things up

(01:08:05):
from the Seattle Golf Show.

Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
In all.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
You're the Dick Fane spot a moment ago for it,
yes again, open here at the p alt Fairgrounds until
five pm today, five pm on Saturday, and four pm
on Sunday. I know the fans are a big golf family.
This is awesome down here, Dick. The setup here is
better than it's ever been in Seattle. I can tell
you that. Better than the Living Field. Yeah, better than
Living Field, better than the Convention Center the last couple

(01:08:32):
of years. It's there's a it feels like there's more
vendors and more people down here. It's awesome. Your kid
is a great golfer and probably got a heck of
a golfing future ahead, so I can tell you this.
He ain't golfing this weekend. You might as well, come
on down here, my friend, after you've done there at
the Seattle Sports Awards. Well, he's gonna try.

Speaker 12 (01:08:50):
My wife and I are gonna go up to Victoria
with my daughter. And we asked if my son wanted
to go, and he says, no, I want to stay
home and play golf. So he is try to like
golf today got snowed out, but he is gonna try
tomorrow Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
But you're right, it's so much fun.

Speaker 12 (01:09:06):
And if it just reminds me of like taking him
home from the golf So we've been probably eight in
a row something like that, and he comes home with
this bag and it's like, I think he's just as
happy with the bag of goodies he gets from the
golf show than when I when he comes home from
Halloween night.

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:09:25):
He just dumps it all over the floor. Let's see
what free rounds I got. Let's see what kind of
balls I got. It's really cool, that's what that's what
the kid.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
Yeah, I my guy. If he comes down here, he's
on his own. He's got his own money now, so
he could because otherwise the thing was you could come
down here if you won the Mega power ball thing. Right,
you could probably come down here and dispose of all
of it just in one fell swoop, you know, join
a couple of clubs, buy some you know, I mean,
just do whatever. It's it's fun. It's a ton of fun.

(01:09:53):
You guys are at the Seattle Sports Awards, correct, we are.

Speaker 12 (01:09:56):
We are as like to calm before the storm. I
see the set up there. I see your guys at
Fox thirteen over there, you know, setting up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
I see the uh.

Speaker 12 (01:10:05):
I see all sorts of Como News four and we
got all the TV. There's Kink five. Egan's not here yet,
but he will be, and uh, we're gonna have some fun.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
We'll we'll talk to Mike ho Im Goren a little
bit later on in the show and have a good
time here. The uh yeah, I My favorite Seattle Sports
Awards story is I think two or three years in
a row. We well, we were interrupted by COVID for
a couple of years, I believe, right, because I think, Yeah,
one of the first ones I did was twenty eighteen
with Fox, and because my show was too early to

(01:10:37):
do anything with the radio station went down with Fox
in twenty eighteen did some stuff. We Emember. We had
our buddy Gardner Minshew on. Afterwards, We've had a couple
of Sonics came in, you know, and I think Lenny
was there. It was it was always fun to see
guys like that. But my favorite one the last I
think it was the last one I did with Fox thirteen.
I was the only one there. I don't know where
Levine was or Alyssa or whatever, but I was down there.

(01:11:00):
We had the desk set up and we were one
of the sponsors. So hey, we're gonna just do live
shots during our news from ford until seven. We're just
gonna do If you get somebody on the desk, just
tell us and we'll you know, we got a producer
there and we'll we'll just go live. And like looking around,
it's kind of like for you right now, like there's
nobody there till like five thirty six, sure, right, but

(01:11:21):
then people start rolling in. Well, the first few people
are rolled in, I look up. It's Roma Dunes A,
Michael Pennix Junior, and Calein de Boor And I'm like,
lovely the three and I'm like here we go, like
and they go, you got anybody down there? And I'm
looking around I'm like, I'm still looking for somebody.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
Still.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Well, there's a couple of guys here from Washington Football
who it's the bar. I done Panix to put them on.
Did you see if you get those guys on? And
it's funny because, uh, Jeff Bechtel, the Great Sid comes
over and he says, hey, like you you want to
guess you need guests. I go, yeah, I need guests. Absolutely.
He goes, all right, well, what do you want to do?
He goes, let's go the two players at one time

(01:11:59):
and they'll do Kylen the other time. Okay, perfect, So
we do the two Kaylen comes over and I don't
want to like the guy at all, Like, I just
don't want to like I don't want to like Kaelin.
I don't want to like him in any way, shape
or form. He comes over before I introduce myself, I
Kayleen internesced Harry. I goes, do a great job with
the Seahawks stuff, and I like your show And I'm like, dude,

(01:12:20):
don't do that to me. Yeah, don't just feel good.
Don't just like just totally dis wanted to start. Yeah,
you just wanted to start rich? Yeah, because I interviewed
Mark a few years ago, and he was so unlikable
in such a jackass. I'm like, Okay, that's easy. I
don't like you, and I don't have to ever like it.
Kayln does I like him? And then I will say this,
and I've said this a lot of times in the year,
Michael Pennix Junior is one of the most engaging athletes

(01:12:43):
I've ever spoken to. He is fantastic. He was awesome
and really cool and so was wrong. Honestly, so was wrong.
And then I'm like, okay, all right, this is no fun.
I never want to have to come here again because
I'm I might end up liking more Huskies than either.

Speaker 12 (01:12:59):
I see it, we have Huskies. Maybe maybe Jedile show
up today. I love I like Jed. I know a
lot of people don't like Jed, but I like Jed.

Well, it's it's a cool event. It's kind of the
Who's Who, right, I mean, it's really it's it's a
Who's who. And I mentioned this earlier. The fact that
our Mike Comrian is getting on or tonight is really awesome.

Speaker 12 (01:13:17):
That is the number one reason why, the number one
reason why I'm staying for the banquet after the show.
The a number one reason I want.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
To see that. Well, I assume it's one of those
fluid situations like I just mentioned, you're not sure exactly
who you're getting on or when you're getting on. But
they'll have some You'll have some big guests on today
