by Setter Medalers. Husky Talk Postgame is on the air
(00:24):
with Greg Lewis and Mario Bailey. Here's Dave Safti Muller.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All right, boys, but goes.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
We're back here at Jamars on Marine View Drive in
De Moins for the Husky Talk Postgame show, brought to
you by your local Northwest Chevy Dealers. Husky Talk Postgame
is on the air sponsored by Chevy Silverado. Bring on
the tough stuff because with nine trims and four available engines,
Chevy Silverado was ready to accept all challenges. Well, there
was a challenge, Greg Lewis, that was laid down tonight
(00:53):
by the Oregon Ducks, and that challenge was accepted by Washington,
but they failed against the Orgon Duck because I'm looking
at an Oregon defense that had ten sacks and sixteen
tackles for loss on Washington's offense tonight and Demon Williams
first starts, and I see a Husky defense that had
zero tackles for loss and zero sacks in this game tonight.
(01:16):
If you ever needed an example of where the Washington
Husky football team is on the line of scrimmage, tonight
was the example.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You were looking for.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
This is game number twelve of the season, and they
saved perhaps their worst performance of the year for the
last performance of the year against maybe, gulp, the best
team in college football.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, that's hard to say, and it's been, you know,
sort of evident the last several weeks that Oregon wasn't
playing around. And I'm I think going into the year
we figured that we would suffer and struggle on the
offensive and defensive lines with the numbers and the names
that we didn't have. But I can tell you these
guys are not ready for prime time. Upfront, we got
pushed around, We got bullied. You know, they kicked dirt
(02:01):
on us, they threw sand in our face, and we
could not respond. There was nothing that we could do
to get back at the organ Ducks. I mean they
we talked about if the coach was smart, he would
just run the ball down our throats. Well, I gotta
give Dan Lanny credit for being smarter than I've ever
given him credit for because he didn't try to get
cute today. He didn't have to. They ran the football
down our throats. I think there were two hundred and
(02:23):
twenty yards yeah, in rushing. And then on the flip
side of that, Jonahcoma had probably would he probably hadn't
had a game this bad in his entire football career.
Eleven carries, three yards, a fumble, and there was nothing
that he could do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
There was no holes, there was nowhere to run.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
This was just an absolute dominating performance up front by
the organ decks.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was a thrashing. I mean, that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I mean again, this is this is us they did,
and this is where a lot of people were expecting,
obviously fearing what we saw tonight. You know, I thought
there was a chance that Washington could maybe make this
a semi had a game, and they really had a
chance to do that early in the game when they
were up or excuse me, they fell behind seven to
(03:07):
three and they get to the Oregon thirteen yard line
to settle for a field goal. So again the red
zone problems come back to bite them in the butt.
They get a fumble and get the ball at the
Oregon twenty three yard line and run I don't know,
a double reverse run, whatever you want to call that.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It was a double years pass.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And then Devan Williams tried to take off obviously and
got sacked.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But you're at the Oregon twenty three yard line with.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
A chance to take the lead and go up ten
to seven on the Oregon Ducks with nine to forty
four to go in the second quarter, and you end
up settling for a field goal and at seven to six,
and then what do you do.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You pooch the kickoff.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oregon gets the ball at the forty six yard line
and four plays later they're in the end zone with
a forty six They with a fourteen to six lead.
Joan of Coleman fumbles on the very next possession. Oregon
two plays later scores and it's twenty one to six.
I mean, greg, Oregon had twenty one points. From the
nine to fifty four nine to forty four mark of
(04:09):
the second quarter to the five to fifty four mark
on the second quarter, they scored twenty one points and
at that point in time, the game.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Was virtually over.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, I mean, well, look Washington was down twenty eight
to fourteen and a half time, but ended up you know,
punting on the very first drive of the second half
and then giving up a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
On the very next drive.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So this was a absolute unbelievable title wave in the
second quarter that just put Washington behind the eight ball
the rest.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Of the night.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
This was truly, you know, a number one team in
the country playing a middle of the road conference team,
and everything that that happened in this game went along
those lines. The Washington Huskies are a six and six
football team. Oregon is a twelve and ozer team, and
that's how they both played tonight. Yeah, and it didn't
have to be you know, a bunch of fancy stuff,
a bunch of big plays. Oregon just methodically ran the
(04:59):
ball down, a throw dominated up front and this put
their foot on the gas pedal and never slowed down.
And what was interesting you talk about the the field
position stuff with special teams. Yeah, Oregon never ever had
to go outside of just running the ball and a
couple of plays into a touchdown. It's like five snaps touchdown,
seven snaps touchdown, and it was all just a ten
(05:22):
yard game, a twelve yard game, and they only threw
the ball when they had too on the third medium
and long and guess what on those plays we had
zero pass Russ So every time they got in that situation,
they were able to make the play, get the first down,
and they getting the end zone. It was just usher lacking,
the old fashioned buttlipping.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I mean, you played Demon Williams because you thought that
an athletic quarterback would give you a shot.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And the athletic quarterback got sacked ten.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Times, yeah in this game Tonight's yeah, so how many
times would Will Rogers have been sacked? Would he have
been sacked fifteen times? When he ever gotten hurt in
a game like this? I mean, this was the whole point.
The whole point to play Demand Williams was that you
thought Demon Williams could have made what you most certainly
thought was going to come, which is a lot of
pressure in this game tonight, and you got sacked ten
(06:08):
times and you couldn't run the ball.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Some of that though, I think you know, when you
take a quarterback like Will Rodgers who's has a little
more experienced, maybe some of those sacks he gets rid
of the ball a little sooner.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
He recognizes that he needs to get wait de Mon.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
William's ability to escape might have led him into some
false you know, some mation of thinking that I can
keep this play alive, I can make some happen my feet.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Then he ends up getting sacked.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think will Rodgers might have made some decisions on
some of those to just throw the ball away.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Just y, that's happening.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I got the priest at read the safety went this way,
so I'm gonna have to throw this away. Having said that,
you know, we were gonna be somewhere with the win
five to ten sacks anyway, which means we didn't have
a chance.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean, it just did not.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Give us an opportunity to do anything against their secondary
because our quarterback was either running for his life or
he didn't see anybody open in that amount of time.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The head to get rid of the football, I think.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I think Jetfish Greg and again we can take some
of your phone calls here on Husky Talk post game
from Jamar's Sports Bar in De Moines. Jetfish has made
it clear that there's going to be an evaluation of
these players. I mean, this is no longer amateur athletics.
This is professional football, and all these guys will be
evaluated starting next week, and their jobs will be on
the line next week, and there will be competition. And
(07:23):
I just feel like, if you're Brennan Carroll and Jetfish,
every job on the offensive line should be up for competition.
I mean, nobody has done anything with this offensive line
to deserve to come back and have their position handed
to them next year. And if you can't get the
job done, Washington will go out and find somebody, hopefully
they can do a better job than you. In the portal.
It's cutthroats. It's not what it was two three years ago.
(07:47):
These are not kids anymore. These are highly paid athletes.
I mean there's kids on the offensive line that are
getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to
be here.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So if you're.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Spending money on something, you want to return on your investment.
And I gotta be honest with you, I did not
think this offensive line got better as the year went on.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I thought the team in some ways regressed as the
year went on.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I mean, their biggest win of the year, certainly in
the end, ended up being the Michigan Wolverine and.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That football team.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But I saw blocking guys like Mason Graham on that
Michigan defensive front and the offensive line that I saw today,
the offensive line I saw at Penn State, at Indiana
and Iowa. I thought the offensive line greg regressed as
the year went on.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh, it certainly could be a case made for that.
I'm not gonna argue with you on that. I will
say this. Two of the guys who were at the
most position critical position on your office line, the center
and the left tackle right are no longer playing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They're injured. They went down. And even your.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Backup left tackle, the second guy who you had pencil
that spot, has gone down. So you could say maybe
they didn't regress necessarily, they just didn't have enough depth
because the guys that got hurt are no longer playing
in those particular roles.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I would say this, though.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You could not convince me in any way, shape or
form that anybody else on the offensive line, whether it's
the you know, the guy who at right guard, the
guy at right tackled, the two who played most of
the year, I wouldn't say that they had good years
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't think that. But here's my things. Often, I'm
gonna be honest with you. I think some of those guys.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Are not good enough to be playing at this caliber
of football. So I don't think development is the issue.
You can take a guy and he can get better,
but better from his deficit of skill set isn't gonna
make you a good office line. So what I'm saying
is we got guys that should be playing Division two football,
right one, Double A or in a lesser conference starting.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You think there's more a person problem versus.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I think it's their job. Though, now you know the
excuse of they got here late last year. They didn't
have a coaching staffish symbol to know what office.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Are going to run it. Then hit the portal. Now
you know. Now you know where you are.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
So you should already be scouring, you know the opportunities
to bring guys in because to me, you can only develop.
But guys have ceilings, and I think we have guys
who have low ceilings, especially on our offensive defensive line.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, I will tell you this that I think Jonah
Coleman is too good of a running back to have eleven.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Carries for three yards.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
He's too good of a running back to go two
five three negative seven negative two one zero one negative one, two,
and negative one.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Those were the runs for Jonah Coleman tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He did not break one run longer than five yards
in this game, and he had one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven runs eight runs of two yards or less. Yep,
one of them was a touchdown from the one yard line,
so give him credit for that. But seven of the
eight went two yards or less and only one of
them went more went five yards or more. He made
(10:49):
it an announcement that he's coming back. Yeah, great, you
bring him back. You need to get him some help.
What good are Jonah Coleman and Demon William's going to
be if they can't tech for these guys?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Absolutely, I mean when you know, I know sometimes you
guys make fun of me for for and back to
myself when I played.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
But I will say this reporters sometimes after.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
The game after I had a big game with say hey,
what allows you to be so successful today or what
is your you know, biggest, biggest asset. I would always
say my offensive line, because as a running back, you're
only as good as the people who are in front
of you, who are opening the way. I can't make
a guy miss if there's seven guys on me in
the backfield before I ever get started. I can't run
a guy over if I'm getting grabbed three yards behind
(11:31):
the line of scrimmage. Right the offensive line is not
ready for prime time right now. They just absolutely are not.
And when you have two or three guys starting that
weren't your projected starters because of injury, then you're at
that much of a deficit. You don't have the depth
to be able to compete with the number one team
in the country when your offensive defensive line of playing
with guys that were weren't even starters or second string
(11:54):
anywhere else and before they came.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Here, right well, I mean again, you're talking about guys
that were either back ups, spot starters, or guys that
played for you know, smaller and stared universities. And I thought, actually,
it's funny you mentioned Portland State. I thought D'Angelo Tittl,
for the most part, was maybe the most consistent player
they had on the offensive line. He had a rough
night to night, and overall maybe the most consistent.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Guy they had.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
But you're talking about like guys like Pockey Fenale, who
was a four star offensive lineman coming from high school.
He needs to step up and be a part of
this next year. And Jeed Fish has said numerous times,
and he's exactly right. If they're going to build the
offensive line, for the most part, the guts of the
offensive line, greg are gonna come from high school players
who have been in your program, not guys that you're
(12:38):
ripping off from other programs that can't find the field.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And that's where I you know, when you want to
grate the coaching staff we talked about earlier, where I
think we have some positive things to talk about because
they're recruiting, at least on paper right now, looks a
lot better than the previous year's coaching staff. Even though
you know de Boor and those as are having a
lot of success, their momentum recruiting didn't see to really
match the success that they were having on the field.
(13:04):
This coaching staff, when I'm seeing the guys who are
committed for this year and the guys who they already
have committed for next you guess.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What positions they play. They play on the offensive line.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
They are doing a darn good job of getting commitments.
They just got a commitment from a three hundred and
forty pound offensive guard for twenty twenty six. So these
guys are out there trying to find the guys that
are gonna help them win upfront.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, I just my question, I guess, is how long
will it take to fix this? Because if we are
talking about relying on high school guys, you're relying on
high school guys likely, and you're gonna see the fruits
of that labor in maybe year two or year three,
not in year number one. So it's certainly possible that
you've got some young guys coming in, but you're still
(13:48):
maybe a year or two away from being where you
want to be. And then you're messing around with the
portal obviously, and guys leaving and taking off. So look,
I mean, obviously you had a couple of guys that
were banged up this year. Zach Durfy on the defensive
front was a non factor, all right, absolute non factor.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And I think he looks good.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
He looks like Max Crosby, he looks like Joey Bosa,
but he doesn't play like any of those guys. And
he's got to stay healthy. He can't get healthy, he
can't stay on the field. He's had turf toe the
entire year or the last half of the year he's
been dealing with that. The Parker brothers, Armand and Jayvon
have got to find a way to stay healthy and
contribute to this football team next season.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So there's certainly.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Are players out there that have potential, but potential means
nothing yet, right, these guys are gonna show it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
On game day. Yeah, Well, let me walk you back
just a little bit, Softy. Here's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Today we played against probably the best team in college football,
and so we looked, I mean, like a rookie team.
We should have gone or could have gone with the
guys we had this year eight wins, so we're only,
you know, probably a player two away from being a
nine win type football team, where ten win type football team,
(15:02):
which shows you sort of that, you know, just that
slight difference that there is between really good and really
bad teams. Today we got exposed to we're playing the
best eam in the country, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So it left a bad taste in our mouth. We
can by next.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Year, Softy, with the pickup of one or two guys
out of the portal, with the development of the guys
like Packing fenw who are really young football players, we
could still be a very competitive nine ten win typle football.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Team, don't you.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, we can grab some of your phone calls if
you want. You feel like talking about this one, have
that at two eight six, ninety five, ninety five or
eight hundred and eight, two nine or nine five Oh
Husky Talk post game bracticed by Chevy Tracks, bigger and bolder,
just like the Northwest Tracks is a small suv that

Speaker 3 (16:20):
All right, We're back here at Jamari Sports Bar in
De Moines, Zakia. Greg Lewis Mario Bailey has got the
night off. BYU has just scored, by the way to
take a lead on Houston, and this game is big
tonight for Colorado. Iowa has beaten Kansas State. If BYU wins,
Iowa State will play Arizona State for the Big Twelve
(16:42):
Conference championship.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
If BYU loses this game to Houston, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Dion and Colorado against Arizona State for the Big Twelve Championship.
And right now things are not going Dion's way because
BYU is up twenty.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
One to ten on Houston late second quarter.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
So if you're a Colorado fan, you are rooting for
the Cougars tonight in this game. And by the way,
speaking of the Cougars, Husky's got hammered today. Washington State
lost to Wyoming in poldown unbelievable fifteen fourteen the final.
The Cougars lose to go eight and four on the
ear And of course, you saw Boise State last night
(17:18):
pummeling the Beavers thirty four to eighteen behind two twenty
six and a touchdown from Heisman hopeful ash jen Gent.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's right, all right, so let's get to it. We're
back here.

do it yourself die hard, there's a Colorado trimma to help.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You do more.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Washington loses forty nine to twenty one. Robert in Issaqua
you're on with Sofie and Greg? Go ahead, man, how.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Are you hey?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Thanks for taking my call? SAFTI, yep, you know this call.
This game was brutal in all aspects. Man, you know,
but I look at it this way. There's a couple
of promising players that we have, you know, Adam Muhammad
and do you Williams Junior. Those guys are studs. But
what what scares me? And Greg Lewis or I have
to disagree with you It is coaching a little bit
(18:08):
when you have when you give up two hundred and
twenty six yards and running, that's a joke. And then that,
you know, if you're not getting the trench players with
the money that they're earning, and that's recruiting, you know,
because I have never seen a team just slat out
give up the running game. Yeah you know that was Yeah,
that was that was bad.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Jed's only had one class, He's only had one recruiting class.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And he had two weeks to recruit that.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, I mean probably not fair to get on jed
for recruiting. I mean, Robert, I would just say this,
and I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
If if people have issues with the scheme tonight, okay, fine, whatever,
right you think they should have done this, They should
have done that. Maybe they should have tried to run
the ball and design runs, maybe run that Reid option more.
For Demon Williams, I got no idea. I mean, he
carried the ball twenty two times. I do believe that
sacks are a part of that. By the way, Uh,
DeMont Williams tonight in the game had twenty two carries
(19:02):
for seventeen yards, but he lost forty nine yards on sacks.
So he ran the ball twenty two times for sixty
six yards, which is only three yards of carry, right,
which is not very good for a running back. It's
also future and for a quarterback to have three yards
of carry, especially for a running quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So I got no problem with the scheme discussion.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
That's fine, But the recruiting aspect, it's way too early
to be jumping Jetfish's you know what for that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Excusing the coaches for, you know, saying that they had
no part in what happened today. What I'm saying is
the development of the players that they do have right
now isn't necessarily something I can make an assessment on
because I don't think these players are good enough where
they can be developed to play at the Division one level.
There's a reason they weren't recruited by big time schools,
(19:50):
most of them. Okay that I'm saying that part, and
this coaching staff did not recruit the players that were
here previous to the ones that's joying, and they had
a very short window in order to recruit those guys.
What I do see is that the recruiting they're doing
right now is really good. The folks they've had a
chance now as far as today and scheme and all that, Yes,
(20:10):
that's all the coaches. They didn't have a good enough
game plan to stop Oregon, nor did they have a
good enough game plan to block Oregon.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So I'm a caller.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I'll agree with you from a scheme standpoint that they
may not have done. I'm just saying specifically around development,
I don't think these are their guys or guys that
they had enough time to really recruit that can be
developed to play at a high level division went football.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I mean, look, the left tackle position was kind of
a disaster the entire year because guys were banged up
and you're just going back and forth all year long.
I mean, you know, Enoch the transfer from Ohio State,
I've actually got replaced by Landon Hatchett at right guard,
and he kind of took that job over in the
final half of the year. I thought as a party
for the most part, was a little bit of a disappointment.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
At right tackle.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I mean, he was the one guy that I really
thought may have a chance to come in here and
do something, and he just kind of was got him saying, yeah,
he just was kind of average, and well I just
thought maybe he was under recruited a little bit. He
started a bunch of football down there. He looked the
part for sure. I mean again, Titty Ali came from
(21:15):
Portland State, and I thought he was okay in a
big ten.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But we saw when you went to Iowa earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I mean we saw it really four times, Iowa, Indiana,
Penn State at Oregon where they were asked to play
big boy, physical, violent football against really good defensive fronts,
or at least physical defensive fronts, and they just couldn't
match up.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
No, they absolutely cannot in and you know that goes
on the same on the other side of the football
as well. I saw those same teams that you mentioned
run the football down you know, his throat. They weren't
trying to do anything tricky. They weren't trying to, you know,
be sophisticated or complicated, right. They just ran off tackle right,
and they had a lot of success. I think our
interior guys aren't ready to play this level.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And there's a reason. Again, a lot of them weren't recruited.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
By big time D one programs and some of them
are really really young, and so they have to be,
you know, in a program for a couple of years
under coaching staff. And the third part, especially on our
offensive side, I'll say this, I don't think that Jeed
Fish was able to run the offensive scheme that he'd
like to run because Will Rogers was not the type
(22:23):
of quarterback that he would normally go with. And when
you have a true freshman, a kid who was playing
high school football last year, it's kind of tough to
just unleash him and say, all right, we're going to
go with this kid, right, and we're going to you know,
from day one, because you know they're going to be
growing page and that could have been an opportunity to
lose some of those first four games totally where we
had teams that were beatable.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And so that's why you go with him early on.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I know, I think, I mean, I think it played
out exactly the way it should have played out.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I mean, he had to earn it, right, there had
to be a reason to start him.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yep, will Rodgers partially gave them the reason to start
Demon Williams. Demon paid his dues, he took his lump,
was a backup, right, he got experience coming in in spots,
and now it's his turn. And I totally agree with
the idea that he should have played the entire game.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I got no problem with that whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Je's already announced that he will start the ball game,
which he should start the ball game, because he's the future.
Let's get a break. We'll come back with more of
your phone calls. We're live with Jamar's Sports Bar in
De Moynes. Huskies lose forty nine to twenty one. Tonight
Right here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Out back to Husky Tug postgame powered by your Northwest
Chevy Dealers and brought to you by Coors Life, by
Emerald Queen Casino, UA Local thirty two, by Heyder Construction,
rn R Foundation Specialists, Darwin Natural Betfront and by Center
Medals on Sports Radio ninety three point three JJR FM.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Hi right back where Jamar Sports Bar in the Mooines.
The final Oregon hammering you down to Night forty nine
twenty one, Michigan upset Ohio State thirteen to ten. That,
by the way, puts Penn State into the Big Ten
Championship game because they beat Maryland tonight forty four to
seven at Happy Valley. USC also finishes six and six
like the Huskies. Greg number five Notre Dame on the
(24:08):
road forty nine to thirty five over USC, Indiana sixty
six to nothing over Perdue. Phil Steele had that in
the pregame show they were given almost thirty points and
they won covering the spread twice against Perdue. The Hoosiers
go eleven and one on their way to the College
Football Playoff Number twenty three. Illinois goes to nine and three.
(24:28):
They are the most non descript nine and three football
team ever, thirty eight to twenty eight win over Northwestern
Rutgers beat Michigan State forty one to fourteen. Jonathan Smith
goes five and seven in year number one as the
Michigan State head coach, and UCLA also going five and seven,
knocking off Fresno State twenty to thirteen forty nine to
twenty one. Final Oregon gets to win Brendan Federal Way.
(24:52):
You're on the airpal, go ahead, man.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Hey Thofty, you know what time it is. It's time
for the good old screwdrive. Hold the orange juice and
have an extra shot of vodka. Just a couple of
points that I want to make. The vision is there
for Demon Williams to be an absolute superstar. I've been
saying it all along that he probably should have been
starting a couple of weeks ago. But he looked pretty good.
(25:17):
At times. He looked like a freshman, taking some sacks
that he probably shouldn't have. But the old line and
the defensive line, they have got to get short up
as soon as possible or we'll get run out of
the Big ten. Quick, and we'll really know with a
whole portal, we'll be able to go and search the
portal in an entire portal period, and we'll know what
(25:39):
Jetfish is made of with being able to use the
portal through our advantage because we saw a lot of
programs around the country that were able to use the
whole portal period that we're not good last year and
they were very good this year. I'll take their thoughts
off the air, but yeah, I'm looking forward to what
we do in the future.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Let's just start with Demon Williams.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I mean overall saw flag right, the Tutny pass to
Jeremiah Hunter, the pass to Denzel Boston, which was a
great catch by him dragging that left toe. The pass
to Javis Jackson for the touchdown came against backups albeit,
but was a nice pass with some touch. We certainly
saw some sparks from DeMont Williams. You can see why
(26:19):
there's people that are bullish on DeMont Williams after what
you saw tonight.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, I think there's a lot of things that he
does well that fits what the coaches want to do
as a program. If you go back and look at
their Arizona example, how did they get to eight ten
and two last year?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Arizona?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
They had a mobile quarterback who could throw under run
when they moved the pocket. They had some good wide receivers.
And so I think that's what they want to do.
And if they spend this whole offseason building that offense
with that quarterback in that place, right, and now the
kid knows how to play college football. Keep in mind, folks,
this kid was playing high school football last year. They
(26:57):
aren't that many Michael Vicks or people show up eighteen. Yeah,
just turn eighteen. So this kid shown me that he
has a lot of not just potential, but I.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Think he can be a really really good football player.
What the Hussey coaches have to do.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Is now when people talk about the portal, what the
thing that they have to add to that is is
how much money do you have to spend in the portal?
Is no one has an unlimited amount of resources. So
you gotta pay DeMont Williams, right, yeah, you gotta pay
Jonakoleban he said he's coming back.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Right. You're probably gonna have to pay Denzel Boston as well.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
And so now you bring your three best playmakers and
offensive guys back, how much do you have left? Right
on the defensive side, you gotta figure out who're gonna pay,
so how much money can they allocate to the offensive line?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
In my opinion, you.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Gotta go get two quality starter types at the tackle
position and one quality starter at the guard position. I
think you have enough. Maybe at the center you can
get better there. So now, how much money do you
have to spend? So you gotta outspend other guys. It's
not just like we can go to Portal and get
whoever we want, right, we have pete money wise, so
how many resources.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Allocate to that and who can they get?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, there's gonna be bidding wars for these guys, right
and let's face it, everybody, for the most part among
the elites, have money to spend. I mean, who are
the teams that you're competing with, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa, whatever. Right,
We could be here all day talking about teams in
the Big Ten. All of them have money, yep. I mean,
(28:27):
Washington's not sitting here with some treasure chests that nobody
else has access to. Clemson's got money, Alabama's got money,
LSU's got money.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Notre Dame's got money. Us He's got money.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
So Number one, you need to have a guy that
can sell these kids on more than just the cash.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
If the opportunities financially are equal.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Will Jetfish be able to convince them to come play Washington.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Football for him?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Will Brendan Carroll be the guy that offensive lineman want
to play for. I don't know if it was you
or somebody else mentioned why did not one Arizona offensive
lineman transfer to Seattle with Brendan Carroll?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Was that you just said? That wasn't okay? I remember
the cover.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Somebody brought that up and it struck me as I, okay,
huh is Brendan Carroll? Because I do believe that money
is the driving force behind most of these decisions.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
But I also do believe that there are parents, and
there are agents, and there are.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
High school coaches that want these kids to play football
at the next level and know that to do that,
they need to be coached up by the right people.
And I don't know what Brendan Carroll's done as an
offensive line coach yet. Honestly, I mean, I don't know
if anybody in Arizona that turned into an all American
type lineman or went to the NFL. I certainly don't
see anything that he's done this year as an offensive
(29:42):
line coach that has impressed me, to be honest with you,
I mean, Titi Ali, fine, give the guy credit for
that if you want. But is Brendan Carroll the right
guy to be coaching these offensive linemen? Is he the
right guy to be convincing kids to come play here?
If the money's equal, he can be the guy to
coach them up and put them into the NFL. And honestly,
(30:04):
I don't know the answer to that question yet, Greg,
I got no idea. Well, but that's something to keep
an eye on. I'm gonna just keep it honest with you.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I don't think that matters as much as the dollar figure.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It can't be equal. We are going to.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Have to outpay those teams in order to get those kids,
in my mind, at the offensive line position, because it's
not a position that jumps out at you, you know
on the TV screens.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That coaching doesn't matter just.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
In this techol I'm just talking about in this particular case,
in what needs to happen right now, I think the
coaching matters when you do go to your traditional recruits offtee.
When you start talking about your high school kids and
those guys, the coaching and the development absolutely matters right
now when you're trying to go out and get rental players.
I think right now the coaching because those kids that
were going after are kids who are already good. But
(30:50):
they're not already good. We shouldn't be going after them.
It's been in any money, so it should come down
to the dollars what he's gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And you're talking about ripping off starting caliber players from
other football teams, or guys that are starting caliber players
that aren't starting because they're just simply put back to
the talent puzzle and they can't find a way to
get on the field.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
How do you identify those guys if they're not playing well?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
I think you gotta again, I'm just keeping it real.
You gotta forget about those players. You gotta go to
teams like and you know, I'm sure I'll get a
lot of hate mail after this, but a team like
Washington State, right they got kids who are starting maybe
on there. I'm not saying I know their line, but
I'm saying teams like that a Washington State, Oregon State,
a team that's not in the big time. You know,
(31:38):
in the Big twelve. There are lots of teams in
the Big twelve that just don't have the ability to
have the money to keep their kids because of whatever
the situations are. And you gotta go and shut and now.
But what you said is true. Everybody else is gonna
be coming after those same kids. I'll be so we
got to allocate more money to those places and resources
than the other guys.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All, let's do this.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We're gonna break come back on more of your phone
calls right here on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Now back to Husky Doug postgame powered by your Northwest
Chevy Dealers and brought to you by Coor's Life by
Emerald Queen Casino, UA Local thirty two, by Hyder Construction,
rn R Foundation Specialists, Darwin Natural Bedfrontucts, and by Center
Metals on Sports Radio ninety three point three JJR FAM.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Right now that the game is over, it's time for
a Dix run. Greg, what is your go to when
you make a Dix run?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Deluxe and Fries, cheeseburger and shake, specially on ice cream
Sunday for seventy years, Dick's Driving still serves up the
best food of the best price in the shortest time.
So stopping to one of nine Puget Sound area Dick's
Driving locations today, there's one right up the street from us,
by the way in Kent on ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So deluxe fries strawberry shake. There you go.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
I might be bypassing the house and going right to
ninety nine to get myself a couple of cheeseburgers and
a diet coke Man before I get to bed. So anyway,
big thanks to a Jamar sports bar here in De
Moines for having US Huskies get smashed today by Oregon
forty nine to twenty one. They couldn't stop the run,
they couldn't run the ball, they could protect the quarterback,
and they couldn't get after the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So pretty much over four.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Everything that has to do with tough football. Ye played
in the trees. Yes, we failed it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Nate is in North Seattle. Sorry Nate and Seattle you're
on the air.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Nate, go ahead, man.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Hey, yeah, you guys talked this week on the radio
about de Mon Williams, and hey, would you pull him
if if times got tough, and uh, I thought he
handled it really really well, and so I'm I'm really
looking forward next year to because of that. He just
looks like a positive guy and it didn't look like
(33:46):
anything really let him got him down. I want to
talk about the game plan a little bit. This is
this defensive line is elite. Your offensive line is not.
As a party is awful and year and I thought that,
And you have a quarterback that is extremely mobile, and
he looked really.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Really good when he was outside the pocket.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
Throwing the ball and making plays, and I just think
that they could have done more to protect him and
get him out of the pocket.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I mean, he almost got.
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Murdered tonight because they I thought they kept him in
the pocket a little bit too much. At some point,
you have to make adjustments when that defensive line is
absolutely coming down on your offensive line like they were.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Yeah, I think you know everything you said makes sense.
I do believe though. Part of the issue is is
you built your office this year around the quarterback that
was going to play most of the majority of the game,
which is Will Rogers.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
It's hard in one week to put.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
In a whole new offense, right you know, so as
much as you're right, they should have found more plays
to call that were in that mode, you weren't going
to be able to rebuild a complete offense for this kid.
I think you'll see more of what the last the
call that was talking about when we get into the
bowl game, where you have more time. So you got
between now and you know, probably mid December or late
(35:08):
December to actually build the offense around what he's going
to be doing as we move forward. So I think
some of that was just, Hey, these are the place
we've been running all year. It's hard to put in
a bunch of new stuff and everybody learned it from
the calls. You know, doesn't have enough reps in it.
So you kind of went with the offense that you built. Yeah,
well and they're party too. I mean this is obviously
part of the schedule. But you do have just went
(35:29):
winless on the road.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I mean, they gotta find a way to win games
away from Husky Stadium, and.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
They won every game at home. Let's that's right, They're
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
They're gonna go, you know, almost two calendar years without
winning a road game, and so that'll hopefully change starting
next season. You're gonna, you know, go into the year
nursing a twenty game home winning streak, second the country
behind Georgia, which almost came doing end last night, should
have last night.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
But you know, these are all baby steps for this program.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
They basically felt to me, Greg, when Klein took off
for Alabama and the roster got gutted, this felt like
an expansion football team.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, it really, it felt like an.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Expansion team, and that maybe you're able to grab a
couple of decent pieces in the expansion draft of off
other people's rosters. But for the most part, it's a
brand new program, and they played like it at times.
They played like it tonight, They played like it at
Penn State. They played like it in some ways at
Rutgers with the penalties and the sloppiness and all that stuff.
(36:28):
I think Jet gets the year right, he gets kind
of a little bit of a reprieve. But I believe
that college football you can now win faster than ever
in college.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Football because of the portal.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, but I think the standard should be a lot
higher starting next year.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
In Week one, Yeah, I absolutely agree.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
I don't There's nothing you said that you know, makes me,
you know, frown up and want to argue with you.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
A couple of things I would say one I wouldn't
find with me anyway. I'm in no mood. Yeah, well
my thing is this.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
You're right, you can get better quicker I think this
team again, I'll go back to this, and you know,
people might gonna grow Greg quit being you know, too
overly positive. But this team really could have been eight
win football team. We're probably too If a kid doesn't
run out on the field right on a punt and
a light ball, and if you can run a better
(37:17):
play instead of a shotgun formation option with a non
option quarterback into the boundary, you call it better play
than that. This is an eight win football team. How
much different would we be sounding right now? It would
be the same exact team other than those two plays, right. So,
I think the fact is there are enough teams that
we can be better than next year with just a
(37:38):
little bit of tinkering. Now, if you are able to
focus your resources in the portal to your offensive line
and hit two guys, that could really make a difference.
Now you're saying, all right, we're a nine or ten
win team and that in year two, who would be
upset about that. Yeah, I mean that definitely would be success.
And then that third year you got a quarterback to
(38:01):
Maal Williams's in his third year, second year, really starting
to running the team. Some of your recruits from the
first year are now developed a little bit and you
have a little bit of synergy with your coaching staff,
knowing what the strengths and weaknesses are of their players,
and now you can compete for a conference sag.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Gordon is in Marysville. You're on with Greg andsoft.
Speaker 9 (38:22):
You go ahead, Gordon, Greg say happy birthday, Mario and
you guys knowing me for like ten hours every Saturday.
So anyways, on the next Husky Roller, I'm wanting to
make the point because Ei, there I went. The only
reason I picked up the pun. I'm an next Husky Rower.
I'm go in the late eighties when the late room
(38:44):
was like really tiny, and he's just spot for Rick
Finny and guys like that, and you mentioned the word
professionalism like five times for professionalism, and Greg's talking about
portals and stuff. Can we just be Huskies for a
minute and just I just realize, uh that it's not
about all this tough and that's the reason we hate
(39:06):
Oregon is that is they're about money and we're about amateurism.
And with this, you know, as a rower and all
that crap forty years ago, professionalism?
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Is it just?
Speaker 9 (39:23):
And you're talking about development of players about a half
an hour ago. And I really believe in my heart
that the development of the players who I used to
live with in the in the crew house at.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Cred House, with.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Husky players and Tutor Dumb the best I could with.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Gordon'll ask you a question, ma'sh your question. I gotta
I gotta jump in here, Gordon. How old are you men?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Thirty eight?
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Sure you're fifty eight? Okay, I'm I'm fifty two.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
And I can feel your pain because guys like us
don't like change, and we like to be able to
sign a high school FO and guarantee ourselves that that
guy's not going anywhere for at least four years or
maybe even five years.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Those days are over. We got to get with the times, Gordon.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Honestly, if we're not gonna sit here and admit that
this is professional football and these guys are making millions
of dollars a year and we need millions of dollars
a year to make this thing go, that we're gonna
be continuing to.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Get our asses kicked, Like we got our asses kicked tonight.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Who cares?
Speaker 9 (40:25):
But who cares if we get our asses kicked? I
mean the whole point is that they're developing human beings.
And I don't mean to say that can't.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
We do both? Why can't we do both? Why can't
we win games and develop young men?
Speaker 9 (40:37):
I know you guys probably talk about this all week
and I'm sorry, but I'm sorry but this, but you
happened to mention that five times and it was like
a great game. But it's not just about change, It's
like it's about development.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah, yeah, and you we we talked about that that
with these coaches, you've got to be able to get
your hands on the guys.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Gordon and I appreciate the call and also coach them up.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
And I mean, you're telling me, who cares if you
get your ass kicked? I mean we'll just have to
end the conversation right there. If you're telling me that
you're concerned about developing young men into professionals you know
that can enter the workforce and make a positive contribution
to society some cliche like that, that's great, but at
the same time you're spending money to win games. I
(41:25):
mean Jetfish is not going out and just looking for
great dudes. He's looking for great dudes who can play football.
And if you can't play football, you can't play at
Washington period. End of stories. So I mean this is
this is a football team. We're not talking about, you know,
getting a group of you know, politicians talking about football. So, yes,
you need young men who are great people, who can
(41:46):
also throttle people the line of scrimmage and punch people
in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
How are we doing here? Yeah? I think when you
say who cares?
Speaker 4 (41:52):
There's seventy three thousand seats at Husky Stadium. If you're
not bringing competitive football players that you're developed, I mean
not just to be great young men, but also great
football players, then those seats are going to be empty.
I guess what, you don't have enough revenue right to
put on the program Hill the Stanford will be Stanford
then exactly, So you know, go play at a lower division.
(42:13):
So if you're suggesting that we go play at a
lower division of football, then.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
I got to jump off the ball right here with you. Uh,
Scott and said, hail us Scott, save us. Please, for
God's sakes, I'll do my best.
Speaker 10 (42:24):
I was thinking that if you know, and this is
actually a bigger picture, that if the university, the fan
base and the money that is up there in Seattle,
is not going to step up their game in terms
of nil and supporting the team, et cetera, et cetera,
then that stadium and that parking lot would be better
served to put up medical buildings because we are going
(42:45):
to be a mid level program in the Big Ten.
And uh, I think soft, you hit the nail on
the head. This was an expansion team in terms of roster,
and next year I think if we can make the
step to being just rebuilt, I think that might be,
you know, a pretty decent jump. You know, we played
(43:08):
three of the four best teams in the Big Ten
this year and we were uncompetitive. And next year we're
going to get to see the fourth one come up
here in Ohio State. And it's uh, Jed gets it.
He understands we've got to get you know, bigger, faster,
stronger up front. There were five games we played in
conference this year that if their stat line against State Oregon,
(43:29):
USC Iowa, Indiana said no pass attempts, no pass completions,
no yard and they ran the ball every time four
out of five, probably win by two scores, and that's
got to change. And yeah, but to put a there's
always a worse thing going on. You could be an
Ohio State fan, tonit. Your coach has won eleven games
(43:49):
the last six years. They're forty seven and one over
that time frame in the Big Ten minus Michigan, and
you're ready to blow him out of town and fire him.
So the future is bright with Demond and we'll just
go you next year. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Are standards are super high in Columbus.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
I mean, it's a team that's gonna play for the
national championship and go to the playoff. And there's people
pissed at him for losing to Michigan because you can't
beat in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Wasn't a zero to four now in his last four games.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
We're just going back to the point about where the
roster is at right now. What what do they have
a chance to be a lead at next year? Quarterback, rushing, offense, yeah, secondary,
what what do.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
They have a chance to be a lead at next year?
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Well, I think you just named three positions that you
know they have a chance to be really good at.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
I think you know, you bring in a really.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Good wide receiver where they're at high school, because we've
seen Ohio State, we've seen Alabama this.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Year have really really good freshman wide receivers.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
So you can get a guy like that, because I
really believe that Denzel Boston is a really good wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
So I think those are opportunities. But here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Do you have to be elite at a whole bunch
of different places in order to be a nine or ten?
What a success? What does that mean next year? What
is the success to use off? What is the successful?
Speaker 2 (45:04):
People always ask that, you know, give me a number.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
You got no idea, But I got no idea what
next year's team's going to look like. I have no
idea what their schedule will look like. It's all about expectations.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Though. Yes, I think if.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
We hadn't won fifteen fourteen games last year and we
come in this year and we win eight games, everybody say, oh,
that was a really good year.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Right.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
If we win eight games, next year's had a good year.
If we win nine, we went ten. So to me,
it really comes down to the expectations of your university.
There are enough teams in the Big Tens. There's enough
Minnesota's and in Maryland like Maryland, that we can win
five or six of those, then you gotta beat one
or two of the good teams.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I just think for me, it's never about a number,
because I think it's almost ridiculous to say, well, we
gotta win ten games next year or else. Right, I mean,
I got again, I have no idea. You're think you
know what the schedule looks like, but then things change, right.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
He ends up being eleven to one who knew right exactly.
Thank you for me.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I don't think expectations for Husky fans should change at
all from where we were in the PAC twelve. When
mid November rolls around every single year, Washington should be
in the conversation for the conference time period. That's it, right,
I mean, whether it's the Pac twelve or the Big
Ten or whatever conference you're in.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Now you're in an eighteen team conference. Obvious, Hey, that's
what changes your dynamics for me. Here's why.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
So maybe four of every five years, or maybe three
of every five whatever.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah, but that's that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
A team that is consistently greg and you can define
consistently anyway you want, consistently in the conversation for the
Big Ten champions I.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Don't disagree with you all. Here's the weird thing about it, though, Softie.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
You can have a year where you don't play Oregon,
Ohio State, and Penn State because there's so many teams
in the conference, and you can play one tough team, right,
and you win all of them except for one, and
then you lose to that tough team.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Sure, so you're ten and two, which are really not
that good.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
It's just really so it's weird now with all these
really big conferences, is hard to kind of you'll quantify that.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
I think, well, I.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Think I think the Big Ten eventually should go to
two nine team divisions, or add two more teams and
go to two ten team divisions. Hell, maybe you call
one division the Pac ten and the other division the
Big Ten, right and you're done. But I think in
the meantime, just in general terms, consistently being in the
mix for the conference championship is what you dub has
(47:23):
got to be. And I think Michigan is the same standard.
I think Ohio State has the same standard. Oregon's got
the same standard because they all have national title standards.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
But they know that they have national title standards. They
have to have big ten championship standards exactly. Okay, let's
get a break. We'll come back with more calls. Wrapping
up from Jamar's in Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Huskies lose forty nine to twenty one to Oregon tonight
finish the year six and six before the Bowl game
right here on ninety three to three kJ RFN.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Now back to Husky Doug post game Howard by your
Northwest Chevy Lesions and brought to you by Coor's Life
by Emerald Queen Casinos u a local thirty two Bye Eistruction,
R and R Foundation specialists, Darwin Natural Pet Front and
by Meals on Sports Radio ninety three point three JJR FM.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
To bars in new Mornings. Big thanks to Jamar and company.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
What a great spot, man, awesome spot here on Marine
View Drive, right across from the Chiropractor. So when I
got tired of carry and Greg and Mario, I can
go across the street and see doctor Bowen and get
my back worked on.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
You know, this spot was about the best thing this
evening being here tonight, having good time, some good food
with some really really good people.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Ended up seeing a lot of people I knew.
Speaker 4 (48:35):
So although the husky result wasn't that great today, it
was good being in.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Come check it out.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
If you saw it with this place look like before
Jamar took over, right, you would think, oh my god,
I mean this is like Washington football from twenty twenty
three to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
But in the first okay, it's cover of the opposite way.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
Uh harr is in some amish. You're on the air, horror,
How are you good?
Speaker 11 (49:00):
How are you? Thank you for my call? Uh? Disappointed
to see the last pay I got two points of days.
You do need to find a veil of Oregon, Natty
or Vincinnati if he's gonna be the same like Ohio
State reacted when Michigan want earlier this year. We need
(49:20):
to test all this. We need to really test how
our folks feel.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
So you're asking what it would it motivate people more?
If or exactly like.
Speaker 11 (49:34):
Yes, because because I feel Oio State people lost their
ever loving mind to see Michigan one a Narry. I'm
confident of that and They're like, we're gonna do whatever
it takes to win. Like whatever that means. If I
hate Oregon winning, but for I think for long term
(49:56):
you have success. I really want Oregon to plane. I
see the discussed on all the euro boosters exists.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Yeah, I got you. I mean, hey, I'm up for whatever.
Speaker 9 (50:08):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
I think you gotta, you know, accept the possibility Greg
that Oregon's got his great a shot right now to
win the title as they ever have. I mean, this
may not be the best Oregon football team, but when
you combine it with all the parody in college football,
they certainly have maybe their best shot to win the championship.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
So, I mean, does it motivate people?
Speaker 3 (50:28):
Look, I think sometimes in this town that we're a
little passive when it comes to stuff like this. Let's
face it, Oregon's not chuck full of whales. They've got
one big daddy down there, but maybe the funding entire
career and he's a huge ass whale, all right, So
good for them. So does Washington have the ability to
match that? Probably not when it comes to Nike, But
(50:51):
do they have collectively the will to get this thing going?
And you know what the other part of it too,
guys in Greg, is that there's most certainly going to
be some legislation when it comes to all this at some.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Point very soon, So the rules may change.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
Right now, it's about who can raise the most money
to buy the best to buy the best players and
get the best coach to coach amout.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah, absolutely, and I think you know, we have a coach.
Speaker 4 (51:13):
Who embraces that type of football in that system, who's
willing to go all in on. I'm not sure right
now that we have amongst our you know, true, true,
die hard fans who are willing to do whatever it takes.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
I'm not sure we have enough multi.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
Millionaires who are willing to you know, step up in
that right now.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
Is it coming? I hope so.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
But again, like you said, once things change, once the
landscape and the scope and the rules you.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Know, get a little different.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
And let's not forget outside of even the nil right now,
when it comes to money and revenue, there's the whole
you know, conference share structure that we're not fully participating
in because we're a later.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
River, and that impacts us.
Speaker 4 (51:58):
It doesn't impact organ because they do have that well,
so they're able to do whatever it takes and think
about organ outside of Herbert the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Who's a great, great Oregon.
Speaker 4 (52:10):
Quarterback, probably in the NFL, the best one they've ever had.
They changed quarterbacks just about every year. Bod Knicks was
there for a couple of years, but they went and
got him from the outside. They got Dylan Gabra from
the outside.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
They always more.
Speaker 4 (52:23):
They don't They don't develop their quarterbacks. You know we've
been talking to all this talk about development. How important
is that? Well, think about this on the most important
position on the entire football field. Oregon, who's number one
right now, doesn't do anything when it comes to developing
outside of the one that I mentioned. So football's at
the place now, Softie and those key roles like us
(52:46):
next year with the office line where development does not
mean a heel of beans. It's really about having the
money to go out and get those guys that you
need to be able to win right.
Speaker 3 (52:57):
Now, all right, last call, Robin Shoreline, Congratulations you get
the final words.
Speaker 5 (53:04):
Yes, sir, brother, Thanks Greg and Safti's frontier Gibberish.
Speaker 2 (53:09):
Rob for Charlotte.
Speaker 5 (53:12):
Yes, my brother, thanks, Hey, thanks Will for all the
efforts in demand. We look forward to the improvements, some
crazy plays and calls tonight, but it's hard to retool
with a new coach and losing many players to the
excuse me, NFL, those studs. We need to look to
(53:36):
the portal and to be ready to play and pace.
The game ended up much like our guess, but we
got next year and Jed needs a new year to
get a dog leg up. Let's get some bruisers and
in the portal and play this new version of dog football.
(54:00):
God bless Husky Bob nineteen thirty nine and a Husky
Buddy nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
Go Dougs.
Speaker 3 (54:07):
What the frontier gibberish rob? You know where that came from.
So the night we beat Colorado for the pac twelfth
championship in twenty sixteen, he called in after we had
been waiting to get on the air for about an
hour and a half because there was a high school
football game that just had to finish on KJR. I mean,
the only people listening were the mombs of the players.
(54:30):
And we win the conference championship for the first time
and how many ever years, and we're sitting there waiting
for a freaking high school game. Everyone's loaded, everyone's been partying.
This guy calls the radio show and sounds like the
guy from Blazing Saddles. That was authentic Frontier gibberish, Crocker, Crocker,
and it.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
Was just so damn funny.
Speaker 3 (54:51):
So I'm glad we got a little combrad relief from
Frontier rob there. But final thoughts, I mean, look, everybody
thought this was a possibility tonight that Washington would get
pushed around by Oregon. We all thought this was a
possibility back in February. I remember going on the air saying, look,
Oregon's gonna want to murder Washington. They're gonna want a
murder Washington after what happened a year ago in Vegas
(55:13):
and what happened a year ago in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (55:15):
They've got the players Washington doesn't.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
They're gonna show no quarter, They're gonna show no mercy whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
And they tried to do that.
Speaker 3 (55:22):
I mean, I was even surprised that Dan Landing had
Dantemore taken a knee.
Speaker 2 (55:25):
We're two minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (55:27):
They probably couldn't put even seventy up on us if
they really maybe wanted to. But this is just another example,
and the final example for twenty twenty four that udub
has got to get better on the offensive and defensive
lines otherwise this will continue to happen.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (55:41):
Coming into the seasons offtie, I told everybody that I
knew that it's gonna be a six and six, seven
and five type of season just because where we were
in the trenches with this football program. I hope true
Husky fans and I know the true Husky fans understood
that with all of the newness, with all of the deficiencies,
that we had a certain roles.
Speaker 2 (56:00):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (56:01):
I do believe though that the Husky's made the right
hire or a good hire as a football coach, and
I think this is something that will turn around and
it won't take an extremely long time.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
Yeah, Husky fans be right.
Speaker 4 (56:13):
I hope you guys, you know, can get through the
off season and still be excited in parsicipate what's gonna
happen next year because I can see this football team
jump into the eight to nine ten win level next year.
Speaker 2 (56:23):
All right, that's it for us. Chris came back in
the studio.
Speaker 3 (56:26):
