My dad with Steve Pool. Milt thought the world of Steve. And vice versa. When my dad died Steve was one of the first to reach out to me and tell me what “your pops” meant to him. And when I started in the biz Steve was a big supporter. RIP to the best.

We are not allowed to revel our
#HeismanTrophy
votes until after the award is revealed.
But.. I will say, this was a hard decision, until it wasn't, this year.
Hint- for me this year at least, you should have to play and win in a conference title game among other criteria.
Well that is interesting
ROOT Sports does the shortest
#Mariners
postgame show ever.
No Scott Servais postgame presser
No mention of Scott Servais at all.
Just “ok, goodnight.”
Strange. Very strange.
This whole thing… So many incredible HS coaches. In every sport. Who do it for the kids. This dude was all about him. If I was a parent of a player on that team, or another coach, I would be sideways. Cheers to those who coach for the right reason. Go away fella. Go away.
Joe Kennedy resigned after just one game back on the field for Bremerton High School. The assistant high school football coach lost his job during a controversy over his public post-game prayers.

Some jobs you just don’t take. But now I understand and believe the rumblings from inside the athletic department regarding his poor relationships.
Greasy move by Pat Chun. Probably some celebrating going on inside the football office and Bohler Gym with his departure.

Moved to PDX because you were the producer.
You opened the door for

Clueless uninformed statement. A poison pill in the facility had to go. Was a helluva run for Russ but it was over. Maybe should have happened a year prior.
The
@Seahawks
NEVER should have traded Russell Wilson
Absolutely collapsing this year...
It will take years, several years to find anything close to a good QB in Seattle
This will be discussed a lot. Will just add-Not everyone in the locker room was happy with the “celebration” and cigar smoke following a season when they fell short of the postseason. Everyone will have an opinion but I know there are many vets in there who share Jon’s opinion
The Seahawk way is a bit different these days I guess. I could say a lot of things right now because I’m shaking with anger but I’ll just say I’m really disappointed.
Listening to the Cougs in Spokane. In a world of Charissa Thompson i just heard a clinic on how to do a sideline report from
@JessamynMcIntyr
Info on potential injury to QB. What she knows. What she sees. It can be done well. And Jess and others are a great part of broadcasts
Band of misfits. 9-0. Another no sack game. Can pass block and..wait for it, run block too. Why? Coaching/ hard work. Proud of these dudes. Were supposed to be the weak link for this team. Played for each other all season. One more to go boys.
@WhitworthFB
Thx

for sharing this with me. Classy move by

A championship QB and his OL! Congrats to

Will post after the show, but an incredible conversation with

just now. Not all doom and gloom for

IF the right person is hired, fast. I also hope
@pat_chun
leans into Donald because he has been a stabilizing force for the team
#GoCougs
I am sure this is obvious, but can can confirm through
#NFL
source that Chip Kelly was not going to be offered the
#Seahawks
OC job. So he apparently moved on and was so desperate to NOT be a HC he is now headed to Ohio State.
Up to you and Pat now to keep
it together. Simple. Good crowds in Beasley more than pay for his salary. If not… well we all know what the last 15 years have been like.
#GoCougs
6AM and already the starting quarterbacks at Ohio State and Oklahoma have entered their names in the transfer portal.
#CFB
is a mess. From game results not counting (FSU) to unlimited free agency and a NIL system that is unrestricted the sport is a mess.
And I will say it again. This guy is not a true representative of what high school sports should be about. Instead it’s a narcissistic who doesn’t care about the kids. The program. Or his fellow coaches. He cares about selling books and a screenplay.

#FOX13
Hell of a run. Thanks for the entertainment
@WSUCougarsMBB
this year. Kyle just made life changing money. Hopefully it will be in Pullman. Let’s change the narrative Pat and Kirk.
But no matter-this was a special team with great stories that won’t soon be forgotten.
#GoCougs
Ryan is right. They fell short. A show like
@CollegeGameDay
normally celebrates
#CFB
even to the point of going to FCS schools or HBCU games. Instead, they clowned two schools, including one that they themselves said had one of the best Game Day shows ever in 2018 at Pullman.
The point of my criticism of
@CollegeGameDay
was simple. They had an opportunity to make it a celebration of
#CFB
and instead made it a joke. Direct, to the point, and also acknowledging that falling short is a human trait - it happens & we all do it!

day ever. Final game in conference history. Top 5 matchup. CFP berth on the line. And no pregame show. Zip. Nothing. Also was an opportunity for the local ABC affiliate to do something too. Nope. Just a newscast. RIP Pac-12.
We joke around a lot on the air, but the support of these two knuckleheads means the world to me. Thanks
@dickfain
and
@Softykjr
for being there for this event.
Nobody has ever done this before… anywhere. College. NFL. Nowhere. Imagine if NFL coaches thought of this? Play loud music inside their indoor facilities for example. Stunning that no other coaching staff has been this detailed in their game prep.
Coaches/equipment staff are blasting stadium music and the Oregon fight song during practice.
It’s that level of detail that makes Coach Prime great.
@DeionSanders
To recap what I said earlier today on
@933KJR
regarding the
#AppleCup
What I am hearing, from multiple sources: There is a strong push to play at Lumen Field in 2024-possibly Labor Day weekend. Revenue would be split 50/50. The game was supposed to be played in Pullman in 2024
Under oath this summer, Kliavkoff said USC & UCLA lost their board positions when they announced they were joining the Big Ten in 2024.
Why is this important? Kliavkoff is a defendant in the Pac-12 case, which means he either has to stand by this or risk perjuring himself.
Thanks Aaron. I have to admit, it has been a strange start to the Seahawks season watching you and the crew and not being a part of it. But as always, you
@jordanbabineaux
and
@Alyssacharlston
are crushing it. Miss you guys.
The
@SeattleKraken
are getting two amazing people with Linda and
@IandFurness
joining their game broadcasts this season. Incredibly cool to have Linda back in Seattle, and after working with Ian for 15+ years, I understand what an amazing and dream opportunity this is for him!!
So the network that destroyed the
#Pac12
and decided that
#GoCougs
and Oregon State are not worth much, will now show the Beavs and Cougs in prime time? Makes sense.
Simple. Pay him and staff. Kirk and Pat the investment will more than pay for itself. This isn’t hard to understand. He knows how to win in Pullman. CBK isn’t like FB. If you have the formula you can get to dance. Finding the right guy is the hard part-Raveling. Kelvin. Tony.
WSU coach Kyle Smith is staying mum on contract extension talks: “I’m just waiting to see what they're presenting. We'll figure it out. We have a good program — we need to be treated as such.”
It is clear that the Big Ten wants no part of Michigan, and vice versa. The relationship is broke. So come on out West Wolverines. We have a spot for you with the Cougs and the Beavs. Add in some Broncos, Aztecs, Bulldogs, Cowboys, etc.. we have ourselves a new "Pac" conference.
No need to quote tweet, respond, or even acknowledge the misogynist, bitter, angry has been media member who took a shot yesterday- who gives us old guys a bad name!
Work ethic, talent, and grinding every day isn't always easy to find in our biz.
@BrennaGreene_
has all of it.
Lots of stuff to deal with. Ticket issues for students. An egomaniac

hell of a job Kyle.
New lights from Prime Electric at Lumen Field are fantastic. Same company that did the new ones at Husky Stadium. Well done by my pal Kenneth McKenzie and crew at Prime.

Yamamoto shootout goal and spectacular, elite goaltending from Grubauer. Net result. Massive 2 pts for

who still have a heartbeat in playoff race. Give me another month and a half of relevant, entertaining games like that please.
During our

interview with Boye Mafe, Jamal Adams walked by and shouted “tell them I am back next week Boye” which is a solid second source to Pete Carroll saying he expects Adams back for MNF

I was stunned that Cam Ward MAY have 7 figure NIL offers and then saw that Jack Plummer has a deal worth around a half a million. College football isn’t drunk. It is passed out in a back alley somewhere.

Washington leaves the fans in Corvallis stunned as the Huskies upset Oregon State and end the Beavers Pac-12 title hopes.
Washington is now 11-0 and will play in the PAC-12 Title. The Huskies will look to complete a perfect regular season in the Apple Cup.
Best atmosphere I have been in the last few years was week 2 in Detroit. Those fans are the Mariners fans of the

The comments by Mike Holmgren are significant. He doesn’t take shots and is very measured in his criticisms. Nationally. Locally. Fans. Media. Others. Almost unanimously agree-a bad look. Bad message. Condescending. Arrogant. Insulting (the chuckle).

Hard to disagree with a coach who has 2 Super Bowl appearances and a 🏆
This part really resonated as an athlete:
“Every season you set your goals high, and you present that to your players. You don’t want your players thinking that.” (54% quote)
The UW game had a 6.2 rating, 25 share on ESPN at 7PM btw. So.. yeah, no doubt the Seattle tv market is a
#UW
tv market. But it is also very much a
#WSU
tv market too. Utah/UCLA and USC/ASU combined got about half of those WSU and UW numbers.
Postgame theme was the same from every player and Pete Carroll.
“Slow start” was the issue.
Amazing.
Prime time game. Thanksgiving.
Under the new lights with an electric crowd.
Your biggest rival.
And.. admittedly you as a team were not ready?
How could that be?
Listen carefully to what Eddie Olczyk is saying. The
#SeaKraken
are missing something. An easy team to push around because, "no response" which is code for... Ty Kartye can't be the only one who pushes back. They need a deterrent. Maybe when they sell this week they get one.
Can’t play worse than that. Can’t shoot worse than that.
Your “best” player was just awful.
And yet you almost won. Have 6 or 7 days to get right.
And you get to enjoy a

@PuckKJR
Not carried live on either sports station here in Seattle.

Alan Reed was a fixture on the sidelines, in the locker rooms, high school Friday nights and every major press conference.
Thinking of all of you today. Sad day in local sports.
Not in the playoffs, so Bobby Wagner is not happy. He’s real. He says the cigars-smoking, music-blaring right now in
#Seahawks
locker room postgame at Arizona is youth.
No victory cigar for Wagner? “No,” he says. “Not at all.” Also “I love playing for this team”
@thenewstribune
Casual is my middle name.
Not a done deal. But heading that way.
$$ for WSU. Compromise for UW in the game would have been in Pullman next year if the conference didn't implode.
A casual announcement on the radio just now from
@IanKJRFOX
of the Apple Cup continuing next year at Lumen Field. So I guess the Cougs will have to suffer through this rivalry game they didn’t want anymore.
25 minutes ago the
#Seahawks
were trailing the Titans. And outside of the NFC Playoff race.
1:17 PM PST they are now inside the bubble and control their own destiny. Some root for draft picks and “changes”
I enjoy watching/covering postseason games. More fun

The guy on the right is a dipstick.. but he did a good thing today. Great event
@Softykjr
bringing

together the day after the Apple Cup.
Geno Smith in field in middle of the picture. Not doing anything. Lock taking snaps and throwing as the starter would. No cleats. Probably.. Safe to assume he is out today.
#Seahawks
I can't ever remember a local athlete who has "achieved" what Jamal Adams has in the last few days. It is remarkable. If you are a
#Seahawks
player you have a long, long runway. He has used that up and then some.
Many improbable wins here over the years-in prime. This is near the top of the list. Less than 2:00 left and 92 yards away to keep the playoff hopes alive. With a backup QB. And the
#Seahawks
did it. With two amazing throws and a second interception by a “backup” safety.
This is a given- DeBoer extension should be announced with noted
#PurpleReign
supporters and insiders Puck and Jim around... 10-11:15 AM.
Previous big stories between the 10-1 timeslot include:
Russ traded ✅
Pete Let go ✅

Disclaimer: I don’t think the committee does this BUT if they want to actually pick the 4 best, these are them:
1. Michigan
2. Texas
3. Alabama
4. Georgia
Fun to see
#SeaKraken
on a run. Much needed. Offensively still challenged but inside their own end and in the net they have been really good. Dunn needs to be in Norris conversation. Did it at both ends again tonight
Another classic example of the
#NFL
just not getting it right. Wagner has QB wrapped up. If he throws him to the ground, it is a penalty. But instead the QB is allowed to chuck a ball for positive yards. Either protect the QB or don't.
