Carolina Hurricanes and Seattle Kraken in Finland

The Carolina Hurricanes have a 14-3-2 record on

the season right now while the Kraken are 9-6-1

on the season play Thursday at 9 am Pacific

Standard Time and Saturday 10 am.

The Hurricanes should be favored in this

mstchup. We should see how the Kraken

can. The two games are in Helsinki Finland.

The Hurricanes have three players from

Finland while the Kraken. We will have to

see how much playing time they  get. 

Last week the Kraken split their two games.

Last Wednesday November 4 the Kraken

beat the Calgary Flames in overtime 2-1.

The Kraken are 3-1 against the Flames.

Last Saturday they lost to the NY Rangers 

at home 4-3.  

They return home for a match against 

Vancouver Cannucks next Thursday 

and at San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

They finish November with four games 

Three will be in Seattle. Go Kraken. 

Preview Colorado St. at Washington State

The Washington State Cougars have two 

games left on their football schedule.

Neither team has had a winning record 

on the season.

I was surprised that the Cougars are

favored by 9.5 points. The Cougars 

are  1-8 on the season and haven't 

won a game in Pac-12 this season. 

Colorado State is 3-6 on the season 

while being 1-4 in the Pac-12.  The one 

win happened on October 24 when they

beat San Diego State 56-40.

The Rams are ranked #20 in the country

averaging 35.8 points a game while dead

last nationally giving up 44.8 points and 

528.3 yards.  The Rams quarterback is

Hauss Hejny and he has passed for 1391

yards, 16 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.

Also has ran for three touchdowns as well.

Mel Brown the Rams number one running 

back missed last weeks game and is 

questionable for the Cougars game. Oliver

Lundberg Coleman made his first career 

start last week. He was the Rams third 

running back. He has rushed 27 times on

the season and last week nine times for

36 yards and had a 9 yard touchdown in

the first quarter. 

Reginald Vick is the Rams top receiver making

32 catches for 463 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Terrence Smith Jr is the second receiver

with 28 catches for 369 yards and 4  tds as

well. Jackson Harper is the slot receiver with 

27 catches for 351 yards and 2 touchdowns

so all three contribute. 

Juice Vereen is the number one tight  end.

He has 17 catches for 117 yards however

he is questionable against the Cougars.

This will be the 4th start when Owen Eshleman 

took over as the starting quarterback for the Cougars. He has done well though they

haven't won a game yet and we hope

this will be the one. The biggest issue is

Owen has been the primary runner for the

Cougars. Otherwords he has been the offense

on almost every play. Playing Colorado State 

the running backs will be able to get more

yards on the ground. Go Cougs. 

Duquesne Comeback Beat WSU Tuesday Night

The Washington State Cougars men's basketball 

team led most of Tuesday night game but lost

in the end 72-71 on the road. Earlier in the football 

season the Cougars won big so would think

this is a big deal for the college for them to

comeback and win.

The Cougars were leading 62-51 at 8 :37 

left on the game making they should wi

The Dukes made their move and at 2: 13

tied 69-69.  At 32 seconds Sebastian Adkins 

made a shot for the Cougars making it a

two point lead. At 12 seconds Karem Konan

made a layin and was fouled. He made the

foul shot for the win. Lazerek Houston went

for a shot with two seconds however missed it.

The Dukes are now 3-0 on the season while

the Cougars are 0-3. Both teams shot well 

behind the 3 point line. The Cougars made 

seven more three pointers however the Dukes

made ten more free throws.

Konan and Josh Smith who came off the 

bench each had 13 points for the Dukes.

They had three others that did too. The

 Cougars were led by freshman Jaylen Harrell 

with 19 points.  He made 7 out of 10 from

the field including 3 three pointers. Add a 

a couple free throws. Houston was next with

12 points. Shows the Cougars need how

to put a team away.

Next game on  Saturday at home against 

Northwest University. 

Where Randy Arozarena Go

We have come to the point knowing that

Randy Arozarena won't return to the Mariners 

and will sign as a free agent. As far as hitter

goes he is at the top of the list.  The Mariners 

could sign him as a free agent. The money

they save on Luis Castillo trade for a couple 

years remaining plus what he was paid for

the last couple years would cover it.

The Mariners have other issues on the team

plus how he got in the clubhouse with other 

players could be the reason for him not to

return. He might want to go to another team

that might have a better chance to make

the World Series and at the same time fit

in better.

I saw on social media that the Baltimore Orioles 

are interested in signing him. There could be

others in the American League East that might

as well. Will he sign as a dh only or still want 

to play in the field too. The dollars may  decide

the amount as well. When the Mariners were in

Boston playing the Red Sox could be another

suiter  as well.   Even if he plays the outfield 

now depending on the length of the contract 

he will be a dh more in the last years. 

News is showing that  JP Crawford won't 

return. A good idea or not.  At the current 

point the Mariners don't have a third baseman 

unless Brendan Donovan is considered the guy.

He is the one right now however picking up 

someone in a trade would be nice. The Mariners 

are looking for a right handed bat so would

that be the best for the Mariners at third base 

too.

The major league baseball general managers

meeting happening right now. Will the Mariners 

mske a trade. The meeting is over Thursday.

Will they announce another coach this week?

Stay tuned on the Mariners.  

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Monday Night

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team 

beat Mississippi Valley State at home 77-64.

The Huskies took it easy however Mississippi 

Valley State didi make it competitive though. 

The Huskies haven't been a great three point 

shooting team but right now it seems they 

will be a better one. Who they play will decide 

how often they will take threes. They tied

a team record making 17 3s  out of 50 attempts.

The Huskies had three players who scored in

double figures and did the most from 3 pt line.

Parker Freidrichsen led the Huskies with 17

points off the bench. He made 5 of 11 in 3s.

Ryan Beasley had 16 making 4 of 9 in 3s and

Steele Venters  had 15 going 5 of 13 in 3s.

Beasley and Venters both started. 

Mississippi Valley State stayed in the game

because scoring 15 more points at the foul

line. This means Huskies have to cut down 

on fouls and take more at the same time.

The Huskies dominated in rebounds with

47 to 24 by MVS. 

The Huskies next game is this coming

Saturday at Utah. This should be a harder

opponent and how good the Huskies are.

They are 2-0 and play Weber State Tuesday 

before facing the Huskies. Go Dawgs.

Seattle Mariners Hire Bench Coach

Thissst week after hiring the manager the

Mariners went out and hired  Tanner Swanson

as the bench.  What we know is he is a

native of Washington State and lives in

CLE Elem during the off-season. Also

he played baseball at Central Washington 

University and was at University of Washington 

as well. 

We know to is he was the catching coach

for the Yankees and now he is coming 

home. What we hope he knows baseball 

like the new manager and he thinks like him.

Next it will be who the next first baseball

coach. Will he be the infield or outfield 

coach as well. The Mariners will have to

hire one or the either. The Mariners have 

former team player who have worked with

the outfielders in the past or will they 

look outside the organization to fill the

positions too. 

Stay tuned and see. Next season will be

interesting and better we hope. Go M's.

Seahawks Take Care of Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks weren't able to

match the point spread however they

did what they had too. 

The Seahawks did the job after not

having a great game last Monday 

night in the loss to the Bears.

They were are to stop the Cardinals 

Seven they had to. This important 

in the 4th quarter when they stopped 

the Cardinals in the red zone with

it 4th and one. Had they scored still

had a chance though would have had

to get the ball back to tie. The Seahawks 

were able to run out the clock. 

The only thing the defense couldn't do

was recover any fumbles that the 

Cardinals offense had several.

The final score Seahawks 17 Cardinals 3

It was a tough day in a way for the Seahawks 

offense since Drew Lock wasn't totally 

healthy. They may had to us their third 

quarterback but Lock stuck it out. He may

have to play next week to. After that the 

Seahawks have a bye. It would help Darnold 

and Lock. 

The Cardinals scored first with the touchdown 

in the first quarter then in the second AJ Barner 

had the Seahawks two touchdown.   The 

Seahawks had a field goal in the 3rd quarter 

the only score in the second half. 

The Seahawks did well against the  Cardinals 

running game that has only. The Seahawks 

had 120 yards on the ground. Zach Charbonnet 

in his second game back had a good day. He

ran 16 times for 77 yards.  The Cardinals did

a good job on Jaxon Smith-Njigba who caught

seven passes for 51 yards. Jadarian Price 

though had only nine carries he had four catches

for 54  yards to lead the Seahawks for yardage 

in the air.  The game was about to 50 50  between 

the run and the air. 

The Seahawks will play the Las Vegas on the 

road.  They face the Seahawks Offensive 

Coordinator of last year and now Raiders 

head coach Klint Kubiak who is now 4-5

after losing to the 49ers 38-17.  The Raiders 

win their first three games but had struggled 

since going 1-5.   Go Seahawks.
