Preview Washington Huskies at Maryland

It won't be an easy task this coming

Saturday as the Huskies will play

at Maryland who are 4-0 on the season.

The Huskies lost on the road all last

season. They hope to turn their fortune 

around.

This will be the first time the Huskies

play Maryland in the Big Ten Conference.

The only other meeting was back on

Christmas Day in 1982 where the Huskies 

won 21-20 in the very first Aloha Bowl

in Hawaii.

Though Maryland is undefeated and

at home the Huskies are favored by

5.5 points. A bit of a surprise though

I haven't seen Maryland play this

season. 

The Maryland Terrapins are led 

offensevily by freshman quarterback 

Malik Washington. They have been

a passing team for most of these

four games. It is tough to win five

games in a row especially with a 

freshman quarterback might be

a good reason the Huskies are

favored. This should be a good 

game to watch.

The Huskies do run the ball more

then the Terrapins with 300 more

yards on the season while the

Terrapins have thrown on 90

more yards in the air. The difference 

could come down to a turnover.

The games is at 12:30 pm

Pacific Time. Go Dawgs!

Dodgers Sweep the Mariners

This series didn't mean a lot unless

you wanted the Mariners to be the 

number one seed. They grabbed 

the second seed when they swept 

the Rockies.

Final Dodgers 6 Mariners 1

Cal wasn't able to get another home

run in this series however the final

game he was able to drive in another

run.

The Mariners didn't have the whole

starting lineup either.  Arozarena 

scored the one run. Though he 

didn't hit well for September he does

look he is ready for the playoffs 

where he has success before. 

Julio wasn't in the game neither

was Canzone or Robles in the outfield.

They rested Josh Naylor once again.

Want to be sure he is ready to go on

Saturday. Mitch Garver caught Sunday

after Harry Ford did on Saturday. 

With the regular season over it is

the end of Root Sports. Hopefully 

means that cost of games will be 

less next season. Everyone in the 

booth will be back. Only Jen Mueller 

won't return. She does Seahawks 

games so see what else goes on

in the future for her..  The games

will be in hand of MLB. We hope 

most of the games will be on

local television. We will see. 

The Mariners will have first playoffs

at home all we have to wait to see

who they play. Go M's.

WSU Cougars Upset Colorado State On the Road

The Washington State Cougars beat

the Colorado State Buffaloes on their

home field Saturday 20-3. 

All the scoring happened in the first

half. Neither team scored in the second

half which is very unusual. 

The Buffaloes score first in their first

possession of the game  hitting a 

50 yard field goal.  The Cougars QB

Zevi Eckhaus threw a 35 yard touchdown 

pass on their first possession than

followed with a field goal.

In the second quarter the Cougars took

a 13-3 lead on a field goal in the second

quarter after getting the ball to the

Buffaloes eight yard line. 

The Buffaloes had a 4th down and a half 

yard to make a first down at midfield 

where the Cougars stopped them.

The turnover allowed Eckhaus to

throw a two yard touchdown to end

the scoring. The second half was 

all defense.

The Buffaloes for the first time in

85 games hadn't scored a touchdown 

at home and the first time since 

October 2006 the Cougars didn't 

give up a touchdown on the road.

The Cougars have a bye next

Saturday. They play at #13 ranked

Ole Miss on October 11 followed

by  Virginia on the road as well

on October 18. The only home

game in October will be on the

25th against Toledo. 

The Cougars now have a record of 3-2.

It won't be easy the rest of the way

however three more wins would get them

into a bowl game. Go Cougs!

 

 

Dodgers Win In The 9th Over M's

Both the Mariners and Dodgers 

are preparing for the playoffs.

The Mariners have second seed 

set already while Dodgers have

won the National League West.

The Mariners have a bye in the

first round while the Dodgers 

have to play in the wild card 

beginning on Tuesday.

The Dodgers won Saturday night 

with two runs in the top of the 9th.

Final score Dodgers 5 Mariners 3 

Logan Gilbert making his last start

before the playoffs went five innings.

The Dodgers hit a two-run homer  in 

the 5th. Jorge Polanco hit a three-run 

homer in the bottom of the 5th. 

Logan Evans just off the injured list

went three innings. The Dodgers tied

it in the 7th when Evans threw a wild

pitch. Evans role likely in the playoffs 

be throwing long relief. 

In the top of the 9th Andre Munoz 

walked two batters both scoring 

on a double.

Sunday afternoon the Mariners 

will have Bryce Miller making

the final start of the regular 

season. Miller will likely pitch

out of the bullpen as the Mariners 

will go with three or four starters

in the second round. 

Logan Gilbert could start the first

game with Luis Castillo in game

two. Castillo has pitched better 

at home than on the road. Giving

Bryan Woo more rest to pitch

game three. Game four will likely 

be George Kirby. Of course if there

is a 4th game. It goes the distance 

Gilbert will likely pitch game five.

Go M's 

Huskies Lose To Buckeyes

The first half was pretty close as 

neither team scored a point in the

first quarter then Buckeyes had

a touchdown in the second quarter 

and the Huskies a field goal.

Desmond Williams Jr.  threw well

in the first half completing 11 of 12

passes going to eight different 

relievers. 

The Buckeyes had another touchdown 

in the third quarter while Huskies had

another field goal. Unfortunately the

Buckeyes scored ten points in the 4th 

quarter while the Huskies were shutout.

Final  Ohio State 24 Huskies 6

This ends the Huskies 22 game winning streak.

In all Desmond was 18 for 22 for 173

yards.   The Buckeyes sacked Desmond 

six times which didn't help for sure.

Ohio State is one of four teams that 

are undefeated in the Big Ten each

with a 4-0 record. 

Next Saturday Huskies are playing 

at Maryland. They are undefeated 

as well. They have this  Saturday

off. 

We wish the Huskies a return to 

winning games. Go Dawgs!

Preview Ohio State at Washington

The Ohio State Buckeyes are favored 

to beat the Washington Huskies with

a 8.5 at this time. This would end the

Huskies 22 game winning streak at home. 

The Huskies are perfect scoring in

red zone so they haven't been stopped 

yet. As we know they haven't played

anyone like the Buckeyes yet however 

is something positive at this point.

The Buckeyes have scored 121 points

so far on the season. They beat Texas

who were ranked number one before 

the season in this first game 14-7.

They followed up beating Grambling 

70-0. 

They beat Ohio 36-7 the week before.

They had a bye last Saturday.

Mariners Lose Opener To Dodgers

Friday night the Mariners lost 3-2 to

the Dodgers in the opening game

series to the Dodgers in Seattle.

Most of the Mariners starting position 

players were in the night. Dominic 

Canzone was in right instead of Robles.

Arozarena who had two hits scored

on a run on a fielding error with Julio

ending at second. Julio was walked 

three times. Cal had a couple hits though

no home runs. Canzone had the final

run scored in the 8th inning.

Naylor dh while Luke Raley played first.

Most likely where he will be in the playoffs 

if he doesn't pinch hit. Cole Young was

at second while Polanco had the game 

off. Likely see him at second or dh for

one of the final two games.

George Kirby pitched five innings giving

up a two run homer early on. Bazardo 

followed on giving up the third run.

Kirby struck out ten while walking three.

He might be in the first playoff round

depending whether Woo is ready to go. 

We likely see Gilbert and Castillo in

the first round the Mariners play starting 

next Saturday. Go M's.

Seahawks Win With No Time Left

The prediction was this would be a

close one and it was 

Final Seahawks 23 Cardinals 20

The Seahawks almost blew a two

touchdown lead in the 4th quarter.

At least the Seahawks had a two 

touchdown lead. 

The Cardinals left a lit bit of time

left after they tied the game. The

Seahawks were able to make some

plays to put them in position to

kick a field goal. The Seahawks 

actually missed a field goal before

the Cardinals tied it. At least this

is good news.

Personally I think it would be nice

to not kick any field goals in the

last two minutes of regulation or

in overtime. I am sure I will never

get my wish though.

The Seahawks are now second place

by themselves at 3-1 and have the

most points scored in the division

right now anyway. The Rams could 

after four games have more than the

Seahawks.

The 49ers are now 3-0. They have 

scored ten more points than apponents

in all three total. 

It is amazing the Baltimore Ravens

have scored the same total as the 

Seahawks in three games however

they are 1-2. There defense not as

good as it is usually.

The Seahawks next game is at home

on October 5 against Tampa Bay. We 

will see several former Huskies on that

team.

The Mariners look like they will sweep 

the Rockies. They had already clinched 

the second seed so they won't have to

play the first round.  The first game 

will be in Seattle a week from Saturday.

The season ends on Sunday. The Mariners will be able to rest some of their starters. 

Emerson Hancock went four innings 

without giving up a run in starting.

We hope that Woo will be ready for

the playoffs.  Go M's.

Preview Washington State at Colorado State

The Washington State Cougars are now

2-2 heading into the last game of September.

College football always seems to go by

fast until the bowl games.

The Cougars have rough losses in the

last two outings against North Texas

and Washington Huskies.  The Apple 

Cup the Cougars offense did look better

for three quarters. Can't say for the 

defense.

The Cougars are doing better than their

counterpart in the Pac-12 the Oregon 

State Beavers who are 0-4.

The game is at Colorado State where 

they are favored 5.5 points over Cougars.

We hope the Cougars can find a way

to win. CSU will be joining the Pac-12 

next season so for the foreseeable 

future they will face each other.

We hope a few years down the road

there will be an Easter Conference 

and. Western Conference. If so

they both will be split in half as well.

We hope the Cougars will join in.

Colorado State lost their season opener

to the Huskies 38-21.   Their following 

were close games  beating Northern 

Colorado 21-17 then lost to USTA 17-16. 

A good reason this is expected to be 

close too. The UST game they scored 

with a few seconds remaining. The 

Buffaloes went for a two point conversation 

that failed for the difference.

Jackson Brosseau who came into the

game last week is expected to start 

against the Cougars.   He was 10 of

12 for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Colorado State ran for 153 yards.

It is important the Cougars have no

turnovers. Also they need to run

better than they have on the season

so far. The most important is the

defense do a better job. Go Cougs!

Mariners Clinch Division

Wednesday night the Seattle Mariners 

clinched the West Division beating

the Colorado Rockies 9-2.

The Mariners have one more game

against the Rockies on Thursday. 

They sweep the Rockies they will

end the season as the second 

best record this would mean have

home field advantage. 

The Mariners had five home runs

including two by Cal Raleigh making 

him tied with Babe Ruth for 60.

That is more than amazing or

awesome. The Mariners have four

more games so how many more 

will Cal hit. We will see. 

Luis Castillo pitched great going

seven and two-thirds innings. 

He got 22 of the 23 batters he

faced out.  Gave up a home run

for the only run. He struck out

ten batters.

Cal had his first home run in the

first inning followed by Julio for

the third time back to back 

Polanco had the third home run

in the inning. Geno Suarez had

a home run as well as Cal's 

second.

Bryan Woo won't start Thursday 

so not sure who will start. We

could see Harry Ford behind the

plate. The Mariners only need 

one win in the final four games

to get the second seed.  

Stay tuned for more better days.

Go M's.

Mariners Head To Playoffs

For the second time in 24 years the

Seattle Mariners clinched a spot to

the spot in the playoffs. 

Final Mariners 4 Rockies 3

For seven innings the Rockies led

most of the way. In the eight inning

the Mariners loaded the bases and

Josh Naylor hit a double to clear

the bases. Nothing better unless 

it was a grand slam home run.

In recent games the Mariners have 

shown hitting doubles is as important 

as home runs and might even be more

exciting. For those who were around

30 years ago when Edgar Martinez

hit a double to score Ken Griffey Jr. 

to advance to the next level of the

playoffs. We hope this time the M's 

can make it all the way to the World 

Series.

The Mariners right now have the healthiest 

they have been all season long. The

pitching be the best all season long.

We hope with rest Bryan Woo will be

ready to go.  

Bryce Miller went five and two-thirds 

innings giving up the three runs. The

bullpen did their job to keep them

in the game giving up just two hits.

Andre Munoz had another save.

The Mariners had only three hits 

however walks worked into the 

equation for the win.

Wednesday night which should be

loud Luis Castillo will go for the

Mariners. If he pitches anywhere 

like he did in his last outing the

Mariners may clinch the division 

title. Go M's. 

Preview Seahawks at Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals are 1.5 favorites

over the Seahawks. I guess some didn't 

see the win at Pittsburgh.

The Seahawks the way they have played 

the last two weeks with some missing 

pieces I will still put them  for the  win.

The Seahawks have the history of 

playing well on national television and

this is a Thursday night game.

Sunday the Cardinals lost to the 49ers

by one so I give them credit on that one.

The difference though the 49ers  kicked 

a field goal with no time left.  Both teams

had one touchdown each. 

Kyler Murray was 22 of 35 passing for

159 yards and one touchdown. Trey 

Benson led the Cardinals with 42 yards 

on ten carries. In all did have more

yardage on the ground than the 49ers.

The 49ers had 284 yards in the air.

Mike MacDonald said in his press 

conference on Monday he is looking

to improve the running game. If so

the Seahawks should win. Go Hawks!

Mariners Sweep Astros

The Seattle Mariners came to Houston 

and did the job needed. They now have

a three game lead with six remaining 

at home. They have Monday off then

play three against the Colorado Rockies

and finish the regular season with

three against the  Dodgers at home.

Sunday final  Mariners 7 Astros 3

The Mariners scored all seven runs

in the second inning. The big hit

was JP Crawford grand slam home run.

It ended with Cal Raleigh two-run

homer his 58th of the season. Two

more he will be the 4th American 

League player of all-time to hit 60 

home runs.

Logan Gilbert went six innings giving

up three hits including a home run

in the third  inning. Caleb Ferguson 

followed giving up a run in a third of 

an inning. Vargas went one and two-

thirds while giving up a home run.

Brash pitched the 9th giving up one

hit. 

The Mariners are now 87-69. The

starters have not been announced

yet against the Rockies yet. Follow

along Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo 

may as they pitched in the series 

against the Royals. As soon they

clinch they will set for the playoffs.

Go M's. 

Seahawks Blow the Saints Out of the Water

The Seahawks beat the New Orleans 

Saints 44-13. 

The game almost over in the first

quarter.  Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught

a 12 yard touchdown pass shortly

after  the Saints defense was

charged a personal foul. . This was 

under ten minutes mark in the first

quarter. Less than two minutes later

Tory Hunter ran back a 95 yard punt

for a touchdown. A little more than

three minutes later Ken Walker lll 

had a 3 yard run. Making it 21-0.

Early second quarter the Saints kicked

a field goal. About 90 seconds later

Tory Hunter had a 14 yard touchdown

pass. Ken Walker lll had his second 

touchdown of the first half. Seahawks 

and Saints each kicked a field goal.

Halftime score Seahawks 38-6.

The third quarter the Seahawks had two 

field goals. The Saints had a touchdown 

in the fourth quarter.. Seahawks win. 

Sam Darnold played well going 14 of 18

thrown in through the air for 218 yards and two touchdowns.

Interesting the Saints had same yardage 

hose threw the ball twice as much.

The Seahawks have a short week to get

ready to play this Thursday against the 

Arizona Cardinals.   They lost to the 49er

by one. The 49ers are 3-0. Go Hawks.

Mariners Win Huskies Win

The Seattle Mariners won game

two and has the tiebreaker for

the division with a score of 6-4.

Eugenio Suarez continues to 

heat up driving in the first run

in the first inning scoring Julio

who had walked. In the second 

Inning Josh Naylor singled then

stole second base went to third

on Mitch Garver on a fly ball.

Robles hit a sacrifice fly to score 

Naylor.

The third run in the third inning

made Mariners history with

Cal solo home run breaking the

tie with Junior Griffey. 

In the 5th inning with the bases

loaded Josh Naylor walked

scoring  Cal. Julio scored the

second run when Canzone hit

a sharp line drive to right field.

Canzone pinch hit for dh Mitch 

Garver.  In the 7th Suarez and

Polanco each hit a double  to

score another run..

The bottom of the 7th became

interesting with the Astros hitting 

a grand slam home run to make it

interesting however neither scored

a run in the 8th or 9th 

George Kirby pitched good going

six innings with no walks and 7l

strike outs. Vargas gave up the

grand to the Astros. Bazardo and

Speier pitched the 8th. Munoz

took care of the 9th.  Go M's.

The Washington Huskies won the

Apple Cup beating Cougars 59-24.

The game was interesting and close

until  the 4th quarter when they scored 

four touchdowns for 28-0.

Desmond Williams Jr. had a good

job throwing the ball completing 

16 of 19 for 298 yards and 4 tds.

He led the Huskies rushing carry 

the 13 times for 88 yards and one 

touchdown. Jonah Coleman had

12 carries for 59 yard. Though he

had two touchdowns. 

The Huskies play Ohio State

at home next Saturday afternoon.

They may have to have another 

4th quarter to win. 

The   Cougars will play at  Colorado

State next Saturday late afternoon. 

Go teams.

 

Mariners Shutout Astros

The Seattle Mariners got off to a

good start in Houston beating

the Astros 4-0.

All four of the Mariners runs were

solo home runs.  They were spread

out in the game which can be tough.

Julio Rodriguez hit the first home

run in the first inning. Eugenio Suarez 

had the second in the 4th inning.

Victor Robles had his first home run

on the season in the 7th and Josh

Naylor in the 8th.

Bryan Woo was pitching an outstanding 

game however came out after the 5th

inning feeling soreness in his arm.

He had given up only one, one walk, 

and struck out seven.

Eduardo Bazardo came in pitched

the six and seventh innings without 

giving up a hit.  Matt Brash rebound

by giving up only one hit. Andre 

Munoz finished the game with one

hit.

The Mariners now have game two 

on Saturday so got the toughest

one out of the way. Be good if they

can take care of this game as well.

Go M's. 

Mariners Shutout Royals

Luis Castillo pitched a good game for 

one of the most important wins on the

season so far.

Final Mariners 2 Royals 0

The Mariners and Astros are tied 

again for first place as they head

to face each other beginning Friday.

One of the other will be in first place

heading into the final six games of

the regular season. 

Castillo went six innings giving up

three hits, no walks and three strike 

outs. Bazardo, Speier and Munoz

finished up. It was Munoz 36th save

of the season.

The Mariners had only five hits. The

first run happened in the second 

inning when Polanco  hit a double 

scoring Josh Naylor. It seems every 

time up we should expect a double.

It was the only run scored until the

8th inning when Victor Robles scored

on a double by JP Crawford.  Dominic Canzone got on base for a shift violation 

by the Royals. Something that doesn't 

happen often.  Robles pinch ran for

Robles. 

The Mariners have nine  games

remaining in the season.   Go M's. 

Preview New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks now 1-1 on the season 

take on the New Orleans Saints this

Sunday at home. The Seahawks are

favored by 7.5. 

The Saints have 10-6 record over the

Seahawks. They were better back in 

the day. The last time they played 

was in 2022 when the Saints won

39-32 at home.

The Saints are 0-2 on the season.

This could be the reason the Seahawks 

are favored and at home. 

The Saints quarterback is Spencer Rattler

who was 25 of 34  in the loss against the

49ers in the 26-21 lose last Sunday.  He

had two touchdown throws. 

Alvin Kamara is the Saints starting running

back and primary runner. He had 21 carries

for 99 yards. It will be important that the

Seahawks not give up big runs to him.

My opinion is the Seahawks are a someway 

bend and not break deference. It will be

important to put the Saints in third and

long situations. Turnovers could be the

key to the win. This would be for both

teams. 

The 49ers three more than they ran 

against the Saints however the

Seahawks should set running the

ball to setup the pass. 

The Seahawks won by two touchdowns 

against the Steelers by dominating the

4th quarter. The Seahawks need to  do

the same against the Saints. Having at

least a touchdown lead  going into the

4th quarter. This way the offense and

defense don't play conservative.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Streak Ends

The Seattle Mariners lost  Wednesday

night  7 to 5  to the KC Royals.

The Royals scored three runs in the

first inning then the Mariners scored

two in the second inning. The  score 

stayed that way until the 7th win

the Mariners tied it with a run. In the

8th the Mariners scored another run

go take the lead briefly. It gave hope 

the Mariners would keep the streak

alive.

Unfortunately Matt Brash who has had

great season gave up four runs in the 

bottom of the 8th. The Mariners scored

one run in the top of the 9th and that was

it.

Now we have to see if the Mariners 

can win Thursday night and start a

new streak.  Go M's!

Mariners Ten Game Winning Streak

It isn't easy to have a ten game 

winning streak that included 

extra innings games. 

Right now we could say the 

Mariners are already in the

playoffs where every game 

seems to count. 

The Mariners have been hitting 

a lot of doubles as well as 

home runs during this streak. 

Jorge Polanco has 28 doubles 

on the season which 11 has 

happened in September. His

batting average is .392 this

month compared to April 

where he looked hot at the

plate hitting .378. We hope it

keeps going the rest of the 

season.

 Julio Rodriguez is hitting .316

in September with seven doubles

and four home runs while driving 

in 15 runs. Cal who now is now 

tied with Ken Griffey Jr.  for most

homes in a season for the Mariners.

He is hitting.309 for September with

3 doubles, six home runs and has

drive in 11 runs. This exactly the

same number for walks and strike

outs.

In the pitch department Logan Gilbert 

has an era of 3.93 in his last seven

starts. In thirty-six and two-thirds 

innings he has walked eight while

striking out 46. George Kirby has

been inconsistent all season with

his last start on September 14th 

being the best of the month where

he went six and one-third innings

giving up two runs.

Bryan Woo who has been the best  

pitcher on the Mariners this season 

and became an all-star September 

has been his worst month with three

starts however still good at 3.71 era.

Bryce Miller who will start Wednesday 

evening has struggled in September 

after  coming off the injured list in

mid August we hope his best performance 

for the year and backed up by the offense.

Luis Castillo has had his up and downs 

all season had rough outing in his

first outing in September has given up

only one run in each of his last two

starts. We hope that he pitches well 

again in his next start. The bullpen 

has done well in this  ten game streak

for the most part. The high leverage 

guys have been outstanding while the

other guys have done ok so if the team

can continue to do what they have 

then we hope to see a division title 

or at least as a wild card. Go M's. 

Mariners Win Big In Opening Game Plus Cal Hits More home runs

The Mariners got off to fast start in this opening game  of the  series and road 

trip. 

Final Mariners 12 Royals 5

Not only did the Mariners win they

knocked the Kansas City Royals

out of the playoffs. It would have 

been  tough for the Royals to make 

it since they would have to win all

the remaining games of the regular 

season.

Cal Raleigh had a double plus back 

to back home runs to break Mickey 

Mantle  record for home runs for a 

switch  hitter in baseball history. He 

hit a home run  both left handed and 

right handed. Now he has tied Ken 

Griffey Jr. with 56 home runs for the Mariners. 

Cal wasn't the only one with a big 

night. Dominic Canzone who was 

at dh with Polanco at second base 

and Victor Robles  in right field.  

Canzone had his greatest night 

going 5 for 5 with three home 

runs.

Now the Mariners have a ten game 

winning  streak. Logan Gilbert went 

five and two-thirds giving up two runs.  

With a big lead he didn't really need 

to pitch longer.  The Mariners  used 

five relievers. Bryce Miller will start 

on Wednesday.  Go M's. 

Preview For the Apple Cup

The Washington Huskies had this

last weekend off to prepare for 

the Apple Cup and WSU Cougars

were blown out of the water.

The Huskies are a 20.5 favorite 

even though the game is being 

played in Pullman. 

We know the Apple Cup anything 

can happen. Last year the Cougars 

won at Lumen Field 24-19. The

Huskies are looking to take the

Cougars down. 

The Huskies are rushing just over

303 yards a game. I am sure like

the game they will be putting the

rushing game in the hands of

Jonah Coleman. 

The Cougars have a new coach 

and many new players who have

not played in the Apple Cup so

a reason the Huskies are favored.

After last week's big loss at North

Texas will make it tough on the

Cougars this week to. 

The Cougars strength is in the

passing game. Who will be the

starting quarterback hasn't been 

decided yet.

We wish both teams the best

in the Apple Cup. 

Seahawks And Mariners Win

The Seattle Seahawks upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17.

The first quarter was pretty close with

Troy  Horton  scoring a touchdown first

the Seahawks the the defense allowed

two field goal. In the second goal former

Seahawk DK Metcalf had a touchdownanf they made a two point conversation to

make it 14-7.

Third quarter was quiet with Seahawks 

tight end AJ Barner tying the game 14-14.

The fourth quarter began with a Jason

Myers field goal for the Seahawks.

A mistake  by the Steelers special teams 

the Seahawks had a touchdown.

The Steelers had another field goal to

come within a touchdown  however 

Ken Walker lll had a 19 yard run at the 

3:41 mark in the ball game.

Ken Walker let the Seahawks rushing 

with 105 yards on 13 carries. Charbonnet 

had 15 carries however for ten yards.

Both team quarterbacks had 33 throws

however Sam Darnold completed four

more completions for 295 yards to 

Aaron Rodgers 203 and one more touchdown.

Both had two interceptions. 

Now the Seahawks 1-1 and will play the

Saints at home next Sunday. Go Hawks.

The Seattle Mariners end up sweeping 

the Angels Sunday after winning 11-2.

George Kirby rebounded going six and

one-third innings giving up three hits, two

runs, no walks and had a career high 14

strike outs. The two runs were both on

solo home runs.

Speaking of home runs Cal Raleigh had

his 54th of the season in the first inning 

tying Mickey Mantle with the most home

runs by a switch-hitter in major league 

 baseball history with Randy Arozarena 

on the base paths. 

In the third inning Cal after singling 

scored on a double by Julio.. After

stealing third base Julio scored on

Josh Naylor sacrifice fly. Jorge Polanco 

having his first of three doubles scored

on a Canzone single to make it three

more runs.

In the fourth inning the Mariners had

six more runs to close out the scoring

for them on the night. JP Crawford 

started with a single. Cal walked and

Julio had another double. After JP

scored Josh Naylor single scoring 

both Cal and Julio. Naylor goes to

third on Polanco double and both score

on Canzone single. Rivas walks and Crawford hits a double scoring Canzone. 

In all the Mariners had a team record 

seven doubles. I said before that the

Mariners could hit a lot of doubles in

T-Mobile Park.

Emerson Hancock pitched one and two-thirds innings after coming in for Kirby. Gave up

just one hit. Legunmina who recently was

called up again pitched the 9th to close

out the game..

The Mariners have Monday off before facing

the Royals in Kansas City. For the Royals to have a chance in the playoffs they have

to sweep the Mariners. Let's take care of 

that on Tuesday so it won't happen.

The Astros lost Sunday so the . Mariners 

are up by one game.e in the playoffs. 

The Astros are home against the Rangers

for three  before facing the Mariners.

It woulf be nice if the Rangers beat the

Astros ateast two out of three games as

they are three behind the Mariners right

now..

Mariners Take Series

Saturday night the Mariners took

the series winning 5-3 and still 

tied with the Astros.

The Mariners scored two runs in

the first inning. Jorge Polanco 

continues to hit a lot of doubles

recently this time driving in Cal

Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez.

The Angels scored two in the

top of the third to tie including 

a home run.

In the 4th JP hit a home run.

In the 5th Josh Naylor hit a

single scoring Cal and Julio.

The Angels scored a final run

in the 9th however came up

short.

Bryan Woo went six innings 

giving up the first two runs

however struck out 13 Angels.

Now we see if the Mariners will

sweep the Angels on Sunday 

afternoon.  Go M's. 

WSU Cougars Lose Big Time

North Texas beat the Cougars 59-10.

Not something expected even if a loss

was in the cards.

With a new coaching staff and lot 

of new players will this happen 

more often or a loss like this won't 

help.

Will there be changes on the offense 

or the defense for that matter.

A good thing is it is only the third game

of the season. How will it be for the

Cougars heading into the Apple Cup

next week. Rival games are usually 

different than any other game so will

the Cougars make it to be a turnaround 

or not.

The Cougars had two fumbles and

three interceptions in the game which

didn't help. Jaxon Potter who started

at QB for the Cougars completed 16

of 2e passes for 139 yards with no

touchdowns and three interceptions.

Zevi Eckhaus who many Cougar fans

I am sure thought would be the starter

at QB came in and completed 7 of 10

for 72 yards didn't throw a touchdown 

either. He did have a touchdown running

in with 1:57 left in the game..With a

new coaching staff who became QB 

was a choice. Now we wonder whether 

a change happen in the Apple Cup.

North Texas had eight touchdowns

on the day with four on the ground

and four in the air. The longest run

for a touchdown was 14  yards while

12 was longest in the air. So how

many was the major problem. 

Now the Cougars will have to see whether 

they can have a confidence builder

or not against the Huskies next week.

Look At Former Washington Huskies In NFL Part 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers 

They have two players who will 

be facing the Seahawks in game 

two. 

Troy Fautanu first round pick

last year is the starting right

tackle. He missed all of last 

season after ga.e one. We hope

better this season. According 

to Fautanu they need to protect

quarterback Aaron Rodgers better.

Let's make it after the Seahawks 

game.

Carson Bruener inside linebacker 

was drafted seventh round this

season. He is a backup however 

is known for being good on

special teams.

San Francisco 49ers

Sebastian Valdez defensive tackle 

signed originally as a non drafted 

free agent. He currently is on the

practice squad.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Devin Culp seventh round pick last year

is the fourth tight end so how much he

plays we will see.

Greg Gaines backup nose tackle is 

now in his third season with the Bucs.

Jalen McMillan wide receiver  was

hurt during the preseason with 

neck injury is sidelined for at least 

the first eight games. 

Cade Otton one of the top Husky

tight ends of all-time is the Bucs

starting tight end. 

Vita Vea now is in his eight season 

as the Bucs starting nose tackle. 

Now this is all the former Huskies 

in the NFL.  Let you know how they

do throughout the season. 

Mariners Beat Angels Again

It didn't take a lot of offense Friday

night however just enough to win.

Mariners 2 Angels 1

The Mariners are still tied with the

Astros as they beat the Braves 11 to

3.

Luis Castillo went six innings plus 

giving up one run in the 7th inning 

without any outs.

The Mariners scored first in the 4th

with a double by Polanco scoring Cal 

Raleigh. Polanco has been hitting with

a lot of power lately.

The Mariners won in the seventh 

when Mitch Garver hit a home

run.  The bullpen has done a great

job during this seven game winning

streak. Carlos Vargas who came in

for Castillo gave up the lone hit however

struck out three. Speier and Munoz 

finished it off. 

Now we see if the Mariners can

Best the Angels once again. Go M's.

Preview Seattle Seahawks at Pittsburgh

The Seahawks look to play in another

close game this Sunday.  The Steelers 

are favored by a field goal.

The Seahawks  will likely have  safety 

rookie Nick Emmanwori miss being

taken out  of last week's game. Hopefully 

he won't be out long. Fellow safety 

Julian Love didnt practice either howeve

they make  every that he will play..

Cornerback Devon Witherspoon the

Seahawks defender missed practice 

to but they will try to play him.  The 

Steelers missed four players out of 

practice. 

Last week the Steelers won 34-32 

over the New York Jets. The Steelers 

though let the Jets run for 182 yards.

We should see the Seahawks establish

the run early. 

The Steelers now having Aaron Rodgers

at quarterback back passed the ball 

a lot more than running. The Seahawks 

gave up more yardage last week against

the 49ers  in the air.  The Steelers will

probably try to do the same thing.

It will be important for the Seahawks 

to win since they don't want to be 

down 0-2 on the season. Go Hawks!

Mariners Move Into a Tie

Thursday night for the second game

in a row the Seattle Mariners won

in extra innings going twelve innings.

This time against the LA Angels.

Final Mariners 7 Angels 6

The Mariners scored first in the second

inning with four runs including a double

by red hot Julio Rodriguez.  The Angels

had a home run in the third, followed 

by two runs in the 4th and a home run

by Mike Trout in the 5th. 

The Angels have been tough on the

Mariners the last couple of years.

Neither team scored again until

the 11th each getting a run. The

Angels had a run in the top of the

12th. JP Crawford hit a double to

tie the game. Harry Ford pinch hit

for the pitcher and had a sacrifice 

fly to win the game. 

The Houston Astros lost to the 

Toronto Blue Jays 6-0 on Thursday 

night on the road. Now they play 

Friday through Sunday at Atlanta 

against the Braves while the

Mariners continue against the

Angels at home.

Next week after having Monday

off the Mariners are on their 

final road trip of the regular 

season. They play the Royals

in Kansas City followed by the 

Astros in Houston. This division 

title may come down to this

series. 

The Texas Rangers are two games

behind the Mariners and the Astros

so they have a chance to get in as

well. The rest of the way will be

interesting and we hope the Mariners 

continue playing winning ball the

rest of the way. Go M's.

Mariners Win Extra Innings

The Mariners who haven't done

well in extra innings this season 

end up beating the St. Louis 

Cardinals in 13 innings.

Final Mariners 4 Cardinals 2 

Cardinals hit a home run in

the first inning and Dominic 

Canzone  hit a sacrifice fly

to tie in the second inning.

Neither team scored again

until the 11th when both 

scored a run. In the 13th 

Leo Rivas hit a walk off

two-run homer. It was only

his second of the year and

career. The time he has 

spent with the Mariners he 

has had a good time. He

currently is hitting .278.

Logan Gilbert who started

only went four and two-thirds 

innings giving up the one 

run and he struck out right.

The Mariners used six relievers.

Only Bazardo, Brash and Munoz

didn't pitch.

Emerson Hancock pitched the

last two innings and recorded

the win. Sounds like he is 

getting the idea of relief pitching.

The bullpen did a great job

giving up on my three hits and

one run. 

Now the Mariners swept the

Cardinals in three games and

have won five games in a row.

The Mariners now face the 

Angels for four games at T-Mobile 

Park.  We hope this winning

will continue on. Go M's.

Preview WSU Cougars at North Texas

This will be the first meeting between 

the two schools. North Texas is a

slight favorite so it looks to be a

close game .

The game will be at 12:30 pm

Pacific time and can be seen on

ESPN.

Like WSU,  North Texas is 2-0 as

well. Their opening game they won

51-0 over Lamar followed by beating

Western Michigan 33-30 on the

road. Western Michigan usually 

is a good team.

North Texas known as Mean Green 

quarterback Drew Mestermaker threw

33 passes and completed 18 for 224

yards with two touchdowns.

Both teams had running backs that

ran for over 100 yards though Western Washington ran the ball more than they 

passed. 

North Texas won in overtime. Western Michigan scored first with a touchdown 

then North Texas had a touchdown to

win. 

The Mean Green runs and passes about

equally so the Cougars will have to see

about stopping both. The Cougars on

the other hand is more of a passing team

though they ran better in game two then

against Idaho  in the opener.  

This should be a good game to watch 

and to see the Cougars heading into 

Apple Cup. Go Cougs!

Look at former Washington Huskies in NFL part 2

Indianapolis Colts

You could say injuries continue for

former Huskies. Salvon Ahmed who

began his career as a backup running

back who signed with the Colts after

not playing last season injured his ankle 

will be out for the season.

Kansas City Chiefs 

Trent McDuffie has been a pro bowler

at cornerback on a super bowl and AFC

championship team. We wish him

another great year.

LA Chargers

Will Dissly will be at tight end for the

second season after spending six

years with the Seattle Seahawks.

Last year he had 50 receptions for

481 yards and two touchdowns.

We wish him another good year.

Elijah Molden who had a good career

at Washington will be the backup

at free safety. This will be his second 

season with the Chargers after being

with Tennessee Titans for three years 

Last year he had 50 tackles and three 

interceptions.

Los Angeles  Rams

Coleman Shelton is the starting center 

for the Rams. Last year he spent with

the Chicago Bears. Before  that he 

was with the Rams. His first three seasons 

he was a reserve before becoming a

starter in 2022. 

Minnesota  Vikings 

Bryan Murphy  cornerback was  an early second

round pick in 2019 by the Arizona Cardinals 

where he played  four years primarily  as a 

starter.  He now begins his third year with

the Vikings as a starter.

New England Patriots 

Ja'Lynn Polk was  drafted last year in the

Nfl draft by the Patriots in the second rounId.

He was a successful  receiver for the 2023

season  for the  Huskies when they went

to the NCAA championship game. He started 

seven of the fifteen  games he played in 

last season. Unfortunately  like some other

former Huskies he is going to miss the season 

after  undergoing  surgery  on a shoulder.

Jack Westover  who made the  Huskies as a

walkon had an excellent  season in 2023

didn't  make the Seahawks  in 2024 after

signing as an undrafted free agent.  He did

sign on the Patriots practice squad and

ended up playing in three games. This

year he made the Patriots  52 player roster.

He is listed as the teams lone fullback.

We could  see him at tight end as well. 

Next time Part 3 will be the remaining 

former Huskies.  Throughout  the

season  we will see how  some are doing. 

Go Dawgs!

Mariners Win Again

George Kirby struggled once

again going four innings while

throwing 85 pitches and giving 

up three runs to the Cardinals.

The Cardinals scored first

with two runs in the second 

inning.  Randy Arozarena 

hit a three-run homer in the

third to take the lead. The

Cardinals tied it in the top

of the 4th. Josh Naylor 

hit a solo home run in

the 4th. Also Arozarena 

hit a sacrifice fly. No.more

scoring after that.

Caleb Ferguson came in the 

5th followed by Bazardo and

Speier who all didn't give up

a hit. Matt Brash gave up a

hit in the 8th however struck

out three. Munoz finished 

giving up a hit and a strike

to close it off.

The Mariners have now won

four in a row. Wednesday 

the Mariners will see about

sweeping the Cardinals.

Final Mariners 5 Cardinals 3

Toronto Blue Jays walked off

beating the Astros. The  M's 

are now down by one game 

to the Astros.  Go M's. 

Mariners Come From Behind Win

The Mariners one another key win

now winning three in a row. 

Final Mariners 4 Cardinals 2

Opening game of the series and

homestand by the Mariners. Very

important at this stage of the season. 

Bryan Woo started and went six innings

Monday night. He gave up a two run 

homer in the 4th inning. The Mariners 

rallied scoring four runs  in the sixth.

That was it on the night.

Leo Rivas starting at second base

walked then went to third on Arozarena

singled. The Cardinals changed pitchers

who.walked Cal Raleigh. Julio hit

a hard one off the glove of the Cardinals 

shortstop to score Rivas. Josh Naylor 

hit a double scoring Arozarena and 

Cal. Julio tried to score however was 

out at the plate.  Naylor stole third then

Polanco hit a long sacrifice fly that

almost went out to score Naylor.

Matt Brash came in the 7th followed 

by Bazardo and Munoz. The bullpen 

didn't give up a hit.

Now we hope that the Mariners can.

win Tuesday night and win the series.

Thursday the  Mariners start a four

game series at home against the 

Angels. We hope the Mariners have

more success against them than

recently. 

The Mariners have next Monday off

and go to Kansas City for three 

followed by three at Houston on

the last road trip of the regular 

season.

Second baseman Ryan Bliss who 

was injured early on the season 

got hurt this weekend at Tacoma 

on a rehab assignment. He is lost

for the season and had to have surgery.

We wish him the best on continued

rehab during the off-season..

 

Seahawks Lose Opener

The Seattle Seahawks remind me of the

Mariners where they miss out on

opportunities. 

In the last two minutes the Seahawks 

were ahead 13-10. The 49ers scored

when another turnover was possible 

however  Woolen wasn't able to bat 

the ball away instead went into the

arms of the receiver.

The Seahawks had an opportunity to 

win after a long pass completed to

Jaxon Smith-Njigba.  Sam Darnold 

had a  ball deflicked in which int

was called a fumble and recovered 

by the 49ers.

This was a good opportunity for the

Seahawks to win however can't 

make . mistakes late in the game. 

The 49ers had more yards on the ground

and in the air. They had the ball 15  more 

minutes. The Seahawks were lucky to be

 in the game however should have pulled 

it out.

The Seahawks play the Steelers in Pittsburgh 

next week.  The Steelers beat the Jets in

New York 34-32. 

Mariners Blow Out Braves

The Mariners certainly know how to 

get out of a slump on the road. 

Final Mariners 18 Braves 2

Luis Castillo who has struggled on

the mound recently went six innings 

giving up four hits and a run on a homer.

Newly acquired Jose Castillo from the

New York Mets on waivers, Emerson 

Hancock, and Luke Jackson finished 

the game. The bullpen should be ready 

for the series against the Cardinals at

home.

The Mariners first run scored in the

second inning when Mitch Garver

hit a triple driving in Josh Naylor.

The blowout started in the third inning

when the Mariners scored right runs.

Mariners had a run scored in the sixth.

The Mariners final blow was scoring

seven runs in the ninth inning. It

included Cal Raleigh's  53rd home run.

Harry Ford got in again and scored.

a run in the 9th. 

What I have never remembered before

the Mariners first five players in the

lineup drive in three runs each. 

Bryan Woo is scheduled to start on

Monday against the Cardinals follow

by George Kirby and Logan Gilbert.

For the Mariners to have the best chance

to make the playoffs they need to win

at least two games. Go M's.

Cougars and Huskies Both Win

WSU Cougars and Washington Huskies 

are both 2-0 now heading into week 3.

The Cougars will be on the road next

Saturday at North Texas while the 

Huskies have a bye.

The Cougars offense played much 

better on Saturday then the week 

before.

The final  WSU 36 San Diego State 13

SDSU scored first on a 36 yard pass 

at then ten minutes mark of the first 

quarter. It was pretty much the Cougars

after that scoring 29 unanswered points.

Almost five minutes later the Cougars

tied the game at seven on a 3 yard 

pass from QB Jaxon Potter to receiver

Trey Leckner  who later on had another

touchdown catch. 

The second quarter the Cougars kicked

a 49 yard field goal early on.  They caused

a safety at 1:06 remaining of the half.

They ended the first half with Leckner's

second td.

The Cougars had a touchdown and

field goal in the third quarter. SDSU

ended the quarter with a touchdown 

however we're not able to convert

a 2pt attempt. 

The Cougars backup quarterback 

Julian Dugger ran in for three yards

at 2:48 remaining in the game to

end it. Good job Cougars.

The Washington Huskies dominated 

little brother UC Davis winning 70-10.

The Huskies 628 total yardage with

rushing and passing both over 300

yards. 

The Huskies first score was in just

under the first three minutes of the

first quarter. UC Davis had the ball 

first in which they were stopped.

It took the Huskies going three plays

for 60 yards with Jonah Coleman 

scoring on a 15 yard run. He had

another run this time for one yard 

less than four minutes later. In

total Coleman had five touchdowns.

Davis had a field goal making it

interesting to end the first quarter.

The second quarter the Huskies

had two touchdowns where qb 

Desmond Williams Jr. ran in for 

8 yards. A few minutes later Coleman 

had his third touchdown of the 

game.  Davis scored a touchdown

and final points at 5:28 mark 

remaining in the first half. Coleman

had his 4th touchdown at 2:36

then Denzel Boston had a 78 yard

punt return.

Halftime score Washington 42 UC Davis 10

The Huskies had two touchdowns in

both the third and 4th quarters. Backup

QB Kai Horton had a 10 yard run for the

first touchdown in the 4th quarter.

Desmond Williams Jr threw 25 passes 

completing 16 for 254 yards and one

touchdown.  Jonah Coleman ran for

111 yards on 15 carries and the five

touchdowns. Backup running back 

carried 14 times for 95 yards and

one touchdown. 

The bye week next Saturday then the

Huskies go to Pullman for the Apple

Cup on September 20. 

Mariners End Losing Streak

The Mariners  broke their losing streak 

and had a big offensive explosion. 

We hope this will continue on Sunday

and more at home.

Bryce Miller gave up only two runs

in five and one-third inning.  Julio 

Rodriguez  had two home runs

with three hits, scored three times 

and drove in four runs.  Julio's 

first home was in the first inning

putting them up with 2-0 lead. 

The Braves did tie the game at

2-2. 

In the seventh inning the Mariners 

scored four runs with Julio hitting

his second two-run homer. Eugenio

Suarez had a solo home run and 

JP Crawford drove in Jorge Polanco 

with final run that inning.

In the 8th inning Josh Naylor hit

a third-run homer.  In the top of

the 9th Cal Raleigh hit his 52nd

home run in the season.

Gabe Speier who had a rough game 

on Friday was able to get two outs

without giving up a round. In the

7th Eduardo Bazardo was able to get 

three outs. In the 8th inning Caleb

Ferguson who has been struggling 

lately as well  only gave up a hit

and no runs. Luke Jackson finished

up getting through the 9th with

no runs.  

Harry Ford was able to have another

at bat in the 9th pinch hitting for

Randy Arozarena. He didn't get a hit

but that is ok. Luke Raley played left 

field in the 9th.

The Mariners play a day game on Sunday.

Let's see if Harry will be able to start 

at catcher. Most likely Cal will dh.

Go M's. 

Losses Continue Now In Atlanta

Logan Gilbert  had trouble  in the first

inning he got out with on run only.

He didn't  give  up another run going

six innings  total.  He walked only

one while  striking out seven.

It took some time however  the Mariners 

wee able to tie before tge seventh.

The possibility  of  the Mariners winning

was better than the last three games

for sure.

Mat Brash did a good  job in the 7th

inning however tough time came for

the Mariners.  Gabe Speier  who  has

pitched well most of the season gave

up three runs in the  bottom of tge

8th. Speier  looked a bit like he was

throwing  batting practice however 

of bad bounces happen in the  infield 

as well.  The Braves may have not

scored three runs without the bounces

but would have gotten at least one.

The  results  as far as a loss may have 

still happen  however  we will never know.

Saturday evening  Bryce Miller will start 

for  the Mariners.  He pitches anything

like his last start  tge Mariners have a

shot but the offense has to do their

job as well.

Victor Robles is expected  back tomorrow 

and Josh Naylor  who was scratched 

Friday night is expected to play as well. 

The Mariners  have to see they can win

these last two in Atlanta.

Final Braves 4 Mariners  1

Heading Into Sunday For Seahawks Opener

In my preview I mentioned that the

San Francisco 49ers were a 2.5

favorite in the game. 

According to national media the

49ers still are though running 

back Christian McCaffrey isn't
expected to play. I would put

the Seahawks in favor though 

in recent times the 49ers have

beat the Seahawks.

The question is how good is this 

new offense of the Seahawks 

really. How healthy is Ken Walker lll?

How much has the offensive line 

improved or not. 

I believe the answer lies in the

fullbacks how well they block.

They looked good in most of

the preseason games however

we know that isn't the answer.

If they do measure up to the

preseason they could be the

difference. 

The defense is expected to be

good and if they are able to 

stop the run and passing. Be 

great in the red zone. All comes

down to how much they have

to play and it comes down again 

to the offense.

This game should be excited for

the fans to see how it goes in

this game.  Where I have doubt

is the offense has gotten off to

a slow start each season and I

hope this changes too. Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose Ugly

Right now the Seattle Mariners are

supposed to be in the playoff race

however not playing like they are 

interested. This has been going

on so many years it is quite disturbing 

to be kind about it.

The Mariners are now swept by the Rays

after doing the same to them at TMobile 

Park about a month ago. 

Final Rays 9 Mariners 4

George Kirby pitched his worst game

ever as a major league. He lasted only

two innings giving up four runs in 

each. 

Unlike the Mariners the Rays didn't 

hit one home run just the hits kept

coming. Only thing that didn't make

it less ugly was that Julio Rodriguez 

hit a three run homer. in the middle 

of the game.

A change in the lineup would be nice.

The Mariners will have Thursday off

and play the Braves in Atlanta for three.

Logan Gilbert goes for the Mariners 

while Chris Sale for the Braves. The

Mariners have done well against some

of the top pitchers this season and

we hope this happens Friday. Go M's.

Preview San Diego State at WSU

This coming Saturday SDSU will

be coming to play the Cougars 

in Pullman. The Cougars are

1.5 point favorites in this one. 

Last Saturday the Cougars won on

last second field goal. It looks

it may be the same this time around.

The Cougars are 2 and 1 against the

Aztecs. Last year the Cougars won in

29-26 in October. At this point the

Cougars were a better team than 

in 2024. This why they play the games.

The Cougars for sure have to run

ball better than against Idaho last

week. They do the same passing 

that will be ok.

SDSU will be joining the new Pac-12 

next year so these two will be playing 

each other for seeable future.

We wish the best to the Cougars 

this week. Go Cougs!

Mariners Continue To Struggle

Tuesday the Mariners scored enough

runs however the bullpen didn't do 

their job. 

This has been the  trouble since the

all- star  break and the story we have 

seen for too long. When the offense is 

good the pitching isn't and vice versa.

Final Rays 6 Mariners 5.

Rays had two runs in the first. The

Mariners did take lead in the 4th

when Cal and Julio had back to back

home runs. Jorge had a home run 

as well.

 

The Rays had two runs in the six and 

seventh inning each. Bryan Woo 

gave up a run before leaving in the

sixth before leaving without any outs.

Caleb Ferguson gave up the other run.

Gabe Speier gave up the two in the

7th.

The Mariners did make it interesting 

in the 9th where Mitch Garver hit

a sacrifice fly scoring Polanco.

The Mariners did have runners on

base when they couldn't tie it 

This feels so familiar over the years.

The Mariners needs to get out of 

this funk. See if they can win Wednesday 

and take two out of three at least against

the Braves. Go M's. 

Preview UC Davis at Washington

Now that the opening game is over

for both teams we should see better 

play at least from the Huskies.

Jonah Coleman had 177 yards and two

touchdowns in the opening game so 

anything close should help the Huskies.

Expect Demond Williams Jr. to throw 

better in this one.

The defense didn't do well against

the run in the first half however shut

down Colorado in the second half.

Even if the same play as the second

should see better than the first half 

was like.

The Huskies are 35.5 favorites going

into the game. UC Davis Beat Utah

Tech last Saturday 31-24.  Utah Tech 

scored 21 straight points then UC Davis 

turned around around and scored 24

straight points in the second halfarter . .

Utah State led 10-7 at half time. Tdown hey

scored two touchdowns in the third

quarter then UC Davis matched with

two in the third quarter. They had a field 

and a touchdown in the 4th quarter

and shutout Utah Tech.

The Huskies sure with lead off running 

the ball however mix in the pass. I

expect we may not see much of Jonah 

Coleman in the second half. This will

allow the backup running backs to get

more playing experience.

Caden  Pinnick is UCD starting quarterback 

is a true freshman who beat last year's QB

and senior Grant Harper. I wouldn't be

surprised seeing both of them play

at some point. Pinnick threw for three

touchdowns completing 21 of 32 passes

253 yards. The Huskies defensive back 

will be busy since UCD will be throwing 

a lot if they get down fast and good time 

for a pass rush and turnovers.

Go Dawgs!

Mariners Lose at Tampa Bay

Again the Mariners weren't  able win 

again the first game of a series. The

Mariners beat the Rays when they

played at home by sweeping all

three games.

Final  Rays 10 Mariners 2

The Mariners were able to have ten 

hits however left runners on base.

The Mariners two runs was on Leo

Rivas first major league home run

in 9th inning.  He and Harry Ford 

were activated on Monday along

with reliever Luke Jackson who

recently was signed by the M's 

to a minor league contract.

Neither Ford or Jackson got into

the game.  Rivas pinch hit for 

Jorge Polanco. 

The Rays scored two runs in the

second followed by three more 

in the third on a home run.

Again Luis Castillo had a bad outing 

this time going four innings. Again

the Rays scored five more later in

the game.  Emerson Hancock 

made it into the game as a reliever 

for the first time. He didn't fair to 

well. We hope next time. 

Bryan Woo pitches Tuesday so he

will give the Mariners a chance.

Preview SF 49ers at Seattle Seahawks

It is early on as the Seahawks regular 

season doesn't begin until September 

7th when they play host to the 49ers.

The 49ers are considered in a rebuild in 

a way. Being a rival game to begin

the season it is important to get off to a 

good start. In recent years the 49ers have dominated the Seahawks. They are favored 

by 2.5 points. 

Looking at the 49ers offense Brock

Purdy is still their quarterback. Christian 

McCaffrey is their running back. The

49rrs success may depend on whether

he can stay healthy. George Kittle is

still their tight end and primary receiver

however will he be the same? They don't 

have same power of receivers as before.

Defense will likely the story the 49ers as 

it is for the Seahawks. The Rams are 

favored however the 49ers and Seahawks 

could decide it. The Seahawks must win

this game at home. A loss isn't  the end

however they will have to fight harder.

Go Hawks!
