Preview Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks

This coming Sunday the Kansas City Chiefs 

are undefeated take on the. Seahawks in

Seattle. Every team would want to beat the Seahawks since they are defending Super 

Bowl Champions.

Added to it all Ken Walker III was the Super 

Bowl MVP with the Seahawks last year and 

signed with the Chiefs. The Seahawks were 

not willing toWalker the amount money to 

keep him. 

Walker on top of it leading the NFL in rushing. 

Had the Seahawks keptWalker he wouldn't be playing as muchhe in Kansas City either. Walker 

is playing and carrying the ball 75 percentbof 

the time. The question though willhe be able to 

keep it up since with theChiefs since with the Seahawks he wasinjured some of the time. It 

isn't just get this season but longer we will 

season.

Walker is averaging 133 yards a game  this 

season so continue this he will have 2261 

yards.  Last year he ran for 1050 yards. The Seahawks were having him carry the ball about 

half time.  The Chiefs in all are running  159.8 

yards a game.  He has six touchdowns running

the  ball and  eight altogether.

In the passing game Patrick Mahomes  is throwing for 254.2 on the season  which is 9th in the NFL.   He has touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Tight 

end Travis Kelce is second with 20 catches while leading in yardage at 299 with two touch- downs. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy is top in catches with 21 however third in yardage. Tyquan  Thornton is second  in yardage and tied with Kelce 

in tds. Also is 4th with catches so he is the Chiefs deep threat.

The Seahawks are 2.5 point favorites at home. 

They want to end their two game losing streak 

and stop Walker  as well. Walker and the Chiefs want  time stay undefeated. 

News came out on Thursday that Zach Charbonnet 

has been activated to the Seahawks roster. How

much we will see him play on Sunday we will see.

Go Hawks. 

Preview Boise State at Washington State

This Saturday Boise State ranked number 21

in the country plays at Washington State. 

Boise State is at top of the Pac-12 and is

favored to win the conference.

BSU only loss of the season was in week one

when they almost upset the Oregon Ducks

on home field. Last week was their closest 

win beating Fresno State 38-31 on the road

making their season 5-1. They are 12.5

favorites this coming Saturday against the

Cougars. 

Boise State Broncos are averaging 35 points

a game while their opponents are  at 22.3.

Maddux Madsen is the Broncos quarterback 

and he has 13 touchdowns and no interceptions 

on the season while completing 66.3 percent 

of his passes.

The Broncos are averaging more on the ground

then passing which is rare in college football.

They average 234.5 on the ground while 216

in the air.  Dylan Riley is there number one runner

and he is averaging 6.6 yards a carry and has 6

touchdowns on the season. Sire Gaines is number 

two at 5.4 per carry with 3 touchdowns. He has

just over as many carries as Riley. It will be

important for the Cougars to stop them. It is

interesting since the Broncos offense is different
than the Beavers last week pass the ball more

although did have a runner who had over 100 yards.

Rasean Jones the Broncos wide receiver has

23 catches on the season for 359 yards and one

touchdown. Comes to receiving they have to watch 

for tight end Matt Wagner who had 22 catches 

for 242 yards and four touchdowns. Third in

catches is wide receiver Akeem Wright with 11

catches for  181 yards and one touchdown. 

Last week the Cougars benched the QB from

the previous games in favor of redshirt freshman 

Owen Eshleman who accounted for most of the 

offense. He ran for 136 on only 15 carries and

a touchdown. Passing he threw for 289 with 2

touchdowns and one interception. The interception 

happened at the end of the game. The rest of

the running game had only 65 yards. The Cougars 

have a chance not only will Eshleman have

to repeat much what he did against the Beavers

will have to get more yards from the running 

backs on the ground.  Go Cougs. 

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Preview

This last Saturday the  Washington Huskies men's 

basketball team had their first exhibition game

which they lost to Boise State 109-91. 

The Huskies play the WSU Cougars on October 

25 at home in second exhibition before facing

Colgate on November 1 in regular season opener 

The Huskies play in the tough Big Ten so they

have to get to know each other better. Nine of

the 15 are new through the transfer portal.

A big problem in this game the Huskies 

had 18 turnovers to Boise State 9

Shooting wise both teams did well. 

There were a lot of foul shots to by both

teams.  99 between the too which is crazy.

The Huskies actually shot better at the foul

line do didn't make a difference. 

Boise shot well from field. The Huskies 

made 51% while just over 40% in three 

point shots which is better than other 

seasons.

Wesley Yates lll who is the only returning 

starter came off the bench in this one

as the sixth man. It will be interesting if

the Huskies stay that way or not. He had 

11 points. Parker Freidrichsen had 15 

points off the bench. Whether these two

continue coming off the bench we will see.

In all the Huskies had  40 points off the bench.

I am sure coach Danny Sprinkle want to

see how certain players  matched together.

We could see a different starting lineup 

against the Cougars.

Tayshawn Comer and Lejuan Watts each

had 16 points to lead the Huskies while

starting. Watts lead them with 9 rebounds.

Both fouled out to. Lethan Sommerville 

another hold over started with ten points

and give points. He was at power forward 

and fouled out too.

Right now this is a work in process for

the Huskies. The Huskies play in the

tough Big Ten so if they can progress 

with a winning record and have less

injuries be good.  Go Dawgs

Seattle Kraken Hockey

The Seattle Kraken come home to start a 

homestead after having a successful road 

trip despite losing the final two games which

isn't a large surprise since Tampa Bay and 

Florida Panthers are two of the top teams

in the NHL.  

The Kraken lost to Tampa Bay by a goal 

while losing to the Panthers 8-3 on Saturday.

The Kraken are now 5-3-1 and in third place 

behind Vegas and Edmonton who are two 

of the losses. TB loss was overtime.

Tuesday they begin a four game homestand

against Detroit Redeings who they beat on

the road 6-3 on October 9.  Go Kraken.

Oregon State Beats Washington State

It was expected that the Oregon State 

Beavers would beat the Washington 

State Cougars in their first match up

since being the two teams remaining 

in the new Pac-12.

The Beavers are the best of these of

these two teams however the Cougars

should be ashamed how they played

especially offensively.

Final Beavers 48. Cougars 30

The  Beavers have an outstanding offense

and the Cougars offense had their best of

the season.  

The Beavers had 555 total yards while

the Cougars had 459 yards.  The Cougars 

play this way in their remaining games

this season they should have more wins

than one they have now 

The game had no turnovers until the

Cougars threw a long pass with three

seconds remaining was intercepted.

The Cougars did what they had to.the

 very end that you can't fault them. 

Owen Eshleman a redshirt freshman 

making his first career start as a Cougar.

Owen completed 32 of 49 passes for

a solid of just over 65 percent and 289

yard with two touchdowns.

If the Cougars had any fault offensively 

Eshleman had most of the yards running

the ball too. He carried 15 times for 136

yards  and had his first running touchdown 

with 1:37 remaining in the game for 20 yards.

It looks for the time now he is the Cougars 

quarterback. They had 15 more carries

that came to 32 yards. Something the

Cougars will have to work on.

Branden Ganashamoorthy was the key

receiver that Eshleman looked to with

11 catches for  147 yards and a touchdown.

Going into this game he had 15 catches

for 196 and two touchdowns. Likely 

see these two hook up the rest of the way.

Things won't get easier for the Cougars  as 

they take on Boise State next Saturday at 

home. Despite  the  Beavers they are expected to win the Pac-12 title.  Let's see if the Cougars

can do an upset. Go Cougs. 

Washington Huskies Finally Win Big Ten Game

The Washington Huskies football team 

bad their best offensive game  of the 

season. They really needed this win 

after going 0-3:in the Big Ten 

Final Washington 38 Purdue 26

This wasn't the most perfect game 

but certainly the best one of the season.

The Huskies had five turnovers Friday night.

This all on the road too. 

Elijah Brown making his first start of the 

season for the Huskies completed 21 of 

27 for 302 yards and three touchdowns. 

Brown had three intercepted but not all 

his fault. The receivers need to complete 

running their routes. 

The big improvement was running the ball.

Trevion Cooley had 8 carriers for 113 yards.

One run was 53 yards for a touchdown.

It was the last score of the game. He had

to leave a little later as he was hit hard

on a play. We hope that he can go next week.

Brian Bonner Jr.  ran 13 times for 64 yards

and had a touchdown at the end of the first

half. He caught a 25 yard touchdown pass

about six minutes earlier.

Chris Lawson led the Huskies with six catches

for 103. Dezman Roebuck had five catches

for 97 yards and had a 4 yard touchdown 

early in the 4th quarter.

The Huskies defense gave up a lot of big

plays though Purdue running back Fame

Ijeobi last week against Minnesota having 

195 yards only had 13  carries for 19 yards

He did catch a pass for a touchdown though.

The Huskies have next weekend off then

plays at Nebraska on Saturday October 31.

This should be what they need. We will

see whether quarterback Desmond Williams 

Jr. returns to start of not. Go Dawgs. 

Time To Sit Darnold

It has been rough for the quarterbacks

her in Washington State so far this

season.

The Huskies had to take out Demond 

Williams Jr. in the end of the first half

and Friday night Elijah Brown will start.

Saturday the Cougars are placing their

quarterback though not hurt but a team

record of 1-5 which is understandable.

Sam Darnold was hurt in the very first 

series of the opening game and Drew

Lock replaced him and played three 

games. Now they are struggling with

Darnold back. Should he have waited 

another week or not. 

Is the problem with Seahawks as with

the Huskies and possibly the Cougars

the offensive line or is it that Darnold 

is throwing interceptions. Against the

Broncos Thursday night he was sacked

five times. How many of those were the

line or the running backs blocking to

or Darnold or all three.  

Is the problem the play calling or the

running game. Although the Seahawks 

running game wasn't great it was better

than the Broncos.  The Seahawks almost

won both the last two weeks.

Zach Charbonnet is expected back in

game seven against the Kansas City

do we give Darnold another week or

not. I am sure every Seahawks fan

has an opinion that is why they are 

fans. We will see. One thing we are

understanding why it is hard to win

two Super Bowls in a row. We don't 

have to panic yet.  Go Seahawks. 

Seahawks Lose In Overtime

The Seahawks lost Thursday night at

Denver against the Broncos 17-14.

The game was done by both teams 

defense or struggle by both offenses 

ot combination of both. Take a pick.

The Seahawks are now 3-3 after two

losses in five days they could have

won as well. 

Until the 4th quarter the Seahawks 

weren't doing well. The Seahawks 

were passing the ball a lot though

at times did have some success 

on the ground. 

The Seahawks total yardage was twice

of the Broncos.  If we went by how each

tesm did by seeing the stats only the 

Seahawks would have won but didn't.

The Seahawks had a field goal in the 

first quarter but nothing in the 2nd and

3rd quarters.  The Broncos scored twice

in the 2nd quarter on the ground thougj

didn't do much otherwise running the ball.

Both teams went scoreless in the 3rd quarter.

George Holani ran in on a touchdown with

5:41 remaining in regulation.  They made a

two conversation too. After stopping the

Broncos the Seahawks kicked a field goal 

with three seconds to go to tie.

Broncos win the coin toss but allowed the

Seahawks have the ball first.  They did

a good job driving then Sam Darnold 

threw an interception.  After moving a

little ways they kicked field goal to win.

The Seahawks next game will be on

October 25 at home against the KC

Chiefs. Hopefully get things squared 

away. Go Hawks 

Preview Washington State at Oregon State

The two teams from the old Pac 12 remaining 

are facing off this Saturday in Corvallis Oregon.

The Cougars who are struggling on the season 

as well as losing the first two games to begin

conference play.  The Beavers are 2-0 in the

conference while 4-2.

The Beavers are like the Cougars they have

a new head coach in JaMarcus Shepherd. 

If  the name sounds familiar he was assistant 

head coach and wide receivers coach at

Washington under DeBoer as well at Alabama.

Now his first head coach job in college 

football.

News came out that the Cougars are making .

a move at quarterback. Not a big surprise 

when your team is 1-5.  Redshirt freshman 

Owen Eshleman is going to start against

the Beavers See how much difference in

the game.  The Beavers are favored by

18.5 points. They are averaging 41.8

points a game. Last Saturday they beat 

San Diego State 66-14. 

Braden Atkinson is the starting quarterback 

for the Beavers and leads the nation throwing

21 touchdowns on the season so far. The 

Beavers are averaging 391.2 yards in the air.

Should see a lot of throwing the ball in this

one.

The Beavers freshman receiver Jesse Legree

is ranked number one nationally with 932 

yards and tied for first with 12 touchdowns.

Against San Diego State he broke the teams

recovered of consecutive games by  a Beavers

receiver with at least 100 yards in all six games

he had played.  See what the Cougars can do

to slow him down if they can.

On the ground the Beavers are averaging 119.6

with 8 touchdowns. Though not high in college 

football still a good amount of yards.

The Cougars are giving up 164.6 yards on the

ground and 4.7 on the average. We see the 

Beavers will do although they will be more

concerned with Beavers passing game.

The Cougars are giving up 214.6  in the air

but this will be a challenge for them.

Whether they  will win this will be an upset 

if the Cougars are able to win. Go Cougs.

Preview Washington Huskies at Purdue

News has come out that Desmond Williams Jr 

the Huskies starting quarterback is likely not

to start against Purdue this coming Friday

Elijah Brown who came in at the end of the 

first half last week is expected to start.

The Washington Huskies really need a win

after losing the first three games in the

Big Ten. They are not the only ones there 

are five teams without a win.  There are

four teams that are undefeated in the 

conference led by Indiana and UCLA overall.

The Huskies offense isn't the only side of

the ball that isn't playing well. After getting 

off to a good start the defense isn't playing 

well either. The running defense was expected 

to be good once again had digressed. Against 

Iowa they gave up 263 yards on the ground.

Purdue is 2-1 in conference while 3-3 overall.

They have won two straight including beating 

Minnesota last week 42-13. Last year the 

Huskies beat Purdue at home 49-13.  This year

the two teams are going in opposite directions.

Having Brown at quarterback we will see if

the offense will be better and the defense back

go back where it was earlier on in the season.

Ryan Browne is the starting quarterback for

Purdue in his second season as the leader.

His completion rate has gone up to 68.9 %

which is ten percent higher than last year.

Browne has thrown one interception this

season while having ten last year. He has

thrown nine touchdown passes which is

exactly the same he had all of last season.

Browne has thrown for 1549 yards which

means he should go over last year's total

easily as long as he stays healthy. He just

has just over 600 yards to reach last year's 

total.

Fame Ijeboi is Purdue's starting running

back by far has the most carries. Last week 

against Minnesota was his biggest game

running for 195 yards and three touchdowns.

The Huskies will have to stop him. Qb Browne

has the second most carries on the season

and averages 1.7 yards per so the Huskies

have to see him carry the ball.

Asaad Waseem is the Boilermakers top

receiver with 29 catches for 472 yards 

and has only one touchdown.  Xavier 

Townsend has 29 catches as well for

314 yards and two touchdown

The Boilermakers convert about 48 percent

of the time on third downs however their

defense gives up about the same. See if

the Huskies can do better this time.

The Boilermakers defense average 157.5

yards a game although did much better

against Minnesotassy week. The Huskies

offensive line making changes over the 

last couple weeks the running game will

improve . At least enough to help the 

passing game be effective.

Purdue defense is giving up an average of

243.5 yards in the air. Last week Brown 

threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns 

in just over two quarters with no interceptions 

so if he is anything around that at Purdue

the Huskies have a shot to win.  Purdue is

favored at  3.5 points this Friday. So the 

Huskies could do it.

Purdue linebacker Jaylen Jaylen leads 

with 40 tackles. Purdue goes with 3

lineman, 3 linebackers and 5 defensive 

backs. That is what many college teams

play now. No one on Purdue defense

has no more than one interception or

sacks. We hope the Huskies do better

then Minnesota last week although 

they did beat Washington.  Go Dawgs.

Preview Seahawks at Broncos

The Seattle Seahawks play the Denver Broncos 

this Thursday  evening this week so not many 

days off. Both teams will have practice differently 

than normal this week. 

The Seahawks and Broncos  have identical 

records heading into this game at 3-2.  How

many points scored for each team and 

against them.  The Seahawks are 2-1 at home 

while 1-1 on the road. They have scored 134

points while giving up 105. The Broncos are

2-0 at home while 1-2 on the road.  They 

have scored 97 points while 111 against.

When it comes to offense the Broncos

are averaging 19.4 points per game.

Running the ball they are average 86.2

per game while passing for 182.8 yards.

The opponent has averaged more in

both areas.  The Seahawks are averaging 

106 yards on the ground which is less

than the Broncos are giving up with

rookie Jadarian Price being out the last

couple weeks. 

Bo Nix former first round pick out of 

Oregon is Broncos starting quarterback.

This year he is completing 59.9 % of

his passes. He has 942 yards passing 

with six touchdowns and three interceptions.

His passing yardage is down from last year 

when they went to the league championship.

They have played a tough schedule early 

facing the Kansas City Chiefs a division for

in week one. The played Jacksonville in

week two when he threw for the most yards

288 on the season. In week three they beat 

the Rams in a close game 30 to 26 he threw

only 183 yards with two touchdowns and

one interception. The following week lost to

the 49ers 49 to 25, passing 218 and 1 td.

Sunday beat the Chargers  23 to 17. Nix

had his lowest passing day with only 123

yards and a touchdown. No interceptions 

the last two games. The Seahawks will 

want to get back to their winning ways

so it might be tough Thursday evening.

The Seahawks are 3-1 under MacDonald 

on Thursday nights. The Seahawks are

three point favorites right now. 

JK Dobbins is the Broncos starting running

back. He is the only running back who has 

played in all five games. By far the most 

carries with 64 for 224 yards and one TD.

RJ Harvey in four games with 15 carries 

for 56 yards. He has more passes completed 

than carries with 20 for 132 yards out of the

backfield. Former Washington Huskies Jonah

Coleman is the only other one with a running

touchdown however we won't see him as

he is on injured reserve.

Jaylen Waddle has the most catches by

a wide receiver with 18 for 204 and a td

against the 49ers. Cortland  Sutton is

the only other receiver in double digits

with 11 for 104 yards and a td against

the Chargers. The Broncos third wide 

receiver Pat Bryant is on injured reserve

however had a touchdown in the win

against the Rams.

See how the Seahawks will bounce back

against the Broncos. Go Hawks. 

Seattle Kraken This Past Week

Last Tuesday the Kraken lost their first 

game at home against the Vegas Golden 

Knights 6-2. Vegas is one of the favorites 

in the Pacific division. 

The Kraken are on a five game road trip

whivh ends this weekend. They have won

their first two games beating Detroit

Red Wings 6-3 on Friday and Washington 

Capitals on Sunday 6-3. They play the 

Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday followed

by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday 

and the Florida Panthers on Saturday. 

Vegas is at top of the Pacific division at

5-1. The Kraken are 4-2  and in 4th place.

The Redwings are last place of the Atlantic 

division at 1-3-1. The  Capitals are 3-2 in

the Metropolitan division in 4th place. The

Flyers are in the same division at 0-5-2.

The Kraken have a good shot to beat them

on Tuesday. 

The Lightning are on top of the Atlantic 

at 4-1 record. The Panthers 2-1-2 in

the Atlantic as well. This should be a 

successful road trip. Go Kraken.

Seahawks Lose A Crazy Game

The game didn't come down to who was

going to win . The SF 49ers kicked a field goal

under two minutes to take lead. Wide receiver 

Mike Evans seven catches for 113 yards on

the day for the 49ers.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a good game to

for the Seahawks. In the last two minutes 

he was hurt and had  to go out for a play.

When returning he missed a catch that he

should have made on third down. It was 

one of those days for both teams. The

Seahawks had to go for it on 4th down

at midfield. Jaxon caught a pass and 

tried to dive for the first down however 

he came short by about six inches with

55 seconds remaining in the game.

Who knows the Seahawks might have

kicked a field goal to tie if it has been

a first down or win on a touchdown we

will never know.

Final 49ers 32 Seahawks 29

Combined the two teams had seven

turnovers. The Seahawks had a critical 

one right at the end of the first half.

Both teams had turnovers in the second 

half to. Seahawks didn't look like they

would win in the third quarter but the 

49ers made critical turnovers as well.

The Seahawks scored 14 points in the

third quarter without any by the 49ers

The 49ers had led 21-13 at half time

when the Seahawks fumbled with 14

seconds left in the first  and recovered.

for a touchdown.

Brock Purdy completed 19 of  29 

passes for 189 yards,  2 td's and one

interception. He was sacked 4 times 

Going into the game he had not been

sacked on the season.

Ssm Darnold completed 18 of 29 

passes with one TD, two interceptions,

was sacked 5 times and 195 yards.

Not the greatest game by Sam but 

he fought for it.

Emanuel Wilson ran the ball 20 times

for 61 yards and a touchdown. 

 Now the Seahawks go back to the

drawing table. They have a short 

week playing the Broncos on Thursday

 night in Denver. Go Hawks.

 

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Coming Soon

All three of the of the college men's basketball 

program in the state of Washington start 

the season at the beginning of November so it 

is very close in just over three weeks.

All three schools are dealing with a lot of

transfer so how they will do this season 

is up in the air. Gonzaga is expected to win

the conference of new Pac-12 which isn't 

a surprise for a program that has had success

for over 20 years. They to have  a change 

over in the roster. 

The Washington Huskies who finished 12th

last season in the Big Ten hope to move

in top ten though there are 19 teams.  The 

goal is to have a winning record and be healthy 

as well. Last season they had a lot of injuries.

The Big Ten might be the best conference in

College men's basketball.

Wesley Yates lll is the only returning starter

for the Huskies this coming season. At

guard he will be a vocal point for leadership.

They have  nine transfers and six returnees

with Yates having the most experience.

In two weeks on the 25th the Huskies have

an exhibition game against the WSU Cougars

so after that we will have more an idea who

the starters are going into the season. This 

is the only time these two teams meet this

coming season. 

We wish the Huskies and Cougars good

seasons. Go teams. 

Washington Huskies and WSU Cougars Both Lose

The Washington Huskies and the Cougars

 both lose Friday evening. The first Friday

game for both teams. They are both winless

in their conferences to. They totally different 

games though.

The Huskies game ended before the Cougars

game though they started about the same

time.  The Huskies were slight favorites 

playing at home but this was the largest 

margin of defeat as well.  Final was Iowa 41

Washington 24

The game was basically over by half time.

The Huskies offense couldn't do anything

in the first half and the defense had trouble 

stopping Iowa.  The first quarter  Iowa 

kicked a field goal in their first possession 

then another one in the second possession.

The Huskies offense couldn't get anything 

going. All season long the first quarter has

 been tough on them. Right about the end

of the first quarter the Huskies punted the

ball and Iowa was able to run back to the 44

yard line on their side of the. The very next

play Iowa was able to run it back for 56 yards

and a touchdown.

Jeremy Hecklinski Iowa's backup quarterback 

ended up starting because of an injury to

starter Hank Brown who had to leave in last

weeks game. Hecklinski threw two touchdown

passes in the second quarter. Just after the

two minute warning the Huskies kicked a field goal.

Quarterback Desmond Williams Jr. was sacked 

and left the game. See if he is back next week.

Elijah Brown the Huskies backup quarterback 

went the rest of the way. Brown actually threw

two touchdowns in the third quarter and Iowa

had another one in between those two.

In the 4th quarter  the Hawkeyes ran for another touchdown. The Huskies though got a touchdown 

when the clock run out. For the first time in

over a decade the Huskies ran for negative yards

at -3. The Huskies had 320 yards passing.

The Huskies couldn't stop the Hawkeyes running

game that was for 263 yards. Next week the 

Huskies play again on Friday at Purdue. Go Dawgs.

The Cougars ended up losing a close game

although they had a good lead at half time

The Cougars had two field goals in the first

quarter so Utah State was blanked. Utah

State had a field goal early on in the 2nd quarter.

The Cougars next possession they had their

third field goal of the half and had a touchdown 

to making it 16-3 Cougars lead going into

the third quarter.

The trouble was the Cougars weren't able to

score at all in the second half. Utah State had

a touchdown in the third and 4th quarters 

after the Cougars had fumbled. The Cougars 

still had a chance to win on a field goal at least

however came up short on third down. They 

end up punting and Utah State kept them out. 

Final Utah State 17 WSU 16. Hopefully the

Cougars learned a lesson. 

The Cougars play Oregon State next Saturday 

at Corvallis. Go Cougs. 

Preview SF 49ers at Seahawks

The Seahawks are favored by a field goal 

at home but both teams have good offenses

and defenses. 

The 49ers are 4-0 while the Seahawks 3-1. 

Last year the Seahawks won both games

and it is important to at least split if wanting

to make the playoffs every year.  The 49ers

had a lot of injuries last year and still won

12 games. They finished third behind the 

Seahawks and Rams.

This year the 49ers are healthy right now.

Quarterback Brock Purdy is having a very

good season throwing for 1007 and their

offensive line is doing well since he hasn't 

been sacked once.  Purdy does a good 

avoiding the rush. The Seahawks have

good speed on the defense and will have

to slow Purdy and receivers.

Running back Christian McCaffrey, wide 

receiver  Deboo Samuel Sr. and George 

Kittle tight end are having stiller seasons 

so far which means the Seahawks defense

has a job of slowing them down. 

The 49ers have injuries to their defensive 

backs so Sam Darnold with Jaxon Smith-

Njigba and the rest of receiving group will

try to take advantage of it. Be important 

if the 49ers offense is going strong. The

Seahawks running game with Emanuel Wilson 

will have to do the job to setup the receivers.

We won't see Jadarian Price  for a few more

weeks.  This should be exciting for sure. 

Go Hawks.

Seattle Mariners 40 Man Roster Right Now

The Mariners right now have 23 pitchers on

the 40 man roster. All but two pitch at one

time of another during the 2026.

The Mariners have six starters so someone 

should be traded to pick up a reliever or a

bat depending who would be available in

a trade. Logan Evans who missed last season 

would be considered a 7th starter. Now

who would the Mariners trade to get someone.

Some say Logan Gilbert who is the closest 

to be a free agent should be the guy but he

would be a good choice to sign to an extension.

Bryce Miller and George Kirby who both struggling 

throughout the season though had good moments 

to be traded. All the starters enjoy being in Seattle 

as well. It comes down to the best offer out there.

The bullpen suffered when Matt Brash went on

the injured list which hurt the Mariners from

making the playoffs. They need to find someone 

to move into his spot even if he returns healthy 

in 2027. Acquiring another lefty for the bullpen 

should be priority too. They needed additional 

depth in case of injuries or poor performance 

too. The bullpen can't be a sure thing from one

season to the next. 

Hoby Milner is a lefty they had in September but 

he will be a free agent so they want to resign 

him is a question mark. The Mariners have

15 relievers on the 40 man roster not counting 

Milner and they will have 8 when the season 

starts unless they want to go with six starters. 

The Mariners have eight relievers including 

Matt Brash returning along with Carlos Vargas 

who returned late in the season.The two lefties

in Jose Ferrer and Gabe Speier. Are they good 

enough or should one of them be replaced.

Eduardo Bazardo had a poor September for 

sure. Can he return to his former self or not.

The Mariners have to make at least one move

in the bullpen. The question is who will be

gone. 

The Mariners have three catchers.  We are

familiar with Cal Raleigh and back up Jhonny 

Pereda who had 90 at bats while hitting .300

with two home runs and eight rbis. Outside

the batting average not great stats but seemed

to do fine defensively. The question why didn't 

the Mariners not keep him when Cal returned

instead of Mitch Garver. The Mariners should 

keep him unless they can find another backup

catcher instead. The Mariners third catcher

is Willie McIver who they acquired on waivers

from Toronto who they had him from Texas

Rangers. His major league was only with the

Athletics last year where he batted .186. 

The limited time in triple A Tacoma he hit

.270. The Mariners have several minor league 

catching prospects where one of them could

be the backup to call and get significant 

time playing though we are most likely have

to wait until 2028 at the earliest. 

The Mariners have 13 infielders on their 

40 man roster.  There will be four starters 

plus likely two on the bench. Among those 

Colt Emerson and Will Wilson who had little 

playing time are on the injured list ending 

the season. The Mariners would like

Emerson to be the starting shortstop if

he is ready when spring training ends.

Wilson is a former number one draft pick

though he has little major league experience 

and below two hundred he is 28 years old 

so Wilson could be welcome for depth.

JP Crawford listed as well though he will be

a free agent. The question is will the Mariners 

want to retain him or not. So that leaves

ten infielders besides those three. Naylor 

and Cole Young at second and third. The 

question is if the Mariners acquire a bat will

that be a third baseman. They do so then

Brendan Donovan and Michael Arroyo be

the two infielders though they may see 

action in the corner outfields as well. In

that case having a third infielder on the

bench is a possibility.  Four infielders 

could be at triple A for depth purposes.

The Mariners have eight outfielders and

Dh on the 40 man roster. Randy Arozarena 

and Taylor Ward are both free agents to be.

Ward is likely not to return and Arozarena 

may not either. If Arozarena doesn't return

the Mariners will likely have to acquire 

another outfielder or Montes and Canzone

be the guys right now to occupy those

spots.  Montes likely would platoon with

Arroyo. We can see Donovan out in left

and right if they do pick up a 3rd baseman.

Brennen Davis who spent most of the 

season on the injured list though began

at triple A and Luke Raley who had 262

at bats with 15 home runs while batting 

.225. He doesn't hit lefties very well.

He is due arbitration but the Mariners 

could non tender him which would mean

he would become a free agent.  Victor

Robles has an option year so be could 

return of the M's decline he would be a

free agent.

Both Raley and Robles are the only two

who could play center field if Julio  needed

a day off. These two are let go then whatever 

bat they acquire would need to play center

too.  If the Mariners and Arozarena be able

to make a deal he would be the other one.

Whatever the Mariners do the question is

will they hire the manager and the coaches

before or not. Still answers to find. Go M's.

Preview WSU Cougars At Utah State

Monday the news out of Pullman head

coach Kirby Moore is taking over the 

duties of play calling. This doesn't mean

the offensive coordinator is out. Moore

who was offensive coordinator at Missouri 

last year so not far from the job.

Moore could have the duties for a week 

to show what he wants for the offense

then just telling the OC.  Showing can

be what the offensive coaches need to

see. 

One thing is there sees more use of the

running backs coming out of the backfield 

as well as running the ball. This is something 

the Huskies and Seahawks need to do we

what they do to.  The Cougars lost their

number one receiver in the Apple Cup for

the season so that could be a difference 

as well.  The offensive line needing to do

a better job.

Moore didn't come out saying Caden Pinnick 

is the guy this week either so we will see.

The Cougars are 1-4 and none of the losses

were close at least by the score. The win 

was against a team they were highly favored 

agains. Last weeks game the Cougars were

favored by a field goal at home and lost to

Fresno State 26-6. The two field goals were 

in the first half too. 

The Utah State Aggies have the same record

as the Cougars and are favored  at 5.5 points.

Be the home team might be the reason. They 

weren't expected to be good this season. 

The Cougars have averaged 22.5 points a

game while giving up 25 points. The Aggies

have averaged 13 points a game while 

giving up 28.4 a game. The only team they

both played was the Huskies and the Aggies 

kept it very close.  The Cougars played the

opening of the season so can only judge

so much.

Both teams total yardage isn't far off from

each other. The Cougars are averaging 

313.8 a game while the Aggies is only six 

more. It is interesting with difference in

scoring points. Pinnick is completing 61.3%

while throwing 5 interceptions compared

to three touchdowns in the three games total.

He has three running touchdowns to.

The Aggies are better at throwing the ball

than the Cougars while it is the other way

around running the ball. The Cougars use

two running backs while the Aggies go with

one most of the time. Last week the Cougars 

didn't do well running the ball  compared to 

passing. We will have to see how it goes 

this week though Moore wants to have

success doing both. Go Cougs 

Preview Iowa at Washington

The Iowa Hawkeyes have a 4-1 on the season. 

They are 1-1 in the Big Ten beating Michigan

20-19 the lost to Ohio State 31-14 last Saturday. 

This game takes place Friday evening at Husky 

Stadium. The Huskies are favored by 2.5 points.

That has to be one of the closest games at Husky

Stadium where they are favored. 

The Huskies are 0-2 in Big Ten games so this

is an important game for them to win. The 

Huskies offense has struggled at times in

all five games they have played. Last Saturday 

at USC the Huskies had a chance to win but

bad play in the 4th quarter cost them the game.

The three touchdowns the Huskies had were

unconventional but when they had the opportunity 

late they played conventional. Huskies quarterback 

hasn't done as well that way.  They three td's

were a bright idea but why not stay that way.

The Huskies running game hasn't been good

all season losing three running backs and

the offensive line hasn't been good either 

Desmond Williams Jr has had to hurry passes 

as well because of protection breaking down.

The Huskies have had success going to their

tight ends. They need to stay in the same

play calling. The Huskies Lose this is going 

to be difficult for them the rest of the year.

The Hawkeyes are hard to defend since both

running and passing are both a little over

two hundred yards each. The Huskies defense

against the run hasn't been as good against 

the run as expected. If they can stop the big

running plays  that will help a lot.   The 

Hawkeyes average 29 points a game while

the defense is averaging 12.6 points a game

which is 7th in the country so this will make

it difficult for the Huskies.  Since the Huskies

play well at home most of the time this will

be a big factor. 

Hank Brown is the Hawkeyes quarterback.

On the season Brown has completed 

78 of 124 for completion of 62.9 percent

for 832 yards with five touchdowns and

one interception again Ohio State last 

Saturday.  Hank was injured in the 3rd 

quarter last week though expected to

play. 

Kamari  Moulton is the starting running

back with 33 percent of the carries with

50 for  311 yards and two touchdowns.

They have two running backs with 19

carries. Sophomore Braeden Jackson 

with 170 yards with two td's, and junior

Xavier Williams for 167 yards and  3 td's.

The 4th running back Nathan McNeil 

has 21 carries for 128 yardsand two td's.

This will be a fortable group to go against.

The Hawkeyes catches are done primarily 

by their three top three receivers. Tony Diaz

a junior leads with 25 catches with one TD

which was in the opening game of the 

season and longest reception to yards. 

Another junior Reeze Vander Zee is third

with 13 catches with two touchdowns both

against Michigan and leads the team in

touchdown catches. Tight end DJ Vonnahme

is second with 16 catches with 21 yards the 

longest. Another tight end Addison Ostrenga

is 4th with seven. He has no touchdowns 

however his longest catch 29 yards against 

Michigan.

On defense Iowa tackles are done by three

linebackers of the top four. Junior Cam

Buffington leads with 44. Second is defensive 

back Zach Lutmer with 31 tackles. Linebacker 

Jaden Montgomery is third with 27 and a 

sack against Michigan. Landyn is 4th with

19 tackles and assisted on a sack in the

season opener. 

Defense back Deshaun Lee has 17 tackles 

with two interceptions with the latest against 

Michigan. Defensive Lineman Bryce Hawthorne 

is tied with Lee in tackles the most by any 

lineman and has one and a half sacks. 

Though the Huskies are slight favorites

at home they will need to play like last

week to win on Friday. Go Dawgs. 

Cal and Naylor Have Off-season Surgeries

Two important members of the Mariners 

lineup Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor had

surgery recently since the Mariners didn't 

make the playoffs.

There weren't alone that the Mariners didn't 

make the playoffs however if they had been

100 percent healthy they might have made

it. Cal was out for just over a month returning 

after the all-star break. Interesting he blasted 

home runs in rehab assignment with the

triple A Tacoma before being activated. It

showed it didn't help him to face major league 

pitching. We will never know but it could 

have still affected his hitting.  He played in

14 games and his batting average didn't 

really change at all.  He had one home run 

in July and five rbis. He had one double as

his only other extra base hit.

Much of August he wasn't hitting well either.

In fact his average went down until August 

21 when he hit a home run and driving in

three runs and then on the 24th he had three

home runs. He had three more the rest of

the month. In September he had only three 

home runs but still had a batting average 

that ended at 182.  The first of May Cal was

hitting .186.  Only a few days before in April

he was batting .205.  His average continue 

to go down when they finally put him on

the injured list because of his oblique. The 

surgery was to cleanup on his shoulder.

Many were aware that Cal wasn't throwing 

out a lot of runners though the pitchers

could have played a part as well. 

Josh Naylor had surgery to his right wrist.

He said that you have to play through pain 

and doesn't use it as an excuse.  At the 

plate the wrist was showing giving him

problems though he ended up with a good 

average though was low on how runs which

this was part of his problem. Also his defense 

wasn't good either. 

Josh was in a slump at the beginning of the 

season and didn't get over .200 until almost

the end of April. His average climbed after 

that and his high .272 was on  September 16 

but the wrist must still had bothered him

that he ended up  .261.  Josh had only 10 

home runs which was his lowest since 2021

when he played in 69 games.  He did have 

23 doubles although lower than  any year 

except in 2021.  He had only  57 rbis and

with that he batted .212 with runners in

scoring position.  That shows a lot since

the teams batting average RISP was .233.

The team batting was .228 so they were

slightly higher with runners on base. 

A healthy Cal and Josh in 2027  will help

the Mariners a lot in 2027. We know Cal

being a catcher it will be hard to come

by over the full season. Hopefully whoever 

is Manager and the backup catcher Cal

will  catch less games in 2027. Go M's 

Seattle Kraken 1-1 Over Weekend

The Seattle Kraken has their second and

third games on the season so they are 

now 2-1.

On Saturday the Kraken lost to Edmonton

Oilers on their home place 3-1. Not a

big surprise since the Oilers and the 

Vegas Golden Knights are two of the

favorites to win the Pacific division.

After last season still up in the air

how the Kraken will finish though the

bottom half is likely unless they prove

otherwise.

On Sunday they bounced back in their

home opener beating Calgary 6-1 this

being the same score as they won in

Calgary on Thursday. 

Tuesday the Kraken play  Vegas at home. 

This game may give us more answers we

hope. After that they have two days off

before playing the Redwings in Detroit

and on Sunday the Washington Capitals 

on the road too.  In all the Kraken have

five road games in a row before coming 

home. Go Kraken. 

Where the Mariners Go Forward

Every Mariners fans and media know it

was it was a rough season and the M's 

management as Dan Wilson as well 

the hitting coach, first base coach and

a couple other long time coaches were

here under Scott Servais were dismissed.

The pitching is still in hand and we haven't 

heard whether Edgar will still stay around. 

Arozarena, Canzone and Young had good 

seasons thou Cole tapered down in the

second half however it was his first full

season. We hope that Arroyo and Montes

will be back at the beginning of next season.

I would give the team an incomplete on the

season instead of being a letter score. 

Having three hitters doing most of job

didn't help. The starting pitching didn't have

a good second half.  The relief pitching

when Matt Brash went down..

Besides adding depth to the bullpen and the

bench it will be important to bring in a

manager and coaches that will change the 

culture. We will see what happens. 

I am enjoying the playoffs and I everyone 

in the Mariners organization is watching.

Go M's.

Seahawks Get Back to a Win

The Seattle Seahawks won on Sunday 

30 to 23. Not smart football in the 4th

quarter though which almost cost them

the game or allow  the LA Chargers to

tie in regulation.

The game was ugly as there was 28

penalties total by both teams. The 

Seahawks had eight personal fouls. 

A critical one in the 4th quarter when

the Chargers had third down and thirty 

and roughing the quarterback. After 

that the Seahawks had the Chargers

deep in their side of the field went for

it on 4th down and the Seahawks gave

up a 30 yard pass for a first down that 

led to a touchdown. 

The Seahawks offense trying to run

the ball with no success kicked back

to the Chargers who were able to get 

the ball down and decided to kick

a field goal to come within the seven 

points. Again the Seahawks offense 

didn't do the job so the Chargers got

it back again. The Seahawks defense 

came through just under a minute to

cause a fumble and they were able

to run out the game.

Justin Herbert Chargers  quarterback 

did a fine job being hurt by the Seahawks 

and fortunately turned over the ball

three times.   The Seahawks led at halftime 

20-6. Had ten points to the Chargers seven

in the 3rd quarter but none in the 4th.

Emanuel Wilson did a fine job running

the ball until the 4th quarter. He had

a touchdown both running and catching.

Tory Horton had a touchdown too.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had five catches

however the Chargers kept him out of

the end zone 

The Seahawks play the San Francisco next 

week but they must play  better to win.

The 49ers are undefeated beating the

Broncos. The Rams lost to the Eagles

so the Seahawks are second place

at 3-1. Go Hawks. 

WSU Lose Ugly At Home

The Cougars were a slight favorite 

heading into Saturday's evening

game but ended up losing to 

Fresno State Bulldogs 26-6 at

home. 

This was the first game of Pac-12 

action for both teams. Positive 

for the Bulldogs and not so good 

for the Cougars. 

The game was tied 6-6 at halftime 

despite struggling on offense and

defense keeping them in the game. 

Fresno State kicked a field goal

in the first quarter.  Second quarter 

the Cougars tied then responded a

second time after the  Bulldogs 

had kicked their second field goal.

It was a positive aspect for the Cougars

as field goal kicker Jack Stevens had

struggled going into this game. His

first kick was 32 yards and the second.

50 was a big accomplishment. 

The Cougars had only 30 yards rushing

was a season low. Quarterback Caden

Pinnick had 11 carries for a negative 23

yards. Still not impressive without it.

A great part on the Bulldogs as they are

averaging 171 yards against the run.

Made quite the adjustment since the 

Cougars are averaging 152.8 on the 

ground. Pinnick was second on the 

Cougars 51.5 yards per game. 

Running back Kirby Vorhees had 25 ysrds

on six carries to lead the Cougars. The 

Cougars ran the ball 24 times while Pinnick

threw the ball 34 times while completing 

21 for 152 yards and one touchdown.

The Cougars are averaging 161 yards 

passing per game so not a big difference.

The Cougars will have a short memory 

as they play at Utah State next Friday 

evening.  Utah State has the same record 

as the Cougars at 1-4. 

The big question is how long will the

Cougars stick with Pinnick as quarterback?

Go Cougs.

Huskies Have Disappointing Loss

The USC Trojans were favored by a lot

over the Huskies who made it a game.

Final  Trojans 25 Huskies 21

The Huskies came down to their last

series against the Trojans. They had 

to match down from deep in their 

territory to come up short. The Huskies

made several  first down on tough third

and fourth downs to be able to win.

Unfortunately the last play they had 

came short on fourth down. 

In the first quarter about half way the 

Trojans scored first with a field goal.

Under two minutes left the 1st quarter

wide receiver  Dezman Roebuck three

a five yard touchdown in the end zone.

Just under ten minutes left in the second

quarter the Trojans scored their first

touchdown to take the lead. The  Huskies 

had a one yard touchdown run by tight

end Kaden Elridge to make the Huskies

ahead at halftime 14-10.

The Huskies were able to stop the Trojans

who had the first series of the second

half. The Huskies were able to go down 

the field and on a long pass of 42 yards

to tight end Decker DeGraaf at 13:30 in

the third quarter. It was the last score they

made leading 21-10. The Trojans scored

twice for touchdowns in the third quarter 

to take a 22-21 lead at the end of the 3rd

quarter.  The Trojans kicked a 39  yard 

field goal to make the final 25-21 at 9:36 

in the 4th quarter.

The Huskies had the opportunity to 

score twice more in the game on

two turnovers by the Trojans but.

couldn't capitalize on them. The Huskies

are now 0-2 in Big Ten play.  Next Friday 

evening the Huskies will be back home

against Iowa. We hope for a better result.

Go Dawgs.

Washington Huskies, WSU Cougars and Gonzaga Men's Basketball Coming Up

All three schools have started fall practice 

heading into the nonleague schedule.

All three schools have had turnover with

some graduations and the transfer portal.

These days the transfer portal is a big 

reality though in respect hurting the college 

sport more than others. 

The Washington Huskies men's basketball 

team biggest player to replace was freshman

Hannes Steinbach the teams best player.

Unlike others he went to the NBA as lottery

pick to Carolina. We wish him a good career.

I thought that the players who they had 

that didn't graduate along with Steinbach

was a good unit needing to add a couple 

pieces but that didn't happen. The Huskies 

were #12 ranked in the Big Ten Conference 

because of injuries. With the new roster

including six players through the transfer

portal they are hoping to break into the top

nine of the conference which become success

with it being one of the top conferences in the 

country.

The Huskies start their season on November 

2 playing Colgate in nine non-conference 

games. Two teams in the early  will be third

game Utah former Pac-12 opponent and

on November 23 in Southeast Invitational

in Maui Hawaii they play BYU.   In early 

December they will play conference rivals

USC and UCLA. On December 19 they

game on Baylor at Climate Pledge Arena 

in Seattle. 

The Huskies will begin the rest of their 

Big Ten schedule against  Michigan on

the road followed by Michigan State. 

In all they play 20 games in the Big Ten

ending with Oregon at home on March

6. Go Dawgs.

The Washington State Cougars aren't

expected to finish well placing 9th

and last in the new Pac-12. Two top

head liners are freshmen Lazerek Houston

and Jamari Phillips. They lost top freshman 

Ace Glass who transfered. They have 

eight players transfer including Casey Jones

from nearby Eastern Washington.

The Cougars will not play a regular season 

game against the Huskies however they

will have an exhibition game on October 25

at Washington.   The Cougars have a 32

game schedule including 16 in conference 

play. They start the season at home against

Davidson on November 2.  On November 21

they play Duke in Palm Springs California.

In December on the 12th play UNLV,

followed by Seattle University on the 19th

and finish the month on the 28th against

LSU all in the road.  They begin conference 

play January 3 at Fresno State. They play 

Gonzaga on the 6th at home. They play the

Zags in Spokane on February 17. They end

the season at home against Texas State.

The conference tournament begins on the

10th. Go Cougs.

Gonzaga is favored to win the Pac-12.  I

am sure at least some of the teams in

the West Coast Conference are glad they

are gone. 

The Zags have 13. non league games.

They begin on November 2 playing 

Purdue in Las Vegas. They play UCLA,

Michigan State and Oregon of the Big

Ten as well. Like the Cougars they play

Duke to on February 20 in Detroit 

Michigan.  They have LSU and Kansas 

State earlier on the schedule.  They 

have 16 games in the Pac-12 schedule.

They start January 6 at Washington 

State and end on March 6 at Colorado 

State. 

The Zags have 15 players on their roster

with only three returning with Braden Huff

the most notable who missed all conference 

games last season because of injury. 

They have three incoming freshmen so the 

remaining nine are transfers. Three of them

waiting on being eligible to play. Go Zags 

As as we know will let you know what each

teams depth chart looks like. 

Preview LA Chargers at Seattle Seahawks

It is still hard to think of the Chargers in

Los Angeles then in San Diego. At least 

the original fans can drive there.

The Chargers have started off slow being

0-3. The Seahawks losing last week might

help not to lose this week.  Having no wind

it is hard to know how the players of the 

Chargers feel whether down or having nothing 

to lose except another game.

The Seahawks right now favored by a

touchdown to win. Ty Okada didn't 

practice again with his hamstring injury.

At this point he will miss his 4th game.

Julian Love had limited practice however

he should play on Sunday. The same goes

with running back Jadarian Price along 

with fellow rb George Holani.  

The Chargers have seven players who

haven't practiced yet this week including 

a few starters so they might not be at

full strength either.

Justin Herbert the Chargers quarterback 

hasn't gotten off to a good start of as yet

and hopefully not for another week. He

has passed 627 total in the three weeks

with three touchdowns and four interceptions 

so the Seahawks have a good chance to

pick him off. He is completing only 58 per

cent of his passes. The Chargers are converting

only 35 percent of their third downs. An 

area the Seahawks can improve as they are

st 33.3 percent converting third downs.

Omario Hampton is the Chargers primary 

running back he has 50 carries on the 

season  for 193 at 3.9 yards per carry 

and has the only two touchdowns on

the ground for them.

The Chargers have two wide receivers in

double figures for catches Ladd McConkey

with 12 for 183 yar weds and 1 touchdown.

Tre Harris has 10 catches for 149 yards

and no touchdowns. Tight end Oronde 

Gadsden II has a touchdown  to in the air. 

The Chargers 14 points each in the first

two games of the season and 16 in game

three. The gave up 26 points in the first

two games while 24 against the Buffalo 

Bills this week. The Seahawks scored 31

points in the last two games including

the loss to Commanders. We will see

how this one goes.  Go Hawks!

News came out Friday that running back 

Jadarian Price will not play on Sunday.

Most likely Emanuel Wilson will start 

in his place. 

Seattle Kraken Win Season Opener Easy

This will be Seattle Kraken sixth season in

the National Hockey League. They made 

the playoffs in their second season 2022-

23 however have been a disappointment 

since. They are on their third head coach 

with him  in his second season. We are 

hoping for a turnaround to at least make 

the playoffs again.

The Kraken drafted 50 players in the.

NHL draft which includes this year's 

draft. On their 23 man roster they have

seven who were drafted by the them.

Five of the seven were from the first

draft in 2021.  They have six players

which include Jordan Erberle and Jared

McCann who were in the expansion 

draft who are still on the team.  So

that makes 10 of the 23 players who

were not drafted either way on the team.

The Kraken opened the season Thursday 

evening beating the Calgary Flames on

their home court 6-1.  That is a dominance 

for sure. We will have to wait how the 

season will go however this a good start 

for sure.

Jordan Erberle scored the first goal of

the season for the season. Vince Dunn 

another expansion pick and original 

Kraken scored the second goal 32

seconds later.  All six goals were made

by six different players. Jared McCann

had three assists on the night. Goaltender 

Joey Daccord also an expansion draft 

pick stopped 24 of 25 shots on the 

evening. 

The Kraken's next game will be Saturday 

visiting the Edmonton Oilers. The home

opener will be on Sunday against the

Flames again. Next Tuesday the Kraken 

be host to the Vegas Golden Knights.

In the first half of October the Kraken 

will play eight games in total. Go Kraken.

Preview Fresno State at Washington State

The Cougars are going to look to

beat Fresno State at home Saturday 

evening.  Expected to be a close 

game as the Cougars are favored
