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.

Go M's 

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!
