Washington Huskies' new head coach Jimmy Lake calls into the show for an extended interview, talking about what he plans to change, and what he plans to leave the same from the Chris Petersen era, plus an explanation of the hiring of John Donovan as the team's new offensive coordinator. So what did we learn? We explain what we found out from the interview, including news about a Spring Game, and the focus on coaches with an NFL background to get players NFL-ready.

Once again, Mike Holmgren is not given the opportunity to join the Hall of Fame, and it's wrong. Under every metric, Holmgren more than qualifies.

Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show at 49451.

The 49ers have had a huge rebound this season, and it's led them all the way to the NFC Championship. There's no doubt that Richard Sherman has been a big part of their success. Should the Seahawks have made an effort to re-sign him two years ago? We take your calls. Kevin Harlan has had a chance to see the Seahawks play a few times this season, including last weekend in Green Bay. So, does he think the team is ascending or descending? There's a reason why we haven't seen any grad transfers at Washington. How easy would it be to get the administration to change things?

LSU wins the college football national championship last night, led by quarterback Joe Burrow completing 64 percent of his passes, by far his worst percentage all season, and yet he and that offense looked unstoppable. Trevor Lawrence did not look great, but he doesn't deserve the criticism he's receiving today. It's yet another year when the elite of college football make it to the top while everyone else falls short. Only eleven teams in the last six years have made the College Football Playoff. Only six teams have won games, and only four have won a title. For the vast majority of college football teams, there is no road to the playoffs. Punishment has come down for the Houston Astros in relation to the sign stealing scandal. The manager and GM have been suspended, and then immediately released, draft picks have been lost, and a fine has ben issued. Knowing how this has all worked out for Houston, would you take the same deal assuming you didn't know the M's were cheating until after the World Series win? Lifelong Houston Astros fan Terry Blount calls into the show to react to the punishment handed down.

A former football player at Penn State has sued the university, and James Franklin, after alleged violent hazing.

...And that's the end of the 2019 Seahawks season, a loss to Green Bay at Lambeau Field, playing out almost exactly as every other game this season has. Obviously, a lot of frustration today, but also respect for the team making yet another playoff run. Pete Carroll holds what is his final day-after press conference of the season, discussing everything that went down in yesterday's game. Softy asks, after 24 hours to reflect, what is your prevailing emotion today? Are you upset with the loss yesterday, or are you thankful that the team makes the playoffs year after year?

It looked like the Hawks were going to do exactly what they always do. They were going to come back and win that game in Green Bay, down 5 with just 4 minutes left, and then Malik Turner dropped the ball. Maybe they wouldn't have made it all the way down field, but it felt like that play changed the momentum of the game back in the favor of the Packers. Another big play, this one in our favor, got overshadowed by the final score, and Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest can't help but notice the similarities between the Shaquem Griffin sack yesterday, and the Jermaine Kearse Super Bowl catch. He joins the show to explain. Pete Carroll has compared this team to the 2012 team. Both seasons ended in a divisional round loss after an attempt at a comeback. Are you more upset about this loss, or were you more upset after that one? Marshawn Lynch took the podium after the loss giving advice to his younger teammates. If you haven't heard it, we've got he audio.

We've been waiting to find out who the new Husky offensive coordinator would be, and at long last, we finally have our answer. It's John Donovan! Wait, who's John Donovan? Well, apparently he was the OC with Vanderbilt and Penn State and has been the last few years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. So was this a good hire? Well, the jury is obviously still out but some seem concerned. The best approach right now is of course to wait and see what happens. If the offense doesn't improve under him after a year, we can start evaluating his performance. Right now let's just see what he can do. Wayne Larrivee, voice of the Packers joins the show to give us some insight into the Green Bay team; how they've evolved over the past few years and what makes them tick, plus the psyche of a Packer fan, and football culture in Wisconsin. So how likely are the Hawks to win on Sunday? What about the other divisional round games? We get picks from our handicapper Lee Sterling.
