Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Softy makes his second Fact or Fiction pick of the week. Is Jon Gruden approaching the Raiders the right way, and is it the way the Seahawks should have approached the season? Would you rather be 3-3, or 1-5 with a bunch of first round picks? Petros Papadakis discusses the competitive Pac-12 North, is Gardner Minshew a system QB, Larry Scott and the conference controversies, and Husky fans should be careful what they wish for. Textimonials with their most missed Seahawks players still in the league.

A lot of questions surrounded Frank Clark when he was drafted by Seattle. He's matured a lot since then, both as a player, and as a human being. He talks with Softy about those changes. Marshawn is injured, and might be done for good. Does he make the Hall of Fame? Is this season the end for Eli with the Giants? How will the Hawks stack up against Detroit? Kevin Harlan of Westwood One answers all of those questions. After looking up stats on the Lions, it's pretty clear they've got some defensive weaknesses, and the Hawks can take advantage of that by running the ball down their throats.

Dick Fain gets to pick today on Fact or Fiction, and he's taking the Hawks +3 against Detroit. The Seahawks continue to rank highly in so many categories despite losing most of their key players. How? It's because of Pete Carroll. As long as he's coaching this team, it's going to find a way to win. Can we officially eliminate the Oregon Ducks from the Pac-12 North race? Jon Wilner answers that, discusses the latest conference drama, and more. Textimonials weigh in on the first two hours of the show.

Former Seahawk, Hall of Famer Walter Jones joins us to talk all things Seahawks. He describes how he'd handle bye weeks, his thoughts on the upcoming Detroit game, Frank Clark's motivation with a contract on the line, and more. ProFootballTalk and NBC Sports' Mike Florio takes a look around the National Football League. It's already time for college basketball as UW has already played an exhibition game against Nevada. Coach Mike Hopkins talks about his expectations for the team this season. As basketball gets underway, regular season soccer is wrapping up with the Sounders playing the last game before the playoffs this weekend against San Jose. Brian Schmetzer talks about what he hopes to see from the game, and how closely he'll be watching the Dallas match in hopes of a bye.

The Dawgs won twice on Saturday; first beating Colorado, and second, watching the Ducks lose to the Cougs. Cougar fans are way too excited about what Dawg fans think of them today, and the fact that they're calling this the biggest weekend ever for WSU football is just sad. With the Ducks losing, the Huskies, Cougs, and Stanford all control their own destiny as they battle for the North. The end of Saturday's game at Husky Stadium proves once again that Petersen either has no faith in the running game, or is deliberately avoiding it as a strategy. Pete Carroll talks to the media as the team gets back to work after a bye week.

We are live from the Emerald Queen Casino. It's our first Fact or Fiction pick of the week, and this time it's a game that actually happens this week. Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins us to talk some college football; Husky analysis and criticism of Pac-12 scheduling. Textimonials weigh in on all things Dawgs. The Raiders have officially placed Marshawn Lynch on the IR which could mean the end of his career. Is he good enough to be a Hall of Fame candidate? There are players with better numbers ahead of him who aren't in.

Dawg fans had high hopes of making the playoffs this year. That seems unlikely now, but the Rose Bowl is still very much in play. If they fall short of that however... Is it a disappointment if the Dawgs don't make the Rose Bowl? We get your thoughts on another edition of Regional Reaction. If the Huskies don't make it, who would Dawg fans rather see in the Rose Bowl; Ducks or Cougars? Rick Neuheisel says the Huskies are still the favorite for the conference championship.

Softy makes his final Fact or Fiction pick of the week. Dick asks, if Browning was out for six weeks and Haener is tearing it up, what happens when Browning comes back? There's a lot of great audio around football, especially coming out of Pullman. We have the highlights on Fun with Audio. Textimonials weigh in on all things Washington.

Everyone's been trying to figure out who tomorrow's guest picker will be in Pullman. LaVar Ball seems to think it is going to be him. Husky broadcaster Bob Rondeau talks about all things Huskies, from last week's loss, to this week's game against the Buffaloes. Anthony Beyrouti of Venue Kings talks about the crazy demand for this weekend's game at Martin Stadium. For Dawgs fans, this game in Pullman is a win-win situation.
