On this episode of the Watts Up Sports Hour, Washington Husky legend Donald Watts joins J.B. for a deep dive into the psychology of game day. Donald breaks down the difference between rituals and superstitions, sharing personal stories from his playing days and coaching career—including why mismatched socks mattered and why autographs had to wait.

We also ride the wave of Mariners fever as Seattle hosts its first ALCS game in 24 years. Donald explains how team chemistry, mental toughness, and fan energy can elevate performance beyond analytics, and why this squad feels special—comparing their grit to the Seahawks' legendary brotherhood.

Plus, we pivot to the Seahawks' defensive turnaround, the rise of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and what's fueling this offense ahead of Monday Night Football. And don't miss Donald's take on the Huskies' upcoming showdown with Michigan—a true barometer for playoff hopes.

Tune in for insight, energy, and the sound of Seattle sports!
