On this Election Day, we take a poll on the best General Managers in Seattle sports history. John Schneider has to be number one, with back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl victory, and drafting a number of great players including the best quarterback in franchise history. Garth Lagerwey is probably second, again with back-to-back championship appearances and a win, plus a third appearance (and hopefully another win) now. Who comes in after them? Could Mike Leach be leaving WSU? His name has been mentioned for another job, but more importantly, if he leaves, how appealing is the Washington State coaching job? We get the thoughts on Alex Brink and Jed Collins on that, plus the current state of the team, and the game against Cal this weekend.

It looks as though the Seahawks defense has some serious flaws. Bobby Wagner has some thoughts on the state of the defense after Sunday's narrow victory over Tampa. Nigel Burton discusses all things happening around the Pac-12. It looks like either Oregon or Utah could be on their way to the College Football Playoff. What would it take for them to get there? Texts at 49451 with Seattle's best GM's, and more. Kevin says take the Rams -3.5 on Fact or Fiction. Softy asks Ian who the next WSU football coach will be if Mike Leach goes to Florida State.

Seahawks finally get the win in overtime yesterday, defeating Tampa 40-34. Up next, the battle of the two best teams in the NFC West next Monday. One of those teams looks the part, the other, not so much. Russell Wilson is putting on a clinic, Lockett is having an All Pro year, and D. K. Metcalf is proving to be what we'd hoped he'd be. Even Carson, despite the drops, has had a solid year. Beyond that though, this team just isn't good. The defense for example has only gotten 15 sacks, way down from years past. Without Wilson, the Seahawks would be in a world of hurt. It's hard to be so brutal on a team after a win, and with a 7-2 record, but this is the reality of this team. With a more in-depth look at the game, our football analyst Hugh Millen.

Ian caught up with both Jacob Hollister and Mychal Kendricks after the game yesterday. They both talked about the resilience of this Seahawk team. Mike Sando takes a more broad look at the National Football League. How were so few teams interesting in Josh Gordon? Texts react to the show at 49451: accusing Ian of giving the Hawks the Mariners treatment. Tampa is better than their record, and that's why Ian is taking them on Fact or Fiction. Softy reacts to the game. Carson getting 105 yards against Tampa isn't getting much talk today.
