The Ian Furness Show

Thursday at 2pm is your weekly chance to improve your chances at winning this weekend's fantasy football matchup thanks to Brandon Funston of The Athletic. Brandon appears thanks to the Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Northwest.

It's Wednesday, so of course Ian is out at the VMAC as the Hawks get ready to take on New Orleans this coming weekend. Pete Carroll just wrapped up his Wednesday chat with the media. Among other things, he referenced the continuing debate over paying players, stating that he's against it, and it really isn't a surprise. Coaches stick with coaches; guys who have made six or seven figures a year are going to defend the system that has made them their money. KJ Wright sits down with Ian talking about the opportunity to stay in Seattle, comparisons between this team and the 2013 Hawks team, and more. Virginia coach, and former WSU coach, Tony Bennett had every opportunity to get a raise, but instead chose to have that money put into providing opportunities for his players: that's today's Something Good.

Mike Holmgren joins us for his weekly visit, discussing the numerous injuries to starting quarterbacks in the NFL, backups, and the idea of roster expansion. Zach Strief, Saints play-by-play, brewer, and former Saints OT, discusses this weekend's matchup with the Hawks. Ian says ASU won't be ready for this weekend's game: Colorado +7.5. Softy reacts to Mike Leach and more.

Tune in every Wednesday at 2pm to hear Mike Holmgren with Ian Furness on all things NFL and Seahawks. He is brought to you by Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, and by Redbox. For movies and games, head to Redbox, the smarter way to watch and play.

The Saints are already in town, and the Huskies have welcomed them with open arms, teaming up to help them take down the Seahawks... Okay that's not exactly what's happening, and it's probably a huge benefit to have an NFL team on campus, but it's more interesting to look at it the other way. Alex Brink and Jed Collins make their appearance to talk Cougar football after a victory over the "other" Cougars in Houston, plus, how dangerous is this UCLA game? Also, the call for compensation of players continues, but it's going to be complicated to implement.

Ian has heard that Seattle is supposedly out of the running for Jalen Ramsey, but whether we manage to add him or not, there is an excitement around this team .....not seen since 2012 (it's cliche but it's true). Nigel Burton looks back on the week that was in the Pac-12, officiating mistakes, non-conference wins, top 25 appearances, and more. Ian is once again backing the Pac, taking Washington to beat BYU on Fact or Fiction. Softy gets ready for the Honks and more.

No better place to get your Cougars fix than Tuesdays at 1:20pm as Ian talks with former Cougs Alex Brink and Jed Collins. It's brought to you by No-Li Brewing: Brewing award winning beers since 2012 with no boundaries and a focus on local ingredients!
