The Mariners won again! They're now 6-1, and most importantly, Felix gave us a ray of hope by having a solid outing. Now we just need the defense behind him to get it together and stop looking like a beer league squad. There are just four teams left in the NCAA Tournament; four teams that almost no one expected. So what can we expect from the Final Four? We find out from college basketball insider Gary Parrish. We get his thoughts on Virginia head coach Tony Bennett, the lack of one-and-dones, and the new WSU head coach Kyle Smith. Russell Wilson has reportedly set a deadline with the Seahawks, wanting a deal done by April 15. New York Islanders goalie Robin Lehner reaches out to a young fan on Something Good.

Russell Wilson has reportedly given the Seahawks an April 15th deadline to get a contract done this year. So what happens once the deadline hits and a deal isn't done? Could this be a strategy to help Frank Clark? We aren't really sure what it all means, but it is pretty safe to assume that at the end of the day, Russell Wilson isn't going anywhere. When you have a great quarterback, you don't just let him go. Last week Washington State announced the hire of its new basketball coach Kyle Smith. Today is Ian's first chance to talk with him about his vision for the future of WSU basketball, including coaching philosophy, analytics, recruiting and more. Texts on the Heritage Distilling Text Line react to the latest Seahawks QB news, and Softy has thoughts on the latest developments as he gets ready for his show at 3.

Tuesdays at 1:20, it's time for Ian's weekly conversation with CBSSports.com and CBS Sports college basketball analyst Gary Parrish, sponsored by Spokane's No-Li Brewhouse, makers of Born and Raised, and Big and Juicy IPA, your local independent brewery. Washington made, with Washington ingredients.

Seven games into the season and tonight is the first start of the year for Felix Hernandez, something we never really expected to see, but here we are. Felix hasn't won a game since last June. His numbers weren't great to say the least, and Spring Training numbers didn't improve at all. Today though, a new season begins for Felix. Before we automatically throw the man under the bus, let's think of all the things he's done for the team over the years, give the man a shot tonight, and hope he proves something. That aside, the Mariners are what we thought they were. Okay, we didn't really expect them to be 5-1 including winning 3 of 4 against the World Champion Red Sox, but we're seeing a lot of what we expected from the team. They've got a great offense, putting up huge numbers, but the bullpen is struggling, and defense isn't too great. Can they make it work with what they have, or will they come tumbling back to earth? Washington State's new basketball coach Kyle Smith was officially introduced today, and we have some of the highlights. The program has really only had three successful coaches in its history. Hopefully Smith can be the fourth. One Something Good, the invention of the one-minute MRI, and Texas Tech coach Chris Beard.

Bill Krueger joins us once again this year to talk all things M's courtesy of Venue Kings. Today, how do players feel about the "closer by committee"? Also, who could be our closer without Strickland, thoughts on the offense, and Felix's first start. Rob Rang checked out UW's Pro Day. He's got some thoughts on Taylor Rapp's 40 time, plus other happenings from Husky players. Texts come in on the Heritage Distilling Text Line at 49451. Softy weighs in on the first start of the year by Felix Hernandez.

The Mariners are 3-0! Maybe it's not the most meaningful stat with 159 games left to play, bu tit feels good to get a start like this. A lot is made about the Red Sox and Blue Jays fans taking over our stadium when their teams are in town, but yesterday's atmosphere was fantastic. It helps when the M's blow the other guys out of course, but the important thing is that these games are a lot of fun, so buy a ticket and go to a game. There's lots happening in the NFL, from trades, to rule changes, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, fresh off of signing his own new contract, has all of the latest. On Something Good, Giannis Antetokounmpo takes some time to share an emotional moment with a young fan.
