It's a football Friday! Ian previews the weekend ahead.  Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! gives us his thoughts on the Demond Williams saga. It's a sad state of college football. We listen to Hugh Millen from this morning, who had some pretty strong thoughts on the situation. Danny reacts.  Drake Thomas, Seahawks LB made one of the most critical plays of the Seattle's final game against the 49ers with a game-sealing interception. He tells Ian what happened on that play. He also talks about his path from undrafted free agency to becoming an integral part of this dominant Seahawks' defense.  The Daily Power Play!  Rob Rang, FOX Sports and BC Lions of course weighs in on Demond Williams, which is a whole fiasco on his own. Interestingly enough, Rob sees Williams as more of a CFL prospect than in the NFL. Rob reacts to last night's semi-final game and previews tonight's between Oregon and Indiana.  Checking in on the Text Line!  Crosstalk with Softy!

Ian can't get enough of the Demond Williams story, and it's not because of his Cougar roots - it's because of what a fascinating story it is. Can it be the tipping point in college sports to make changes for the better? While it's splashy here in town, this isn't the first time it's happened. Ian hopes this is the start of a better system, but has very little faith it'll happen.  Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum tells Ian what we saw last weekend from the Seahawks was one of the best defensive performances he's seen from any Seattle team. It's right up there with anything we saw from the Legion of Boom. What does Nick Emmanwori mean to this team? Finally, a preview of the 49ers vs. the Eagles this weekend, in which Corbin sees Philly winning easily.  The Daily Power Play!  Tod Leiweke, Kraken President and CEO reflects on his time with the Seahawks and what he saw in John Schneider that made him the ideal candidate for Seattle when Tod brought him in. He also discusses the strides the Kraken have taken to embrace their fans, the new developments at Memorial Stadium and what's next for the NBA here in Seattle.  Checking in on the Voice and Text Lines!  Crosstalk with Softy!

When it comes to the Demond Williams transferring, Ian isn't necessarily gloating, but he has one thing to say: welcome to the club. Where does the outrage lie - in losing the talent, the fact he signed a deal or elsewhere? What happened to UW is what's happening to everyone around the country. Nobody is immune. The most egregious part of his announcement, to Ian, what that it occurred during the memorial for Mia Hammant.   Stewart Mandel, The Athletic joins us to preview the CFB semifinals this weekend, as he's on his way to the Fiesta Bowl.  Tod Leiweke, Kraken President and CEO talks about the resurgence we've seen from the team lately, how impactful Coach Lambert has been and the key to their recent success.  Mike Holmgren talks to Ian about the benefits of the bye week for the Seahawks and the challenges the teams who play this weekend face. He shares his own memories and experiences throughout his time as the head coach of the Seahawks and how it applies to the team we're seeing today.  Checking in on the Talkbacks! Listeners weigh in on the Demond Williams portal situation and boy do they have some opinions.  Crosstalk with Softy!
