Furness Show with Mike Benton! 2-23: Matt Chazanow, Bucky and Dave Hakstol Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

Matt Chazanow, Voice of the Cougars puts last night into his top five games of all he's ever called, explains what it means for the team. He doesn't see a potential downfall for WSU the rest of this season and isn't convinced the Arizona State game tomorrow night is a trap game. Bucky Jacobsen joins us to give the landscape of the Mariners, plus what it's like inside Hugh Millen's house. Bucky might never come home. Bucky breaks down what the lineup looks like from a 'healthy' perspective, but 'potential' doesn't mean anything until they go out there and do it. While Bucky would love to have Blake Snell as a part of this rotation, he doesn't think it's worth the sacrifice for what you'd have to give up in the future, from a financial standpoint. Dave Hakstol, Kraken Head Coach joins to talk about the 5-2 win over the Canucks last night, but he does say it's a quick turnaround. What did the regular season series tell him about the way the Kraken handled Vancouver last night? Coach tells us what the future looks like for the team.

Show notes

Dan Wilson, Mariners Great joins to tell us more about Heart Health Day and why it's so important to him. Plus, as a former catcher, what does he see in Cal Raleigh? Who or what gives Dan optimism for this upcoming Mariners season? Chuck Powell joins us from Peoria to give us insight from Mariners camp. There's a significant emphasis to starting out strong this year, as they failed to capitalize off the momentum at the beginning of the season last year. Dave Tomlinson, Canucks Analyst tells Ian what should give Kraken fans confidence that they could make the post-season this year. The next few weeks are pivotal for this team. Managing nerves in tight games will be critical. How important is the Washington State game tonight against Arizona? Gary Parrish says maintaining their national ranking will depend more on Saturday's game against Arizona State than tonight's against Arizona. College basketball is way more about avoiding the big loss, rather than achieving a huge upset win.

The Ian Furness Show 2-20: College Athletics, Chuck Powell, Daily Power Play, Gary Parrish. Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

The state of college athletics is exhausting at this point. But perhaps it's only in this area, as we still see the atmosphere alive and well in other areas. How can we get excited about the Mariners where they are right now? Well, what we're hearing on the morning show certainly is a reason to get fired up. Cal Raleigh told Chuck and Buck this morning that Seattle wants him here. How much could Scott Boras play a part in making that happen, or making sure it doesn't? Cal certainly made a case for him to be coveted, especially as a catcher. Chuck Powell joins us from Peoria and says what a special player Cal Raleigh is and doesn't see a reason why he wouldn't be a Mariner for the long haul. Plus, who could surprise us in the rotation this season? Daily Power Play! The Kraken have had moments of greatness, but also quite a lot of frustration. Despite that, they're still hanging around. Gary Parrish, CBS Sports joins Ian as we are just weeks away from Selection Sunday! How about them Cougs!
