Brought to you by HOFFIE today !

6:27    Compared to last year, "It didn't get worse, but it didn't get better," Mitch says about the Husky football team.  This draws a loud guffaw from Sandy.

6:29    Sandy refers to last Thursday's Stanford v. Oregon State tilt as "sort of a pillow fight" (dramatization, above).

6:32    Syracuse fell to Northwestern over the weekend, Mitch to hands the aforementioned dollar back to Sandmeyer.  Mitch was up a buck for all of 21 minutes.



6:33    A whirlwind recap of the weekend's college football picks ends with Mitch calling for everybody to give Slick Rick some "props" after UCLA's 27-24 OT upset of Tennessee.

6:43    Good mornings to Mike in Hayden, ID, Laurie the Real Estate Agent, and John [McGrath] in Tacoma, WA.

6:44    Hoffie is in for [Producer Josh] Sabrowsky today, "September call-ups," reasons Mitch.



6:46     Mitch beams as he brings up Syracuse (and Penthouse) alum Vanessa Williams.

6:51    On the WSU/UW rivalry, Sandmeyer says that it's "what Cougars do. They would rather see Washington lose, than their own team win."

6:55    Booking the Schnoz is almost as difficult as Sabrowsky says.

7:00    The Morning Montage



7:12    "It's great to be back at UCLA, baby!"  Rick Neuheisel, sounding more Hollywood, is using George Costanza's "babies" now.

7:21    "I've always found it's very difficult in the modern era to keep things away from your football team." Coach Willingham's statement wins Mitch's favorite

7:27    ESPN.com's Jason Stark joins the radio show: LISTEN HERE!

7:52    Update – we've reached the top of the 7 o'clock hour

8:02    The Daily Schnoz – Columbus, OH; Milwaukee, WI; Jacksonville, FL; Phoenix, AZ.

8:33    Update – it's now the top of the 8 o'clock hour

8:40    Beano Cook joins the show for the (belated-by-a-day) birthday edition of his weekly chat: LISTEN HERE!



9:26    Mitch boasts the "A" team, Ron Pitts and Tony Boselli, are on the call for this weekend's FOX broadcast of the Seahawks.  A forlorn, "Bummer," is all Sandmeyer can muster.

9:33    Mitch and Sandy break the news that, as selected by captain Paul Azinger, Happy Gilmore will be featured on this year's losing US Ryder Cup team.

9:41    Mitch asks Sandy, somewhat rhetorically, if Husky fans take pride in reacting differently than fans of other big-time football programs.



9:49    Sandy's final point to Husky fans: "CHECK YOUR PRIDE AT THE DOOR.  Husky Stadium is a DUMP."

6:07 Hugh Millen is in-studio today ... Happy Labor Day! 

6:09 Mitch and Gaschk remind Hugh that "this is the 'Morning Show of the Year' – according to Seattle Magazine" in 2007

6:10 Dropping a diet beverage onto Hugh Millen's counter space, Mitch asks me what-gives and where "the Radio Host of the Year's diet beverage?


The Ford Center: Apparently, a "World Class" facility

6:13 Despite the holiday, Mitch says our listeners are in store for a "world class" radio show. He then wonders aloud if, "[we] can do George Carlin’s 'Seven Words'?" because our audience is presumably slimmer

6:15 Hugh makes Mitch guess "what time he was up until" this morning (answer: 4:15 a.m.). He was allegedly watching the film from Oregon/UW 

6:35 After brainstorming and rehashing the issue, Mitch and Hugh conclude that "[A] crayon drawing by Mitch's youngest son’s" will serve as the trophy for today’s award-winning radio show. “Throw it on the refrigerator,” says Hugh 



6:46 Mitch's hypothetical phone call from UW AD Scott Woodward: “We didn’t practice, that’s why its closed” explaining the first six minutes of Saturday night's game 
6:51 Mitch likens the first six minutes of the Husky game to a an SNL skit

7:19 The Morning Montage 

7:20 Mitch bags today's Daily Schnoz on an account that we're not having much luck today! 

7:21 Jordan Babineaux's incident is described as such: “an undisclosed matter or incident which he admitted to immediately.” Hugh says this probably translates to “having too much fun at a party."  


7:24 Mitch crowns Chris Rock as the guy who should tell TJ Duckett's dramatic story of channelling Barry Sanders in the last two weeks "He’s going to Canton!” Mitch yells 

7:45 Hugh Millen favors the 16-game schedule, starting after Labour Day ... not Mitch's amended 18-game regular season 

7:59 Jake Locker would be the Heisman Trophy winner as a Sophomore if he were running the Oregon offense,” says Mitch, and Hugh Millen agrees 

8:09 Producer's Note: I’m going to go get breakfast for Hugh Millen and myself … BRB 



8:25 Hugh Millen is still steaming from Oregon’s decision on Saturday to “run up the score” with 49-seconds left
8:32 Mitch vows to ask Bellotti this question the next time he’s on the program 

8:56 HMillen “guesses” that Mare will probably be the Kicker in Week 2 … hoping that the Seahawks could sign Coutu to the practice squad 

9:08 A $235,000 Punch to the Forehead” Mitch calls Rocky Bernard’s extracurricular incident 
9:27 Mitch says to keep an eye on the sideline reporter for the Seahawks broadcast on Fox this Sunday 

9:52 Hugh couldn’t the show to expire without touching on the Sonics: “[Howard Schultz] slid away like a cockroach,” he says

Until next time ... enjoy this and listen for the Steve Scheffler referencer ...
