Chuck and Buck

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO 1. The return of Rivers 2. Seahawks vs Colts 3. NFL week 15 began last night 4. It's Army-Navy week! 5. Sherrone Moore and the Michigan drama 6. UW coming off biggest win, face Southern Utah tomorrow 7. Kraken face the Mammoth 8. Stove is out! :30- MIKE HOLMGREN Coach joins the show a little early today and we get his thoughts on the return of Phillip Rivers and the Seahawks matchup with the Colts. :45- The Heisman trophy ceremony is tomorrow and it seems like Indiana's Fernando Mendoza is a shoo-in, but could there be a surprise in store?

Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg joins us live from Baltimore ahead of the Army-Navy game! Is Phillip Rivers really going to start on Sunday? Can the Seahawks defense contain Jonathan Taylor? Will Rivers just hand the ball off and play it safe and can the Colts afford that? The Colts defense is still a concern for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense. :30- Oh look at that! Somehow Notre Dame has made themselves even MORE unlikeable! :45- We've been talking so much about Phillip Rivers return, so what's the 2nd most interesting thing about the Seahawks/Colts matchup?

Bucky's back and his house is still in the same place! Others have not been so lucky. It's the day before the day before and we are faced with the realization that we might actually watch the Seahawks face 44-year old Phillip Rivers in his first football game in 5 years. Can the Colts keep it close? Rivers has had just three practices and it seems like a perfect opportunity for the Seahawks defense to have another great game. :30- ICYMI: Chris Petersen The former Husky head coach joined the show earlier this week to give us his thoughts on the CFP and whether or not he'd ever coach again. :45- No Cliché Keys to Victory! The Seahawks face the Colts on Sunday, so we give our keys to a Seahawks win, no (some) cliches allowed!

There was a lot to cover on Thursday's show! From the repercussions of the Sherrone Moore firing to the return of Phillip Rivers, we covered it all with Kurt Warner, Mike Sando and our 12th Man Roundtable.

The Sharrone Moore domino effect. With the firing of Sherrone Moore at Michigan, college football fans wait to see if their coach is headed to Ann Arbor and the cycle continues… :30- MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) This isn't the first time a player has come back 5 years after retiring… Is there any chance Rivers has success this week against Seattle? Is Joe Burrow done? Week 15 action starts tonight! :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing.

12th Man Roundtable with HUGH MILLEN & GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We start off with the most obvious topic of discussion- Phillip Rivers might start on Sunday, should he? Did the Colts call Hugh first? How does Hugh feel about Rivers' return? :30- We continue with the Roundtable- What's going on with Jalen Sundell and the O-Line? How special is Nick Emmanwori becoming right before our eyes? Should we have any concerns about the Colts defense? :45- We wrap up our roundtable with Gregg's keys and prediction and Hugh's final thoughts.

Headlines and Moore drama… The situation at Michigan has implications that could affect us right here as Jedd Fisch's name was immediately brought up as a replacement. :20- It's time to play the Old Man game and take a look at some Old Manalytics. Which scenario is more likely; you decide! :40- KURT WARNER (NFL Network/Westwood One) Kurt joins the show to give us his thoughts on Phillip Rivers' return to the NFL after 5 years away. What will be the most difficult part of his return? Sam Darnold's season in Seattle so far… What does Kurt think of the season the Seahawks are having so far?

No Buck today as he deals with flood waters at his house, but he is safe! We are thinking of everyone having to deal with this extreme flooding and hope you are safe as well. Now, onto sports... Michigan fires Sherrone Moore for cause and now, the head coaching possibilities are hitting very close to home as Jedd Fisch, Kalen DeBoer and Chris Petersen's names have been rumored at the top of the list. What the Michigan mess could mean for the Washington Huskies… :30- Phillip Rivers really might START on Sunday against the Seahawks, it's unbelievable. He's been out of the league for 5 years, can he really pull off a successful comeback? :45- The Kraken got a BIG win last night against the Kings in overtime and boy, did they need that!

It's our Wednesday Best of and we have a lot of football to talk about!

It's Humpday so we take a look at the matchup between the Seahawks and Colts and not just focusing on Phillip Rivers' return. Can the Seahawks stop Jonathan Taylor and is that all they need to do to win? :30- AL KINISKY (Kraken Audio Network color analyst) The Kraken have lost 6 in a row and face the Kings tonight, what will it take to stop the skid? What kind of a coach is Lane Lambert and can he turn this team around? Was it the right time for Eberle to step up and say something to the team? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

Yesterday we spoke with Rick Neuheisel and got straight down to business about whether or not he was going to be the next head coach of WSU football. Would Neuheisel be a good fit and should the Cougs at least be considering Coach or someone like him? :30- It seems like the Seahawks face an extraordinary number of backup quarterbacks and haven't always had a lot of luck against them, but how accurate is that? :45- Aikman is done with NIL, how long before others follow?

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Will Phillip Rivers actually play for the Colts on Sunday against the Seahawks? How will the O-line adjust with the return of Jalen Sundell? :30- It appears that the negotiations between the Mariners and Jorge Polanco aren't going as smoothly as we'd hoped with Jorge and his agent perhaps asking for more than the Mariners are comfortable with, but should they step out of their comfort zone just a bit? :45- Chuck gets Reckless at Breakfast and fixes college football in 7 minutes. You're welcome.

It's wet out there! It's official, Phillip Rivers has signed with the Colts and could legitimately be the backup QB when the Colts face the Seahawks on Sunday. It's not about his age, it's about the fact that he's been out of the game for 5 years already; he's on the Hall of Fame ballot for goodness sake! :30- Are bowl games done and should they be? With the ever-evolving landscape of college football, do bowl games even make sense? :45- We continue our bowl game conversation and Chuck has some thoughts on how bowl games could evolve if they were to keep them.

For Tuesday's best of, we have got some doozies for you! Have the Kraken hit rock-bottom? Did the NFL refs actually get it right? Who is the best player on the Seahawks? Will Rick Neuheisel be the next head coach of the Washington State Cougars?

RICK NEUHEISEL ( CBS Sports) - We've never had a conversation with Neuheisel quite like this one! - Will he be the next coach at WSU? Would he want to coach the Cougs? - Who should be the angriest with the college football playoff committee? :30- The Ol Judge is here and ready to weigh in on stuff! - Is Nick Emmanwori or Devon Witherspoon the Seahawks best player? - Will the Mariners regret the Harry Ford trade? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

GENE STERATORE (CBS Rules Analyst) - Justin Herbert's injury - How on Earth was that Isaiah Likely catch NOT a touchdown? - Did the Seahawks get away with one? - Does replay assist need replay assist? :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Netowrk PxP) Have the Kraken hit rick-bottom? After last night's 6th loss in a row, some of the players believe so. Do they need to try harder? What will it take for this team to snap the skid? :45- How old is too old to play in the NFL? Just asking for our dear friend Phillip.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Phillip Rivers could be returning to the NFL, but there's no way he could be ready for Sunday, right? The Seahawks will be facing their 4th consecutive backup QB when they face the Colts, so while they're catching some breaks, the defense seems to know how to capitalize. Jalen Sundell's return is on the horizon. Takeaways from the win in Atlanta and can Sam Darnold reign in the turnovers? :30- The College Football Playoff reaction continues as Notre Dame wants everyone to know how angry they are. :45- We aren't done with this CFB conversation!

If you had Phillip Rivers return to the NFL on your 2025 bingo card, congrats! While it's not official, Rivers worked out for the Colts last night and it's highly possible he could un-retire and sign with the Colts who are dealing with a VERY difficult situation at QB. The Seahawks have faced their fair share of backup quarterbacks, but this week against the Colts is on another level. :30- The Winter Meetings are ongoing and activity is slow! - Are we happy with the trade return for Harry Ford? - Could Mitch Garver make a reduced-rate return to the Mariners? - The Mariners are being mentioned in Ketel Marte trade rumors. - CJ Abrams could also be a possibility… - What's up with Murakami? He has to sign with a team by 12/22, the clock is ticking. :45- The Kraken dropped their 6th straight game, losing to the Wild at home last night and that may not have been the worst thing to happen!

What a Monday! From college football playoff drama to Seahawks picking up win #10 and even a little winter meetings sprinkled in... we covered it all!

MMQB with MIKE HOLMGREN & HUGH MILLEN We get Coach's thoughts on the two very different halves of football yesterday. How real are halftime adjustments because they seemed to work in Atlanta! Have the Seahawks found their sweet-spot for targeting JSN? :30- MMQB with Coach and Hugh continues More praise for Nick Emmanwori! Riq Woolen does it again… how is he not learning his lesson? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing for Coach.

MMQB with HUGH MILLEN We start off the first hour of MMQB with Hugh breaking down the play of the Seahawks and the play from the 1st half to the 2nd half. How did he grade the defensive line and how impressive was Nick Emmanwori? :30- We continue MMQB with Hugh and get his thoughts on the CFP committee's selections. Did they get it right? :45- We wrap up the first hour with Hugh and take a look at the explosive start to the 2nd half by Rashid Shaeed and the Seahawks.

Headlines and CHRIS PETERSEN (Fox Sports) The final college football rankings came out yesterday and the bracket has been revealed, but not without some D-R-A-M-A! Did the committee get it right? Was Alabama the team that should have been left out? Are conference championships a problem? How does Coach Petersen feel about Notre Dame opting out of the bowl games? :30- Fact or Fiction is over and we need to appropriately celebrate the champions… oh wait, that's us! Winter meetings are underway and the Mariners are already making more moves. Did they get enough for Harry Ford? :45- We always hear from Mike MacDonald post-game, so what did Coach have to say following the Seahawks 37-9 win over the Falcons?

It was a tale of two halves and the 2nd half (3rd quarter) was Awesome! The Seahawks routed the Falcons in Atlanta after a slow offensive start, and by the end of the game, all three phases were clicking. :30- The college football playoffs are set and there are some seriously angry fan bases. We knew there would be drama no matter how it played out and that's exactly what happened. :45- Coach Bucky is here and so excited for the start of the Winter Meetings! - How does Coach Bucky feel about the return for Harry Ford? - Some solid advice for football coaches…
