We listen back to Ty Okada, Seahawks Safety who sat down with Ian at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center yesterday. Ian admires his ability to work with those he's competing with for a starting job. The gametime for the Apple Cup is set...and it's for Sunday, September 6th. Ian is sick of the excuse of being "seen" as a reason for scheduling certain games.
