It’s that time of year again: IT. IS. HATE WEEK! There’s no love lost between the Cougars and Huskies, and once again, this game will decide the winner of the Pac-12 North division. This game has been a Husky domination the last five years, and the Cougs are looking to flip the script. Can they do it? Definitely maybe!

We take a look at all the matchups–the similarities on defense for both teams, who has the QB, RB, and WR advantages, and what to look for in the actual game. It should be heart attack-inducing for one or both of us!

The Mariners traded James Paxton to the Yankees for Justus Sheffield, Erik Swanson, and Dom Thompson-Williams. We examine whether that was a fair return, and thank James Paxton for the memories he gave us. Does this signal more of a full rebuild? Should that be the route the Mariners take?

We also look ahead to what could come next, from the rumored deal that would send Mike Leake and Jean Segura to San Diego for Wil Myers, to what they should do with Edwin Diaz, Alex Colome, and others.

We were running short on time, so the Seahawks segment is a bit shorter this week. We look back on an impressive come-from-behind win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, and tell you what the Seahawks need to do to crush Cam Newton and come away with a win in Carolina.

Finally, we give our most obvious swelmet award of the week out.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And since I’m writing this description…GO COUGS!
