Apple Cup in August… college football just gets weirder.

(Actually, if it’s not going to be the last game of the regular season being the first game is the next best option)

[Washington State Football @WSUCougarFB]

The Apple Cup takes center stage to open the season. 🍎

The 2027 Boeing Apple Cup moves to August 28 at Gesa Field.

[NFL Researcher @NFL_Researcher]

Highest percentage of team receiving yards in a season since 2000:

1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2026): 50.2%
2. Brandon Marshall (2012): 45.7%
3. Steve Smith Sr. (2005): 44.8%
4. Santana Moss (2005): 44.3%
5. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2025): 44.1%

Baldelli was thought to be a front-runner, if not the front-runner. But with three young kids and roots in Florida, Seattle appeared to be a stretch.

Not sure where exactly this leaves the Mariners, but they’ve been hoping to have a manager in place in next 7-10 days.

The Chiefs did not reach the red zone or the end zone against Seattle.

Since 2016, that's happened to teams 56 times. It had never happened to a Patrick Mahomes-led team before tonight.

[NFL Researcher @NFL_Researcher]

The Seahawks held the Chiefs to their fewest points (3, tied), total yards (213), first downs (11), and red zone drives (0) in any game started by Patrick Mahomes.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Kenneth Walker III finished with 36 yards rushing.

The Seahawks have now gone 36 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher.

Serendipity?

[Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP]

Chiefs came into game 8th best in league allowing 35.7% conversion on 3rd down. Seahawks are 9 for 11 so far tonight

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Well, that was bad.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

JSN is inevitable, man.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

JSN has topped the 100-yard mark in the first 29 minutes of the game.

[John Boyle @johnpboyle]

Gonna need @NextGenStats to tell us how many yards Sam Darnold just ran on that third-down scramble.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Seahawks have converted 3rd and 9 twice and 3rd and 7 on this drive already. Can't live like that all the time but impressive nonetheless.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Drew Lock didn't throw at all during early pregame warmups ... guess we know why.

[Seahawks PR @seahawksPR]

Tonight’s @Seahawks inactives; QB Drew Lock will serve as the emergency 3rd quarterback.

[Bob Condotta @bcondotta]

As Seahawks take field for really early warmups only Sam Darnold and Jalen Milroe are throwing passes. Drew Lock is questionable with right elbow issue.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Look at this field. It’s beautiful.

[Seattle Kraken PR @SeattleKrakenPR]

#SeaKraken forward Jared McCann will be out 10 weeks with a lower-body injury and has been placed on injured reserve.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

The unofficial state of Washington college football poll for Week 8, this week including UW since they didn’t lose (unlike nearly everyone else):

1) CWU
T2) Lake Washington HS, Prosser, Blaine, Goldendale
T3) UW & EWU
T4) Whitworth, PLU, UPS
5) WSU
6) Ballard Jr FB
7) Western

[Seattle Times Sports @SeaTimesSports]

Emergency backup goalies, one of the coolest quirks in hockey, now serve full-time roles. We went behind the scenes with the Kraken's EBUG, who has what "may be the best gig in hockey."

Mike Macdonald says Zach Charbonnet will not play Sunday. Says it’s in keeping with the plan to bring him back and he’s had no setback.
