Good morning, everybody. Welcome to a Friday episode of Hawkblogger mornings. I am Brian

Niemhauser. Excited to be with you here. We got a fun show on this still sunny Friday morning.

I think the rain is about to return to the Northwest. I'm sure you guys are excited by my

continual weather forecast. But the truth is, to return to the northwest i'm sure you guys are excited by my continual weather

forecast but the truth is if it's sunny i got a smile on my face because this is the best time

a year in the northwest i like it personally even better than the summer i like it when it's

in the 60s low 70s and crystal clear skies and beautiful clean air to breathe and get out

and experience it. So good time to be in the Northwest. But yes, the rain. Rain is right

around the corner. A lot of stuff to cover today. We're going to welcome in one of our favorite

guests, Ryan Fowler of the

Draft Network, will join me in about 15 minutes. So looking forward to talking to him. We are

just a few days away from the NFL draft. And Ryan is as plugged in as they get about what's

going on with different players, prospects, teams. So we will talk about specifically I want to talk to me about some of the real pivot

points of this draft and where we could see all sorts of different, all sorts of different

players going to different teams that could absolutely impact who falls to the Seahawks.

So we will talk to Ryan here again in about 15 minutes.

And before we get to that, I have some news to share that I think is pretty cool about

a little birdie told me around Cooper Cup and what's already going on over there at the VMAX.

So I'll share that here in just a second.

And before we get to all that, you hopefully will notice a new hat.

I think everyone's been tracking my hats.

Even one of my friends is like, how many friggin hats do you have, dude?
