Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Hawk Blogger Mornings.

I'm Brian Nemhouser and excited to come to you on this gorgeous Wednesday morning in the Pacific Northwest.

Temperatures expected to hit in the mid-80s, I think. Today,

gonna enjoy it, get out, play some golf, be just out in the sun, enjoying the weather, and hopefully

not bending my golf club around a tree.

I think I'll manage.

But you'll notice, we got a bunch of stuff to cover today.

You notice the hat.

I'll talk about that in a second.

But we got a lot to cover.

I'm going to,

the primary topic I'm going to discuss is Sam Darnold.

And this phenomenon that is happening where it is essentially erasure of the season that he had last year.

The total lack of respect for Sam Darnold and the absolutely rock bottom expectations that people have for Sam Darnold this year seem really out of whack with the reality of what he did.

So I want to talk about that.

I've got some data to share with you.

We'll talk about maybe why those things are happening.

But I want to get into that.

We'll also talk about day one of Seahs.

So they had OTAs yesterday for the first time,

organized team activities.
