A 4-Star OL Just Chose Notre Dame, And It's Still Not the Biggest Story in the Emerald City
Okay, so the news hit, right? Notre Dame, they've apparently kept their recruiting momentum humming, snagging a 4-star offensive lineman. Big deal for them, I guess. But honestly, folks, here in the Emerald City, my feed is already packed with what actually matters, and it ain't some college kid's commitment. We bleed green and blue, remember?
All This Noise, And We're Still Waiting for Real Talk
I see the headlines flashing by, all these college matchups getting hyped up for later this year. TCU squaring off against North Carolina on August 29th, USC taking on San Jose State the same day, Virginia clashing with NC State. Then you've got North Dakota State facing Jacksonville State, Eastern Michigan against Sacramento State, Stanford vs. Hawai'i, Florida State vs. New Mexico State, UNLV and Memphis. Seriously, it just keeps going!

What We Care About in Seattle
Look, I get it, college football is a thing. But for us, the 12s, we're locked in on our teams. We've got Sam Darnold under center, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed ready to make plays, Cooper Kupp running routes. Mike Macdonald is leading the charge on the sidelines with Brian Fleury calling the offense. We're watching our Mariners, with Cal Raleigh behind the plate and Julio Rodriguez patrolling center field.
Our Kraken, Matty Beniers, Captain Jordan Eberle, Jared McCann, Chandler Stephenson, Berkly Catton, Kaapo Kakko, Tye Kartye up front, Vince Dunn, Adam Larsson, and Brandon Montour on D, and Joey Daccord in net. And don't even get me started on the Sounders, with Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris out there.
We're always looking ahead to our next big game, to what's at stake for us. While others are celebrating a college recruit, we're here, focused on the green and blue, waiting for our moments. That's the real story, always.
