The guys 'roll' into a playful celebration of area code 360, spotlighting surprising celebrity ties: Sam Elliott\u2019s Clark College days, Hilary Swank\u2019s Bellingham childhood, The Rock\u2019s Vancouver roots, and of course Kurt Cobain \u2014 whose Aberdeen home, schools, and legacy still anchor the region. Mitch and Hotshot mourn Washington\u2019s deflating rivalry loss to Oregon, wondering what\u2019s happened to Damon Williams over the last few weeks and whether Jed Fisch\u2019s 8\u20134 season is real progress or just a tiny baby step. They pivot to the Seahawks\u2019 26\u20130 shutout of a completely overmatched Vikings team led by one-and-done starter Max Broer, raising fresh concerns about Sam Darnold, a sputtering passing game, and what\u2014if anything\u2014you can actually learn from a win like that. Mitch then slips into full \u201cMr. Playoffs\u201d mode, mapping out the Rams\u2013Seahawks tiebreaker hell. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle\u2019s emphatic 26\u20130 shutout of Minnesota \u2014 the team\u2019s first since 2015 \u2014 powered by five takeaways, four sacks, and total defensive domination of an undrafted rookie QB. While the win keeps Seattle tied atop the NFC West, all three acknowledge the troubling offensive trend. The crew debates whether this defense \u2014 with Ernest Jones ascending, DeMarcus Lawrence wrecking pockets, Reek Woolen surging, and reinforcements like Julian Love near return \u2014 is good enough to carry a sputtering offense deep into January. Rick joins Mitch to dissect Washington\u2019s season-ending loss to Oregon \u2014 highlighting Damon Williams\u2019 late-year regression, disorganized reads, and off-timed footwork, while crediting Dante Moore for outplaying him in a game UW needed. They walk through the wild coaching carousel (Lane Kiffin to LSU? Will Ole Miss even let him coach the playoff?) and unravel the tangled playoff math: whether the Ohio State\u2013Indiana loser still deserves a bye, how an Alabama loss would knock them out, and why Texas Tech\u2019s \u201cpurchased darlings\u201d have a real shot to win it all.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Thanksgiving Leftovers, the 360 Area Code Deep Dive, and a Tour Through Kurt Cobain\u2019s Aberdeen Roots 10:57 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:22 | Ducks Roll the Dawgs, Damon Williams Stalls, and the Seahawks Cruise While Playoff Math Gets Messy 35:39 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Blank Vikings 26\u20130, Rise to 9\u20133, and Spark Big Questions About Darnold, Pressure, and JSN Dependency 1:01:46 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel Breaks Down Oregon\u2013UW, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and the High-Stakes Math of the New 12-Team Playoff 1:32:26 | Other Stuff Segment: three-six-oh shoutout to Ben Gibbard and Death Cab for Cutie in Bremerton, Huskies bowl projections (LA Bowl vs Boise State\/UNLV, Sun Bowl vs SMU, or Holiday Bowl vs Pitt in San Diego), Lane Kiffin bolts Ole Miss for LSU and gets cussed out at the airport while Ole Miss fans also blame Pete Carroll and even God for \u201ctelling him to go,\u201d Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia\u2019s brother Javier arrested again for public intoxication at Neyland Stadium, Jim Mora Jr leaves UConn for Colorado State and we revisit his infamous Hugh Millen \u201cI\u2019d leave in a second for UW\u201d comment and his brutal Olindo Mare kicker rant, Carmel-by-the-Sea banning pickleball at public courts over nonstop paddle pop noise, Lions\u2019 Thanksgiving halftime show with Jack White bringing out Eminem for a Detroit super-collab, ozempic \u201cperk\u201d for men where losing weight makes everything look bigger downstairs, Paul Anka\u2019s new doc and his stories about Frank Sinatra\u2019s and Milton Berle\u2019s legendary endowments, Italy\u2019s \u201cMrs. Doubtfire\u201d scam where a son dressed as his dead mom for years to steal her pension, Richard Simmons\u2019 Hollywood Hills house getting a big price cut on the market, RIPs: Fuzzy Zoeller \u2013 Masters and U.S. Open champion \u2013 dead at 74, HEADLINEs: France\u2019s far-right leader gets egged and floured like a human baguette, Brain scan reportedly shows Kim Kardashian has \u201clow activity\u201d upstairs, Trump supposedly slaps a \u201cNo fat chicks\u201d sign outside the Oval Office, Thieves steal $90K worth of gourmet snails and instantly become the true escar-goats ","author_name":"Mitch Unfiltered","author_url":"https:\/\/mitchunfiltered.com","html":"
