It’s our 10th anniversary of the first Peltoncast (though we didn’t remember until more than an hour into the pod) and Tristan’s mood is bleak after the Seahawks got shellacked by the Rams in the second half of their season opener and the M’s fell out of first place in the AL West. That leaves UW football in the hammer spot ahead of a trip to Michigan State on Saturday.
