Hey, everybody's still 2 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.799 partying from left last week that big road win and we got a live feed 3 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:15.200 into a flight somewhere around Minnesota where we had alumni Kirk Cousin celebrating the wind 4 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:40.239 over the line, nin cause you that wow. Kirk was celebrating them far 5 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:47.480 up, my favorite cousin. Yes, sir, yes, sir, get 6 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:53.480 it, get it on. We had the fact that the Vikings are seven 7 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.400 and one, maybe maybe that was the case, but he also celebrating them 8 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.439 sparks, little spartans go. By the way, this is spartan, I 9 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:07.560 mean, oh, Jason Strayhorn along with her co host Otis Wiley and Jayu 10 00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:15.400 Chootchu Cochrik. Michigan State obviously has that good feeling going on, winning on 11 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.800 the road to a very good in line nineteen twenty three to fifteen last week. 12 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.319 But now we turn the page to Rutgers. Rutgers Greg Schiano lead Rutgers 13 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.560 Scarlet Knights invade the woodshed. They've got to come to East Lansing for a 14 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:40.479 noon kickoff this Saturday in East Lansing. Both teams four and five. Both 15 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:50.719 teams have similar defensive style coaches. Both teams like the chop. We're going 16 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.199 to get into that. Michigan State likes to keep chopping. They say that 17 00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.199 they've done. We gotta get into this. Otis JAYU exactly what? Who? 18 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.439 And why? But Michigan State is going to have a ball game, 19 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:12.240 and let's just get right into the I Hop Game Day Summaries brought to you 20 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.000 by I Hop The two by two by two breakfast combo equals one delicious meal. 21 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.919 Enjoy two pancakes, two eggs your way, and two pieces of bacon 22 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:28.120 for only five dollars only at I Hop.

Gentlemen, what side of the ball you want to start 25 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.039 off with? I say, before we start off, if there's a question 26 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.520 that you and I were talking about, okay, okay, okay, all 27 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.439 right, there's there's we gotta settle this. Because Jay, you and I 28 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:58.759 were talking in champagne after before the victory, as a matter of fact, 29 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:05.439 and there was a question about relieving oneself during the game, and I said, 30 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.280 you know, you know, you got to go to the bathroom you 31 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.599 know, no big deal. And Jay was like, what do you mean, 32 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.120 just need to go in your pants? We're talking number ones and I 33 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.040 said, he said, he looked at me like I was. I'm looking 34 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.519 at him like he's We're looking at each other like each other. It's crazy, 35 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.279 And I'm saying, no, no, we just don't get down like 36 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.800 that. He made it sound as if it was very common. So we 37 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.639 asked you, ohis if you have to go during the football game, do 38 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.680 you go to the locker room or you just go right there on the sideline? 39 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.519 Oh, on the sideline all day back then. Back then we didn't 40 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.839 have those pop up tens where you can disguise yourself. We had the trainers 41 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:53.120 or you know, holding up the town and then you're peeing in the open 42 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:58.600 trash. Can I know for a fact though some of our office in line 43 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:04.480 was just peeing the pants. Just what we're talking about, right in the 44 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:14.480 pants, that's absolutely not possibly. I learned because I was I was. 45 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.040 I was the guy that I would run to the restroom, to the locker 46 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.319 room. But then talking to the linemen, they were like, hey, 47 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.759 we just do it. And like talking to Pete Clifford, all those guys, 48 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.560 they just pee and then take a bottle of water spray in front of 49 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.839 their pants. So I did it. So are you saying you started doing 50 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:38.639 it? Yeah, that's why you not that way. That is exactly why 51 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:46.240 you that way like I did in my defense, I've heard that in like 52 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:54.360 three or four times. Many game. Would you do if you're on the 53 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:59.560 side, like in full uniform garded game, you go to the locker room 54 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.639 likes or do you be just just go in your pants?

But also we need to 60 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:39.959 know why or if how what it's blown my mind that you would relieve yourself 61 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.480 if the urge, if nature calls you during the course of the game, 62 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.199 what do you do? This is kind of like Mark Slater f the ESPN 63 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.040 analyst used to be an offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, had about forty 64 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.959 eight surgeries on his knees. They call him big stink. It's probably why, 65 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:03.120 you know, but uh, we just need to be confident. You 66 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.839 need to be confident that you have hydrated to where you know your pee is 67 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:15.439 going to be clear. Now that's why so much. Oh my gosh, 68 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.279 no, man, like, there's no way I always feel comfortable doing that. 69 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.360 I can't know. You can't know, like like it's it's tough for 70 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.439 something some of us like, Okay, you're in the pool, Jay, 71 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.360 you brought this up. You're in the pool at the you know, in 72 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.040 the swim up bar. He says, I'm camping out for eight hours. 73 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.360 I'm not moving. No, I'm a people. I'm a pool pier. 74 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:53.240 I don't let me in your pool. I'm a pool pier. That's why 75 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.720 I don't like public pools, because I know there are people like me when 76 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.680 it's cold and it gets real warm when you do be in the floor. 77 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.120 Well, ever since like ever since the movie the movie Grown Ups, when 78 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.079 they did the blue thing. So now when I go to a public pool 79 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:16.079 and I feel like, you know, I want to pee, this is 80 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.920 I want to I will I will start, I'll get it, let a 81 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.800 little pee and then run to the across it, so in case the blue 82 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.959 thing comes up, I'm not around it. And then I see there's no 83 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.160 blue thing. Then I'll just let it go. The blue thing you mean 84 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:37.639 the red dye. It's whatever, people, the blue thing, grown up 85 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.960 blue blue. That's where I got from. Oh god, man, we 86 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.080 started, we started. We started this as this episode off of that question. 87 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:54.639 Man, incredible. People want to know what would you do? Put 88 00:08:54.679 --> 00:09:00.360 in the comments sudden change happens to run in the locker room and the defense 89 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.120 picks the ball off and run into the one yard line. You know that's 90 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:18.360 too true time, I can't risk it. They say, when you stop, 91 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.679 you stop in mid p That shows that you have a strong core. 92 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.720 Yeah, so you just stopped. I mean you won't. You won't get 93 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:39.720 out in time. You running like, let it, let it go. 94 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.480 Take about the gatory bottle spray the front of you. Good to go, 95 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:54.320 and nobody I said. NFL player last last on Sunday pooped himself, right, 96 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.000 DK metcalf. Yeah, and I had a teammate with the Jeff Larry 97 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:07.080 Izzo. He took a dump on the sidelines of the Patriots of the game, 98 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.360 Bill Belichick gave him the game ball. See, I wouldn't go that 99 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.519 far. I would not go that that's a bit much. Yeah, what 100 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.320 about if you know you got you gotta you gotta got him take you gotta 101 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:28.759 pass gas. But it one't gas. We digressed to the point of no 102 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.519 return. I mean, here we go. This is Sparta, this is 103 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.679 spared to talk about everything. You know, we're getting real close here, 104 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.320 everybody, you know, we're it's like being on the couch with the fellas 105 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:45.840 in the locker room, smelling room. But since we're talking about hot and 106 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.039 crazy situations here, Otis is placed in one right this week here when this 107 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.080 game, isn't he no comment? Yeah, you talk about those house divided 108 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.879 situations that what you're talking about. Absolutely m hmmm. Hey, we know 109 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.759 who pays, We know who pays the checks to get yourself, So we 110 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.399 gotta be where the loyalty lies is, where your bills are paid, and 111 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.480 we know who that's happening through. So all I gotta say is that we're 112 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.759 good and uh but just know we better take their business because that's the South, 113 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.639 that's the South Jersey in her she ain't gonna let it live down. 114 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.240 She's gonna let it down. So uh yeah, we will see on Saturday. 115 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.360 Yeah. Man, those Jersey girls don't take no you know what, 116 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:46.000 man, Jersey stand up, j stand up. I said. Clan. 117 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.840 The fame her claning. The fame was, you know, we beat y'all 118 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.039 when I was a senior high school. She was a freshman and that was 119 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.840 the Ray Rice Days and we went over there and I believe we were ranked 120 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.399 or they were ranked one of the two were. Yeah, we were, 121 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.200 and they spoiled us and they stormed the field. And that was her first 122 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.840 experience as a as a college student athlete running track for Rutgers. And uhr. 123 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.279 Her mom was there with her and she wouldn't let her run out on 124 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.840 the field. So yeah, she would let her run out of the field. 125 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.080 I was like, oh yeah, Well, for those that don't know, 126 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:35.879 we're talking about Otis's wife, Yes, yes, and we will he 127 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.279 we will prevail. We will prevailed. Now now, she was ecstatic when 128 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.799 Sheiano came back. You know that little what he went to the league didn't 129 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.279 didn't suffice. They were calling for him to come back and uh, the 130 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.960 Chiano magic. They thought that, uh it'll be better than what it is 131 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.120 right now. But you know it sounds like he's doing some good stuff. 132 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.279 It's kind of like where we're at four or five, but waiting on the 133 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.519 recruiting class to come in and you know, do the Shiana way. But 134 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.759 we all know Shianto is a guru and those special teams and those guys play. 135 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.000 So let's let's deep dive, man, let's get it done. I 136 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.720 know you put me on the spot. Man. I didn't want to say 137 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.320 not name correctly, but you know, you know, you know what it 138 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:28.080 is. Look. Look, Rutgers rings in the eighteenth ranked defense in the 139 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.080 nation, only give enough about three hundred and ten point six yards per game. 140 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:39.200 They're nine and oh since twenty twenty when they do not give up a 141 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.679 turnover in the game. So we've got some interesting things. They also have 142 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.320 a good punter too. We've got the best punt of the nation. There's 143 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.519 there's this number four. So this is kind of an oddly evenly matched type 144 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.399 of game here that we're going to experience. Guys. Yeah, absolutely it 145 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.399 is. You hit the key points there and Otis alluded to it earlier. 146 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.000 Coach Cianos a special Teams guru. He takes pride in that he puts He 147 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.919 takes time you know, for special teams in practice, it's not something that 148 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.519 just gets breezed and glazed over. This is something that they take time and 149 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120 they put schemes in there. So special teams is going to be a key 150 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.960 factor in this game coming up here because these these two teams that you know, 151 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.440 Rutgers coming in with a very good defense, Michigan State's offense is starting 152 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.679 to find its strides right now. Michigan State's defense is starting to play well 153 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.039 getting key pieces back. So special teams is going to play a factor in 154 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.480 this game. Yeah, I mean, special teams wins the ball games. 155 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.519 Man, It's kind of the way you kind of turn the tide. It's 156 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.480 like when you know you don't mess up on special teams and you take advantage 157 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.600 of what you get. You know, I want to see a part return 158 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.480 return for a touchdown with that boy reid Man. And we know when you 159 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:00.120 score apart return the way it develops because you see it in the making and 160 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.000 then you just split on that sideline and it almost seems like he's going one 161 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.720 hundred miles per hour. I mean, we gotta do we gotta do some 162 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.159 big things on that end. But you know, we look at their offense 163 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.200 compared to ours. Man Like, you got two quarterbacks who got a total 164 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.720 of twelve interceptions collectively, and they kind of split in time and you just 165 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.639 don't know the rhyme or reason of They're just trying to figure out which guy 166 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.720 wakes up, you know, appropriately to win the game or show up. 167 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.480 And so, you know, I feel like our defense, what we're playing 168 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.559 now is how do we how do we balance and how do we game plan 169 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:39.080 against two quarterbacks? You know, one brings to certain advantages and has strengths 170 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.200 and other has weaknesses, but you know they kind of flip and flop. 171 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.480 And so you know, we're gonna take a lot of that film that was 172 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.480 last last weekend against that team down the road and see how they answered the 173 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.799 call, because it did start out last se last week. It started out 174 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.600 a little bit battle back and forth, and then you know you start to 175 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.039 see you know, Rutgers unraval and so you know, I'm looking forward to, 176 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.799 uh seeing them come into town. And uh, you know there's some 177 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:10.879 history with our coaching staff with mil Tucker and and and Chiano and you know 178 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.279 with the mantra and we all know, you know, we grey Ciano apparently 179 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.919 started this this slogan of keep chopping, and you know, we as a 180 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:23.360 Spartan nation have keep chopping as our mantra too. And so you know that's 181 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:30.360 a battle of the two guys that use the same slogan. So the battle 182 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.240 of the job, you know what that should be a wager man. They 183 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.200 should call each other to say, whoever wins this game gets to continue. 184 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:42.639 They win the trademark, and you award that to that winning coach. Keep 185 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:48.279 on chopping. Whoever wins, gotta gotta meal at the feet and give it, 186 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.919 give the keep chopping to them, something like that. You never know, 187 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.080 make it interesting, man. So so you have you know, we'll 188 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.679 think it's been trademarked by Rutgers that keep keep chopping and then chopped Life has 189 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.480 been trademarked by Michigan State. Is that correct? Goers correct? Yeah, 190 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.599 yep. So you know we got to keep We got chop live trademarked, 191 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:15.599 chop in with I N is trademark from uh from Ciano and uh, you 192 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.400 know it's one of those things that you know, that's what we've you know, 193 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.599 last year was like that's where it developed, right like we kept saying 194 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:27.720 that as whatever hit hit us adversity or whatever came our way was like just 195 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.839 keep on going. So you know you kind of see us now. We 196 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.599 still make the signal. You know, you're still with chop chop chop, 197 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.839 right, and you know that's the crazy game we we we live in and 198 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.799 playing in athletics of you know, working in the this side of the of 199 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.599 the the business is that you know, licensing. Licensing is very prevalent. 200 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.240 It's very uh at the forefront of kind of all that we do. You 201 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.200 know, people don't really realize that, you know, spartan nation, like 202 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.720 the Nike wear that you wear or the logo that you see with the helmet, 203 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.319 it means power and branding in the play for it. So you know 204 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:11.039 when you see things that are say not knockoffs, but knockoffs and like illegitimate 205 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.279 swag that people are you know, utilizing the marks and logos without having proper 206 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.599 channels or approvals. You know, that's what you do with on a day 207 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.119 to day here. So you know, yeah, that's where we're at right 208 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.240 now. Yeah, that's not good. Can't use those marks and logos and 209 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.920 marks if you haven't paid for them correctly. If I'm hearing you right, 210 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.559 yes, absolutely. I mean, looking at trademark behind you just right, 211 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.359 you know it's the trademark circle. Yeah, at the bottom of the bottom 212 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:48.079 of the spartan looking at TM that is trademarks, right, and so yes, 213 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.640 that's right Nike, Nike. You ain't gonna see that spart of helmet 214 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.599 on a on a n Adidas or an under Armour or a new Balance. 215 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.119 You know, it's Nike through and through. So you just you know, 216 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:06.000 you start learning that an educating square a nation of you know, don't infringe 217 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.000 on the rights, you know, play in that lane, Stay in the 218 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:15.200 lane or we'll be calling. Don't want to get that call, you know, 219 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:21.880 because as we talk more about the actual game a week ago, Rutgers 220 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.960 actually did leave the school down the road seventeen to fourteen at be half. 221 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:32.559 I saw some of that game. We watched it, and after the half 222 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.359 it seemed like the wheels kind of came off and Michigan goes on the score. 223 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.119 I think it's thirty eight unanswered points. Korm had a big day, 224 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.440 obviously, Donavan Edwards and you know, everybody seemed to have a pretty explosive 225 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:52.920 output on the road in Pascataway, New Jersey. This time New Jersey. 226 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.240 The guys Rutgers has to come into East Lansing. We're looking for an electric 227 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.960 environment to make it tough on the guy in the scarlet night uniforms to come 228 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.680 in in the high neon game. My first noon kickoff, I believe of 229 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.680 the year. Yeah, absolutely, it's a noon kickoff. Spartan Nation. 230 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:17.079 We're gonna need you to wake up early, go to what's that it's your 231 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.759 favorite time? Yeah, yeah, it's a new game. You get to 232 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.279 eat. You wake up early, you go to ihop, you get some 233 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.880 breakfast, You go to the game, you watch the game, you have 234 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.759 dinner with your family after you can hit up ricks in the land shark after 235 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.359 dinner with your family. How great is that? Doesn't get any better than 236 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.480 that, Spartanation. We're gonna need you this this game. You know, 237 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.640 I understand. You know it's not the season that we wanted. Right now 238 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.599 we're four and five team, but we're still vying for a bull game for 239 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.839 bull eligibility. So Spartan Nation has to come to the woodshed. Pack the 240 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:53.319 woodshed. If you leave the game with voice, if you leave the game 241 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.839 and you can still talk, your voice isn't hurting. You did not do 242 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.039 your part as a Spartan fan. So we're gonna need you to come out 243 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.000 and show out. And and like I said, the players feed up their 244 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.559 energy and that you you yell give them something to give you something to yell 245 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:14.039 about. Yeah, hey, get that. I have dinner too, right 246 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.160 otis Yeah, I haven't had it a long time. But you know that 247 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.799 that that those pancakes and the French tilts slaps to something real. Man, 248 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.359 that bacon you already know, so you know I always want to know read 249 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.519 this, you know, two for two for two, but you know I 250 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.200 got enough one for you. Man, hold on, listen by two by 251 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:40.519 two breakless combo equals one delicious meal and joy, two fluffy buttermilk pancakes, 252 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.079 two eggs your way and two pieces of increye smoke bacon or two sausage link 253 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.200 Sizzle to perfection for only five dollars only at I How that's enough to put 254 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:57.160 a smile on even Jay's play purty in and enjoy this deal for a limited 255 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.920 times only at Dying In the only price participation made. Very restrictions apply. 256 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:11.079 Sizzle bacon, Maybe sizzle, You're gonna sizzle? What's gonna have to sizzle 257 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.359 this week, is Michigan State's offense. They're gonna have to continue that sizzle. 258 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.839 Uh astray the the old line. Have you played well last week against 259 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.079 Illinois. They're gonna have to continue that, have that trend because I saw 260 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:27.440 them actually mauling guys moving downfields in Unisons. The big thing, you know, 261 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:33.039 when you run these outside zones and everything, all the all the linemen 262 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.559 moving together in Unison's coach Stoutlin, the great uh old line coach. He 263 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.119 used to call it elephants on parade. And you know that's a sight to 264 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.079 see if you're a running back, seeing those linemen, you know, go 265 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.759 out in front of you like that. So Michigan State's offense is gonna have 266 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.079 to run the football this game. You know, shoot for that over the 267 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.039 hundred one hundred yard Russian Marcus. What that's gonna do is gonna continue for 268 00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.759 Jay Johnson, open up the playbook, do a lot of unique things with 269 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.799 what the offense. If we can run the football, that's the only way 270 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.480 that we were able to throw the ball and do things and hit different receivers 271 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.079 like we did last week. Yeah, I mean, you look at the 272 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.200 Rutgers offensive tack man, like their number one receiver last last last weekend had 273 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.799 a great day. You know, he didn't convert him into touchdowns, but 274 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.960 you know he had eleven receptions for one hundred and eighty four yards. And 275 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.799 so you look at that where this guy's getting open and he's giving a target 276 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.400 to the quarterback, regardless which quarterback we're going to face. And so from 277 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:37.400 our defensive secondary standpoint is how do we eliminate the main target and allow the 278 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.039 other guys to have to you know, pick up from where they're leaving off 279 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.319 from, you know, setting down their number one coin or number one receiver. 280 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.000 And then we talk about big plays, like I feel like we sometimes 281 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.640 will kind of get so complacent when we're playing you know, these types of 282 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:59.319 teams where you got to eliminate the big plays or the third downs where you 283 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.640 got them locked, locked and loaded, and then something happens where quarterbacks slips 284 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.839 out, throws along pass, or gets the first down. How do we 285 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.480 eliminate those big plays and get those guys to hunt the ball to us on 286 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.960 a daily weapon And Jayden Reid, I feel like as a defense, we 287 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:21.640 haven't utilized that last line of weapon weaponry that we have in Jayden Reid in 288 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.119 our part return game. And so it's gonna be interesting seeing how Scottie and 289 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:32.000 the defensive defensive staff draw up a game plan that we don't make sure that 290 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.559 these guys truly like you know, get wings or you know, try to 291 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.799 be heroic when it comes to truly having a guy who you know, we 292 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.400 never not say never heard of, but came out and truly bought out against 293 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.960 us versus. Like, let's let's keep the main thing the main thing and 294 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.640 play spartan football and carry over from last weekend into this weekend. Yeah, 295 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:57.720 as you guys talked about earlier, offensive line had its best day last week 296 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.039 on the road in Champagne, and you expect to see more of the same. 297 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.000 Now, all that's gonna do is build more confidence. You had Brandon 298 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.279 Baldwin get another start. I think he started the first game of the year 299 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:14.880 and this was his second start against Illinois at left tackle over Jared Horse. 300 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.000 Now he seemed to have a lot of success, great feet, very athletic 301 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.440 player, playing with a lot of confidence. And then Brian Green, you've 302 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.480 seen him the transfer from Washington State, rotate in there at guard a little 303 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.960 bit. When you say JD been playing and mc kerrett kind of move around 304 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.119 a lot themselves. The one main stage, the two main stage. You 305 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:38.079 see Nick Saint Mac at the center position and also Spencer Brown over at the 306 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.039 right tackle. They've been doing a phenomenal job. So just do what they 307 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.680 can to open up those lanes and make sure that Michigan State can pound that 308 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:52.119 ball, especially running it with Jalen Berger. Be it Elijah Collins or Jared 309 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.440 Bassard who had the eleven yard touchdown against Illinois, who looked to be a 310 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.359 lot better, a lot fatter. Guys are getting better. You're seeing the 311 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.839 development of all the different players on the offensive side of the ball. You 312 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.240 can clearly see it. Peyton Thorn has to be him, you know, 313 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.240 as you talk about in the special teams game, Jadeen reed there was no 314 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.039 way he could receive a punt last week because of the wind it was. 315 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.079 It's impossible. It's really difficult for anybody to feel that he kicks. Expect 316 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.119 him to get in the game and get in the mix this week. If 317 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.640 they don't kick away from him. They do have a very good punter. 318 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:32.440 So let's see if jade Wee can get his hands on that ball and be 319 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.119 the playmaker that we all know that he can be and get that big return 320 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.480 and need to see that in front of the home fans, guys in front 321 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.319 in the woodshed this weekend. Our long snappers better be ready too, because 322 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.519 last week Michigan blocked the punt for it. I'm sorry, Rutters blocked the 323 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:55.319 punt against Michigan for a touchdown. So our long snappers better have their stuff 324 00:26:55.359 --> 00:27:00.039 ready ready to go. Get that snap off to our best special teams player 325 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.880 there in in Bryce and get that ball out of there. So, like 326 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.000 Otis says Ghianos, a special team's guru, he's licking his chops watching our 327 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:17.200 long snappers. Yeah. Question for you, Jay, you is what are 328 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.519 you what are you coaching up with the long snappers. You know, I'm 329 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:25.000 not saying you are specialist in snapping, but like, what are you going 330 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.880 to tell the snappers during practice this week to get that that timing off the 331 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.400 off the ground to to our partner quicker, What are you gonna what are 332 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.440 you gonna coach them up on. I'm gonna first tell him, listen, 333 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.880 they can't cover you, they can't hit you. All We're telling you to 334 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.279 do is snap the ball and run down field. So get your head down 335 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.359 right, get your get your grip, your release point, come through, 336 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:55.000 follow through on your release because that's what's gonna control the punt, to keep 337 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.039 it from going high and keep it from going low. You have your aim 338 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.119 point for your punters, the belt buckle, So the belt, the waistline, 339 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.480 there's where you want to get that ball there and your time and the 340 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.359 snap has to get back to the center within one point three seconds, so 341 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.599 you have to do that, and the release points huge. It's coming from 342 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:26.279 a personal protective personaltive those long snappers ever, I mean, that was just 343 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:32.880 false information. You just gave everybody that information. Never you will never talk 344 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:34.880 to the long snapper. You don't even know his name. You don't want 345 00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.720 to know that, you know. Let me tell you a long snapping story. 346 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.559 We had a long snapper at Michigan State who I'm not going to use 347 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.160 his name. When I was on the scout team red Shirt, and so 348 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.240 we would just say to heck with this, we go and full out on 349 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.839 this block to make a name for ourself. And we had this long snapper. 350 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.119 He would be like, we'd be down in the stands ready to go. 351 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.160 And he looked at you be like, yo, yo, chill out, 352 00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:00.680 chill out, I'm working on a new snap. I'm like, bro, 353 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.359 how many new snaps you got? Snap the ball back there. I'm 354 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:08.000 coming after you there. So that's one of the things too against long snappers. 355 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:15.279 They want that little easy pass out. Long snappers and kickers have no 356 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:21.119 mercy for mister culker. You don't play with the kickers and long snappers. 357 00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.400 Absolutely. If you look at if you look at Rutgers season, uh, 358 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.640 and you look at the scores, I mean you look at where you know 359 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.720 you have wins in the win columns, you know they're only winning by you 360 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.359 know, a touchdown or two points. The only really blow out they had 361 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:42.519 was against Wagner and so uh they Boston College scraped out with one point. 362 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:48.559 They were beating the Braska or lost in Nebraskat by one point. Iowa played 363 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.559 them really tough. But you know, I think what you look at how 364 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.640 they're scoring and faring against opponents is that they're going to fight to the end. 365 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.319 And you gotta truly come out on top and truly fight to the end 366 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.720 to the zero zero and you're gonna get the best of Rutgers, Like you're 367 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.000 gonna get the best, the best effort every time you play these guys, 368 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.160 and like every time I've seen in person. You know, there was one 369 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.839 trip that we took out there and this is when they had carew and uh, 370 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.599 you know we went out there and we I mean, we almost fumbled 371 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.160 that that game and it was like came down to the last second when you 372 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.559 know, if they had a quarterback that year, they would have won that 373 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.359 game. And so you got to continuously fight into the end. And I 374 00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:37.000 feel like we need to carry, like I said, the momentum from last 375 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:44.039 week, start fast, finished stronger and quicker, and truly manage the game 376 00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.079 in the time of possession. U let's strategically conventionally win this game this weekend. 377 00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.519 No, totally agreed. And for those historians of the Bunch, if 378 00:30:53.559 --> 00:31:00.599 you can remember and Mel Tucker's first game as a Spartan head coach, he 379 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:07.680 faced the Scarlet Knights in twenty twenty season opener in East Lansing. It was 380 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.759 a wire a wire game that Rutgers beat the Spartans thirty eight to twenty seven. 381 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.240 That was a great Ciano led team there. Greg Ciano is two and 382 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:25.240 two versus Michigan State. As a head coach of the Scarlet Knights, gentlemen, 383 00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.920 as we prepare for this game, as it's fast approaching this Saturday, 384 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:34.799 what are your final thoughts? Yeah, my final thoughts is michigan'st they have 385 00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.920 to do what they did last week. They've got to control the ball offensively, 386 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.960 control the time of possession to get their defense from rest. The defense 387 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:48.000 have to come out firing around Coach Hazleton. You know, keep that scheme. 388 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.640 Put guys in positions to be successful. Guys that are there, step 389 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.880 up, make a play, make a name for yourself, and you don't 390 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.400 just go out there and continue to play Spartan football. Yeah. I like 391 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:05.119 what you said there to you is, you know, I want everyone to 392 00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.599 be flying around, and when you fly around and you make mistakes, they're 393 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.880 easy to be overlooked. Now if you fly around, you're making plays like 394 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.400 we did last weekend. Like, let's bring that atmosphere and that vibe back 395 00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:22.960 home and let Spartan Nation take full advantage in embracing and having a great time 396 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:29.240 back in Spartan, Spartan Stadium, the Woodshed. I think we start fast 397 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.160 when we win the toss. I truly hope that we accept it and get 398 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.640 on offense and dry down the score first. Uh. People might not agree 399 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.039 with me on that one, but you know, I feel like we can 400 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.720 set the tone. If we set the tone of offense, you know, 401 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.880 we know the defense can truly match it. And so I'm looking forward to 402 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:55.079 a very high intense energy game knowing that we're playing our first noon game uh 403 00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:59.720 this season. And let's just pray that we have some great weather. But 404 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:06.119 it's nothing like a nice cold, fall brisk morning when you're tailgating and coming 405 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.160 out there at Sparta Stadium in noon. If the sun breaks in the clear 406 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:15.519 skies, it's a great day for Spartan football. Baby, without question, 407 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:21.680 the one guy's flying around. You want a cold, brisk football Saturday afternoon, 408 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.240 and you definitely do not want Jayu Culchrick in your pool. Gentlemen, 409 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:30.200 it was a phenomenal show. That's gonna put a bow on it for all 410 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:36.519 of us. This is Sparta. I'm Jason Straighthorn for Otis Wiley and Jayu 411 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.920 Culchrick. There you go. Do not let jay you and your pool, 412 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.720 good God blessed, go go away.
