WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:55.240 The following is a presentation of Playfly Sports Properties in Michigan State Sports Properties. 2 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.240 Ryan Uh, this is as heavy as it gets. This is a night 3 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.599 we look forward to you and now here we sit, and I just ask, 4 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.680 as a member of this brotherhood, as a guy who dealt with his 5 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.920 own health issues and scares, what words can we even put to this? 6 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.159 What would you share? I think the first thing, this is about Damar 7 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.959 Hamlin, and it's about a young man at twenty four years old that was 8 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.799 living his dream that a few hours ago was getting ready to play the biggest 9 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.040 game of his NFL career and there was probably nowhere else in the world he 10 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:38.480 wanted to be and now he fights for his life. And when Damar Hamlin 11 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519 falls to the turf, and when you see the medical staff rush to the 12 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.799 field and both teams are on the field, you realize this isn't normal. 13 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:53.159 You realize this isn't just football. And so many times in this game, 14 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.920 in our job as well, we use the cliches. You know, I'm 15 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.640 ready to die for this, I'm willing to give my life for this. 16 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.680 It's time to go to war. And I think sometimes we use those things 17 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.840 so much. We forget that part of living this dream is putting your life 18 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.360 at risk. And tonight we got to see a side of football that is 19 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:22.960 extremely ugly, a side of football that no one ever outside of football, 20 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.319 that no one ever wants to see or never wants to admit exists. When 21 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.199 you see both teams on the field crying in that way, your first thought 22 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.599 is do more hamline. The second thought is his family. And this isn't 23 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.199 about a football player, right, This is about a human. This is 24 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.479 about a brother, This is about a son, This is about a friend. 25 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.439 This is about someone who is loved by so many that you have to 26 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.719 watch go through this. I dealt with this before, and I watched my 27 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.960 teammates for days come to my hospital bed and just cry. I had them 28 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.039 call me and tell me that they didn't think I was going to make it. 29 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.439 And now this team has to deal with that and they have no answers. 30 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.400 And so the next time I think that we get upset at our favorite 31 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.800 fantasy player, or we're upset that the guy on our team doesn't make the 32 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.280 play and we're saying he's worthless, and we're saying you get to make all 33 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.400 this money, we should remember that these men are putting their lives on the 34 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.240 line to live their dream, and tonight Dumar Hamlin's dream became a nightmare for 35 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:35.479 not only himself, but his family and his entire team. Touching words from 36 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:40.120 one Ryan Clark. You know, thanks to ESPN for that. You know. 37 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.280 It's January third, Happy New year everyone. I'm your host Jason story 38 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.000 Hund along with my co hosts Otis Wiley and my co host Jayu Culcrick. 39 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.599 Shoot you this is smart and we weremiss if we did not talk about the 40 00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.120 events that occurred last night and into today with Damar ham In, the safety 41 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:08.479 from the Buffalo Bills in the NFL last night, went into cardiac arrest during 42 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:14.439 the football game from a hit a seemingless you know, seeming it looked like 43 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.120 a very casual play, but it turned out to be something very life threatening 44 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.439 for him and he remains in critical condition in the hospital. And guys, 45 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.680 I wanted to talk to you guys about this. I think it's something that's 46 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.199 important that we cover as former football players, and we covered this sport that 47 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.439 we both all three of us loved this game. You know, you always 48 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.920 talk about, hey, you know, ready to die for this as he'd 49 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:42.279 said, but when it really happens, it does shock you. It shocks 50 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.480 the entire nation. And it's something that he's going to continue to be in 51 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.000 our thoughts and prayers, but something that we have to take very seriously. 52 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:55.240 And hats off to the NFL for canceling the game or postponing it so far. 53 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:04.959 Yeah, very very very scary situation that happened yesterday. We all, 54 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.079 you know, the three of us played this game. We sacrifice our body. 55 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.759 We've played through injuries, we've played through you know, pain, We've 56 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.720 you know, we've put it on the line for each other. And you 57 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.399 know those cliches that Ryan Clark mentioned, you know, like I'm you know, 58 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.639 going to war for this. You know, I've been through a war 59 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.720 personally from coming from Africa, and here I get it. It's a cliche. 60 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.199 And I know football is not, you know, an actual war, 61 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.360 but those are things that you say. And have an opportunity to be a 62 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.879 guy, be a kid from Buffalo, New York, have an opportunity to 63 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.920 play, you know, to put that bills, red white and blue jersey 64 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.079 on. It's an absolute honor, you know, if you have the opportunity 65 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.959 to even play this game, you know at the collegiate level, but even 66 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.519 at the next level, and you know the bond you form with your team. 67 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.240 And that's that's what I always to tell people, is you know, 68 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.839 no matter what sport you play, no matter what you do in life, 69 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.600 if you haven't played a game like football, football is to ultimate team sports. 70 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.160 Football is ultimate sport that brings people from all walks of life together. 71 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.199 And last night clearly showed that. And you know, we've all been in 72 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.360 situations where the injuries happened. You know, in twenty ten, when ilse 73 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.480 with the Buffalo Bills, we played a game in Denver against the Denver Broncos 74 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.800 and we had a team. I had a teammate, Johnny White, he 75 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.160 was a fellow running back. He had a head hit. He was down 76 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.040 on the field. They had to come in, take his face mask off, 77 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.959 put him on the board, you know, took him off. But 78 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.839 as he left, he gave the thumbs up. So therefore we knew that 79 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.879 he was he had movement, he was okay. The trainers and coaches made 80 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.360 sure, you know, after he took him to the hospital, to come 81 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.160 along the sideline and tell everybody, hey, Johnny's gonna be okay, he 82 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:01.800 has movement in all extremities and everything like that. Even that, going back 83 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.680 on the field, you still felt tentative to play the game. You still 84 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.319 you know, there was a moment you know, you you like, man, 85 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.439 you know, do I go as hard as I usually go because you've 86 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.040 just seen this, you know, and you did get that, you know, 87 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.639 quick five minute break there, and you know, kudos to the NFL 88 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:26.160 for you know, stopping this game because it's a lot bigger than you know, 89 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.399 ratings. It's a lot bigger than people's fantasy football stats, is a 90 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.600 lot bigger than you know, Better's bet that they have in there, and 91 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.040 it's a lot bigger than playoffs standing. This is somebody's life, somebody's child, 92 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.800 and these guys teammates, you know, they wouldn't have been in there 93 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.079 with their full heads and and it's been an absolute trash game anyways, So 94 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.279 kudos to the NFL for that. And you know, everybody that plays a 95 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.759 sport, you know, we know the risks that we take. But you 96 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.120 know, there are times where you don't really think you think you can go 97 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.399 out there and get hurt. You never think about death really when you strap 98 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.040 on the helmet and the shoulder pads to go out there. So you know, 99 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.160 this is just something that's you know, hasn't been you know, in 100 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.040 the game for year decades now. I think that you know, and Buffalo 101 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.600 had something similar with Kevin Everett when he was there and he got injured and 102 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.879 paralyzed and made her miraculous recovery. And also too, I want to give 103 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.680 a shout out to you know, the Buffalo bill the Buffalo community. You 104 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.360 know, they've come and put the arms around this this guy, his family, 105 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.639 the team and showing that passion, they're donating to his charity. His 106 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.600 charity went from a goal of twenty five hundred dollars for toys for Todds now 107 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.279 over four million dollars. That's what it's all about. And you know, 108 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.480 like I said, we all play this game, we all know the risks 109 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.279 that comes with it, but at some point in time you have to take 110 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.480 a step back and realize this is bigger than exis and O's is bigger than 111 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.000 a game. This is something that you know you can't you know, at 112 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.440 times you might not make it home. So it's just a really sad situation. 113 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.679 And uh, you know, hopefully you know, thoughts and prayers continuously 114 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.200 to go out to Hamlin to the Bills organization and his family and his mother 115 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.519 well, well, well said Jau. You know I had the it's not 116 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.919 even a pleasure. I had the experience of going through the concussion. I 117 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.960 don't remember, obviously, uh the events that happened afterwards. But this was 118 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.120 when I was in high school. Freshman year was my worst one, and 119 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.320 I had I had one in college, but the freshman year one was was 120 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.399 almost a devastating one for for me. Knowing that I was telling Stray about 121 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.639 this, is that you know, at that point, I was playing running 122 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.840 back Jayu, you know, and you know in high school you're playing every 123 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.080 every position that you can managed to help. And I had just moved from 124 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.840 Austin, Texas, and my parents were still down in Texas. I'm staying 125 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.360 with my grandparents in Flint, Carmen d Ainsworth, and you know, we're 126 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.799 playing Flushing High School, which was kind of a rivalry for us. And 127 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.159 you know, I thought I was about to break free for a touchdown, 128 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.200 but you know, got stumbled upon a defender. But then the other defenders 129 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.639 behind me were right there to shove my head in the ground and after that 130 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.320 was a complete blackout and I woke up in the ambulance and in the in 131 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.000 the the hospital. But you know, not to have a support family there 132 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:35.559 in the stands was even more kind of troubling because no one knew who this 133 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.639 Texas kid was on the team. Where does he live. Luckily, I 134 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.639 had a cousin playing on the JV level that you know, came came to 135 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.720 the rescue, and so it's just it's a it's unfortunate to go through the 136 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.360 through that. But also, like you said, I did know what I 137 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.279 was signing myself up for. This is a violent game and in order to 138 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.720 like I survive, be the survival of the fittest that this game is. 139 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.519 It's like you train your mind and your body to be a gladiator. And 140 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.960 you know, if you're out there playing Timid, you know, growing up, 141 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.039 I think that's where our coach was gonna say, if you're playing timt 142 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.440 you're gonna get hurt, Like you can't play you know, Timid, and 143 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.279 like you are trained that way to go out there and just be a gladiator 144 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.360 and put the team on your back and make hardcore plays in the back end 145 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.240 and as you remember you know, we we had the experience with me and 146 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.200 my work and knock it out with Wisconsin receiver and you know we thrived off 147 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.559 of those no hit like those knockout hits in the back end secondary like that's 148 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.519 what we grew up knowing and you felt like you got so much respect of 149 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.320 doing that. But when it happens, uh, and you are the experience 150 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.120 of that, like are you the culprit and it happens to someone that you 151 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.320 are very close with or even on your team, it's nothing that goes through 152 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.200 your through your mind is differently that, you know, like you said, 153 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.320 it's bigger than this and him, you know, he's still young man, 154 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.919 and I think that's the piece of it that, uh, he's young and 155 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.759 he was playing one of the biggest games of you know, his second you 156 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.840 know, second year in the league career. And it's just it's tough to 157 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.720 to to think about it that, you know, it's tough if you say 158 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.240 the wrong things, you say the right things. You just got to be 159 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.240 able to say like the human element of it, like Ryan Clark said, 160 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.039 it brings me back to the reality of we are still human beings playing on 161 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.759 the grid iron. Guys are right, and and where human beings were all 162 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.399 connected in that way, everybody on this planet can relate to dump DeMar Hammler 163 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:45.399 because everybody's human and everybody understands, you know what it's like if you if 164 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.120 you could project what it would be like to be in his position or to 165 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.840 be someone that's a loved one of him of his in in this particular position, 166 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.960 and it's tough. You know that we're connected. You talk about our 167 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.120 three of us. You know we talk about Spartan football. We're Michigan State 168 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.360 guys. When you think about Michigan State, you think about Pat Nardoozy. 169 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.159 This young man played for Pitt. This young man played for the same coach 170 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.240 that you guys played for when he when you guys were at Michigan State. 171 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.000 His defensive back coach was a teammate of mine at Pitt, Archie Collins. 172 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.200 You know, I had a conversation with Archie earlier and he was not in 173 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.679 a good place because this man has done everything right. He said. This 174 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.799 is what he said straight. This is a good kid. This is not 175 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.519 you know, like I got a lot of knuckleheads made to the NFL. 176 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.840 This is not a knucklehead. You know, you guys understand what that means. 177 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.120 This is a he said, this is a guy that does everything right 178 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.840 and it couldn't have happened to a better person. The worst thing couldn't have 179 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.559 happened to a better person. So you know, you gotta remember that this 180 00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.440 game does bring us all together, and I think that you know, and 181 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.799 it will teach us something and we get to continue to pour out support for 182 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.039 his family and his loved ones. As Jayu said, he's connected with the 183 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.200 Buffalo Bills alumni because that's what he is. So if there's anything you can 184 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.399 do to help that family and that organization, please do that. I'm sure 185 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.440 that we'll have some information for you guys to continue to do that. But 186 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.000 definitely our hearts and our prayers go out to the Hamlin family as they go 187 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.879 through this difficult time right now, and we re wish him a speedy recovery 188 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.759 back to health.

The 210 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.679 hitting that like button, Oh now he's craving pancakes. Absolutely, we always 211 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.799 crave pancakes over here because we love our house. Guys, Michigan, we 212 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.000 got to talk about them, that school down the road. They lose the 213 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.759 TCU and the college football playoffs fifty one of forty five. What's your thought, 214 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:56.480 gentlemen. I just want to say that I was correct thick them. 215 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.840 Hey you the boy. I told you, man, listen, I said 216 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:07.720 they would either put up money, put up points like crazy and the defense 217 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.799 can't make stock what you saw. It was kind of back and forth, 218 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.000 but then they made They made two main picks interceptions on on our boy McCarthy, 219 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.960 and I just felt like, and I'm not this is not the hater 220 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.480 a coming out of me, but you're probably sure it is. It's deeply 221 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.759 rooted, coming out a little bit seeping through. I was like, I 222 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.279 came here in coach d probably coming for the fall. Like I felt like 223 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.680 they legitimately have erased their entire decade of losing. Uh and then they finally 224 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.759 get back to back Big Ten championship, knowing that this is their first time 225 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:49.160 cracking in the CFP. But you look at the record of Harball in these 226 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:55.559 bowl games and they're defeated. They have not won one, like and it's 227 00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.000 and it's to that point where you're like, all right, they had everything 228 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.920 on their way, but it's the mistakes. It's l l L L L 229 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:12.240 L like and like you gotta you gotta think about, like what what's happening? 230 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.359 You know what I mean? When when it when it really counts where 231 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.160 I honestly thought, and Jay, you made a good point last last podcast, 232 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:26.359 last episode, like this could have been a rematch between the Big Ten 233 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:32.400 rivals of Oha State buck Guys and Michig Michigan Wolverings. But it's in those 234 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.680 times where just the mistakes of J. J. McCarthy, like it's you 235 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.720 know, he played a good season, but they finally put it on his 236 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.119 back and trying to make him win the game with his arm in and you 237 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.599 see what happened, and so you know, l L L L L baby 238 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.680 and so TCU horn Fogs. I mean, it was a great game, 239 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.799 man, but like I just saw bigger plays being made by the horn Frogs, 240 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.599 and the momentum was always their way. M Yeah, otis you called 241 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.279 it, you picked it, you got it. I was saying that it's 242 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:12.119 the Texas boy, and you went. I put my analyst hat on and 243 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:18.720 went with Michigan instead of my spartan dog hat and my hater hat. That's 244 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:26.519 a note to yourself everyone out there. Never go against your gut. So 245 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.960 it wasn't. It wasn't. My gut told me that the horn Frogs were 246 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.640 gonna win. But I said, hey, let me break this down, 247 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.319 let me get on the big board, let me this and that where it 248 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:44.440 went wrong. Everything that Michigan did up until the game was perfect. Everything 249 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.200 JJ McCarthy did and said up until the game was really good, really professional, 250 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:55.200 really hungry. He had that humble and hungry mindset until the week before 251 00:19:55.319 --> 00:20:00.880 the game. Yeah, that's so true about it. When he got there 252 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.559 the press conference, the big lights, national media, you start feeling yourself 253 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.000 a little bit, you start drinking that kool aid a little bit, and 254 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:21.319 he's red, so you know, but like he you know, he's he 255 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.559 said, you know, oh, if they come and play that three, 256 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880 you know, three four or five or whatever defense that they play, we're 257 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.799 gonna smash him. We're gonna have a field day. We're gonna show him 258 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:34.640 big ten football in the big twelve. And you know, the same thing 259 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.559 that my Grandpapy would say, the same thing that make you laugh will make 260 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:44.240 you cry. And that's what happened. Michigan went into the game. They 261 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.559 right off the bat, I thought, oh boy, you know, Donovan 262 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.680 Edwards fifty three yards. You know, as a running back, that's the 263 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.799 best feeling in the world. First play of the game, you busted big. 264 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.680 The crowd's going crazy, your team's going crazy. And they get to 265 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.160 the three yard line and they want to be cute. They want to do 266 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.759 Trickham Dickham offense and want to do Philly special. And what did that do 267 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.799 instead of if they ran the ball and got stopped. Now TCU has the 268 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.960 ball on the three yard line, it has to go ninety seven yards. 269 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.119 They do all that, lose yards and you know tackle at the ten. 270 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.400 They give TCU breathing room and they go down and play and you know, 271 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.680 capitalize off that and then next thing is a pit six. All right. 272 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.960 So now at the end of the day, I chalk this all up to 273 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:40.119 the fact that TCU played the game angry because they heard what McCarthy said. 274 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:45.240 You know, they played the game angry. They could score at will whenever 275 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.400 their backs were against the wall, but we need a big playoffensive. We're 276 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.400 gonna go get it. Michigan could not do that in the second half. 277 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.039 They mustard some good drives, they put together good drives and everything like that, 278 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.599 but the defense could not hang with that big twelve track meet that happened 279 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.359 that TCU put up there. And also too, Jim Harbaugh has to get 280 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.559 a lot of the blame on this. All right, the last time in 281 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.319 the postseason that Michigan's won a bull game, it's twenty fifteen, all right, 282 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.039 what's the last bull time Michigan won a bull game? They're one in 283 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.279 six, all right, one and six, And thankfully for them, COVID 284 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.279 hit that year that in twenty twenty that there was no Bowl games because there'll 285 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.119 be one and seven. Jim Harball did not prepare his team for that game. 286 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.920 Jim Harball is a bad game prep manager. When they have a long 287 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.119 period of time, the shorter the period of time, the better. We 288 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.160 you see this. If there's a bye week in between, you know, 289 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.799 it's they're not as crisp and out as sharp, all right. So that's 290 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.599 what happened. And Michigan, you know, they are eating their words right 291 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.759 now. And I love it. I absolutely love it. I love you 292 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.720 know all day, you know, New Year's Eve. I'm walking around the 293 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.960 store, gonna go get my king krab legs and my fallets, you know, 294 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.279 for a nice dinner. You know, people their maize and blue he 295 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:07.599 he ha hide and I'm just there like yeah, you wait, wait he 296 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.680 behinde, you know, extra bouncing their steps too, you know, so 297 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.400 big big shout out to TCU forgetting it done. I love what you say. 298 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.960 He he had he he ha ha. I mean, guys, I 299 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.599 mean they got inside the five yard line two times, came up with zero. 300 00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:33.640 Yeah, two sixes thrown by your boy JJ McCarthy. And then you 301 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.839 know he has the nerve to talk about he didn't know what conference. I 302 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.599 mean it was see a digital era, you know, people, this gives 303 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.559 you some insight what goes on when coaches are preparing their team to get on 304 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.839 the bus to go to the stadium. So this isn't like it used to 305 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.319 be where they used to give a bulletin board material. So con hits like 306 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.839 read the newspaper clippings on the wall, like back in my time and all 307 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:06.519 that. Now they put together like straight up videos, highlight reels of sound 308 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:11.519 bites. So they put the entire team in the meeting room right people, 309 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.240 they're all taped up. The busses are rolling the gatorades outside for where their 310 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:21.680 trip from this meeting room to the bus meeting room gatorade bags, bus go 311 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:26.039 to the stadium, and in that meeting room they play. They inundate that 312 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.039 team with about four minutes of negative speak that comes out of your mouth, 313 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.960 Michigan. So when you talk to them and you say these things to the 314 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.599 national media, they capture all of it. They may not react right away, 315 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.880 but they're capturing it all. And they played that for all those teammates, 316 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.519 those the TCU team and the coaches. They didn't even know what conference 317 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.799 TCU played in. They didn't know what that's a that's an ultimate smack in 318 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.720 the face for them. So the coaches were pissed. Players are pissed, 319 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.240 and you could tell the way they played that game. They weren't scared, 320 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.240 they weren't flinching, and they couldn't wait to get back out there and put 321 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.759 more inflict more pain on Michigan for the way that they kind of flippidly thought 322 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.599 that they were going to get past them and go on to the next game 323 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:15.920 with the championship game. Thus, Sunny Dyke's is now in the championship game 324 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.680 with the horn Frogs. It was an amazing performance in my opinion for them. 325 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.480 You know, the three three five defenses, the defense that they run, 326 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.480 it's very difficult to run on. It's harder than people think it is 327 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.599 to run on that defense. And I don't understand JJ McCarthy. His strength 328 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.759 has been his legs and he was afraid to use them when it all came 329 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.400 down to it in a game that mattered the most. It's like him and 330 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.039 c J Strattle, what you're gonna talk about him in a minute, changed 331 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:45.799 places a little bit a little bit, and he tried to think that he 332 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.440 could beat him with his arm, and he could not do it. JJ 333 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.920 McCarthy is the only college football playoff quarterback not invited to New York guys. 334 00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.119 And there's a reason why because he isn't that guy averaging thirteen points giving up 335 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.640 I think it was like thirteen point six points this year in defense fifty one 336 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.240 points they gave up. Look, there ain't nobody that can win a game 337 00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.960 giving up fifty one points, guys. Right, And for all those Michigan 338 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.519 fans that are out there that you know, want to come and say, 339 00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.240 well, at least we made it to the to the college playoffs. At 340 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.000 least we made it to a bowl game. I say, yeah, at 341 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:33.319 least we don't lose a bowl game. Listen, there was one play where 342 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:38.519 they had the entire Michigan offers alignment out here looking like they coming from everywhere 343 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:47.799 like they I remember seeing is from me TeV is It'm a team? Damn 344 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:49.839 he was looking. He was like, I mean, dude, he could. 345 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.440 It was like early everything. Listen. Yeah, they say falls star 346 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:04.079 on everybody but the center like suck. I guarantee you. JJ was seeing 347 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.799 them smacking Donovan when he's hitting that line because they started to put it on 348 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.440 that heat and the defensive shout out to the defense coordinator at TCU man because 349 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.400 at first, after that big run with Donathan Edwards broke, they did some 350 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.359 adjustments that was consistently changing every time Michigan tried to do something different. Mi 351 00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:27.079 GI Michigan's tied one of their tight ends, you know, goes out hurt. 352 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.640 But you know, I felt like there was times where Michigan could have 353 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:36.440 took the momentum, but that like you said, fuel to the fire. 354 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:40.000 You can say whatever you said, man, but everybody has a plan. 355 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.680 So they get hit in the mouth. Man, And so that's what happened. 356 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.359 And off season, go home. You can join us now and we'll 357 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.119 get ready for when you guys come to beast Lansing because it's about to be 358 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.839 on the popping right as it is. Joe Gillespie. Gillespie, that's that's 359 00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:00.519 the defense coordinator. And you know who that offensive coordinator was TCU Garrett Riley, 360 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.640 Lincoln's brother. He's going to be a candidate for a lot of jobs, 361 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.200 guys. Just so just just put a little pendnote on that one right 362 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.880 there. When we talk about like one thing, I have to address. 363 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:19.319 What were the camera so focused on JJ McCarthy's parents for him, man, 364 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.880 man and if daddy and his girlfriend? What what was all that about? 365 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.599 Like like why we always have to hear I didn't see anything going on with 366 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.880 the TCU. I didn't see TCU. What's the name Dougan? I didn't 367 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:37.799 see his mama and daddy. You know, it's weird because like the cameras 368 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:42.839 were like zooming in or like fans like it was Journey like girls. It 369 00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:47.119 was weird, man, it was just weird where and then what you Once 370 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.039 you sent that video? I was kind of like I was conflicted because I'm 371 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.240 trying to figure out, like, man, what any right man's mind can 372 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:57.640 think that that is not God forbid? Musburger makes a comment after they put 373 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:06.359 the videos. Yeah, it's like Brent Musburger was producing this game definitely not 374 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.039 trying to get canceled. So you gotta watch what you say anyway, right, 375 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.319 I mean, come on, man, but the cameras are doing it. 376 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.920 Did you see the edit though of you know, the picture of j 377 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:21.240 J looking at the celebration and they put the video They photo shopped the video 378 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:25.000 on the Jobo trick like it was really, Oh my god, No they 379 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.440 didn't. Man, It's like the Internet's undefeated. We know that, man, 380 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.519 that's where we live. Wow about that? Can can we talk about 381 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:40.359 how freaking I told you guys? I thought I gave everyone a clean slate 382 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:45.759 going into twenty twenty three. All right, is this your transition. Is 383 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.799 this my transition transition? Man, I know you're gonna talk about them boys. 384 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.599 They hurt you, They hurt his new year playing already they started getting 385 00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:00.960 ready, Steve Smith, I was getting ready to talk so much smack to 386 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.599 everybody on this show that was saying that because I picked Ohio State to beat 387 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.960 Georgia. Smitty was like, oh poot you crazy? You drinking that? 388 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.680 Yeah, right now you are. All y'all were coming at me, giving 389 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.480 me the silly face though, you know, all that stuff Lidas to say. 390 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.519 You know, I did not get that because once again the football gods 391 00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.799 are against me and they had to. You know, I thought I put 392 00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:36.759 I put bad so point take take take accountability that it's you, the football 393 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.240 lords man like damn kickers, the kickers man, damn kickers. I thought 394 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.880 I put it behind me in twenty to twenty two. But just as the 395 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:52.880 ball drops, times perfectly sent perfectly with this. Look at this showing the 396 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.039 countdown right here, all five seconds left. You know, okay, you 397 00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.720 know they're getting ready. I'm like, I'm in my ahead, I'm looking 398 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.359 at the clock. I was like, please get this off before the ball 399 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.799 because for some reason knew this kicker. I wouldn't trust this kicker. And 400 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.279 or did you see it during the timeout, Chocho? Did you see him 401 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.079 during the timeout? He he looked like he wasn't breathing. Man, Man, 402 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.200 look at this he did. He didn't even follow through, Bro, 403 00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:23.240 he didn't even follow through. Look at that right at twenty twenty three strikes, 404 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.839 Confetti's going this kickers missing it, bringing mine to the new year with 405 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.640 this. So here's look at all to get back. Coaches, get back, 406 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.759 coaches for for Georgia going crazy, get back, get back. All 407 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:42.000 right, let's let's let's break down this game management on that drive because our 408 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:48.359 boy Strow, Like that's the CJ. Strow that we see that plays against 409 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.519 us, you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, dude, 410 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.119 this dude is slinging it gun slinging it. He is. He is making 411 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:01.319 no mistakes, he's decision making his precise shout out to the old coordinator right 412 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.359 then, otis he used his legs he did. That's what I'm saying, 413 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:13.039 Like this dude, this dude was taking off And to my listen, if 414 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.960 I if I'm CJ Strong, clearly I'm not. But if I was him, 415 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.119 I'm putting. I'm putting that win in that team on my back, 416 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.960 and I'm not putting out for no kicker like or I'm doing my best to 417 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:31.519 get it closer. Because I felt like, you gotta know your kickers weaknesses, 418 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.680 and he he wasn't good from past fifty like he was like one and 419 00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.039 two or don't know what it was, but I felt like they didn't do 420 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.200 a great job of managing that that drive once they got to the field goal 421 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.720 range, they didn't do a great job like it. Legit was like, 422 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.680 Okay, I'm gonna get there, all right, let's put it on the 423 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.440 kicker. No, man, let's try one more shot and then get it 424 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:58.599 down there. I mean, it's something because I just said the kicker money 425 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.119 though. But look look, look like he ain't never had a kick like 426 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.640 that. No, not even wear clothes. He's been kicking when they up 427 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.680 by thirty. Man, that's what you've been saying. That's a no pressure 428 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:14.799 kick that he kiss. Right. If y'all, if y'all believe me and 429 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.960 go put putt right. It's one thing to go pup putt. It's another 430 00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:27.279 thing when you take five hundred Johnny, Johnny looks Johnny just said, you 431 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.519 got to give him an extra ten yards, bro, like do something to 432 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:37.599 get him a better probability, probability to get the kick in the uprights. 433 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.920 Like that's right. I just it sucked, did you. I wish CJ. 434 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.880 Straw when they re zoomed in on him like he was like what the 435 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.799 you know like he was he was shocked, Like, bro, I just 436 00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.960 did all that, man, like he laid he laid it out all on 437 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:57.640 the field. Kudos said, because he was on another level, like when 438 00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.680 you want to put something on tape for the next level. He just did 439 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:07.480 that, like he secured himself to be in the first round and just works 440 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.199 ten top ten like that was legit. That was a good one. That 441 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.280 was a good one. Man. It sucks alliens. Detroit Lions. Hmm, 442 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:21.000 hey, man, golf out here, bond bro Lions right now. 443 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.800 Boy, he can golf for a year. I was just talking about them 444 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.639 Lions. Man. I don't know how we let Carolina Panthers do what's like 445 00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:35.519 that and we could have controlled the destiny AnyWho. That's that's part of the 446 00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.079 deal. But so c J. Stroud had a great game. I mean 447 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.760 they fought Ryan day. We talked about this last week. I don't think 448 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.280 we talked about him in the show though. Ryan Day, in my opinion, 449 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.800 was coaching for his life in a way, because look, he's forty 450 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.840 five and six now. He was forty five and five going into this ball 451 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:57.920 game and those folks over in Columbus, man, I mean, I've talked 452 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:02.239 to Dantonio about it. Mel has mentioned things about that. Ohio say, 453 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.639 it's a different place. You know, you can go eleven and one and 454 00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:09.320 they want your head if that one is against you know, them boys in 455 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:14.039 Blue. And for him to lose two games to them back to back and 456 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.840 losing the one the way that they lost the home game this year, I'm 457 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.599 telling you there was a dark cloud. You know, e R the character 458 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.920 I think he's like a Snoopy character or something like that is rain cloud. 459 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:32.039 Man. I'm telling you that game he had that cloud over his head. 460 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:36.519 But did you see the way his body language was during that game? In 461 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.760 the playoff game, I mean, Ryan Day was going crazy. He was 462 00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.440 I mean, I mean, he was coaching his ass off because he knew, 463 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.639 like if I don't, I mean, this is the probably the best 464 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:54.239 losing performance you could have. It's gonna ease. I think a lot of 465 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:59.440 the people of the fan bases minds and Columbus because you look, he was 466 00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.440 right there. He could have won this game. Uh. I know there's 467 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.880 no moral victories, but in this case there is. But he knew that. 468 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.320 He knew that, and that's why you said he was showing that emotion. 469 00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.360 You know, he wanted to tell his people of Columbs, Hey, 470 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.719 I'm in it. I'm here, I'm trying to get these guys fired up. 471 00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:20.000 I'm doing everything I can because he knew there that that seat wasn't quite 472 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.360 hot. But you know it's that warm seat. You know when you first 473 00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:24.840 get in your car and put that seat, he that heater seats on, 474 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.159 you know, and it starts, you know, getting a little you know, 475 00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:30.920 toasty there. That's what it was a little bit for him in Columbus 476 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.559 there. But you know, you know I would say he coached his ass 477 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:39.239 off. Yeah, absolutely well. One shout out to the Winnie the Pooh 478 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:51.079 reference that stra did, uh winning winning winning, he or listen, what 479 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.800 what what head coach and seat is not high? I mean it's always lukewar 480 00:36:53.920 --> 00:37:01.880 anywhere Like it no't matter what you do, you'll just go back to su 481 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.280 if it gets high, bro, Like what you're talking about, Sonny Dikes, 482 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.960 They got to pay that somebody. TC's got what fourteen thousand people in 483 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.519 on campus. Yeah, the budgets. Like, man, but I'm that 484 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.519 guy right there. All your money, they got it. They'll get it 485 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:22.119 right. They're gonna give them that. They're gonna give him ten to twelve. 486 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.480 They're gonna get it right, especially if he especially take Georgia down and 487 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.199 win. He's gonna get it right. Oh my goodness. So TC becomes 488 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:35.400 a powerhouse overnight. Well no, I mean they was already they were dominating 489 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.960 that that down there in that conference. TC was dominating five and seven last 490 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:43.320 year. That's last year. We're talking decade. We're talking a decade. 491 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.920 Like they haven't been good in that conference though. Yeah they've they've been. 492 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:51.960 They've won. Like trust me, when I was an they were falling, 493 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.039 bro, they haven't been good. Test Daniel Thomason and Andy Dalton calm down, 494 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:02.559 you relax been, you gotta say right now, relaxed, Texas. 495 00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.000 He's been. He's been there with the you know, Boston College and up 496 00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.079 there with in New York and stuff like Saint John's ain't got a football team. 497 00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:15.239 Bro. Oh, let's look at the talent. Let's look at the 498 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.719 roster talent, though, guys, listen to the roster talent for this. 499 00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.360 Look at this the college football playoff roster talent. Look at where TCU is 500 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.719 one five star. I don't know who that is. Who the hell's the 501 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:31.159 five star at tc and then it's sixty three stars. Bro, That's what 502 00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:35.840 I'm saying. You win with grit. You win with grit, and you 503 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:40.159 went with people that ain't ain't was it what they were all cloud coming in. 504 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:45.039 That's what I'm saying. He Sunny Dice is put of a program together. 505 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:50.280 Look at look at look at coach D'Antonio when we hit the college. 506 00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:57.960 But that was that was the yesteryear. Come on now about now years and 507 00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.639 listen, I guarantee this some five stars, four flats on the on their 508 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.599 cars right now. Bro. Right, it's all clout now until you get 509 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.079 here. Until you get here, you got to prove that you're yourself. 510 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:15.119 There's some but to develop them too. And I feel like that's what I'm 511 00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:20.360 gonna tell you something. Just just today I was down here at the All 512 00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.079 under Armor All American I've seen a lot. You know, I've seen our 513 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.480 boys from Michigan State. I've seen Jordan Hall and Stanton Rammell. You know 514 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.320 they was doing they think Stanton, hey, man, hey, he's all 515 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.840 right now that tackle he was holding his own. And I seen Jordan. 516 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.360 Jordan is a very intelligent player. But when you see guy like they are 517 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:43.239 getting better at this rating system, I'm gonna tell you that Hicks Rember, 518 00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:50.519 that David Hicks kid, d J David trying. Oh my goodness. Uh, 519 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.599 we got to get the video. But go to go to Instagram, 520 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:57.679 go to u A next whatever it is on Instagram, and look at what 521 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.039 he was doing in his drills one on one. I understand why he's considered 522 00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:06.480 the number one guy. That's not a guy that I'm concerned whether or not 523 00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.320 he's got. He's over hyped, Okay, not at all. And when 524 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:13.599 you look at these talent rosters we just had up there, if you can 525 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.039 pull that up again, Pete, you can see, you know, look 526 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:22.679 at Georgia and how Ohio State and Georgia are built very similar, both of 527 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.920 them. You know what, they're like one five star apart, one four 528 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.199 star apart, and one three star part. They're very similar talent wise, 529 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:35.199 it's Michigan is kind of an anomaly. I think Michigan State the way that 530 00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.199 we're recruiting now, Mel Tucker, I mean, it's gonna be where Michigan's 531 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:44.199 talent is in short order in my opinion. But as you said, there's 532 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:47.679 still the TCU, the Sunny Dykes that are able to get that that grit 533 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:52.480 a lot of transfers over there from other schools that he's giving them a chance, 534 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.880 and he knows how to coach the boys up. I think it really 535 00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:59.679 matters what kind of coach you have in your style and how you're gonna get 536 00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.000 the start of those players, because it's different coaching a team of five stars 537 00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:06.960 than it is coaching the team of three stars. Don't you guys agree? 538 00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.159 I agree. I mean it's one of those is grateful, like being grateful 539 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:15.119 that chiev are on that campus, we're in that program, or like as 540 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:16.719 a three star. I was a three star, but like you know, 541 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.280 you didn't have the Instagram hype videos and all that growing you know, coming 542 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.480 up, so you gotta have to go today. You would be a four 543 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:29.280 all day long, easy, easy for I don't want it, bro, 544 00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.239 I want I know you wanted the hard way. I understand how you are, 545 00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:36.119 I know how your makeup is. You want it the hard way. 546 00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.960 But I'm telling you you would have got one of them little video edit guys, 547 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.280 this and that and next thing. You know, you might've been on 548 00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:46.079 the verge of a five because your side, your frame, where you played. 549 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:50.519 It's all about getting out there. This is marketing. That's all these 550 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:55.039 guys do. And I mean, did you not play? Oh yeah, 551 00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:00.840 but developing, like, looks of that talent got developed. Everybody got developed. 552 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.440 Man, If you don't develop, you know you ain't doing it right. 553 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:10.719 So but no kudos to Georgia sticking it out man. But they definitely 554 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.039 shouldn't have won the game. Clearly shouldn't have won the game. But that 555 00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:20.519 is the mark of a champion being able to find a way to win. 556 00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.800 When look, Ohio State deserved that game. We know that they were at 557 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:30.599 fourteen that that whatever that bull drive like first down it was a turnover on 558 00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:32.639 downs. And then it wasn't a turnover on downs because my man got their 559 00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.519 first down out of bounds. That tight end that right there, that was 560 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.880 that was that was a little iffy right there, man. That Marcel Brooks 561 00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.119 the five star over at TCU. The lone five star was a LSU guy 562 00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:53.800 that didn't transfer. That's what are That's what the football guys. Thanks Pete, 563 00:42:53.960 --> 00:43:00.440 but it is for that. But look too too, like you were 564 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.159 gonna we're just gonna talk about big right now. For some reason, I 565 00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.519 was backstage. People put me in time out and stuff. I was, 566 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:12.000 I was, you got time out, man. Sometimes it's the gods in 567 00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:16.880 the laptop. Big ten, five and four man. I mean we was 568 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:20.880 on a roll there for a while except those two games in the playoffs and 569 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.360 then lost to yesterday. So big Big Thing goes five and four in bowl 570 00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:31.920 games. Mm hmmm mmmmmmm. Got be real nice for the cover. Do 571 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:36.920 you think Kevin Warren? Do you think Kevin Warren is going to now take 572 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:42.159 that job with the Bears? With the Bears? I know this is off, 573 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:46.199 but what are they putting in a Dumbo and uh at two lane? 574 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:54.800 They putting a little physical, a little kick ass in there. It ain't 575 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:59.679 that hard man, U s C. Yeah. I had that discussion with 576 00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:02.760 a couple, got some of them USC commits. He's got signees. I 577 00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.840 asked their dad, like, what's the problem, and they all. They 578 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:12.679 they're all. It's the defensive coordinator from that that Lincoln Riley. He's brought 579 00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:16.199 over from Oklahoma. So he feels like, you know, he about to 580 00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:21.400 be gone. Yeah oh yeah, yeah the Big twelve. You know he's 581 00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:23.079 gonna do that the Pac twelve and but they're going to the Big ten. 582 00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:27.480 He has one hundred and eighty pound linebackers and stuff like that.

Yeah, till you got that 585 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:45.320 brown Bama you tall until you get that guard that is what it is, 586 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:51.480 heavier grilled cheeses. Then you get that guard pulling on power for that one 587 00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:59.159 hundred eighty pounds linebacker si hundred eighties pounds in the linebacker licking his chops like 588 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:07.360 right there, right there, you have you have uh uh wide receivers cracking 589 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:14.960 back on linebackers there be cleeting them right which is the point of inferensis now 590 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:19.840 lot of guys like so before we go though, Tate, Tate Hallick, 591 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:23.000 this is a guy, this is a legacy kid is now entered the portal 592 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:28.679 from Michigan State. Yeah, you got his sister balling off for US freshman 593 00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:32.360 guard on the women's basketball team. You know, I did I read that 594 00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:36.400 interesting article saying like, you know, the guys that are hitting that trade 595 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.320 support or are the guys that are a little bit further down in the depth 596 00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:45.039 chart. So you know, one, you gotta do what's best for you. 597 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.280 He did graduate, so you know, you have an opportunity to go 598 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:51.440 out and try to see if you can make a make a difference in another 599 00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.760 program with your last year eligibility. So you know, one, kudos to 600 00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:59.800 I always say kudos to you, young man, but you know, more 601 00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:04.199 so like you got to do his best for you, and that's what he's 602 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:09.239 doing. So luckily it has been main like key game changing performers for us 603 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:13.840 that have hit it. You know, we have those two D tackles that 604 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.599 we're kind of like, you know, maybe saying coach d Antonio's guys. 605 00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:20.800 But with the class that we got coming in, like I mean the writings 606 00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:23.239 on the wall, man, like got some studs coming in. So if 607 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:29.239 you weren't getting it, then this season it ain't gonna happen right now. 608 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:37.840 So so yeah, how about uh the WHO team whopping up on those coin 609 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.039 huskis right now, seventy to fifty one. Who with a little two and 610 00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:46.320 a half left in the second, you know we're scared. I was scared 611 00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.880 about this one man. Yeah, Rascal, Rascal can held the other team 612 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:53.199 to under fifty. Man, the Braska got some dolls on defense, but 613 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:58.840 clearly man like, we're rolling strong right now, clicking on all cylinders. 614 00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:01.719 Malae call is a different his maker, like, yeah, my man's after 615 00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:07.280 Kentucky. And then you got to sit out like we we missed him dearly. 616 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.039 But when he comes in and just he just gets buckets like and it's 617 00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:16.000 the not garbage points, but it's the stuff that you hustle, right, 618 00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:20.760 and then you got Tyson like ty Walker was going off man like when he's 619 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.480 hitting, he's when he's hitting everybody's hit because that's when he's just confident, 620 00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:29.079 Like I don't need no picking rolls from Madi. I just want to take 621 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:31.559 you one on one. Chop it up, break an ankle, lay up, 622 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.280 or shoot the jumper like he's he's got a great game. I love 623 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:42.880 Tywalker. Yeahs got word you going off now. Nebraska got a player out 624 00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:49.800 there looking like Bryce Bearinger out there with those goggles and everything you know, 625 00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:52.360 and man, look again knocked them horrors grants. Man, I had to 626 00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.800 I had to wear I had to wear that my senior year high school basketball 627 00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:00.679 man because scared to wear contacts. Man, you can see everything, man, 628 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.559 you just see it all. You know. Who won't be making a 629 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:14.239 difference on the hardwood this year? King Kon, King Kong, I was 630 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:22.119 right here. Yeah, we talked about this last episode one. Yeah, 631 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:24.960 because he had just started. Yeah, he's just starting it. But like 632 00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:31.559 think about the future, and yes, he's a great basketball player, but 633 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:36.400 we know that. Tom's like, you're gonna make your money in the league, 634 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.679 Like there's no doubt about it. So do you want to risk it? 635 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:45.159 Because like that would be a devastating story if he risked getting injured and 636 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.639 playing. And ke Keon is good man, like one. I mean, 637 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:52.840 I was looking at how he was cheering on the players during the game. 638 00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:54.679 He was on the bench last game, and like, dude was a team 639 00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:59.199 player man, Like he's a he's the team guy, like, which is 640 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.719 great, and like I think to his point, yeah, Tom, Tom 641 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:07.079 has had first rounders time and time again, and he's had these conversations with 642 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.639 his own guys, and you gotta have that true fat conversation with him, 643 00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:15.320 but also with Mail saying, look, we know you can do it, 644 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.639 but we know you can take it to another level on the football field, 645 00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.000 and we need you to get in that off season get healthy. And we 646 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:28.400 talked about what he has to work on stray and jau that you know, 647 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.880 he has all the other capabilities of every aspect level of the game, jump 648 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:36.960 ball, route, running, blocking. Now let's talk about some home runs. 649 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:40.079 Taking it drags post to the crib like that's really all it is. 650 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:46.800 And then I mean shout out to Tom have seen it and not saying hey, 651 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.239 I'm gonna waste not waste your time, but I want to just sitting 652 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:54.400 here collecting dust on the bench when you can be out there really getting ready 653 00:49:54.480 --> 00:50:00.440 for spring springball, but also next season because next season it's another stud year 654 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:07.480 gone. Well. The big thing is I think if Keyon Coleman did not 655 00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.760 have the season he had this year in football, he would be playing basketball. 656 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.119 Keon Coleman had a breakout season this year, and it's like, oh, 657 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:21.679 okay, you know I came to Michigan State as a two sport. 658 00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.679 You know I was recruited for football and basketball. But now I see where 659 00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.400 you know where my eggs are laying here. And I think too, if 660 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:37.599 he did play football, he would lose that growth, that and those games 661 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:42.480 that he can get in football from the training staff, from the weight room, 662 00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:45.719 you know, those those quick twitch muscles that he can be building, 663 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:50.599 those, uh, the morale he's building with his team. He wouldn't be 664 00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:55.599 there for offseason workouts, and that's when really true character shows. You know, 665 00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.519 those winter workouts that you do. I don't care what time they do 666 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:04.280 it in the more at night, whatever, but those true characters show and 667 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:07.880 the leadership aspect he will he would miss out of that with his team, 668 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:13.800 and I think the right decision was made for him to focus on, you 669 00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:16.519 know, playing football, because like I said, the kid has a terrific 670 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:22.639 physique, He has great ball skills. He can he can jump out the 671 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:27.280 gym for those fifty to fifty balls, and I think building that morale and 672 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.000 that chemistry with with whoever the quarterback is going to be, being a leader 673 00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:36.800 in that locker room in the offseason and getting ready for springball, that's the 674 00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:42.719 best decision that was made. Ye Hey, what else said? I? 675 00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:49.199 Think Keon, you know, he's always gonna be a basketball alumni because he's 676 00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.320 been on the court and we saw him make the play, he actually scored 677 00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:54.960 in the game. He's been on the team, so they can never take 678 00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:00.159 that away from him. The way I see it, they paying people the 679 00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:05.639 receivers like they almost they paying them quarterback money now in the NFL, which 680 00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:08.039 is only going up. You know, I think they're twenty five thirty in 681 00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:12.880 that range right now. By the time he gets they're gonna be forty plus 682 00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:17.480 okay per year when it's oide for his second deal. Now, I say, 683 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:21.960 when it's time to hang up to the cleats, they gonna do one 684 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:24.639 of those spartan reunions at his crib and he gonna have his own basketball court 685 00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:28.480 in the crib. Man. That's just the that's the plan. It's all 686 00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:32.400 gonna come back to Keon's crib where he got his basketball court, and they 687 00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:36.920 gonna bring old school day day and all in Dave, Draymond Green, all 688 00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:38.840 those guys in the in the current players, and they gonna pay play in 689 00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:45.400 Keon's crib basketball when he hangs the cleats up in the NFL in about twelve 690 00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:47.880 years from right now. That's what I'm saying he should do. Geez, 691 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:59.039 you're a suit sayer man, that's what he's gonna do, say because he's 692 00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:05.559 about to make that money. Many yeah, yeah, business, those nuances 693 00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:09.320 of the position man. Business, business decisions. Business decision man. Yes, 694 00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:14.440 like what one thing was also like, well, if you want to 695 00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.079 run track, That's what they were telling us back then, like we all 696 00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:22.199 football players all think they can and basketball players think they all can play football, 697 00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:29.039 and very few, far select few can go both and do both. 698 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:36.920 Did you did you know otis that you would in at Michigan State. I 699 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:40.800 was gonna actually I was gonna be on the track team and before you he 700 00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:45.039 he ha ha. But I was gonna throw the shot put because in high 701 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:49.960 school I won States, you know, throwing fifty eight. And I went 702 00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:52.840 in there, can you put here? We go? Can we think? 703 00:53:53.000 --> 00:54:00.320 I want to see their faces? We go.

You know, Perlos, I played for Pearls for one year, 719 00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:12.800 you know, a little known story, and he told me I could 720 00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.360 do both because I did win stay a couple of years of national championship and 721 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.920 shot put and I threw a little bit further than fifty eight. By the 722 00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:22.119 way, you too, But they said I could do what you do? 723 00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:29.559 Huh, what'd you do?
