03:03stoney
03:03was fully suited up and you you admitted something there was a revelation about you wow i don't like
03:10it i don't think i don't think it was as big of a deal as you're purporting it to be
03:14so it's a big
03:15deal because it's it's offensive to me we're gonna talk about it shocked to realize that you
03:19don't like my kind i was really shocked amazing also shout out david and the company q zip today
03:29all right where do you want to begin this is your week this is like in rudy when they grab
03:35his face
03:35mask are you ready champ because you you are still in the fight i don't really enjoy watching state
03:44play that's my biggest issue but where do you want to start with michigan michigan state well my
03:49thing i think mike the easiest thing to start for michigan michigan state is i'm not asking you
03:55for your bracket because i honestly i don't care about your bracket so you can save that for another
04:00show i don't i don't care who your upset pick is but i would like to know hey want to
04:05see my fantasy
04:06team but i would like to know when the brackets got announced and you saw who was all in your
04:15region
04:15for michigan and michigan state fans what did you think was it oh we're effed or you know what
04:23we got this we could actually pull this thing off or my goodness that second round matchup is going
04:30to be something because that that's where i was i looked and i saw states draw and i'm like okay
04:35you
04:36knew you were going to be in duke's bracket because they're always in duke's bracket i mean duke's region
04:41i don't know why but then it was like okay well st john's is the five wow well if st
04:48john's is the five
04:49who just won the big east who are the other people and then it was okay well kansas is the
04:54four
04:54msu is the three uconn is the two like wow on on the surface it looks like that's a very
05:02difficult
05:03bracket but you know that's really if you look at the programs all those programs are struggling
05:07kansas hey is my star player gonna play or not if he doesn't then or not right michigan state and
05:14uconn both stumbled towards the end of the the uh season so it's like okay dukes minus two players
05:21so you're looking at it like okay is st john's the best team in that bracket but i think that
05:26was
05:27going to be fun i looked at michigan's bracket and i just i chuckled a little bit david when i
05:34saw that
05:34one of the teams that they could be playing is a was a umbc umbc has to play in the
05:40play in yes
05:41so i chuckled a little bit for anybody who followed that's a team that upset the number one
05:46nebraska but other than that it was i said for michigan i think the toughest game that you would
05:53have would be potentially your sweet 16 game against alabama because well i think that's gonna just be a
06:01tough draw because alabama's just gonna shoot a ton of threes so when i saw that but i like if
06:05they can
06:06make it past that then i had to sweat a little bit because i'm like mike's maybe winning this bet
06:11i
06:11listen the the bet aside my problem in all of this is i i have a belief that one of
06:17the teams is capable
06:18of winning a national championship no i don't think it looks as easy as it was going to be before
06:23the
06:23case on injury but i think michigan can still do this i have zero percent faith msu can even make
06:31the final four i i forget about it i mean like look there's what i want to happen and then
06:38what
06:38i feel like will happen okay and now this is important you made a point last week that we
06:44never got to fully investigate and it wasn't even about college groups but it was about sports in
06:49general and you go mike can you enjoy something if there's not nothing on the line and i said no
06:57at
06:58this stage of my life there has to be something on the line that that's why regular season nba is
07:04such a farce or the day in day out minutia of baseball while i love baseball i don't overreact
07:12to much anymore with college basketball here's where i'm at with the money with this turning into
07:18the pros this would be the equivalent as a state fan i feel like i'm a toronto raptors fan they're
07:26in
07:26the playoff and they're a decent ball club they're nowhere close to the elite yes they popped the
07:32pistons last night but that's the pistons aren't elite gotcha like it's like knowing you have no hope
07:39of if you're in the west and you're not denver or san antonio or okc what's the point you can't
07:45beat
07:46those teams understand can't beat those teams understand where you're coming from mike and i'm not
07:50even gonna argue you're not mad i'm no man i'm past that okay i am the accepting one on this
07:57show
07:58okay here's the thing i get what you're saying but it's a little bit different than the pros
08:04for the fact that guess what you can go out and play san antonio they have a bad night shooting
08:11and that's it they're done because of the one and done type of thing it makes it a little bit
08:17different because yes when you're playing a seven game series you're allowed two games where you can
08:22go out there and just absolutely stink and still win it four games to two it doesn't change a little
08:28bit with the whole one and done format for you because i think that it does look i look at
08:33this
08:34tournament i see about 15 teams that if you told me they were cutting down the nets i'd be like
08:39huh i
08:39can see that if you told me kansas kansas just won the national title oh the freshman played okay i
08:45can see
08:45that yeah wouldn't be shocked so where you're like and i could say yeah michigan state play wow
08:51they finally hit threes huh all right not that shot pete tang pete or kurtang i know i just like
08:57calling him pete the first time you sent me that i started like who the heck is pete tang so
09:04look
09:05guys you tell me and again the one thing i don't obsess on really much anymore is the draw
09:10oh the draw is difficult the draws he's every year we do this you're gonna have to beat somebody
09:16good sometime and someone who's good ends up not being good go tell that to mr shabath it's no you
09:23can't talk to him he already has all the answers to life there's no point in talking to him so
09:29look i
09:29just i'm asking you guys what is the expectation see let me i want to offer something else expectations
09:37about the ncaa tournament where i'm at today versus where i used to be i used to just be
09:42championship or bust and although there's a level of that for me i could pathway something for state
09:48where i'd go hey hell of a run they're just not good enough for michigan that's the hard part
09:54because they've already hung a banner and i don't think anybody's gonna be pumped up about a final
09:59second one they should have they should be produced they could be by an amish point guard
10:03the point is michigan it should be championship or bust i said that a long time ago and a lot
10:10of
10:10people got angry at me for saying that well too bad 248-539-9797 can we please i often say
10:18this
10:18hockey elite and we play the matterhorn guys we have to be able to talk march madness let's have
10:25some fun here i'm not asking you to be basketball elite right i'm not asking you to know 512 upset
10:32i'm not interested i don't care about your bracket picks either i just want to know michigan to
10:37michigan state the baseline to happiness yeah tell me what these teams have to do to make you happy
10:44they finish here and you know what i'll tip my cap and say okay job well done better job by
10:51me
10:51my team stinks all right uh okay here's rico we'll get to some calls
10:56you
10:56you
