00:21michigan florida probably play them every year yeah in every sport actually ruby this weekend
00:28is rowing against alabama no kidding and i said who i don't know who their coach is nor do i
00:34really
00:34care but i said you do your job and you send that coach into retirement for the crew team
00:46kamari lewis is the head rowing coach of the alabama crimson tie there you go
00:50sorry mr lewis missus you're oh i'm sorry
01:01and that concludes our alabama rowing talk
01:06would you prefer we talk about the hoops tonight
01:10mr nate oats is going to be coaching for alabama as of now as of now what we want to
01:16do we could
01:16talk about the game and michigan state's playing yukon too which is going to be a hell of a watch
01:21you got to stay up late for it are you rooting for your your rival so that both these teams
01:25keep
01:26this thing going can you bring yourself to root for your rival if it means it could set up the
01:31showdown of all showdowns for the national title if you're an msu fan the first game is michigan
01:36alabama i'm not going to ask you to say go blue but are you pulling for the wolverines and as
01:42you're
01:42staying up late wolverines win the first one you say hey let's go izzo go green go white let's get
01:49them into the elite eight one step closer
01:53this is a tough one is it oh yeah it's a tough one because
02:02do i want six big 10 teams in the elite eight
02:09yeah oh i know eight five five five big 10 teams yeah my my apologies to nebraska um don't
02:17apologize they couldn't count either they had four guys on the floor at the end of the game
02:20yeah my team's on the floor um so do i want that for the big 10 yes because i want
02:27to be able to say
02:30that we have the strongest conference three in a row national champions in college football
02:37and now we're looking at and and i just told you all right i think it was eight of the
02:43iowa
02:45players two years ago were not a part of the program just a couple of them were recruits
02:50some of them were d2 some were naia they were like wyoming they're all over the place right so
02:55we are starting to see the big 10 tap into the resources that they have now that's not been michigan
03:03state and so i'm this kind of a long-winded answer to try and figure out in my head if
03:09i could
03:09possibly do this task that you're asking me to do i would like to hear from other wolverines fans
03:15before i give my answer how is it possible that you could root for michigan said be like rooting
03:23for ohio state and football jim what's the question will you root for your rival to win
03:28and set up a national title game between the two of you absolutely not yeah thank you i that that
03:35was
03:35my initial reaction i thought well maybe i'm off maybe i might maybe my blue glasses i'm a little
03:40surprised by your answers so in this situation i have a couple of opportunities
03:48opportunities and in those opportunities would i rather
03:56face michigan state in a national championship game or would i rather have the in-house rival
04:05oh and have my wife who's an alumnus of illinois she's a fighting illini and so is my father-in
04:16-law
04:18and my brother-in-law and i were teammates at michigan so we've got two on one side two on
04:23the
04:23other i tag team yeah now michigan state could play illinois in the final four here's how i
04:33interpreted it i feel really confident if i'm a michigan fan that we're the best team in this
04:38tournament now the way arizona plays is maybe it's up for debate but i feel like if i'm in the
04:43national
04:43title i'm beating whoever i'm playing and the most satisfying national title for many michigan
04:49fans maybe your situation is different because of the you know in-house illinois stuff most michigan
04:54fans the most satisfying national championship win would be against tom izzo in michigan state
04:59if you think hey if i'm in that game i'm winning that game yeah let's get the spartans there put
05:06them up on a tee and swing away so if they were to make it to the to the championship
05:14game would i
05:16enjoy that game immensely but i don't i can't root for them greg says he wouldn't enjoy that game
05:26no i don't think i would root for i don't think i would enjoy that game and i tell you
05:29what sarah
05:29wouldn't enjoy that game either um and yes while you could say while beating michigan state would be
05:37the best outcome possible the other side of the coin is also true whereas if michigan state beat
05:46michigan in the national title game i think i would need therapy for two weeks straight
05:51there is that risk but with great risk comes great reward we should ask uh shabath when he's in for
06:00the update oh yeah you want to get his opinion would he want to root for michigan to set up
06:04a title game
06:05between the two of them there's also no guarantee that your team even makes it there oh the correct
06:11and but you you want to keep to me you want to keep that dream alive now maybe you're terrified
06:17of it
06:17because of the agony that could be that two-hour block of watching those two teams play i think it
06:22would be incredible television 248-539-9797 kyle in toledo you're on 97.1 hey guys how you guys
06:31doing good good uh hey john i'm actually gonna trump when i root for my rival i'm a diehard michigan
06:38fan so
06:39i actually surprisingly in this situation would root for msu but the only reason i'm doing it in this
06:45circumstance is i'm rooting for purdue and i don't care who wins the iowa or illinois game
06:51whoever comes on top i want all four slots in the final four filled with big 10 teams i think
06:58that'd
06:58be awesome for the big 10 since we haven't won a national championship since the year 2000 right
07:03you'd guaranteed somebody would win a national championship now you are guaranteed somebody's
07:07going to be in the final four obviously because iowa and illinois are playing and i i understand that
07:13and i would love to have an all big 10 final four it would be amazing
07:19and look the chances of it happening i mean michigan is going to be favored not only tonight but if
07:24they
07:24win they'll be favored in their next game don't get me wrong would i be oh sorry no it's saying
07:32puncher's chance against arizona but go ahead i was like don't get me wrong would i be if if we
07:38did get
07:38the ultimate showdown of michigan versus msu in the national championship i don't know if i could
07:44actually enjoy myself watching that game just with the pure agony of potential defeat because that'd be
07:53the ultimate uh rivalry um um whatever you want to call it throw at your rival if we were to
08:01lose that
08:02game boy they'd hang it over your head game yeah oh my god but if we were to win that
08:07game it'd be
08:08you know you would remember that for years to come for the rest of your life oh yeah i mean
08:14but if
08:15your glass is half full guy you think you're winning the game yeah bring it on give me the greatest
08:20win
08:20in the history of my program and speaking of uh recent topics if that was how you sent izzo out
08:30yeah he said he's got at least two more years after that reporter buttered him up last weekend
08:35i that's i i'm i'm not going to be rooting for michigan state it really at any point okay you're
08:44honest about it i would love to beat them in the national championship game i think that goes without
08:51saying some text michigan fan yes i want michigan michigan state both in basketball and hockey go blue
08:56that's mike from napoleon absolutely not i don't want to see izzo win anymore i want to see him cry
09:03and go home screw tom izzo absolutely not i won't root for the spartans diehard wolverine fan i have
09:11michigan over msu in my bracket i will only root against state if it's against michigan or we need them
09:17to lose for tiebreakers it's not comparable to ohio state diehard msu fan not only may i looking
09:25not only am i rooting for michigan to lose i'd be happy to accept both teams losing if it's the
09:30only way i can guarantee michigan doesn't win the national title oh no you're just i mean that's
09:37just spiteful says msu isn't winning this year both teams losing at least means scum down the road
09:43doesn't get to celebrate see i 100 disagree with that it's like it's it's all the conversations that
09:49we have about ohio state when the game comes up right they'd rather they would rather go one and
09:55eleven than win a national title as long as that one is against michigan no well think about it this
10:00way john the last three years would you rather have neither team have won the national championship
10:06in football or michigan wins theirs and ohio state wins theirs i err on the side of my team positive
10:13of
10:13lifting my team right you want to have those moments and those memories and see your team do it
10:17yeah the only the only time i've ever heard anything of that argument is when i've had an
10:22argument with my younger brother hey cookies to make a long story short john is scared brian in a
10:30bronco i'm scared scared that's why you don't want to root for msu to play you in the title game
10:35because you're scared of what would happen i'm not scared of it frady cat jansen we've handled him
10:40twice already we'll handle him a third time and honestly i don't really care who's in the national
10:44title game i'm just want to see somebody show up against michigan feedback phones two four eight
10:50five three nine ninety seven ninety seven then we get right back into the tigers dream start to the
10:54season mcgonigal how about that for a debut it's 97 one
