00:00So we've got the question out there for Michigan State fans.
00:02Let's direct some attention to Michigan basketball team still playing.
00:05They have embraced the portal.
00:07I mean,
00:08four of the five starters are guys.
00:10They got in the portal this last off season.
00:14Have you embraced the new world order as a Michigan fan?
00:17Cause I don't want you to be a hypocrite.
00:19You can't bitch about the portal,
00:20but then celebrate when the confetti falls,
00:24you are utilizing it.
00:26Your school is embracing it as a fan.
00:28Has this got you on board?
00:30If you were hesitant before winning tends to do that.
00:34Well,
00:35results tend to do that.
00:36If it,
00:37and it's,
00:39it,
00:39it,
00:39it took me a long time to accept the fact that you could pay players.
00:44That's probably the bigger issue for me than it is the transfer portal and guys
00:49moving around.
00:49I think there will be some guardrails,
00:53hopefully sooner than later,
00:54but whatever those rules look like,
00:58when they hit,
00:59whatever those rules are now,
01:02I think you've got to maximize every way possible to make your team better,
01:08maximize every way possible to give your team,
01:13your school,
01:14your program,
01:16the best chance of success.
01:18Yeah,
01:19because you could do what Michigan football used to do,
01:22which is come up short,
01:23but claim you were doing it quote the right way,
01:25but that just ends up as a coping mechanism.
01:28Like when I hear some of the stuff from,
01:30well,
01:30Izzo does it quote the right way.
01:31That's like,
01:32Hey,
01:32we're going to make it harder on purpose for us to win.
01:35And it allows us to cope when we don't get to the final four.
01:38There is great value in,
01:40in,
01:40in terms of the context of how that was set.
01:42Like in terms of running the program,
01:44the right way,
01:44there is great value in that.
01:47Right.
01:47But you can't use it as an excuse when you lose that at least we're doing it
01:51the right way.
01:52Correct.
01:52You can do it the right way and win.
01:54And the right way is the portal.
01:56The portal is allowed.
01:57It's sanctioned.
01:58You can pay people money and get them to come play for your school.
02:01What you can,
02:02and you can take a look at your roster and you say,
02:04okay,
02:04well,
02:04I have these freshmen coming in.
02:06I have this,
02:06these guys coming back.
02:08How can I best compliment them?
02:10Do I need somebody that could be a 40% three point shooter?
02:14Who doesn't?
02:15Right.
02:15You know,
02:15the right way is having Kyle McCord in 2023 and going and getting Will
02:20Howard in 2024.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:24And Kyle McCord goes to Syracuse and you shrug your shoulders and maybe you
02:28feel bad about it,
02:30but pretty ugly.
02:31Isn't it?
02:31When you think about it,
02:32I know,
02:32but,
02:32but you're punished if you want to do it the way Izzo has wanted to do it.
02:36Like,
02:37all right,
02:37Trey Holloman is supposed to be a senior this year.
02:39Guess where he's playing?
02:40Not MSU.
02:41Jace Richardson.
02:42He went pro.
02:44You know,
02:44the idea that you will be rewarded if you do it the right way is not true.
02:48You it's year to year.
02:49I feel so scummy for complimenting the Buckeyes there.
02:52Well,
02:53it's funny.
02:53The Buckeyes,
02:54Ryan day had a quote this week that ties into all of this of all people.
02:57We're going to play some Ryan day audio,
02:58but he's spot on talking about dinosaurs and adapting.
03:01Okay.
03:04Okay.
03:15Bye.
03:16Bye.
03:17Bye.
03:19Bye.
03:22Bye.
03:42and i mean we saw it in college football with the unbelievable turnover in the coaching staff
03:47you know it's the signetti effect two years and indiana of all programs is celebrating a national
03:56title it's two years of college football playoffs we saw a number of coaches recent hires that
04:03because they weren't able to do it in two years or three years where you used to get four or
04:07five
04:08they are fired that's that's yeah the de facto you're dead as a head coach yeah you may get an
04:15opportunity but are you going to learn from what didn't work at your former school and it's also
04:20how schools attract the best coaches how did lsu attract um you know lane kiffin yeah well part of
04:28it is yeah they threw a a bag of money at him but it's also the resources available how is
04:34michigan
04:34going to keep dusty may they're going to have to increase the resources at his disposal it's not
04:41just the bag of money that helps with a head coach michigan did it last year when indiana came
04:46you know knocking we got to pay him more and give him more resources more more access nil more
04:52opportunities to recruit these guys year over year yeah so that he can deliver a final four maybe even
04:57a national title and and when ryan day talks about adapt or die like we've seen coaches who just said
05:03i don't want to do this like nick saban's not coaching anymore in college basketball jim boeheim's
05:08not coaching anymore jay wright has said enough i'm not doing this yeah now is always is to a
05:15degree stubborn but still driven and wants to do this but we've seen a lot of coaches who just say
05:22you know what i'm not going to adapt right and i'm going to professionally die i'm going to retire
05:27and move on and do something else yeah it's not it's not the way i've done things it's not the
05:31way
05:31i want to do things moving forward so i'm going to step away guys love the show what we're hearing
05:36from state fans in the wake of failure this year is the integrity and character of the program and
05:41how they approach things above everyone else it's the same nonsense garbage that michigan football
05:46did for years the right way doesn't mean you're going to win championships times have changed
05:51great you have your character and integrity as long as you're not worried about championships keep it up
05:56but in this landscape you can't win without evolving and they have not evolved at michigan state
06:00so they have been passed jay and west bloomfield i feel like i always need to say this too it
06:07doesn't
06:07mean that it can't happen doesn't mean that it can't but you're making it harder on yourself sure
06:12if if he wants to be if he can go out there and recruit like duke duke starting vibe was
06:18all
06:18recruited by duke right but is the comparison people made the lions can win the super bowl as they're
06:23currently constructed not the favorite right i don't know how many playoff games they'd win with the
06:27team in its current state they could win you want to make it easier on yourself you know don't tie
06:33an arm behind your back and say it's got to be only guys in the draft and everybody else is
06:36going to
06:36be role players msu is hey if i didn't bring them in and recruit them in their living room
06:40they can't be one of my best players i can get role guys but you're making it harder on yourself
06:44right i'll take izzo all day dusty's a scumbag another says dusty will be in the nba within two
06:50years people overlook it it won't be duke it won't be uh carolina he'll be in the nba
06:56interesting i mean he's only 49 i won't rule out him eventually coaching in the nba sure
07:02i mean we probably had those conversations what 15 years ago with coach izzo as well 10 years ago i
07:08know certainly in the last five years we've had it and he brought it up apparently it's happening last
07:11last offseason after their elite eight crazy msu fans on their high horse seem to forget that izzo
07:16has been suspended by the ncaa for recruiting violations and another on the subject of right and
07:21wrong you can also pay for hookers but that doesn't make it right
07:27kind of sums it up pretty good doesn't it
07:33yes i suppose you can certain but it's also not legal but yeah unless you're in like vegas
07:39yeah when rome
07:45that's the best text i think we've ever received about the nil or portal yeah where's the frozen
07:51four where are you going oh bad person john jansen just fueling that fire not many will argue with
08:01you 248-539-9797 so we got stuff out there for michigan fans about are you embracing this now
08:08even if it's shameless hey my team's winning so now i like it can you own up to that because
08:13if
08:13you're enjoying this run you are enjoying the fruits of the transfer portal yeah you would have to
08:18acknowledge that you like this even if you were even if that scummy maybe once upon a time i'd
08:24hope you'd own up to enjoying this because your team has a real shot to win the national title and
08:28it's not because draft and develop or recruit and develop it's because mercenary one two and three
08:34and even four are in your starting lineup from the last offseason and you can call them mercenaries
08:38all you want but it's within the rules oh i'm not faulting them for it at all i mean and
08:45to dusty's
08:45credit they don't play like four individual mercenaries they play on the floor with five
08:50guys like a team that's a coach that had success other coaches have bought players
08:53and spent more and had great classes and it doesn't always work like this
08:58well let me expand this to a global sense you know what i do i would say i said 12
09:04noon but i'll
09:04say 9 a.m at college game day up until 11 at night i watch college football like all day
09:11and
09:13game here game there uh everywhere and so this landscape of college sports has not changed my
09:21habit of doing that college basketball saturday i watch college game day and then right who's playing
09:27at noon who's playing at two who's playing at four when's michigan playing like that hasn't changed
09:33my watching habit of the sport at large yeah i mean some people michigan fans are enjoying the hell out
09:39of this and if i was a spartan fan i would be too if my team was doing it right
09:45like i mentioned being
09:47a hypocrite and hypocrisy do you think if if tom iso had landed yaxl and michigan state was in the
09:55final four that spartan fans would say i just can't enjoy this because tom's can't believe he
10:00stooped to the level of everybody i just i can't even bother to watch the final four because our
10:05program is not standing on the business and ethics that tom wants to know they'd be telling him hey
10:10michigan we're embracing this you can't keep up with us our old bag of bones is doing it better than
10:16you they would absolutely love this if they were doing it the thing you have to do now in college
10:22basketball as a coach is you've got to aggressively attack the the guys that are projected to go
10:29late first round but could fall into the second yep and then the guys that are all protect protected
10:35or projected to go in the second round because there's no guaranteed money in the nba so you have
10:40to that's who you have to attack because those guys are likely then to stay in college one more
10:46year to get the nil if you're not doing it that you're not doing that you're not competing at the
10:52highest level in my mind in the at least the off season perfect text to wrap this up so if
10:58i'm
10:58connecting the dots guys msu just needs to buy a couple hookers and they'll be right back in the
11:01final four we'll talk a little wings this hour some tiger baseball deer john at 935 it's 97 one
11:08one
