00:00Okay, explain.
00:02Let's have some fun, Mike.
00:05This from CBS Sportsline, bold Big Ten predictions for this upcoming season.
00:11Since everybody is having or has already had their spring game,
00:16they came up with some bold predictions for all 18 teams in the Big Ten.
00:22We're not going to go over all 18.
00:23Oh, my God.
00:24But I'll start off with like this.
00:28It's the Wisconsin Badgers.
00:31Wisconsin Badgers will miss a bold game and start over.
00:35Luke Fickle's term at Wisconsin will be over.
00:39It should have been over last year.
00:41The buyout was huge.
00:43I can't argue because ultimately he has gotten no traction.
00:49The offensive philosophy when it started out bringing the air raid there,
00:52Phil Longo there, it never worked.
00:55I don't understand it.
00:57So, I will say, what do you want, agree or disagree?
01:01Agree.
01:01I just, I never understood what the hell that was.
01:06I agree on this one as well.
01:07I just don't know how bold it is because, like Mike, I thought he was going to be fire last
01:11season.
01:12So, they didn't have the money.
01:17Find it.
01:18Start over.
01:20All right.
01:21Uh, Washington Huskies.
01:23The Huskies will be ranked in the top 10 at some point with quarterback DeMond Williams Jr.
01:30Yeah.
01:31I see.
01:31Here's my problem.
01:33I have to separate my bias for what a rat situation that was with DeMond Williams and the renegotiating and
01:40leaving.
01:41And now I'm back and the school was going to sue him.
01:44I will have to assume, uh, fences have been mended.
01:48And DeMond Williams has put enough on tape where I go, okay, this kid has a chance to be a
01:54top 10 QB this year and power that team.
01:58I'll say, I'll say yes, but I still, I have, I forgot all about that.
02:02I have, I haven't, I hate him.
02:04I have a hard time getting over this.
02:06I'm glad you mentioned it.
02:07And until I hear of such, let's just hope it wasn't Jaden Daniels, Arizona state.
02:12And they have your right mended fences.
02:14If they have, I can see that happening with the other problem is these left coast teams.
02:20They don't, I just don't buy into it.
02:23I don't believe in it.
02:24All the travel they got to do and the setups and they're soft.
02:29Okay.
02:29They're not meant for this.
02:31Let's go back to a left coast team then, Mike and Kenny, feel free to chime in.
02:35I know it's big 10 and you know, pillow fight and all of that.
02:38Oh, you mean, no offense to Kenny, but the big 10 has won three national titles in a row.
02:43One of them with an asterisk and two straight up.
02:46You got to just say it.
02:47I'm doing that for cookies.
02:50USC.
02:51Nope.
02:52Jaden Maiava wins the Heisman trophy.
02:54Catio.
02:56No, I just can't.
02:57I can't.
02:58I can't let Lincoln Riley hurt me again.
03:00I can't do it.
03:01Well, Lincoln Riley says he thinks this is USC's championship window.
03:05It is now open.
03:08I think I'll go with, I'll go with death.
03:10I want to believe because college football is better with USC.
03:13It is.
03:14Will he at least be at the ceremony, Mike?
03:17No.
03:19Mike's gone full spite.
03:21No.
03:21Here's the quarterback near and dear to your heart, Mike.
03:24He was once the quarterback of MSU at Illinois.
03:28Transfer QB, Caden Hauser will break a school record.
03:33No.
03:34He replaces Luke Altmyer and he will go out there and break the school record for touchdown passes.
03:40The answer is no to all of this.
03:42I watched it.
03:42Remember, I am an ECU booster club member.
03:46Okay, no, everything they did at East Carolina was like one yard passes.
03:51Caden Hauser's not any good.
03:53No.
03:55I reject this on premise.
03:57You can't get better as a quarterback when you're coached by a bedspread.
04:00No.
04:04Nope.
04:04David, never mind.
04:07Indiana Hoosiers.
04:09Indiana will lose three times and miss the college football playoffs.
04:15I disagree with losing three times.
04:17Their schedule includes games against Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and tough road trips to Nebraska and Washington.
04:24Doesn't matter.
04:25They're a machine.
04:26Their evaluations are rock solid.
04:27They have the financial backing of Mark Cuban.
04:29They got Josh Hoover out of the portal.
04:31They got Nick Marsh out of the portal.
04:34I really just believe what Dusty May is doing at Michigan is what Cignetti is doing at Indiana.
04:39I'm not picking them to lose three times.
04:41Now, maybe they get left out losing two.
04:43But no, I'm not picking them to lose three games.
04:46Okay.
04:47Yeah, I don't see that either right now.
04:49I just don't.
04:50That schedule that they have, Ohio State, Michigan.
04:52Okay.
04:52Hey, I love how he puts Michigan on there.
04:54Like, they're anything special.
04:56What are you talking about?
04:57Vegas says...
04:58Anyway.
04:59Northwestern, Mike.
05:00Another former MSU quarterback.
05:03Northwestern?
05:03What are we doing here?
05:05Northwestern?
05:05All right, Dave Rebson.
05:06Go ahead.
05:06No, no, no.
05:08I'm about to talk about Northwestern, David.
05:10I don't want to hear about Northwestern.
05:12I do.
05:13Rico Beard, I do.
05:14What the hell is going on today?
05:16He has a bad attitude.
05:17I don't know.
05:20Can I just go home?
05:21Northwestern.
05:22Ha!
05:23Ha!
05:23Ha!
05:24Aiden Childs will lose a starting job at some point this year.
05:27A first game.
05:28Yes.
05:30100%.
05:32Can't play football.
05:33Not well, at least.
05:35Doesn't process.
05:36Holds on to the ball too long.
05:38Inaccurate hero YOLO balls down the field.
05:41No, I just...
05:42No.
05:42No to all of it.
05:45Who's the backup?
05:46Don't care.
05:47David, am I allowed to talk about Nebraska?
05:49Yes.
05:50Okay.
05:51Sure.
05:51Nebraska.
05:52The Cornhuskers will miss out on a bowl game.
05:56And...
05:57Yes!
05:58Yes!
06:00Rico.
06:00Next question, Rico.
06:02This guy.
06:03This is like one of those Senate hearings.
06:05He's just yelling at you.
06:07You can't even answer the question.
06:09I'd like to hear the rest.
06:11Okay.
06:12New quarterback coming in there.
06:14Who is it?
06:15Miss...
06:16Is that that bum back up the head last year?
06:19Yeah.
06:19This guy can't throw the ball.
06:21Was it Anthony...
06:24Condoria?
06:25I don't know.
06:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
06:26That's the kid who played at Virginia and UNLV.
06:30Calandria?
06:31Yeah.
06:31Yeah, he stinks.
06:33All right.
06:35Do they miss a bowl?
06:36Schedule highlights?
06:38They will be on the road for...
06:42Oregon, Illinois, Iowa, MSU.
06:45Home to Indiana, Ohio State.
06:48Oregon State and Washington.
06:50Yeah, no, no ball.
06:51No ball.
06:53No ball.
06:55Minnesota.
06:56Golden Gophers will pull off a big upset this year.
07:00Gophers have road games at Washington, at Indiana, at Penn State, and they welcome Michigan to Minneapolis.
07:06They will win at least one of those games.
07:10I'm going to say no.
07:11I mean, Fleck did a good job last year, but look, they don't have talent.
07:14They don't have talent.
07:15They don't have NIL.
07:16I don't love the quarterback play year over year.
07:19And Darius Taylor's gone, correct?
07:21Is he finally gone?
07:22I think so.
07:23Okay, good.
07:24I was just making sure he wasn't in the senior circuit.
07:26I'm going to say no to that.
07:27Does beating Penn State count as an upset?
07:31I don't think Penn State's going to be good.
07:33They'll be underdogs.
07:34Yeah, I don't think...
07:35I understand that.
07:36I just don't think Penn State late in that year will be good.
07:39Go to the next team before he yells at you.
07:41Rutgers.
07:42The Greg Sciano era will come to an end this year.
07:44Feels like it.
07:45Rutgers will just finally miss out, and they'll fire Greg Sciano.
07:49I think you have to.
07:50Look, they tried.
07:52They've done everything they can.
07:53They've been patient.
07:54They've given him money.
07:56He just...
07:57He's never going to get it going the way he did 20 years ago.
07:59When the Empire State Building was red and white, and Rutgers was number two in America.
08:03It's just, they can't get it done, and the neighborhood has gotten so much tougher.
08:08Here's how you know this is a bold prediction, and this is how bad you are.
08:13Purdue.
08:14The Boilermakers will win a conference game.
08:18Purdue is 0-18 in the last two years.
08:21Barry Odom will get it going.
08:23He's a good defensive coach.
08:24Yes.
08:24They will win at least one game.
08:27Toot toot, boiler up.
08:29They'll win a game.
08:30Yes.
08:30They have Minnesota at home, so they could probably win a game.
08:34I love how David is circling that on April 22nd in our post-spring football bold selections.
08:39Go ahead.
08:40Penn State, the Nittany Lions won't beat a team with a winning record.
08:43They may finish 9-3, but they won't beat a team with a winning record.
08:47Yeah, I'm good with it.
08:48Road games, Michigan, yeah.
08:51And USC, Wisconsin, they're going to beat teams, but just not anybody.
08:56New staff, new roster.
08:58I need to see it to believe it.
08:59Sure.
08:59Ohio State, they break their Big Ten title drought.
09:03They haven't won the Big Ten title since 2020.
09:07This is going to be the year.
09:08I'm going to say no.
09:09I'm going to go with Oregon.
09:11They're the only left-coast team I respect.
09:13You get Dante Moore on the hero arc.
09:15He'll be the number one pick in the draft next year.
09:18I'll just go Oregon.
09:20I can't do it with Ryan Day anymore.
09:23These big game game plans are a thing, and they're a problem.
09:27And even with, I know this is further along, but even with Oregon, you've then got to believe in them
09:31again in the playoffs.
09:32They got to show that.
09:33But that's not what this is about.
09:35This one's near and dear to my heart, but my guy, Maryland, Terps will win a game in November.
09:42They are 0-9 for the last two seasons.
09:46Their November slate at Purdue, Wisconsin at home, at USC, and Penn State.
09:51They will win in November.
09:52They will win, too.
09:53Malik Washington Ascension.
09:55Yes.
09:56Okay.
09:56Yes.
09:58We're going to end it off with the two local teams.
10:00Great.
10:01Which one do you want first?
10:01I don't care.
10:03MSU.
10:04Sure.
10:04Michigan State Spartans will make a bowl game.
10:07No.
10:09I don't have any talent.
10:10I can't name any of these guys.
10:13You look at who they got in the portal.
10:14They recruited a guy from Checkers.
10:16They got a guy from DQ operating the Blizzard machine.
10:19I don't know what to say.
10:21The fact that Jonathan Smith, to me, had at least a 6-6, 7-5 team and blew it three
10:27times
10:28late in the game, I think you upgraded your coach.
10:30Rico says yes.
10:32I hope he's right.
10:32I just said a bowl game.
10:346-6 is a bowl game.
10:36Superb.
10:38Spartans will make a game.
10:39I want some ice cream from DQ.
10:41David.
10:43And we'll finish with Michigan, fresh off of their spring game.
10:47Sure.
10:48The Michigan Wolverines will average 35 points a game.
10:54That's funny.
10:55Hold on.
10:56That's the question?
10:57Of all the things we could ask?
11:00Funny.
11:01Well, sure.
11:01They'll put up 70 against some corpse like they did to Central last year, and it'll affect
11:06the whole thing.
11:07Yep.
11:08So, yeah.
11:09Sure.
11:09I don't think it guarantees they're any good.
11:11With the new staff in place, Bryce Underwood takes steps forward and gets this unit back
11:16to lighting up the scoreboard and puts them right back into the Big Ten and CFP.
11:20Well, if his first quarter and nine pass attempts in the spring game are any indication,
11:24I'd like to put that under review.
11:26He threw a backwards pass for a touchdown.
11:28Tremendous.
11:2915 points.
11:3035?
11:31What?
11:32I'll say yes.
11:33David, you play a lot of garbage cans, and you can roll your helmets on the field and
11:36score 40.
11:37UTEP, Minnesota, Rutgers, Michigan State, UCLA.
11:41Yes.
11:41That's a lot of poo-poo.
11:43That's a lot of poo-poo.
11:44I'm not counting Western at the start.
11:45A lot of poo-poo.
11:46Oh, Western's good?
11:48Western's good.
11:49Hey, they were last year.
11:51I don't know if anyone's still in KZU.
11:52Okay.
11:53That's fair.
11:54That coach they got out there from Alabama, they pounded the rock.
11:58They had a quarterback that was like the belldozer from Oklahoma.
12:01David, I don't know if any of the players are still there or the way the portal works.
12:04I'll double back and let you know soon.
12:05All right.
12:06Poor Western.
12:07What do they got?
12:08It's going to be a trombone player and the Bronco mascot.
12:11Did anyone stay?
12:13Lane Taylor is his name, isn't it?
12:16He's done a nice job out there.
12:18That's a college football blitz, 97-1.
