00:09i gotta tell david i know we'll try to get to a little later that duran stuff
00:13is i'm fascinated by it i don't think people are but man i mean how bad if this guy ends
00:22up taking the qualifying offer how badly did trajan misplay his hand i mean it's just feels
00:29like amateur hour in this town and we'll i'll wait and see i don't want to i don't want to
00:33bury
00:34trajan langdon you know inappropriately but also if duran took the qualifying offer how bad do you
00:41not want to be here to leave essentially if the if we can make a broad assumption the pistons have
00:48offered five at 150 how bad do you gotta want to get out of somewhere to leave 141 million dollars
00:57on the table you can't even spend that in a lifetime i mean you can sign floyd mayweather
01:04but you you know what i'm saying unless you're half an idiot you can't at that point you have
01:10now forever changed your family's life and the generations to follow unless again you're andre
01:17rising it's just holy hell if he takes the qualifying offer oh boy what what a sight that'll be walking
01:26in the locker room uh but we'll we'll get to it later give me a few of the texts and
01:31then we can
01:32kind of get into this tigers thing uh for a little bit i don't want to go crazy with it
01:38a text here on the lion scruggs is the guy and you kind of acquired him to have a backup
01:42center
01:43he's banged up now but he should be back any day now great great juice scruggs that'll do it
01:51it beats mclaughlin i know that on if anyone goes undefeated someone says indiana has the easiest
01:59schedule they will go undefeated sorry about miami paul but it won't be miami not with mario
02:06a question did you have you guys done it did you do any college ball last week while i was
02:11gone
02:13what was that was any of that implied like i feel like there is no buzz locally like not even
02:21my
02:21friends who still like the sport like i think they're getting worn out but like michigan and
02:26michigan state it's all right state's got a new coach it doesn't feel like it used to you know the
02:32new coach i'm gonna have a new program and it's no you're not you know oh i'm gonna have a
02:36new program
02:37yeah are you no you're not no you're just gonna buy and sell whores like the last guy
02:46and then like for michigan you got a new coach i don't know if anybody cares
02:52like i don't think the team's gonna be that good i think nine and three eight and four something like
02:59that schedule's not easy i don't know if bryce can play you gotta implement new systems on both sides
03:04of the football uh it's it's so sad because like we should be really amped up for college football and
03:13i if you are i i'd love to hear from you but i i don't i don't sense it i
03:18don't feel it i don't feel
03:19any pressure that i need to add it to the show sheet and make it a big topic i mean
03:24david like you're a
03:25michigan fan would you how would you categorize your excitement for the open okay yeah exactly all right
03:33okay then tremendous i can't wait for football but i'm just whatever with michigan football right
03:41now why is that though i you have a new coach you got a 12 million dollar quarterback
03:47you invented the night game i don't want to be negative because every time you ask me this
03:52question about michigan it comes off as negative you were right last year i just don't believe in
03:58bryce he could become something but right now i just don't see it and i'm not excited
04:04for the season because of it what's there not to believe in he's the greatest michigan player of all
04:08time david all right take it easy no i mean but i mean david i'm being serious years it's crazy
04:16to see
04:17what has happened to college football from an excitement standpoint and like i i understand if
04:24people say hey saturdays i just pretend it's like it used to be and for three hours i watch my
04:30team
04:30i'm not mad at anybody but when you if you've listened to this show for a long time think about
04:37our augusts we used to do all kinds of countdowns lists rankings you know bold prediction different stuff
04:48i don't think anybody gives a rat's ass and i think you got a lot of people who are kind
04:53of
04:53lying to themselves that they do because there's no juice there's nothing that it's just not everyone
05:01knows what the sport is now it's just whether you're willing to say it out loud and i think that's
05:08the problem like jeremy's update i'd love to bring up but like i we could do this right now with
05:16no prep
05:17i'm being dead serious i don't know that i could name 15 guys on michigan state
05:24and we we did this for a couple of years david and you remember these i could name all 85
05:31scholarship
05:32players yes you could and then i would do the same thing for u of m can't do it anymore
05:35i don't know
05:37that i could name 15 spartans and i'd put lunch on that i it's just i'll watch the opener just
05:45because
05:45it's what you do like what what day is the opener i know they're gonna play friday night
05:48they play september 4th i believe that's correct yeah maybe i won't watch it no but to you i got
05:55other things to do that weekend but i'm all set and to your point about having other things to do
06:00yeah while i was off i did have a conversation with my family because michigan state plays friday
06:04michigan plays saturday and i mentioned it to him i said you know what do you want to do you
06:09want to
06:09do the double dip what do you what do you want they all looked at me and said i don't
06:12want to go to
06:13nothing i don't want to go to the friday game michigan state and i don't want to go to michigan
06:18so i'm like whatever so we're we're basically what three weeks out yes a little over three weeks yeah
06:24is that where it is for people and maybe it's a text only topic like is is this where we've
06:31arrived at
06:32like for so long if you go back generations where the lions were second class citizens in their own
06:41town and michigan football really carried the banner are we just at a point where college football
06:47is completely irrelevant locally i'm being very serious when i say this because nobody can't like
06:56it we used to be so amped up for saturdays college game day what's the noon kick what's the abc
07:043 30 cbs sec with verne longquist what's the night game and it was going to be the best game
07:12of the day
07:13they've even altered our viewing patterns the best game of the day is sometimes on at noon now
07:21nobody nobody's trying to do that but is is as we're a couple weeks out like if you're a michigan
07:27state fan are any of you excited about this season are you aware there's a team and if you're
07:35a michigan fan look michigan is complicated it's complicated because the harbaugh thing took a lot
07:44out of people then the cheating scandal right when it seemed like you were at the mountaintop and it
07:50marred the actual accomplishment and then you won it but nobody respects you for winning it
07:55and then you had charone and his penis adventures and nobody liked him and now you you you get rid
08:05of charone under scandal you get rid of your ad under scandal and you hire a good college i think
08:13whittingham is a very good college football coach but he don't fit here and it doesn't feel like he'll
08:19be here very long it feels like he's a very good gauze pad and and bandage for a couple years
08:27but
08:28like are you excited i'm asking you know i we can do the tigers in a little bit i'm really
08:37interested
08:37because when otto brought it up it got me thinking david you and i in pre-show there's nothing we
08:42plan
08:43to do this week with college football not a thing look at where we fall into this used to be
08:50the
08:50exact time we would start ramping things a ton of things a ton yes and now you tell me the
08:56opener
08:56september 4th and there's a million other things i'd rather do i don't know i'll throw the number we
09:02can do one segment on it then i'll move to tigers it's no big deal but i would love to
09:05know
09:06if i said one to five your excitement or if it's easier for you one to ten we're sitting here
09:14about
09:14three weeks from the opener and everyone's doing college football previews and you're starting to
09:19see articles and different things have you reached scroll by it phase have you have you gotten to a
09:27point where you've just you're totally meh about the sport and if not say it with your chest but i
09:35don't
09:35know i can only speak for my audience who guys i mean but also look my personal life all the
09:45people
09:45i know ain't nobody talking college football nobody cares it's just that the emotional bond with the
09:54game has died it's it's very it's inexplicable to watch a college game now because you used to feel
10:06everything now you feel nothing and i mean it david i would be happy to to try and if i
10:13succeed i'm off
10:14the hook and if i don't i owe you lunch i don't think i can name 15 spartans i really
10:20don't think i
10:20could do it 248-539-9797 that's what happens when you turn the sport into a hooker market
10:27there you go only missing is wayne brady's visit to the atm
10:32she hit me all right thank you ralph
10:35you
