00:00So, Western Michigan, Michigan, I mean, I don't know any other way to put it
00:06other than that Western Michigan got completely hosed by the officials in this game.
00:11So, it seems like you're going to add a second back to the clock when Michigan...
00:17Well, the problem is, and I don't know how this happens,
00:21the clock on the field that the replay officials use
00:26doesn't sync up with what NBC throws out there.
00:29I know that's what they're saying. Is that confirmed?
00:33Well, I mean, the MAAC conference didn't put up much of a fight.
00:35They're saying there's a difference, and those clocks aren't 100% synced.
00:40But they need to show that.
00:42They need to show the internal feed, because everyone's just looking at the TV feed.
00:47Of course. And the TV feed, it's not even close.
00:51I mean, the ball was 20 feet in the air as the clocks hit zeros.
00:57But the officials say that's not the clock that we use.
01:01It's the one up, the replay booth that the Big Ten uses doesn't sync up with NBC.
01:05They need to show that.
01:07They need to get a camera in there and show the difference.
01:09It looks horrible.
01:11Yeah.
01:12As big an issue is, Michigan has a new head coach.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Right?
01:17Would have been a brutal start.
01:18Had seven points before that.
01:20Well, it's still a brutal start.
01:21Before him, for sure.
01:22That's a horrible look for them to get pushed to the edge by an in-state directional school.
01:28It doesn't bode well.
01:29It doesn't get much worse.
01:30They got a hyped-up quarterback.
01:31Wolverine fans were saying, fire Kyle.
01:34Right.
01:34In his first game.
01:35In his first game.
01:36They got a hyped-up quarterback who's not living up to the hype.
01:39Mm-hmm.
01:40Coach already said, yeah, his job's not secure.
01:44I know.
01:45And he almost loses to Western Michigan.
01:47Yeah, it was bad.
01:48Should have lost.
01:49And now they're going to play Oklahoma this week.
01:51And Oklahoma looked really good last week.
01:52So, it looks horrible.
01:55And I didn't understand it.
01:57I thought they got robbed.
01:59But if you're going to tell me that there's a different clock, an official clock, that they don't use, the
02:04NBC clock.
02:05Even more embarrassing.
02:06I don't understand that.
02:07Even more embarrassing than all that.
02:10Michigan fans storm the field afterwards?
02:13Yeah, right.
02:14What is it?
02:14Hail Mary.
02:15You just get caught up in the moment.
02:16Kids are dumb.
02:19They're above Michigan.
02:21Look, I don't like to give props to Michigan.
02:23I hate their fan base.
02:24But they're above that.
02:26You're above storming the field.
02:27They're above storming the field.
02:29Barely eking out.
02:31Winning on a Hail Mary.
02:32A gifted Hail Mary.
02:34Yeah.
02:34I mean, that's more embarrassing than you guys get swept up in.
02:38I know EB and I stormed the field one time.
02:40I can't even remember who Maryland beat.
02:42It wasn't like they beat the number one team in the country.
02:46For Maryland, it's fine.
02:47It's understandable for Maryland.
02:49Because they have no real tradition.
02:51I know.
02:52But my point is, it was like a win against NC State.
02:54They're still dumb college kids.
02:55Even though it's Michigan.
02:56They're hammered.
02:57It's a tough school to get into.
02:58They're drunk.
02:59There's like 105,000 of them.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:01But man, that was a lot of bad looks coming out of that game all the way around.
03:07Whittingham's performance.
03:08Michigan's performance.
03:10Adding an extra second back to give Michigan another shot at winning the game.
03:14Storming the field.
03:15It looks really bad.
03:16Man, a lot of bad optics for that Michigan program after one week.
03:19I mean, it doesn't bode well.
03:20It's going to be hard to rally for that.
03:21The Olympics aren't they used to it?
03:23Harbaugh won a national championship there.
03:25And then you find out that there was cheating.
03:28Then the next head coach has an affair, whatever, and is like threatening to kill it.
03:34Like, I don't even remember all the details.
03:36He broke into her apartment.
03:37Yeah.
03:37Yeah.
03:38I mean.
03:39A lot of nonsense.
03:39Went to court.
03:41Sherron Moore, right?
03:42Yes.
03:42Yeah.
03:43So, that was a disaster.
03:45And now they got Willingham from Utah.
03:50Whittingham.
03:51Whittingham.
03:53And, hey, it's a dub.
03:55They're one and a half.
03:56Just done bode well.
03:56You don't feel good about it, though.
03:57No.
03:58Done bode well.
03:58No.
03:59You cannot feel good about that.
04:00They're doomed.
04:01I would say they're doomed.
04:03I doubt they'll be able to plug all their leaks.
04:05But, in terms of how the clocks aren't synced, you know, obviously, they don't show you what
04:13clock they're using, but that ball was 20 feet, 30 feet above the defender's arms before
04:21he caught it when it hit zeros.
04:23So, they clearly weren't using that clock.
04:25The Western Michigan president said after talking to the Big Ten commissioner that it
04:31was a known discrepancy between the TV clock and the replay of Center Clock, and he found
04:38nothing, quote, unfair or untoward.
04:41I mean, Western Michigan, they handled it with a lot of grace and class.
04:45I felt bad for those kids.
04:46For being in the position they were in, thinking they had a win.
04:48Think if you're a student at Western Michigan.
04:51That's going to be the highlight of probably your four or four and a half, five years, however
04:56long you're in school.
04:58You're this close to pulling off the upset.
04:59To beating Michigan, that's going to be the crowning achievement for any sporting event
05:06that happens while you're there.
05:07That's like the Maryland game where Piggy blew it at the end.
05:10Piggy overthrew the guy.
05:11And it makes you wonder if Piggy missed the guy wide open in the end zone by like three
05:16or four.
05:16It makes you wonder if you're watching any game, if it's NBC or Fox or CBS or ESPN, if
05:22that clock is synced up to what the actual conference is using.
05:26You would assume no.
05:27You would assume no.
05:28They got to figure that out.
05:30I'd still like to see it to believe it.
05:31If Piggy had completed that pass, Urban Meyer would no longer be with us.
05:35He never would have coached in the pros.
05:37He would have stroked out.
05:37Because remember, they were showing shots of him on the sidelines throughout that game.
05:41It was stress.
05:42It looked like he needed to be loaded into an ambulance.
05:45Because he couldn't believe they were about to drop a game to the Terps in College Park.
05:49And it was so close.
05:51That would have been so great.
05:51Well, this was so close.
05:53What I'd say for Western Michigan, though, stop the Hail Mary the second time.
05:58I mean, it sucks.
06:00It sucks.
06:00And it does feel like he got hosed.
06:02Yeah.
06:02But for people that believe it's a conspiracy to hook up Michigan, well, Michigan still had to complete the Hail
06:09Mary.
06:09Yeah, but they gave him a shot.
06:11Gave him a shot.
06:12And it's very rare to complete a Hail Mary.
06:14It looks like a conspiracy on paper, but it wasn't.
06:16Because, like you said, it's one second.
06:18And they've got to throw a 50-yard Hail Mary.
06:21But for whatever reason, they don't use NBC's clock.
06:24And it's a full second off.
06:26It's crazy.
06:28Is Bryce Underwood garbage?
06:31He was on Saturday.
06:32Is he just bad?
06:34It might be a bad NIL deal that might be going the wrong way.
06:38Making a lot of money.
06:39Making a ton of money.
06:39Making a lot of dough.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Sometimes high school quarterbacks don't develop into great college quarterbacks.
06:45It happens all the time.
06:46Much like great college quarterbacks don't always develop into great NFL quarterbacks.
06:49Is this Underwood's second year in Michigan?
06:52He's got to be making, what, at least $5 million to $7 million?
06:54Or is he making more than that?
06:55I don't know.
06:56I don't know if it's been disclosed, but it's a lot of money.
06:59It's in that realm, right?
06:59It's got to be.
07:00If the kid in Maryland's making like $5 million, he's got to be making at least something like that.
07:07So he's going to, you know, let's just say, plays one more year in college.
07:11He's going to make $15, $20 million.
07:12Easy.
07:13You need to play in the NFL.
07:14Well, if he keeps putting up butt numbers, he ain't going to be making that much next year.
07:18I mean, I see an article here where it says it's reported a $12 million NIL deal.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Think about that.
07:23That guy's going to be worth $30 million by the time he enters the draft.
07:27That sounds like a lot.
07:28I'm not sure if that's it.
07:29That might be true, dude.
07:31Isn't Dave Portnoy from Barstool like footing some of the bill?
07:35He might be.
07:36He might want some back.
07:37He might be on the hook for some of that.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Well, it's just unbelievable for the kids.
07:43I've never been a bigger Oklahoma Sooner fan than this week.
07:46Yeah.
07:48What's the line on that game?
07:50Let me see.
07:51Let me see if that's out.
07:53So which big ones fall out of the top 20 after opening weekend, Jason?
08:00Which college football schools?
08:01How many teams have fallen out?
08:03Well, just like any big ones.
08:05I don't think there were.
08:07Most of the ranked teams all won.
08:08I guess Florida State was expected to lose.
08:10Oklahoma's a five-and-a-half-point favorite at Michigan.
08:13Okay.
08:14Yeah.
08:15And that's Matier's back.
08:17I'll tell you who's going to fall out is Michigan ranked at 16.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Besides them.
08:21They're probably going to fall either to like 25 or completely fall out.
08:24Yeah.
08:25After that performance.
08:26I would guess.
08:27And Oklahoma's not ranked?
08:28Oklahoma's ranked 10.
08:29Oh, they're going to smoke them.
08:31I hope so.
08:32I would think.
08:34But, yeah, I mean, it's week one.
08:36A lot of these big teams are playing a bunch of nobodies.
08:38So it starts to get more interesting this week with a couple of big matches.
08:42Ohio State-Texas.
08:43I mean, that's a big one.
08:44That's a massive matchup.
08:46It's a big one at Texas.
08:47Meg was visiting her girlfriend, one of her teammates, in Austin.
08:52And she went to that Texas game.
08:54Okay.
08:54Texas-Texas State?
08:55Yeah.
08:56And I don't know what the score was.
08:57What was the score?
08:58Was it just a blowout?
08:58It was a lot to a little.
09:00Arch had four touchdowns.
09:02I don't know the exact score off the top of my head.
09:03But Arch didn't get great reviews, right?
09:05Hidden interception.
09:06Yeah.
09:06I saw somewhere where he was disappointed in his outing or something.
09:10But, obviously, going to a Texas football game, even if it's just against Texas Tech
09:14or whoever the hell they played, Texas State, I mean, it's nothing like Ivy League football,
09:21right?
09:21So that was a hell of an experience.
09:23Way different.
09:24Yeah.
09:25It was 59-7 was your final score there.
09:28Right.
09:28Yeah.
09:2959-7, right.
09:30And Arch talked about, and I'm not saying it was a look-ahead, but he talked about this
09:34game against Ohio State because he was not good last year against Ohio State.
09:39So he wants to play really, really well, and we'll see what happens.
09:43But, man, that Michigan game, that was hard to watch.
09:46That was very hard to watch the ending of that game.
09:50Yeah, especially if you're a Western Michigan fan.
09:53You think you've, you're David Topples Goliath, and they put an extra second back.
09:58You just, by the way, you just know when the extra second's put back.
10:01You're doomed.
10:02You have to know you're doomed.
10:03You know you're doomed.
10:03Even though it's, I mean, the chances of converting on a Hail Mary have to be under
10:0810%, right?
10:09It's right around 10%, actually.
10:10Like, you just know that you're going to go down at that point.
10:14Crazy it's even that high.
10:15I mean, that's what I would be thinking.
10:17If I was rooting for the team that I thought it just won, and then the other team gets
10:20a crack at it, I definitely think the other team's going to, like, convert it.
10:27But you still, when you know they've got one more shot, it's one second.
10:31I know you've got about seven guys back there.
10:34You've got to somehow get your hand on the ball and knock it down.
10:36You just got to do it.
10:37Knock it down!
10:38I understand, but it's just, it's college football for you, man.
10:42It's crazy.
10:42Yep.
10:43Wild week one in college football.
10:46Coming up later on the show, Ryan Wilson will join us at 8.
10:49We'll talk NFL with him.
10:50Week one is right around the corner.
10:52It starts tomorrow.
10:53Don't forget, we also have a big announcement, a Junkies show announcement coming up at 7.45.
11:00When we come back, we will hit the skins as the commanders prep to play the Eagles in week
11:05one.
