Transcript
00:01on a Tuesday that feels like a Monday good morning 97-1 Jim Costa John Jansen
00:08Gov and Greg behind the glass Tuesdays mean two grand slam today it means overreact Jim's crazy
00:15weekend to talk about and Greg Hargrave will take us on campus for all the college football
00:20storylines at 635 good morning John good morning I'd feel pretty much like a Tuesday I don't know
00:26what you're talking about you were here yesterday mr. vacation working all weekend man come on I
00:34enjoyed the extended weekend I am I'm sure you did ready to roll today it's all back now the NFL's
00:40tomorrow I know Lions got a game week we got college stuff to talk about did anyone hear Kyle
00:46Shanahan try and describe how they're operating over in Australia the time zones that what day it is and
00:55how they're trying to sync it up with what day it normally is in terms of their preparation
00:59if you can figure out what he's talking about because if you slow it down and you do the math
01:06on paper he's right but he's trying to talk about you know hey it's it's it's a it's a Thursday
01:14we
01:14got here on a Wednesday but it's really only a Tuesday and we play on Sunday but no we play
01:19on Thursday it was bizarre to think that they are right now in tomorrow already they're in
01:27tomorrow land and it's still only six o'clock in the morning did you see Raheem Morris had a
01:32birthday during all this they skipped his birthday they were flying so tomorrow Adam Schefter points
01:39out Raheem Morris turned 50 years old on Thursday September 3rd it happened to be the day the 49ers
01:45flew to Australia leaving Wednesday night September 2nd and arriving Friday morning September 4th
01:50he lost today his birthday his 50th
01:56that's hilarious it's such a bizarre like I still can't believe that they're all the way over there
02:02but look after we we don't care no no we're gonna turn to TV on Thursday night and what hopefully
02:08watch great football Wednesday night too well yeah I'm but this game is gonna be Thursday but
02:12yes we will get a chance to watch Wednesday night Thursday night we'll have college football Friday
02:16Saturday NFL Sunday like this is this may be the the I know we always debate like what's the greatest
02:23weekend of especially for college football is it you know is it rivalry weekend Thanksgiving weekend
02:28because we got all the games I think this this is the two weeks of ultimate football where you have
02:37football Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday because Labor Day weekend and it's it's week one of college
02:42football you only don't have football on Tuesday which is where we are today just to make sure that you
02:47are familiar that this is Tuesday not a Monday and then Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
02:53Monday we have football every single day it's amazing so good morning and welcome back football and
03:04it's fitting that we got a little bit of a tangent with the Niners and the concept of time yes
03:08because the
03:09concept of time felt fleeting on Saturday night and so the saying used to be Michigan doesn't lose
03:14they just run out of time and now they they get to add time so what I want to start
03:20the show with is
03:21this I don't expect a single Michigan fan to apologize you don't apologize for winning Michigan that put the
03:27second on no no but I I think as a fan you can own you got a gift it feels
03:31kind of gross and dirty but
03:33I'm not asking you to apologize for your win you you are want to know but it it should feel
03:38gross to
03:38win that way right uh yes it feels gross to play that way is how I'll I'll I'll phrase it
03:45it feels
03:45gross to have played that way when all we've heard about is well uh Bryce Underwood you know hey Jordan
03:54Palmer Coy Detmer Jason Beck Kyle Whittingham like all these you know we're hearing about all the work that
04:02he's put in and then that's what we see and he wasn't alone I talked about the offensive line
04:08and I am shocked as to the way that they played I expect it to get better because of the
04:16experience
04:17they have uh up front but I I I've got no explanation everybody's asking why did they play that way
04:23oh I mean it's it's it's it's it's shocking thankfully the defense only allowed field goals
04:33there are some bright spots defensively save the 13 minute and 40 second 20 play drive that only
04:41ended in a field goal but and credit I I tried to get this point across yesterday there are reasons
04:48why a team plays bad one of them is poor performance the other one is the team on the other
04:55side plays extremely well and they have a game plan that they execute to a tee now there were no
05:03big
05:03plays there was no 20 plus yard plays by western Michigan but when they needed six yards they got
05:11six and a half when they needed two yards they got three and a half there was only one time
05:16it was
05:16third and 14 where they got 14 and a half and it's just like they executed a great game plan
05:24and those players played their butts off so yes it's gross that the way Michigan played it's gross the
05:33way that it ended and it just is it's bizarre well because you just know where I'm coming from I
05:41want
05:41western to lose every football game they play until the end of time the idea that they got hosed would
05:47normally be something I would laugh at and take great glee and great joy in but it just didn't sit
05:53right with me watching triple zeros on the clock and hours later the flimsy explanation from the big
05:5810 where even in their own release they say the broadcast clock is synced and the rules analyst is
06:04saying I'm told our clock is synced and the clock shows zero yet Michigan gets that extra play and I
06:10don't
06:11think it would have worked the same if the shoe was on the other foot so it just doesn't sit
06:14right
06:15with you when you watch the end of that game I would get on western's behalf I can't even believe
06:21I'm saying this I felt bad for them hold on oh you got the drop no no it's coming it's
06:28coming
06:34it because Greg we need to have that one on the ready all day long you'll notice it's not even
06:40on
06:40my wall I don't even want the option to play it but you will make sure it's available today
06:45I just believe in right and wrong and that felt wrong what I watched on Saturday night felt wrong
06:50Michigan got an extra second added from a clock that nobody else uses that no one else knew about
06:57the magic secret clock right and it's so now what we've got three clocks it's the clock on the
07:04field it's the clock on the broadcast but the official clock is held by the big 10 and and the
07:15replay
07:15officials like I I just I can't believe that that happened and I said this I was last night I
07:26was on
07:26doing some shows on the west coast um and was asked if you know like and just before that
07:35um I had said no matter how this ends even if there's a miracle it's not how you want to
07:40start
07:41a new era in Ann Arbor oh no I mean look and I think the absolute worst scenario did happen
07:49it would
07:50have been bad if Michigan lost like then you start thinking about App State you start thinking about
07:55Toledo you start thinking about all of the you know trouble with the staff all the things that
07:59have gone wrong over the years you start thinking about that but it lasts for about 18 hours I don't
08:06even know if it lasts for 24 hours locally here it'll it'll live on but nationally everybody moves on
08:11and says oh Michigan's 0-1-1 what are they going to do against Oklahoma uh you know probably get
08:15their
08:15brains beat in but you move on you're saying if this drew extra attention to their lousy performance
08:20if if if they lose we talk about it yesterday Stoney and I and then this morning we talk about
08:27it but we don't talk about it for four hours we're coming up with something else in terms of well
08:33hey
08:33the Lions don't have a punt returner oh who's going to be RB2 like all of these different things
08:38but the fact that they lost or they won that way extends the conversation not just for a day
08:48but it's going to be all college football season long and then everybody's going to be brought to
08:54well how were they even in that position against Western Michigan oh wait let's look at the film
08:59let's watch the highlights and then let's watch them rush the field after beating Western Michigan
09:05embarrassing like it just it prolongs the agony and Doug and I were talking about it on the broadcast
09:12is you know we didn't think that there was any chance because we were watching the same thing
09:16everyone else was watching we're watching the the national broadcast that's what is on the monitors
09:22in our studio or our broadcast booth and all I kept saying was
09:30this is just like rubbing salt in the wound because we thought it was done and Michigan had lost to
09:38Western Michigan and if anyone else had just stepped away from the game you probably got the notification
09:45that Michigan lost and so as soon as that ball was incomplete everyone CBS Sports EBSPN ABC NBC oh
09:53they all send out the notification Michigan lost my mother-in-law called me and said or text me
09:57I'm so sorry I'm like well it's technically not done we're still living in this misery because
10:02they're reviewing the final play and I told Doug I'm like this is this is awful they're just extending
10:07our misery just to tell us the inevitable that Michigan lost and then wait let's put a second
10:15back on the clock let's try that one again let's see if Bryce Underwood didn't learn from the Texas
10:23game because trying to come back in that one and he threw the ball four four yards out of bounds
10:27on every single you know throw down the field this time hey you're trying to win the game but he
10:32throws the ball out of the back of the end zone doesn't give any receiver or defender a chance
10:37to catch the ball right let's do it again do over well that's part of the dynamic dynamic too is
10:43the
10:44big block M brand gets a do-over where the little guy who thinks they won and zeros are on
10:49the clock
10:49right again but and I know everybody wants to put this on Michigan and when you have the reputation
10:55that you have that's also why this continues to be a terrible story
11:02yeah look I'm not doing Michigan cheated but Michigan was the beneficiary here they got a gift
11:07no but Michigan did cheat and then as soon as something like this comes up instead of being
11:12the villain being the big 10 it's Michigan because oh well of course Michigan gets the extra second they
11:18must have paid some money they must have done something they must you know it's that when you when
11:22your reputation is that your reputation follows you that's why I tell my kids all the time when
11:27you do something it's going to follow you the rest of your life text flooding in phone calls already
11:34showing up we'll take those calls next talk about that result the ending Saturday night it's 97 one
