00:00Oh boy, the legs on this thing, man. And would you believe that Western Michigan, should they take this to
00:06court, might not be the only school in court, right? So all of that said, it is time for us
00:13to get to, can we say that?
00:27Oh, it's funny that you say that, Mark. Was it Marcus? Please don't do that to me. Marcus? Oh, please.
00:34Okay. We just found my weak spot. Okay. Let's go with this. No.
00:38Oh, can we say that the SEC appears to have more control than the Big Ten, whereas the SEC is
00:48trying to make sure LSU toes the line and the Big Ten is trying to basically tell you, don't believe
00:55what you actually saw.
00:56Yeah, like the Big Ten will stop at nothing to protect their golden gooses, of which Michigan is one. The
01:03SEC doesn't give a damn if your goose is golden.
01:07They're coming after you if you violate what they think college football should be. This is interesting to me, Rico,
01:14because LSU did, in fact, not play the players. So what would they be expelled for exactly?
01:22I think LSU would be expelled, and I don't think they want to expel them. I think they just want
01:27to let them know that we legally can turn this car around and go home. It's like your parents. Mark,
01:33if you don't stop, quit acting up. I will turn this car around.
01:36Well, that's what the SEC is doing.
01:37Do you have any idea how many times they turn the car around on me?
01:40None. Probably.
01:42Too many to count?
01:43Okay, Marcus.
01:46So what happens now is if you're LSU, you didn't need them, but I think LSU went out and they
01:53are saying you were actively recruiting players.
01:56You weren't supposed to do that, and LSU has said, look, we're going to keep doing what we do until
02:01there's a rule that says we can't.
02:02We're going to keep doing this, but they're trying to make sure there is a rule.
02:05So like you said, they aren't trying to protect their team.
02:08They're trying to threaten their team, whereas the Big Ten is doing everything they can to protect their Golden Goose.
02:13I'm in the business of drama and chaos.
02:15This is perfect.
02:17I don't have any disdain towards LSU and how they handle their business.
02:21Do what you want.
02:22It's the Wild West for college athletics.
02:23I would like to see them expelled because I just want to see the aftermath of something like that.
02:29I agree with Marcus.
02:32Oh, God.
02:33I can't get away from this.
02:35I guess they are clearly in more control than the Big Ten.
02:39And what they're actually going to be voting on is lack of institutional control.
02:44I think we know that phrase around here a lot.
02:48So that's really what they're voting on, not necessarily that they played them.
02:52So but they're in more control for sure.
02:54And it's it's funny how LSU has a chance here.
02:57I know they have other teams, but LSU has a real chance here to go a long way.
03:01They're like, doesn't matter to me if we vote you out.
03:04Doesn't matter.
03:04We don't want it.
03:05They're one of the best teams in college football.
03:06But what's going on now is a pissing contest between.
03:10OK, you got a Louisiana judge, probably an LSU fan that says this.
03:14These pro players are cool.
03:15OK, how about this flex?
03:17You're no longer in the league.
03:18Pissing contest.
03:20That's where we are now.
03:21Can speaking with LSU.
03:23Let's stay right there.
03:24Can we say that LSU is a top three team in college football?
03:30Definitively.
03:31Oh, my God.
03:33They didn't gain 500 yards of offense on Clemson.
03:36They outgained Clemson by 500 yards.
03:40That looked like it was LSU against Western Clemson State, not the Clemson Tigers that played them for the national
03:48championship a few years ago.
03:50So, my God, what money can buy the only 50 million dollar payroll in all of college football?
03:56Yes, they might be the best team in college football.
03:59I don't know about best.
04:01I would like to see a little bit more.
04:02But top three, most definitely.
04:04That is a ridiculously good team.
04:07And I thought Clemson, as much as I don't like them in Dabo, I thought they would at least throw
04:10a couple punches.
04:11No, not at all.
04:12They got taken to church that night.
04:14I don't know if I can say top three yet.
04:16They did play Clemson.
04:18I mean, that's like playing Western Michigan.
04:19So, I can't really say that yet.
04:22Oh, man.
04:23No, I think Western would beat Clemson.
04:25I think you're right.
04:28Can we say that this game that's coming up this weekend with Ohio State and Texas could be a preview
04:35of the national title game?
04:37No.
04:38No, because Sark gets less out of Moore every single year.
04:42He takes all those Texas resources and he flushes them right down the out to Toilet.
04:49Yeah, I agree with Marcus on this one right here.
04:52I don't see that being the national championship game.
04:55Now, could we say it would be a playoff game?
05:00Maybe.
05:00But for all the marbles, not at all.
05:02I think it is a preview of the championship game.
05:05Yes, these are two of the top teams in college football.
05:09So, yes, this is a preview coming up this Saturday.
05:12Have you not been paying attention to what Texas does every year?
05:16They Texas all over themselves, David.
05:22All right.
05:23You want a controversial one, guys?
05:26Can we say that if you stretch this out long term, MSU hired the better coach over Michigan?
05:36No, you can't.
05:38I can't believe that MSU actually hired the coach they did could end up working out.
05:45They're both the same style of coach, discipline, physical, run football first.
05:50I think Kyle Whittingham is the class of that kind of coach.
05:56What do you say, though?
05:58Well, I don't want to poison the jury.
06:00I would say, yes, I do think that in the long term, MSU could come out with having the better
06:05coach between Pat Fitzgerald and Kyle Whittingham.
06:08Having watched both games, I really liked what Michigan State was doing.
06:12Yes, there's a lot of flaws, but they'll work over time.
06:15Whereas with Michigan, the expectations are now.
06:18Whereas Michigan State, they're playing for down the road.
06:20No, I don't think that Michigan State hired the better coach.
06:24I do think Michigan did hire the better coach.
06:28I do think he may be in over his head, though, because of everything that is required and the thought
06:34of what is needed at Michigan.
06:35That's the only problem.
06:37But he is.
06:38No, Fitzgerald's not better.
06:40See, I look at it as Fitzgerald doesn't have all the halves.
06:43Kyle right now has all the players and is struggling right now.
06:48He may be a fish out of water.
06:50Where, Mark, it could be both things being true.
06:53He's the great coach, but just in the wrong system.
06:58Like, certain coaches just can't go to certain teams and expect it to happen.
07:02You're going against tradition, and that's where you end up losing your way.
07:06Whereas Fitzgerald understands the Big Ten.
07:09He's from the Big Ten.
07:10He knows everything about it, and he knows that type of thinking and mentality.
07:14I'm waiting to see what happens when, you know, Whittingham goes up against Iowa for his first test of a
07:21true Big Ten type of team.
07:22So, this is a bonus.
07:26It's not necessarily a can we say.
07:30Bigger embarrassment.
07:33Saturday night, end of the game at the Big House, or last night, Florida State not being able to turn
07:43on the lights for an hour and a half.
07:46The NIL costs.
07:47No power.
07:48That's what happens with NIL.
07:49You've appropriated too much money to the players.
07:52I was like, wait, is it raining?
07:54No.
07:55They just didn't have power.
07:57Nothing.
07:57No lights.
07:58Hour and a half.
08:00No helmet communication.
08:01No internet.
08:03Nothing.
08:05I don't know what was more embarrassing between the two.
08:08As a Gator grad, do you have any idea how much I loved that whole scene?
08:12Like, it's just the jokes write themselves, don't they?
08:15Yeah, I was sitting there scratching.
08:18So, they're in the dark because, like, did somebody accidentally turn the lights out?
08:24Like, is this like a Vegas, I mean, a Christmas vacation movie?
08:27Remember that happened in the Super Bowl?
08:28Yeah.
08:29Allegedly, someone hit a power box with their car.
08:32Is that what happened?
08:33And it was very near.
08:33I saw a photo on Twitter, and you see people outside assessing the situation, and in the background is just
08:39the dark stadium.
08:40Late to the game.
08:41Now, you guys should know that all of us in this business, we've had to stall at some points.
08:46We've never had a camera on us needing to stall for two and a half hours before not knowing what
08:52we're supposed to talk about.
08:53That's a nightmare.
08:54Like, cut away and show something else.
08:56Like, go back to the studio.
08:58These people out here sweating literally and figuratively as they ran out of material.
09:04They're showing people signing autographs.
09:07Did you see the beads of sweat on the host's head?
09:09I got nothing else to say.
09:10What are we supposed to do?
09:12Yeah, I did feel bad.
09:14Can we say it may have been a little too early for Miami wide receiver Malachi Tony to hit the
09:20Heisman pose after his touchdowns?
09:24Yeah, really too early.
09:25And I don't need the whole Heisman watch after week one, thank you very much, for the same reason we
09:31don't need a poll until October.
09:33So, I understand.
09:35Very few players look like men amongst boys at this level.
09:38And those who do, the last one was Brock Bowers.
09:41You see what he's doing at the NFL level.
09:43He's incredible.
09:44There is no defense for him.
09:46The arrogance is a real put-off to me.
09:50Way, way too early.
09:51In my opinion, the Heisman pose moment begins midway through the season when you want to start campaigning, being like,
09:56look at the resume I have now.
09:58Kudos to him.
09:59Great player.
10:00But, yeah, way too early.
10:02It was too early, but when you look at their schedule, they have no one on it, except Notre Dame,
10:07and there's no guarantee they win that game.
10:09So, he may not get a chance to do the Heisman moment other than the first week of the year.
10:14So, go ahead, do it.
10:16Can we say Michigan will win seven or less games this year?
10:22Oh, yeah.
10:23Like, you consider who's on that schedule?
10:25Yeah, absolutely.
10:27Absolutely seven or less games this year.
10:29And they luck out because a lot of their harder games are at home until the end of the season.
10:36But I'm not sure how many of the Iowas and the Oklahomas and the Penn States are winnable at this
10:41point.
10:42Yeah, I agree.
10:43I think seven, going into the season, I thought maybe they can get eight, maybe nine wins at best.
10:48But after this first game against Western, PU, seven would be very generous.
10:53I'm going to let it play out.
10:55Okay, John.
10:56No, your sources are great, I'm sure.
11:00I'm going to say, yeah, right now, less than seven, for sure.
11:04I'm going to let it play out.
11:05Here's another bonus, because young Corbin and I had this conversation pre-show.
11:12It's not a can we say, but if LSU gets kicked out of the SEC, should the Big Ten add
11:20LSU?
11:23Absolutely not.
11:25Listen, at least gaslight everybody into thinking that morals and values and academics matter to you.
11:33LSU is the epitome of juvenile behavior, indiscretion, bottom of the barrel.
11:41True story, Rico.
11:42I got a cup of bodily fluid dumped on my head at an LSU football game.
11:47That's all we need to hear.
11:48Corbin, what do you say?
11:49I mean, we're talking about the conference now who's pulling magic clocks out of their behind.
11:53So, yeah, listen here.
11:54I just think in the land, because my thought process was in the landscape of how college football is, Big
11:58Ten, SEC, they want to be the top two.
12:00But obviously, one wants to be the best.
12:02Just when a powerhouse like LSU comes out there, all drama aside, I think the Big Ten would definitely take
12:07some flyers out on them.
12:09No, we don't need to do that.
12:12Corbin, I'm going to tell you this.
12:13You don't need to add LSU.
12:15I'll put your young man.
12:18Don't date the hot chick who's crazy, who's burned down her ex-boyfriend's houses before.
12:26If LSU doesn't get expelled, do we put this on the board?
12:28Because I truly think it'll happen.
12:30You're not taking LSU because she will burn down your house as well.
12:35Okay?
12:36What about Michigan?
12:37What has Michigan done for the conference?
12:41LSU, they're an embarrassment.
12:43Trust me.
12:44You don't want that to happen.
12:45They moon oncoming buses.
12:48They moon them.
12:49Bruh, you don't want LSU.
12:51Will Wade, come on.
12:5397-1.
