00:00Good afternoon. All right. Hold on. Jeremy Otto did it again, Rico. I don't even know your thunder. No, no,
00:06no, no, no.
00:06You've added immense value because your updates are good. Oh, you didn't know that. I was unaware of Bryce Underwood
00:13saying something stupid again.
00:16This is becoming quite a trend. Hold on. Now, obviously, you were not invited to the media preview.
00:23It caused him the way that Jeremy Otto was. So Jeremy is dressed for success.
00:27I'm adding a tie later and a soup code, just so you know. It's not the full kid.
00:31I got to tell you, I'm pumped. I'm just here, man. Hold on. Can you, not an update voice, can
00:38you just reread what you just read to Rico?
00:41Yeah. Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood was asked about Kyle Whittingham's comments that his spot as the starting QB wasn't infinite.
00:47Underwood said, quote, that's cool. I didn't see that, unquote. They asked him a follow-up and he would not
00:53comment.
00:56Maybe they have a secret locker room, Mike, that Bryce doesn't know.
01:01Wouldn't it just be easier to say, I know I have to improve or like, I got to raise my
01:08game.
01:09I respect the hell out of coach and I understand it. I have to be better. Let's go be better
01:13Saturday.
01:14No, but that's what an intelligent person would say. Bryce is not smart.
01:17Why do you think he can't play the position? Not smart. Can't process. Often says stupid stuff. Not smart.
01:26The easiest thing to do is, guys, I can't blame him. You saw my performance. I have to do better.
01:32I bench me. Something. I got to do better. I got bailed out on that final play.
01:38But hey, he's got a sweet mouthpiece that says battle on it.
01:41That's an NIO package. I found that out. Oh, baby.
01:46That's why he never puts it in. I'm not sure this really helps his cause either.
01:50Well, it doesn't help John Janssen's either. All right. So where would you like to start?
01:55Because I was not here as you were hosting with Marcus Ryan.
02:01Marcus. How about that? I heard that.
02:04Dude, hellscape. Getting back from the airport yesterday. Rico, no roads work.
02:12Marcus Ryan. I heard you busted his balls. He knew he stepped in and admitting that.
02:17I was just like, wait, is your name Marcus? Oh, boy.
02:23Uh-oh. Don't go down that road. And here we are.
02:26Buddy, we're already on it doing 55. Here we are.
02:28Well, how do you want to approach it? Because, I mean, obviously, look, I'm not.
02:32I want to be careful choosing my words.
02:34I'm not overly interested in re-adjudging clock gate.
02:38Like, anyone with a brain knows what happened.
02:41I have two alternate takes I could give you.
02:44We could just end clock gate right here, right now.
02:49The NCAA last night.
02:52Who are you?
02:53Came out with a new rule.
02:54There's a new policy.
02:56Okay.
02:56NCAA, under the new policy, which directs replay officials to use the official clock embedded in the broadcast, the game
03:06would have been over after the first Hail Mary attempt.
03:09We know that.
03:11The Broncos would have gotten the biggest win in program history.
03:14So, NCAA is saying what Mike Pereira said.
03:18What anyone with a functioning brain says.
03:20So, that excludes about a third of Michigan fans.
03:23So, they weren't arguing tenths of a second.
03:26They weren't arguing over some ridiculous thing that came out two hours later that.
03:31Oh, you mean the John Fanta hostage video?
03:33No, no, no.
03:34That was hot.
03:35No, that was the next day.
03:36No, I'm talking one o'clock that morning.
03:39The next day.
03:40Nothing better than Fanta's grill three inches from the camera with a gun pointed at his temple.
03:45Say it.
03:45Say it like we wrote it.
03:46The official policy of the...
03:51Dude, I laughed at the whole thing because the sport is WWE.
03:56If you truly are passionate about this sport, you're just low intellect.
03:59I can't help you.
04:00It's a clown car.
04:01And the Big Ten is now worse than the SEC.
04:05At least the SEC was like, you know what?
04:07LSU, you're doing something we don't like.
04:09We're going to vote to kick your ass out.
04:11Right, but I'm LSU.
04:11You can't vote me out.
04:13Cut scene.
04:14They didn't add the two players.
04:15They filled it with two warm bodies, and now they won't get voted on in the damn league.
04:20The Big Ten openly lied.
04:21Who are we kidding?
04:22They could have just said, made a mistake.
04:24Don't tell me there's a super double probation clock.
04:28Cut it out.
04:28The clock said zero.
04:29The fact that that was even a situation, you see it already, by the way.
04:33Michigan winning, they dropped out of the top 25.
04:36The largest drop for a win in the history of the poll.
04:40You know what else it does?
04:41I tell you, Michigan fan right now, you better go 11-1.
04:44Sean, you're not getting in at 10-2, because 10-2 is 9-3.
04:48And that's what people like Sagarin are telling you.
04:53Well, the flip side to that coin, that's why the Mac said, wait, reverse pivot here.
04:59We're actually, we want that win back.
05:01Why?
05:01Because they know, if Western now goes 11-1.
05:06They go to the playoff.
05:06It's really 12-0.
05:08Oh, no.
05:08You guys saw that game.
05:10We won that game.
05:11Does that mean Doug won't make him champ of the week?
05:14No, Western, the Mac took the high road.
05:17He took, Western and the coach took the high road, so that's how they got.
05:20I don't know why they did.
05:22If I were Lance Taylor, I would have taken a dump on the field.
05:25There's no way I would have ransacked the place.
05:28Has taking the high road ever really worked for the people who get spat on?
05:34No, you just end up in the weird chair in the hotel room.
05:37And then Falwell's pool boy goes to town.
05:40I mean, that's, there's just, there's no way.
05:43Look, man, just flip, flip, flip the script.
05:47If Western's throwing the Hail Mary in the big house, they put in a second on that clock?
05:51No, come on now.
05:52Just like they wouldn't have missed the face mask or wouldn't have missed the running into
05:55the kicker or wouldn't have adjusted the clock twice.
05:58Like, come on, just, we know what's going on.
06:00The network's run the sport.
06:01Michigan's a power brand to make a ton of money.
06:04The network wanted to give them every opportunity to pull a miracle.
06:07And then yeah, Western went brain dead on a play that shouldn't have counted.
06:09I didn't like what they did bringing five in the whole bit, but who cares?
06:13The whole thing I want to listen through the Hail Mary and it didn't work.
06:16Game's over.
06:17The fans would have rushed to field after the first Hail Mary.
06:20Well, that's the other thing.
06:21I do want to congratulate Michigan on one thing.
06:23You've pulled off quite a feat.
06:25You are now everything you hated.
06:28You, you, you, you do realize like you don't have to care that no one likes you.
06:33That's totally okay.
06:34You're a power brand.
06:36Nobody likes you or likes Ohio state or likes Notre Dame that that's earned because you win.
06:40But here's your problem.
06:41No one respects you.
06:43And the only thing you're associated with is cheating and scandal.
06:46I want to congratulate you.
06:48That's an unbelievable heel turn because you used to be on this pedestal of we are better
06:54than all.
06:54And now, like if that happened to anybody, it's one thing for it to happen to U of M.
07:02It writes itself.
07:04So look, I can laugh at it because I don't take the sport seriously.
07:07Just like I don't take men and leotards running around a square ring.
07:11Seriously, it's the WWE, the networks run the sport.
07:16It's a clown car.
07:17All of it.
07:18All of it.
07:19But the Big Ten is filth.
07:21We know this.
07:22Also, shout out the SEC doing what the Big Ten never had the balls to do because, again,
07:27the Big Ten hired a lackey as their commissioner.
07:30Tony Petiti's a Fox executive.
07:32Was.
07:33Where was the Big Ten?
07:34They should have just voted Michigan's ass out in the middle of the cheating.
07:38But Fox runs the network.
07:40Well, the fact that the SEC went after one of their big boy schools.
07:43They didn't go after Vandy.
07:44That wasn't Mississippi State.
07:47Correct.
07:47That wasn't anything like that.
07:49They went after the plums, man.
07:51They went after a full peach basket.
07:55Okay, guys.
07:56We're not going to keep playing this he says, she said stuff.
08:00You're going to play cute games with us?
08:02You're going to play stupid games?
08:03You're about to win a stupid prize.
08:04Yeah.
08:04But, no, I just, look, I'm more interested in football stuff.
08:09I mean, Western won the game.
08:11I know that.
08:11But Michigan got punished.
08:13This is not going to go away.
08:16And I think you're going to have a hard time putting them in the playoff south of 11-1.
08:20Like, if you go 10-2, this is going to be a major question because, honestly,
08:24they treated you like you lost the game.
08:26You don't fall out of the top 25 for winning.
08:29Everyone in America with a brain.
08:31And as I said, I think two-thirds of Michigan fans have functioning brains.
08:34I think a third of them, I pray you're sterile.
08:37Because I don't want you bringing kids into this world because you're morons.
08:40Buddy, let me stop you right here.
08:42You just stopped attending, too.
08:43Because I don't think that's going to happen.
08:45Well, I want to be fair.
08:46You know, the ball club, a big win.
08:49Let me stop you right there.
08:51That's cute.
08:52That's so cute.
08:53Western went out there.
08:54They should have been wearing Army uniforms.
08:56They were going on, like, 17-minute drives.
08:58But I just, I think the thing I'm most interested in is what we were talking about in the spring
09:06and what we were talking about before the season.
09:10And the hilarious backpedal from Jansen is just delicious.
09:15It's fabulous.
09:17Because either his sources suck or he sits on information he has because he's bought.
09:21Either way, if Tommy Carr plays, Rico's showing up nude.
09:28Nude.
09:29Just wearing a cravat like Prince.
09:33You are showing up to do the morning show nude with John.
09:38Well, you're about to see Rico naked if you're John.
09:41Guys, I thought I'd bring you some donuts.
09:43Yeah, here's some punchkis.
09:45And a garden hose.
09:47All right.
09:47So, no, I just, I'm fascinated by Whittingham's comment.
09:53I'm fascinated by the heel turn by the same people who bitched and moaned at us.
09:59Where it's like, guys, all we were saying is this backup is more capable than you realize.
10:04And that Bryce, if he comes out and plays poorly, no, this isn't going to be, you know, bulletproof.
10:12Now, that spun into ad hominem attacks, which is fine.
10:16But the whole point is, okay, Bryce lost to Western Michigan.
10:21Like, let's just be on even terms.
10:23His brooding after the game was the only thing sadder than rushing the field as 30-point favorites.
10:28That's like handing yourself a ward that you didn't wrap your car around a tree.
10:34Honey, I'm home.
10:35And then there's like a jazz band and party poppers.
10:39What are you doing?
10:40Brother, over half his yards came off of two plays thanks to J.J. Buchanan.
10:46Really nice catch by the kid.
10:47On the first drive, great catch.
10:49On a busted play.
10:50On a bad ball.
10:51Right.
10:51And on the second and last drive, the touchdown.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Take away those two.
10:56Oh, boy.
10:57Look, I do not like pro football focus.
11:01I use this as a light reference.
11:03Bryce Underwood was the worst quarterback in America, according to PFF.
11:06Okay, I don't need PFF or, what do you say, children in Romania?
11:09You're right.
11:10I saw it for myself.
11:11The Bangladesh quarterback camp.
11:13I saw that for myself.
11:15Like, he's terrible.
11:16My buddy, after the first drive, like, yeah, he's five for five.
11:19Look at Bryce.
11:20That's scripted.
11:21And I'm like, okay.
11:22And then after that, it was, I thought, okay, Bryce, here's your chance.
11:27You go down there and you score and wait, you just fumbled the ball.
11:31Look, I don't think he has the mental acuity to play the position.
11:33He won't be the first guy, he's not the last, and I want to compliment Marcus Ryan for this
11:38take.
11:38You're getting some Anthony Richardson vibes.
11:41I mean, he's an Adonis.
11:42This kid is built like a transformer, but he doesn't have the mental acuity for this.
11:46He's still staring down his first read.
11:49Kid, this is the big leagues, man.
11:50You're not at Bowling Green.
11:52That out route before the end and a half, what are you doing, son?
11:55Thank God the guy stepped out of bounds.
11:57But this is also the problem.
11:59You're getting a kid from Belleville whose abilities are just a lot better than the competition.
12:04That's not some big-time league.
12:07And you get these five-star guys.
12:09They're gym short warriors.
12:11What did you do seven on seven?
12:12What did you do with the Elite 11?
12:14And then they show up and they're like, wait, this isn't easy.
12:18You just saw it with DJ Lagway.
12:20You saw it with Arch Manning for a couple of years.
12:22You saw it with Dante Moore.
12:23You saw it with Dominic Rayola.
12:24Look, Dylan, excuse me, this is just, I don't know what his path forward is, but that would
12:32have to be one hell of a blip on Saturday night for me to believe he's going to turn around
12:37and shred Brent Venable's veteran defense.
12:40Right.
12:40I'm looking at about five TDs.
12:43He's running by another hundred yards.
12:46I will say this to you.
12:47He's going to be running the ball a lot.
12:49They need to.
12:50No, I know, but I'm being very sincere about this.
12:54They have to unlock his legs.
12:56They have to run him.
12:58He, and I know you don't want to put your quarterback in harm's way, but by running him, you are
13:03opening
13:03up the passing game.
13:04You are allowing for every play to feature a level of, or some form of RPO or play action
13:12that freezes defenders by freezing them.
13:16It's going to allow him to get to an easier read, but man, the straight drop back game.
13:21I still see the same stuff.
13:24105 mile an hour fastballs overthrows everyone and it's just tunnel vision.
13:30It's very, he's, he has way better physical tools, but he reminds me a lot of Shea Patterson.
13:36Patterson coming from Ole Miss was a single read quarterback.
13:40Bryce.
13:41It just, I don't know what he did all off season, but that it's one day.
13:45He had a great summer camp.
13:47What else are those shills going to tell you?
13:49Name the coverage of a college team from any town that says, our quarterback blows my column.
13:59It's never happening.
14:01We're in an era where people need to be fed Gerber.
14:05They can't handle truth.
14:07There you go.
14:07It's the right move.
14:09It's the right.
14:10Oh, listen, listen, I, I want to disclose something.
14:14I talked to Rico this weekend.
14:17He let me know what old gin and tonic was up to.
14:20How embarrassing.
14:21Not that.
14:22Whoa, Joe would ever want to look at himself in a mirror.
14:24Anyways, how embarrassing the big 10 got it.
14:29Right.
14:30And also noted season ticket holder of days gone by.
14:34Nicole our back said the same thing yet.
14:36Real credible.
14:37Good grief.
14:38It was the Hawkeye system, Mike, except for you didn't know it existed, buddy, but you
14:44may as well label that the hang dang system.
14:46The only Hawkeye system I know wave at kids at the end of the first quarter.
14:52And that's about it.
