00:21on
00:21buddy what's up man nice to talk to you again what's going on of course hey man so first i
00:27want to start off by saying um just a little optimism for my spartan brothers um i'm not
00:34really a sparty but i am damn near married into a spartan family shout out elijah he's the assistant
00:40safety assistant corners coach at msu right now he's my future brother-in-law so shout out to him
00:46um i think man just a little patience man just just a little patience i don't know if the timeline
00:52was
00:52to ever be you know be what that hold on hold on bb six and six with two auto wins
00:59against mac crap
01:00dude come on man i can't you know what i can't argue with that what i what i will say
01:05is i it's just
01:07fits i would just give him a little more time the guy is coming straight from the couch you know
01:11he
01:11hasn't had time to really recruit anybody he's not like well here's your other problem though
01:15all right hold on duke i'll have the conversation with you but i am going to counter your points
01:19though we're gonna have some fun here of course do you know how many commitments fits has for next
01:24year i don't know no four uh yeah uh-huh now here's the other problem fits his success or failure
01:35will simply be dictated on the money he is handed and i'll say it again if you're not going to
01:40get
01:40to that 40 million dollar level you're not going to win anything in this game yeah you're you're not
01:47wrong i mean i love fitzgerald do you not believe that investment is coming anytime soon i do not
01:54duke i think that investment is there i don't think they know how to use the money spend the money
01:59or
01:59where all the money is coming from i think the money is in so many different bank accounts that
02:04they're like wait why why didn't we just consolidate this all into one place and make it easier for
02:11everybody it can be fixed but duke the clock is ticking december's going to tell me everything i
02:17need to know about next year you're not wrong i think that where they need to start is man north
02:23northwestern is the blueprint they need that stadium has to go they need they need a stadium where kids
02:29will be excited to play at people would love to visit it needs to fit the the like the the
02:35capacity
02:35needs to fit there's just a lot of changes that need to be made with that stadium plus recruiting of
02:40course yeah but can i can i say this duke as much as i i you know i've i've i've
02:45made a bit out of
02:46how much i can't stand spartan stadium but let's be real indiana still has porta potties in the
02:51concourse of uh memorial field okay they're doing just fine so i i hear you winning is the key people
02:58will sit in hell if you win and play entertaining ball uh yes absolutely cameron into arena is the
03:06perfect example for that that place is a dump yeah but it's iconic i can't lie um yeah it's very
03:15true
03:16they do win next bryce underwood my guy i love bryce man as a buckeye we love bryce keep him
03:22here as
03:23long as possible man i i think he's the he's the key you guys will win all the games with
03:28bryce just
03:28keep him in there and and you'll be just fine my predictions that i've that i've made i mean
03:33my name in a group chat is the prophet i just i i i don't know man i'm just constantly
03:38right about
03:39stuff oh boy i predicted i i predicted he'll never uh beat the buckeyes ever again looks like that's
03:45never happening from high school i predicted and you guys mentioned this yesterday if i'm not wrong
03:50this guy didn't throw at any camp no no he dodged everything he died everything he went to lsu on
03:57on on a camp visit or whatever whatever it refused to throw he didn't go to the elite 11 like
04:02there's a lot that you know they just overlooked shout out dave portnoy who who literally fed you
04:08guys him you threw 12 million at him and here we are and i love it i love it hiring
04:14hiring uh wit
04:15to me was as a buckeye i knew they i knew that's where the problem was they panicked they didn't
04:23have
04:23anybody so literally you went and hired a guy who just retired he just retired he has zero admission
04:28my dad the other day is getting mad because he's like why is this guy just smirking on the sideline
04:33after every penalty it just gets annoying west coast coaches don't do well in the big 10 that's
04:40it stop hiring them no i i think there's an element to that i did duke listen you're not
04:45off base and and and i think wit and fits are very similar it's like i like both of these
04:50guys
04:50i think they're both high quality coaches from a bygone era i mean that's the problem you have to
04:57put silos to these things you can say i like like any spartan who thinks i don't like fitzgerald is
05:03just not listening they're just brain dead but i don't like him in this era of football as someone
05:10who was unemployed for multiple years and had no staff no contacts and no players and then doesn't
05:17have a high level budget and and newsflash i don't care who you are or what job you take
05:24i don't care if rico and the founders took control of umass football there is no world going two and
05:31ten is acceptable period i don't know man watch your mouth what we're gonna make some big changes at
05:37umass i'm making a point that like you can't you just can't accept what's happening no this was the
05:44one mulligan year for him and he's wasting it this was the year that i was willing hey if you
05:50get to six and six man that's a win for this year and this year only right now they won't
05:56be favored
05:57in a game the rest of the season no unless something happens at ruckers this weekend would be maybe your
06:03best shot you're at home yeah illinois is horrible i don't even know what illinois is so i'm gonna take
06:10your word for this they're they're is it because you're anti-moo-moo no okay we'll just move past
06:17it go go to no it's because i watched their game against duke okay we'll go to mitchell 971 mitch
06:23how you doing buddy hey boys um real quick a couple things uh i you guys would know more you
06:30guys have
06:30more connections to the to the insiders do we assume that whittingham has full autonomy to run
06:38this team the way he wants to no okay so i think that is the inherent problem i think
06:45whittingham should have probably assumed that that was the case and not taking the job also correct
06:50there's no world he was taking this job and not starting underwood so that's why i'm answering the
06:55question i'm answering mitch yeah yeah no and i think it's just a massive issue i think that that
07:00michigan fans probably need to pull a red wings fans i'll tie this back in with where i'm going with
07:06this um probably need to pull a red wings fan issue and they gotta rip out some of the cancer
07:12that's in that program i mean it's been there since car left or since car was there truth be told
07:17car
07:18should they should have kept car when ryan mallet came in i guarantee the future of michigan football
07:22would have been completely different um that being said michigan is the toronto maple leafs
07:29of college football they have this just inflated sense of self they think they're better than what
07:34they really are michigan is a mid-tier program regardless of the history regardless we're in
07:402026 they're mid they're just mid well when you look at about when you look at a 20-year run
07:45outside of the three years where they cheated and the numbers are way different
07:49they're a very upper middle class college football program go look at it yeah that's the data i know
07:55yeah i know i'm i'm right there with you then they cheated and became 1984 smu it's like go look
08:01at
08:01the flow chart what do you want from me oh it's it's it's embarrassing like i'm not a michigan
08:06fan by any means but it's and i'm embarrassed for michigan fans with how highly they think of
08:10themselves it's like ee guys take a deep breath um that being said uh fire chris illich i mean to
08:17the moon dude this guy is an absolute bum his out of touch statement on linkedin like get i gotta
08:23i gotta
08:24be honest with you and and mitch i did a full segment on it yesterday i don't know if you
08:27caught it
08:28um yeah i did i mean i gotta and i can't prove this but i feel like he used ai
08:34to write that
08:35that that did not feel like it was written by a human being it just didn't it well he might
08:41not
08:41even be human i think that i think the big issue here that that that a lot that a lot
08:46of guys are
08:46missing and i've seen it in a couple of comments across the board is he has i think chris illich
08:53has
08:53massive daddy issues this reminds me of the movie uh gladiator or count you know maximus was the son
09:00that the emperor always wanted i think that was steve and i think i think this is just you know
09:05my
09:05take i think chris is intentionally tanking the red wings because he's got daddy issues oh my
09:09thank you mitch that's a little bit deep wow that's a little much okay i can just say i think
09:18he's a
09:18terrible owner and we'll leave it there fair that's very fair he just went with a maximus
09:23versus commodus blast i didn't have that on my bingo board i did not or the founders were going
09:30to umass no i minute man they got off to a decent start this year you see what happened yeah
09:38they let
09:38santa claus slide down the chimney and burn their house down how the hell do you lose to chris
09:42great and eastern so that means that msu could beat umass the bar is high it's uh four feet in
09:52the
09:52ground correct
