00:03I also have a quote that says my mom is rolling in her grave uh he said I need to
00:09be more
00:09disciplined more composed I do have a passion problem that I've had for a long time but it
00:14needs to be controlled and not emotional I was emotional I can't do that but I'm not going to
00:19apologize for fighting for my guys John what did you make of him flipping the bird um I agree with
00:24everything he said there shouldn't have happened I disagree with flipping the bird but if there's
00:29anything I know about Pat and he had a passion problem when he played to running around the
00:34big house with the flag after they they beat us in 95 um and but it's also one of the
00:41things that
00:42makes him who he is now yes you don't flip the bird you can have you could do all the
00:47things he was
00:48doing on the sidelines just don't flip the bird like I don't know what was going through his mind
00:53at the time clearly not anything I know it's going through his mind f these guys yeah they're screwing
00:57us over our guy wasn't offside and he wasn't offside it was a perfect kick I I agree and what
01:04do you mean you can't review this f you yes I I understand that but as he said he's the
01:10leader of
01:10the program he's the one that has to set the standard for all of his players and now he's put
01:15himself in a bad position so if this happens with let's just say Michigan and Michigan State do we think
01:22that there's a chance for any extracurricular activities of course yes and so it just puts him
01:29in a bad spot as a leader to discipline in the future okay I see where you're going with this
01:34because I thought it fired his guys up I thought yes you can do all of those different things you
01:39just don't flip the bird I don't know I'm not really all that bothered by it is it the world
01:46is not
01:47ending all right it's going to galvanize them they're going to frame that photo they might think
01:52about that that program and D'Antonio did such a good job of harnessing the energy of we are the
01:58the
01:58rebel underdog that was a f you to the authority to the officials who were out to get us my
02:04guys are
02:04going to rally and they did and they got all the way back they got a fourth down stop they
02:07got to
02:07overtime I don't fault him at all not for the bird that's where I draw the line too vulgar for
02:15you
02:15no I just don't think it it doesn't everything that he said right there I'm the leader of the
02:20program leader of program doesn't do that leader of program can have all those emotions although
02:25everything that he was doing on the sidelines is going to fire his guys up his words that he is
02:30saying are you know f you and and and all of that is enough you don't have to take it
02:37that one step
02:37further and no is it too vulgar no I don't really care I've seen it before I'll see it I'll
02:43see it
02:43again but in that situation it's just the wrong moment
02:51Heather was doing it before it was cool yeah so but there's two parts Spartan fans obviously want
02:55to know about the passion problem is it even a problem what did you make of your coaches actions
03:01on the sideline the issue I had was with his decision not to go for two but to call that
03:06play
03:06yeah John that play was dead to rights it was a dead giveaway with the quarterback over to the side
03:13I'm not really sure what they were hoping to do there the play what even if he caught the ball
03:17he was going to get tackled short of the goal line right they're running back had done a nice job
03:21getting solid yards the quarterback had completed 80 of his passes I got no issue with win the game
03:27you're gonna have to go for two in the next OT just call a real play run real offense so
03:32from
03:34basically they started the the second half with a fumble all right not a great way to start the second
03:40half Illinois goes down and they get a field goal out of it that puts it at 23-7 from
03:45that moment on
03:46their offense had not been stopped 10 plays 64 yards okay you could say it was stopped but they ended
03:51up
03:52with a field goal they got the interception they score on one play a touchdown then they go 10 play
03:5872 yards touchdown six play 33 yards touchdown they end the half because there's just no time on the clock
04:04that takes them to overtime their offense had not been stopped that wasn't the reason why he decided
04:10to go for two is because they just felt like hey we're not even sure we could feel the team
04:14anymore
04:14with so many injuries and exhaustion and defense had a hard time stopping them but their offense
04:18anything they were dialing up was working so you don't have to go with the razzle dazzle trick play
04:23how about a couple numbers for you Patterson the running back his last 15 rushes gained at least
04:29three yards or were touchdowns maybe hand him the ball yeah or Alessio completed 84 percent of his
04:36passes maybe trust him to complete a pass thrown into the end zone I didn't have and I don't think
04:41anybody here had an issue with him going for two no I think that was the right call oh oh
04:47we had a
04:47hand go up and it's not Heather Park Shabath you have a freshman quarterback who had already thrown
04:53two touchdowns on your defense still you have a freshman quarterback on the road in overtime in a
04:57homecoming game you extend the game for them you make them keep making plays you're gonna have to
05:04go for two in the next OT and their quarterbacks probably scoring again as he had already done
05:07twice your defense is on fumes you have to make them keep making plays I get it I do get
05:12it it's
05:13also I'm also biased by the horrible call that it was on the two-point conversion well okay remove the
05:18bias and just talk about the decision I don't think the decision was a bad decision I think going for
05:23the win at that moment was the right thing to do it's what Kentucky did yeah I just had an
05:28issue
05:28it's what Kentucky did two weeks in a row yeah I just have an issue with so many exchanges in
05:36that
05:36you you leave yourself vulnerable to fumbles to you know somebody throwing the ball wrong just hand the
05:41ball off and tell your offensive line hey you just saw my emotion I have a passion problem now I
05:49need
05:49that passion problem to transfer to you guys go out there and dominate at the line of scrimmage
05:54and get us this win yeah anything other than what they called would have been fine by me
05:59got text want to make room on the phones want to know about flipping the bird and the two-point
06:03call
06:03it's 97-1
