Transcript
00:04our number two good to have you we opened up with some lions we will transition to
00:08what otto was just talking about sparty radio was right all along you hate to see it uh
00:14bryce underwood gets benched tommy carr goes in the game and they played some of the most
00:20competent inspired football we've seen all year do i think tommy carr is some superstar i do not
00:27uh do i think a change had to happen you betcha we've talked about it the only thing we said
00:34from
00:34the start is if bryce struggles they're going to be a change there are a lot of people that like
00:39tommy now we were made fun of by certain bought and paid for media but the point is we were
00:45right
00:46because this doesn't happen if we weren't right now here's how this is going to go bryce is going
00:52to transfer any of this good teammate crap he does is all performative because his agent is
00:57already told him if you want to make that money be nice but he was such a great teammate i
01:02don't
01:02care he was the first to celebrate when tommy scored his first honestly it got to a point in that
01:07broadcast i thought charles davis was going to sponge bathe him like arsenio hall in coming to
01:12america the royal penis is washed sir look i just would like to ask wolverine fans at what point are
01:19you done getting lied to like at what point do you begin questioning who you're listening to
01:24you were led around by the nose like a collection of drooling idiots for years this kid's the best
01:30is he in camp nowhere this kid's the best you're a hater is he the reports out of spring aren't
01:38very
01:38good this kid's the best uh he looks terrible on the field guys well he didn't have a quarterback
01:44coach guys guys i don't think this kid's any good okay new coach new stuff great oc the highest paid
01:52oc
01:52in the country spring ball terrible again but he had the best camp ever in august so just you wait
02:00mike he's great i just everybody now now what you're getting from the same people who lied to you for
02:05two
02:05years is the take that oh well we've been hearing rumblings for a while so you sat on the information
02:11is what you're saying you bums see that this is the problem with stuff like this just at a certain
02:17point wake up think for yourselves the walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is often a
02:23duck
02:24but i'm telling you these people get lied to by the wolverine media it is hilarious to me so now
02:31bryce is done okay the the positive in this is not tommy carr that tommy's some superstar
02:40we can get rid of bryce and at least try to develop someone who's developable bryce has to go
02:46somewhere else i remember saying hey look tommy carr i after watching the spring game and then
02:53talking to people that's what i said hey this may not go well for him and i didn't have any
02:58sources i
02:59was made fun of you don't have any sources were you just being spoon fed this information no because
03:04apparently i'm just too dumb to get information on my own and actually do like you know real legwork
03:10and not just accept everything at face value and then it was every report came out in august
03:15you know he's having the best camp ever and look at this and and then all of a sudden the
03:22tide started
03:23turning and now because people saw him play rico now every report is yes and we've heard rumblings that
03:29this was going to happen and i i kind of saw this and yet then why didn't you say anything
03:34because
03:34because you've traded your your integrity for access we all saw this this kid was not he was
03:40set up to fail i tried to tell you last year shouldn't have played he should have sat for an
03:46entire year and learned the game the worst thing you could do to this kid is stick him out there
03:51from
03:51day one you did he didn't develop he just seemed to regress and yeah when tommy carr got into the
03:57game
03:57it's not to say tommy's going to win the highest bid mike but all of a sudden it was like
04:02out of a
04:03movie where the team just took a deep breath and now every play that just didn't work for the first
04:09five weeks worked he's got to run the ball a little moxie to him he's shifty and he can he
04:15can
04:15look he can make simple passes hits a tight end and it's like oh that plays in the repertoire
04:22and yeah it was like all of a sudden mike for the first time and david you know what you're
04:27the
04:27it looked as if michigan were having fun on offense they scored three touchdowns the last time
04:34they scored three touchdowns utah that was it they looked like the sun was shining again that's what
04:42they look like now there was no real difference to what tommy was doing on the field he wasn't
04:48amazing he's not a savior here but they felt an energy when he got on the field yeah because i
04:56think
04:56everybody on that team knew it was headed nowhere with jumbo xl mouth guard guy it was going nowhere
05:05it why this didn't happen earlier that's for whittingham to uncover or maybe some of the
05:10intrepid reporters the point is kyle whittingham did a disservice to this team by allowing this charade
05:18to carry on in the mid-october now look i don't think tommy's going to do much anything it's indiana
05:24he'll probably get his head taken off and that's okay then you're going to get rutgers you're going
05:28to get some time the reason it's positive it didn't work with underwood it wasn't going to work
05:33i don't know if it'll work with tommy but at least you get to try you get six games to
05:38see exactly what
05:39he could do if he's good winnable you pay him and if he's not good you go to the portal
05:45that's it
05:46i thought it was great but here's the interesting thing this just goes back to this i continue to say
05:52this it drives me insane look at the number one quarterback every year like the people who do
05:59these rankings try something else in life okay dv weatherman maybe 2021 queen ewers absolute
06:07definition of mid and a seventh round draft pick 2022 drew aller cheeks third round pick 2023 arch
06:16manning sits he's absolutely average and he's a nepo baby 24 dj lagway atrocious at florida
06:24atrocious at baylor transferred still stinks 25 bryce underwood stinks with a 3xl mouth guard
06:31and 2026 brandon faze on the kid for tennessee benched
06:38so yeah you want to tell me there's a development problem in the sport you want to tell me these
06:42kids
06:43are paid too much and they play too early ultimately none of them are any good so the next
06:47time you get another one of these guys and i tell you the kid's an idiot for not going to
06:53lsu and you
06:54tell me i'm scared of him cool we're going to revisit this because this happens every effing year
07:00that's the whole point i'm making to you and it's funny because bryce was i mean not bryce but arch
07:06was the one that i thought would work no no no mike because they actually they didn't rush him into
07:11action
07:11because that's the the common they would throw the quarterbacks in there expect it's like when
07:17you draft one in the nfl for the first overall pick your camo hey you're playing son there's no
07:22backup you're going to start day one not ready confidence is blown and as once you lose your
07:29confidence as a quarterback you're no good anymore and that's what i'm seeing with lagway with bryce
07:35and now with phase i like you were you were asked to be the savior to come in there no
07:40high school
07:41quarterback is going to come out there and do anything playing and there's one trevor lawrence
07:46and what you saw there was the unicorn and that's and and you that was probably the best year of
07:53his
07:53life and he got it done at clemson but from here on out i would sit and i would let
08:00these guys wait
08:01but yeah i when i saw that list because i saw it last night and it was just like man
08:06i didn't realize
08:07that yeah for the last what six seven years the the worst thing you could be is the number one
08:12overall quarterback because chances are you're not gonna pan out these are just hype men trying to
08:18pimp subs it's not news none of these guys are gms it's just it's all garbage the whole the whole
08:23thing is just stupid the idea that they played a kid who anyone with an effing brain knew sucked and
08:30they kept playing them that drives me nuts if i'm a michigan fan well yes yeah and what michael got
08:36me was well you have to play him because you're paying him all this money not your money here's the
08:41beauty of it he's gonna cash a check regardless of whether he plays or not don't let that hamper
08:49your team because you owe this man some just pay him his money but put the best quarterback out there
08:55imagine if you make the switch against minnesota that's maybe an extra game that you have and you
09:00only got one loss on your season right now but you you i know but i can't help it they
09:06lost no no i
09:07understand but everybody no no no it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen yeah well it happened
09:12see but that's why on friday i was in the spike camp because i was so angry that they continue
09:18to go
09:19in the same direction they were always in why would you come out of the bye and do that
09:24it didn't make any sense because they should have i think the idiocy of whittingham is coming out of
09:29a bye week if there was any chance of tommy carr playing then you don't start bryce thank you you've
09:34already answered your own question in the bye week yeah if you were willing to open pandora's box mid
09:39game just start tommy carr because you were out there secretly hoping just throw a couple of picks so i
09:46can justify this and there's a second one he's now done david you should have jumped on the bandwagon
09:52tommy i said over under 0.5 snaps i love i love the post-mortem pieces by somebody's michigan goofballs
10:00well writing was on the wall then why weren't you writing it trust me
10:07idiots because nobody eats their own like them now all of a sudden anything that this kid has done bad
10:12will rise oh wojo piece dropping in three two one well it was clearly obvious a move should have been
10:19made oh really you went along with the party line a whole damn afternoon i can't stand these people
10:26it's just because i've lived it for a quarter of a century it never changes and it's like how often
10:30is is the fan base going to continue to get lied to think for yourselves there's an idea michigan had
10:36to make the change because he was holding them back oh really a week ago he was jesus with a
10:41platinum
10:41penis now now now he's holding them back he was cam newton hey paul god oh paul he's got a
10:47god
10:47bryce underwood's dangerous right he's different and dangerous oh i have it right here he stinks
10:57i don't know if i would let him quarterback my team david the text in a moment we'll get to
11:04the
11:04callers but where are you at at least if you're a michigan fan you know your team's probably not going
11:08anywhere but at least you know you have a qb you could try to develop try to see if there's
11:12something
11:12there there was nothing there with bryce he's incapable of playing the position oh okay here come
11:19the text mean racist guido sources it's just or watch the effing games there's an idea
