00:04that's kyle whittingham
00:07oh boy said we're gonna get this fixed
00:13who's we indeed um okay look if you're a michigan state fan call in i don't want this to just
00:19be
00:19about dogging on the losing side i want the winners to have their opportunity too but john
00:25i'm sitting here waiting to hear your reaction to what took place on saturday night oh it was
00:29disgusting it was vomit inducing it was it was it was i ran out of ways to try and describe
00:38how awful michigan played and the fact that it so they played awful but i do want to give credit
00:44to michigan state because pat fitzgerald understood what was at stake and he understood what that game
00:53was and he had his guys ready to go and no i'm not going to sit there and say well
00:57they had a great
00:58advantage because they had two weeks they had a bye week that's bs it's they were the tougher team
01:06and there's always that stat i shared it last week about the team that wins the rushing battle
01:11that stat plays in this game because it is typically the team that is the most physical
01:18the team that is the tougher and tougher mindset tougher players tougher team is going to win this
01:24game and it usually plays out in the rushing battle and it did again on saturday michigan state hey
01:29they were able to run the football against a what was a good michigan defense and and they attacked
01:35them right up the middle tough yards extra yards it was it was unbelievable and you start to get into
01:41the in the third and fourth quarter and and i was talking about this first down yardage they were
01:48picking up nine they were picking up eight you know and then you know they got further down the drive
01:53and it was 11 on first down like they didn't even skip second third down just say let's get a
01:58first
01:58down on this one they were dominating both lines of scrimmage the trenches were dominated by the
02:04spartans and i did not i didn't see that coming for michigan's defense i just didn't see that coming
02:12for michigan's offense i mean it was it was one of the quotes that i had in the game was
02:18was retweeted
02:19doug asked me if you know if there was anything that i noticed where i could see this happening
02:25and i said well there's really nothing i saw that said this wouldn't happen yeah boy because this is
02:31an offensive line that has been awful all season long and it was that was i i thought that there
02:40was a
02:40chance maybe against indiana maybe that's the bat the worst one you know against iowa maybe that's
02:45the worst one no the worst is yet to come there were concerns going into this game based on kyle
02:55whittingham's temperament and the quotes when he said this game is the super bowl particularly for them
03:04when he was clearly trying to brush up on his last minute rivalry study session oh there was a
03:12fight in the tunnel a couple years ago just like an oblivious nature a clueless kyle nature to this
03:20did not have his guys ready to go there's no other explanation because it's not a talent issue
03:25for as poor as michigan's played this year they're the more talented team msu's down 18 players
03:3113 starters right they're playing backups to the backups up and down that roster and they're
03:36outworking you out hustling you they're straining they're playing with physicality aggressiveness
03:40they're playing like they're in a rivalry game right only one side played like they were in a rivalry
03:45game well right and and you look at it and you say well it looked like it mattered to michigan
03:50state
03:51and it looked like it didn't matter to michigan because they weren't ready to go
03:55and to watch turnstiles up front just hey go ahead take a shot at tommy oh hey you want a
04:05shot this time
04:06no you want a shot this time it was unbelievable it was a team for michigan state that had generated
04:1412
04:14sacks up until that point in the season eight games 12 sacks and they come away with five
04:25i mean michigan's offensive line to say it was a sieve would be an upgrade and that that has to
04:34get you look look you played this rivalry you get the tenacity this rivalry but specifically
04:38the trenches i coached this group of guys in the bowl game and i just it's it's it's there's a
04:47lot
04:47of great mysteries surrounding this michigan football team and the biggest one for me is
04:53how did they did they just go full men in black and wipe their minds to be able to say
05:01hey nope
05:01you forgot how to block you forgot how to play football you forgot how to be aggressive
05:06you forgot how to come off the ball you forgot what it means it's it's not lost on you i
05:12know
05:13the irony of michigan can't run the ball their offensive line is putrid so they fire their oc and
05:20they promote their o-line coach well hopefully the new oc will get with the offensive line coach
05:26and figure some things out like i it that that that's the irony of it and it's just a it's
05:37a it's
05:37unbelievable yes okay so so jason beck is gone i don't think whittingham wanted to fire him
05:45no after the game he said no we'll make those decisions in the offseason and i'm guessing that
05:49there was somebody else that stepped in and say no you you've got to do this i i don't know
05:54who that
05:54is because it's not even really an ad i mean ward's got one foot out the door done at the
06:00end of the
06:00year i don't know who goes to him and says you have to fire jason beck but i'm sure it
06:05was phrased like
06:05this it could be jason or it can be both of you and i'm not sure why we're stopping at
06:11jason at this
06:11point to be honest with you because look you've already paid 10 million dollars for jason beck to
06:17go away you you've benched bryce which is another you know 10 million dollars on the commitment long
06:24term what's another 24 to get rid of whittingham at this point you know i i just i feel like
06:31if you're
06:31a michigan fan you can speak for yourself but it feels like you'd be at your wits end pun intended
06:36like this is ridiculous that this is the temperament you can do so much better that that is the temperament
06:42that your coach prepares your team to play within a rivalry game against a shorthanded subpar michigan
06:49state team think about it five field goals for state no touchdown they won the game won the game
06:55going away yeah they did the same thing to start the season michigan a mac team almost beat them
07:02with all field goals in fact they did beat them so and michigan you know got an extra second
07:07right so that would be two losses at home to bad teams without allowing a touchdown that's how
07:15anemic the offense is yes and that is no improvement no improvement you've changed quarterbacks that didn't
07:23work you've been shut out three straight home games at halftime it's a complete and utter disaster
07:30oh yeah it's the titanic there's no way they can keep this guy so you got great statisticians on the
07:37broadcast i'm sure you were well aware as they were sitting on a shutout oh last time michigan was shut
07:43out it's that 1967 in michigan stadium against michigan state oh yeah i mean we were staring down damn
07:50near 60 years since michigan has been in that position in this rivalry well they scored garbage
07:56time to avoid it but we all watched the same thing we all saw them struggle i don't remember
08:01what was i think it was what was the last time michigan lost to indiana in the big house was
08:09that
08:09it wasn't 67 was a 74 no 67 yeah it was 67 same same damn year yeah that was right
08:16before both
08:16took all these things are echoing a major change in the program right that was to come right like
08:21are they going to lose 50 to 14 in ohio state and uh day's not going to go for three
08:26oh boy well they
08:28got their own problems right now but that's interesting as mad as michigan fans were at brady
08:33hoke at times and as much as they rejected rich rodriguez are they more upset with kyle whittingham
08:40than even those two 248-539-9797 i see we got phone calls to get to on the michigan state
08:47front
08:47again i know this can turn into event session and and a lot of michigan focus yeah state won the
08:53game
08:54and when state played notre dame tight earlier in the season i said i thought they would get a
08:59signature win in november does this count as a signature win does this count as a program win
09:06and i legitimately am asking i would love to take the credit for it but i just want to know
09:10like on one hand you beat your rival you're two touchdown underdogs you go into their house
09:15and you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game and fitzgerald gets that moment
09:19for his program the other side of the coin is michigan might not even go to a bowl game
09:23can your signature win be a team that doesn't even make a bowl game
09:28so you tell me of the last three games which do you think they're going to win they're not going
09:31to
09:31be favored in any of them they're not and if they what what makes you believe that the
09:36offensive line all of a sudden figures it out i have no reason to believe that
09:40it's just bizarre and i just a quick story after the game because i'm always the guy that you know
09:44after the hit you know after the game you know i go straight to the locker room i did see
09:49pat
09:49after the game i got a chance that as he was coming out we had just finished the tv show
09:54which
09:54was an absolute nightmare to try and film oh i bet um and so i'm walking up the tunnel and
10:00pat
10:00walks out of the locker room so i i run up and i say pat you know hey you know
10:04congratulations on the
10:05win you know and as he turns around he was holding paul i was like oh oh oh so
10:15timing is is is everything but yeah i did um i did eventually get my handshake and get a chance
10:22to tell him congratulations so i guess there wasn't a fight in the tunnel no not this time no not
10:28this
10:28time no no and you know pat and i did not square square up we got phone calls to get
10:33to we'll
10:33knock out as many moves we can before 702 then we got the overreactions a bunch on the college
10:38football weekend and the nfl michigan michigan state get the phone calls next 97 one
10:42you
