Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Anchors up the sales at cool Welcome to sleep, cass
Agent today.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
You know, Karen, really pretty good.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Oh you don't say, what are you new?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Tradition? Good tradition, whine this day.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Listen. It's a cause for celebration. And also it's so
which is honey wine? I suppose you know it, but
but but it is a cost of celebration. I I
I suppose it is. Kyle, did anything? How was your weekend?
And how is your Thanksgiving? Did everything go okay? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Guys, overall this weekend was pretty darn good, pretty darn good.
But I've got a lot to cover with.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
All the fun and all the shenanigans. We we we
do have a job, as much as you can call
podcasting a job to do. Uh So jump over into
the report card. Yeah, I suppose we typically do general
vibes for a few minutes first. Other than just good

(01:58):
and great and satisfying and removing of a monkey from
the back, I mean general general thoughts on the game, Kyle.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean general thoughts. It was, including myself, we were
I was personally just very worried at the start. They
they got off three points with a with a couple
of big plays to get them in the field goal position,
and then House State a couple of plays later gifted
them an interception, which then the defense stood their ground

(02:32):
again to only let let them get a field goal there.
So I think a lot of Buckeye fans, including myself,
raising raising my hand here, uh, we're very worried, or
like oh no, oh no, here we go, here we
go again. But after that point, after that saying interception,

(02:53):
Buckeye settled down and everything was good afterwards, then it
felt like I felt like everything since then Ohio State
was in complete control, absolutely complete in control. And you
look at you can look at all the stats, you
look at all the all the numbers here, like you know,

(03:14):
I'll just I'll just say it. Whatever it was, it
was just a downright ass kicking Jared Yeah uh in
their home and in their home in their home field too.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, Spikes says. Stopping them after the pick was a
sign they were I mean, we're not. I'm way at
least five until were at least five minutes in before
because of weird YouTube rules before I before I pronounce screwed.
Thank you, Spikes. But yeah, the defense really came through.
Defense had a bad first drive, which like was a

(03:46):
thing Ohio Sate did during the first half of the
season a lot. I think we've kind of forgotten about that,
where the like the defense would kind of spot the
other team would like the first drive. Uh again, we
haven't seen them do that really two plays. Yeah kinda,
but you know, if you're an Ohio State fan and
you had watched Michigan run all over Ohio State for

(04:09):
the past couple of years, it didn't really feel that way.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Uh uh.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And losing Jordan Marshall was was huge for Michigan, I
think that needs to be said. And he did come
back and play another drive later, but he wasn't he
wasn't quite all all there in Kudzel Kudzele is a
good back, but he's he's no Jordan Marshall. So that

(04:38):
was obviously a big blow for them. They had a
lot of personnel issues. I was gonna say injuries, but
at least two of the guys, I'm not exactly sure.
There's not a whole lot of clarity as to why
exactly they're missing. They were missing, but we won't get

(04:58):
into that. But yeah, the for all of the talk,
at least on the Columbus side of like Ohio State injuries,
Ohio State injuries, or High State injuries, Michigan definitely had
the worse of the injury lineup. They've been without their
starting left tackle for like a month, without arguably the

(05:22):
best running back through the first two months of the season,
without you know, for the first two months, Jordan Marshall,
who's a very good running back for a few weeks.
And again he played for a drive in this game.
He obviously wasn't he was obviously wasn't up for it.
And and I say all of this not too yes,

(05:43):
exactly Spikes. I say all of this not to like
make an excuse for Michigan. I say this to use
Spikes's words. It's almost like load management works, yeah, killing clock.
All year. Ohio State has been spreading out the carries

(06:04):
among their running backs all year. Ohio State has been
doing everything they can to limit their touches for their players,
to limit their snaps for their players. Which is why
what starters was Ohio State missing from this game From
the start of the season to now, what starters didn't

(06:25):
play in this game due to injury? I know some
I know there were personnel changes who missed the game
due to injury.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Dios played. That was going to be my only concern
was going to be styles. But he was in there
and he played well. He played well.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
He played that game zero. Yeah, Ohio State was missing
nobody from week one due to injury. So if you're
one thing Ohio State to run up the score more
or if you were one thing Ohio State to put
up more stats.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I want I'm gonna go into that deeper as when
when we get to it on.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Our grading, I mean, I mean through the season, not
not this game, not scores or stats for this game,
I mean through the entire season. This is why Ohio State,
you saw it is almost completely I mean as healthy
as a team could be at the end of a
regular season, because they were putting teams away, because you

(07:31):
saw the backups, because they were doing rotation, because they
have the depth and the talent to do that rotation effectively.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
And you saw that especially in the second half, specially
especially like from halfway in the third quarter to the
rest of the rest of the game. Michigan's defense just
looked worn out. Yeah, they looked tired. They looked like
they were just beaten all game, which they were the
offensive line. Offensive line played except throughout the throughout the

(08:03):
course of the game.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
There I think it was Hill. I think it may
have been during the course of Ohio States twenty play drive.
It may not have been, but it was definitely late
in the game where they they got a good jump
on a play and one of their players, I think
it was Hill, got like a TfL got you know,
got the running back of yard or two behind the

(08:25):
line of scrimmage and there just was no celebration on
their part and did They were just they were worn out.
They just sort of got up and got back and
you know, got ready for the next play. They they
were spent. They were done. It was over, you know.
I mean, it's when if you get a big TfL
like that. I mean the game was out of reach

(08:47):
at that point as well, obviously, but yeah, they were
they were spent. And it was really nice to be
on the other side of this because if you watch
that twenty minute drive excuse me, that twenty play what
was it, fourteen minute drive? Yeah, yeah, it really felt

(09:14):
it really it was really nice to be on the
other side of that because it really felt like that
drive has happened in the last few years twenty, but
Ohio State was on the ass side of it in
the past few.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Just I just wish that ended up being a touchdowelve.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Minutes, twel plays, Yeah, twenty plays, eighty one yards eleven
fifty six which they started.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
They started the drive with four point fifty nine left
in the in the third quarter, and then it was
eight ten left in the fourth quarter, so about halfway
through in the fourth quarter when they kicked the field goal.
Then it is absolutely just that was that was as

(10:00):
a man's drive. That was that was a yeah, that
was like an army drive, just absolutely just eating up
the clock.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Ryan Day won't say it, but I'll say it. That's
the type of drive that a tough team puts together. Yeah,
that that is a tough team drive.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Should we get into the uh to the gratings.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Here, let's get into the grading.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
All right. Game plan, Jared game plan, I'll let you
start it off.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Offensive game plan. I have no complaints. Obviously it it
didn't start great. First two throws were incompletion and an interception,
but to the credit of everyone involved. And this might

(10:59):
be more of a for the for the second grade,
but I think what they did as far as a
game plan was concerned, is they just did their game plan.
They they didn't they didn't come into the game with
the agenda, with an agenda other than an agenda to win,

(11:21):
which I don't think was the case the past couple
of years. And it worked A plus.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, a plus absolutely, uh yeah, rough start to for
the first couple of series there, learned from those mistakes
there and then since that, since that game there, or
since that quarter or or the yeah, since that first
half of their or first two drives, like Hastate just

(11:50):
absolutely dominated. Like looking at all of the quarters here,
the second quarter or the first quarter, Michigan had eighty
five yards I guess we're talking about the offense here,
so well, say eighty five yards in the first quarter,
and then they settled down one hundred and thirty six
yards in the second quarter, one hundred and twenty yards

(12:11):
in the third quarter, and then they just kind of
just took off the gas and was just wasting clock
in the fourth quarter and they just had seventy eight
yards in the fourth quarter there, and that was by design,
and that was by design. They they did exactly what
Michigan did to them last year. And that was holding
onto the ball, like not giving him a chance to

(12:31):
try to somehow squeak in another touchdown to make it closer.
They said, no, we're just gonna We're just gonna squeeze
this clock out forty minutes in one second. Yeah, is
the time of possession for Ohio State to eleven fifty nine,
So fifty point zero zero one percent of time of

(12:51):
possession for Ohio State. Uh, Kyle, this is the first
time I actually lord of that. But yeah, this is
the first.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Time I'm looking at the show notes you coped together
the show notes. Is the first time I'm looking at
the quarter by quarter breakdown. If you would have told me,
i'd have said, Ohio State lost the first quarter but
won the second, third, and fourth quarters. And looking at this,
they tied the first quarter. I mean, obviously Michigan scored
more points, right, Like it was three to six, Okay, obvious,

(13:22):
but total yards exactly the same rush average. Michigan has
an edge rush yards, Michigan has an edge pass yards
or highest State has the edge. But Michigan still went
oh for three on third downs, even in the first quarter,
which would have been their best quarter. Like I feel

(13:43):
like anyone would have told you Michigan's best quarter was
the first quarter in that game. Yards per play, they
only had a slight let edge over Ohio State. Ohish
State had more plays. And really the key here and
why Ohio State didn't get some huge hole is what
we've seen out of Ohio State for the past I

(14:07):
mean not twelve games, you know, the past fifteen six
fifteen games. Red zone defense. That that red zone defense
was key. Both teams in the first half had three scores.

(14:29):
The difference being is that Michigan settled for field goals
all three times and the highest state got into the
end zone twice. That was the key through the first
half in game coaching, I gotta.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Say a plus two like the they adjusted after those
two for first two series series, settled down there and
the just let the let the defense really take over.
But offensively though, like man, it was such a thing
of beauty of how accurate and how precise saying has

(15:10):
been or was since that interception, like he went on
a streak, like ridiculous of completions and then converting third
downs in a row two like he was just on top,
just on top of it, and and he got a
couple of sneaks in there as well too. Yeah, so

(15:32):
one of them was game coaching.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
It would have been so easy after that first drive
where they got gashed a couple of times for big plays,
and then two plays on offense you throw an interception
deep inside your own side of the field. It would
have been really easy for the players for the coaching

(15:56):
staff to just start shooting their pants to go, oh
my god, here we go again. Oh my god, not
this again, Oh my god, here we are, we're doing
this again. Would have been really easy to just start spiraling. Yeah,
but they didn't. And because everyone stayed calm, cool, collected,
because everyone stayed on their task, they get an A

(16:19):
plus for that alone. For that alone, they get an
A plus for just not panicking.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Quarterbacks. Gosh, this is tough, Like I really want to
give saying, well, I really want to give san An
a plus, but I do just give him the A
because he doesn't have that interception. It was a bad
interception too, okay, but since but since then, like he

(16:51):
it was, he was really just really good. Nineteen for
twenty six for two thirty three and three touchdowns on
the road in a hostile environment against a really, by
the way, a really good defense like this is a
really really good defense, and he shredded them. Yeah, he

(17:13):
absolutely shredded them.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I think it's really easy to lose sight of the
fact that he is, in fact a red shirt freshman.
And one of the things I have praised about Julian
saying from September on is how unbelievably poised he is
for as young as he is, and that poise was

(17:37):
on full display. He goes to the sideline, he talks
to Ryan Day about what happened. He comes out for
the second drive and goes, as Kyle pointed out, just
a streak. I think there was a point, I want
to say, deep into the third quarter where he had
only missed two balls. He only had two incompletions since

(17:59):
the first first since the first two, he'd only had
two cents and one of them was a throwaway. You
have to remember he's a red shirt freshman. Uh So,
for his poise and for not panicking, and for all
that alone, I'm giving him an a plus. And for
just we we let's throw away the first drive, I'll

(18:20):
give him that. That's the most best, one of the
best defenses he's played all year, if not the best
defense he's played all year, one of the most hostile
environments he had faced all year. He stumbled immediately and
then just collected himself and went on and had an
amazing football game.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Here's here, here's here's the numbers for first time.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
I mean, he's from California, so maybe in his life.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, so since the interception, first incompletion was a breakup,
like there was a really good defense thrown to Jeremiah
Smith and they got it and on that great throw
but even better defense. And then second incompletion was to
Max Claire. That one was.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
The that wasn't an overthrow, that that wasn't even next yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
The third incompletion was a drop by Max Claire that
was in the beginning of the third quarter.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
And then I remember, I think that one was kind
of a bad throw. If I remember.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
The fourth one was.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Down as a drop, but it was also a pretty
bad throw.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
The fourth one was to Carnal Tate. I don't remember
that one that was late in the third quarter. That
was that really long drive. I don't remember that one.
And then the last his last pass was to uh
cack Americ and I think that one was a throwaway
as well too.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
It was that one thrown out of the back of
the end zone. If I'm remembering correctly, Spike says you, yes,
we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because this was the field so yes,
it was. It was Yeah, that was right before the
field goal.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
So that was also maybe just.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
One bad pass, one bad pass, and that's it since
the interception.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, uh too. The first missed in the third quarter
to Claire was a bad pass and obviously the interception
was a bad read, which is a bad pass.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Only only two bad passes in twenty six attempts.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, I mean, at some point we have to grade
him on a scale. I am grading him on a scale.
He's a red shirt freshman who was facing a lot
of really hard first.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
All right, moving on, Uh, he.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Is historically running his accurate passers in college football. Yeah,
and he was playing a great defense in a hostile
environment in bad weather, and is two years out of
high school. I am grading him on a scale. I'm
grading him on an appropriate scale.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
All Right, run blocking, this is the best. This is
the best Ohio State has run against. I'm answering this
for everybody against Michigan since since the twenty two game.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I'm answering this for everybody, if you want to take
a peek at the screen, A plus plus plus plus
plus plus plus plus plus plus plus considering who they
were playing, considering, Yeah, this is an A plus performance.
We we Ohio State was Ryan Day was gaming Michigan
for the past few weeks. We saw like nothing new

(21:36):
or innovative out of the running game for weeks, and
then all of a sudden, we saw a bunch of
maybe not new exactly, but we saw some run concepts
we hadn't seen in a long time from Ohio State.
They they they they've been hiding stuff from Michigan probably

(21:56):
since Illinois or Penn State. They've been running vanilla, especially
on the run offense. They've been running vanilla for a month.
And you know what, I'm cool with that.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
One hundred and eighty six yards. You know, if you
told me that House State was going to run the
ball forty seven times, right, well, I was just say
forty six. I'm not counting the Neil forty six times.
I would have been like, is this a blowout? Is
this have a blowout? Then?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I mean it was it was a blowout. I don't
care if it was only twenty seven to nine, Michigan
only had the ball was what was the top in
the second half?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Do you have just twenty twenty three forty to six, twenty.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Twenty three forty to six, twenty in the second half?
Ohio State, out of thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Had the three quarters for quarters.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Of the twenty three minutes and forty of the seconds.
That's a blowout. I don't care what the final score says.
That's a blowout. All twenty minutes Austin almost twenty one, yeah,
almost twenty one.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I want to get into the past blocking, but we
do have to take our first ad break real quick, Jared,
do it all right. The sloopcast dot com is your
link for anything and everything sloop cast related. If you
have not checked our site recently, head on over to

Take that ad break and be right back.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Not sponsored, but Brothers Drake Mudery of Columbus, Ohio. That's
a free shout out in case y'all. Hey, if y'all
want to pay us for future shoutouts, just let me know.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
All right, all right, past block might as well just
take that run block there. Just copy and paste that
rate into pass blocking.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I hear what you're saying. It's easier for me to
do this. But yeah, did he have on the books
any pressures forget knocked down with forget sacks? I saw
someone somewhere say zero pressures.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
One according to the stat it's one. I've seen one
in our back quarterback hurry one, quarterback hurry one pass
breakup and that past breakup was the one I told
you about where to Jeremiah And it was going to
be a catch to jeremih Smith, but he got his
defender got his hand in there. It was Zeke Barry

(24:58):
got his hand in there.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
The first pass the Carnal Tait to pass breakup as well.
I don't, I don't. I mean maybe it wasn't statistically,
but it probably should have been.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I would say maybe it should have been.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, yeah, but that that has nothing to do with
the pass rush or past blocking.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
But yeah, only yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I only personally remember one time I felt like Jered
excuse me that Julian saying was rushed and it turns
out it was a screen pass. I was like, oh, oh,
they're gonna get to him. And then then I saw
all the offensive lineman drifting out to the sideline and
I was like, oh, they're doing that. Good call, Yeah,
good job.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
All right, all right running, let's let's move on street.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
To one hurry throw was on a missed block assignment
by saying ol never missed the block. Pass blocking isn't
just the offensive line. But I but I hear you
Austin like that that also counts in my opinion. But
it worked out. I mean saying didn't identify it. Sayan

(26:04):
is a pass blocker. If he's making if he's making
line calls, he's a pass blocker. And that's that's how
I graded, at least according to this the quarter.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
The quarterback hurry was in the fourth quarter during that
during that long twenty play drive. It was a pass
incomplete to Will Kakameric. The throw Yeah, it was the throwaway.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Which is maybe why he threw it away. Okay, I
don't specifically remember the pass rush on that play, but
it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Ye, all right, running backs Bo Jackson one hundred and
seventeen yards and over five yards up pop against one
of the best rush defenses. About how State has a
plus from both? And honestly, a lot of people are

(27:03):
giving CJ. Donaldson crap at the start, but he's he
finished strong at the at the end too.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
He he had he had a rough He had a
rough start going on with trying to get into the
end zone right in the first quarter there, but he
finished strong. I was really pressed with what I saw
from CJ as the game went along there. But running backs, yeah,
I'm gonna say a plus.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
They they did exceptionally well and it helped that the
offensive line was just forming such big holes for them
to run through. Yeah, it's it's hard to separate the two, but.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
It is.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah. But yeah, I'm feeling good, so we're gonna go
eight plus.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah. And receivers there, Yeah, it's so great seeing four
and seventeen back on the field together again. And what
a different What a difference is that in your three
main your three starting wide receivers each get a touchdown
as well. In this game, I I gots an A,

(28:13):
I'll give it. I'll give a solid A. Not only that,
not only receivers.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Not only that, but add an additional forty nine yards
for Bo Jackson on four receptions.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
He made some incredible plays when you know just what
could have been or should have been just some simple
little dump offs. He made really good plays out of
Brennan Innis gets a touchdown. Max Claire I think had
a couple of key plays. Yeah. As far as receiving goes,

(28:49):
I mean, listen, you got the I mean I'm not
going to give him the plus. I'm gonna say I'm
going to give him the plus. Well, I say, nay, Yeah,
I think they do get the A.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
M all right. Drives in conversions. Ohio State went on.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
A twenty twenty plays what twenty plays twelve minutes?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, because of that drive, I gotta give the A plus.
I honestly give the A plus there, I really do.
But when I look at when I looked Jared at
the let me let me do some quick math there
five eight, They were eight for eleven going going into

(29:42):
the fourth quarter on third downs eight for eleven and
then if you want to count that they converted one
fourth down nine to eleven on third slash fourth downs
through three quarters. That is insane. Yeah, absolutely insane. And
then they finished the game ten for seventeen. But yeah,

(30:03):
a plus.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Again fourth court excuse me. Second half they held the
ball for twenty three minutes and forty seconds out of
a possible thirty. Yeah, a plus plus plus plus plus
plus plus plus plus.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
All right, explosiveness. They had a lot of explosive plays, Jared,
They had a lot. They had they have four, they
had four on the rush.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Lass going hard goal line field goal on the first
drive with like seven downs from the four was annoying.
I agree, I agree, But like again, twenty minutes and
forty seconds of possession in the second.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Half explosive explosiveness for the offense.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
That this is where the wide receivers really came into play.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Here, four big pass plays and for big rush plays
as well too. Now, two of those passing plays ended
up for touchdowns, one to one to Jeremiah, one to
Carnal Tait. Yeah, I really like, I'll just I'll stick

(31:22):
with an A overall, I State has definitely had a
lot more explosive plays overall, but again they playing a
lot better defense and here so I feel comfortable of
just giving a solid, a exceptional work got the big
plays that they could not get last year, and that
was that really set up the rest of the game.

(31:43):
Set up the the rush rushing attack as the game
went along really opened things up as they were able
to to get those big chunk yards.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
So I'll say an a, I'm gonna go plus on this.
But Jackson had a thirty six yard rip, Carneal Tait
had a fifty yard just made it look too easy.
Fifty yard touchdown Jeremiah Smith, and I don't want to
hear it. One Ohio State destroyed Michigan. This game wasn't closed.

(32:13):
I don't want to hear it. But also, he bobbled
the ball after he had possession. Okay, when has a
babble ever been a fumble? Go find me one instance
in the history of football where someone bobbling the ball
went into the record books as a fumble. I may
have said in interception or in completion.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
And the ball never touched the battle, never touches.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
The ground, he never actually loses possession. Oh, he bobbled it. Cool,
showed me one instance, one instance ever in the history
of football in which someone going boo whoo, whooh whoop
with the ball for a moment went into the record
books as an interception or excuse me, as a fumble.

(32:56):
Find me that one instance and then I'll entertain the conversation.
But until you find me that one instance, go fuck yourself.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I'm on all right. Moving on defense, defence Jared nine points,
giving up zero touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Zero touchdowns, first first.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Time, first time Michigan did not score a touchdown in
this game since two thousand and seven, when Ohio State
won fourteen to three in Ann Arbor game. Playing gameplan wise, honestly,
it was honestly, it was just trying to stop the run.
That was that was the big thing. Gotta gotta stop.

(33:43):
Michigan's rushing attack started off a little flaky there, especially
the first play there, and then the second drive they
got another further another chunk play to.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
The first averaged seven point five per carry on the ground.
They got seventy five yards rushing off of ten carries
in the first quarter alone.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, yep, seven point five in the first quarter, then
went down to three point seven in the second quarter,
went to then it went to zero in the third quarter.
Then it went to negative eight, which it was a sack.
So it's a little misleading, but sure in the stats
here negative eight rushing yards per attempt in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Therefore, I'll give them just an A on the game plan. Yeah,
I was thinking the same. However, in game coaching A plus. Yes,
I was about not not just a plus. Kyle, I'm
doing the thing. I'm doing the thing. Watch me do
the thing. There he did the thing. A plus plus
plus plus, plus plus plus.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
We are Jared. We are I know that. I know
that some pet Buckeye fans like la la lah. Don't
say it. Don't say it, la la la. I don't
want to hear it. Don't hear don't jink. We are Jared.
Are on the cusp of seeing one of the most dominant,
the most dominant defenses college football has ever seen. We

(35:14):
are the cusp of seeing it.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I'm making the cameras bigger for a moment. I said this.
I said this during know your enemy. We don't play scared,
and we don't believe in jinxes. This is the attitude
that you must carry forward as an Ohio State fan.
Playing scared believing in Jinx's all that bullshit is how

(35:38):
you get into the mentality that causes you to lose
to Michigan. Carrying yourself with confidence and playing as if
you are the winner that you are is how you
defeat Michigan. We don't believe in Jinxes and we don't
play scared. This is the attitude.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Tackling was some mistacklings in those in the first quarter,
in the first quarter.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
There against very talented guys.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, Marshall.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Marshall was very talented, very very underwood caused some mistackles
as well, or ran through some arm tackles that with
his shiftiness, he turned into arm tackles.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Honestly, if you take if you take the the sack
out Jared, he was just five attempts for nine yards, right,
They held him in chick when it came to trying
to trying to break one there. But you're you're not
You're not out running. Uh, you're not out running rvel

(36:42):
Reese at all.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
No, he had and he got seven of of those
of those one yards, he got seven of them on
on one play.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, right, So tackling, I'll say a I'll say an A.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
I agree, I'm good with the I'm good with the
standard day.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, uh run stop run stop? I yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Listen. The first quarter. We can't give them the plus. Yes,
we can't give them the plus because of the first quarter,
but we can give them the A despite the first quarter.
That's my opinion.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Agreed. They had twenty four rushes for one hundred yards,
even for four point two yards per rush. Still that's
still a lot of still a lot of yards per run.
But this Michigan team, as we talked about in the
in Our Know Year Enemy last week, they they can
Their offensive line makes guys like really pushes the defensive

(37:43):
line and didn't matter who they put in and running
back like they were able to get they're about to
get yards. Yeah, and host was able to keep them
in check.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
And even then, like it's easy to say, oh, but
they they ran for minus eight yards in the second half,
which is it's true, but as Kyle Point didn't rush it,
a lot of that negative yards yardage was due to
sacks and they only attempted to rush the ball five
times in the second half because a they didn't have

(38:15):
the ball basically at all in the second half, and
B when they did, they were desperately far behind and
had to throw the ball.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
So Ohio State ran High State ran forty plays in
the second half, and Michigan had eighteen plays.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
The second half was disgusting. Discussed the half best possible
ways disgusting. The way a battlefield, I don't want to
say that, but you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
A pass rush here, I felt like Osty didn't really
have to rush, didn't really have to send many guys
in because they were they were trying to really just
stop the run, so they didn't really put a lot
of do a lot of pressure. They had the one
that came a lot of containment there. So I'm I'll

(39:05):
say the pass rush, I'll say an a minus. I'll
say an a minus there. But that that's just that's
just my expectations from this defensive line and how well
they've played throughout throughout the year. But and and maybe
a lot of it has to do with just the

(39:26):
the scheme that Ohio State was trying to trying to do.
But you saw, no didn't really see much pressure when
it came to pass on passing plays here. You didn't
see Ohio State really get to the quarterback quickly. But
to Jared's point, they were playing contain pretty much most

(39:50):
of the game, keep everything in front of them.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
They were playing contain when they did lits, as Spikes
points out in the chat, when they did decide to
go after Underwood, they blew up the play. Yeah, they're
playing a lot of complaints contained. They didn't blitz him
a ton because they just wanted him to make decisions,
and they also wanted to maintain the rushing lanes, like

(40:15):
the goal was to stop the rush more than it
was to get after the pass. So I'm comfortable with
an A because the pass rush was there when they
allowed it to be there past coverage. How many exceptional
how many times did their freshman phenom wide receiver Marsh

(40:42):
catch the ball?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Zero? I got even better stat Jared. Not only that,
there's not only attempts. Yeah, he was never targeted.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Yes, but wait there's more. Yeah, they they didn't even
and well Underwood didn't even try to go to him.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
I understand. I understand that no one of any level
of seriousness was saying this, But the Michigan trolls were like, oh,
Marsh is better than blah blah blah blah, blahm my,
I'm I can't even finish the sentence. But you know
Troll's gonnatrol. I suppose marsh is a fine receiver, and

(41:27):
I think he'll be a fine receiver, but he wasn't
on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
There are wide receivers combined for three receptions in this game.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Past interferences that Ohio state in this game, because I
think that.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Was I think I think it was two. Let me
let me look at the penalties real quick here. Uh yeah, two.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
I wouldn't say one was bs B. I will not.
I will not say one was BS. However, I will
say that the one that you guys are calling BS,
I've seen much worse done to both Tate and Smith
this year not called. I'll say that that ball.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Went into that went into the first row on the sideline.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Listen, I understand, don't say exactly, Spikes, he was reading
your message.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I didn't actually, but.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Uh, I'll say this. I'll say this, when you're not
allowed to come back on a comeback, it's gonna make
it look like the ball was totally missed. That that's
and again I'm not saying I'm I am saying that
I have seen much worse done to Smith and Tate

(42:53):
not called this year, but by the letter of the law,
that was pass interference on Matthews mm hmm. And it
was definitely won on Niggy. But I don't think anyone's uh.
I don't think anyone's disputing that.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
No, by the way, I'm sorry, real quick. This isn't
a total aside. This is absolutely total aside. How the
hell do you head bought a referee in the nose
and not get kicked from the game as we're talking
about penalties. How do you head but a referee with
your helmet to his nose and not get it your purpose?

(43:32):
It was not an accident. I don't think anyone saying
it was. If anyone's saying it's an accident, just just
move on from that person. They aren't serious. The ref
said it wasn't egregious enough. I've seen the still frame
of his nose not existing anymore because it was pushed
into the cavity and his skull.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Let's move on to impact play shared.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
I want to talk about the impact play on the referee.
He's nos, Well, we are.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
Talking, oh too funny. What do you do for the
impact place.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Ship? I don't know. We're having fun right now? What
what are there? Weren't a lot of sacks. What were
the TFLs? Not a lot of TFLs, not a lot
of Like, statistically speaking, not a great day on the

(44:36):
impact plays.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Yeah, there was.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Game, but the game was already sealed. I mean, at
least it was targeting. Thank you Spikes. That was forcible
contact to the head. If that's not targeting, I don't
know what is. He didn't lead with the crow, he
did not lead with the crown, but it was forcible

(45:03):
contact to the head of a defenseless referee. Impact plays.
I mean, it's hard to put up a ton of stats.
It's hard to put up a ton of stats when
you literally just aren't on the field that much. Is
the is the reality? Is the real answer to that.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Question, I'm not Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
take any points away, So I'll just I'll just leave
an ah.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I'll put an a minus. But whatever.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Sure and stops Jared without looking at the notes. Unless
you already know the answer, I.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Kind of already know the answer. If you're gonna ask
what I think you're gonna ask, Yeah, what's.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
The third down conversions for Michigan, they.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Were like one for a lot. They were eleven percent
on third downs. Well, what was the actual number, because
it was it was like one for one for nine,
one for nine, Okay, I knew it was one for
a bunch of numbers. Oh for one on fourth downs
as well, right, A plus, a plus all the way across. Yeah,

(46:06):
you know, you're right. Let's let's let's let's let's do that. Also,
you also, if we're talking stops, we also have to
talk about zero touchdowns, three forced field goals, especially when
they were put completely on their heels after the interception
like two sessions. That was that was what saved the

(46:30):
game from feeling like it could have gotten out of control.
They march down the field, Michigan marches down the field.
You stop them to a field goals? Okay, good, good,
bad okay, but you saved it like it started bad,
but you saved it. Then in completion interception, Michigan starts

(46:50):
in the red zone and Ohio State was it a
three and out? I think it was a three and out?
Was it not? Forces Michigan to kick the field goal.
Austin says, yes, it was a three and out. So
you forced him the field goal.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
It was it wasn't it was a seven yard run.
It wasn't in the reds. It wasn't in the red
zone because started off at the thirty nine seven yard run,
twenty one yard run, then a two yard or two
yard then incompletion.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
And then they kicked it. That was the second drive. Yeah, okay,
so the second drive, you still stop them in the
red zone, forced the field goal. There you go. I mean,
that's that's all it takes.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
That's that's that.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
That was maybe the key to the game, if we're
talking about the key series of the game. Going down
six to nothing instead of ten to nothing is huge psychologically,
if nothing else.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Uh so, and don't break right. I think a plus
as well too, only you only, but you'll need let.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
But they ripped a couple big runs. Jordan Marshall only
carried the ball seven times and got sixty one yards.
Kudzell had a twenty two yard run. Marshall's long was
thirty six. Marshall averaged eighty seven. I can't give him

(48:24):
a plus.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Such Marshall thirty six, then two, then twenty one, then two,
then zero, then two, the negative two.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
But he only had seven carries and two of them
went over twenty yards. And Kudzel, who's a walk on.
He's fine, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to
shit on the guys. He's a fine football player. But
he ripped a high state for twenty two yards at
one point.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, and his was five to two four five twenty
two two two one negative five zero zero.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Sure. So like they're doing great on the stops, but
if we're talking don't break, they allowed three big runs.
I can't give them the plus on that. I'll give
them the A. Don't get me wrong, because like in
the passing game, what the longest pass was twenty six yards,

(49:18):
that's fine when the second longest, I believe the second
longest was ten, which was also Jordan Marshall. Yeah, so
they did a great job in the passing game as
far as don't break, but they allowed too many big
runs early for me to give them an A plus
and don't break. I mean, I can change, We're still

(49:39):
gonna do an A.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I was gonna say a plus even like you can
I can say this, yes, you can. You can say
yesterday had three big runs that went for twenty plus yards,
But I look at it too, It's like, well, they
only had three three rushing plays shared that were six
yards or more.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
That's valid. I mean, you're valid. Difference of a pigon Again,
I'm not I'm not trashing them. I'm still giving them
an A for the record, I'm still giving them an A.
And if Spikes is agreeing with you, he's going with
an A plus.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yep. All right, we gotta take it. We gotta take
our second a break real quick, and then we'll give
our overall thoughts of the team again. These slopcasts dot

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Also, shout out the Spikes down in the chat once again.
I know we said this on our last episodes for
upping his Patreon contribution. Spikes, you are appreciated overall. Let's uh,
we're all Kyle, it's it's it's a highest StatET Michigan.
I'm not upset at the fact that it felt like

(51:43):
the week to do it, especially since it's called the
beat Michigan Tier.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Hey, you know what, actually, spikes might be the MVP
just saying all right, but but okay, we're super over
on time. Let's let's hit these. Let's hit these quickly,
all right?

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Endgame coaching A plus all the way across, all the way,
all the way.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Again what I said during the in game coaching of
the offense, and again I mean we gave and we
gave the in game coaching for the defense eight pluses
all the way across. You know, it was a rough
first quarter, or at least a first eighth. The first
eighth was bad, stayed poised, didn't panic, hourt the uh ah,

(52:31):
I said the horseshoe, the big house was rocking, stayed composed,
did what needed to be done.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Motivation, Yeah the copy and paste.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
No lack of motivation or effort in this one whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (52:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
An execution, I'll sit, I'll just I'll back off into
say a solid A on the execution side, I'm.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Gonna go plus. I mean, we're not gonna do a
pluses all the way across, but I I will say,
I will still say a plus here, spikes, We're gonna
go with you, however, and say.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
All right, discipline Jared.

Speaker 6 (53:12):
Okay, okay, I'm going to write I'm gonna write hate
and we're gonna move on.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
A lot of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
We're not we're not talking about it. We're moving on.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
The offense only had one penalty, Jared, The offense only
had one penalty.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Was that one penalty or one enforced penalty?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Well, they had two penalties. One was enforced. They had
a false start, which was which was that fourth, which
was the which was the fourth and one at the
one and then there was that false start and then
that forced State to kick the field all right. Uh,
special teams fielding was two for two, two for two

(54:09):
on good enough field goals, and Joe McGuire had himself up.
Pretty good game, pretty good punting as well too.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Uh. Tithun was trying to get them to commit personal
fouls and get ejected, and they didn't take the bait.
They kind of took the bait they did. They didn't
escalate to the point, all right, Sorry, I'm gonna I'm
gonna stop for a second. We're going full screen again.

(54:39):
I know we're over, but it's Michigan Week. Who cares?
I like, I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say two
things that might sound contradictory, they aren't. I appreciate did
some of the players wanted to take some flags to
the fifty yard line, and I appreciate that Ryan Day
stopped them. I I appreciate both of these things. I

(55:05):
think the players had the maybe not right. I don't
mind some of the players wanting to take some flags
to the fifty yard line. I don't And the players
that went to the fifty yard.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Line exactly.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Exactly who we expected who would do it. I'll say that.
And also I appreciate Ryan Day for actually taking control
of his team and and and and getting them to
the locker room and to the section where the fans were.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Did you see what happened before that happened.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Trying to stop a fight from happening.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
That's a leader right there to say, hey, like.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Win with humility and all of that.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, like, hey, you guys need to go. We don't
want things to escalate. I will make sure no flags. Yeah,
come here. Yeah, yeah, and so and so more more
respectfully accepted that than and Ryan Day. Ryan Day was like,
screw you, Hey, guys, come over.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
That would have been great. No, it wouldn't have been
It wouldn't been great. It wouldn't have been great if
Ryan Day did that. It would have been great if
one of the players sort of broke contentment and did it.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Yeah. But yeah, A plus A plus the defense or
that special teams didn't.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Come out of a fight from midfield. You're absolutely right, Spikes,
which is why Ryan Day did the right thing. But
also I appreciate the players who felt the need to
take revenge. I also appreciate them.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Looked good return Brandan Inness looked good returning punts too.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Yeah, And this is look plus, and this looked really
has has really looked good the second half of the year.
I understand he's kind of in a like a Williams
situation where he's behind two great wide receivers and he's
not getting a ton of attention or a ton of

(57:08):
touches as a result, and that that's tough, I'm sure.
But he's making great use of the touches he is getting.
And this is this is just me giving Brandon Innes
his his love and his his respect that he absolutely deserves.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Yeah, A plus for me too. All right, turnovers, uh h?
Team with one turnover?

Speaker 1 (57:37):
High States was worse.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
A States was worse because three.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
The game did theirs?

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Yeah, I will yeah, I'll say see, I'll say.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
C I'm doing a D.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
The only reason I don't do n F is because
it was I'm gonna do a D plus. It was
only one turnover and they bounced back great from it,
so I'll say that, okay.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
All right?

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Overall eight for the offense overall grading four hundred and
nineteen yards against this Michigan defense and rush for one
hundred and eighty six yards.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Also bad. First drive, Everything after that was gravy A plusus.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Yeah, a plus. And I'm still sticking to it, Jared,
I know that you're like you sit in the know
your enemy. Oh it doesn't matter. Austin one hostate one
on the ground, like the team that the team that
wins no the rushing battle, wins the game, and they
have since the two thousand game.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
You motherfucker. Listen to me. What I said during Temy,
what I said during your Enemy also applies. I said
that whoever has the most rushing yards wins is self fulfilling,
which is why Ohio State, who was leading in the

(59:08):
second half, ran the ball thirty one times and Michigan,
who was losing in the second half, only ran the
ball five times. Is it that whoever runs the best
wins or is it whoever wins runs the best. I'm
just saying, as I was saying last week, you cannot
confuse results and statistics like that. It's all I'm saying.

(59:34):
That's all I said last week. That's all I'm saying now,
all right, that's why that's that happened. Ce Spikes is
on my side this.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Time, all right. And defense, I gotta give a plus
two zero touchdowns again, first time since two thousand and seven.
So the first time in eighteen years that Michigan did
not score a touchdown in this game here and only
allowed Michigan in the red zone once all game.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Yeah, aplus, yeah, A plus first first quarter. Can't give
them the pluses all across, but I'm still going to
give them the plus yeah overall break? What does this break?
A streak of too long to mention. You win the game,
you beat your rival, you finish the season. We're going

(01:00:20):
to pluses. You finish the season, the regular season undefeated.
We're going pluses all the way across the board on
this one. You defeated Michigan, you completed a perfect regular season.
There's no discussion here. There's no debate here. It is
a pluses all the way across. H all right, and that,
Kyle is our report card.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
All is well in this world.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Listen. I do I do really want to I do
really really really want to beat Indiana And I do
really really because Ryan Day has not Ohio State has
not won the Big Ten in a while, it's been
a while since. That's not acceptable. Mm hmmm, greed, So
gotta go to Indianapolis. You gotta take care of business.

(01:01:05):
Anything after that, however, is just powdered sugar on the doughnut.
That's just turkey on the gravy. It's great, I love it.
It's not needed. The goal of this year was number
one beat Michigan and number two win the Big Ten.
Anything that happens after that, they don't get. I want
to win the national title. I want to go back
to back. It doesn't happen very often. Don't get me wrong.

(01:01:29):
When was the last time Ohio as Ohio State ever
won back to back national titles? You'd have to if
it ever happened, you'd have to go back to Woody
Hayes days. And I don't even did Woody Hayes do it? Kyle?
Can you look at it, Kyle, look it up. Look
it up real quick. I don't know if High State's
ever done that, and they're certainly poised to do. They
have not. Kyle is shaking his head.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
High State is seventy. It was seventy and sixty eight,
what was it, like the closest ones? Yeah, and then
they had and then they had like early early on,
like fifty four, fifty seven, sixty one. They just went
on a on a streak.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
There wasn't sixty eight the questionable one? Like, isn't the
sixty eight the one? That's kind of if he if
I remember correctly, it doesn't matter. We don't need to
talk about that right now.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Point they were ten and o.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
That year including the bowl game? Or is that the
year they lost to USC and the Rose Bowl?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
No, they beat USC in that way?

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Okay, okay, never mind, that's not the one. Then there
there's one. There is one Ohio State national title claim
that is a little questionable. That's not it apparently, point
is Ohio State is apparently never won it back to
back national title. I want that. I want that a lot. What, Yes,
spikes they would have had fed Zeke in twenty fifteen

(01:02:57):
against Party, maybe at least you get in the playoff
and you get a chance. At least you get a chance.
That team, quite frankly, was on a was kind of
That team was not all there from a motivation standpoint
all year. For being honest, I don't know if they
would have run the playoffs. They had the talent to
do it, I don't know if they had the drive
to do it. But that's a different conversation for a

(01:03:18):
different day. This team has the drive to do it,
this team has the talent to do it. This team
can do it. But I'm giving this entire season a
pluses across the board. If they beat Indiana, no matter
what happens after that, they get an A plus for
the season. Just for the regular season. This isn't this

(01:03:38):
isn't a plus season. I'm giving them eight pluses across
the board. If they beat Indiana next week, anything after
that awesome, great cool. But I want to I want
to beat Michigan, and I want to beat and I
want to win the Big Ten. And one of those
is accomplished. That those were the goals for this year

(01:04:02):
national championship would be nice. And I firmly believe Ohio
State's the best team in the country right now. Yep,
I firmly believe that. So that's not me saying I
don't care about the playoffs or I don't care about
the national title, because believe me, I do, I really
really do. But I'm on. And this isn't like coach speak,

(01:04:26):
right This isn't like, oh, well, we're just worried about
the next game right now, We're just worried about winning
the Big Ten title and whatever happens in the playoff.
This isn't me coach speaking. I don't coach speak. Don't
I don't talk scared. I will tell you exactly how
I feel, and exactly how I feel right now. Is
I really I truly only give a fuck about the

(01:04:48):
Big ten right now?

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
They opened as a five and a half point favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Five and a half?

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Really five and a half?

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I was expecting more, all right, So Kyle early preview
to our Thursday episode or I guess our Wednesday episode,
that is not enough, right, I'm taking guy. Isn't that
one of our rules? Is it one of our sloop

(01:05:22):
cast rules? If you have a chance to take Ohio
State or Bama, and we might need to adjust that
with Saban retired, if you get a chance to take
Ohio State or Bama as less than a touchdown favorite,
you take it. Every time I'm thinking that, I'm taking that.
The Indiana blows, Indiana blows.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
All right, anything else, Jared.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I'm asking you that anything Kyle's corner shout out to
the man to the mascot himself. We didn't play the
flag mid midfield, but we got this.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Shout out to Brutus, who spent more time in the
end zone than Michigan.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Has all game. Hell have I not heard that yet?

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Shout out to brutus.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Write script Ohio right outside the end zone.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
You know what's fantastic about that?

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
And of course and of course crosses out the M
in the end zone as well too. Just just pure cinema,
pure cinema, there, Jared cinema.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
You know what's fantastic about this more than anything else,
I mean more than just everything about it, more than
everything about it, more than Okay, so once youain we're
talking about powdered sugar on the doughnut, right, we're talking
about gravy on the turkey. Okay, Sorry, sorry to like
bust everyone's illusions of brutus Buckeye. But if you don't

(01:07:00):
already know this, that's one of the male cheerleaders. The
male cheerleaders take their turns being brutus. If you don't
already know that, that's that's that's that's the man behind
the that's the man behind the mask. He's not one
of the band guys, No, he's not. He practiced this,

(01:07:23):
he didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
One just knows how to do this, especially since you
know the vision through the head. Can't be fantastic. He
didn't just do this. This was practiced. They saw a
snow in the forecast and they prepared for this and

(01:07:45):
the execution since we're doing Carlington Grade A plus is
across the board.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
I'm I did come up with this, but I thought
it was perfect. Great Footsman's ship by Brutus there. It
was really well done, like incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
This was practiced. There's zero chance in hell, all due
respect to the man in the mask, all due respect,
there's zero chance in hell he just wing this. Someone
came up with this idea and they practiced it, and
I love them for it. Yeah, I love them for it.

(01:08:28):
And it's too it's too much to fit in the
little Discord sticker. Discord stickers have to be five hundred
and twelve K, which is, as far as gifts are concerned,
is nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
This clip goes on to show a Michigan I don't
know security field person I don't knowically swiping it away.
It's unfortunately too long to make it to the video,
but just panic, like I've not seen a grounds person

(01:09:05):
do that much panic work since the Big ten title game.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Yes, try to fill in the fill in the pebbles
in there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Since the field in Indianapolis got damaged.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Uh, all right, that's it. Just shout out to beards.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
I didn't prepare music for today, so I guess we
did two calgarage. We did two calgarage last week. We're
gonna keep doing two calgarage because hey, why not. So
with all that being said, I'd like to encourage everyone
to drink local music. Listen I said, drink local music.
Hold on, I'm gonna have another glass real quick. Listen

(01:09:48):
to local music, drink local beer, and of course I
can't do it. We're going to listen to local music,
drink local beer, and of course sports local podcasters. Once again,
this is two group.

Speaker 4 (01:10:06):
There's a TV set on pb amplifier around lying in bed,
watching the Outsiders, saying thanks for resking, but things have
never been worse. It's Niko see and losing and sorry
you've been too.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
And since that he came off the.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Ma sauce, who wander a Beacon zoo ponder the thought
of just selling it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
On dury, no shames, hiding.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Nothing, walking away, walking away and trusting and trust, giving
out and walking away. Well, now there's a good song.

(01:11:11):
Explaining on my walk the instrument ultimately chop falling, no name,
scattered all over my floor, sad songer pitches, a fell
gravely crass, and undreds of salt ain't finish, Ship and

(01:11:32):
a child aplication getting heart zippy, no.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
Their name, no shame, and just giving up and wilking away,
walking away and just giving up, just giving up and
walking away.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
The name of shame, and just giving up, and wilding
it away, walking away, just giving up, just giving up
and walking away, the bank up, shading back

Speaker 4 (01:12:52):
Watching the outside, some things were resting and looking things out,
