Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
We play some good teamsmow. We just playing a couple
of games. Smart, but it's probably the best team in
our age division tomorrow, real age division. You know, all
these people, we need to do a podcast, just a
real quick podcast US three. Since we all have kids
that play sports, about these dumb ass parents that want
to play their kids down. And you think your kids
good because they playing playing kids two years younger than them. Yeah,
(02:18):
like you think, yo, you think old little Johnny is good?
He fourteen playing against an eleven year old. Get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
A sixteen year old was playing against my child when
he was a twelve year old. Came up to me
after the game. He said, Dad, how you think I did?
I said, too bad?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Right? He said what are these and he pulled his
shirt up.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I said, son, those are cleat marks.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He got step out.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Sixteen year old was stepping on all of them twelve
year olds. They thought he was good man, But I'm
with you there. There are those stories plague. I was
going in your area.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Man, oh man, everything's going good man. It's a nice,
bright sunny day on the ground those but it's mad
brick son. That's like, say, wait, man, that is crazy.
It's mad bricks, like they say the city. Man, I see, man,
(03:11):
it is. It's a little crispy, but you know, he man,
we here the sun's out, the sun shining. We had
a little blizzard and it has all bad rain. It's
been in bad all week but man, and cleared up
for the weekend. So uh, hey, man, we take what
we can get at this point.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I'll tell you this man is coming there next week,
well tomorrow, I believe, for the Pin Strike Bowl.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So he'll be around. Make sure y'all y'all link up.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Uh And speaking of sun shining and bowl games and games,
the college football Playoff is underway. Last night we saw
Oklahoma take on Alabama. Now everybody was talking, we already.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Seen this match up. Nobody wants to see this match
up again. No, Oklahoma's gonna spank them this, that and
the other. And they were spanking. They got out to
a real quick start. They were down multiple h multiple possessions.
But some way, somehow, Alabama found the way to get
back in the game and not only get back in
(04:10):
the game, but make it a good game, a memorable game,
and won in advance into the second round of the playoff,
where they will now face and a number one rated
Indiana Hoosiers team. I find that to be a very
very interesting matchup coming coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We'll get to that obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
We got Miami about to take on A and M
as we heard Isaac Loewen, Loan Kron and and and
by the way, White Claus Isaac. Uh, that's heart seltzer.
That's that's what he was trying to smuggle in was
some heart seltzer. So anyway, we got JMU taking on
Oregon as well, we got Tulane taken on Old Miss.
We are about to be full swing into the college
(04:54):
football playoff. I say this, and I'm gonna let y'all
have it. I think Kaylin de Bor saved his job
by saving that game and those players saving that game
last evening.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Big win for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They move on, but they still have a big test
in one of the hottest teams, if not the hottest
team in all.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Of college football. What was y'alls take away from the game?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I'm like you, man, I thought it was a great game.
I picked Bama to win, and the reason was the
first game, Unklahoma outgained them almost two to one yards
and the game was super super close, and so I said, Oh,
they're not gonna outgain them like that again. They're not
gonna shut Alabama down like that again. And at the
(05:37):
outset of the game, it looked like, oh, it was
about to be the same story written again. Alabama just
showed a lot of heart, man grit, resilience. It's not
easy to be down seventeen zero and still have that
forty two to say, man, all we need is a score.
All we needed is a score. And seventeen on fourth
(06:00):
and two. I don't even know who seventeen was. I
feel bad not knowing his name, but he breaks that tackle,
gets an end zone on fourth down, and I was like, Okay,
this is what they needed.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
This is exactly what they needed.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And once they got those first points on the board,
they just started playing downhill Man, and you say, the
board saved his job. The people that Alabama need to realize, Man,
you're gonna fire the boor and go hire who who
you're gonna hire that's better who you're gonna hire that's
better than him, Like they want to recapture the Nick
(06:36):
Saban era. Nick Saban left because of this new era.
He knew the resources that Alabama. Alabama's a hell of
a football program, great history, but if you don't have
the financial resources to outbit like kids are not going
to school because it's Alabama. They going to school because
of what you're paying them now. And so that's just
(06:59):
what it is. Why you think Texas Tech and the
college football playoff because of the history of Texas Tech,
because of what guy's been paid. Why you think David
Bailey is at Texas Tech. David Bailey Southern California kid,
And so understand that you are not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
The program that Nick Saban had. You're not.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Your backups aren't better than everybody else's starters any longer,
and so every game is going to be a dogfight.
Zab and Brown. I thought that may have been the
player of the game to pick six. That boy is
special man. He's specially been starting since he was a
true freshman at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's not easy to do at all.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
But kudos and Kevin the Boar and the Alabama coaching
staff and specifically the players man to keep those guys
together down seventeen to.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Zero on the road. That's not easy to do.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Nope, no, yeah, I mean, going into this game, I
really thought that the Oklahoma defense man, especially playing at
home against Alabama, the way that they struggled against Georgia
being able to run the football, and you know, Alabama
really didn't get the running game going until they needed
it needed it the most, like in the fourth quarter
going in and scoring Rutch in touchdown. But I didn't
(08:19):
think that that this offense, Todd Simpson will go into
Oklahoma and throw for three hundred and sixties I believe
with three hundred and sixty seven yards.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I didn't see that coming. I've got to watch the
Alabama in person this year.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Man.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I think I think they are one of the elite
defenses and all the coach and all the college football.
But uh, my man, Ryan Williams disappeared last night and
my guy lotzib Brooks from Melville, New Jersey, that's came
out and had him a party last night.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Man, congress to him. Him and my son played football
growing up. Man.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yeah, he's a New Jersey kid for Melville and he
went out there and had two touchdowns yesterday. Uh in
one of his on one of the biggest stages that
that that he can go out and compete on. And
for some reason, man, uh, you know, Ryan Williams hasn't
been you know, playing well consistent man, and I be
least leading the country and drop balls. Especially off of
(09:19):
the season that he had last year. I think everybody
just expected him to come out and explode this year.
But he has, uh, you know, regressed as a as
a player, and Lotza got his opportunity, went out there
and shine man. And but I did pick Oklahoma to
win this game. I'm not gonna front uh, just based
off of the showing that they had against against Georgia,
(09:39):
I just didn't think that they were going to be
able to go in uh, especially when they got down
seventeen zero. I'm saying to myself, I said, no, Oklahoma's
going to blow him out. But uh, somehow they managed
to come back and be able to win that football game.
But when they got down seventeen zero, I thought it
was over. So kudos to Alabama being able to go
(09:59):
on the road in a hostile environment and come out
with a victory. But hey man, Indiana's waiting next. So
that's the game I will want to see Alabama Indiana.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I think it's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Let me ask you all this question. I said at
the beginning introducing the topic that Kaylin de boor he basically,
in my estimation, probably saved his job. I think if
he goes out after the showing in the SEC Championship,
I think if he goes out and they ended up
getting blown out the way that it looked like it
(10:34):
was going to be early on in the game. I
don't know that Kaylen Debor survives. I'm not sure I
would say I would lean against it because it just
seems as though Alabama fans are maybe you know, they're
Alabama fans. They're used to winning, and they're used to
things being a certain way. I get that because I
experience that every single year with our team. In terms
(10:58):
of the comparisons of the coaches to the coaches that
were there before, I can't even imagine what it would
be like for a coach at Alabama post Nick Saban
his time there. Does he have to win against Indiana?
Or did he secure hisself by getting out of the
first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
This is not an easy road.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
In fact, it could be considered maybe the most difficult
road to getting to the college football playoff championship game.
Did he buy himself another year, another year, two, whatever?
I guess you can never say in every two anymore,
you just.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Say another year. But did he buy himself time?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Did you just say this is the easiest road to get.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, No, it's probably the hardest road to get to
to the to the to the college football championship right,
probably the hardest road, I believe it is.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
When you're the eight nine game, and that's what you get, right.
Some people say Alabama have been in it with three losses.
A lot of people will say that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
People keep saying that they wanted to see Notre Dame
in that.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Game you lose to Florida State, and Florida State was
an awful football team this year.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Awful. I don't care. It was game number one.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
A lot of people will say Obama didn't deserve it,
but Alabama, who are you gonna hire us better than
Kaitlyn de bor Who? And so this world of college
football is not what it was five six years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It just isn't. And so did he save his job? Yes?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
And if he didn't save his job, the people at
Alabama that are in charge of that, if he needs
to win this game, they shouldn't even be in a
position to determine that because they don't know what they're doing.
That's how I view that. And so seventeen zero, man,
I don't think anybody that plays sports when you down
seventeen zero on the game of football on the road
(12:55):
against a really good team, that's not easy. That's not easy.
And so yes, he saved his job. And I actually
believe I like their chances against Indiana. I really do.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Uh Hey, man, Indiana for real, I'm just gonna me that.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I know that, Eugene, But.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I think one of the main reasons why I'm going
to pick Indiana not be just because they're a better
football team on paper on the football field. But now
you get you have given Kurt Signetti and that staff,
uh game tape for them to draw up a scheme
what they want to do. Man, Signetti is great at
(13:42):
game planning, so now he has Now he has a
week another week to game plan against Alabama going into
this game, and I just think that's one of the
main reasons why why they won't will not be able
to beat Indiana going to this game.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Hey, you did see plex that Indiana law their best
D line and celebrating the win against All State.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, I saw that. I saw that he was jumping
up giving that in the end zone and whatever the case,
b B. But I think they'll be able to overcome
that defensively. I just think this coaching staff man has
been doing a hell of a job all year versus
everybody that they've played, I mean, the record speaks for itself,
and I just don't think they'll be able to be Indiana.
(14:24):
But just like you were saying, Tju, it all depends
what Alabama wants from that football program. I don't believe
there's a better coach out there, better than the boar. Uh.
You know, coaching at Alabama. Does you want to leave Alabama?
I think that's gonna be the question. But I don't
think any coach in their mind is going to pick
(14:45):
Michigan over coaching at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I mean, they're two great programs.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
But I think I think it'll it will hurt Alabama
because I believe the whole coaching staff with the boy
is probably going to leave me and go with him
to Michigan. But you I just believe that Alabama, you
get better players and recruits versus him going to Michigan
and trying to rebuild that program. So I just don't
(15:10):
believe that he's going anywhere. He's gonna be there for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, I'll say that, Signetti. He's a former Alabamian coach,
and I don't think that. I feel like the only
chance in a game like this would be the lack
of experience of being a top team for Indiana. It
could be brand, it could be brand intimidation, it could
(15:38):
be program history intimidation. And I think we all have
been a part of games where you you know, you
go into it and you're like, dang, like, that's them
right there.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And you either decide that it's.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Them right there and we're gonna make a name out
for ourselves out of this game, or you're gonna be like,
once they hit you in the mouth, you're gonna be like, dang,
Like they really do play the way that people like
we saw it, or people talk about them and this,
that and the other.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But I believe that that familiarity that Signette has, I
don't think that this is going to be an impact
on the game. The mystique of what Alabama football represents.
I mean, you see him come out of that that tunnel,
and you got to think about, like, Okay, well they're here.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Jesse orders Staid used to always say when we was
in the locker room, he'd be like Avar. I'd be like,
what's up, Jay. He'd be like, Uh, you know they
over there right what you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
They in the visitors locker room. You know they're gonna
come out for the game.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I mean I used always think that was pretty cool
because right in that moment, I'd be like, he crazy,
But you know he's right, and you know what, you
know what, you know what My response was, Aja, we
in this locker room right now too, and they about
to see us come out.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And in my mind, that's a mentality.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So I think it depends on what mentality they're going
to bring to the table and how that's going to look.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Hey, listen this up on Game This Fox Sports Radio.
We off to a quick start.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You hurt plexicolude to the Michigan job and what that
could look like Dillingham Well, well, Plux said in the
pre notes of the show.

And I know people was going crazy over talking about
(21:42):
Penn State and.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Oh they're relate to the party. What do you do?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
This is being handled horribly blase blah jah blah uh.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
But this is later than even the coaching hires that
have needed to take place before now. And obviously it
comes through controversy and through scandal. But what do you
do if you're Michigan right now, what do you do
in terms of going after a coach? I mean, you'd
assume it's a big enough program where it's one of
(22:14):
the biggest Obviously they could go get pretty much whoever
they want to go get, even from the pro ranks.
How you guys see this playing out?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Man, Michigan, if you look at the just the athletic
program over the last well, let's just say three four years, right,
you had an incident with Juwan Howard back we're talking
basketball right now. Okay, that's basketball. We're talking basketball. That
(22:48):
didn't go well. You look at the Sharon Moore incident.
You know in twenty twenty two, I believe two I
believe you know what Their co offensive coordinators were, Sharmore
and Matt Wise.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Matt Wise he got he's in jail right now, right.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
He's in jail because he was hacking into females their
private information, pictures and things that those were the two
co officive coordinators.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Think about that.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
So from a just an organizational standpoint, that the athletic
department in Michigan what they're in And so if you're
the AD, you cannot blow this. You better take your
time because you are the guy that ultimately is signing
off on all this and make another wrong mistake. Your
(23:49):
job is done and your job should probably be on
the chopping block.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Now because you were in charge. He might not be
there either. You were in charge of the people. Forget
about that. I didn't talk about the Conna stallions going on.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Another people's sidelines still in the like stealing size, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Harball got suspended.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Self imposed suspension from the school board.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Sharan Moore also got suspended.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He had the miss games last year and this season,
and so there's a lot going on at the University
of Michigan.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
That's number one.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
If you are a top, top coach, why and if
you're a top coach, you had a top school, why
would you leave your school to go to Michigan. Yes,
I get the history of Michigan, but that's a long
time ago. That's a long time ago. Yeah, Well, they
won a NUTS championship with Harball. Yet Harball is an anomaly.
(24:48):
He's a great coach. Everybody knows that. You the reason
they were able to get over the matt Wise and
what he did and then is because Harball is a
great coach and he was winning bunch of ball games,
and he was bringing in great recruits and he was
developing them. If you're not doing that, your leasha is short.
Because if Sharon Moore had beat Ohio State, maybe things
(25:12):
get swept under the rug. Who knows, We'll never know,
But who wants to go to Michigan. Because Plexico said
this earlier you're not getting the type of recruits at
Michigan that you're getting at Ohio State. You're not getting
the type of recruits at Michigan that you're getting out
of Alabama. You're not getting the type of recruits in
Michigan that you're getting at LSU Georgia and all these
other schools. No, no, no, no no. And so if
(25:39):
you are one of them ones, one of them ones
is a top coach, why would you leave a great
situation where you at to go to Michigan and you
have no idea what it's going to be.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Hey, with everything that has basically transpired at that school
down the street from Michigan, everything that's happened, I just
believe that it's lost its oral I really do. Moving forward,
and we've commented on it, and we've said this that
(26:13):
I just don't see kids, you know, wanting to go
to Michigan the way that they used to. Everybody wanted
to go to Michigan, you know when you were growing
up and as kids, and you wanted to put that
blue and whatever they call that colored mazing gold or
whatever in the age whatever. But I just think if
you're a head coach, you have to go in there
(26:37):
and basically dismantle the whole thing, bring your whole entire staff,
and going into a brand new season, you're already behind
the eight ball because basically spring ball starts in one
hundred and twenty days. So now you're going to go
in and take over program with players that you really
don't know because you didn't recruit them and you didn't
(26:59):
bring them in and they're already there. So if you're
the athletic director moving forward, I think the best thing
for Michigan right now going into this season because you
don't even know if Bryce Underwood is going to say
because he may go into the transfer portal base off
for everything that that has happened. So what are you
going to do as the athletic director for Michigan going
(27:21):
into the season. I just believe you the safest thing
for them to do is basically to uh to hire
in house or whoever. So you think that that Baff
Beff Pogi, Yeah, I do, And Bef has money.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Beff. Biff is a money guy. Biff.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I I know Biff from back when he was you know,
in in the Baltimore area. He was working with Saint
Francis built, helped build up Saint Francis to where they
were at. He was also part of good Counsel. He's
got a uh, he's got a pretty solid background in
terms of being able to program build, I mean, and
he's helped he's helped Michigan for for quite a long time.
(27:57):
I think Biff would be interesting. It would be an
your sting higher as an inter room higher, just because
I believe you probably keep your your players. You know,
you keep your players if you.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
They they ain't never gonna They'll never do that. They'll
never do that because the name, I think it's the
best said, he will get no recruits. You're really gonna
be developing. He'll really got to show you, really, you
really got to show you a Kurt signatty and get
a bunch of three stars and teach and developed.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
He would get talking about I'm just talking about I'm
not just talking about foot this one season he's recruits.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, yeah, you bringing a brand new coach man.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You're talking about going in there and bringing a whole
new defense and offense to these players for a scheme
that you're trying to run for players that you don't
even know that you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Even know them.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
So I just think for one year, you go with Biff,
you keep the same offense and defense, and you go win.
Nobody is expecting for Michigan to go out and win
the Big Big Ten anyway, uh in this coming season.
So I think the best way is that the South
is not to throw the whole season away.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
You expect to competitive house went they had nine and
three this year. They went nine and three this year.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, they didn't have a bad year. They if they
take their players, they could be competitive.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah, what happens if they go eight and four seventy five?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I think that's still a competitive year under the.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Certain instance Michigan.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And and here's what I here's what I say to that.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
And just going back to even with what Penn State
ended up doing, you know, this same conversation was taking
place with with Terry Smith. And Terry Smith to me
is way more like a not a not a dig
at at Biff. But I think Terry Smith is a
way more qualified and way more like impactful guy to
have hired to major your head coach. That didn't happen,
(29:59):
but they saw the value and it understood the importance
of Terry Smith and his presence and being there, like
you just were alluding to plex and they kept him,
you know, and they found a way to keep them.
I mean they they they gave him an extension that
was was very very you know, it was a deal
(30:19):
you didn't want to turn down, basically like it it was.
It was a very impactful deal. I think that that's
what Michigan has to be thinking there. There are probably
a few people within those doors that have a great relationship,
great rapport with those players and with those players parents, and.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
And Biff is one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I mean, like I said, I know a lot about him,
I know and a lot about what he does behind
the scenes. And he's he did it. He did an
excellent job of doing it in high school. He's done
an excellent job of it at Michigan. He was a
part of that build out with with uh with Harbaugh
and those guys. So I just say this, I think
it's a it's a it's it's still a most prestigious
(31:02):
college football program.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, I'll defer.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
To y'all on on how y'all feel about if recruits
want to go there anymore. I think the jumpman I
think the jumpman idea of it, and and that it's
Michigan and what Michigan football has represented. They're not too
far off from a national title. They're not too far
away from it. I think they can still build it.
That's not too far. What two three years, two three years,
(31:28):
it's not that far.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, And it'll be good for a while. I
think we know Ohio's will continue to be better. So
it's an uphill battle if you want to win.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Is going to be in the.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
USC number one recruiting class in the country.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
That's something we'll see.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, it's it's definitely a very competitive industry. But
if there's one school that has the the value, brand
value to be able to climb back in it, it's
probably Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So anyways, we.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Keep going back. I sorry, I know we got to
go to updates. Go ahead, I'm sorry, go sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You sure make your point.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I'm just saying, hey, this next three in Michigan, it's
Harball's once Harball left in the history. These kids don't
care about the history. They care about what you offering me.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It is a different lady period, but they do offer
a lot at Michigan.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I low, it's white Claw.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
It's hard going to be off for a lot.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Going to need your expert analysis on that very important
aspect of this college football playoff coming up moments from now,
so stay tuned for that. Right now, we've got two
forty six left in the first quarter, and seven seed
Texas A and M and ten seed Miami are scoreless.
Both teams punted on their opening possessions. On Texas A
and M's second possession, they got down to the Miami
(32:50):
twenty nine yard line, had a second down and nine,
but Marcel Reid was stripped by Miami's keyante Scott Armando
Blunt recovered the fumble for the Hurricane, so they've got
it back and a time out of the field right
now as they set up for a third down and
six around midfield. Two minutes and forty six seconds left
to play in the first quarter, no score between Miami
(33:12):
and Texas A and M. And again the Hurricanes coming
up with a third down and six after this time
out at the Miami forty five yard line. And yes,
there have already been plenty of highlights off the field
as reported by the Texas A and M campus police.
In the last few minutes alone, a miner was ejected
from the stadium for having two corps lights in the
(33:34):
front of their overalls. Another miner was sighted and ejected
from the stadium for having seven fireball shooters in their pockets.
Speaker 10 (33:44):
Your thoughts fellas.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They was trying to get it in, you know, they
was trying to have some fun. They forgot themselves, and
I don't understand how they would think that they would
get through security or get through whatever it was that
they was one the way they were doing it. But hey,
you know what, they tried to win a game today.
They just happened to They happen to.
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Lose seven of them. Risk is a risk is part
of sports.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
And finally, in the last reward in the last few moments,
another underage fan was cited for being in possession of
something called a strawberry rita.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
Your thoughts, I mean, I mean, I'm no expert had one.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
I'm no expert, But there's some pride in being ejected
for having seven fireball shooters. Maybe if you're ejected for
having a strawberry rita, I mean strawberry rita's in college football.
I just don't know if they mix as well as
some fireball shooters.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It sounds like your nickname you gave your homegirl in college.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
But hey, I'm not I've been away to remove from
college for quite some time, you know what I mean.
But anyway, yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
We gotta to do the bit.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
We gotta be doing squeak. You know, something's funny if
levard does the squeak.
Speaker 9 (34:55):
Anyway, coming over at three point thirty eastern, eleven Sea
two Laid plays at six seed Old Miss Tonight at
seven thirty eastern. It'll be five seed Oregon hosting twelve
seed James Madison. Multiple outlets reported earlier today McKenny dillingham
has signed a new five year contract to keep him
as the head coach at Arizona State. He, of course,
had been rumored as a candidate for the Michigan job.
Thank you for that college football playoff analysis.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
No one can get analysis like this anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Back to you about it, Thanks Hilo. We appreciate that,
and we appreciate you guys out there listening during this
holiday season as well. Again, make sure you guys are
shopping safely, being safe out here, being mindful of one
another on the highways.
Speaker 3 (35:32):

Speaker 2 (35:33):
We're gonna take a quick break on the other side
of the break, we're going to continue the conversations.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
We're going to talk some more football.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know, people's in seasons coming to an end, people
are not making the playoffs, and people are getting surgeries
as all of that has taking place. We want to
talk about some of that on the other side of break.
This is up on Game and this is Fox Sports Radio. Hey,
listen up. A hotly debated topic in the hot sauce world. Well,
it's who is this this year's MVP. And I'm not
(36:02):
talking players people, I'm talking poores. You know, most valuable poor,
that's right. I know who mine is. The most valuable
poor is the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Here's why it's my MVP because this sauce has shown
me what is really made of and that's three hard
hitting ingredients, pepper's, vinegar, and salt. It's the perfect balance
of heat and flavor. Now that's an MVP material deal, if.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
What makes my most Valuable poor different from any old
poor is the name, the value of it. Other hot
sauces are so second string, But the original Louisiana Hot
Sauce On Game day. It'll dress any of your favorite
eats with ease. Just drizzle it on your nachos, your burgers, pizza, gumbo,
(36:51):
you name it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
The taste is gonna score.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Finally, just take a look at its record for almost
one hundred years. Its flavor is undefeated. A tasty Louisiana
legacy like that deserves the most Valuable poor title, don't
you think?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
In fact, that's why the original Louisiana Hot Sauce is
not just the MVP. It's my m VP. If you
know what I mean. That's hot sauce. Yeah, that's Louisiana
Hot sauce. It's the original Louisiana Hot Sauce. Make sure

(38:11):
fellas before we get to the end of this hour.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
We got a short segment, but.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Uh, well, you know what, let's talk about Travis Kelsey.
We'll do We'll do Micah and Patrick in hour two
when we bring in Cuffs the legend who will be
in from that Dude Show an hour two Travis Kelsey,
he's saying he's going to play the final three games.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Obviously the Chiefs have been eliminated. What's I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Is this a sign of Kelsey's wanting to continue to play?
Is this the end and he's just gonna play it out?
I mean, obviously he had.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
The big news.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
He's engaged, He's marrying one of the biggest performers in
the world. What you guys think is what you think
it's all about with Kelsey and and continuing to play
the last three games.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Oh, he should play. Why wouldn't you play?
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah, Mahomes is out, But if you love the game
of football, man, you you're gonna get out there and
you're gonna roll. And so I have no problem what
he wanted to play. Now, the bigger question is will
this be his last year? If Patrick Mahomes is thinking
long term his career, he should probably miss the entirety
(39:23):
of next year, if not at least the first half
of next season. You think, yeah, when you tear your
aco in December, did you tell your man? Come on, man,
Patrick Mahomes had a long career, you know, six seven months,
that's normally nine months. And I've never had it. But
everybody say you don't feel good to about twelve or.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Fifteen months out, Well, you don't feel good until a
year out from.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Perform on it. Yeah, you're recovery.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
Do you take that chance? And so if you, Travis Kelce,
do you get with Pat and say, hey, what what
you do?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Pat gonna say, I don't know because I want to
see how this rehab is going. But Travis Kelsey gonna
have to make a decision and get that answer to
the Kansas City Chiefs. So I would probably say this
may be the last year that we see Travis Kelce
on the football field, and this season that he's playing
right now is much better. Travis Kelsey's actually playing good
(40:23):
football this year. He's playing really good football this year.
The Chiefs just aren't having a great season. So I
say a lot of it will boil down to whether
Mahomes will be healthy enough to at least get back
in November of next year.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
You're going back to LaVar's course. The man.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
I mean, listen, he has to get out there and play. Man,
you can't have your teammates, you know, looking at you crazy,
You a healthy scratch, and you don't want to play
football because your best friend and your quarterback is not playing.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
You got to get out I'm saying you gotta get
out there.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
You didn't stop playing when I went down, That's for certain.
Kept playing and didn't win one super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
You told he was like bar went down. Man went down.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
He came over to the sideline and slammed me him
something I'm done. And I was like, all right, man, cool,
I thought you were talking about the game.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
I was done.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
I already know you was hanging it up forever. That's
a whole different, a whole different conversation. My man told
me I'm done. I was like, all right, dog, I'm
damn man. All right, cool, we're gonna get this. Yeah,
I run on the field. He was talking about done done.
But but yeah, basically, teacher, what you're saying is that
I really believe that Travis kelf do you want to
(41:31):
make a decision based off of what him and Patrick
mahomes conversations and whatever that whatever that leads to. Uh,
you know, I believe he's slowing down, he's losing stuff.
I think everybody can see it. And I think moving forward,
when Patrick Mahomes does come back, kept Travis Kelson's not
the same player that he was two three years ago.
(41:52):
I mean that you can see it. He's losing a step.
But I just think that we may see him players
last game, you know, tomorrow. But I just think his
decision based on based off of the rehabit Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well we'll see how that all plays out in Kansas City. Well,
you know, we'll see how that plays out as well,
because I don't know about this team, uh moving forward,
but we shall see and We have our two coming
up too, by the way, so make sure y'all stay
tuned in. This is up on Game. It's Fox Sports Radio.

of games. Smart, but it's probably the best team in
our age division tomorrow, real age division. You know, all
these people, we need to do a podcast, just a
real quick podcast US three. Since we all have kids
that play sports, about these dumb ass parents that want
to play their kids down. And you think your kids
good because they playing playing kids two years younger than them. Yeah,
(02:18):
like you think, yo, you think old little Johnny is good?
He fourteen playing against an eleven year old. Get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
A sixteen year old was playing against my child when
he was a twelve year old. Came up to me
after the game. He said, Dad, how you think I did?
I said, too bad?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Right? He said what are these and he pulled his
shirt up.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I said, son, those are cleat marks.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He got step out.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Sixteen year old was stepping on all of them twelve
year olds. They thought he was good man, But I'm
with you there. There are those stories plague. I was
going in your area.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Man, oh man, everything's going good man. It's a nice,
bright sunny day on the ground those but it's mad
brick son. That's like, say, wait, man, that is crazy.
It's mad bricks, like they say the city. Man, I see, man,
(03:11):
it is. It's a little crispy, but you know, he man,
we here the sun's out, the sun shining. We had
a little blizzard and it has all bad rain. It's
been in bad all week but man, and cleared up
for the weekend. So uh, hey, man, we take what
we can get at this point.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I'll tell you this man is coming there next week,
well tomorrow, I believe, for the Pin Strike Bowl.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So he'll be around. Make sure y'all y'all link up.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Uh And speaking of sun shining and bowl games and games,
the college football Playoff is underway. Last night we saw
Oklahoma take on Alabama. Now everybody was talking, we already.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Seen this match up. Nobody wants to see this match
up again. No, Oklahoma's gonna spank them this, that and
the other. And they were spanking. They got out to
a real quick start. They were down multiple h multiple possessions.
But some way, somehow, Alabama found the way to get
back in the game and not only get back in
(04:10):
the game, but make it a good game, a memorable game,
and won in advance into the second round of the playoff,
where they will now face and a number one rated
Indiana Hoosiers team. I find that to be a very
very interesting matchup coming coming up.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We'll get to that obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
We got Miami about to take on A and M
as we heard Isaac Loewen, Loan Kron and and and
by the way, White Claus Isaac. Uh, that's heart seltzer.
That's that's what he was trying to smuggle in was
some heart seltzer. So anyway, we got JMU taking on
Oregon as well, we got Tulane taken on Old Miss.
We are about to be full swing into the college
(04:54):
football playoff. I say this, and I'm gonna let y'all
have it. I think Kaylin de Bor saved his job
by saving that game and those players saving that game
last evening.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Big win for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They move on, but they still have a big test
in one of the hottest teams, if not the hottest
team in all.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Of college football. What was y'alls take away from the game?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I'm like you, man, I thought it was a great game.
I picked Bama to win, and the reason was the
first game, Unklahoma outgained them almost two to one yards
and the game was super super close, and so I said, Oh,
they're not gonna outgain them like that again. They're not
gonna shut Alabama down like that again. And at the
(05:37):
outset of the game, it looked like, oh, it was
about to be the same story written again. Alabama just
showed a lot of heart, man grit, resilience. It's not
easy to be down seventeen zero and still have that
forty two to say, man, all we need is a score.
All we needed is a score. And seventeen on fourth
(06:00):
and two. I don't even know who seventeen was. I
feel bad not knowing his name, but he breaks that tackle,
gets an end zone on fourth down, and I was like, Okay,
this is what they needed.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
This is exactly what they needed.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And once they got those first points on the board,
they just started playing downhill Man, and you say, the
board saved his job. The people that Alabama need to realize, Man,
you're gonna fire the boor and go hire who who
you're gonna hire that's better who you're gonna hire that's
better than him, Like they want to recapture the Nick
(06:36):
Saban era. Nick Saban left because of this new era.
He knew the resources that Alabama. Alabama's a hell of
a football program, great history, but if you don't have
the financial resources to outbit like kids are not going
to school because it's Alabama. They going to school because
of what you're paying them now. And so that's just
(06:59):
what it is. Why you think Texas Tech and the
college football playoff because of the history of Texas Tech,
because of what guy's been paid. Why you think David
Bailey is at Texas Tech. David Bailey Southern California kid,
And so understand that you are not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
The program that Nick Saban had. You're not.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Your backups aren't better than everybody else's starters any longer,
and so every game is going to be a dogfight.
Zab and Brown. I thought that may have been the
player of the game to pick six. That boy is
special man. He's specially been starting since he was a
true freshman at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's not easy to do at all.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
But kudos and Kevin the Boar and the Alabama coaching
staff and specifically the players man to keep those guys
together down seventeen to.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Zero on the road. That's not easy to do.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Nope, no, yeah, I mean, going into this game, I
really thought that the Oklahoma defense man, especially playing at
home against Alabama, the way that they struggled against Georgia
being able to run the football, and you know, Alabama
really didn't get the running game going until they needed
it needed it the most, like in the fourth quarter
going in and scoring Rutch in touchdown. But I didn't
(08:19):
think that that this offense, Todd Simpson will go into
Oklahoma and throw for three hundred and sixties I believe
with three hundred and sixty seven yards.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I didn't see that coming. I've got to watch the
Alabama in person this year.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Man.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I think I think they are one of the elite
defenses and all the coach and all the college football.
But uh, my man, Ryan Williams disappeared last night and
my guy lotzib Brooks from Melville, New Jersey, that's came
out and had him a party last night.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Man, congress to him. Him and my son played football
growing up. Man.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yeah, he's a New Jersey kid for Melville and he
went out there and had two touchdowns yesterday. Uh in
one of his on one of the biggest stages that
that that he can go out and compete on. And
for some reason, man, uh, you know, Ryan Williams hasn't
been you know, playing well consistent man, and I be
least leading the country and drop balls. Especially off of
(09:19):
the season that he had last year. I think everybody
just expected him to come out and explode this year.
But he has, uh, you know, regressed as a as
a player, and Lotza got his opportunity, went out there
and shine man. And but I did pick Oklahoma to
win this game. I'm not gonna front uh, just based
off of the showing that they had against against Georgia,
(09:39):
I just didn't think that they were going to be
able to go in uh, especially when they got down
seventeen zero. I'm saying to myself, I said, no, Oklahoma's
going to blow him out. But uh, somehow they managed
to come back and be able to win that football game.
But when they got down seventeen zero, I thought it
was over. So kudos to Alabama being able to go
(09:59):
on the road in a hostile environment and come out
with a victory. But hey man, Indiana's waiting next. So
that's the game I will want to see Alabama Indiana.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I think it's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Let me ask you all this question. I said at
the beginning introducing the topic that Kaylin de boor he basically,
in my estimation, probably saved his job. I think if
he goes out after the showing in the SEC Championship,
I think if he goes out and they ended up
getting blown out the way that it looked like it
(10:34):
was going to be early on in the game. I
don't know that Kaylen Debor survives. I'm not sure I
would say I would lean against it because it just
seems as though Alabama fans are maybe you know, they're
Alabama fans. They're used to winning, and they're used to
things being a certain way. I get that because I
experience that every single year with our team. In terms
(10:58):
of the comparisons of the coaches to the coaches that
were there before, I can't even imagine what it would
be like for a coach at Alabama post Nick Saban
his time there. Does he have to win against Indiana?
Or did he secure hisself by getting out of the
first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
This is not an easy road.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
In fact, it could be considered maybe the most difficult
road to getting to the college football playoff championship game.
Did he buy himself another year, another year, two, whatever?
I guess you can never say in every two anymore,
you just.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Say another year. But did he buy himself time?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Did you just say this is the easiest road to get.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, No, it's probably the hardest road to get to
to the to the to the college football championship right,
probably the hardest road, I believe it is.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
When you're the eight nine game, and that's what you get, right.
Some people say Alabama have been in it with three losses.
A lot of people will say that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
People keep saying that they wanted to see Notre Dame
in that.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Game you lose to Florida State, and Florida State was
an awful football team this year.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Awful. I don't care. It was game number one.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
A lot of people will say Obama didn't deserve it,
but Alabama, who are you gonna hire us better than
Kaitlyn de bor Who? And so this world of college
football is not what it was five six years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
It just isn't. And so did he save his job? Yes?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
And if he didn't save his job, the people at
Alabama that are in charge of that, if he needs
to win this game, they shouldn't even be in a
position to determine that because they don't know what they're doing.
That's how I view that. And so seventeen zero, man,
I don't think anybody that plays sports when you down
seventeen zero on the game of football on the road
(12:55):
against a really good team, that's not easy. That's not easy.
And so yes, he saved his job. And I actually
believe I like their chances against Indiana. I really do.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Uh Hey, man, Indiana for real, I'm just gonna me that.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I know that, Eugene, But.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I think one of the main reasons why I'm going
to pick Indiana not be just because they're a better
football team on paper on the football field. But now
you get you have given Kurt Signetti and that staff,
uh game tape for them to draw up a scheme
what they want to do. Man, Signetti is great at
(13:42):
game planning, so now he has Now he has a
week another week to game plan against Alabama going into
this game, and I just think that's one of the
main reasons why why they won't will not be able
to beat Indiana going to this game.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Hey, you did see plex that Indiana law their best
D line and celebrating the win against All State.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, I saw that. I saw that he was jumping
up giving that in the end zone and whatever the case,
b B. But I think they'll be able to overcome
that defensively. I just think this coaching staff man has
been doing a hell of a job all year versus
everybody that they've played, I mean, the record speaks for itself,
and I just don't think they'll be able to be Indiana.
(14:24):
But just like you were saying, Tju, it all depends
what Alabama wants from that football program. I don't believe
there's a better coach out there, better than the boar. Uh.
You know, coaching at Alabama. Does you want to leave Alabama?
I think that's gonna be the question. But I don't
think any coach in their mind is going to pick
(14:45):
Michigan over coaching at Alabama.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I mean, they're two great programs.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
But I think I think it'll it will hurt Alabama
because I believe the whole coaching staff with the boy
is probably going to leave me and go with him
to Michigan. But you I just believe that Alabama, you
get better players and recruits versus him going to Michigan
and trying to rebuild that program. So I just don't
(15:10):
believe that he's going anywhere. He's gonna be there for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, I'll say that, Signetti. He's a former Alabamian coach,
and I don't think that. I feel like the only
chance in a game like this would be the lack
of experience of being a top team for Indiana. It
could be brand, it could be brand intimidation, it could
(15:38):
be program history intimidation. And I think we all have
been a part of games where you you know, you
go into it and you're like, dang, like, that's them
right there.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And you either decide that it's.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Them right there and we're gonna make a name out
for ourselves out of this game, or you're gonna be like,
once they hit you in the mouth, you're gonna be like, dang,
Like they really do play the way that people like
we saw it, or people talk about them and this,
that and the other.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But I believe that that familiarity that Signette has, I
don't think that this is going to be an impact
on the game. The mystique of what Alabama football represents.
I mean, you see him come out of that that tunnel,
and you got to think about, like, Okay, well they're here.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Jesse orders Staid used to always say when we was
in the locker room, he'd be like Avar. I'd be like,
what's up, Jay. He'd be like, Uh, you know they
over there right what you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
They in the visitors locker room. You know they're gonna
come out for the game.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I mean I used always think that was pretty cool
because right in that moment, I'd be like, he crazy,
But you know he's right, and you know what, you
know what, you know what My response was, Aja, we
in this locker room right now too, and they about
to see us come out.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And in my mind, that's a mentality.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So I think it depends on what mentality they're going
to bring to the table and how that's going to look.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Hey, listen this up on Game This Fox Sports Radio.
We off to a quick start.
Speaker 2 (17:11):

And I know people was going crazy over talking about
(21:42):
Penn State and.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Oh they're relate to the party. What do you do?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
This is being handled horribly blase blah jah blah uh.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
But this is later than even the coaching hires that
have needed to take place before now. And obviously it
comes through controversy and through scandal. But what do you
do if you're Michigan right now, what do you do
in terms of going after a coach? I mean, you'd
assume it's a big enough program where it's one of
(22:14):
the biggest Obviously they could go get pretty much whoever
they want to go get, even from the pro ranks.
How you guys see this playing out?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Man, Michigan, if you look at the just the athletic
program over the last well, let's just say three four years, right,
you had an incident with Juwan Howard back we're talking
basketball right now. Okay, that's basketball. We're talking basketball. That
(22:48):
didn't go well. You look at the Sharon Moore incident.
You know in twenty twenty two, I believe two I
believe you know what Their co offensive coordinators were, Sharmore
and Matt Wise.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Matt Wise he got he's in jail right now, right.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
He's in jail because he was hacking into females their
private information, pictures and things that those were the two
co officive coordinators.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Think about that.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
So from a just an organizational standpoint, that the athletic
department in Michigan what they're in And so if you're
the AD, you cannot blow this. You better take your
time because you are the guy that ultimately is signing
off on all this and make another wrong mistake. Your
(23:49):
job is done and your job should probably be on
the chopping block.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Now because you were in charge. He might not be
there either. You were in charge of the people. Forget
about that. I didn't talk about the Conna stallions going on.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Another people's sidelines still in the like stealing size, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Harball got suspended.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Self imposed suspension from the school board.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Sharan Moore also got suspended.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He had the miss games last year and this season,
and so there's a lot going on at the University
of Michigan.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
That's number one.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
If you are a top, top coach, why and if
you're a top coach, you had a top school, why
would you leave your school to go to Michigan. Yes,
I get the history of Michigan, but that's a long
time ago. That's a long time ago. Yeah, Well, they
won a NUTS championship with Harball. Yet Harball is an anomaly.
(24:48):
He's a great coach. Everybody knows that. You the reason
they were able to get over the matt Wise and
what he did and then is because Harball is a
great coach and he was winning bunch of ball games,
and he was bringing in great recruits and he was
developing them. If you're not doing that, your leasha is short.
Because if Sharon Moore had beat Ohio State, maybe things
(25:12):
get swept under the rug. Who knows, We'll never know,
But who wants to go to Michigan. Because Plexico said
this earlier you're not getting the type of recruits at
Michigan that you're getting at Ohio State. You're not getting
the type of recruits at Michigan that you're getting out
of Alabama. You're not getting the type of recruits in
Michigan that you're getting at LSU Georgia and all these
other schools. No, no, no, no no. And so if
(25:39):
you are one of them ones, one of them ones
is a top coach, why would you leave a great
situation where you at to go to Michigan and you
have no idea what it's going to be.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Hey, with everything that has basically transpired at that school
down the street from Michigan, everything that's happened, I just
believe that it's lost its oral I really do. Moving forward,
and we've commented on it, and we've said this that
(26:13):
I just don't see kids, you know, wanting to go
to Michigan the way that they used to. Everybody wanted
to go to Michigan, you know when you were growing
up and as kids, and you wanted to put that
blue and whatever they call that colored mazing gold or
whatever in the age whatever. But I just think if
you're a head coach, you have to go in there
(26:37):
and basically dismantle the whole thing, bring your whole entire staff,
and going into a brand new season, you're already behind
the eight ball because basically spring ball starts in one
hundred and twenty days. So now you're going to go
in and take over program with players that you really
don't know because you didn't recruit them and you didn't
(26:59):
bring them in and they're already there. So if you're
the athletic director moving forward, I think the best thing
for Michigan right now going into this season because you
don't even know if Bryce Underwood is going to say
because he may go into the transfer portal base off
for everything that that has happened. So what are you
going to do as the athletic director for Michigan going
(27:21):
into the season. I just believe you the safest thing
for them to do is basically to uh to hire
in house or whoever. So you think that that Baff
Beff Pogi, Yeah, I do, And Bef has money.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Beff. Biff is a money guy. Biff.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I I know Biff from back when he was you know,
in in the Baltimore area. He was working with Saint
Francis built, helped build up Saint Francis to where they
were at. He was also part of good Counsel. He's
got a uh, he's got a pretty solid background in
terms of being able to program build, I mean, and
he's helped he's helped Michigan for for quite a long time.
(27:57):
I think Biff would be interesting. It would be an
your sting higher as an inter room higher, just because
I believe you probably keep your your players. You know,
you keep your players if you.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
They they ain't never gonna They'll never do that. They'll
never do that because the name, I think it's the
best said, he will get no recruits. You're really gonna
be developing. He'll really got to show you, really, you
really got to show you a Kurt signatty and get
a bunch of three stars and teach and developed.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
He would get talking about I'm just talking about I'm
not just talking about foot this one season he's recruits.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, yeah, you bringing a brand new coach man.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You're talking about going in there and bringing a whole
new defense and offense to these players for a scheme
that you're trying to run for players that you don't
even know that you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Even know them.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
So I just think for one year, you go with Biff,
you keep the same offense and defense, and you go win.
Nobody is expecting for Michigan to go out and win
the Big Big Ten anyway, uh in this coming season.
So I think the best way is that the South
is not to throw the whole season away.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
You expect to competitive house went they had nine and
three this year. They went nine and three this year.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, they didn't have a bad year. They if they
take their players, they could be competitive.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah, what happens if they go eight and four seventy five?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I think that's still a competitive year under the.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Certain instance Michigan.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And and here's what I here's what I say to that.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
And just going back to even with what Penn State
ended up doing, you know, this same conversation was taking
place with with Terry Smith. And Terry Smith to me
is way more like a not a not a dig
at at Biff. But I think Terry Smith is a
way more qualified and way more like impactful guy to
have hired to major your head coach. That didn't happen,
(29:59):
but they saw the value and it understood the importance
of Terry Smith and his presence and being there, like
you just were alluding to plex and they kept him,
you know, and they found a way to keep them.
I mean they they they gave him an extension that
was was very very you know, it was a deal
(30:19):
you didn't want to turn down, basically like it it was.
It was a very impactful deal. I think that that's
what Michigan has to be thinking there. There are probably
a few people within those doors that have a great relationship,
great rapport with those players and with those players parents, and.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
And Biff is one of them.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I mean, like I said, I know a lot about him,
I know and a lot about what he does behind
the scenes. And he's he did it. He did an
excellent job of doing it in high school. He's done
an excellent job of it at Michigan. He was a
part of that build out with with uh with Harbaugh
and those guys. So I just say this, I think
it's a it's a it's it's still a most prestigious
(31:02):
college football program.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, I'll defer.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
To y'all on on how y'all feel about if recruits
want to go there anymore. I think the jumpman I
think the jumpman idea of it, and and that it's
Michigan and what Michigan football has represented. They're not too
far off from a national title. They're not too far
away from it. I think they can still build it.
That's not too far. What two three years, two three years,
(31:28):
it's not that far.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, And it'll be good for a while. I
think we know Ohio's will continue to be better. So
it's an uphill battle if you want to win.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Is going to be in the.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
USC number one recruiting class in the country.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
That's something we'll see.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, it's it's definitely a very competitive industry. But
if there's one school that has the the value, brand
value to be able to climb back in it, it's
probably Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So anyways, we.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Keep going back. I sorry, I know we got to
go to updates. Go ahead, I'm sorry, go sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You sure make your point.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I'm just saying, hey, this next three in Michigan, it's
Harball's once Harball left in the history. These kids don't
care about the history. They care about what you offering me.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It is a different lady period, but they do offer
a lot at Michigan.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I low, it's white Claw.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
It's hard going to be off for a lot.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Going to need your expert analysis on that very important
aspect of this college football playoff coming up moments from now,
so stay tuned for that. Right now, we've got two
forty six left in the first quarter, and seven seed
Texas A and M and ten seed Miami are scoreless.
Both teams punted on their opening possessions. On Texas A
and M's second possession, they got down to the Miami
(32:50):
twenty nine yard line, had a second down and nine,
but Marcel Reid was stripped by Miami's keyante Scott Armando
Blunt recovered the fumble for the Hurricane, so they've got
it back and a time out of the field right
now as they set up for a third down and
six around midfield. Two minutes and forty six seconds left
to play in the first quarter, no score between Miami
(33:12):
and Texas A and M. And again the Hurricanes coming
up with a third down and six after this time
out at the Miami forty five yard line. And yes,
there have already been plenty of highlights off the field
as reported by the Texas A and M campus police.
In the last few minutes alone, a miner was ejected
from the stadium for having two corps lights in the
(33:34):
front of their overalls. Another miner was sighted and ejected
from the stadium for having seven fireball shooters in their pockets.
Speaker 10 (33:44):
Your thoughts fellas.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They was trying to get it in, you know, they
was trying to have some fun. They forgot themselves, and
I don't understand how they would think that they would
get through security or get through whatever it was that
they was one the way they were doing it. But hey,
you know what, they tried to win a game today.
They just happened to They happen to.
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Lose seven of them. Risk is a risk is part
of sports.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
And finally, in the last reward in the last few moments,
another underage fan was cited for being in possession of
something called a strawberry rita.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
Your thoughts, I mean, I mean, I'm no expert had one.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
I'm no expert, But there's some pride in being ejected
for having seven fireball shooters. Maybe if you're ejected for
having a strawberry rita, I mean strawberry rita's in college football.
I just don't know if they mix as well as
some fireball shooters.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It sounds like your nickname you gave your homegirl in college.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
But hey, I'm not I've been away to remove from
college for quite some time, you know what I mean.
But anyway, yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
We gotta to do the bit.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
We gotta be doing squeak. You know, something's funny if
levard does the squeak.
Speaker 9 (34:55):
Anyway, coming over at three point thirty eastern, eleven Sea
two Laid plays at six seed Old Miss Tonight at
seven thirty eastern. It'll be five seed Oregon hosting twelve
seed James Madison. Multiple outlets reported earlier today McKenny dillingham
has signed a new five year contract to keep him
as the head coach at Arizona State. He, of course,
had been rumored as a candidate for the Michigan job.
Thank you for that college football playoff analysis.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
No one can get analysis like this anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Back to you about it, Thanks Hilo. We appreciate that,
and we appreciate you guys out there listening during this
holiday season as well. Again, make sure you guys are
shopping safely, being safe out here, being mindful of one
another on the highways.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And the byways, all those good things.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
We're gonna take a quick break on the other side
of the break, we're going to continue the conversations.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
We're going to talk some more football.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
You know, people's in seasons coming to an end, people
are not making the playoffs, and people are getting surgeries
as all of that has taking place. We want to
talk about some of that on the other side of break.
This is up on Game and this is Fox Sports Radio. Hey,
listen up. A hotly debated topic in the hot sauce world. Well,
it's who is this this year's MVP. And I'm not
(36:02):
talking players people, I'm talking poores. You know, most valuable poor,
that's right. I know who mine is. The most valuable
poor is the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Here's why it's my MVP because this sauce has shown
me what is really made of and that's three hard
hitting ingredients, pepper's, vinegar, and salt. It's the perfect balance
of heat and flavor. Now that's an MVP material deal, if.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
What makes my most Valuable poor different from any old
poor is the name, the value of it. Other hot
sauces are so second string, But the original Louisiana Hot
Sauce On Game day. It'll dress any of your favorite
eats with ease. Just drizzle it on your nachos, your burgers, pizza, gumbo,
(36:51):
you name it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
The taste is gonna score.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Finally, just take a look at its record for almost
one hundred years. Its flavor is undefeated. A tasty Louisiana
legacy like that deserves the most Valuable poor title, don't
you think?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
In fact, that's why the original Louisiana Hot Sauce is
not just the MVP. It's my m VP. If you
know what I mean. That's hot sauce. Yeah, that's Louisiana
Hot sauce. It's the original Louisiana Hot Sauce. Make sure

(38:11):
fellas before we get to the end of this hour.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
We got a short segment, but.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Uh, well, you know what, let's talk about Travis Kelsey.
We'll do We'll do Micah and Patrick in hour two
when we bring in Cuffs the legend who will be
in from that Dude Show an hour two Travis Kelsey,
he's saying he's going to play the final three games.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Obviously the Chiefs have been eliminated. What's I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Is this a sign of Kelsey's wanting to continue to play?
Is this the end and he's just gonna play it out?
I mean, obviously he had.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
The big news.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
He's engaged, He's marrying one of the biggest performers in
the world. What you guys think is what you think
it's all about with Kelsey and and continuing to play
the last three games.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Oh, he should play. Why wouldn't you play?
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Yeah, Mahomes is out, But if you love the game
of football, man, you you're gonna get out there and
you're gonna roll. And so I have no problem what
he wanted to play. Now, the bigger question is will
this be his last year? If Patrick Mahomes is thinking
long term his career, he should probably miss the entirety
(39:23):
of next year, if not at least the first half
of next season. You think, yeah, when you tear your
aco in December, did you tell your man? Come on, man,
Patrick Mahomes had a long career, you know, six seven months,
that's normally nine months. And I've never had it. But
everybody say you don't feel good to about twelve or.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Fifteen months out, Well, you don't feel good until a
year out from.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Perform on it. Yeah, you're recovery.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
Do you take that chance? And so if you, Travis Kelce,
do you get with Pat and say, hey, what what
you do?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Pat gonna say, I don't know because I want to
see how this rehab is going. But Travis Kelsey gonna
have to make a decision and get that answer to
the Kansas City Chiefs. So I would probably say this
may be the last year that we see Travis Kelce
on the football field, and this season that he's playing
right now is much better. Travis Kelsey's actually playing good
(40:23):
football this year. He's playing really good football this year.
The Chiefs just aren't having a great season. So I
say a lot of it will boil down to whether
Mahomes will be healthy enough to at least get back
in November of next year.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
You're going back to LaVar's course. The man.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
I mean, listen, he has to get out there and play. Man,
you can't have your teammates, you know, looking at you crazy,
You a healthy scratch, and you don't want to play
football because your best friend and your quarterback is not playing.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
You got to get out I'm saying you gotta get
out there.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
You didn't stop playing when I went down, That's for certain.
Kept playing and didn't win one super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
You told he was like bar went down. Man went down.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
He came over to the sideline and slammed me him
something I'm done. And I was like, all right, man, cool,
I thought you were talking about the game.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
I was done.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
I already know you was hanging it up forever. That's
a whole different, a whole different conversation. My man told
me I'm done. I was like, all right, dog, I'm
damn man. All right, cool, we're gonna get this. Yeah,
I run on the field. He was talking about done done.
But but yeah, basically, teacher, what you're saying is that
I really believe that Travis kelf do you want to
(41:31):
make a decision based off of what him and Patrick
mahomes conversations and whatever that whatever that leads to. Uh,
you know, I believe he's slowing down, he's losing stuff.
I think everybody can see it. And I think moving forward,
when Patrick Mahomes does come back, kept Travis Kelson's not
the same player that he was two three years ago.
(41:52):
I mean that you can see it. He's losing a step.
But I just think that we may see him players
last game, you know, tomorrow. But I just think his
decision based on based off of the rehabit Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well we'll see how that all plays out in Kansas City. Well,
you know, we'll see how that plays out as well,
because I don't know about this team, uh moving forward,
but we shall see and We have our two coming
up too, by the way, so make sure y'all stay
tuned in. This is up on Game. It's Fox Sports Radio.
We'll be right back
