Speaker 3 (00:51):
I don't think you'd ever see it again.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
To that point, chanting on the roadway on away. President
Trump is now in front of the Parliament and he

I don't have to do again this game recap. Oh
I'm sorry three two plus.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, it's oops Dickerson issuing a statement on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know what, Dan's a pro.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Dan's a pro, he said.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
He wears his emotions like any other Tigers fan.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
On a sleep, he said, I want to sincerely apologize
for swearing during a break in the post game last night.
I know better than to swear into an open mic.
It was said in a moment of frustration, and not
a reflection about how I feel about doing the game recap,
just how I felt about doing it in that moment
after a five hour, fifteen inning, season ending loss.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
But the bottom line is the person that was in
the studio, yes, does not know his MIC's right at fault.
We as professionals know that when we're standing here and
we're in control of this stuff, you don't swear in
a studio, you just don't do it. But when you're
you know, a long way away and you are dependent
on that person.

why I You know, the on site engineer must have
had him hot as well. You see what I'm saying. Yeah,
so there's two people two, yes, but it's I know,
I know what you're saying.

on either end right of that thing. So it's not excusable.
I get it.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
But I was chuckling at what you said about what
dance he goes. It's not about doing the game, Rea,
It's not about doing the postgame show after I've been
here six hours.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
But we've all been at live broadcast. Oh yeah, suddenly
you're live.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah yeah, yeah, what did I say?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think it was just like a week or so ago. Anyways,
I want to talk about sports and how crazy the
timeline is off of that. So go back to September
twenty seventh. Now that seems so long ago. It's two
weeks ago from this past Saturday that we just had.
Game Day for ESPN was at Penn State University for

(03:56):
Penn State organ They lose that game, right top ten
matchup in double overtime, heartbreak city for James Franklin and
Penn State. Then a week ago for this past Saturday,
they fly out to UCLA. They losed forty two to
thirty seven to the Bruins, who were winless at the
time and fired their head coach before that. Then they're
back home for homecoming this past Saturday, just two days ago,

(04:18):
they lose to Northwestern twenty two to twenty one. And
what's the biggest headline this morning. James Franklin let go
after eleven plus seasons because he was in the middle
of his twelfth. By the school, he's owed more than
forty nine million dollars. According to his contract. That's the
second biggest buyout in college football history, behind Jimbo Fisher's

(04:39):
seventy six million dollars buyout when they forced him out
of Texas. A and M associate head coach Terry Smith
will serve as the Niitney Lions intrim head coach.
