Blue By Ninety - E102: Hoosier Daddy

Episode Date: November 7, 2021

The boys recover from a long and strong day of tailgating and recap a wild week 10 in college football. Crack a cold one and enjoy the show.

This is the University of Michigan. Touchdown, Michigan! The Beats of Michigan! And they've caught extra pass. And it goes for the win! The three-pointer by Jordan Poole! Down the sideline! Peebles-John!

Touchdown, Wolverines! All right, welcome back to Blue by 90. I am Justin, joined by Jack and Kalen. It is Sunday, November 7th, and the boys are 8-1. Hey, we will take 8-1 any day of the week. I think that it was a great day in Ann Arbor yesterday, a great day in college football, a great Saturday because of a lot of events that unfolded. So how are you guys feeling today?

About college football, I feel great. I feel pretty good. Waiting for a big, fat nap after this. There you go. There you go. Yeah, Sparty losing, man. We manifested that shit. We did. It's all unfolding. waiting for a big fat nap after this there you go there you go yeah already losing man our our we manifested that shit we did it's all unfolding it's all unfolding just the way we need it to yeah everyone can become a uh you can come out of the closet as purdue fans now right they beat

iowa they beat msu you're kind of going like this is the the upset team that we always need right boiler up baby boiler up there i mean their record is now pretty good and they have two top five wins that's insane um but yeah i mean i i felt like obviously we were down in the dumps last week and everyone was ready to jump ship and now because of what happened Sparty loses and we win and we control our destiny again you know so we're back in the same you know you wish you were nine and oh 100 that's obvious but you still now you have all the same thing what did Vistardis say uh we have all of our goals ahead of us still I think Zach Center Sinter said that as well. That was the mantra of the post-game press conference after Sparty. Well, now it's true.

You really do have the chance to win out and, you know, go to the Big Ten championship game. And so, you know, I think that is – it's kind of funny how quickly people jump off and jump right back on. Oh, yeah. You know, there was a lot of fire hardball talk this past week, and now those guys have been quiet. Those guys have been pretty quiet now all of a sudden.

And they might jump back on. You know, you never know what happens this week or in the next month. But, yeah, who knows. Yeah, I mean, we've seen Ohio State to beat Michigan State, and I'd expect that to happen and then if michigan wins out yeah they're going to the big 10 title game they're where they win that they're going to play off i mean all their goals are still ahead of them i'm excited man just hope the hope's building it's building back up so let's talk about michigan state versus

purdue for a second. Okay, we all thought that Cade McNamara was great because he threw for 400 yards versus MSU. Aiden O'Connell, Purdue's quarterback, 40 for 54 for 536 yards. Holy shit. Their state's secondary is brutal. Awesome. We got to remember, right, Jeff Brom comes from that western Kentucky. Their state's secondary is brutal. Brutal. We got to remember, right, Jeff Brom comes from that western Kentucky,

throw the ball a million times, and you're wanky plays, right? Yeah. They don't – I mean, they don't have – Purdue does not have a run threat, though. So wouldn't you think you just sell out on the pass, help your secondary out? They ran the ball – let's see. Their top rusher yesterday, Purdue's, which his name is King Daru. What a name.

Fucking love that. 13 carries for 32 yards. Their next guy had 10 carries for 24 yards. So they did nothing on the ground and just threw the ball all over, and obviously it worked. So maybe Cade is is I don't know I don't think we can we can take his game against MSU and say wow he's he's elite now I think he's a very good quarterback don't get me wrong I think he does everything right and does a ton of stuff good um but yeah I don't think we can say, wow, we've got, you know, Mahomes on our team now.

You know, I really was thinking it was Tom Brady after that. So, you know, I'm glad I'm glad you cooled that down for me. But I look at the stats. McCarthy got in there. What? He had 10 pass attempts yesterday. I didn't see any of the whole drive. really yeah was it late in the game or what third quarter nice it felt like pretty much after the half he had like control of the offense more or less yeah it was like switching off drives between him and kade right yeah it was basically kade went back in a couple times as well so yeah they switched on and off but it wasn't like oh that it was still 17 10 like it was a it was a one touchdown game and and uh jj was getting full drives um and so i

i wonder if kade being banged up had something to do with that where they were like all right a let's see what jj can do with a full drive. B, you know, let's not put Cade in a bad spot. Because I think Cade's knee is, I don't know for sure if it's his knee, but I'm pretty sure it's his knee. And he was limping all over the place yesterday. Oh, damn. It didn't look great. So hopefully it's just something that he tweaked and he'll be okay next week.

But, yeah, man, I mean, we'll talk about some more injuries that happen later, but it was a boring game. It was a snoozer. It was a snoozer in Michigan Stadium yesterday, unfortunately. Let me say this before we get into like game analysis. I hate Fox. I hate Fox. analysis i hate fox i hate fox they they make the in stadium experience so bad the game was three and a half hours long or more and it was like media time out media time out media time and

it's just brutal man is that i guess i've never really noticed but uh is that more they do it more often than like espn or they do a little bit i'm like an espn game usually sticks to right around three hours fox seems to go closer to three and a half or four and i don't know it's like at some point here's my question at some point is the dollars that you're getting from tv were at what point is your in stadium money worth just the same or the experience that you're giving to people at michigan stadium this like worth more than the dollars you're getting in tv i don don't know. Something to think about. It's interesting. If Ward is listening, I think he's got to think about that.

All right. So you guys analysis, what did you think about, you know, what you saw from the team yesterday? You know what, Kalen, you go ahead. I thought that we saw the continued continued emergence of hassan haskins uh he just if i felt like he was unstoppable honestly there were like he had like 69 yard runs he was doing this thing like uh you know carrying the pile he tried to hurdle another guy and i was just like dude this guy is like unstoppable like i was waiting for him to you know expose the s on his chest almost yeah but uh to me that was

the main story of the game that in the defense the defense was like locked down i think i read that they had like uh four uh three and outs or something in a row so that for me I was really happy to see that yeah I mean Haskins I I tweeted this out and people so I tweeted out that Haskins showed us yesterday that he can be the number one running back and people were like he always has been dude or like they were like we knew that and i'm like yeah i mean we've known that haskins has has been very good and can carry a load but like i think it's it'd be stupid to say that quorum didn't take the rb1 spot for the past seven weeks right right i i mean i still think they were like a 1a 1b yeah but they're sharing that role, right? Yeah.

He's not a true RB1 until yesterday. So then, like, I mean, I guess maybe I worded it wrong, but, like, I guess maybe it's more so that he can carry a 27 rush, you know, type game, right? So he had 27 carries yesterday. He can still do that, right, instead of being the 15 and 15 type game right so he had 27 carries yesterday he can still do that right instead of being the 15 and 15 type game you know what yeah yeah he can carry the load so yeah 27 carries for 168 yards in the tutty i mean that's average point of 6.2 like you said caitlin i mean obviously he

had that long run too where dang i was hoping was hoping he would score. That was sweet. But there were just so many times where it's like, you know, you think that he's going to get stopped and then he carries the pile for six more yards. And he's just, he's a beast, man. He runs so hard. And I, you know, I, if Blake Corum is out for an extended period, it's not like we're in terrible shape there. I think that's the most important thing there. Well, I think the part there that does give you cause for concern,

and maybe we'll move into this a little bit later, is the lack of depth due to injuries, right? Right. With Blake out and then with Edwards out, then you're forced to rely on, on Dunlap, who's maybe just doesn't have that experience. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Is Edwards out or was that a hypothetical? No, Edwards didn't make the trip to East Lansing actually.

And then didn't play yesterday either. So it's, it's an undisclosed injury. Of course, Jim doesn't want to talk about injuries, but he hasn't played the last two games. So, you know, I agree with that. I mean, so Blake came off. I was I was very close to the sideline watching that. So Blake came off limping really bad, went into the medical tent for a long time, then went into the locker room, came back out with a boot on and in street clothes. Um, and so I'm assuming it's, I'm hoping it's precautionary. Jim said, it's nothing like super serious. So I'm, I, my bet is like a high

ankle sprain, something like that, which, you know, great that it's not broken or torn something, but it's still high ankle sprains with, you know, three weeks left in the season. High ankle sprains can last a month, you know? So that's what I'm scared about there. And then Andrew L. Anthony went out as well. That's not great. No.

You know, after he had his emergence, I mean, I think we have more depth at the wide receiver position than the running back position. So, like, Roman Wilson can come back in and step in there. But it did feel like Andrell was going to step in. Then I don't know, Jermon Green went down, too, and had to be carted off as well. I don't know what ended up with him either.

I like him too, man. He's a lockdown DB. Yeah. Another guy we didn't see really play, or I didn't see, was Eric Aul. I wasn't sure if there was an issue with him. He got hurt at the end of the MSU game, and he was actually not in on Michigan's last couple drives against MSU, which I think obviously hurt Cade with, you know know that was his go-to guy against MSU um and then didn't play last

week uh or this week at all so I don't know I think that I uh but Harbaugh did say he's going to be back next week so he said all for sure we'll be back next week and then didn't disclose anything on Corum or Anthony. But I think what stinks there is two weeks ago, we were the healthiest team in America, it felt like, outside of Ronnie Bell. All of a sudden, and this is what happens in week nine for sure, right? This is what happens down the stretch of a season, but it just stinks that all of a sudden we've got three four or five guys that are out and now we're talking

about depth for sure man that's not great timing going into happy valley it's rough but every team's dealing with it it looks like so yeah for sure for sure um so yeah i think that uh i you know moving on to the defense though man they were locked down yesterday they they did what they needed to do um they there was a a long time where um it was like they indiana was hovering around 100 total yards through like into the third quarter. And they only ended up with 195 total yards, so it didn't even get to 200. 88 passing yards and 107 rushing yards. And I would love to know, let me see,

McCauley had 14 carries for 37 yards um that's a quarterback third string third string uh freshman he's gonna be good he's gonna be good someday he's been thrown in there right now and it's you know he's not ready at some point he's gonna be very good though um but you know i just don't think they have the talent anymore i i think they they lost a lot of guys but that dude he could scramble so i mean they with their actual running back they only had 11 carries for 34 yards um with childers and then six six carries for 23 yards with Irvin Poindexter. So, man, I mean, the defense led by – there were multiple times where it was like Hutchinson and Ojabo both getting to the quarterback at the same time.

They're fucking awesome, man. I feel bad for a freshman third-string quarterback that's got to deal with those two coming at you. Dude, somebody tweeted out uh they said hutchinson what do you have eight sacks on the year now he's on pace to to break woodley's record oh i think 12 but job was right behind him i'm pretty sure yeah dude i swear ojabo's got to have like three strip sacks too so uh zach shaw just tweeted it out in the last five games ajabo has 15 tackles seven sacks three pass deflections three force fumbles and 21 quarterback

pressures holy shit he had 26 combined snaps in 2019 and 2020. That's crazy. I mean, that is the biggest breakout year I've ever heard of, honestly. Oh, my God. And that's only in the last five games. So, yeah, man. I mean, Ajabo is killing it. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to be, you know,

on the opposite side of aiden hutchinson so they gotta focus if you don't focus on aiden aiden's gonna kill you if you focus on aiden then ajabo's gonna kill you so are we deu yet or what we might be man it might be you think about the guys that are in the nfl right now uh uche winovich gary quitty pay yeah pay is killing it right now he's gonna be probably you know defensive rookie of the year is my guess um i mean man it's a deu might be it that might beU might be it. That might be where we're at. And I think Braden McGregor coming up as well is going to be sweet. Yeah. I think next year will be his year, kind of break out. Yeah.

Well, the only bad thing is, is that we thought we were going to lose just Hutchinson. Now we may lose Ojabo and Hutchinson. I know. Yes. Oof. Yeah, that would be tough. may lose Ojabo and Hutchinson. I know. Yeah. I hope Ojabo sticks around, but I don't know what the point... What year is he? Is he a junior?

I think he's a redshirt sophomore or something. He's from Scotland? Yeah. He's a junior, it says on ESPN. Oh, junior. If his draft stock is high why would you why would you come back yeah i would uh i don't i don't know what class technically anybody is anymore because of the covid year yeah i i don't know i have no idea it's like what is

is this taking that into account is it i don't know. It's all a mystery. It's all a mystery, yeah. There's going to be still, like, for the next three years, there will be, like, seventh-year seniors that are on the team. Oh, man. Yeah, so, Ajabo's got eight sacks this year. Oh, wow. So, what does Hutchinson have, though?

Is he also at eight? I feel like I read that wrong. He might have went into the game at eight. Sports reference says he only has six. Hutchinson? Yeah. That's got to be wrong, right? No?

It's possible. Maybe it was Ojabo in that tweet that i read i don't know man my brain's in a blender today sunday scary's got me either way they're hey i here's my analysis they're good yeah i like that they're pretty good they're good they're pretty good that's the hard-hitting analysis you come to the blue by 90 podcast our brains don't function as well after a long tailgate no i do not it was a good one though shout out to everyone that came out for sure um you know what i think is super cool is that every week it seems like we get somebody that's like from out of town we had people from st louis from texas from uh tampa florida yesterday like it's really cool to see uh

you know just to have people up that come to ann arbor for the weekend uh and then they choose to come hang out with us idiots so you know that's yeah maybe not a great choice for them but we we enjoy it absolutely yeah we had about 100 people come through yesterday it was it was a big crowd it was yeah um so lots of beer box so um yeah i mean the the only thing that i wanted to talk about, which, you know, when you're talking about cause for concern, is just like you're up 17-7 at halftime, and then you can only put, you know,

12 more points on the board the whole game. I know your defense pitched a shutout in the second half, but these are just the times you wish that, all right, you're up 17-7 in the halftime. Come back out and step on their throat, right? Yeah, get in the end zone. I think what you said in response to Trevor Woods' tweet is, I think it's spot on.

I think they know that they have Moody, and he's going to be able to kick a field goal, so there's not as much pressure for them to score. That's just not a good way to play if you're going to be competitive against really good teams, right? I agree, man. You see Ohio State breaking games open and winning by 50. I don't know.

I'd love to see that in michigan but i was like i was kind of half joking when i said that but it makes sense i think it's not something that they like think about all the time but it's almost like a unconscious type of subconscious not unconscious subconscious type of thought right unconscious was what Jack was in the second half of the game yesterday. Yeah. Snoozing. Yeah. But I think it's like you have that in your back pocket,

so it's kind of there where you're like, let's not turn the ball over. Let's not, you know, do something stupid here. We can just kind of play it safe. And so, I mean, if you ask Josh Gaddis, 100% he's going to say we try to score every time we get into the you know red zone right but i think that it's just kind of like in the back of your mind that when you're when you get down there that you got moody and so it's a good thing you'd rather have that than have somebody who can't make it i still think like nebraska i mean nebraska god dang it you you have every chance every single week and what do you think i just can't

they just can't put it together did you see the stats that they're one in six in the big 10 and they've outscored their opponents like by 40 points total so like that one win over uh who did they who did they kill illinois minnesota uh northwest northwest yeah beat them by 50 yeah so they had like that was like a 35 point uh win over northwestern and like, you take away that, and they still – they've lost every game by less than, like, six points. That's crazy. Crazy. So, I do feel for some Nebraska fans out there. But, like, we needed you to win, like –

God dang it. Go win. Go Blue Parlay, man. I was trying to cash in. I know. They ruined it. Purdue held up their end of bargain they did they did so um you know that that would be my concern because what you had in the first quarter red zone trip

field goal in the uh second quarter you did get it in uh with with haskins i liked you know the two we got to give a shout-out to our tight end group. You know, Joel Huntingford was saying that they haven't gotten a touchdown yet as a group, and then Schoonmaker got out there and got two TDs yesterday. So, that a boy. They were pumped, too. The whole – I saw all of them come over to Schoonmaker after going nuts. They just needed those chains, man.

Needed those Cubanan lengths i know joel's got too much swag um yeah and but i did like us you know passing touchdowns we don't do that very often right and so kate i mean he's only got, six or seven on the year, I think. And then he had he had two yesterday, which is good. So I like that. But still, you had you just had too many. You had too many times where you got into into the red zone, came away with a field goal. When you get into the red zone six times and with a field goal when you get into the red zone

six times and three of them come away with field goals you know you have a 50 conversion rate that's not good right that's not great just frustrating it's not good and combine that with the fact that we tend to play for like third down and our third down conversion rate was we were three for 12. Jeez. It's like, what in the world? Thank God for this defense. Seriously. But like at some point, we're not going to be able to,

we're not going to be able to stop, you know, a Penn State or an Ohio State, right? And we're going to have to put up points. And so while 29 points is not bad, when you have the opportunity to score 50, that's when I get frustrated. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, Cade had seven touchdowns going into the day and had two yesterday, nine touchdowns on the year now.

I swear I thought he had more than that. No, man, we run it in every single time dude yeah so nine games nine touchdowns that's our stats yeah it also led to eight wins so you got to take that as well stats are stats you know i i wanted to ask you guys too. We talked about JJ. What did you, what did you think about having JJ in the game that much and how we did?

Because there were times where he looked okay, but I think there were also times where he looked like a definite backup. I thought that he played pretty well. I thought he played like a freshman. He made some mistakes, but he also made some good throws too right um i was kind of surprised we didn't use him really as a read option threat this game it felt like to me um but i guess if hasan is just like bulldozing guys like why so um yeah i mean it was kind of like one of those performances where I was like, yeah, he's fine.

Yeah, I think that's pretty good analysis. He I think after the last two weeks, it's very obvious that Kate is QB one and JJ is just not quite there. So I agree. It was weird. I think they they use JJ more like they used Cade yesterday. It wasn't like their normal, hey, we're going to come in and JJ's going to run it every time pretty much. But I do think there were times where, like, I get frustrated. All right, it's third and one, and everybody in their mother knows that we're

gonna run it up the middle with Hassan Haskins oh yeah yep and then we do and we get stuffed and it's like can we be a little bit creative here yeah you know and so that's where I would like throw JJ in there at least have a read option when Cade's in there you know that that's not even an option right so you're obviously you're just going to stack it in the middle so um but all in all i mean jj just need he's going to make mistakes but jj needs to get things under under the belts a little bit there was the one where he scrambled you know all the way over and then chucked it into traffic and it was almost picked off and it's just like man that is you don't need to do that you know so can we talk one specific

play now this is not jj this was kade i think um and i think it was like a fourth and one and we maybe needed like a foot and the play cock had like 25 seconds on it we were trying to sorry yeah the play clock and uh like we were trying to do all types of stuff to get the defense to like move off sides and like we were moving guys in motion and then kade tried to like snap the ball and then it turned out jim called the timeout like right at the last moment and then we put it like what was up with that i don't know i felt like it was a very obvious like hey we're trying to get him to jump jump jump and then we're gonna call the time out but then he he snapped the ball right and hassan had an opening and everyone's like oh let's go and then it's like well all right what are we

doing you know i don't know i first of all i cannot stand the all right we're gonna line up here and try and and get him to jump offside it works it works 0.1 percent of the time yeah and it's like all right you're gonna waste the time out just go punt you know like and keep that time out in your back pocket for what you may need it later and then you know what it's fourth and one go for it you're up like i don't know i mean obviously you don't want to do something stupid and give a momentum but man i mean if you don't feel like you can get you know three feet let's what are we doing here right oh yeah i don't know i agree that was a weird play that was just such a weird play i I was like, is this miscommunication between Jim and Cade?

Because then Cade came over the sideline and he looked like pissed off. And they were like kind of in each other's faces a little bit. Really? That's how it looked to me on TV. And so I was like, wait a second. Is this, you know, you guys not talking or what? There was also a really weird play on indiana side where they like false started but i think the center snapped the ball and then they just like everyone thought it was going to be

blown dead but they just went with it and then we stopped him it was a third down and they tried to string it out to the left and we stopped them yeah yeah i thought it was a false start too but they showed the replay and like the indiana line just like none of them moved and i was it was a false start too but they showed the replay and like the indiana line just like none of them moved and i was like wait a center snapped it right and then and then nobody moved right it was very odd so um i was glad that they stopped them because i was going to be so annoyed if they somehow got a first down out of that but yeah it was i mean i feel like we're we're reaching to find things to talk about because it was such a boring game it was just like it was a classic i i think what i'm frustrated with there is like yes you game plan to win the game that you're playing in right and you know

jim knew he could get out of here, win by three scores, you know, by getting Haskins 150 yards and you just run the ball and don't do anything crazy. But, like, don't you at some point want to run an offense that's setting yourself up for the next game and the next game and the next game? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, that'd be great. I don't know. game and the next game yeah 100 percent yeah they have big plays i don't know doesn't i feel i feel a lot better about them going into penn state now because i don't think penn state's as good as as we thought they were and it's a noon game not them playing at

night makes you feel a lot better too um i don't know man i do obviously yeah they do yeah he hasn't been 100 yeah he had but i i mean that that just like that's what frustrates me where it's like all right you know you can get out of here and get your win but like at some point either step on their throat make something happen take a couple chances like uh I mean this is exactly what you were talking about yesterday or last week Galen where it's like you know seven it's a 17 to 10 game and we're acting like we're up 30 right and we're like running the clock and it's like, you're letting them hang around and there's no reason for it. And thankfully Indiana is just not a good football team.

So they ended up being able to just overpower them. But you know, when you're playing good football teams out there, we saw it in East Lansing teams can can come back, and they have firepower. And guess what we played two out of the last three games? Two teams, actually all three teams have firepower on offense. So it's like you put yourself in a situation where you can give it up instead of take the shots deep when you have the chance. When you have a team on their heels, just step on their throat,

and Michigan does not do that, and it's really frustrating. Yeah. I agree. I'm just over here dying trying to figure out how to breathe. All right, me and Kalen will talk. You just shut up. I was here for the to view yeah i can't even think or talk keep uh keep stacking your poker chips over there

i know i'm trying not to you're trying to keep it off me um yeah i uh it's it's just one of those things where i think that if you wanted michigan go from good to great to elite, they need to be able to do that. So that's where, you know, you're happy with a 22-point win, right? But, like, should have been probably 35, should have been probably, you know, 42, something like that. I don't know. So maybe we're asking and nitpicking, asking for too much and nitpicking and whatever. But I don't know how I feel about it. So, you know, let's talk about the rest of the Big Ten, though. Yesterday, first off, you know, we talked about Michigan State, Purdue, just Purdue, the Spoilermakers. I love that name, the Spoilermakers. It's amazing.

Nebraska or Ohio State. Ohio State, they look so – sometimes they look incredible and sometimes they look so beatable. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, it's games like that in Oregon that makes me like – it gives me hope. And then, like, you see them play whoever

and they beat them by 60. Yesterday, I felt good about it. I wish fucking Nebraska would have taken care of business. Yeah, they're vulnerable. So we just got to take our shot when we get it. What was the stat line on Stroud?

Are you looking at that right now? Before it, I was just about to say it 36 for 54 for 405 like he's still putting up big numbers that's crazy that's insane numbers are you kidding me he did have two picks though he had two TDs and two picks and that was kind of what kept Nebraska in it so if you can make him turn the ball over, you know, he also fumbled. He lost a fumble, too. So they had – Geez.

Yeah, they had three turnovers, I think. So, yeah, I mean, I don't – they're not untouchable. We've seen them in previous years, and they've looked very untouchable, they're not untouchable. We've seen them in previous years and they've looked very untouchable. They're not untouchable. So I, I like, I like seeing that, especially late in the year. Cause usually when they look bad, it's like really early. And then by the end of the year, they don't look like they, like anybody can beat them. You know, it was the weird game. I mean, a couple of weird games that our

Wisconsin win is looking better, better every week. Wisconsin went out and beat Rutgers 52 to three. Jesus. I think Wisconsin figured out that they should just hand it to that huge freshman in the backfield. Yeah. Oh, you're, you're right. So what is it? Uh, Raylan Allen. Yeah. Yep? Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

15 carries for 129 yards, 8.6 average. Boy. Jesus. Boy, oh, boy. And then, I mean, Mertz still – Mertz played probably – it looked like his best game all year. 11 for 16, 240, and three TD tds one pick um i don't know they're gonna be ranked in the top maybe 16 17 something like that so that win looks really good on michigan's resume

now oh yeah the other one that was weird is illinois minnesota who has a chance to win the West, goes out and loses 14-6 to Illinois. They only put up six points on Illinois. What is going on? Illinois is hot. They're on a hot streak. They're on a hot streak. Brandon Peters just killing it. Seven for nine for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Jesus. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I don't know what's going on. I mean, can we just kill the West division? The Big Ten West is just a joke. Just make it one big division like Big 12 does. That's what the Big Ten needs to do. It's so the big 10 needs to do it's so stupid uh they don't have anybody in the whole

division who has less than two losses so it's just it's ridiculous um who else played let's see um not big 10 but alabama only beat lSU 20-14. That's crazy. Cincinnati almost lost. I mean, Tulsa had a very good chance of winning that game at the end, or at least tying it to overtime. Yeah, Georgia just beat the shit out of Missouri.

Of course. If they don't win an Addy, I don't know what to tell you, Bulldog fans. Oregon only beat Washingtonhington 2016 oregon yeah you're eight and one you you're you're you don't have the outside of ohio state you don't have good wins on your resume they they've like beat teams by nothing and having a loss to Stanford, who's 3-3. It's just that big win. Ohio State, man.

Stanford, Michigan fans, you may think that we have a bad coaching situation here in Ann Arbor. Stanford pays their coach $9 million a year, and he's 3-3 this year. So I think we're okay. okay we're in the pack 12 in the freaking pack 12 too gave up utah against them on friday night had three different 100 yard rush that's hard to do that's hard to do um let's see the uh iowa only beat northwestern 17 12 they squeaked it out spencer petrus who they say he's banged up but he got replaced in that game

um you know iowa once the number two team in the nation now looks like the number 25th team in the nation if that i don't know so it's just a weird year but like again the west just sucks ass it's so annoying so i don't know that's just me going on a rant getting on my soapbox so um who else played let's see see. Big 10, Big 10, Big 10. Why can't I find any Big 10 games? This is brutal. I think a lot of people had buys, but, like, yeah, I think you hit them all. Okay. Yeah.

All right. All right. Sounds good. Well, oh, you hit them all. Okay. All right. All right. Sounds good. Well, oh, Penn State, Maryland. Penn State beat Maryland 31-14. They had a pick six, I think, in the last, like, two minutes of the game. So, it was a 24-14 game, and Maryland kind of pissed it away. So, I don't think Penn State's playing their best ball right now. I mean, they lost three in a row before that game

and then go out and only beat Maryland by a couple scores there. Wow. So, yeah, I mean, look, Michigan's got a good chance to go into the – or not into Columbus, into the Ohio state game at 10 and one. Still, you got to go in there and play a good game and happy Valley, but not having that as a night game is gigantic for the atmosphere. And so you,

you got to go out there and play good football and, but Hey, like we said, it's all, it's all there in front of you. So let's we'll, we'll see how it pans out here. But I think you've got to feel good now all of a sudden.

Everyone that was into the depths of the depression last week, things flipped on its head really quickly. And that's college football. That's college football. You know, there's only – I think there hasn't been anybody that's run the table and gone undefeated in the Big Ten since like 2004 or something like that. 2003, maybe. So it's it. That's what happens in college football is somebody loses stupid games down the stretch.

And so if you're Michigan, yeah, the Michigan State game stings because it's Michigan State. But you're sitting at 8-1 with your only loss to still what's going to be probably a top-10 team, right? And so that's also an 8-1 team. You've got to feel good about where your football team's at right now. So positive vibes only. We're looking forward to next week. We'll have a couple other podcasts this week as well. But we appreciate you listening. Shout out to truly for,

So, Hey, it turned out to be, Oh, by the way, one more thing, the atmosphere inside the big house was awesome as well. Surprisingly, it was, it was a little bit dead because the game was boring, but pump it up was lit. Brad Robbins with the chair. He said that,
