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

Touchdown, Wolverines! today my man michigan legend better than jake butt that's what they're saying i don't know i've never heard anyone say that once in my life ian ian bunting is here in studio with us ian how you doing fantastic fantastic it's a beautiful sunday here in ann arbor michigan you know we might have to hit up the pool i was gonna say it's a nice little pool day yeah i don't hate that. Or wake surfing. Ian's a wake surfing legend after last week. I would love to go get on a lake. Okay.

Have you guys tried that before? No, I'm too scared. Too scared of the water. There's open water. It's like an inland lake. Yeah, you can talk to the sharks and fish out there. Well, yeah. I mean, you never know what's out there these days, right?

I don't know if you guys have seen the Meg. There's a sequel to meg there's a sequel to it meg too sure i've heard there's shit out there we don't know about exactly yeah and uh i yeah maybe in the pacific ocean i don't know about like an inland lake in southeast michigan i don't know they say bull sharks can uh swim up to i don't know a few thousand miles upstream in Mississippi River. That could be. Yeah. Who knows? Maybe they'll make their way to a glacial lake near you. Yeah. All right.

Yesterday, I mean, first of all, Dub, it is Victory Sunday. It is. Cheers. Is that a beer or? No, it's one of those ghost energy drinks. I'm not hungover today, but I'm just very tired. No free ads, but – No free ads.

It's no Blue by 90 beer. Well, so that was – what I was just about to say is we had a victory. We had multiple victories yesterday. One was on the field. What it was, 30-3, right, was the end, final score. The more important victory was the debut of Blue by 90 Beer, though. I would say a smashing success. That's a biased opinion, but that's me.

If I had to rate it out of 10, I can't put a 10 just because then there's no room for improvement. I'm going to say it's a 9.7. 9.7, I like that. That's a day in the world. The label was a huge win, too. Great design 9.7. I like that. That's a day in Port of Ivo. The label was a huge win, too. Looked incredible.

Great design job by Justin. The label, the label is like half the battle, I would say. Right? Yeah. You got to sell people

on the label. Yeah. More than half the battle. It was beautiful, though. Very unbiased. Yeah.

From an unbiased, you know, vantage point, I did. I did try it yesterday. It was delicious. And the label, A1. A1. Fantastic. It is very chuggable.

It was chuggable yesterday. It was beer bongable. It can also be a sipper, too. So I feel like it plays both ways right well it's got a little bit of an ipa taste without being you know heavy so ipa annoyingly yeah like strong your face yeah yeah right so i mean shout out to uh to north peak brewing we had the blue by 90 beer and then hail beer as well. The hail IPA. So, yeah, those I mean, those are two pretty good options. It's it's truly the Michigan game day beers like that's your beer selection for Michigan game day.

Who would have thought when we're chugging random beers over COVID can waste it on the podcast that we would have our own beer. I mean, actually, we were essentially speaking it into existence on those first episodes. Kept trying to. Where we would have like an entire six-pack of beer in 45 minutes. Yeah. A little bit of manifestation. A little manifestation, for sure. But, yeah, shout out North Peak. We appreciate you.

Come stop by the tailgate. We'll be there the next three weeks. You know, every game this year. But next three weeks, for sure, we got 3.30 um which thank god best tailgate time best tailgate time by far is a 3 30 uh start and then night game uh against bowling green as well could be dangerous i don't know i'm glad that we're we're working ourselves towards it right it goes noon then we got 3 30 then we got 7 30 we're going through our little uh tailgate training camp right now we do need some pre-season games to get going so as someone who's never really tailgated before because i've always been on the other end of it you're gonna have to

explain a little bit of the this process this history and you know some of some of your guys goals for this 330 oh that's coming up. I think we got to do like – Potentially my first real, real getting after a tailgate. We'll see. Oh, okay. I'm excited for this now. I think we got to do a little like breakfast buffet,

get some coffee out there. I like that. I mean, we'll get a little bit later start. Like I was in the lot at 6.30. Yes, it probably gets a lot at like 8.30. I mean, for setup, we'll be there a little earlier. But I think we'll start first crack of the beer at like 9. 9 a.m., I think.

Then you got a good six hours. Sure. Sure. Why not? Just enough time. Yeah, just enough time. It's tough to drink all day if you don't start in the morning you're damn right about that i feel like uh r.i.p jimmy buffett that's like a jimmy buffett no you know mentality right that one really hit me hard i this is you know that he was that was a special place in my heart that guy guy's music. I feel like we should probably

have a Margaritaville theme next week, right? Dude, I'm down. That'd be fun. Are we going to start? Let's do it. He would be smiling down. He would be smiling down for sure. Let's do that. Margaritaville themed tailgate. I like that a lot.

We're going to have to say that again. A little 90s tailgate the week after i don't hate that either sure i could do a 90s theme 90s like early 2000s theme love it love it yeah all right well if you're listening to this you better be there because we're obviously we're we're gonna have a little fun um that's for sure. So we, you know, I will say there were some bumps in the road. You know, things could have been better at the tailgate. We're learning. It is like those preseason games.

I feel like the team had the same thing. You know, maybe the O-line needed a little bit of, you know, some improvements. We need some improvements as well. So we'll be back. We'll be better. We'll learn, you know, just to have more success next time. But so, yeah, let's talk about this game.

I mean, I think the highlights, let's start with that. JJ looked unreal. 26 for 30 for three TDs. Like 26 for 30 is crazy. How many QBs are at the college level putting up 26 for 30 right now? Yeah, I mean. Very few. Statistically, I don't know, but it can't be that many.

When I was watching him, too, just from someone who has been kind of often doing their own thing and has only heard stuff about JJ and about Michigan like the last couple years, he looked great to me. I mean, he just looked so in control of the situation and poised and exactly what, as a teammate, you look for in a quarterback. Well, I thought it was awesome, too. Like, watching that game, I mean, JJ, I think he's always been, like, fucking fantastic,

but he was putting throws on the money. Like, double coverage, roaming in the end zone, just throws it right where he can get it. He put that on a line. That was amazing. Across the whole field, too. I think Swanky or somebody put out a tweet. They're like, JJ's fucking up our Dono-Blake-Corham-Heisman duo

because he's going to take over now. I think that's a serious thing, though. I honestly, I would say sitting here after week one, I wouldn't expect any three of those to actually be in the Heisman race because the productivity is going to be split amongst the three. It's no longer a one-man show with blake i mean you even saw what donovan did yesterday too where he he got more carries than blake did yeah i was nervous that blake was hurt i think he's fine i think

he's good but it definitely i i don't know if that was the game plan or what, but it definitely was very much a one-two punch with them being pretty much even rather than it being Blake first and Donovan second, didn't you think? Yeah. I mean, I think Blake got the fucking crowd rolling after that big run. I was wishing it would have been a touchdown down to two or three, but it was good to see him back and moving quick i feel like they all talking to justin about that too though you got it go ahead sorry yeah and i felt like everyone everyone all the skilled position players just felt really comfortable like jj just had that ability to like

look downfield and like connect with someone and just be like okay bomb it just felt really easy almost just fucking slinging it what is it like for you what does it feel like uh you know as an offensive player when a guy like you said jj it has that command and every like does it just make everyone else feel that much more comfortable when you have the leader that's calling the plays and he's just like in total control totally i think it it kind of you know emanates throughout the whole offense when the person who is the leader of that offense which is know, always the quarterback or almost always the quarterback, when he has that, you know, you can just count on him and it's a calming presence.

And it's like, you know, regardless of what's going on outside or what the crowd's doing or, you know, if you guys have a bad play, you fuck up a play, the one before, like, if you can just go back to that kind of grounding leader and that that person that has the poison the noise as one of our coaches used to always say I like that a lot yeah wow that's a little Tim Drevno special little poison the noise throwback that's like a name drop for Michigan fans yeah Tim Drevno yeah it is a huge confidence boost and something that keeps you guys going and keeps the offense just rolling through regardless of what happens

and able to be steady. Yeah, I think that's – I mean, it definitely felt like that yesterday. And I know you were playing for the Cowboys last year and didn't probably watch as much Michigan football as you would have liked to. But I definitely felt like that was the difference from last year, this year for J.J. Where last year, you know, he even said it, I think, in his postgame presser. He was like, you know, last year he was just getting going.

You know, he was not confident because he was battling with Cade for the job. He was still, you know, in his first starts of his, you know, college career, still figuring it out. And he was also hurt throughout the offseason, right? So now going into it with a healthy offseason and knowing that you're the guy, I think that's going to be the difference. I mean, if we can get Blake and Donovan going, like how dangerous is this offense with that three-headed monster? Dude, it's fucking crazy,

especially if we can get them receiving the ball out of the backfield too. Another way to work all three of them back into the Heisman, you know, get them in New York City. I'm still rooting for that. I do want to do a little tangent here, a little side note. All right. How do we feel about Coach Minter and his debut? Because I'm a little upset.

You're a little upset? What do you got? What's your beef? Didn't cover the spread. Okay. And it didn't hit the over. So I lost some money on a bet here. Gotcha.

So this is really just personal about you and your betting habits yeah yeah i need him to run that score up in a week one game i mean okay people are like go ahead we did we did fumble on the one facts why why are you letting guys fumble coach what are we doing here why is our defensive coordinator letting the offense what are we doing what are we doing um i mean but in all seriousness they'd like they didn't score in the fourth quarter i don't think and only had seven points in the third i believe is there in okay i'll ask it this way in with the college football playoff and all that stuff right now you're you know you aren't you trying to put up as many points as possible for your resume even if it's against

east carolina i still think a 50 to 7 game is more um you know it is more sexy to a college football playoff person than 30-3, right? 50-7 would have got me to spread me over, so I would have loved that. That's all you care about. But also, with Michigan being number two in the country, I think it's their spot to lose, right? Fair, but I don't know. I just feel like once it gets to the end of the year,

once it gets to the end of the year, those, like, you know, whoever's on that committee is looking at the East Carolina game and and i don't know they can only look at so many scores right so they're they're just looking at like the face value of it um from your perspective in like a game like that like obvious cupcake game let's call it what it is um like do you got does anybody care what the final score is as long as there's a win or i mean i think yeah people definitely care are you talking about people on the team on the team yeah yeah yeah i think like if it's a close game absolutely that that's like you know you want to handle your business and you want to make sure that you put a stamp on it and leave no doubt. I think, are people really concerned if it's 50-3 versus 30-3?

At that point, I think it's more about getting into your groove and making sure that you're knocking the dust off from offseason and getting people opportunities to get some time and and just get into the swing of things as opposed to strictly you know putting up as many points as possible yeah well how much leeway do you have do you feel like you have in one of those games then for like mistakes and learning curve and all that stuff because um you know your coach is out whatever um there's a lot of your your o-line coach and an offensive coordinator is out um do you have some room for improvement we obviously saw the offensive line like they they i think

there was some room for improvement with the run game and it started with the offensive line not making some some uh blocks do you feel like that they're going into this and it's like all right you know next week or when you're watching film all right we're um you know we're learning from this or is it like hey we should be fucking tightened up in week one i think it's unrealistic unrealistic to go into week one and think it's going to be a perfect game um and that it's the same thing like when you watch week one of the nfl the amount of penalties that are going to happen and there surprisingly weren't a ton of penalties yeah that's true that's true but i remember after week one our coach always coming in and being like, all right, you know, it's week one. We've been hitting just ourselves for the last month or whatever it is.

Like you have to get those reps in an actual game. There's no way to replicate that, right? You can have an open practice. You can have a scrimmage. You can have a joint practice with another team if it's in the NFL, but there's no real way to replicate an actual game quite, you know, even if it's preseason. Yeah. So I think there's always, yeah,

there's always going to be room for improvement after week one, and there's always going to be a little bit of, you know, getting the kinks kind of ironed out still. Yeah, that makes sense um it definitely felt like that like you know you get the cobwebs out a little bit like you said you you you know you haven't hit somebody full go in a long time right like even in camp you know even when you're you're it's a full live drill like you're not going to hit your own guy and try and knock him out right and so i think that that's where usually usually unless you got beef with him unless he you

know stole your girl or something um but uh you know the um i i do think it's just a little bit different you tell me but i think it feels like once you get into that first game everything's a little bit faster a little bit harder you know and it's finally like oh shit this is like truly game speed yeah and it usually you know you hit that where it's like all right there's a little bit faster it's a little bit harder the the things are happening a little bit quicker and it takes you maybe that a few reps or whatever to get into it, but then it starts to normalize, and then you're like, okay, the nerves are out.

You take your first big hit, and you're like, all right, I'm good now. Yeah, I love it. What I'm getting from this, Ben, is we think Michigan's going to cover, spread, and hit the over against UNLV. I've never made a sports bet in my life because I know damn well that I have, I have no control over it. I'm not betting on it. Good for you. I'd rather go waste my money on the blackjack table because at least I feel

like I have some. Yeah. Right. Right. Even though it's definitely out of your control, like you're at least there, you're making the bet. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that, right. Even though it's definitely out of your control. You're at least there. You're making the bet. Yeah, that's fair. You can't be that mad at Coach Minter, Jack. I mean, the head coach was our defensive coordinator, and he basically shut them out until the last, like, two seconds.

That's true. Hey, I'm just saying, you know, maybe Don Brown puts up a better show, and that's all. I'm just saying you know maybe don brown puts up a better show and that's all that's just i'm just i'm throwing out just ideas you just i will say that's a good point though kaylin like this probably was never going to be a sexy offensive game with jesse minter uh at as the head coach and both coach harbaugh and cheryl out, right? But I will say, so Kurt Campbell, the QB coach, I believe called the plays yesterday. I'll be honest, in all seriousness, I loved the offense yesterday. I mean, they threw it a lot.

A lot. JJ's throwing 30 times is way more than he did most games last year. And that's him throwing 30 times in what, three quarters? Right, that's a good 30 times in what three quarters right that's a good point as well you know yeah what's uh you know well and i think that ecu was stacking the box they were they were there to stop the run um and i think their defense was better than than a lot of people thought so um they i felt like they they felt that they had to throw sometimes. But I think it's really good for the offense to know, and it makes me as a fan feel at ease as well, to know, like, all right,

if somebody does try and sell out on the run, we can make it happen through here. Because I think that was like all last year, right? It was, you know, everyone's like, oh, JJ can't do it. You got to, you you know all they have is blake and dono and then jj comes out how about him throwing on the run out of the pocket he's incredible beauty it's great and i love the separation from the receivers too what were you saying i just love seeing the receivers get a lot of separation i felt like there were times last year i was like uh like they can't get a lot of separation but in this game like

it felt like everyone was running free all the time yeah i mean roman is fast as fuck dude he just looked like a man amongst boys yesterday he really did and it's so funny because he's just he's he's a little guy right like but but he i mean and which is kind of funny too because the number one in past years has always been the big tall receiver right but he looks natural in the number one and he made himself it was clear yesterday that he's the go-to target for for jj that's for sure yeah yeah um what do you think like from a receiver slash tight ends perspective too when jj is on the run or like when he's when it's when he's so good at moving around in the pocket keeping the play alive how does you know how does that impact you as as the guy that's trying to go out and

either run your route or stay you or break it off or whatever? I think it always makes it more fun, and it always makes it – like the play's never dead. Right. And that's where a lot of the big plays come from when either the pocket collapses or the quarterback just decides he's going to scramble or something something happens where the play is extended, that's where you get your really big plays that you get a 40-yard chunk

that wasn't even designed to be a 40-yard chunk. So that's the stuff I think that can make a game really exciting for an offense. If you look at Kelsey and like dude that the amount of production that they have from moments like that is part of the reason why they're so good well i mean there's the i think it's the clip from nfl films i can't remember if it was a super bowl or some other game in the playoffs last year where they like kelsey basically he they were lined up wrong and they still both said like one word to each other knew that where the guy was ran a completely different play and still had it perfectly yeah yeah that's just incredible and to be able to be on that same page is is really

unreal and that's just reps and which is another thing of where you were talking about earlier of JJ last year versus this year is like the more reps you have with the guys, the more you trust them and vice versa. They trust you. Like that's when you can start to do stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. And that's like you said, it just takes time. You know, in the first six games of JJ's career like that's not gonna happen but then you definitely felt that towards the end and that's why you know I felt like he was really

balling out in Ohio State you know second half of TCU like he was feeling himself and and now I just think he's so confident in his arm like he's he was truly letting it loose yesterday that's one thing I was gonna say because even like the ohio state game he kind of i mean cornelius was running some routes where he's wide open jk kind of just like lofted up and let him go get it i feel like he was like firing passes off to roman and like putting it right where it needed to be like he looked his confidence looked incredible the one the one to corelius was a laser. And Cornelius, like, barely – he had an unbelievable catch by him.

Unreal catch. To reach back and get it. But, like, I went and watched the replay of that in slow motion. And that was – I mean, he's throwing that thing as hard as he possibly can. I love it. Yeah. He's different, man. He's different.

I think, you know, I just think that if you still get that run game going, which I'm very confident that this offensive line will, you know, the offensive line is you have to realize they've never played together. You know, a lot of these guys, they have a new center. Drake Nugent is brand new. He's going to, you know, like you said, they just got to get reps together and they'll know who's blocking who in a lot of these guys they have a new center drake nuja is brand new he's gonna you know they like you said they just got to get reps together and they'll know who's blocking who in a lot of those situations you know even trente jones didn't get a ton of run last year excuse me last year um

you've got miles hinton nude ladarius henderson new you know like as much as they reloaded with carson barnhart keegs and zenter like there's still some new guys and you're just gonna you know need some time who who was the starting o-line yesterday i believe it was nugent at center kitten uh keegan and zenter at guards and then barnhart and miles hinton i believe at the tackles okay cool and then trente got a decent amount of run as well yeah i saw him running like six offensive linemen package a couple times too with all all six yeah um yeah i think i mean they're gonna be fine i you know i i think that the center position is the most important right um to run i mean there's a lot of arguments for what's most important but you got to get the

center like ingrained in the offense and then that's gonna that's when it's gonna start clicking can we talk about ernest haussmann dude he's a beast what a fucking beauty that guy he's a beast i mean especially for coming into a linebacker room of Junior Colson and Mike Barrett, who are already super, very, very high-level guys, and to be able to come in, he's still a sophomore. Ernest Hausman? Yeah, he was a freshman at Nebraska last year, I believe. Oh, shit. I was thinking he was the guy from – yeah, no, he's a sophomore.

Did the guy from Coastal get in? Did he play at all? Josiah Stewart? Yeah, he was in a decent amount. Okay. Yeah, Hausman. Hausman was really good. Derek Moore is an absolute beast as well.

Yeah. How about Josh Wallace? He definitely solidified that second-quarter spot. That was cool. That was a nice little play. They didn't call it a pick, though, did they? No. Did they call it back?

I think they called it back. But that was a super athletic play by him. Yeah. Still sweet. Hoping that Will Johnson and Rod Moore are back at some point. But I thought Keon Saab played really well for his first ever start. I heard his name number called a few times. Yeah, I thought he was really solid.

And Makari Page playing like a vet for sure. He's come a long way since a few years ago. Donald, you want to come on the pod? Donald. Big pod. So I can talk in the mic? Yeah, you can talk in the mic. Who is he?

This is my Blue 90, guys. Okay. Yo, this is Big Dono in the building, man. Shout out to Blue 90, you heard. What up, Dono? What's going on going on man what you got for me man is this microphone actually yours yeah it's on oh yeah it's on what do you got what you got i got a workout to do in a second man what you got for me man what uh what do you think ah no i can't ask that question i can't ask you a gambling question. Come on, don't stop BSing me. Kalen, you ask him a question.

My questions are going to be stupid. No, you got to give him a question. There's no such thing as a stupid question. I just want to know gambling questions. We don't need to talk gambling. But how did you feel about yesterday? You feel good? Bro, I feel great just for the fact of how well the quarterbacks

and the receivers played. Because, like, I know that their initial game plan was to stop the run. And for the most part, they did. You know, overall, we had, like, 120 yards rushing. But that's kind of going to have to, like, lighten everything. That's going to, like, have to have, you know, like, instead of, like, you having to stop the run, like, you got to stop the run and the pass, you know.

So I'm kind of grateful that how we saw like eight, nine people in the box every play. Like you're going to have to lighten that up, you know. I feel that. I feel that. That's what we talked about earlier. We talked about it earlier, dude. You're going to pop on off here next week.

I can feel it. We're going to manifest it on here right now. Oh, God. Just give me... You know, I just need a little something, you know? I had people in my face all day yesterday, dog, which they did a hell

of a job. I'm talking to a diva, so I'm like, y'all are tripping, bro. Safety's flying down. The linebacker's just feeling the defensive line is twisted. I'm like, y'all are tripping. I told the coaches yesterday, I'm like, bro. I'm talking today, because I'm like, bro, I got like six carries by five yards. I'm like, bro, this is not like me right here.

But all you need is that little bit of space, and that's all it's going to take. That's all it takes. We know what that top speed is like. They've got to pick their poison. That's what I'm saying, man. At some point, especially like you said, when JJ is balling out with those receivers, like our man CJ out there, then at some point they're going to have to defend that.

They're going to have to. Yeah. That's going to open up for you and Blake. That's right, man. Anything else, man, I got a workout to do, man. I can't begin to ask you and Blake. That's right, man. Anything else, Mike got a workout to do, man. Go get your lift in, bro. Go get your lift, bro. That was great,

cuz. That was great. We appreciate you. That's it. All right, Amir. Shout out to our boss. Go follow our boss on Instagram. I'll write down a good one for you later I know what a beauty that guy oh man

I mean it doesn't give out problematic questions I'm like I can't ask that do not compromise our running back I thought you had a good one and then then you're like, they're all gambling. I was like, oh, no. Yeah, I can't do that. We were talking a little bit of quantum physics with him earlier this morning.

Yeah? He's got an interesting brain, I would say. He's a deep thinker. He's a deep thinker. Yeah, I can definitely resonate with that. Yeah. Some poor guys have brains too, you know. They've been rattled a little bit, but, you know,

it just opens up a new line of thinking, right? Some new brain cells. Yeah. As Coach Harbaugh always used to say, probably still does, body craves contact. Oh, yeah. That's a classic one. Man, Donald, what a character.

Just incredible. How about him? He's just working out here, and he walks right in. It's like, what do you need? What do you need? But, Kalen, Jack, you guys had a chance. You had your chance to ask my question. Dude, I was flustered.

I'll be honest. I had nothing. My brain went silent. More silent than it already is that's tough that's tough oh man i love him i love him we'll catch him now now that he's been on the pot he's gonna pop one off next recurring guest yeah soon to be a recurring guest yeah all right if he scores then that's pretty much credit to us i would say you'll know why yeah i think he'll have to come on every weekend after that.

He'll have to come on. We'll ask him a gambling question. All of a sudden, there's going to be another NCAA investigation going on. That's what was going through my mind. I'm like, I can't do that. Jackson, like the FBI. Speaking of Coach Harbaugh. Speaking of FBI.

Where do you think Coach Harbaugh watched the game yesterday? I'm sure he just watched it at his house, right? Did he watch the game is a good question. That's not a good question. I don't know. Of course. Do you think he didn't watch the game? I don't know.

Sometimes there's like, haven't you seen Moneyball? He's like, I don't watch. Maybe he's like like it's like you when you're not in control of it yeah and you then you don't want to watch i'll be honest i was kind of expecting to maybe see him at brown jug you know have a little burger at the bar he wasn't there he wasn't there that would have been like incredible if it wasn't even like a stage thing, but he just showed up and sat at the bar by himself. That would be a lecture. I do think I bet you

that he was watching it with Jack, right? Or was Jack on the sideline? I didn't see Jack on the sideline. No, he was there. He was there? Okay. Phenomenal guy, by the way phenomenal one of my all-time favorites he's one of a kind yeah literally there's one jack harbaugh in the world has one of the best muhammad ali stories what is it let's talk i i'm gonna probably butcher it the

based on what he says but the the gist of the story is that um and he got he like he told this to us when we were i think it was before one of our games and he gets up there he's like tell them you know his jim was like tell them how many stories like i don't know that he goes right into the story and he's's talking about how, you know, Muhammad Ali was beating someone so badly. Beating someone so badly. He's like, he's punching him. He's dunking him. He's like, pow, what's my name?

Pow, what's my name? And he says it. And I asked him at the golf tournament. And I was like this far away from him. And he did the same thing. I was like, man, I miss that Muhammad Ali story. And he's like, oh, what are you talking about? Pow.

You got me. You got was so good. But then he went through and told me how he was telling that story. I don't remember the exact, you know, the whole story, but he was telling that story in front of the Ravens one day when he was at practice at one of John's practices. And he was telling it in front of the whole team for wise words. And he can tell. He's like, I'm looking at these guys,

and they're all like looking over my shoulder and looking. And he's like, what's going on? Why are they all looking at me so weird? And he said he turned around, and Muhammad Ali was standing behind him. Seriously? And he was like, this was like later on in his life. And he was, you know, barely able to stand and walk. And he was like, oh, my God.

I just told this whole story about this guy. And he's fucking standing right behind me this whole time. He said he was so embarrassed. Embarrassed? Really? I thought it was like, so it wasn't like a planned thing? Like he was telling the story? No, he didn't know.

That's amazing. That's amazing. That's wild. If you ever see him and get a chance to talk to him, you should ask him to tell you the Muhammad Ali story because it's fantastic. The funny thing is that you say that, most people are probably like, when am I ever going to get a chance to talk to Jack Harbaugh? He would talk to anybody. Yeah.

And he'll, like, no matter who you are, you could be the president of the united states or you could be you know just some random michigan fan off the street and he'd sit there and talk to you for an hour yeah yeah he is a a genuine genuine guy and just it's so cool that he's always around yeah you know and i know that coach harbaugh jim i know that he loves having him there what do you think like you know so coach harbaugh named him what an associate head coach or whatever for these games which is kind of you know everyone makes jokes and it's a funny thing and it's like so coach harbaugh right to do that but like what do you think jack actually

brings to the table because i feel like behind the scenes there actually is some true value to that. Let's not forget how much experience and history that man has in coaching football. If you want to know why Jim is the way that he is, look at that man. If you want to know why he's so into and so passionate about what he does and about coaching football and playing football, it's because of that guy. Yeah. I mean, he birthed two incredible football coaches that have had the success at the highest level.

Yeah. That man can bring a lot of perspective. Yeah. Oh, I bet. I would love to see a day in the life of Jack Harbaugh. What's that? I would love to see a day in the life of Jack Harbaugh. What's that? I would love to see a day in the life of Jack Harbaugh. Just follow him around. What does he do?

I bet you... I mean, it's probably... We need to have... You know how they put the cameras on a cat or a dog as they go out? I think it'd be similar where he's just like... Whatever grabs be similar where he's just like you know whatever grabs his attention he's just like there but he's so present wherever he is he's like that's the

only thing that's happening in the world exactly which is awesome yeah that's why he i think you know he's so likable because like you were saying if he's talking to you, you would think you're the only person on planet Earth. He's locked in. Yeah. Oh, he's so dialed. Jimmy's like that too, isn't he? He's just like they don't let outside things distract them at all, which is awesome.

Yeah, I think transitioning that to the free hardball shirts from JJ and the rest of the team and all that stuff, how much did we love that? First of all, I want to call out the haters online, Michigan State, fans of Ohio State, the rest of the world that are all hating on this. It's like, okay, first of all, they're all like, oh, it's self-imposed, as if JJ was the one that said, said yes I think coach should be suspended like no they they it's and they're self-imposing because of the NCAA right so like I I just think that's such a stupid narrative but for me what really comes out of it is how much this team

loves their head coach and loves where they're at right now right like the fact that that jj's you know showing that they put up the fours they do all that like that just shows to me the signs of an incredible culture and the fact that they truly are we kind of said i i said it a few weeks ago when the suspension came down like they really are going to use this as a chip on their shoulder and rally around it i think oh yeah i love to do when i saw that train formation i was like this is that was such a classic jim harbaugh thing too i love that that was a great way to do it um yeah i mean i you know i loved it and i think that i don – I don't know what they'll wear next week, but maybe it's just khakis. Who knows?

Come off the bus in khakis? I love that. Absolutely. I think it's just awesome, like you said. They're just supporting their guy. That's what it comes down to. And I think it's easy to read way deeper into it than you know well i don't know what stories are out there but it seemed like you were nodding referencing something that

maybe people are extrapolating something from that that's trying to put a spin on it but like did they like their head coach wasn't there at the game like they're supporting their head coach yeah it's not that deep because that's really yeah that's a hundred percent that's it um so you know the haters are going to be there forever there's no doubt especially you know we've noticed in the in the past two years the haters for michigan come out in tenfold when they're good when they're at the top that's when the the most haters of michigan come out in tenfold when they're good when they're at the top that's when the the most haters of michigan come i don't know dude i think people just love to hate on michigan forever constantly good bad did you feel that going into every stadium oh yeah we

always got people's best game and that's why you come to michigan you know that's why that's why people when they're 17 16 18 years old like decide that they want to go to michigan is because like yes you have a target on your back but there's a reason and it's because of the history and the tradition and what the team does year in and year out. I love it. I love it. It is – I mean, it's definitely – I will say it's an interesting dynamic of everything because Michigan, I think, like you said, no matter what, whether they're at the top or the bottom,

you're still getting everyone's best shot and everyone wants to take advantage of you or wants to be the guys that do beat you. Right. Right. And that's when you know you're doing something right. Exactly. If you are getting everyone's best shot, it's because it's coming from a place of respect.

Whether they admit that or not is one thing, but there's obviously a level of respect for the program. And it's the same thing with like in alabama like anyone who goes and plays alabama is like they're trying to knock off the best i i forget who was saying one of the guys on the team maybe a couple weeks ago like in order to be the best you got to beat the best and that's wherever you stand in that pecking order. Like if someone is above you, you're giving it, you know, it's no secret that you're trying to knock that person off and vice versa. If someone's below you, there's no secret they're trying to knock you off

because that's how you get to where you want to get. I love it. I mean, I think it's an interesting and it's an interesting way to think about things for Michigan this season, because they're going to be the hunted for the entire year. Right. Like even for Ohio State now, they've become the hunted in Ohio State is the hunter. Right. Like, you know, I think that it's it's it's just very different from the last 10 years, right? So my question would be, how do you handle yourself? Do you handle yourself differently?

Or is it, you know, are you going about things the same way as if you didn't win anything last year. I think you have to bring the confidence of, you know, knowing that you can achieve what you have achieved because you put it on tape. But also, if you rest on your laurels, that is gone in a second. All it takes is one day, and that's, you know, it wipes off anything you did last week, anything you did last year. Like, it is – it's such a trap I think you have to approach it as if you are the one who's trying to knock the big dog off every single time no matter who it is you're playing because that's how you stay you know hungry and not fall into that

trap yeah so go ahead Jay I was gonna, that's, I think, you know, the perspective of where, you know, it sounds like the program's at and like JJ, like those guys being like, Hey, like we were what 13 and all last year lost in the college football playoff. Like we know we can have the success, but it's like, we got to take it a step further. It seems like they have that mentality and I hope they do.

And it feels like they do where it's like, we got to still go out and we still have something to prove every single week. Absolutely. Which is cool, man. I mean, everybody's talking about this is Harbaugh's best team that he's ever had, and now we've seen J.J. is just a monster at quarterback that we already kind of knew,

but he's slinging the ball around. We know we've got two incredible running backs. We've got great receivers. Defense is great. I mean, it seems like this is the year, but I don't – it just seems like they're not letting it get to their head, and they're like, hey, we still know that we've got to be able to beat Georgia. We've got to be able to beat the best teams in the country

to prove that we're number one. Yeah. Yeah, if you think these guys are satisfied with going to the playoff and losing like you don't know these guys and yeah so that's not coming from a place of like you know talking shit about that i i was never in the playoff as a player and so they like it's it's not enough unless you you come home at the end of the season with a win, you know, at the highest level. And that, I think, is definitely not lost with, it seems like,

with the guys on this team. Yeah, that's fucking cool. Yeah, I think it's huge too. And this speaks to some of the coaching, is getting your players bought in and like getting a chip on their shoulder even if they don't need a chip on their shoulder right we saw it with like georgia last year where they're literally just like making up like nobody thinks you can win even though they were national title holder right so like getting the team to like you know buy into that like you know nobody believes in us but us i think there's a lot

of value in that too totally agree totally agree and you got to remember too like the guys on this team are like 18 19 20 21 years old yeah like there's uh the the level of maturity that some of these guys are showing is like – is incredible because it's really easy as an 18-year-old kid if you come in and all you know is win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win. Like it's not an easy thing to handle as a young kid. Right. Hard to keep up. Or at all.

Even as an old kid right hard to keep at all even as an old kid yeah and you're also like you're the you're the best guy in your high school team right yeah and you come in and you're fourth on the depth chart or something like that as a skinny little freshman that's just trying to find his way oh yeah that's super hard to to you know grasp because you're the king you were just the king and you've been told you're the king and the recruiting process and all that then you get on campus it's like all right you're you're nothing you know essentially you got to earn your spot i do think some guys respond well to that some guys don't yeah there's i mean there's been plenty of people in people throughout college football

and pro football and whatever that you come in and you expect that it's just going to be as easy as it was in high school. And, you know, for most guys – for a couple of guys, they're just, you know, hands in whatever they say over the competition and they can, like, come in and be a day one starter. But like most guys are not like that. I can only speak for myself, but like when I got to Michigan as a freshman, I was like 220 pounds, 225 pounds, baby. And like I needed a full year to even get strong enough to be able to play college football i mean even like like last year

jj is a five star one of the top recruits in the country at any position it still you know takes him um or sorry two years ago but you know what i mean like it's still it took him a whole year to get the starting job will johnson was a five star you know and it and it took him half the year to to win that role like it's just really hard when you're you know unless you're like truly the guy like it's it's really difficult um but you know I think that honestly what I love about this team is like there's five-star guys that don't act like five-star guys like they all even blake and donovan you know we just heard him giving shout outs to everybody they act like they're you know nobodies right essentially they act they love the rest of the team and they give props to everybody

you know so i think that what is like what does that have on the impact of the team as a whole a huge impact and that's that's a thing. And that starts from the top. You know, I've been on a lot of football teams in my life. And the ones that have been the most successful, from my experience, are the ones where the locker room is the tightest and where it's not. We're all like, for example, when I was here, it was always, hey, if you go talk to the media, if it's a positive're all like for example when i was here it was always hey if you

go talk to the media if it's a positive you're talking about your teammates if it's a negative you're talking about yourself and that's just that is the culture here that's just how you do it and that's like a very you know classic michigan even just a football culture thing is like, you got to be able to handle that. You got to be able to handle the shit. If you're going to go out and talk about it. Yeah. Well, yeah. And I think that it's all is all as well while you're winning.

Yeah. You know, and then like, you you know we saw it in 2021 um there are two ways that you can respond to that michigan state loss right devastating loss that to your rival that at the time like knocked you out of contention took away your undefeated season essentially and i think that there are a lot of teams out there that they fold they start you know instead of talking instead of taking the blame by themselves like you said they're pointing at the defense you know the offense is saying well if you guys would have just made that stop then we win and then the defense is saying well if you didn't fumble then you know then we

win but instead like they took it upon themselves to get better and and you know own it own it and that's what led to their run i think for the past you know 18 games now right more than that probably but it really you know the culture shift has been the biggest piece and like you said i i think people underestimate that because you can have as many as much talent as you want but if you're not all on the same page you're not gonna you know go out and win a championship right right and like you want to look around the uh big 10 at all oh yeah good call wrap it up i was just gonna say yeah like like you said, it's really easy to be a tight-knit group until something bad happens. And that's when you really see if you're

actually a tight-knit group or if you're just a group that says they're tight-knit. Yeah, I like it. I think Michigan's in it. Wish I would have thought of that earlier um so uh yeah let's look around the country real quick um i think there are some good games i'll we'll get to the big 10 but how about colorado are they the real deal i fucking love that quarterback man dude he's still 510 yards. Travis Hunter also, what, he had like 20 snaps on offense, 30 snaps on defense or something? Yeah.

Did they say he played like 120? I don't know. Something crazy. I can't remember who was saying that, but that's absolutely insane. Here's my take on it, though. To be honest with you, I'm still doubting. I'm still a hater and a doubter of colorado because baby because i think tcu stinks i think tcu lost everybody last year and so i think

that win at by the end of the year is not going to look like great and i say i think colorado is still going to it's a good win for them coming off a 1-11 year, like still a really good win, all things considered. But I think that at the end of the year, they're still going to be like 6-6, and TCU is not going to be good either. That's not going to be a good win. As a fan of a football team that lost to TCU the last game of the year last year,

I would like to think TCU is a very, very good team. I'm going to push back on that one. I think they've got a great culture. And I just think Colorado is the real deal. You know, they should be a top five team after that win. All right. There you go. I like that spin.

I like that spin. Love their coach. Love their coach. Bowling Green, who we play in two weeks, lost to Liberty 34-24. So that should be an absolute blowout. Bowling Green, who we play in two weeks, lost to Liberty 34-24. So that should be an absolute blowout. I did see UNLV beat Bryant University, like, by a lot. So maybe – Community college somewhere?

I don't know. It's got to be FCS, right? Like, I don't know. So we'll see. But they at least got – they're 1-0. So battle of the undefeated. That's what I'm what i you know that's how i'm pinning it um let's see iowa kade mcnamara 24 14 he was 24 points is a lot for the for iowa that's a lot yeah were they all they weren't all defensive points did you guys see that stat it may have been fake it may have been real but it was like the first time that iowa's scored an opening drive

with a passing touchdown since 91 so i saw that like btn put that out i think or something like that is an insane stat how is that possible i i'm like i don't know if it's like fake or not but it's believable enough to be real yeah i i mean here's my take on it kade makes them better for sure absolutely call makes them better for sure i still think they need more than two new guys to make that offense that's to make that offense good at all. Hey, man, what happens if they win out? Could happen. It's a good question. Shout out Cade.

Shout out Cade. That might be Battle of the Undefeateds. That might be Battle of the Undefeateds, too. You never know. Let's see. Shout out Kirk Ferentz real quick, too. Shout out Kirk Ferentz for just getting a lifetime contract for going 8-4 every year. He's the man.

Finesse of the world. Yeah. Big culture guy. Big culture guy. Wisconsin beat Buffalo 38-17. They looked all right. How did Tanner Mordecai do? I mean, I think they did all right.

I have no idea really, but I was watching the Malusi guy and then Braylon Allen. I think they're running back. Their run game is pretty good. I like Fickle. I think he's a good coach. Yeah. I know we wanted him, or I'll say I wanted him that 2020 year,

trying to get rid of Harbaugh. Yeah. No, I know. Not my proudest moment. Ohio State wanted him too, I think. A lot of people now are like, we should have went with Fickle over Ryan Day. Oh, yeah.

Speaking of the devil, 23 points for Ohio State. And what? There was like three targets between Harrison Jr. Yeah, Harrison had two catches for 18 yards, I think. That's tough. Is McCord bad? I hope so. I think there's two questions here.

Because one was like, is McCord a Heisman versus just a good quarterback? Or is he just, he's bad, bad, you know? Cause like you're, you're, you know, it's tough to be CJ Stroud, right. With how good he was last year. Except for against Michigan, where we, I don't know if you know this, but they only scored three points in the second half against which is tough. But yeah, I mean like, I don't know. McCord did not look comfortable in there.

I love it. Ohio State quarterbacks, they always start really poor, right? Like even C.J. Stroud, remember the fan base hated him at the beginning. That's just – Really? For them. Yeah, I mean, again, I will just like – I won't believe it until I see it. You know, I need more than one game to see this

because they could for sure come out tomorrow or next week and put up 70, you know, of those. Let's not forget how dangerous that team can be and is. I think they obviously have a very good system down there and they've had some great quarterbacks great great quarterbacks like penciled in starter or they still have like some sort of battle going on down there do we know i've never even seen any other guy right no i mean we did in like camp i don't know did he play yesterday once because they really didn't like they weren't up enough to put in i mean they don't back up

i will say in indiana stinks in my opinion like they're honestly so they were i really do believe you know maybe their defense is better i guess guess. But, yeah, I don't know, man. We'll see. I'm just throwing it out there. I'm not expecting it. What if Ohio State's just like 9-3? What if they're 9-3? I would be a happy guy.

That'd be great. I don't watch enough sports to comment on this conversation. I also don't have Wi-Fi right now, so I have no TV. Living that caveman lifestyle. They're coming on Wednesday to fix it. He's a monk right now. I'm more a history channel, science channel kind of guy. There you go.

You going with Xfinity, AT&T? What do you got? We've got Xfinity Fiber, I believe. That's one of those words i don't know what it means but it sounds fancy i think it means fast you would think but it actually as of this past week means no wi-fi not great so far yeah i feel like that is definitely it's like 5g like they just made up a word and they're like, this is sweet. And now, you know, now we all are just like, okay, we believe it

because we don't know enough about it to just get it. Like what else am I going to do, not get Wi-Fi? Right, exactly. What about Penn State? Yeah, I was just going to say. I mean, it was a slow start, I thought. I thought West Virginia was hanging in. I watched it last night. West Virginia was hanging in there for a while. uh yeah i was just gonna say right i mean it was slow start i thought i thought west virginia was hanging in i watched it last night west virginia was hanging in there for a while but i think drew

allard is the real deal um as the penn state quarterback and their two running backs are studs so i i don't know i mean here's my take i guess my take is that Drew Adler and J.J. McCarthy will be better than whoever Ohio State's quarterback is for the year. I love that callback right there. Nice. That's good. There you go. Is J.T. Daniels still the quarterback at West Virginia?

Yes, he was. He's got to be 28, right? I was just going to say, like, he's got to be old as fuck, I guess. He's on his third or fourth school now what do you start at usc to georgia oh yeah then lost he's like lost every qb job that he's transferred to win until martell i don't know um maryland beat the shit out of – who was it? Towson, 38-6. I mean, that – I'm looking ahead.

That could be our trap game. It's in between Penn State and Ohio State. I'm a little worried about that one if they have a pretty good offense there. Yeah. Wait, what? Were we talking about JT Daniels? Yeah. He's a QB at Rice. Wait, what? Were we talking about JT Daniels? Yeah. He's a QB at Rice.

Shut the fuck up. Wait, was he not? Who was there? Oh, yeah. Something green. Hunter Green or something. I almost said Riley Green. That would be incredible. Riley Green played football in college.

Did he? Jacksonville State or something like that. See, he could be. He could be. He could be. He came back. Prove me wrong. Love that guy's music.

I love Riley Green on the Tigers. Yeah, there is also Riley Green on the Tigers. There is. I thought that's who we were talking about. No, I was talking about the country singer. So he plays baseball, sings country, and plays football. I had some belief in this. He's the QB at Rice.

He's the center fielder for the Tigers. And he's like one of the most popular country singers out. It's unbelievable. What a stud. A multifaceted human being. Illinois had to kick a field goal to beat Toledo as the buzzer went off. Strong program down there in Toledo. They are.

The Rockets are strong. Brett Bielema, he probably tweeted about Michigan like something. I don't know. He's just a complainer. You know how they used to, like, the opposing fans used to say Brady Hoke, like, he looks like he smells like hot dog juice. Brett Bielema looks like he

smells like hot dog juice. I don't see why a man hokes like that. I love Brady Hoke. That's what people are saying about him. Brady Hoke would be joking if you're listening to this that it's not me saying that. I love Brady Hoke. That's what people were saying about him. Brady Hoke would be a joke if you're listening to this that it's not me saying that. I love you. Did we miss any Big Ten games, Kalen? I don't think so.

I think those are the big ones. Purdue lost. MSU. We haven't talked about MSU on Friday night. Big win. Big win. Big win. Ch win. Big win. Chippewa, is there a juggernaut?

Fire up, baby. Dan Lefevre, Antonio Brown. Let's also not forget Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush. Please. That's an all-time name right there. That is. Cooper Rush.

Great golfer, too. I think he's like a maybe two or three handicap. Wow. How are you – He starts spreading around the athleticism, Doug. It's a quarterback thing. Well, I never said I was a two or three handicap. Well, he needs to spread around.

He needs to help. Yeah. That's super unfair, honestly. He was a great golf buddy back in Dallas. He and Sean McEwen, Ben DiNucci, Damian Radley for a little bit. Speaking of the Big Ten, Northwestern and Rutgers are playing right now. Really? Really?

Yeah. 7-0 Rutgers at the end of the first. There you go. Rutgers-Northwestern has got to be like – I mean, that game has got to be the Peacock one, right? Like, we can't be doing this. Right. Quintessential Big Ten football.

Because I don't think – we can't even, like, watch a replay of that game. No, it's so stupid. So stupid. A.J. Henning, one catch for 26 yards who's it play for northwestern no shit yeah interesting um lsu florida state tonight that's gonna be a fun one i'm excited and then um our clemson tigers Tigers tomorrow night versus Duke. Go Tigers. Go Tigers.

I've got a question about the transfer portal. Oh, love it. Are kids just allowed to transfer without sitting out? Yeah. As many times as they want? No, I believe it's one time. It's one time. I don't know.

It's one time, and then you can do it again, but you have to sit, right? Are you sure? You can use your fifth year to basically sit. Okay. Okay. So one-time transfer, and then you can grad transfer. Got it. And start.

Which it feels like every guy graduates in three years now. I don't know. That seems difficult to do while playing football, but they all do. A lot of them maybe start early. Yeah, that's true. They do start a semester early usually because they're early enrolled.

Probably doing summer classes and shit too. Yeah, that's a good point. How do you feel about the portal? I don't know. I think probably for a player, it gives them a lot of flexibility to go do something that's in their best interest, but I can also see from the other side of it,

if there's nothing stopping them, then it's like you put in a lot of work to recruit someone and and uh if they leave after one year like let's say you get there and you're you think you're going to start as a freshman you don't and you just decide to leave because of that i think that that may be um is not the best thing, even for the kid. When you are... Yeah. Going from Ohio State to Texas. I mean, it worked out for him in Texas, but... Yeah.

There's always going to be... There's always going to be, you know... I think there's success stories there and, you know, not success stories. Yeah. I also think it helps out programs like Michigan, too, where you've got a great culture. Like, you're probably not going to have, you know, guys transfer like that.

Yeah. Well, and it'll be interesting to watch good culture. To watch experiments like Colorado, right. Teams that are entirely built from the whole transfer portal, basically. Yeah. If they turn out to be a great team, it's like, does culture, how much does culture matter if you just have incredible athletes to rebuild your program?

Yeah. Well, I think part of whation is doing there is culture though right like that's what that's his whole i think at least from what i've seen again i don't watch a ton of the old uh sports channels but from what i've seen and heard of him is like he's trying to be a culture guy. And he's I mean, he's definitely an infectious personality enough to where he can totally create a culture around that. And I mean, it seems like the guys love him. I don't know. Yeah. Which I don't know, man. You don't even have Internet. I don't know if I can trust you. I wouldn't I wouldn't trust me. I. Well, let's ask this one last question to you, and then we'll wrap up. Are you – what, Dono?
