Blue By Ninety - MARGARITAVILLE TAILGATE + BEAT UNLV

Episode Date: September 7, 2023

THE BOYS ARE BUZZIN' AND READY FOR TAILGATE NUMBER TWO.

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

Touchdown, Wolverines. All right. Welcome back to Blue by 90. I'm Justin, joined by Jack and Kaylin and Tanner, as always. And Tanner. And Tanner. And Tanner. I'm sitting here, sipping on an ice-cold hail Michigan IPA. I'm jealous. I'm sitting here sipping on an ice cold hail Michigan IPA.

I'm jealous. I'm jealous. Sounds amazing. Dr. Pepper, you know what I also have? I also have a nice crisp blue by 90 beer as well. Put that in the channel. Game Day Ale is what they call it. I sure had a lot of those on game day.

I will say that. I did. Absolutely. People are saying that these are the two game day beers out there i don't you know i can't confirm or deny that's just what the people are saying oh dude since we're doing the margaritaville theme should we do like a blue by 90 game day ale margarita yes i don't know how it works i don't know are there like margaritas that are ever made with like beer yeah like coronas so you can i mean it's light enough potentially yeah i mean honestly when i was drinking it i thought hey if this was in a can crazy i might throw a lime in this bitch you know that's where i was at that's true what about uh blue by nita

whoa brother does that work i got the words today i like it blue by nita blue by nita um blue by rita blue by 90 to blue by 90 to it's going in a weird direction this is already we're literally 30 seconds in and this is all trails. Yeah, but I will say I also drank quite a few of them. Hail is surprisingly like not as heavy as I thought it was going to be for a game day. Like, Jack, you were crushing them. It's kind of light. I love the hails, dude.

I want to be sipping a hell out of of those with my yeah it's really good readers you know what i love about it too it's the three like uh just descriptors of it hoppy victorious crisp i mean that's pretty great yeah i was alternating back and forth with the game day ale and the hail ipa i could you know kind of wanted to pace myself. Didn't want to go six IPAs in a row. So it's kind of like when they say to have one drink of water or a glass of water for every drink you have. I just happen to have a lighter beer instead. Right.

A little something heavy, a little something light. Yeah, you know the vibe. Work smarter, not harder. I'll make a commitment to you guys and to the listeners right now. I commit to drink one hail and one Blue by 90 beer on every podcast throughout the season. That's big of me. We'll have to get some at the fridge over here.

Wow. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, we'll get some to you guys. And obviously everyone out there, come to the tailgate this weekend and grab yours. Maybe we'll even put it in a beer bong for you i don't know yeah i mean i think if you were to do like a rotten tomato style rating of everyone at our tailgate it easily gets 100 from everybody

right like everyone that we gave it to was like this is amazing we actually legitimately had people like because everyone was coming walking by the tailgate to go to the stadium. People were coming in, like, off the streets, essentially. Like, what is that? That was really good. Like, let me – I'm dead serious. Like, it was legit. So, shout out to our fans.

We got to get you doing those man on the street interviews. Yeah, we just – so I sent that in the group chat, but I just bought, like – so, you know, like the lapel clip microphones that people do for interviews when you're on TV or whatever. You know, you see the folks with it on the on the polo, like on Jack's polo. He maybe has it clipped on there. So I bought these wireless ones that have like a little hub that connects to your lightning on your iPhone. And then it has two for the recording. So we're going to be doing some of that style of content

this weekend using probably one of our iPhones. So it'll be fantastic. You are. I'm going to be such a professional. How can I record and ask? And there's a lot going on. I need an intern. I need somebody so drunk to just handle the iPhone part,

which as I say say it really sounds dumb so maybe i'll have my wife i'll have my wife do it yeah we should probably not have like none of us are responsible enough to hold the iphone i don't even like we told you you can do whatever you want but just don't you know ask us to do anything you should be it should be like chest cam interviews yeah Yeah, can I get a body cam from policeequipment.com and just like that's the content we're doing? Just all of us have it on and it just like is a highlight of all of our shenanigans throughout the tailgate and being at the game.

It'd be like when they put like the camera on the dog like going through and sniffing everything. It'd just be like, squirrel, squirrel, beer, beer. I hear Mr. Brightside will just start sprinting to the tailgate closer to the speakers. That's like the Prince Harry meme where he

rips, he's in the interview and he hears the music, he rips everything off and starts sprinting. That's me. We did play Mr. Brightside twice in a row at the tailgate yeah yeah that was that was our bad we got to figure that out i think we also had a j cole song playlist are downloaded they are i think they are downloaded i i know i don't know which one i was on but some of the songs weren't downloaded well we're gonna figure it out okay it was a figure

out first game of the season yeah it was there was yeah you know it's our preseason first four games are preseason exactly three let's say three uh i'm gonna give ourselves one we got to be in tip-top shape by week two i think we have 330 game fair i think we got it dialed in justin we got there what 6 30 and had to figure out the arrangement of the trucks but i think now once we've got that it's going to be a lot easier for us to set everything up and we'll probably get it done twice as fast only only got yelled at by the parking attendants once i believe and then i gave them fireball shooters and we were good yeah that's a w that is dumb um and then uh And then, yeah, Tyler cooked 100 hot dogs in like three minutes flat

on the Blackstone, which had to be a record. So many wieners. So many. So many. I had so many personally. And I came back from the game and I was like, oh, there's still hot dogs here. Let me try one. And it was the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life.

I don't know what went through my head where I was like, yeah, I just was at a football game for three hours. These are probably still good. It was like 95 the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life. I don't know what went through my head where I was like, yeah, I just was at a football game for three hours. These are probably still good. It was like 95 degrees. It was so humid that it dried out the hot dogs. It was just disgusting. They were literally crusty. Yeah, the buns were crunchy.

I don't think they're supposed to be like that. Not because Tyler toasted them, right? No, they were good initially. They were a different type of crunchy after the game. Yeah, yeah. But successful tailgate, I'd say. But room for improvement, which I would say the same for the Michigan football team. You know, get a little – get the dust off.

You know, figure some things out. It was a new spot for us. A lot of people coming by love that um and then jack as you said this week margaritaville r.i.p jimmy buffett yeah i mean we've kaylin give give the people what do we uh what do we buy today what do we got coming for some decorations the decor we got some nice uh palm tree coolers we got a nice little tiki bar come on down get laid got lays for everyone wow oh i mean after after my blue burrito i might have put on my uh my burrito there we go way better why didn't you say that the first time there we go much improved yeah i like that.

All right. Come to the Blue by 90 tailgate and you will get laid. That's a guarantee. That's our promise. That is a guarantee. How many did we order? I think like 60. Oh, so

only 60 people will get laid. Where do 60 people get laid? Well, they're reusable. They're reusable. Turn it inside out. You'll be okay. Is that what they say? What are we talking about now?

We're talking about the Rays, but I think you want to talk about somebody else. Let's talk some football. Let's talk some football. The Michigan Wolverines did win the football game that was exciting I was excited about that they played really well we talked about this a little bit on Sunday

JJ played phenomenal how does the public feel about JJ right now there still seems to be a lot of haters out there. Really? There are many. Who are they? I don't know. They're east of us.

I think other teams still think that JJ is mid. Oh, yeah. There's haters. Yeah, as long as nobody in the Michigan community is hating him. No, no. He's been in the Heisman. I've heard nothing but praise. Yeah, as long as nobody in the Michigan community is hating on him. No, no. I've heard nothing but praise. Yeah.

But, no, I think creating fake news... I'm not creating fake news. It's literally out there. Everyone still thinks that JJ is mid. Like, these are Ohio State fans, Michigan State fans fucking caving back a bunch of burners and creating some drama. I do that.

Yes, I do that. That's who's been DMing me. I DM assault things. Can we talk about those? JJ was the highest graded player from PFF in the Big Ten. He was. That's it. you want a heisman i like i mean i like that three three tds if he does that every game then he's on pace for somebody to do the math for me 36 i said i said did i say 37? You did say 37. I did say 37.

So feeling good about that. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how much you guys talked about it on Sunday's show, but just, you know, watch it with Brandon Justice. Shout out Beach. Just NFL-level pocket awareness. Just subtle movements in the pocket. I mean, manipulating the defense with his eyes, with his arm, I mean, looks like a first-round pick.

He did. And the arm strength specifically, like there were just some lasers that he had rolling on Saturday. How far can you throw the ball in the air? 65? Probably. 70? Probably not as far as Joe Milton, which Joe Milton,

that makes him probably the Heisman front runner, according to Twitter. People are talking about it. Yeah. He does throw a nice deep ball. To who? To his receiver that he catches the ball on Saturday. Yeah. To Wisconsin linebackers.

No, he actually did look pretty good. He looked pretty good. But, all right, so we've got UNLV coming up this weekend as well. I've heard they're much worse than East Carolina. I think so. Perfect. They threw for 120 yards against Bryant University on Saturday. Did they win?

Yeah. They won like 44-14. Yeah, but they also gave up 400 total yards to Bryant. Bryant. I'm going to say rush four. Bryant or UNLV? Both. brian i'm gonna say rush for brian or unlv both um so brian actually wow outgames unlv in this game by 15 yards they ran for 179 hold on hold on sorry turnovers how do you how do you hold for 14 points then they held the ball for 40 minutes they only had one interception

i don't know what happened. I didn't watch it, but I'm looking at the box score. This makes zero sense. I'm confused. They held the ball for 40 minutes? That's what ESPN says, yes. I'm just very confused. And scored 14 points.

So I do think that like run triple option or some shit too i'm pretty sure okay so yeah i don't know if it's like the navy offense where you know they went one that you go one for one for like 65 yards and a touchdown on the passing game they were 19 to 31 for 230 yards so they had a much higher yards per attempt than UNLV did. I thought they only had 120 yards. Maybe I was correct. UNLV had 126. Oh, UNLV had 120.

Brian had 230 passing. Sorry, we were talking about Brian's offense and how they could have potentially done it. I don't know. I mean, really interesting box score. That's not a game that I saw, nor do I have any desire to watch it. But, I mean, you've got to think Michigan's rolling even

more. Michigan's always going to roll in these games, but they got outgained by Bryant? The same Bryant that maybe makes the NCAA tournament once every 20 years? I don't know, man. Do we think they hit the over this week? What is it?

I'm trying to find it. What is it? I don't know. I'm trying to find it. Well, yeah. What is the spread? I think it's 35. 35. I do think Michigan will cover this weekend. I do think they'll cover this weekend. Sharon's back.

I think the O-line is going to be able to correct some of their errors. Not going to start, hopefully, inside your own three-yard line on your first drive. So I have a feeling Michigan, I think they're going to put up like 45, maybe 52 if they get a pick six or something on special teams. I don't know. But yeah, I would take that. I mean, with the possessions being down in college football with the new rules we talked about. But yeah, I don't think UNLV is very good. Do they pitch a shutout? Because we didn't talk about this on Sunday, about East Carolina pulling a James Franklin

and kicking a field goal in the fourth quarter down whatever they were down at the time, 30. I've got the betting model fired up. And it's 38-0. 38, that covers the spread yeah it does i like that kind of kind of what last week would have been if they don't fumble it trying to get donovan the ball for a touchdown right i mean that's basically what last week was you know if you don't miss the field you don't miss extra point it's 41 to 3 you know for all intents and purposes

if you get that touchdown in with donovan and stop trying to run into a stacked box on the goal line. But, you know, that's fine. Do we think that we run the ball a lot more with Sharon at the helm now? I think – I mean, I don't know. I hope we see the same thing we saw last week, a little more successful running the ball. Okay, can I say this i had i had people around me in the stadium being like stop running the ball we need to throw the ball i i

don't understand i can't remember if i said this on sunday honestly but i don't understand the people that are like that when we literally won two big champ 10 championships running the ball i just want to see jj throw the ball and break some records i think you do both i think yeah you know i think a lot of the issues with issues with the run game were kind of overblown because you look at what michigan does and they do this all the time they're trying to get practice in in these games and they're running into an eight or nine man box a lot of the time because they want to test themselves and they want to give themselves film on this type of stuff and be able to see how they can overpower teams that still try to stack

the box so the people that freak out about these games I don't know what to tell you like these are glorified scrimmages and look if Michiganigan wanted to put up 84 or whatever oregon did or 73 like oklahoma dude they absolutely could but that doesn't do anything the rest of the year like go in get these wins stay healthy and give yourself good preparation for the upcoming big games in the season like i'm all for being you know somewhat conservative in certain situations and just trying to you know man ball and see what you can do but it's a good perspective though because like like the um like like you said they won two big 10 championships running the ball so everyone's like okay we got to stop the run right so that just frees up jj to

go like all right we got you know an eight man, me and Roman are just going to take it. Well, and I do think that helps for the future that, like, the more that he does that in these first few games, then the middle linebackers have to back up. And then you're, you know, then all of a sudden the run game opens up. I can't remember if this was Ian Bunting saying this the other day, but he was – I think somebody was saying that the way that you really get the run to open up is have the tight ends, have Colston Loveland and A.J. Barner coming across the middle.

The linebacker's got to drop back, and now they're thinking about that. And then all of a sudden the run game is – underneath is open. And J.J.'s legs are opened up too right like the reads are off right what come on his the jj's run game is opened up come on bro you just set me up for failure there um look um i think with these these games the reads are off for JJ is my point, right? And so they're not going to have him run the ball here. But against Penn State, if you're crashing down and JJ's got the ability, he's going to pull that and take it 10 yards. So it's going to keep the defense honest,

and I think that's where you'll probably see the run game really start to shine. But against UNLV, ECU, Bowling Green, Rutgers, and maybe even Nebraska, like JJ's not running the ball. I do want to see them pull away, Bowling Green Rutgers and maybe even Nebraska like JJ's not running Rutgers I do want to see them pull away and then get some more reps for like Davis Warren and Jack Tuttle right because that

was one thing I didn't walk away from last game feeling like super comfortable with like hey if something happens with JJ like yeah who's the backup who can win a big 10 championship did Tutty get in the game last week? I don't think so. I don't know.

I was behind. I didn't say for that quarter, but Davis went like, I use like one for one. I think it was all for one or one for two or something. They didn't, they didn't, I was expecting more intermediate routes with,

with Warren in the game. And they didn't really give him much of an opportunity to sling the ball. So I don't know what was going on there. I do agree with you, Kalen. You just never know what's going to happen. And, I mean, you need to have the same way that Donovan had to step in for Blake last year. There's just always that chance out there.

And I'd rather. Neither of those guys have had reps as a Wolverine. Tuttle's gotten reps at Indiana, but you need to have somebody in there that you feel somewhat confident in. Shouts out to the Michigan quarterback room. Look at how many Michigan

QBs are slinging it around the country. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Cade McNamara. Joe Milton. 190 yards. Big game. Big game, Cade.

Big game for Iowa. It was. They scored 24. But now they've got Iowa State, right? POTUS. Former POTUS is going to be there. Really? Yeah, I just saw that.

I don't know. We don't need to touch on that, but he's going to be there. Interesting. That's an interesting tidbit. Yeah, I want to see Orgy, man. Alex Orgy, to clarify for anyone in this room. I've had too many hail IPAs. I can tell you where to find it if you need some help.

Hopefully under center for Michigan at some point because I want to see a Tebow package with Alex Orji. Honestly. Give me some short yardage. My mom listens to this podcast. We know all about short yardage. His last name is Orji and his first name is Alex. He plays quarterback

at the University of Michigan. I was yelling at myself. I was telling it myself. Sorry. That's fine. It's I was telling it myself. Sorry. That's fine. But, you know, I mean, it's the guy's last name. It is. It is. Yeah, you can't.

Yeah, I agree. We need RG3 on the podcast to just be extra. Absolutely. Yeah, just horned up. Remember last year? He was in the end. He was out of pocket. Yeah.

Wasn't it last weekend with RG3 jumping off the boat and ripping his pants? Did he? We got to get some state liberty, dude. Stretch fit four ways. Company man right here. That's right, baby. I love that. I love that.

Okay. I do want to bring up something, though, that we talked about a little bit ago. Somebody said that they're fine with them taking it easy, not running up the score. They could have scored 70. But with the college football playoff rankings, do you feel that you need to show off at some point? Do you need to run it up in the case that you may have one loss at the end and they're looking at like, oh, that 30-3 game wasn't that impressive

or something? Lead it off, Tanner. We already touched on this on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I find that line of thinking like that would just be very short-sighted but i also don't think i don't know i i think it came up last year and then michigan just rolled through every game basically except for illinois so it didn't matter so i don't know how the committee would look at it this year but like i don't know man um i mean i think if you're

looking at like okay michigan has a hypothetical hypothetical three-point loss to an 11-1 team of the big 10 and we're going to look back to ECU. I would hope it wouldn't come to that, but we know how the committee can be sometimes. So, yeah, I guess we're on the table, I guess, if you don't want to have to deal with it. That's fair. That was my favorite part of last year was everyone talking shit

on our strength of schedule all year long and then we went and won every fucking game and you just double mids to every single person out there like what are you gonna say now please tell us tell us what you what you think that was awesome did play a soft you guys remember that that was yeah that last year that was pretty sick that That's pretty cool. You know, I will say though, Justin,

to your point, I think if Michigan, especially in the fashion Ohio State loses, if Michigan loses that game by 22, there's no way in hell they get into the playoff,

which is just a ridiculous double standard. But the thing that frustrates me is you look at a team like Georgia, they play an eight team, or an eight game schedule in the SEC,

and then their one, like, power five opponent is Georgia Tech. So it's like, okay, so if Michigan hypothetically played an eight-game schedule in the SEC, and then their one power five opponent is Georgia Tech. So it's like, okay, so if Michigan hypothetically played an eight-game conference schedule, and then Minnesota was their non-con, we're not even – like, it's just so stupid.

You know, like, it's just – I don't know. It's just very frustrating. I do think – here's my take on that with scheduling in the future. It is key to put a Power 5 non-con in there that is just very average or below average. Like what Penn State does. Yeah, exactly. Go get the – I mean, West Virginia – okay, that's perfect.

They're kind of a big name, right? But they stink. They're naturally known, but they stink. But they play in a Power 5. Go get the equivalent of Northwestern, of every other conference, and then you get to say you had a Power 5 non-con,

but you're never going to lose that game unless you're Clemson and Duke. Yeah, they should just play Boston College, who's probably worse than ECU. Let's just go play Clemson these days. Shout out to Jacqueline. Tough.

I wasn't going to say anything. Davo. Is Davo on the hot seat? Yeah. Not yet. He's on my hot seat. He's on Jack's hot seat, which is the most important hot seat out there. Hey, he built that program on NIL.

Remember that. God's name. God's name, Imogen Linus. Listen, I'm not putting anything out there. I saw the stat that they're owed. They're going to be coaching at Concordia University next year. Dude, imagine the powerhouse of Concordia after that. Coach is at a school in Ann Arbor.

He's dropping bags while baptizing people in the river. You're on river. Holy shit. I don't know if I touch that water nowadays, boys. I don't know. That would be incredible. Incredible. Oh, my God.

What other games do we got coming up this weekend? It's a big weekend. Texas-Bama. Yeah. Texas-Bama. At seven, so we'll be able to catch that after Michigan-UNLV, which is great. Perfect.

Tulane-Ole Miss, which is a sneaky top 25 matchup. Battle of the baby blue yeah notre dame plays north carolina state which justin to your point i have no idea how good north carolina state is they beat yukon like 24 to 14 in the game that i thought yukon looked pretty good in um because i watched it because they're they got a white running back who's a stud uh like just extremely fast yeah it was awesome mean, that's the most UConn thing I think you could probably do. Christian McCaffrey or – He looked like him.

Sam McGuffey. Jordan Shipley. Sam McGuffey. It could have been Sam McGuffey. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Again, NC State's like one of those teams where it's like, I know that name.

I have no idea how good they are. It's the same thing Penn State did with West Virginia and Auburn last year. It's like – Go play them. Yeah. I'm seeing Utah at Baylor as being a potentially weirdly close game. I like that. Also, Colorado.

Colorado, Nebraska. Colorado, Nebraska. Well, hold on. Can we talk about one game before we go to the next one? I'm just yelling things, dude. Well, I know. That's why I had to stop. Don't let me cut you off. Utah Baylor, is Utah the real deal?

That's my question. I think so. I mean, they have Cam Rising back. Is he back? I think so. That was going to be my point is if he's healthy. Yeah, he's back, but I don't know if he's back from the injury. Because I think he tore something in the Rose Bowl,

which was only eight months ago. But I think if they had Cam Rising, yeah, sneaky Pac-10 pick or Pac-12 pick alongside Washington, and obviously USC is there. But Baylor kind of got smoked by Texas State. First win against a P5 for Texas State in program history, I want to say. And they're up like 28-13.5. So, yeah, I think, you know, it's in Waco, right? But you have to think Utah looked pretty damn impressive against Florida.

I know Florida's not very good, but I just feel like the way Whittingham's built that program at Utah, that they're probably going to roll Baylor. Like, Baylor feels like they're falling off the side of a cliff with Dave Aranda. Like he should have left two years ago when, when, when he could have. And now it's like,

he may go down with that ship again. It feels like Baylor comes up and then just down. Like there's no in between like eight and five seasons. Like they're good. And then they just drop off the face of the earth for some reason. Yeah. Yeah. Take the,

take Utah money line. Betting model. That's what the model says that's what i say that's what you say yeah um i okay now going to nebraska colorado are we ready are you ready to move to that we are now I'll allow you to do that. Yeah. So, I've seen that those Colorado tickets are like $500 minimum. Yeah. I get it. The Deion

hype, the Shadur hype, I get it, but that's not the overreaction of the century. I don't know what is. I don't know. Nebraska. I don't know. Nebraska fans travel. I'm excited to watch them play all year. Travis Hunter.

I mean, they're just electric, electric football team. I'm in a, I get it, but like, what are we switching the hat? Nice hat change.

It's the Colorado safe flag. Got this in Boulder. I saw D on there. It was crazy. Go Boulders. Go Boulders. That's what their mascot should be. Should be a Boulder. Colorado Boulders.

They'll slap the rock like Dabo does on the way out. Clemson. Have any of us touched that rock at clemson yeah i have touched oh okay i i wondered yeah i'm making that joke like you talk about it but i just i had known that so i know i know i'm like I've like arrogantly and annoyingly flaunted a lot of things. Not that. Not that. Not that. No.

No. But I just knew that. I deserve it. So Georgia plays a powerhouse from the Midwest, Ball State, chirp chirp. I'm a settler, dude. Partied quite a bit in my time in Muncie, Indiana. Great party school. Wow.

Really? So just murderous a row for Georgia continues. Oh, Texas and Miami. Miami's not ranked, but we'll see how they do without Josh Gattis. Looked okay last week. How did

Maryland do? They won 38-6 over Towson. It was like 180th in college football rankings, I think. Gotcha. Yeah, and then I think the only other matchups, like SMU-Oklahoma. I mean, SMU's in the Big 12 now, so that's interesting, I guess. And then Oregon-Texas Tech, which Texas Tech lost to Wyoming.

App State-North Carolina could be sneaky good. Yeah, there's a decent slate this week compared to last week outside of the Florida State-LSU game. There's actually a couple ranked games this week. I like it. I like it. It should be good. You know why it's good? It's just another week of college football.

The best part about after last weekend is we get to do it all over again this weekend. Better weather. 3.30 game. Oh, the weather. You know. The weather's unbelievable. I mean, last week.

While I'm thinking about it, shots out to Z Biotic. Took a little Z Biotic for the tailgate. I feel like it worked. It was incredible. No free ads. At least give the people an idea

of what we did. What it is. It's kind of like it kind of tasted like kombucha a little bit. Yeah. It was like supposed to offset. Yeah, It was like supposed to offset. Prevents hangovers, right?

Yeah, exactly. But it was solid. So theoretically, like can I drink that? And then like this weekend, if I maybe had like 10 hails, five Blue by 90 beers, and then like six margaritas. Six Blue Burritos. Shot a Buffalo Chase in there too. The Buffalo Chase hit me very hard.

I'll be honest. It's a very good bourbon, but somebody was like, let's break into this. And I was like, sure, let's do it. And I was like, that's much more of a sipper, but my wife needs to get rid of it so we threw it in the shot ski like it was nothing and i was like oh my god i honestly felt like i got shot like i was like oh dude shout out eldon t stuff for the shot ski too shout out shout out eldon t what is this don't know what his real name is. I think he's just a dentist. He's just Batista to me.

Like Batista of dentist. Dentista. But he did make us a really cool shot, Ski. We will be doing more shots this weekend as well. Should I get Claudio to make more jealous shots? Those were a big hit with Caleb.

Caleb was like, dude, those are so good. He just kept coming over. Shout out Caleb. Just give him 12 Jell-O shots. Yeah. Shout out Jordan as well. Shout out Jordan as well. Yes.

Shout out everybody that was helping. Appreciate everybody that was coming by and helping clean up and all that fun stuff because it's a lot of work, but it's just a lot of fun, man. I love it. Tanner, you did get baptized by the tailgate. I did. Yeah, I feel good.

And I'll tell you what. I went home, showered, and I started making dip, and I watched football until – I had Pac-12 on, dog. I'll be honest. That is what the nooner is good for. Oh, it's the best. The nooner is good for getting home and you still have plenty of the day left. Yeah.

That's fair. I'm very excited for that 3.30 this week because we got plenty of time in the morning. You can kind of saunter in. I mean, we'll still be there at 9, getting ready and all that. But I'm just saying, you know, there's not – the noons is – it's just such a rush. It is.

It's a rush. Yeah, yeah. Like I need to be there at 5 a.m. to truly get as much time as I need to tailgate. And, like, you know, we got there at, what, 6.30? And I think people started rolling around 8.30, 9. And it was awesome, but I kept looking at the clock. I was like, I'm very excited to go into the big house.

Do not get me wrong. Like, it's amazing to be back there, but I was like, I want to keep the party going. So the three 30 games, that great mix, the night game sometimes are too much.

Sometimes I go too hard and those are great. But like the three 30 is a happy medium. Yeah, I agree. Um, sometimes, sometimes it's like a 1. PM spring game and you go too hard.

That was after the game, though. That was after the game, and I didn't even go to the game. And, you know, the beer garden got me. Beer garden got you. I'll do it. I might have been able to put that on a shirt. The beer garden got me? And on the back, something white.

I love it. I love that everything just goes back to something light. That was just such an innocuous comment that I made in December at Brothers in Indianapolis. You need that tatted on your body. Yes, preferably on my face. Mike Post Malone,

just something light. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I don't hate that at all. I don't think my job would like it, or my wife, or anyone. Put some foundation on. Yeah, but what's really more important?

Is this podcast and the tailgate, or your wife and the rest of your life? I'm going to be honest, I probably put more effort towards Michigan football over the last week than I have my real job. We won't tell your boss, and the rest of your life. I'm going to be honest. I probably put more effort towards Michigan football over the last week than I have my real job. Yeah. We won't tell your boss. Promise.

No, it's fine. I mean, it's all good. Yeah. We should be good. Last thing here, it sounds like we might have some guys coming back this week, some injured guys. The report was that Will Johnson and Rob Moore might play? I heard they practiced.

Practiced. That's a good start. Yes. What was the Amore on Walker update? I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know if there is one. Is there one?

That was so perfect of just... We are not the podcast to come to if you're looking for true information about anything. No. I don't know if there is one. I think he's still just working through an injury.

I don't know. I'm sure you guys talked about it on Sunday's show, but man, Josh Wallace looked awesome. So I feel good about Corner now. Like, feel pretty good. Jair Hill is going to get up to speed. Yeah, he looks really good as well. Yeah, he looks like – I mean, next year's safeties are going to be him

and Zeke Berry. Like, feel really good about that as well. So in pretty good hands with a lot of the youth on this team. Also, just I have two words, Kenneth Grant. Hands on the youth. What are you talking about here, brother? Hmm? lot of the youth on this team. Also, I have two words. Kenneth Grant. Kenneth on the youth? What are you talking about here, brother? Hands on the youth? I said, Michigan's

in good hands with the youth on this team. Is that what you said? Yeah. You've been on my ass this whole podcast, Jack. Slash Jordan at State and Liberty. But Kenneth Grant. Monster. Monster. Surprisingly Kenneth Graham, monster. Monster.

Like, surprisingly awesome as a sophomore. He's not something light. He's not something light. That's a good call. That's quite heavy. And he's number 78. What do you think about number 78, Miles Hinton's comments about that he like struggled or like felt a you know a little

anxious about things are you feeling that he's going to get that together or what do we think i think it takes time i think you know it's funny it's his brother who played there as well right yep so i'm surprised he didn't even talk to him say, what's it like, bro? Like, maybe he did. But I think he'll get it together. I think self-awareness is a great trait. And so, you know, sometimes you got to be harder on yourself. And these guys, I mean, you know, I think fans of college football think that they take it harder than anyone. But these guys put their just entire soul into their football program and trying to get to the NFL.

And so I think when a guy struggles, I think he openly admits it. I think it shows a lot of maturity on that note. I do think Trent Jones will probably get the starter right tackle this week. I mean, I think they're probably shuffling guys, right? Like, well, no, I don't, I don't think so because I think Jones looked much better in his, in his limited action than, than Hinton did. So I think it feels like they're doing what they did with the quarterbacks.

Like, Hey, you get a game, you get a game. Like, Jim Harbaugh's like Oprah out here. And they're just going to try to shuffle these guys around and see who's going to gel the best, right? Get your best five. Jim Harbaugh's like Oprah. Yeah. You get a game.

You get a game. Yeah. I like that. I like that a lot. What do you think about the Wii Fence? Oh, I fucking love it. Love the Jim Harbaugh thing. Is that the most Jim Harbaugh shit ever?

Yes. I hope there's a Wii Fence chant at the game. Wii Fence. Wii Fence. It's got to be like... You know how the people have the D in the fence? There's got to be some people in the student section. One guy's got weed,

the next guy's got the fence. I mean, just missed opportunity if they don't. We need like a tailgate DJ who can like take those quotes and like drop them into. Yes. Okay, I've thought about that because like, you know, the Big the big booty mixes like they always have

like ad-libs in between songs like we i've talked to dj truth about this of like making a like michigan version and then like some of them would be dim harbaugh quotes some of them are like, the Don, he's gone. You know, like whatever that call is. Like, wham, wham. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's like, I got home. I need one of Jim Harbaugh saying Ryan Day is born on third base. Like, I need that one.

Going into Mo Bamba. That's how you start it. That's how you start it. Yeah. Oh, man. That's how you start it. That's how you start it. Yeah. Oh, man. That would be incredible. Yeah, we need it. All right.

I think that's all we got for today. Anyone else have anything that they want to touch on? Are we good? Kalen, you got any locks this weekend? Oh, locks of the week. I'm still working on the bet picking for this week, but I will publish them tomorrow. Please do.

On Twitter, at MazeCoachK. Yes. Our betting advisor. He's my financial advisor as well. One person did say, no, don't publish it. You're an idiot. Who was it? It was Vegas. It was Vegas. Vegas was like, no, stop taking our money. Vegas doesn't want you to get out there.

Yeah. Also, I think we need to double that 60 lay order. I'm not going to lie. I agree. Let's get laid twice. Let's do it. Nice.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville. I don't know that song, but I was riding with you. I mean, you only... Oh, Wasted away in Margaritaville.

Cheeseburger in Paradise? That was a tough scene, by the way. The only downer at the tailgate was finding out that he had passed away. I think I told one of you guys. I was like, yo, Jimmy Buffett. That was a very sad day. But we still turned up in his honor.

I know, I heard you. It's loud. Yeah. Alright, sounds good. Well, we will see you all there at the tailgate, hopefully. If we don't, we'll see you on Sunday for the postgame pod. We'll have that up right away, hopefully, depending. It just depends on Jack's mood, usually.

Jack, we're just glad you showed up today, really. Dude, I was fucking ready and rolling, baby. Two in a row. I'm proud of you. Making big moves here, guys. Yeah, this is big. This is big. Alright, for us, you can follow us at Blue by 90 on Twitter,
