00:00Doug Karsh, Scott Anderson, 97.1.
00:03Open lines, 248-539-9797.
00:08Okay, look, there's a...
00:11We've got bold-ass predictions rolling in
00:15for Michigan and Michigan State.
00:17Here's some from Twitter,
00:19and also for college football.
00:20Tom writes in,
00:21for Michigan, Aussie punter Cam Brown
00:23will be Doug Karsh's most talked-about special teams player.
00:27There's a chance.
00:28Michigan State, Fred Moore will have...
00:33Fred Moore will have the backdoor quick steps
00:35and skip the Michigan game.
00:38For college football,
00:40Lenora Sellers will get injured
00:41by a Gator-like Chubbs
00:45working his driving internship.
00:48What the hell does that mean?
00:50So, Chubbs, the character from Happy Gilmore,
00:55played by a guy who played Apollo Creed.
00:59Sorry, movie reference.
01:02Hand bitten off by an alligator.
01:04Lenora Sellers will get injured by a Gator
01:05like Chubbs working his driving internship.
01:10Okay, from NR,
01:11Jordan Marshall becomes an All-American running back.
01:15Jordan Marshall's one of my all-time favorite players
01:18for reasons that have nothing to do with football,
01:20although he's a very nice kid.
01:22He's also a hardcore downhill skier
01:25and has had to give it up,
01:26and so we've had some talks.
01:28We've had some talks.
01:30That's why in the touchdown run at Nebraska last year,
01:34I said both skis pointing straight downhill
01:36because he was flying.
01:37248-539-9797.
01:40TJ, you're on 97.1.
01:41Hello, TJ.
01:43Hey, Doug Gator.
01:44How's it going?
01:44What's up?
01:45Well, I got a bold one for you,
01:48just college football in general.
01:49I think Oklahoma State is really overlooked this year
01:53to win the Big 12.
01:55So, they brought the coach
01:57and the quarterback,
01:59there's a mestamaker from North Texas,
02:02and Eric Morris, is he the head coach?
02:05He is the head coach, yes,
02:07and I did watch quite a bit of them last year
02:09at North Texas,
02:10and if they bring anything with that offense philosophy,
02:14if they bring that with them,
02:16I think it's going to create a lot of problems
02:18for defenses in the Big 12,
02:19and I just think they're a team
02:20that's severely overlooked.
02:22Okay, yeah, it's a bold prediction.
02:24I'll give it to you, TJ.
02:25Oklahoma State to win the Big 12.
02:29248-539-9797.
02:31Matt is next.
02:32Hello, Matt.
02:33Yo, what up, man?
02:34I actually have two.
02:36Is that okay?
02:36Yep.
02:37All right, so the first one,
02:39Michigan is going to get curbstomped
02:41by Oklahoma week two.
02:43And then the second one,
02:45SEC is going to get shut out again
02:48from the playoffs this year,
02:50from the national title game this year.
02:52And they should change it to SEC
02:54because they suck.
02:56Why do you think Oklahoma is going to
02:58curb stop Michigan?
03:01Bryce isn't ready for,
03:02I don't think Bryce is ready for the game.
03:04I mean, he's a good quarterback.
03:06He's just not at that level yet.
03:09And I think Oklahoma is just going to run through him.
03:12So last year, he was probably less ready.
03:15The game was at Oklahoma,
03:16and it was close into the fourth quarter.
03:20Okay.
03:21I mean, I would imagine he's more ready.
03:24And I could see Oklahoma winning a game,
03:26don't get me wrong,
03:27but the game's in Ann Arbor this year,
03:29and I would suspect, if you're reasoning,
03:31I would suspect that Bryce is more ready.
03:33Now, you know, Bryce has some growing up to do.
03:36The passing game was lacking a year ago.
03:39I think they're going to be way better
03:40at wide receiver than pass protection,
03:42but he needs to, you know,
03:44he needs to take steps forward.
03:46They really like what they've seen in practice,
03:48but everybody I talked to on that staff says,
03:51it's been awesome to see his mechanics
03:54and the things we've emphasized,
03:56but we won't know until we go live.
03:58They haven't been hitting much.
04:01And until they go live,
04:03and even when they are hitting,
04:04it's quarterback in a red jersey,
04:06everything changes.
04:08And you could, it's like my golf swing, Gator.
04:10If I go get a lesson, my golf swing,
04:12first few holes, it's better.
04:15Yeah.
04:16But as I get tired,
04:17and I work into the back nine,
04:19I feel like all the old habits come back,
04:22and I invariably blow up.
04:24So the question becomes,
04:26do you, you know,
04:28do your old habits come back
04:29when everyone goes live?
04:32Well, and as far as Oklahoma's concerned,
04:34they've added a couple transfer-wide receivers
04:37that had pretty big years last year.
04:39There's over 1,300 yards receiving
04:40between the two guys they brought in.
04:42John Mateer had a down year last year
04:45compared to where he was his sophomore year
04:47where he was so good.
04:48So if he can bounce back as well,
04:50then that gives credence
04:53to where Oklahoma can be at.
04:56So, yeah, Mateer is a talent.
05:00Probably turned it over a little too much,
05:02but they're good.
05:03I mean, it's not,
05:05that's no,
05:06not to imply in any way it's a cakewalk.
05:09I'm certainly, I'm doing that.
05:11They added a massive tight end.
05:13He went bold.
05:14He went bold and said curb stomp.
05:16So,
05:182, 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 97, 97.
05:20They also added Cole Sullivan.
05:22Of all the guys that left,
05:25that transferred out of Ann Arbor,
05:27Cole Sullivan, for me,
05:29is the one that,
05:30I think Loom's largest.
05:33He would be their starting middle linebacker.
05:35He'd be playing next to Staling
05:38or Chase Taylor
05:41or the Bulls kid.
05:43But, you know,
05:44there's high expectations for him
05:46because he's coach's son.
05:48I'm ready.
05:49You're going deep on the touch already.
05:52Well, I mean,
05:53it's who's likely going to be starting
05:55a linebacker for them,
05:56although we won't know
05:56because they don't,
05:57that's the one thing.
05:58I really like Kyle Whittingham
06:00and I think he's perfect
06:00at this time for Michigan.
06:02Given everything that's happened
06:03in the last two regimes,
06:05a nice, sturdy coach
06:07with a rudder
06:08is what they need.
06:09However,
06:11that SOB won't put out a depth chart.
06:13I love depth charts
06:15and he won't do it.
06:16If you had a chance
06:17to talk to him one-on-one yet.
06:18Yes.
06:19Did you bring that up with him?
06:21Not yet.
06:21You're going to.
06:23We'll see.
06:24We'll see.
06:25We'll see.
06:25This is something
06:26you got a bone to pick with.
06:28I love depth charts
06:29and
06:31but it's
06:32it's more often than not
06:33people aren't putting them out anymore.
06:35So
06:36all right,
06:37here we go.
06:38Way,
06:38way,
06:38way,
06:39way too much concern
06:40and talk about a kick returner
06:41on your show
06:42and the morning show.
06:43We all should be much more concerned
06:45about the defensive backfield,
06:47which is a more significant issue.
06:50Well,
06:51it's because of the cuts
06:52like the cuts
06:53in the defensive backfield
06:54weren't curious.
06:55I understand what you're saying.
06:57Yes,
06:57the secondary is a major concern,
06:59more concerning
07:00than some of their special teams issues,
07:02but they didn't go out.
07:04They didn't like cut
07:06somebody that everybody thought
07:07was going to start.
07:09I mean,
07:10maybe if
07:11people really believed
07:12in Nick Whiteside,
07:13but
07:13well,
07:13and he's brought back
07:14on the practice squad,
07:15but
07:17if the Lions
07:18are to make a trade
07:19in the next week,
07:21if they are to do that,
07:23I would imagine
07:24it's to help out
07:24the secondary,
07:26not to
07:28you know,
07:29add a
07:29punt returner
07:30or a kicker
07:32or something.
07:32I think they would have to add
07:33because it's still,
07:34to me,
07:34that is the area
07:35that is
07:37still a little head-scratching
07:38that they didn't address
07:39really in
07:41free agency
07:43and they didn't address
07:45it in the draft
07:46and it's safety specific.
07:48And now here we are,
07:49we're starting the season
07:50with
07:50the two safeties
07:52on the pup list,
07:53which isn't completely
07:54unplanned.
07:56I just
07:57worry that
07:58they,
07:59I don't know,
08:00their plans may have
08:00fizzled out
08:01or whatever happened
08:02to the draft.
08:03They just,
08:03they chose not to
08:04go that route,
08:05which was surprising
08:06because it seemed like
08:07it was a really deep draft
08:08when it came to safety.
08:10248-539-9796.
08:12It's Karshan Anderson
08:13open lines.
08:15Bold ass prediction
08:16from Kai Tech.
08:17Bold ass prediction
08:18Michigan,
08:18Michigan State
08:19will be at 8 p.m.
08:22I don't know how bold
08:22that is.
08:24Oh, you know?
08:25No, this is Kai Tech's
08:26bold ass prediction.
08:28It's Doug saying
08:28he knows what time
08:29the Michigan,
08:29Michigan State game is.
08:30Oh, we know.
08:31He said it's not all that bold.
08:32It's going to be weird.
08:33They're going to play it
08:34on a Monday night this year.
08:36There's an Easter egg hunt here.
08:37He's dropping clues.
08:38Stingray 12-22.
08:40I think Jake Bates'
08:40worries are overblown.
08:41If he struggles
08:42in the first five games,
08:43then I think you look
08:44to bring in competition
08:44around the bye week.
08:47248-539-9797.
08:49Bold ass predictions
08:50for Michigan
08:51and Michigan State
08:52and college football
08:52in general.
08:53Get them in.
08:54Also,
08:55we're talking some Lions.
08:56weird vulnerability
08:58I think created
08:59on special teams
09:00in the return game
09:01and nobody to challenge
09:03our guy,
09:04Jake Bates.
09:05There are some rumblings
09:06about perhaps
09:07those final two practice spots.
09:09Practice squad spots
09:10have been filled.
09:11We'll get to that today
09:12at 10-50.
09:13It's Carson Anderson,
09:1497-1.
09:15We'll get to that.
09:15Let's go.
