00:17aiden hutchinson will join us today at 12 30 uh coming off the lions 19 to 9 win over miami
00:24mostly michigan michigan state talk to open the show 248-539-9797 champion jump votes get your votes
00:30in let's bang out some phone calls jay is on a cell and next hello jay
00:38jay are you there hello come on jay you talk to me yeah that's you okay yeah i have a
00:45question
00:46concerning uh brian kelly i always wondered did mission ever reach out to him because i always
00:51thought he was a better fit than rich rod he's definitely a better fit than winningham did i
00:57always wanted did michigan ever reach out to him did he turn it down i was i don't remember hearing
01:03any ties uh that there was um that there was any pursuit of brian kelly i'm not sure that he
01:10would
01:10be a great fit but um you know his his personality his personality runs people the wrong way but that
01:18doesn't mean you can't be a great coach yeah because i mean he has midwest roots i mean
01:23you know he coached well you know his history right grand valley central mitch uh notre dame he played
01:30against the big 10 i mean you crewed the same players you have played the same style i mean that
01:37i think he was he'd been a better fit like i said in rich rod in winningham i i don't
01:42yeah i just
01:42wonder why you know well there's always some controversy that surrounds brian kelly and and
01:47coming off sharon more well coming off sharon more i don't think michigan wanted to to look there
01:52no i mean look i i was in favor of the winningham hire and you know so far what i
01:58thought was the
01:59first hurdle to clear was was no more off the field ncaa gray area bs and no more sleeping around
02:09with members of the support staff no more distractions and crap like that and i think
02:15he's put together a staff that has fulfilled that so far and you never know what but and but that's
02:23you know that's the first hurdle that i thought was set up in front of michigan football not by his
02:29doing but i'm i'm i'm hopeful that that stays the case but you know you gotta you gotta instill
02:35some faith that you're going to be able to coach at a high level
02:41well he had a good history of not sleeping with assistants so i think that put him at the near
02:45the top of the list and so they said all right well do you want the job tony and saginaw
02:50you're next
02:51hello tony hi how you doing guys okay look i'm gonna chime in and i'm probably gonna be the most
02:58unpopular comment that um most michigan fans are gonna say i i look at this whole whittingham thing
03:08as you remember a couple of weeks ago he said 60 guys are going to leave this program after the
03:17year
03:17what i'm saying to you guys and my thought is is that he's doing it personally because he's doing
03:26things and you know with nil these players are not living up to the money they are being paid
03:35to do this to play i mean it's not all his fault they got a a leaky line or the
03:43quarterback play or
03:44the plays he's part of it but not all of it okay the players aren't being account aren't being held
03:51accountable as far as i'm concerned but and the other thing is is that he wants he's getting rid
03:59these guys are leaving because he they don't like what he's preaching or what he practices how he
04:06practices so being a coach from years ago you know we you always did something when you saw guys that
04:13were just tagging along you did things to get them to leave he wants a team that fits his personality
04:22that will play for him so my thought is he's doing this purposely and he's and we give him another
04:30year
04:30to bring his people in and see what the results are
04:38well look if he if he is around next year and given the certain circumstances that michigan is
04:45under i think there's a better chance of that than not yes i i hope that it's players that fit
04:52what
04:53they hope to accomplish better but i mean i don't they had a choice to make on you know players
05:01that
05:01they wanted back when they took over the program you know they could have not i i don't know this
05:09to be a fact if there are binding nil contracts are going to be careful here but i would think
05:13that
05:14he could eradicate could have eradicated players they didn't want going into this season yeah i don't
05:20know if he's i mean it's an interesting way of looking at things i don't i don't agree with a
05:26lot of
05:26what the caller had to say uh and there's some that i do i do think he wants to have
05:31a certain
05:31certainly you want to have your own guys and guys you've recruited guys you've talked to in the
05:36in the portal and and guys that play in the way that you'd like them to play that were already
05:41on
05:41the team and you're going to have to sift through a lot of that but i don't think you're sacrificing
05:46this season to do that i don't think that was the intention i think that that might be a way
05:52to spin
05:53it moving forward um but we'll see who decides to stay and who's going to go i mean if i
05:59i guess for
06:00the previous caller if bryce underwood leaves michigan does that prove his point or is that
06:04just simply the the evolution of what happens at universities these days i mean it's it's kind
06:10of weird 2485399797 open lines i mentioned before the break breaking news from college football it is
06:16official the college football playoff has agreed to a five-year
06:21one point seven billion dollar media rights deal to pave the way for a 24 team playoff
06:28next year conference championships are gone the good news is the and this is this is great news
06:37another short-term windfall of cash regardless of long-term ramifications
06:47there's going to be a whole lot of money up front
06:52heavy sarcasm from doug heavy sarcasm and neither one of us likes this you do realize teams i hate
07:00going to 20 here's the thing the way this goes seems like a lot of money of course right up
07:06front
07:06and as inflation and things go up it's only a matter of time before somebody comes along and says
07:11here's five billion for a 64 team playoff and college football goes yep need the money there's no
07:17there's no ever any consideration for hey is this in the in the best interest of
07:24interest in the game student athletes look i have my concerns about college football
07:31but this is a short-term money grab to hell with long-term ramifications and and and you know
07:37at the beginning of this when i was anti-playoff and i was for a long time and i'm like
07:42maybe they
07:42can make it small but keep it small but my fear was of course they'll see the windfall and then
07:48want
07:48to get bigger and bigger and bigger and i was aghast at the idea of 16 teams making it and
07:53now we're
07:54going to 24 and there's no stopping it getting bigger like the 24 teams and eliminating conference
08:01championship games which is another opportunity for those teams the best teams in the conference to
08:05prove themselves it just waters it all down and i i think it it's going to lead to teams when
08:13they
08:13schedule games to try to make it as easy as possible on their schedules because hey we're
08:20going to have to have a gauntlet to win a national championship well that's how it should be and i
08:24mean
08:24but part of that gauntlet is what your season is and and the conclusion of the regular season
08:31having a conference championship game getting rid of that i think getting rid of that sucks
08:35you know but but it's that's the cost you have to to pay if you're going to make it a
08:402014 playoff
08:41which i think is ridiculous 248-539-9797 tom is next hello tom hey guys i'm a huge fan of
08:50the show
08:50thanks for taking my call sure um i'm a resident down here in south florida i've been here for about
08:56seven years huge lions guy and of course yesterday i i went to the game my company has season tickets
09:02and my boss was nice enough to give me four seats i want my wife and my son sat on
09:07the miami side
09:08right because we're down here in south florida anyway but a huge presence of lions fans which i
09:13love to see just to see a blue on the visitor's side um fans are really nice the stadium i
09:19love the
09:20stadium actually i'm you know partial to forward field of course being i spent my entire life in
09:25detroit but um huge fan of hard rock i mean the parking's a little tight you can pull into the
09:31lot you get to party with all the you know the lions fans that were there because like i said
09:35there
09:35were so many of them and it was so cool to see um but i did get a lot of
09:39grief from dolphins people
09:41because they expected the lions to to obliterate miami and it didn't happen that way and of course
09:46some were like you guys suck we contain you okay i get all that it's the nfl right you know
09:53anybody you're lining up against and miami has no quit no they have a ton of fighting now man i
09:58told people that i said miami's a tough out man and they were but anyway i just wanted to tell
10:04you
10:04guys how happy i was to be able to go to the game how many lions fans i'm glad you
10:09had a good
10:09experience and i'm glad that the stadium delivers for you at the bottom line here is um you know
10:18it's funny that they're giving you crap for a game that the lines actually not only won but covered
10:23when it was all said and done exactly and i was kind of taken aback by that i was like
10:27wait a
10:28minute i mean okay you guys did contain us in the first half you didn't sack us at all in
10:33the second
10:33half i don't think but um i mean yeah i yeah it's the nfl man it's anybody can beat anybody
10:39on any
10:39given sunday and these teams have a lot of fighting them and miami's not quitting all right they are a
10:44good football team despite what the record says they are well the record says they're one and seven i
10:50i don't know if they're good football team here here's what i say about miami i think they're a
10:53tough out i just don't think they're talented enough to win games this year but they are a tough
10:57out you have to you have to play through it and dog let's be clear they didn't really cover did
11:04they really cover i mean depends on who you bet with i guess oh you're talking about paul's bet
11:10i mean if you got 16 and a half you took care of business if you're a dolphin better so
11:15paul
11:15you gotta take the patch yeah points yeah they covered the vegas line paul gave kang 16 and a
11:21half points and miami paul oh come on man i didn't expect miami's d-line to be able to do
11:31that
11:31well it's six three and a half time i just started laughing so the problem the problem paul's you know
11:39what you're turning into here a little bit you're turning into rieger oh well here's what i mean hey
11:46rieger bets on himself in golf yeah that's true and i i rieger's like why we play my money doc
11:52and i'm
11:53like because i don't bet on bad golfers and i'm a bad golfer but he continues to does it does
11:59he not
11:59yeah he's still and and you make these bold statements and then unnecessarily bet on them
12:05i'm trying to counsel you intense paul but i'm betting against the bad team doug i'm not betting
12:10on the bad team to win yeah but you're giving nine and a half more points than you needed to
12:16i just didn't expect the dolphins
12:24you you've done two things here this so far this this year you told kang you can pick five games
12:31that
12:31you guarantee the lions a win and that by the second game you lost that bet they're gonna end
12:36up going four and one and it's gonna be annoying yeah well but that's that's four and one is technically
12:40a loss if they lost by 16 yesterday it would have been a loss they only lost by 10 you
12:46didn't need to
12:47give him 16 and a half what made you give him 16 and a half he wouldn't ever took it
12:51if it was just a
12:52regular spread yeah home out of action like he said i would have he didn't expect this you know
12:58who would have taken it a casino would have taken it paul you could have just made a bet
13:06i took advantage of intense paul twice this year i feel like i should not do another one right
13:10i sit back and wait though i mean he said something and they just it's like with rieger you know
13:15same
13:15thing i it's it's two years yeah it's more than two years in a row actually i think we it's
13:21like four
13:21years in a row that he's lost a bet but um with me and golf at some point you just
13:26got to stop the
13:26person from harming themselves and just say we're done yeah kang you could show mercy all right all
13:31right we'll see although actually no hold on stop stop paul don't ever change just keep being you
13:38all right it's been fun to watch and eventually you'll get one right i'm sure
13:46it sounds like we were at some kind of meeting you're giving
13:50it's carson anderson 97.1
