00:13well for half of you it does oh my oh my oh dear
00:21rico i said this to you this weekend i i was the i was just the kenny drop
00:26from saturday night at the at the absurdity of what i was huh yeah that was yeah that that's
00:35basically it it was just at random times i found myself laughing um so real cool right or hold on
00:44we have dueling why we got the rico laugh and the kenny laugh uh-oh i hit the wrong button
00:52that was that that's it like before you wonder what we're doing let me just explain this okay
00:58we're gonna get to the lions primarily tomorrow because the rivalry is this weekend and and an
01:03event took place meaning like state one so we're gonna do that today because the trade deadline
01:10being tomorrow and the fact that the lions played a corpse there's not a lot to say so and frankly
01:17look i'm i think i speak for rico in this regard we're bored by like the lions will be there
01:23tomorrow
01:23um let's get into the rivalry i i there's a million directions to go and and i guess my my
01:30opener would
01:31be this because this this man to my left is on fire right now this man is on fire um
01:38i i just would
01:41tell you that that's the first crumb like this is why i'm happy for spartan fans who still deeply care
01:48like like my brother-in-law andrew like we had his birthday saturday he oh he's he's white rico he
01:54is
01:54all in on on on sports but but also like like my niece and nephew like for people who love
02:01it this is
02:02what's the first crumb of joy you've been offered almost five years right yeah then i can tell you
02:11this as much as i enjoy you know a good you know shredding of of the players and fits and
02:17the rest what
02:18have i said to you i don't dislike pat fitzgerald that's never been what this is about i i just
02:22question the hire i'm happy for him i'm happy for the guys in the room nobody wakes up wanting
02:28to be bad at what they do these play these players don't try to be terrible but i i will
02:35give you i am thrilled for them i'm thrilled for spartan fans if you still care and you're one of
02:40the hearty god bless man you deserve every bit of joy from saturday night and i don't mean the kind
02:45of joy i had which was just it was just comedy my big takeaway is this and it's the only
02:53duality i think
02:54rico and i share on this hey i'm not going to make this about them like this whole idea of
03:01well
03:02it's a bad michigan dude msu's down 13 starters we might have had one player who would start for
03:09michigan we went there and went belt to ass with our not even our backups in a lot of places
03:16what are
03:16we down to our fifth or sixth running back brandon tellus was the fifth string running back who
03:21basically doghouse he was in the doghouse and they were looking at him like all right you know what
03:26you always wanted a chance you said you were every down back let's see what you got right thank you
03:31coach but that that's one is no no for a night one coach understood what the rivalry was about
03:38and the other one was the equivalent of the btn ad from 2007 our helmets have wings
03:45kyle whitting i am convinced his headset is not plugged in no i'm i'm serious we're right back to
03:50brady hoek and kids bob his headset's not plugged in he don't talk to nobody there might be some
03:57michael mcdonald playing in the headset that it is such an absurdity what we watch because michigan
04:04state doesn't have the players to do what they did they beat their ass that was unbelievable yeah and
04:11you don't really get to say now well michigan doesn't have the players because we don't have the
04:15players right because 13 starters not playing 18 players not there heck 11 of your players last
04:24year are starting at power four schools this program got stripped down to the studs you didn't
04:30know if your quarterback was playing but i will say this pat fitzgerald knew the assignment and he knew
04:37i don't know how we're going to get this done but we're going to get this done and and you
04:42could tell
04:43mike that we saw the crumbs all week long and we made fun of kyle whittingham throughout the week
04:48like what did he even know you know uh there's a game there was a fight in a tunnel and
04:53there's this
04:54guy named bob i guess he's a spartan i should be watching out for him and like he read off
05:01the cue
05:01card he had no idea what he was about to go into played like it brother and that's just it
05:07they looked
05:09uninspired michigan just looked as if they didn't have an answer and they just thought that well
05:13they're michigan state and they suck so they'll just bow down to us and fitzgerald had his team
05:18out there they were ready yeah aside from all the the the penalties that the refs gave them in the
05:24fourth they played fairly disciplined like guys don't fall for the bait they're gonna try to get
05:29under your skin and they went out there and they did what they had to do and and you know
05:33what they
05:34also did and this is something we did talk about i'll give pat fitzgerald credit he didn't bow down
05:41to the school of analytics and say well you know analytics says i need to go for this no no
05:48no no
05:48no you don't take the point we are barely scoring they can't score let's just stack field goals let's
05:55just keep stacking because you're using fitz used game context that analytics doesn't do that
06:01i was thrilled you can laugh at nine nothing i go i don't think they can beat a ball game
06:08ball game because nine nothing made the game idiot proof and by idiot proof i mean
06:13somebody slips and falls or or cutzel takes it and goes up the middle for 65 yards and you're like
06:19and
06:19now you're gonna lose the game once you got to nine nothing even if that happens you're okay
06:24they can't score twice and they went out there and mike i'm watching the defense that michigan
06:33state and once again i had to keep reminding myself these are the backups to the backups even the guy
06:39who got the interception early he's out the game in street clothes that bought or void whatever his
06:44name is yeah i'm watching it and like wait they got five they had 12 sacks all season they got
06:50five
06:51in that it's an impossibility now look i i think the game the juxtaposition is this that game
06:58represented everything i once loved about college football and at the same time everything i hate
07:04what i mean is fitzgerald for a night convinced the hooker to fall in love he got his guys to
07:12give love
07:13a chance and and and and have a loyalty and a passion and a buy-in right okay and on
07:18the other side
07:19it it almost like i was laughing at it but it's almost like depressing michigan their players
07:28defined transactional they didn't answer they got punched in the face they all looked around and
07:36went i don't know i won't be here next year like it's everything you once loved and everything you
07:42currently hate me in one weird soup but no i look if it works for pat and lord knows they
07:50got to give
07:50him money we talked about this december i'll know if it's got a shot to work but if it ends
07:55up working
07:56you're gonna go back to that night that's the night it started because you need spartans have been adrift
08:03we make jokes about the titanic at least dicaprio had a board to hold on to when he was freezing
08:07to
08:08death buddy the last time state felt good i'm gonna give you the pointer the last time mike
08:14cal halliday scoops the ball up no he gets the pick and takes it all the way for a touchdown
08:20against pitt you know he didn't wear gloves yeah i heard john wick yeah no you're right i it the
08:27the
08:27hope well i i made a comparison earlier i can't make on the air let's just say the hope left
08:33with
08:33something that went on in a hotel room and we'll just keep moving but look you guys we want to
08:38keep
08:38a little open-ended you know for spartan fans i'm thrilled for fitzgerald for the players i mean it's
08:43one thing for jackasses like us to shred the players the bottom line is they don't wake up trying to
08:47be
08:48terrible and they bought in and for that time capsule you go man that's what it was because that's what
08:55the
08:55program was they need you you need to be fueled by something other than money but michigan guys if
09:01you're a wolverine i forget about i don't want there there's no receipts it doesn't matter i'm not
09:07i don't care look at your program look at your team they didn't care msu walked in and took a
09:17doo-doo on your floor and they just went well we'll walk around it i that's that's unthinkable to me
09:24and
09:24i know if you're a former player like john some of the players i know players you know that there's
09:30no
09:31world that abides that's just and look that's crazy and sitting in the press conference like
09:37when when state lost in the double overtime game at that to illinois and they're sitting there and
09:44you see fitzgerald that was the game he flipped off the refs and he's angry i watched kyle whittingham's
09:50post-game press conference he had that same clueless dumb look in the press conference of
09:57um i don't know what happened and this is this is the worst loss i've ever had well first of
10:03all
10:03i hear hot take can we let's do can we do can we say that impromptu oh can we say
10:09right we already
10:10said hey that's the first joy a spartan football fan has felt in almost five years but can we say
10:16that is the singular worst loss in the history of michigan football look app state was app state
10:22was a national championship caliber one double a okay can we say that all right to lead to lito was
10:28like a high-end mac program this is the worst michigan state football team of my adult life
10:36and they went belt to ass that was just a depressing 3.5 yards per carry pie to the face
10:42again and again and again john l smith's teams had talent these guys they do they're just they're
10:50they're injured they're hurt and a lot of them hey look down the line they may be good but right
10:55now they shouldn't have been playing no but they they had to and look i i cosmically i tell you
11:02man
11:03i just you know what i'm going to tell you we're going to end up doing this blame game thing
11:08with
11:08michigan fans and none of them are going to blame the thing that it really is it's karma
