Episode 113: MICHIGAN WTF? + Other Week 1 reactions. WEEK 2 PREDICTIONS · You Don't Know Ball Podcast

• Isaac Rowe: What's going on, you don't know about podcast station. We are fully staffed again after a electric week one for sure. Alex has definitely got a lot to say, as you can tell. when was the last time we were fully staffed? Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. No, three weeks ago. One second ago, actually, yeah. Quit rubbing it in, man. One second. No, it was three weeks ago and now we're all back. So this will kinda be like our first episode to get together as the the season kicks off. So we have the Miami Ford Agriculture and Maintenance game on. It's mechanical, but they're kind of them. So it's 35-0 this second quarter, so damn. Shout out Gur Gerard Pringle Jr. Shout out Pringle. Just sports. Okay. Leave a comment if you get that reference. So we're gonna r here's kind of what the f the podcast is gonna be like today. If we're gonna start with the results for the pick'ems last week, we're gonna have Caleb kind of break that in, break that down and where we're looking, and we'll pick the games at the end of the episode. But then we're gonna have Alex kind of debrief on what his Wolverines did this weekend, as Alex and I were both w there in the stadium when that when that happened. you guys were there? We were there. my god. I was there but I didn't stay to that point. are you serious? my god. Yeah, yeah, no way. And then and then we'll we'll kinda go from there, kinda w see where that drag is. Obviously Notre Dame played this weekend, UCLA played, Bama played, and everybody ninety plus others played. Ryan Williams can't still can't catch. So there's a lot to break down. Michigan still can't play offense. And there's a lot to look forward to into going into week two. So all right, Caleb, where do we sit with the pickems this week? Wait, are you so you just wanna know standings? Kinda how we did that kinda how we did last week. So I just first wanna s say, I forgot to say this last week. Isaac with the coin flips went six and On week one. On week one flip. He got UNC, Virginia, Stanford, San Jose to cover, Memphis, and EMU. All right. I can't believe it. So you had an electric start at six and Nice. And then you followed it with a great week two performance. You got Georgia Tech wrong, you got EMU wrong, but you proceeded to get the rest right. You went six and two in week two. For a twelve and two for an overall twelve and two record heading into week three. Alex was quite the opposite in week one. Here we go. The only team he managed to get right was a good pick, Virginia. But the rest, some unfortunate close losses there. You know, I see where you were looking with some of Hawaii almost did it. I know. Hawaii did almost do it. but you went one and five in week one. Followed it with a solid week two, though. Five and three, the teams you got wrong were Georgia Tech, which who's surprised? Yeah. EMU, which again, who's surprised? That was a toss-up as well. Yep. Managed to get UCLA, Auburn. The spread for Toledo and MSU was bouncing between ten and a half and nine and a half, so I just gave us all the win. Yes! so you got it there. Ole Miss correct, barely. And then SMU SMU correct as well, but you did pick Wyoming. Anyway, your overall t record is six and eight. So just Hey, we're just like where we started. Just just a hair below fifty percent. You that's that will work. Under five hundred, he's fine. So Jack started week one pretty solid. He picked TCU. the only ones he got wrong were TCU and USC to cover probably the two closest of the picks. Happened to get him wrong. Four and two week one. Fit finished up with the best week two out of all of us. Seven and one. The only thing Let's go, baby. The only pick you got wrong was George Attack. Damn. man. I mean We could go into that game. I looked at the score for that one. I predicted that one after the game happened and got it wrong. The next morning I predicted it and g still got it wrong. but yeah, it's a great week for Jack. so congrats. You know, good job, Jack. Thank you why you're champ. And then last yeah. And then last but not least is me. I went five and three just like Alex did. Picks I got wrong were Georgia Tech. I went against my own team in UCLA and picked California when they ended up having the worst fourth quarter I've ever seen. And then I chose Florida State, who almost did it. They almost did it. That would have been a statement. I was close to it, but I no cigar there for me. Overall record for me is ten and four. Overall record for Jack, because I forgot to say it is eleven and three. So currently Isaac is sitting in first by one game. Jack's right behind him by one. I'm behind Isaac by two. And Alex is I'm right on your guys' ass. I'm on your ass, bro. And we also did have some fans vote. Connor decided to throw his picks in. He went seven and one. Only one he got wrong was EMU. And then Skinner threw his picks in as well. He went five and three. Shit, we gotta get them on the pod one day. Shout out Connor and Skinner, now yeah. but yeah, I I doubt I don't know if they're gonna get this far into the episode, but you know, shout out y'all. So that's where we're sitting right now with the pick'ems. I think now we can sort of get into the games of week one. Parker. Which like sh I want to say shout out Dion for getting the job done. Yeah, shout out Dion I didn't have faith in him. In the Yellow Jacket Dome. I will say they got pretty freaking lucky with some of the plays there at the end. One hundred percent. The blocked kick for the win when I saw that. I couldn't believe that. I know I couldn't believe that either. I mean we saw a lot of like plays like that. I was laying in bed. I was laying in bed and I was like, this kick is probably gonna like it's probably gonna go in, but what if it got blocked? Like I just thought, what if it got blocked right now? Right after Georgia Tech blocked their blocked Georgia's k Colorado's kick, like the drive before or whatever, two drives before. I'm like, what if this one got blocked? And Colorado goes out there and blocked, I'm like, no way. Yeah. I'm like, I don't want to say like I called it, but that was crazy. I mean you c you basically did. I I will say Georgia Tech did look really, really bad. They they didn't look ranked. Like we saw a couple ranked teams that probably shouldn't have been ranked this past week and Georgia Tech was definitely one of them. I thought they would be better and Mendoza Colorado looks better than I thought too. So I mean tail of two tail of two teams there and that's just a good win for Colorado. I can't be mad at him for sure. I like how Dion like, I thought we were too small and then the post game conference and like, you what, you go you go Dion. Talk your shit, Dion. Yeah, you talk your shit. He deserves that shit. I don't know. Without his kid or like Travis Hunter, like he's got all new guys there. It kinda reminds me of like when Macer gone when none of our kids were there. yeah. All of our kids left. Like who the hell we got? When we make it work, we make it work. Dude no, I feel like Colorado Dion really proved something this year. I think Julian Lewis had a really good final two minutes of the game, that's for sure. I mean that last drive that he had, it was pretty pretty electric. Hell of a catch too. Yeah, hell of a catch, hell of a play call. got the job done, obviously. But you know what, even though Georgia Tech I don't I wouldn't say they look bad. I don't think they look awful. They just look not efficient on offense. Like they would look really efficient at at times and then they would look really bad at others. Like they had the kickoff return touchdown, and then they had Fernando three. For almost two hundred and fifty yards, I think. He w he didn't play bad. It was he didn't throw any picks. It was Alberto. Alberto Mendoza, sorry. That's his name. Okay. Alberto Mendoza didn't play bad. And you know what? Justice Haynes looks like shit. The thing that yeah, Justice Ha the thing that would that sticks out to me the most in this game is that Colorado beat Georgia Tech using their own game plan. Like using Georgia Tech's game. Just being more physical, dominating the line of scrimmage, and just pretty much just making plays when they had the chance. I mean that block kick, Julian Lewis, touchdown pass, getting it done on fourth down. They just manhandled them in crucial areas of that game where they needed to do it, get the job done. So Well you see what happens when you don't have Haynes King anymore. Yeah, like Alberto's not the runner Haynes was. Haynes was a real good d dual threat. He really reminds me of Bo Pibula. Yes. Bo Pibula was if we did a w like week one player of the game, I was gonna pick Purilla Bo Pirula. He absolutely destroyed N C State. So CJ Bailey got wrecked too. Dude, he was supposed to be one of the top quarterbacks that he just did not perform well. He played pretty rough. God, we haven't really talked about week zero or week one together, like at all. yeah. Was that a yeah, that was a week zero, wasn't it? We haven't even done an MCM player of the week. We haven't done an MCM player of the I could give you my real one for week zero right now. All right. I'm going Memphis D line versus UNLV played phenomenal. I don't know if y'all watched that game or looked at it, but their D line like I also won game of Jackson Arnold on UNLV. I didn't know all that. Dude, yeah, I know I know. He's got he's got some dog in him. He was playing well, but dude, that Memphis D line really locked in when they needed him to in the second half. And they got me that win in week zero. So I'll take it. Yeah. Though th those are my players for week zero. And then my week one player or players. Honestly, dude, give me Wayne Knight for UCLA. I'll take one of my one of my home. One year owns. Like, dude, he had three touchdowns. Actually no, he might have had two, but y he was just the rock that UCLA needed that game and he's gonna continue to be that throughout the rest of the season. So he he definitely put his name out there on the map. He's a JMU transfer, transferred over with Bob Chesney. So I it was really inspiring to watch. He's only five seven, but he's a f frickin' unit. So he's fun to watch. He's I I'm confident every single time we hand the ball off to him that he's gonna score. And yeah. Got us got us one and Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were not winning at all last year. So Chesniera's on their way. Yeah, that's good. so that's my player of the game. But yeah. Alex, who do you got? I got Trinidad Chambless on this one. I think he got a I mean, he started off really, really cold, but he turned it on in the second half when definitely when they needed it. Nuclear. I mean old Miss's defense kinda scares me, but like if they have Trinidad on their side and he's playing healthy and he's slinging the rock like he did last week, won't That's gonna be a tough team to beat, especially with the how that offense looks. So And against Louisville's defense too. Yeah. And they barely got out of it. Yeah, Louisville's. You know, I need to apologize to you for putting Louisville on the map. Like I what, a month ago you were trying to I need to apologize to everybody for my team. Jesus Christ. We'll we'll we'll get there, we'll get there. We're we'll shout out Luke. What's his name? Line holes or whatever. Keenholes. Keenholes. Luke Kingholtz. Yeah, Lincoln Kingholtz. Yeah, you know, he played he played well. I think he you know, he's gonna be in contention for like quarterback of the ACC. yeah. absolutely. Along with this guy have to go against Darien Mensa, but you know, who had a crazy week last week as well. And he's continuing it this week. Jack, who's your player of the week last week? I was gonna say Trinidad as well, man. He was throwing dots against that blue bill deep. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he I didn't watch the second half. I should've you should have should have it's it's crazy. you know what? You guys had all the good ones. I'm just gonna I'm gonna take one here right now that might piss off Alex. I'm gonna say Western Michigan's defense. Great. they play great. I almost picked them. I think they deserve it. I know they they absolutely deserve it. They played great. Like they actually played great. But I'm gonna say Darien Mensa. Really Mensa. The Notre Dame fans are gonna pick a Miami. I mean, dude, he missed three passes and threw five touchdown passes. Trinidad Chamblers put his team on the back and sling the Rock. Malachi Tony had a school record two hundred forty three. Yeah, they played Davis Warren in Stanford. That's not really that crazy. Whatever. It's still pretty i co pretty electric. Alright, what other dumpster fire games do you wanna pick out? I got one. I won't get there. My bike. Fine, let me You could say Louisiana. No, you could say Louisiana Tech in the second quarter. You know what? Darren Mensa. Give me Sam Levitt. He played it all. Elaine Kiff and shoot three on the sideline. it. The whole LSU team. Did you guys hear his half guy halftime? Yes. That splish got leaked. there's a splish. Splish drop. There we go. We're back. Splish counter started. Right soon. all right. So we got through Colorado and Georgia Tech. Obviously the the main topic point for probably our show will be Alex's Michigan Wolverines. I mean, why don't we just get into it? I don't really care about any other games. Please go ahead, guys. I would love to hear what you guys do. Why don't you start No, you have to start this, Alex. he's pulling up the notes, dude. I got a list. I got three things I want. And they're kinda gonna go off on a tangent. But I'm gonna speak one here's my number one take. I'm speaking to the Alex's takes, everybody. Alex's takes. I'm speaking to all the Michigan fans out there. You guys are the most embarrassing fan base I've ever seen in my entire life. Most of you guys are the 1% that make the University of Michigan and are students there. And you guys thought it was the brightest. And mind you, these are 4.0 students that are going to these and higher. That are going to this godforsaken school. And you guys decided to go on the storm the f the f the field. You guys decided to storm the field after beating s allegedly beating a Mac school aft by one point. You guys are the s smartest pieces of shit I in this Godforsaken college football sport and you guys are just, yeah. Let's just go out there and make a mockery of ourselves. We're supposed to be these mi Michigan men. Michigan men. I hear this all the time. Michigan men, we're perfect. All this. We are worse we are worse than Aaron Hernandez who just loves to beat the out of everybody. I mean, we are the worst fan base. I mean, we're under Michigan State at the moment, and they're god awful. Like they're almost unbearable to be around. They're like they're like almost the same s two sides of the same coin. They are, yeah. They're like mid and mid. And then these retards, I swear, they literally It's a new generation, Alex. I Sorry. Sorry. These pieces of what are those students of course. Most of them were students. And some of them I'll give s there was people I do know that did storm the field and I'd give them credit like yeah. Name drop I'm not name drop Name drop right now. Name drop right now. Put them on notice. No, I'm not putting them on notice. I'm not I'm not noticing it. No, I'm not I'm not Burnham. If I didn't storm the field for Western Michigan, that is bullshit. We used to they used to sta storm the field for Ohio State, dude. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. But it wasn't e it's not a friend. It's not a friend. It's not a friend. Who is it? Then name drop It's it's it's a teacher I had. okay, never mind. Yeah. I'm not name dropping him. No. Illegal. And I I get that they went with they went with a a special person in their lives. They wanted to touch a new turf, whatever. That's fine. But I guarantee that ninety eight point eight percent of that whoever the hell went on the field that night were not there just to be, yeah, we beat w I just wanted to touch a new field. Bullshit. You thought it was a great idea to storm the field against Western Michigan, who is sixty eight miles down the road from you guys, who won't shut the up about this stupid, godforsaken game. All right, next point. I wanna let keep rolling. All right. He's fired up. Let him keep burning. Number two. Keep on rolling. Number two, this goes to my this goes to all my Western fans. And no No offense to you guys at all. I mean not a Western fan. Wait, I do got one thing to say. I think storm they should have stormed the field. That just shows great pride for your school. Mind you, these are four point students that are Yeah, they love their school. They don't love their school, they're in in their opinion, they never seen Michigan win, like legally though. What? Yeah, never seen Michigan win. Legally. Legally, yep. Legally. We didn't win legally. It's facts. It's facts. Shut the hell up. Shut the hell up. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Not bit of storm the field. Number two. This goes to all. I will say, would you two have done it if you were still? No. Hell yeah. Trust me, I th I would have stormed the field. This is what this is what I literally You can vouch for me. This is me the entire game I was there. I was having a good time, you know. I was having a good time pre-game. I was like getting excited, you know, happy that I'm there, drink having a few drinks. saw Jordan. Didn't know Jordan was gonna be there. You didn't know Jordan was there. Jordan was I didn't know Jordan was gonna be there. I didn't know he was there either, and then I just get a picture of him at the stadium. Yeah, like what the f yeah, I'm like, yeah, sweet, Jordan's here. Sweet. No way It's gonna be a great it's gonna be a great game. I can't wait. Yeah. We get the game, we get there first drive. I'm like damn Bryce looks like he you know a few plays you know he looked pretty good and then the other plays he got lucky on that one Buchanan dog and then the rest of the game happened and I sat there And I literally complicated, like, why do I come to these? Like, why do I waste my Saturdays? Like, why do I do this? Like, I couldn't tell you how pissed I was. I left with ten minutes left in the fourth and Western just took the lead. Yeah. Like, I was over it. I mean, I haven't done that since Michigan almost lost the army in twenty nineteen or whatever it was. my God. So it's been it's been a minute, but Well what's your second take, Alex? My second take goes to all my Western fans. And I need everybody the all my Western fans to hear this. Y'all won the game. I don't give a flying that you guys lost the game. You guys won. You guys had the chance to beat us with a first down. Mind you, let's go back to their last field goal. They fumbled it on third and one. Third and one. And they could have they've been killing us on third and one all game. Then their center just has a stroke, throws it back to the running back, and they fumbled it. So they had to settle for a field goal. So that means Michigan gets a chance, right? So what else I had? First mistake there. First mistake. and also, calls right. There was one second. And I don't really give a what everybody says. So if we're being fair. It they have how what is the percentages of like all Hail Marys getting completed? yeah. Had the s QB sneak it. They still had to complete a sixty five yard bullshit Hail Mary for the win. Plus why are you guys pressuring on pressuring in that situation? Yeah, literally what are we doing with five down? Five guys down the literally line All of your secondary on the goal line. That's literally all you need to do. Shit. No shit. Literally have them stand up in a line and tell Michigan, try it. Try it. I f I dare you. I and they figured it out. They around and found out. And yeah, sorry. They have just one second left. I don't care what NBC says or they're crying and bitching about. I don't care what Waldo's bar down the street is rhyme and bitching about. I don't care what the Western Michigan Broncos or whatever the hell they're called. yeah, you got it right. Yeah. Jack's all d only Jack's almost. Yeah. Sorry, Jack. Not really. Not really, yeah. You see, he doesn't even c he doesn't even claim. He doesn't even claim. Well you you like Michigan more anyway. Yeah. I don't even give what you guys think. there was one second. Caleb was in the heart of it. We should ask him. Yeah, Caleb, I do want to hear what you thought. I mean, listen, I I was hammered. I I called you and you didn't even answer. Well d I was hammered. I wasn't on my phone. I he's getting ready to set fire to a couch and then they lost. They went, wait, they got one second left? no, dude, because I I have a video of the first Hail Mary attempt and I I start running around the bar be I'm I listen, I went to Grand Valley, okay? I have no dog in this fight, but I I listen, I I to be honest, Alex, when I talk bad about Michigan, just know I'm not talking about you. No, I don't care. So I I really this game Like pissed me off so much. I bet it did. The result made me so mad that I just think I don't like Michigan. Yeah. Anymore. I wouldn't. It's not even that I liked them before. I just wanted Western to win so bad. Because I they deserved it. It they did. I mean, I really did deserve it. I wanted them to win. Yes, the second thing pisses me off and it's so goddamn close that it's like it could have went either way. Do I think the rest would have even reviewed it if the roles were reversed? No. Yes. They would've. I doubt they would've. I doubt they would have. No, they would've. They would've No, they wouldn't have. They got integrity. It's called it's called the It's called the Big Ten Conference at the SE. They But that's never gonna happen until hockey season. Yeah, I guess I guess we've coming to I know Western. It's gonna be lit. The outside game. We should all get tickets together. I'll wear my Michigan shit. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give a One second. I'm not wearing one on my jersey. What I have to say about this is that it takes sixty minutes and one second to win a game. I mean it's you guys are no listen, listen. That's a great take. Here's my thing. Here's my thing. I to be honest, I really wasn't that worried about the one second thing. I I had no idea what was going on at the bar at that moment. We were all going, What the They reveal, yo, what's going on? my god, we're all Sitting at the pool tables taking our turns. Finally, after like ten minutes of looking at the play, they line up again. Okay, one second. Whatever. Like just stop it, Western. You can do it. You can stop Hail Mary. They it again. And then they they didn't stop it. And that's when I was like Like that's that's just when I would got I just got sad. Yeah. I went to the bar, I got a rumplement shot right away. I would too. And I I was just I just could not believe that not only did like that review like seem fishy, but at the time before the Hail Mary was completed, I was like, Okay, I I maybe there was one second left, whatever. And then it was just the cherry on top of Michigan completing that and then seeing Bryce Underwood, you know, run around. Don't even Dude, he played so bad. Bryce Underwood is garbage. He's ass. He's nothing special. Look at my jersey. He's heating up. Look at my look at my jersey. I bought this on Saturday. It's a Tommy Carr. It's the backup quarterback. Tommy Carr. That's so bad. Just knocking the rust off, guys. You're such a of corrosion? Like he's he ain't throwing footballs. You know how like we know how like those broken, shitty ass cars that like start in the cold ass months. It's like That's him. That was my lawnmower. Constantly stalling. Constantly stalling. Ass, ass, ass. No. But I think and then seeing like the field storm too, like all of it just kept stacking on top of each other. yeah. It pissed me off. Being in the heart of Western, like being in Waldos, like it just makes you like a Western student for the night. Yeah. And even though I'm not a student anymore, I'm not in school, it just it put me in the heart of like, yo, I'm rooting for the Broncos today. We were at University Roadhouse before that. We watched the whole first half. And I'm thinking like after Michigan scored on their first drive, I'm like, dude, it's over. And then a couple of drives go by. Western gets a field goal. They end three they end the half six to seven. Yeah seven. And dude, I was like, that TikTok did piss me off though, by the way. But like it I was I was at the stadium and I saw it, I'm like, you What did you think of the the nose filter on it? I thought it was funny. It's like we were so we were sitting in university. I'm like, man, they might they might just do it. And then they were doing it, and then they they didn't. So I mean I I was just so like disappointed. Like I'm over it now, and I'm just happy that both teams sort of got affected in different ways from it. You know, Western got the recognition they deserve still, despite the loss. Yeah. Sure, it's still up for review. It's not gonna change. They really screwed themselves by coming out. They really screwed themselves by coming out and saying, yeah, it's correct and then they And then they come back you can't leave They did it for a polis publicity stunt. If it doesn't get appealed, it's like the only game where a team's lost after leading after regulation ends. Yeah. They came out and said, don't the big Ted provided sufficient evidence, it was correct call, it was all this stuff. And then like two days later, like, yeah, all that shit. We actually it was there was this, this and this that that wasn't followed. Like you can't do that. I think they they might have okay, I think they probably believe what they did f the first time. I think they only did the second thing Because they found out the truth. For Western faithful, probably. yeah. Just just to just just stir the pot. Just to stick up. Stir the pot. I don't think they did it to stir stir the pot. I'm just saying they did it for all of like Western. Like, Facebook was blowing up about this whole clock. There's people from that I never even knew that watch football talk about how now they're official referees. Like, how did one second show up the clock if they're out of bounds? Like, I've never even thought about you as a football fan. Why are you watching this game? It's and it's the people's K zoo. But it's the people that like have the close ass Facebook icon pictures like yeah their book pictures are that the four I think WMU sixty seven or whatever the bullshit is. True. Yeah, if anybody's pissed off, pissed off at Jack. Because he's gonna he helped me that day. I'm gonna I sent the Mac an email. I don't know. No. I only have one more. I scheduled an appointment at the NCAA. I scheduled a consultant appointment. Me and Urbane Meyer. Urbane Meyer. We brought our heads together. Urban Meyer is pissed at Michigan Yeah, I listened to him on the Joel Clabb podcast saying like Westerners deserved to win the game for sure. Yeah, they definitely did. But they just didn't. And dude Western had every chance to win that game. It was one second. Name all the times where a team's won from that distance, Hail Mary. Central Michigan. It's Green Bay. Okay. It's probably okay. It doesn't happen often. Well, even Central Michigan ten percent play. wait, no. is for Oklahoma State and Central, it was Oklahoma State threw it like out of bounds. Out of bounds of like five seconds left or whatever and it went out of bounds and it w went back to one. Yeah. So it turned over and down. Central got the ball. Yeah, they did a whole ass field storm before like the Oklahoma State game did. Yeah. And then they ended up losing that one. That one must have been crazy. That's kind of the same thing. Yeah, that's the same thing. And we're that that brings me to my last point after I go on a rant on Bryce Underwood. Thank you for reminding me. that if this happened to any other team, like any other team This would be d old news by Sunday night. Probably. Like, I'm pretty sure if bat this happened to Bama, Nick Saban has them in his diaper, so they're not gonna really on them. No. If it happened in it could have happened to Notre Dame. If it happened to Notre Dame, then everybody would say something. Nobody really cares about what UCLA does. Sorry, Caleb. That's fair. And then Michigan. Of all the shit they had in the hist in the past, which allegedly I d I honestly I don't know what to believe or not believe anymore because Connor Stallions is a prick and we're in this we're in the spot we are w because of him. So And Sharon Moore. And Sharone, thank you. Also never mind, thank you. Another thing. Isaac brought this point up at the game, like we killed the man. Like Sharon Moore's out of this the The facility, but we did not kill his idea. Holy god. The offense looked worse. We went from shit to like shittier. Shittier. And I couldn't believe how bad Bryce Underwood looked, how bad Andrew Marsh looked. Jordan Marshall looked soft. who's your running back? Jordan Marshall. Savion Heider. He's only a freshman, but still we were talking we're hyping him up for so long and whatever. Offensive line looked like ass. I guess they didn't really look that bad, but I'm gonna say they looked like shit because I was there. Special teams looked like dog shit. Western handled the run game pretty well. Yeah. Yep. They lost to a pass. So I mean Michigan's defense, I won't give them bad credit because Michigan's defense did hold Western out of the end zone the entire night, which is which honestly, that's the biggest thing. If Western scored one touchdown, that game was over. Yeah. Like that pick six though. The pick six he stepped out of bounds. Pick six, but he te stepped out of bounds. Seeing that at university was like literally they would have won. They would have won if they had that pick six. If you didn't s yeah, if he didn't step out of bounds. But Yeah, but that was in like the second quarter. Who knows how the game plays out after that? St well not much different. Not much different than what we saw. Honestly, you know what? The put the bow on this whole I wanna do a recap real quick. Yeah, we'll we're gonna give you one more thing about Bryce Underwood and then we'll be done with Michigan, but One thing we learned is that no matter w if the ref got the call right, it was still gonna be a shit show. Yeah. And they got it right eventually and everybody and not everybody believes in that's fine. Yeah, but they got the call right. They got the call right. The call was right. It's just not the most like not the most just thing ever. If they're pissed p piss the NBC. I mean they got it wrong. NBC got it wrong, the stadium even the stadium had it right. It I don't know. It's just a weird situation. They gotta they can't they can't wait two hours after the game to send out why they made that call. They gotta make that they gotta send that out immediately after they gotta explain it in some faster way. And now I think the Big Ten made a change where you can hear what the rest are saying during the replay. Which they should have been doing that anyway for any s any every football most conferences do that now. So now they're doing it. And then two, Western had every chance to win that game. It's one second. It Literally why are you blitzing seven seven people on the last play of the game? You're giving more opportunities for Michigan to complete the pass and they took advantage of that and they got the job done. There's another thing. Three It's a new week. Move on. You can't change you can't change results in a courtroom like you can change eligibility in a courtroom. It's just not the same thing. So just move on. And honestly I think Lance Taylor, Western's coach, did a great job and sent a great message about that earlier this week and the president of Western did the same thing. It's just trying to move on at this point. They're gonna be they're gonna be better because of it. So props to them actually, that Lance Taylor outcoached Kyle Winningham, which I thought was It's not even possible. And then the president, yeah. I mean, they Western handed a Supreme class, so I had to give it to them. But their fans can shut the hell up. It is crazy how they became America's team overnight, though. Like everyone loves Western now. Yeah. It's it's insane. Half of the people don't even know where that's from. Yeah. I mean, it's it's good for them. It's remarkable, but course out of all the teams it happens to the team that I cheer for, but whatever. Anyways, recap on my Alex's shit on you section. Michigan fans, you're the most embarrassing fan base in the entire country. Half of you are four point students, half of you are Walmart State Michigan fans. Western Michigan fans and students I don't give a that you lost cry Especially what what's that bar? Waldos? Waldos. Yeah, take that shit banner down, pieces of shit. burn it down. Burn it down. Burn it down. Burn the whole thing down. No, no, no. Don't burn waldos. Wait, wait, wait. Kim's don't wait. Don't burn waldos, man. Burn Kelmazoo down. It's already happening. Look at look at everyone that's around us. Cam's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. and then three. You hate us because you ain't us. So boom. Boom. Bars. Bars. all right, Alex, that was a good little good little segment on this shit. I don't think we need to spend any more time on it. Good luck editing that, Isaac. Yeah, thanks. I'll appreciate that. All right, let's talk about three other games, maybe four, and w and we'll get out of here. This guy wants to talk about Notre Dame so bad. I'm fiending. Caleb, let's talk about UCLA cow. You're probably the only I mean we we we talked about it a little bit. It was a good game. Honestly, it was a lot closer than the score suggests. UCLA scored three or four touchdowns. With they scored three touchdowns in the final eight minutes. And Cal's quarterback, it's Jaron something, Sagapulu-Tele. So it's JKS. And he threw two picks in the fourth that were pretty costly. Mm-hmm which so I feel like UCLA got a little bit lucky. I think, you know, they played pretty well. They both teams were in a st a stalemate for most of the second half. but I did watch the whole game and I just loved what I saw. Like you can tell there's definitely a culture change. U C L A is excited to be there. They're all the players are bought in and the guys on defense, they're wrapping up, they're being Our line did a really good job of run blocking and everything. Nico still needs to improve, but he he's still a tremendous runner. So I would love to see more of that. And I think we can definitely take it more advantage that and practice a little bit against San Diego State. So I'm excited for that game this week. But overall, I just I'm really excited for what's to come. And that's you know, better than being nervous for what's to come, I think, than you know, anything else. So yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I'm I'm looking forward to this next week at the Rose Bowl. Very very huge statement win for us against the ACC opponent in Cal. For sure. Yeah, I mean did Nico get hurt in that game? I can't remember. He's he's chillin' now but yeah he did he like tweaked his ankle at the very end. His brother Madden took over for him. Really? That's cool. That's cool. He didn't throw a single pass. He just handed it off the whole time. I had a boy. JJ McCarthy Good job. God, I would do anything for him right now. I would want him back. No, Yeah, I thought UCLA is doing their their best Signetti impression right I Bob Justin's got that pro where I'm going in the right way. I I'm excited to see what they could do. They're gonna be pretty dangerous. I'm not gonna say they're gonna win the Big Ten or anything, but they're gonna be a dangerous team in the Big Ten. A lot of people are saying in like a lot of people are saying like they could compete with like a Michigan now. We'll see where they could. We'll see where Michigan's at. They play at the end of this. I'll go. So we'll see. We'll go. We'll I mean we could. Maybe that'd actually be good if U C L A's good at that point. I wouldn't want to go if they're bad. But if Michigan if Michigan UCLA's like six and like what six and three or six and three. They might they both might be like fighting for a bowl game at the same time. Dude. Can you imagine that? That'd be sweet. We might have to hold something for you. That'd be sweet. College game day. Coming to Ann Arbor. Okay. anybody else got any thoughts on UCLA? No. Mm mm. Jack, Bama? What the feel like? Keelon Russell's that guy. Dude. He's looking pretty good against ECU. But a game I'd rather talk about is Oregon and frickin' Boise State. my god. How about that game, y'all? Watching that was crazy. Like Boise State's still good. Like or maybe it's just when they play the ducks. And I thought that was gonna be the most embarrassing performance of week one. Boy, was I wrong. Yeah. Boise Boise State's a solid football team. They're gonna be good. They're gonna be a they're gonna be a playoff team. They're playing for a playoff spot this week against Memphis right now. And then they're play against one in Western. Yeah, they come to they come to Kalmazou, bro. That's sweet. Western can be playing for a playoff spot here in the next couple of weeks. Yeah, two weeks. September twenty-sixth, circle the date. Yeah, so honestly I'm just gonna be a madhouse there for that. I'm I was kinda disappointed in seeing what Oregon came out like. Their defensive line that we all thought was gonna be star study, but came out flat. They got kind of got out. physical for the majority of that game. The only reason they won that game is because Dante Moore and the three receivers he was throwing to. I mean, Decorian Moore, Evan Stewart and whoever the the other guy is, but he threw for like damn near three hundred yards and f how many touchdowns passes. I think threw for almost four hundred actually. Yeah, you're right. Like that's the only reason why Oregon won that game. If the Dante Moore and those three guys were were not in or whatever didn't exist, Boise would have won that game. And we we would be talking about Boise State beating Oregon over rather than Michigan Western. No, we'd still be talking about that. And that that's why Oregon dropped like four spots in the AP in the poll. And Michigan fell out. Yeah, that's true too. Michigan fell eight spots. Michigan fell as they should have. They should've fell eight spots for winning a game. That's no crazy. But allegedly. No Notre Dame lost to NIU and they didn't fall out of the top. Yeah, or did they Are you serious? They lost to N.I.U. and they were ranked five. They were ranked five and they dropped to eighteen. What? Yeah. Yep. And we still made the natty though. I that's a thirteen point. But that's the thing, they Western should not Western. But they won. Notre Dame didn't need another against Western. NIU's worse, bro. NIU's way worse. Yeah. They were really bad. They were really bad. That just makes it worse. And I NIU is about to be NIU is about to be like the worst team in the league this year. Yeah. Well n you know who's not gonna be gonna play no name. UMass. UMass goes in the Rutters and beat Ructors bad. Yeah. Bad. I could not believe that. Good props to though. I played as them as my poor poor Rutgers, bro. Poor Rutgers, bro. I played as them in my NCIA thing. I knew they could do it. I knew they could do it. I had faith in them. I had faith in them. Did you bet on I was thinking about going to grad school at Rutgers too. Not anymore. Ooh, don't do that. I need to I would want to go somewhere. I would want to go somewhere where they're good at football, like Oregon. Like going to Eugene and going to their football games would be so cool. So I'm going to Ann Arbor. Boise State's one of my schools too. So that'd be cool. Nah. Let's talk about I couldn't be a Mormon. Let's talk You don't have to be a Mormon. You go to Utah. yeah. Utah obviously. Let's talk about oldness and Louisville real quick and then we'll p talk about Notre Dame and get them out of the way. Else to say about this game. It was just a great game. It was a really fun game. I didn't think it would be that close, too. I didn't think it was either. I I thought it would have been close. I mean Louisville's a solid team. So I was starting to regret like not picking them for a while though. Right. I was like, damn, like I should have known like these neutral sight trap games. It's trap game. Louisville Louisville could have won that. Jeff Brown is a hell of And he's a QB whisperer too. Right. Well that guy's been behind Julian Saiyan and Will Howard. Yeah, so he knows but Yeah he was. He was behind Howard. okay. And he was behind and he was behind McCord. Like he's been h behind three NFL bound guys at some point, of Saiyan being the last one, but Key Holz is a dog. He's a dude. He he he showed it on Monday night against Ole Miss and but obviously Ole Miss has got their own dude. It's named Trinidad Chambers. Trinidad Chambless, the seventh year senior. Seventh year senior and he played he played insane in that second half too, so I don't know. That little that Louisville that Louisville Ole Miss game is the best game of the week. That kind of makes me nervous about Old Miss LSU is seeing how bad bad LSU beat Clemson bad. LSU. I think that's gonna be a good game, dude. I hope it's a good no, I'm saying I don't I don't think it won't be a good game, but it's just like defense. Could you imagine LSU rolling up to that stadium winning by three scores? Holy shit. That shit ain't gonna happen. You know what that happened. You know how Golding Golding would just be ran out of town. yeah, for sure. But you know, you never know. We'll see what happens. I've got a gripe. Did you guys watch the Baylor Auburn game? DJ yeah. DJ Lagway needs to quit playing football. Did you watch that last play? Why would you throw back shoulder on the tight end right into the linebacker? You're throwing it If you led him, you win that game. You win that game. He's throwing it into the defense. He can't he dude, lagway being lagway, bro. Dude, I watched I only watched the last play. Dude. And seeing that, I was like, dude, if I get if we get if Baylor scores here, we all get this prediction wrong. Yeah. And luckily they got stopped. Which I don't really I trust me, I I I like Auburn 'cause of Iron Brown, but I I'd br much rather get my prediction right than anything. So I'm like, dude, damn it. Baylor got me again. Yeah, Bayern did everything in his power to lose that game for Auburn. He threw three picks. god. I didn't even think that game would be remotely close because DJ Lagway was playing football. But No, five star. No way. No idea. How is Bryce? Shout out QB class sucked. I mean, wait. Well the thing is Bryce is from Michigan. Lagway's from Florida, isn't he? Yeah. That's a lot better high school football than but Dante's from Michigan too. Is he? Yeah. Where'd he play at? He wa he committed to UCLA and then he transited to Oregon. No, where'd he go to high school at? He went to Detroit King. So and then CJ's from C Lane. Right. Yeah, Celine. From Celine. So is Tommy. So I don't know what ha the hell happened with Bryce. He just sucks. Sucks. all right. Last game of the week. Obviously Notre Dame took on Wisconsin, beat the shit out of him. Slow start in the first half, but you know, we got it going in the second and CJ looked efficient. Brent game looks decent, looks solid. But the defense looks good. We got a pick six. Found found the other guy on the other end. on the other side of the field across from Leonard Moore. play corner, so that was good. So Christian Gray is gonna get some help, hopefully. Thank you, DJ McKinney. Isn't that the Colorado transfer. Mm-hmm. He's transferred Colorado. So Christian Gray's still there. Still there? He's gotta be a seventh year senior by now. He's a slot corner, so that's exactly where he belongs. So that's good. Exactly. Wait, did Christian Gray play at all? yeah, he played. He played in the slot. What was his famous clip of getting burned? Was that USC? Yep. And yeah, he actually got cooked in this game too. No, I'm serious. He Wait, was it the fade route? No, it was the slot receiver. He's by the way, it's like he's like six five, so he like did faked like he's doing an out route then he cut back in, going vertical, and he sat Christian Gray's ass down. Like it was b bad. And that's like the second time he did that that game, so that was awesome. But alright. That's pretty much our week one recap. That's kind of what our thoughts are. Not I gotta say, we're all happy campers right now. Yeah, pretty much happy. Alex has got a little couple of gripes. I could be happier. Alex could be I could be happier if my team could Could also be a lot more unhappy, I'm sure. If my team could actually win, that'd be awesome. But Caleb, why don't you get us into our our next Our next week of predictions. So we have ranked number well, actually I don't know if these rankings are true anymore. I did this before the update. But we have Missouri at Kansas. What do we think, fellas? Give me Missouri. I think Austin Simmons is gonna take Missouri to win here, so give me Missouri. Jack's taking Missouri. I love me some Jayhawk and But I just can't do it. You gotta get me the Missouri Tigers to get it. No, you guys left me with a wonderful opportunity. Here we go. Lone Wolf it, dude. You know. I need Caleb to fall a little bit more behind me. You know. I can't I can't do it. I feel like this is such a trap game for Missouri, but I think it's one of those early season games where the better ranked team that's I don't I don't really don't think Kansas has that crazy of like a home environment anyway. I don't think Missouri's gonna really have much trouble here, actually. So I'm pretty confident Missouri. I like Jalen Daniels is here. We got the Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Rock chalk jayhawk Rock chalk jayhawk, baby. So the big noon matchup. Everyone's been waiting for this one. Oklahoma at Michigan. Give me the Sooners by fifty. Most curious what Alex is gonna pick here. I'm gonna silly. All right. So I spent a lot of time on this game kind of this week, just kinda going back and forth in my head. Being the former player that I once was, or yeah, I once was. I I I You going back for a fifth year? No. no, I offered at Oklahoma? I don't know. Still no. But I just I I always our coaches always preached like short term memory and you you're gonna grind hard at practice this week and you're gonna get better from week to week. And you know what I I believe that and by Wednesday you usually start to feel more confident about Saturday's game. game and that's kinda how I feel right now, but But y'all never play John Tears. Yeah, now that you're saying I have a twelve and two record, I don't feel like I'm gonna risk it here and do a dumb pick. So I'm gonna take Oklahoma. But it's gonna be t a lot tighter than you guys think. I think Michigan's gonna play I have a question for you. Yeah. When your coaches said that, what was your guys' record? I don't know. And did you win the next game? Did you win the next game? Doesn't matter. Alex, you were there. You would do you would know. I know. I think you're trying not to expose him. I think this is gonna be a lot closer than w a lot of people think. I think Michigan's got a bunch of pride in their program, so I think it's gonna be a lot closer, but I think Oklahoma wins this by seven. Seven to fourteen. I am just gonna go with what I want to happen. I would love to see Oklahoma humble even more. Let's let's have them win in by like two scores. I think that's I think that's that that'd be fun. Alex? Oklahoma by a hundred. I love my Michigan Wolverines. I hope I pray to God they win. Just to you know piss people off, but Man, I don't see it. I don't see it. So we're really confident in our Oklahoma picks this week, guys. Well, so far we have all picked the same team. Every every every one. I think this one might be another one. Arizona at BYU. Give me the bear. Give me Noah Give me Noah Fafita and the Wildcats get too. Crazy as hell, bro. Actually? Noah Fafita's gonna tear them up. They're gonna tear BYU up. I got hope. I got hope. Are they at Arizona? Yes. this says they're at BYU. Don't even matter. Don't matter. No Fafita's gonna No Fafita by hundred. I'ma take BYU, yo. I gotta start I gotta start picking different teams than Jack though. I kinda wish I picked Kansas. I really hope. What do you got, Alex? BYU didn't treat me bad last season, so I'm gonna rock with them again. Valid, I mean Jack, you going BYU? Yeah, I was the first one to say it, bro. sorry. I said, give me the bear, Ron. Sorry, sorry about it, Playa. Okay. Here's a really good game. One that's flying under the radar for sure, but I think it's it's Is it a trap game? Yeah, it's not a trap game. It's just a good good old fashioned game. Mississippi State at Minnesota. It's a good game. That's a good pick. That's good game. That's a tough game, dude. Yeah, this is gonna be tough to predict. I man. Fudge. You know what? I'm gonna rock with the Golden Gophers here. I'm gonna join ya. I like what they're building and I think I think they can beat an SEC team. One of the worst ones. I think they can do it. Conference pride. This would be good statement win for Minnesota to give them some lift. Conference pride. Conference Big Ten Pride. Disgusting, huh? Disgusting. Conference pride is so embarrassing. So embarrassing. I won't say that for Ohio State or Michigan. You're only saying that because your team ain't got no conference. Yeah, right. And all right. That being said, I think Camaro Camario Taylor, Mississippi State's quarterback, is one of the best players in the country. I think he's pretty electric. If you guys have seen him play, I think he might end up being a day one pick one day. Yeah, it looks legit. So I think I'm gonna I'm gonna take Mississippi State here to win. To walk into the Gopher Dome, I think they're gonna the farm or whatever it is. They're gonna walk into the Gopher Dome Minnesota's copying ass Netherlands rowboat celebration. Escape with a win. So I think Camario Taylor and the Boys are gonna get done. Shout out Brandon Walker. That one's for you. What you got, Jack? I also got the Bulldogs in this. Okay, we got some differentiality here. Speaking of much, n the Niners are winning. Ten to seven. I love the Niners. Let's go. Go cut that out. next game here. This one's this one's this one's another good toss up. UTSA at Texas State. Damn. Two teams that got their asses ran out this well two teams that got ran out the stadium last week by I have I have this count I have this counter in here. Making sure I get every single FBS team in here at least once. Nice. So we're get we've got like 30% of the league. So that's why UTSA and Texas State are in this, because we're not gonna see them later in the year. So I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Texas State. UTSA. You know, okay, I picked the home team twice. You guys have both said Texas State. wait, no, you said UTSA. Yeah, UTSA. you know, Texas State put up a really good f I Texas State's got a good team. They're in the Pac twelve now. You know, l let's get some Pac twelve pride in here. I'm gonna go Texas State as well. Let's do it. I think I'm also going Texas State. If you can put if you can put a touchdown on the Longhorns. That's good enough. I think you're all right. Get that boy off the Rutters team. He is so good. He should not be on that. Ooh, Christian McCaffrey, man. No, it's it's the receiver for Ructors. I forgot his name. Dude Ruck or They literally threw it up to the white boy and he got it. Are you kidding me? The Harvard man. The Harvard boy. Cal has a transfer from Rutgers. He's a six five wide receiver. Is he good? Forgot his name. I think it's something brown. But yeah, no, he was he was dicing us up. Wake Forest at Purdue. Ooh. Another good game. I think I think this one will be another good one. I I'm gonna go ahead and and I think I'm gonna take I'm taking this as like my fail safe. I think if Minnesota loses, Purdue's gonna win. If Purdue loses, Minnesota's gonna win. I'm taking Purdue, one of them's gonna win. Not both of them are losing. So I'm taking Purdue. I think they get their second and probably only second win of the season. and it it's gonna have to come here. They gotta be feeling motivated coming in one and Wake Forest obviously doing the same thing, but they got him at home. Give me the boilermakers to pull off an upset. Give me give me the boiler makers here, too. I think Barry Odam's gonna. I agree. Conference pride. my god, this gonna start. Give me Wake Forest. Sam Harvin's boys. Jack, that's a good that's a good that's a good lone wolf pick. Sam Hartman, baby. I don't know. Good lone good lone wolf. Who wants to start this one? Ohio State at Texas. I'll start. Give me Ohio State. Jack will start. Alex is taking Texas. No conference pride here. up. I'm gonna say Texas Tech gets Texas gets it done. I think they beat Ohio State and it's gonna be it's gonna be it's gonna be a great game. But I think t I think Arch and the boys get it done. So I'm also taking Ohio State. Couldn't get it done last year and gonna get it done this year, man. Hook It's a night game. It's gonna be a good atmosphere. I think this is one where either team can win, and I'm gonna take the number one team in the nation. Jeremiah Smith looks unstoppable. I don't know who's gonna stop him. Yeah, dude, Jeremiah Smith's unstoppable. Saiyan's got more experience this year. He did have 156 yards receiver. You could say the same thing about Arch. Yeah, but Saiyan's never been in question. We question if Arch can throw a spiral about every week. So we still do. I I know. We'll see. All right. And the final game to predict this week. Iowa State at Iowa and we're doing the spread. So right now, Iowa's favored by fourteen and a half. Isn't this the the cornbowl or something like that? Something like that. So do we think do we think Iowa State is gonna only lose by fourteen or less? No. Or do we think Iowa's gonna blow out by more than that? I think I think they lose by less than fourteen. Me too. Less than fourteen. Rivalry game. I'm gonna take the lone wolf pick here. Y'all set me up perfectly for it. I'm gonna take it stupid ass. I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna make Caleb pick second every time. We gotta make a pick first. I'm going Iowa to cover and the rest of the boys are going Iowa State to cover. We'll see what happens. We got a pretty good spread here. besides the first two games, all of us have the same teams winning, but other than that The standings might shake up a little bit, fellas. So we'll see what happens. This will be updated by Sunday. So I'm looking forward to that. And yeah, we'll we'll see what happens. So it's gonna be a good day on Sunday. NFL's back. Well yeah. NFL has been back, but NFL Sundays are back. Let's go, dude. Isn't it like we're to the point now where every day of the week but Tuesdays for a little bit? Yeah. Un until Maxon. But isn't it like Wednesdays there's no games or something? But unless it was last night. Got football last night. Why'd they start Wednesday? Why'd they put opening game on the floor? Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Redid the Super Bowl, man. Redid the Super Bowl. I'm dead. I understand why they would want to do it on Wednesday. It's probably maybe because Miami's playing. Probably. They knew that they were playing the frack farmers and the avatars go in there to play. Okay. They got they're playing Florida agriculture and maintenance right now, so I have a feeling that Isaac's gonna cut a lot of this out. Like what? Nothing. I don't know. I don't know. It's just sports, guys. Jeez. All right, on that note we're gonna end the episode. Make sure to put your picks in the comments comments. We would all love to see that. Maybe you can Yeah, I'll add y'all on the spreadsheet, man. I watched the apps. So Caleb watches the episode. Any final thoughts? Nah. No. Jinks. Alex. Thanks for waiting, boys. Michigan better lock in. That's all I gotta say. They better. They better. All right. Go Iris. Remember, we don't know ball, you don't know ball. We all don't know ball. see you the next one. Peace. Go blue. Try harder.
