Michigan Shocks Ohio State. Is Ryan Day Done? | Charlie Marlow · Kenny Wallace Media

0:00
I was definitely surprised that Ohio State lost was I was I
0:07
absolutely shocked that I think there was a zero percent chance
0:10
of that happening. Now that I think about it, I, I
0:13
would not have bet at all for Ohio State to lose that game
0:18
money line, however, and I didn't bet on the game.
0:20
So it's easy for me to say now, but I think if you know me, I'm
0:24
a pretty honest person. I absolutely would have taken
0:28
Michigan and the points in that game just because rivalry game.
0:34
What did the spread end up being, by the way?
0:36
Was it 1919, 1/2, whatever it was, and I said this going in,
0:40
you don't have to believe me, but that was way too many points
0:43
for a Michigan team where this was their entire season.
0:48
An Ohio State team that has been really shaky versus Michigan the
0:53
last three years, now four years, but more so a coaching
0:57
staff led by Ryan Day that's very shaky against Michigan.
1:03
And I think that's where we should start.
1:06
Look, whatever Ryan Day's overall record is, I know it's
1:09
something crazy. I'll I'll look it up here.
1:11
And his win percentage is 880. Look, the games that matter,
1:17
most of the games that matter, Ryan Day has lost.
1:22
OK, So what's his record now versus Michigan?
1:24
1:00 and 4:00 and get your comments in.
1:27
By the way, Keith Adams says just can't let it go, huh?
1:31
With a couple of emojis. I just want to break it down.
1:34
I want to break it down. I want to talk about it.
1:35
I tweeted a lot. I did a video on Saturday.
1:38
I did a couple shorts. So get your comments in, get
1:42
your questions in, let me know if you can hear me well as well.
1:45
I know you can see me in my beautiful face.
1:47
And by the way, this live stream brought to you by Triad Bank,
1:50
Saint Louis Lawn Care, Saint Louis Equipment Corner Butcher
1:54
and Chophouse. I'll tell you more about all of
1:56
my fine sponsors at the end of the broadcast here.
1:59
But look, let's be real, couple years ago when Ohio State lost
2:05
to Michigan in a game where I feel like they didn't let it
2:10
hang out. And that's that's what bothers
2:13
me the most about this game as well.
2:14
I remember two years ago saying why, why does Ryan Day, why the
2:18
coaching staff? Why do they coach so scared
2:20
versus Michigan? If you're going to lose and then
2:24
you end up losing anyway, imagine the regrets you have
2:28
when you have to think back and go, you know, we didn't even we
2:32
didn't even give it our best shot.
2:35
We didn't even go down our way right with our guys doing what
2:41
we do best. That's what I felt like a couple
2:44
years ago. There was there was like a
2:45
couple 4th and ones. It was very passive, very
2:49
conservative, nothing like go for your throat.
2:53
Whereas so I'm I'm talking about two years ago, but then just go
2:56
to the game on Saturday. Think about the end of that game
3:00
when Michigan runs that trick play right and they get the
3:03
penalty and you're just like, here's Michigan literally with
3:07
nothing to lose but putting their balls out literally on the
3:12
table. And just they didn't even have
3:15
an offense by the way, they had no passing game.
3:18
They run that trick play at the end, whereas Ryan Day was scared
3:23
to do anything on offense. And and that's what bothers me.
3:28
And I know people will bring up that third base comment from Jim
3:32
Harbaugh, but to me it's the Lou Holtz comment from whenever it
3:35
was a couple years ago saying that Ohio State wasn't a tough
3:38
team. And I know a lot of people have
3:40
have said this on X and what not, but I think there's a lot
3:42
of truth to that. Really affected Ryan Day
3:47
personally. Like he can't just beat
3:50
Michigan. He has to try to beat Michigan
3:52
at their own game, right? Running the ball down their
3:55
throats. And when I'm watching that game,
3:59
I'm just thinking, what are you? What are you doing now on
4:04
defense? The Ohio State defense played
4:06
great. And the Ohio State defense is
4:09
very tough, tough, Smash Mouth football.
4:13
I mean, you hold Michigan to 13 points, you got to think you're
4:18
going to win that game. And look, Ohio State typically
4:21
can run the ball typically. But in this particular game,
4:25
when you look at matchups, Ohio State banged up offensive line,
4:30
the strength of Michigan, their defensive line, right?
4:34
Michigan without their best corner in that game.
4:37
How many NFL wide receivers does Ohio State have?
4:41
Like, you also have to look at the game plan.
4:44
And I've seen so many people on Twitter X, whatever you call it
4:49
after the fact, flabbergasted by the game plan.
4:53
You played right into their hands.
4:55
I saw a tweet. I know it's from Zach Smith, the
4:58
former Ohio State coach, but he was talking to somebody where
5:02
was the Michigan coach was like, I can't believe, I can't believe
5:08
Ohio State's game plan and offense.
5:10
It's like they played right into our hands.
5:14
And the, the example that was made on, on X here and this
5:19
again, this was from Zach Smith, but he said something like,
5:21
imagine if you're in the UFC, imagine if it's an MMA fight and
5:26
you have a a ground and pound guy, a grappler who can't really
5:31
stand up and, and trade versus a boxer.
5:34
And that guy who, who can't trade, who's better on the
5:38
ground, purposefully stays on his feet that whole fight and
5:43
tries to box the guy where that's not this person's
5:46
particular strength and that's the strength of the other guy.
5:49
And I don't even think it's fair to say this is Monday morning
5:53
quarterback. Today it's it's Tuesday, Tuesday
5:55
afternoon quarterback. This is what I'm thinking.
5:59
I think I tweeted 30 times during the game, whatever it is,
6:02
I barely tweet that much all year long.
6:05
And then Ohio State, Michigan game, I'll tweet like 30 times,
6:07
be very annoying and all for the most part kind of take a break
6:11
until the College Football Playoff.
6:13
We'll get to that. But I'm just watching that game
6:15
like where is the offensive creativity?
6:18
You have Ryan Day, you have Chip Kelly, you got all these NFL
6:24
wide receivers. And I, I will say this, Will
6:29
Howard was clearly compromised after that hit.
6:32
Don't you guys agree with me there, Will?
6:35
Will Howard got his bell rung and he goes off the field.
6:39
You're thinking he's concussed or Dang close to it.
6:42
And maybe he was, I don't know. But the majority of passes after
6:47
that, even the ones he completed, you could just tell
6:49
there wasn't a real perfect flow in the passing game, right?
6:53
Like every pass was just a tick off, even if it was caught.
6:57
He wasn't hitting dudes in stride.
7:00
He was overthrowing dudes. I think that hit compromised
7:04
Will Howard. He toughed it out.
7:05
He didn't play well. Obviously couple picks the the
7:08
kicker Fielding didn't play well.
7:12
Obviously he was rattled. To me, that's not just, Oh, my
7:15
technique is messed up. That's you're rattled, right?
7:19
In the same way, Ryan Day, I feel like every time he coaches
7:22
Michigan now, he's rattled. You know what's a good example
7:24
is I was thinking of this. Remember the waterboy, the
7:28
waterboy, Henry Winkler, the coach where whenever he plays
7:31
that one, that one other coach, right, his nemesis, he always
7:35
shrinks. He wants to leave the stadium
7:38
and he just he can't do anything against that guy.
7:41
Like he can't think straight. He's rattled.
7:44
That's how I feel like Ryan Day coaches versus Michigan and he
7:47
and here's why I say that everybody's calling for Ryan Day
7:50
to be fired and all that and I get it.
7:53
I, I think do I think Ryan Day should be fired?
7:57
What do you think is this crazy talk?
7:59
If Ryan Day doesn't win the national championship this year,
8:02
should he be fired? I I think that's a fair
8:04
argument. If they don't fire him, I'm not
8:07
going to say it's the end of the world, but I think you can make
8:09
the argument with the way Ryan Day coaches versus Michigan and
8:13
in big games that he should be fired if they don't win the
8:17
national championship, which they still can, by the way.
8:20
And that's why being fair, I want to mention, look, couple
8:24
years ago was the first time I really said this dude's got to
8:29
go because of the way they were playing versus Michigan.
8:32
Not just losing to Michigan, but the way they were losing.
8:35
Last year's game actually played pretty well if you remember.
8:40
But go back two years. I know I keep doing this, but I
8:43
understand, I'm being fair that in the same season I called for
8:48
Ryan Day to be fired and this is crazy.
8:49
Bring back Urban Meyer and all that and a lot of people were.
8:52
That was the same year that Ohio State went and played a hell of
8:56
a game versus Georgia. Had Georgia beat damn near the
9:00
whole game. If Marvin Harrison Junior isn't
9:04
knocked out of that game at the end, Ohio State beats Georgia in
9:09
the College Football Playoff semi final.
9:11
And that was the year, if you remember, Georgia beat TCU.
9:14
What was it like 65 to 7? So even in that year when folks
9:18
like myself were calling for Ryan Day to be fired, I'm
9:21
acknowledging that. If that kick at the end, what
9:25
was the the kick in that game? 50 yards.
9:27
If that field goes good. Now it wasn't even close.
9:29
But Ohio State beats the freaking juggernaut of Georgia
9:35
and wins the national championship.
9:37
I understand. So it sounds crazy two years
9:40
ago, they're a kick away, their Marvin, Marvin Harrison junior
9:44
getting knocked out at the end of that game away from winning a
9:47
national championship. But that's also, that's the
9:50
margin for error and elite program.
9:53
If if Ryan Day had won that national championship or another
9:57
national championship, right, people would not be calling for
10:01
his job because you would have equity.
10:03
When you win a national championship, you build equity
10:06
with your fan base inside your program.
10:09
And I know it sounds harsh. Whatever Ryan Day's record is,
10:12
I'll look it up. Is it like 66 and 10, something
10:14
like that? But you can't lose to Michigan
10:17
every year. You certainly can't lose to
10:19
Michigan at home when you're almost a three touchdown
10:23
favorite, right? That's why this loss was more
10:25
devastating than the losses the last three years.
10:29
You're at home. Michigan is down, right?
10:32
Michigan has this recruit coming in next year, the number one
10:34
quarterback in the country. This was the year where you
10:37
weren't even supposed to really sweat this game.
10:40
And that's why it, look, I'm 42 years old, going on 43, as my
10:45
daughter would say, I'm 42 1/2. OK?
10:47
So Ryan Day, 66 and 1066 and 10 at Ohio State, makes $9.96
10:54
million per year, according to Wikipedia.
10:57
But look, Ryan Day needs a national championship for the
11:02
heat to come off him. Don't you think that's fair?
11:06
And it's easy to say, oh, look at his record and I don't know
11:09
exactly. Jim Tressel's record overall, it
11:12
was great. Urban Meyer's record overall, it
11:14
was great. I do know this.
11:15
Jim Tressel was nine and one, I believe, versus Michigan.
11:20
Urban Meyer was 7 and O versus Michigan.
11:23
Ryan Day is one and four versus Michigan.
11:27
And it's not just about the games versus Michigan, although
11:30
that's huge, beating Michigan year in, year out and especially
11:35
recently, not as much this year, but in the last three years when
11:39
Harbaugh was there and he really had Michigan rolling.
11:43
There's a standard there that beating Michigan means.
11:47
It usually means you beat Michigan.
11:49
You go to the Big 10 championship game in
11:51
Indianapolis, which they usually did.
11:53
They usually win that, and they're in the College Football
11:56
Playoff. And Ohio State has not met that
11:59
standard versus Michigan the last four years.
12:03
Now. They still look every other
12:05
year. They still usually make it to
12:06
the College Football Playoff. They're still in the College
12:08
Football Playoff this year. Although let's be real, it's
12:11
different with the 12 teams. Ohio State would not be in the
12:14
College Football Playoff if it was last year's format with four
12:17
teams. But you need basically you need
12:21
a national championship. Brian Day does to keep the the
12:25
Heat off his back. And the reason for that is
12:27
because of the amazing rosters that he's had.
12:30
I mean, look, the whole comment from Jim Harbaugh about some
12:33
dudes are on third base, they think they hit a triple.
12:37
So clearly Jim Harbaugh saying that Ryan Day was was born on
12:40
third base and and thinks he had a triple.
12:42
But look, Ryan Day, let's be real, he did inherit a really,
12:48
really good program from Urban Meyer that was clicking on all
12:50
cylinders. So Ryan Day, overall 66 and 10
12:54
in bowls, two and four in College Football Playoff games,
12:57
one and three versus Michigan, 1:00 and 4:00.
13:00
And so you look at his seasons, he had the three games he
13:04
coached in 18 when Urban Meyer was suspended, goes 3 and O that
13:07
next year, 13 and one, seven and one COVID year they get to the
13:11
national championship game. Remember, weird year, you beat
13:14
Clemson, you get blown out by Alabama and they go 11:00 and
13:19
2:11 and 2:11 and 2:10 and 2:00. This year, 66 and 10 overall, 46
13:25
and five in the Big 10. And look at those four losses, 4
13:31
losses in Michigan and then the one this year to Oregon.
13:34
It's still crazy that Oregon is in the Big 10.
13:36
I know to think that Oregon's in the Big 10.
13:39
OK, I'm going to get to your get to your questions and comments
13:43
here. We got Daily Shorts first.
13:47
Daily Shorts says I just can't see firing someone who has
13:51
succeeded at the elite of a level and consistently bringing
13:54
in high quality recruits, but he definitely lacks confidence and
13:57
toughness. Agreed.
13:59
Let's see daily shorts. We need to get back to being
14:03
willing to get nasty and not worry about being cute.
14:06
But this year's team on offense, I don't feel like versus
14:09
Michigan should have got nasty. That's what I said at the
14:12
beginning of the show. Here, look at this daily shorts
14:15
showing love to a fellow Whitmer Panther.
14:17
Nothing but respect brother. Daily shorts, when'd you go to
14:21
Whitmer? I'm class of A 2000 by the way,
14:24
Matt Eberflos, Whitmer High School graduate rough week just
14:28
gets fired by the Chicago Bears. Let's see, Hummus hero.
14:34
I also like hummus. I just bought some.
14:36
I know the game plan was very suspect.
14:38
Do you think coming off the emotional high of beating
14:40
Indiana had an impact? Is that really an emotional high
14:43
though, Beating Indiana? Come on, didn't you know going
14:47
to this gets back to look. It's easy for me to say after
14:50
the fact that all I was going to bet Michigan with the points.
14:54
I don't really bet anymore to be honest with you.
14:55
I used to love betting on sports.
14:56
But that Indiana game, same deal.
14:59
I knew Ohio State was going to win that game relatively easily.
15:02
Whatever the I don't remember what the final score was, but
15:05
I'm like Ohio State to win 1721 points, whatever it was like I
15:09
knew that game wasn't going to be close.
15:10
I would have 100% bet Ohio State in that game.
15:14
In the same way I I said you don't have to believe me, but I
15:16
would have bet Michigan with the points on Saturday.
15:19
I I never thought Michigan was going to win the game.
15:21
Don't get me wrong, but I thought that game was going to
15:23
be closer and, and Ryan Day shows why a lot of people
15:27
thought that because he is freaking shaky versus Michigan.
15:31
So Hummus Hero says there shouldn't be a motivation factor
15:35
in the game, but a let down is still possible.
15:36
I just, I don't, I'm sorry, I don't care.
15:41
I, I don't care what what Indiana's ranking was.
15:45
I know they were top five, whatever.
15:47
The same with Penn State. Look, Penn State is a better
15:49
overall program obviously than Indiana, but Michigan is the
15:53
game. I understand Penn State's better
15:55
this year. I understand Indiana's better
15:57
this year. But Ohio State, Michigan,
16:00
there's just a different level to that game.
16:03
All right, let's see, we got daily shorts coming back.
16:08
Class of 2001, Brian Daley hung out with Kozlowski, Cran Duska.
16:13
All right, buddy. Brian, appreciate that, man.
16:15
We're just having a little Whitmer High School talk here.
16:17
OK, it's all good. Let's see and we'll go back to
16:23
Jason 12345 straight in Ann Arbor with Bryce Underwood.
16:27
Love you guys. We'll see, we'll see.
16:30
This was the year to get them. This was the year to get
16:33
Michigan. Next year they got the number
16:35
one recruit in the country coming in.
16:36
It was a down year for Michigan. Who?
16:39
We'll see. I will say this though, the
16:40
rivalry at least is interesting and fun.
16:44
Again, even though it's not fun for Ohio State fans right now.
16:47
There is a long stretch. Look, you can make the case 1520
16:50
years, almost at least 15 years from Trestle through Urban
16:53
Meyer. This wasn't even a game, folks.
16:56
And remember, I'm 42 years old. Growing up in the John Cooper
17:00
era where Ohio State lost every year, Ohio State was like 10:00
17:05
and 1:11 and 1:00 or 10:00 and 1:11 and O every year.
17:09
They'd always face a Michigan team that was like 8 and three.
17:12
They would always lose to Lloyd Carr.
17:15
Remember Bianca Batuca game? This now feels like the John
17:19
Cooper era. Now Michigan's winning every
17:22
year, 4 straight years. And I should have known because
17:25
Ohio State fans got way too lucky for all those years, 1520
17:31
years where they just slapped around Michigan under the
17:34
trestle and the Urban Meyer years for 15 to 20 years.
17:38
That's not normal, right? It'll probably never happen
17:41
again. Could happen the opposite way,
17:43
though. Like, do you think Michigan is
17:45
now ready to go on a crazy run and win like seven or eight in a
17:49
row versus Ohio State? I don't think they are.
17:51
First of all, if they even win. Look, I'll go on a limb and say
17:57
I don't know if Ryan Day is going to be fired.
17:59
We'll see. We'll see how they do in the
18:00
College Football Playoff. I would think if Ryan Day loses
18:03
to Michigan next year, he's not the coach of your Ohio State
18:06
Buckeyes in 2026. That's what I would guess.
18:11
Let's go down here. Hummus hero.
18:14
This year feels like 1996 was that the Bianca Patuca year
18:18
sought have been like 1314 years old.
18:20
That was the most devastating one to me.
18:22
I don't remember all of them. I mean some of those Michigan
18:25
teams were obviously pretty damn good, like the Charles Woodson
18:28
1917. By the way, Speaking of Toledo,
18:32
Whitmer high School area, Charles Woodson, Fremont Ross
18:35
High School, by far the best, the best high school football
18:39
player I've ever seen. I remember a game I think I was
18:42
in like 7th or 8th grade watching Charles Woodson play
18:44
versus Whitmer my high school and I think he scored like 4
18:48
different ways, like a rushing touchdown, a receiving
18:50
touchdown, a return, a kick return, whatever.
18:53
It was a pick. The most unbelievable high
18:55
school football player I've ever seen in my entire life.
18:58
Easy. Charles Woodson.
19:00
Not even not even close. All right, let's get to OK, 95
19:05
was the Tim Bianca Batuka year. So what was 96?
19:08
Let me know. I forget.
19:10
I I don't have the greatest memory.
19:12
It's all good. OK, let's get to the flag
19:16
planting stuff because that's been obviously the big story of
19:19
college football and specifically with this game.
19:22
And I did a little video on this.
19:23
Got a lot of people watching on the shorts.
19:26
I just thought that was such an overreaction from specifically
19:29
Gus Johnson on the broadcast. Just trying to act like, you
19:33
know, that was the worst thing ever and that was this
19:36
ridiculous embarrassment. I will say this now, I'm
19:39
reacting at the time, live watching, watching what's going
19:43
on. It's flag planting.
19:45
OK, Michigan, plant the flag. They won.
19:48
I think Michigan should be able to plant the flag after they
19:50
beat Ohio State in a game where they're not supposed to win,
19:54
right? But I have no problem with Ohio
19:56
State defending their turf, their stadium and and taking the
20:00
flag. Jack Sawyer ripping the flag and
20:03
all that. This has been going on for a
20:04
long time. I remember when I was working in
20:06
Lansing, MI, the Ronzuk, Illinois team planted the flag
20:10
at Michigan State. This was like 2000.
20:14
Probably 2006, I'm guessing, don't quote me on that, but 2000
20:19
and six 2007. That was a huge story.
20:21
We had a a story with Ronzook at the the media day the next year,
20:24
the summer in Chicago where he laughed about it like it's fun.
20:28
I understand you don't want people to get hurt.
20:29
And that's where look, in my opinion, first of all, these
20:33
aren't these aren't church church boys, right?
20:35
This is what Ohio State, Michigan is always about.
20:37
And that's why I like as a broadcast crew and Fox, you
20:41
can't criticize and say how much of an embarrassment this is.
20:44
And then you're going to use this in your montage for years
20:47
to come with Ohio State ribbon down the banner with the Charles
20:51
Woodson David Boston fight with all of the the the mid midfield
20:56
pregame fights that always happened, right?
20:59
This didn't bother me one bit. And look, Ohio State, you can
21:02
say sore losers. I totally get it.
21:03
I saw some video of a Michigan dude throwing a water bottle.
21:06
I'm not saying it's good, folks. That's not what I'm saying, but
21:09
it's not that big of a deal. It just isn't.
21:11
I will say the one thing after the fact that I think was really
21:15
wrong. What do you guys think is do you
21:18
really think the pepper spray was necessary, right?
21:21
Do you really think that scuffle got to a point where pepper
21:25
spraying players and you saw some reporters getting pepper
21:28
sprayed, right? They're doing interviews about
21:31
it. Like do you really think that
21:32
that tussle got to the point where you needed the pepper
21:36
spray? The players that were out there,
21:39
like, I get it, They're fighting.
21:41
Fights happen at the end of a football game.
21:42
They're probably like Ohio State fan cops, right?
21:46
They're like, oh, they're all mad that Ohio State lost again.
21:49
They're just out there pepper spraying Michigan players.
21:52
Look, I have all the respect in the world for law enforcement,
21:55
but I think that was pretty soft.
21:57
That was some Paul Blart mall cop action from the law
22:02
enforcement there. I don't think there was any
22:04
reason that pepper spray needed to be deployed in that
22:08
situation. So what do you think?
22:09
And by the way, there was like a bunch of other games where flag
22:12
planting was going on. Again, I'm not saying it's the
22:15
greatest thing ever. Like, I get it, but it's not
22:17
that big of a deal. This is what rivalry week
22:20
football is about, has always been about.
22:22
This is what Ohio State, Michigan has always been about.
22:26
That's what makes it fun. It's the passion.
22:28
So to me, stop clutching pearls about that.
22:32
It's just not that big of a deal.
22:33
And so the broadcast crew, Gus specifically, was kind of
22:37
pissing me off just talking about how much of an
22:39
embarrassment. But I get it, it gets clicks.
22:41
They they they hung on it on the broadcast and a lot of people
22:45
are watching it is it's fascinating to watch a bunch of
22:48
dudes fighting at midfield, right?
22:51
I just didn't think it was that big of a deal, especially we're
22:54
talking about 250 pound, £300 dudes who are ramming their
22:58
heads into each other and giving each other CTE once a week for
23:02
three hours on the football field.
23:03
And then we're going to clutch pearls when they fight after the
23:06
game. They've been literally fighting
23:08
and beating each other's brains in for three hours straight and
23:11
you're really, you're really that surprised and shocked when
23:14
they fight after the game, Especially in literally the
23:18
biggest and best rivalry, not just in college football.
23:22
Is it fair to say it's still, is it still the best rivalry in all
23:25
sports? I remember when Sports
23:26
Illustrated, I think HBO did the documentary 2025 years ago,
23:31
whenever it was Ohio State, Michigan was ranked the number
23:34
one rivalry in all sports. I don't know if it still is.
23:37
It is to me, but that's the type of passion you get from this
23:40
game. That's why I'm so happy the
23:41
passion is back. Four years ago, I remember I was
23:44
on the radio. We had Orlando Pace on the
23:46
radio, another guy from the Toledo area, Sandusky, OH, And I
23:50
said this is when Ohio State had won like a million in a row.
23:53
And I said, I hate to say this, but I feel like Michigan had to
23:56
win that game for the rivalry, right?
23:58
This is four years ago. He kind of agreed with me.
24:02
But then you don't want Ohio State to go on as an Ohio State
24:04
fan. You don't want them, of course,
24:06
to go on and and lose four straight when you go back and
24:09
forth, All right? But then again, I understand if
24:11
you're a Michigan fan, you're like, dude, Ohio State smoked us
24:14
for literally 20 years and now Michigan's getting their revenge
24:18
the last four. OK, let's go to your comments.
24:21
Get your comments and questions, and I'll go for about 5 more
24:23
minutes here. Hummus hero says 96 was the year
24:27
Sean Springs slipped. OK, here's my guy, Keith Adams.
24:31
This is what I was talking about.
24:32
So yeah, how about the broadcast team acting like the fight was
24:35
the worst thing in the world when they're going to use as a
24:37
promo for next year's game? Yeah, I said that that was my
24:39
point the whole way. This is what the game's about,
24:41
folks. This is what it's about.
24:44
Again, I don't want anybody to be pepper sprayed, but I don't
24:46
think people needed to be pepper sprayed.
24:48
So all those mall cops need to relax there.
24:50
OK. I think they were pissed.
24:51
They probably bet on Ohio State in the game and those cops were
24:54
pissed about it. All right, so Mike Duggan says
24:58
fax, hummus, OSU great some what the years.
25:04
So there you go. Get your questions in comments.
25:07
And like I said, I'll go a couple more minutes here.
25:09
I'll make sure I go 30 minutes on this.
25:11
This is a a baseball site, usually Saint Louis Cardinals.
25:14
But let me tell you this, by the way, as I, as I go off on a
25:19
tangent here, I do want this to be a College Football Playoff
25:21
channel for the next couple weeks.
25:23
I'm very excited for the College Football Playoff and it it was a
25:27
couple days ago because obviously you know, the format,
25:29
12 teams and Bis and whatnot. But I'm thinking when are these
25:32
games played? Because I hadn't looked up like,
25:35
are they going to take a week off here and there?
25:37
And I'm telling you, this is going to be really, really fun.
25:41
You have championship week coming up this Saturday, right?
25:45
Probably a game on Friday usually also.
25:49
But Saturday, championship week, we'll have the College Football
25:52
Playoff show. They'll announce who the teams
25:56
are and what not. Can't wait for that.
25:59
And everybody takes a week off. So that week of what, the 14th,
26:03
they take off. And then so think, OK, so this
26:06
is Friday, December 20th night game, ABC, the first first round
26:11
game in the College Football Playoffs.
26:12
So that Friday night, you get one game at night, pretty
26:14
awesome. The next day, that Saturday, you
26:17
get three games starting at 11, and then 3:00 and 7:00 you have
26:22
the entire day, three College Football Playoff first round
26:27
games. That's awesome.
26:28
That's Saturday, December 21st, OK.
26:30
Then you got Christmas. Oh, it's Christmas with your
26:33
family. It's a great time, OK,
26:35
Everybody's having a great time. And then the next week, OK, so
26:39
I'm trying to find it. You got Christmas, da, da, da.
26:43
Then you go to New Year's Eve, OK, now you have the
26:46
quarterfinal games. Quarterfinal games.
26:49
I'm going to take my guy Mike Duggan off the screen here.
26:52
Although I love you, Mike. Thank you for comments.
26:54
But New Year's Eve, another night game on that Tuesday, OK,
27:00
of New Year's Eve, 630 quarterfinal game, Fiesta Bowl.
27:03
Then on that Wednesday, which is New Year's Day, noon game four,
27:07
O clock game 745 game another all day of College Football
27:12
Playoff games, quarterfinals, it's Peach Bowl, it's Rose Bowl,
27:16
it's Sugar Bowl. Then obviously you're down to
27:18
the final four. OK, so we wait a little bit.
27:21
College Football Playoff semi final on a Thursday.
27:25
So Thursday night, January 9th, Orange Bowl 630 on a Thursday,
27:32
then the next day. So these games are by themselves
27:35
not on the same day. Friday, January 10th is the
27:38
Cotton Bowl, those games both at 6:30.
27:41
And then you wait 10 more days for the College Football Playoff
27:44
National championship game, which is in Atlanta, right?
27:49
In Atlanta, 630 on a Monday. So here's what I think is
27:52
underrated about the College Football Playoff.
27:55
The bowl season didn't mean anything the last several years
28:00
during the College Football Playoff because dudes were
28:03
opting out. There were only three bowl games
28:06
that really mattered, let's be real, College Football Playoff,
28:09
semi finals and the national championship game and all these
28:11
players that weren't in the College Football Playoff were
28:14
opting out. You went from three interesting
28:17
bowl games over the course of 11 days to now having I think the
28:22
math is 11 interesting bowl games spread over a full month
28:28
right from December 20th, whatever it is 21st, whatever it
28:31
is to January 20th. This is going to be super fun
28:34
guys. I can't wait for this new
28:36
College Football Playoff. So here we go.
28:39
Keith Adams says sorry about Duke versus North Carolina.
28:43
Best rivalry and hoops. I disagree.
28:47
Ohio State, Michigan is better all time.
28:50
OSU coming for some revenge in the playoffs.
28:51
Scarlett and Gray till the end. We shall see.
28:53
I saw, did I see a, a mock that had maybe Ohio State playing at
28:58
Tennessee first round. What have you guys seen?
29:01
I haven't looked at everything. Let's see OSU VS U of M Florida
29:05
State versus Florida ACC got a lot of hard hitting games.
29:09
Mclovin says Duke versus North Carolina put the crack pipe
29:13
down. All right, on that note, I do
29:16
have to go folks, I have to go. Thank you for watching and
29:19
please support the sponsors of this beautiful show and live
29:22
stream. Triad Bank, Triad banking.com.
29:24
If you're in the Saint Louis area, best place to bank.
29:27
Best decision I ever made for my rental property business,
29:30
bringing my commercial loans from a big National Bank that
29:32
doesn't care about me to a local bank, Triad Bank, the customer
29:36
service, my guy Matthew Tobin, top notch.
29:39
You also have Corner Butcher over there in Valley Park in the
29:43
same building as Chophouse, now the beautiful restaurant they
29:45
have Corner Butcher West in Ellisville.
29:48
Check both those out for all your grilling needs.
29:50
If you want to get a good lunch, get a good dinner, then you have
29:53
Saint Louis Lawn care stllawncare.com, my guy.
29:56
Tim Jenkerson, St. Louis Equipment for your mowers.
30:00
Buy a mower, get your mower fixed.
30:01
They have the best brands. Skag Hustler, right?
30:05
I got some small engine machines there, a Husqvarna blower.
30:08
That's the fuel, the gas oil mix.
30:10
I have a battery operated Crest trimmer.
30:13
They do it all battery fuel. You can get your mulch there,
30:17
your rock. St.
30:18
Louis equipment, Saint Louis lawn care.
30:20
They do it all. All right, Hummus hero, one more
30:23
time here. The narrative that the expanded
30:25
playoff would make the regular season less meaningful was
30:27
bogus. This has been the most
30:29
interesting season in a long time.
30:31
Well said. I'm also very happy about that.
30:34
The Ohio State, Michigan game, you thought, oh, it didn't
30:36
matter because Michigan wasn't going to make the playoff
30:38
anyway. Ohio State was, folks, pretty
30:40
obvious that game still mattered, which is great to see.
30:43
And then Keith Adams says army versus Navy.
30:47
OK, but actually for a game that matters, I know.
30:50
Look, the pageantry, those guys, they're going to fight for a
30:54
country. We love them.
30:55
It is great. It's a great game.
30:57
I understand that argument for a competition, competitive, actual
31:01
game, that usually matters in the rankings in the College
31:04
Football Playoff, Big 10 championship, national
31:06
championship picture. It's Ohio State, Michigan.
31:08
But I can't argue with Army Navy.
31:10
I'm not going to argue against Army Navy.
31:11
I get that hummus Hero says thanks man good stuff.
31:14
Thank you to all of you as well. Comment like subscribe.
31:18
I'll be doing some more college football stuff.
31:20
I'll be doing Saint Louis Cardinal stuff if they ever do
31:22
anything interesting. Thanks once again.
31:25
Tried bank Saint Louis lawn care, Saint Louis equipment,
31:27
corner butcher and chophouse. We will see you guys later.
31:31
Thanks.
