And it's a Friday, the 9 o'clock hour, and you hear the music, which means one thing and one thing only.

We are joined by our good friend, John E. Bacon, Teddy's Daddy, John, my friend, happy Friday.

How are you?

Happy Friday, sir.

I'm doing shocking you well.

I even got a little bonus EA in there today.

That was nice.

So he's always a pleasure.

So great to have you on the show. And always the pleasure, as you said, to have you on the show as well. And I want to start with you with one of the things that I briefly talked about with EA. But we talked actually a fair amount yesterday on the round table. But it's a massive hockey weekend. So I want to talk a little hockey with John Eagan to start things off here in the show.

Michigan number one, Michigan State number two, tonight at Yost, tomorrow night at LCA.

The unfortunate part is that Ivan Kovic is still hurt.

And we know we're hoping that maybe by the postseason, peck has been solid, but he's not Ivan Kovic.

But still one versus two, these two in-state rivals, this is as good as it gets on the ice.

Dude, it's fantastic, and also, by the way, both teams are playing, unlike the basketball teams, both teams are playing great hockey.

Adam Nightingale has done a phenomenal job as the coach of Michigan State. I was stunned to learn that Michigan has been part of like two or three,

one versus twos ever in their history, which is insane, actually.

And first time ever in Michigan, Michigan State one and two, also insane,

although what almost always happens is one team's up, one team's down.

So it's very rare for them to be up at the same time. So this is, trust me, college hockey fans, as good as it gets. A huge stakes here.

And should be just, also just great, great hockey. The talent on the ice right now is probably

unequaled for that rivalry. Yeah, it's going to be great action.

We've got really good games, the first two.
