Welcome to the Andy Staples show, another dear Andy edition.

You ask such great questions.

We give mostly mediocre answers.

I always bring on a friend from The Athletic to help me out to answer these questions.

And everybody's favorite friend from the Athletic is the one who, well, everybody but the Michigan's fan's favorite, is Ari Wasserman. You know him, you love him. We're probably going to end up talking about candy or fast food or snacks of some kind by the end of this thing or maybe at the beginning. But we're also going to talk about a little recruiting. We have a Vegas question. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on. So

Ari, welcome. You know, it's my goal, Andy, that by the time, uh, this next year ends, maybe we'll

give it to the end of 2021 that Michigan fans will start liking me. We're working on it.

Well, I think the last two times you've come on, you've not said anything to enrage them. So I'm happy about that.

I feel like we're growing here. Yeah. I think we'll give it a few months, see how Harbaugh finishes the

class, and then maybe I'll start saying nice things. Well, and I don't want to get ahead of ourselves

or put the cart ahead of the horse, as it were. But if there's a situation where the best draft eligible players do happen to leave,

yet football happens to get played, it would seem the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is the one

that would tilt the most if that happened.

Yeah, well, it was so funny, too, is that on our podcast with Bill Landis 4 to 6, pay and be on the athletic network, I just used you to plug. Shameless plug. But we talked about, like, what you would do if they play, and putting Michigan as the opener would be my vote. Like, imagine if that was the first game of the season right starting now that gets announced so

you get the next six weeks to kind of anticipate that I think that'd be a blast and then you

make sure it's played like I think it's great but you know what happened is all those lock first

rounders at Ohio State would play that game and then go pro just to beat Michigan and piss everybody

off I mean wouldn't that be like if that were to happen uh I think Ohio game and then go pro just to beat Michigan and piss everybody off.

I mean, wouldn't that be like, if that were to happen, I think Ohio State fans might appreciate that better than a regular Michigan win.

Oh, they would build statues of those guys.

Sean Wade, thank you so much for waiting one more game, play one more game Justin Fields,

and then bounce just to keep the streak alive. I think people who love college football have this love for the
