| 0:00.0 | All right. So we're just starting. Wow. Can't repeat what Rico just said. We're just starting with, again, when you talk through things on the show sometimes, you don't get to fully go down the rabbit hole. I have a view of college football. I think it directly relates to why the rivalry doesn't feel the same and why the sport doesn't feel the same. Rico's eyes got wide open. |
| 0:21.3 | I described MSU's players as gutless and I do view players in today's college football |
| 0:27.4 | are escorts, mercenaries, whatever you want to call it. |
| 0:30.5 | And coaches are talking about what it's like to recruit. |
| 0:33.6 | And the reality is, while you can't say it unilaterally, you can make a case that a vast majority, |
