All right, quick check on the ticket text.

0:01.8

TJ will join us at three.

0:03.6

I think it's an interesting discussion.

0:05.3

I hope you're enjoying it on some level.

0:07.6

Is this idea, look, article ranking Big Ten jobs the other day.

0:12.4

We think there's going to be a job opening in this state.

0:15.3

And MSU was not looked favorably upon by the athletic, ranking, I believe, 11th in the Big Ten. Now, I think

0:22.0

that's a little low, but it is only a little low if you believe, well, actually, let me rephrase.

0:32.7

I apologize. It's low, but the whole reason I think they could be more is that they just don't have

0:38.1

serious people.

0:39.1

You went from a holiday in buffet attendant and Bill Beekman to a cop and Alan Haller.

0:44.3

Now you have a business.

0:45.5

Today, you must have businessmen.

0:49.7

What?

0:50.2

What was Beakman?

0:51.8

A holiday and buffet attendant.

0:55.3

The mashed potatoes are done. I mean, like, we are a wholly unsurious place.

1:25.1

21 was magic. Since 21, absolute garbage juice. I mean, well, I guess one year was six and six. I mean, six and six. But if you go seven and six back to back years, it sure beats the crap we're hitting now by powdered milk. Fair. I guess when I think winning years, I think of eight or more wins. Okay. Then, yes, then it's very limited. You'd have to go back to 17 where they had a 10-win year and then they had the 11 and 21. Right. The whole point I'm making is it has to be better than it is, but how much better? And how attractive is the job today? Look, it used to be you had to sit down and eat Mama's Spaghetti or the Mastacholi and recruit kids. Now it's boats and hose. You're a pimp like Don Juan. You walk in with a chalice.
