Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.8 where it's Ohio State Week early.

Thank you. All right, Alex, before we get going, do you have any rigly takes on the weekend? Brian had some serious Wrigley takes. Seth and I had some. I felt like I was watching a different game than Brian. You were watching a different game. Well, you easily could have been. Because he was like, oh my God, the broadcast was like so different, so terrible. I didn't notice anything different at all.

You didn't think it was poor? No, but I also, like, I do, I have to write stuff down, like, during the game, so. So you're not just staring all the time. Play happens, and I have to scribble down a note or something. So, I may have been, on a yellow legal pad? There may have been things that I missed that Brian was discussing or whatever.

I mean, so they didn't have a net in one of the end zones, which is why Zavado's game winning field. The kick went out of the

stadium. Which is kind of awesome, right? Yeah, I mean, that's a cool thing. He like hit a home run

at Wrigley. So my take on the Wrigley thing is I was against that game for a simple reason.

Oh.

They didn't have the dirt across the middle of the game.

Like the 1990s NFL stadiums?

If you are going to have a game in a baseball stadium and not give that to me, what's the point?

That would be an incredible.

You know, I don't know. Does that add any you know i don't know does that add any variance i

don't know but that was such a as i was a child that was such a treat about watching the games at the

at the old at the coliseum and ohiolecum or in Miami there's infield dirt it's across midfield

should they have kept the pitchers mound too?

So that like you had to run up and down the mound or no.

So I will tell you that they did have a track that was behind the Northwestern bench where you had the camera cart, you know, because they drive the cart up and down there.

And so like they did have one on that side.

They maybe didn't have one on the other side.

And he was right about the, I guess, their metal wires, I suppose.

Because, I mean, they were kind of in my view where I was sitting up in the lower part of the upper deck, but, um, it didn't, it didn't seem to, I mean, that's, it was fine. Like, is that ideal? No, but like, you're at Wrigley Field. Look, what, what are you expecting? Of course, he doesn't get out Wrigley, but did you, do you find that kind of interesting that they would play there and not in Soldier Field? I don't know if they can rent

out Soldier Field for
