All right, David, a couple of ticket texts.

If you'd be so kind, and then we will get to the people as we just talk again. Lines of a 53% chance now by winning last night. Confidence higher or lower. And unfortunately, yeah, I do. I have a little cloud over my head with this Brian Branch injury. I mean, torn Achilles is brutal. And that's kind of the straw that breaks Camels back to me. As far as winning a Super Bowl goes, yeah, no, I, they make playoffs. I'm not going to write them off from that. They're too tough to write off. But as far as winning anything of substance, like in my world is a Super Bowl, because we've seen playoff wins, I can't. I'd be lying to you if I said I had a belief.

Did the same damn thing after a lien got hurt last year. It's just how it is. There are certain players you can't lose. And they've lost enough of those players that it just gets a little difficult to me. Laporta being one, I think branches. If I said to you, hey, you've got outside of Jared Gough. You lose your quarterback your season's over. We all agree with that?

0:54.4

Yeah. All right. Outside of Jared Gough, if I asked you to name the next five best guys on this team, I think you've lost two of them. You can't survive. Oh, you're correct. It's too difficult. You're correct. I'm on Rob. It would be another one, Gibbs and I guess Hutchison. There you go. David, what do you got, buddy?

1:12.7

I'm over 53%

1:14.0

we are going to get in and run the table. Someone else texts in and says a week ago. We said there's no chance at the playoffs. It is a week to week league. We are going to win the Super Bowl, though. So the season is a failure, but it's on to the next game.

1:28.1

Yeah, as far as making the playoffs. Yes, I've never written them off for making the playoffs. I don't know where that comes from. Well, no, no, you had them below 53%. That's because that's what the math said. No, no, no, no, no. That's why people are saying, you're right. Well, here's why, because the 53%

1:45.1

you have to control what you can control,

1:47.9

but so much of what we need is out of our control.

1:50.9

And that's just it.

1:51.7

If we were sitting here and it was week 10,

1:54.8

that's different.

1:55.6

You have a chance.

1:56.8

After you got four games left and you run the table on all four, you still may not be in. I got to do the math, but I still don't think that you would be in if you ran the table. You still need help. That's the whole premise. All right, let's go to Jason 971. Jason, what's going on? Hey, thank you for having me.

2:19.9

Mike, Rico, I think you guys are studs, man.

2:21.7

I'm Michigan fan, but you guys are still studs.

2:22.7

Oh, I love you too.

2:23.9

Thank you.

2:26.3

Thank you for complimenting two broken Spartans.

2:27.1

We appreciate it.

2:29.3

I appreciate that, too.

2:33.7

But, uh, Brian Branch, I've been in season taking over for several years now. I've been a fan for 40 years.
