| 0:00.0 | Three o'clock. Good to have you with us. Happy New Year to everybody. We are going to get to some lions this hour, but I have people who want to wrap about what's about to happen is Michigan and Texas, but not the way you think. So let me two seconds and we'll go to the people because they've been very patient. This game is a uniform game. It's a helmet game. It's Michigan. It's Texas. It's the citrus bowl, which I'm not trying to make it the Rose Bowl, but a uniform game. It's a helmet game. It's Michigan. It's Texas. |
| 0:24.1 | It's the Citrus Bowl, which I'm not trying to make it the Rose Bowl, |
| 0:29.9 | but a bowl game that if you're over the age of 30 meant something mattered. |
| 0:34.6 | And the game means nothing today. In fact, Texas, seven of their 11 defensive starters have opted out. |
| 0:40.0 | Their entire running back room has opted out for Michigan. You're down Barham, who's, |
| 0:45.7 | my opinion, your best defensive player, more down four linemen. Look, it's, it's, I want to understand what value is left in any of this. |

| 1:21.0 | playoffs, you hate your team. |
| 1:23.9 | I mean, that's a pretty twisted way to view college football. |
| 1:27.1 | But here we are. |
| 1:28.4 | And callers have been great today. |
| 1:31.0 | And I think a lot of people, this is the other angle to it, guys, is it starting to sink in for you? |
| 1:37.3 | Like I understand it's fun and Rico makes fun of me and I make fun of myself, but like how much I've grown to hate college football. |
| 1:44.0 | But is it start, I feel like I've grown to hate college football. |
| 1:47.3 | But is it start, I feel like it's starting to seep in. |
| 1:52.7 | I feel like, hey, you know, the neighbor upstairs, they left their sink on. |
