I'll get back into the lion's top of the hour, but some quotes coming out of East Lansing.

And again, I'm not overly hung up on while he wasn't fired Sunday.

Guys, in the end, you're back channeling.

Like here, if you're not aware of this and I'm not insulting anyone's intelligence,

it's plenty easy to back channel, Keep yourself clear. Figure out who's

interested in what, back channel through agents, all while you have a coach. All right, it's just

the way of the world. Is it nasty business? It is. But considering the business also will tell

you the person you were knifing is going to get $33 million to just go the F away.

I can't feel too bad.

But here's the thing.

RICO asks a great question.

This weekend's game and the value of it.

Are you even rooting for Michigan State?

Do you believe there's a remote chance to win? And if they did the unthinkable, because I don't think these players have the heart to do this. See, that's the thing. I don't think these guys have the heart to win a game like this. I don't think they have the fight. I don't think they have the hatred. I don't think they have the understanding. The rivalry is different. And all

while I was growing up, if I hearken, MSU's never had more talent than Michigan, but they

beat them plenty of times. No. I think maybe it was a couple of years under Dan Antonio.

Right. But like, were we, were we better in 90? No. Were we better in 93? We're we we better in 95? No. We might have been better in 99 point taken. Were we better in 01? No. Like, you can't, that era. Right. We showed up to play. But I think at that point, you had a coach who would give the ultimate speech that wasn't he saved up all year long and that even john ell we took

him to overtime back to back years are going to belong in the same field with him right that we can

practice he had him dialed in and focused and it wasn't well i got to bring in some former players

come and talk to yeah and i don't believe this operation but my point is okay if he wins here's as far as I would go with you. He beats Michigan. I'm not going to fire him before the end of the year. And you can try to save your gig. Get to seven. Either that or you leave a lot of pamphlets. You know, Corvallis is pretty nice. Yeah, okay.

David, the ticket text. We'll get to the call. Actually, I want to ask you a question based of what you just said because I do believe you're right, Mike. Never been to Corvallis. I do believe there is a faction of fans within your fan base that wants to find a way to keep him. That will give him chances if he does certain things. Which brings

me to what Florida did this past week. They have Georgia on Saturday. And yes, they beat Mississippi
