You purposely do that so you really could come in like the Many Loves the Grand It's like what play we calling for? Heavy body coming in, like just give me the punching in. It's called white Castle Knight. Oh you're feeling good right now? The white Castle Knight. Yeah. Hey, look, shoot, welcome to the show. You know it wouldn't be right without you here and
what you drink some gator Rade? Shoot? You know, you know it's a hundred show. As they say in Africa, you gotta come correct. They do come correct, correct, shoot coming in the score from the half yard line, all those guns registered. You know, you know what? You know? I thought about something and I screenshot it. I saw somewhere there was an article and it's a picture of me and running. It was like, oh, you know Jay Colcock runs for it was hence Kent State
three touchdowns and one hundred and one hundred uh thirty yards or so. I was like these mothers see they try to say I only get like one yard or one hundred something yard on twenty plus. So yeah, oh man, he was on route to being a two hundred yard guy. Give the name. And the worst game I ever had to sit on the sideline for in that rain, I remember that I wassed to keep handing you that rock that got John l five. Always as what's the longest run? Though? For
the fifty five? Who's that against? It's against u A b okay. Oh yeah, I remember you were schooled. I was like, yeah, it was like you had thought. The thought was don't get that's what he used to look up at the good video board yard who's chasing me? Man?
For the record, that's things that us lineman never even consider. You're like to see who's yeah, did you just did you just hit the sideline and be like, hey, I'll see you on the side of the celebration right right right, because I don't have I'm not on p A t because the slum tapper coming. Now. You gotta go in the end zone to celebrate. You know, I always want to, you know, I end up being a big back. Being a big back, you always want like
it was that cuss because you got to choose the lineman. Because as a running back when you score, like the coolest thing is when you when you jump in your lineman pick you up and put you, hold you in the air, dirty dance. And now you know, being a big back, you gotta choose which lineman you go to the strongest one, right, you were like, I saw your bench this over here too. I would have
had your hands up there. I know you what straight I got you and look, hey look, I'd be like, hey, you're going to give me a little jump start a little jump. Oh man, guys, look camp opened up, uh for day one, you know, yesterday, and you know there's a lot of stuff going on. We're just gonna cover up in the building today. How was it over there too? Yeah, you know, because I mean we're getting some updates. But you know, like what did you see when you walk through the building to date too? Yeah?
I was in for the later after practice and they were going through meetings and they were gonna have special teams. But I had the opportunity to see some players walking around and it's that typical first day of camp. Everyone's excited, everyone has you know that visions there. Had an opportunity to talk to coach Hazleton and he, you know, I say, hey, the boy's gonna be ready. He said, We're gonna be ready. Uh. You know, saw a couple of the linemen. You know, everyone had a
spring in their steps. You know, it's that it's the first day of fall camp. You know, when it gets to you know, the second week, when your body starts those hits, start adding up the hip flexer, start hurting the strains and everything like that. But right now, it's such a great optimistic building there as we see number ten Noah him and there and man, it look good on day one. I can tell you that
now. Yeah. Practice. So I came on the tail end where they were doing some like cool down drills because I got to call like, hey, get over here, get over here to practice. I'm like yeah, I'm like, what's up. It's like, uh, the air conditioning units ain't cold enough. I'm like, man, who called you seventy two hats? Like what is that? You know? I'm like, well, it was more so like hey, you got the you know what it is, you got a connection, we got the refrigeration. I was like, cool,
yeah, let me calling some folks. And I did, but I was like, man, we ain't had none of it. Man. Right, it was hot in that today. But like when you go in there straight and too, like they have two tints. You got these big I mean these big spartan like fan. That's cooler as that basically under the tent gives you some cooling when you have breaks and water breaks so you can sit down. So they got two of those big tints on the sideline and yeah,
man, yeah for players they take the breaks. Yeah yeah, man, it's like it's pro style. Now. It was hot, but it wasn't. I don't. We didn't experience more hotter days and it was two days, so like, and they wear the sells too, So I was like, man, like, I get it. You know, you want to keep their body temp low when they take these breaks. But uh, we got it done. Man, from a standpoint of at least I answered the call and try to deliver the solution. But they found it, found
out they to get it done. But no, everybody looks good. Everybody's press. Everybody got fresh fans right now, the bushy tail freshman all all naive thinking they're gonna play both ways and everything. Yeah, and they ain't nervous. Ain't no lineman nervous for that run test or nothing. You know, we gotta do twenty half gas of sixteen to one tens, none of that. It's a different world, a better world, I might add, I like it, you know. So guys, we're not gonna get into
any details with what happened with the team just yet. We're gonna say that for another show. But MSU did unveil the time hans a football building that new locker room yesterday, and we're gonna toss to a little video here. We're oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh yeah, refreshed me, refresh me, talk about what's talking about? We were old, we're man, we're just out. Hold up what I mean? You know, I keeps the stack. I keep the stack. You know how I'm talking about off
white laces and stuff. You know, I keep the stacks. I keep s stract. We're here, though, I do y'all good. I'll get y'all good. Little honey, man, what's up? How do you like it? How are you liking it? He loves this? You love this? You love you love He loved it. He loved coming. Incredible, guys, look at that. What do you guys think of the locker room? Like, I'm out here like man one boys, we have man. I remember when they tried to upgrade the gatoray becheine. He was like,
let's go. You're talking about refreshment and the thing too. Like in there, there's a big cold tub in the middle of the locker room. Yeah, so you don't have to do that. Go in shower, go to the training room, then come back again. There's a cold tub in the middle of the locker room as well. By getting that barbershop lined up and had the people ready for it, you know, looking smooth out there.
But it's it's that that, like you said, pure joy if their faces of Basically you sat and waited for the entire time in Liu, going across the street, being displaced, not being able to truly enjoy that locker room. It's nothing better than the locker room and being able to be with your brothers after you sweated and worked out, did the practice and the whole nine prepare for the for the season. So uh man fresh that lat lighting man, Like, that's a whole new, whole new deal man. I'm excited
for him too. And yes, Rolanda, I am jealous, like I would not not be jealous. I think it's great. It's gonna be obviously great for recruiting. It's great. You know that the players will have the opportunity and we talked about it for them having the opportunity, for the camaraderie, that culture within the locker room, it's gonna be super cool. But you know, just like the arms race and everything is keeping up with the
Joneses, have no fear spardanations. In five years, you will probably be able to buy those lockers at the surplus store because they're gonna have to replace them yourself. We gotta he's gonna be five to seven. We gotta, we gotta go. We got we still got catching up too much. Take technology in there, man, upgraded. When that big ten expansion comes in Clemson, you know, Washington, Organ Organ, they're gonna have to redo all those things. So look at that. Look at all them shoes.
Yeah, man, I mean that. I like that locker room. That that like slide out thing and all the ship that's sweet because trying those are drying racks in there. Yeah with the shoulder pads. Yeah, so it smells good in that locker room. Man, finally finally hugging lineman because the smell will be gone. Some of them. You can't help, man, you know, so you just can't help. That's sweet. Man. Like, when I I think that that you're talking about, you thought it was
the old wood. Is that what you're talking about? The locker room? Remember the wood? Yeah, that was brand new, Like so I went through that from the cages to the wood. You oh hell, you had cages, man, talk about it, you know, ninety four cages. Yeah, Freshmen used to get stuff in there if they acted up. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad, man, you know when I was a freshman, here's a here's a cut. Do they still red lock your locker if you if you use how you go red lock those boys.
Let's say let's just got that ring lock existent Wi Fi locks? How you locking people out of the locker room? Lockers now? Because remember you used to get that red locked. People be like, oh right, what was the red locker for? So the red locker? Yes, no, no, no, well almost that's your that's show, that's your warning. But you basically you must have missed class or you ain't doing what your You ain't doing what you're supposed to do, so your privileges get cut when you get
locked out. I remember rest of the people Mike Bell, Mike Bell had this is it was dirty, but Mike Bell got obviously he had a red locked. But then he had to get dressed in the we where everybody else was getting dressed in the locker room. I felt so bad. I was like, hey, man, I can honest here. I know He's like yeah, and coach man and man coach man, and he didn't get so no, no, no love for it. He was like, you're gonna learn this lesson, bro. So yeah, I'm just knowing how they're gonna
red lock you and these new these new technology lockers. Now, I mean last Trevor, I saw that, Trevor, don't think I didn't see that. What Trevor is that recruits gonna love that locker room. Many of you guys have sons who are recruits asking for it is tight man. Now that so I didn't get a chance to walk in the locker room. But that is the led screen that's above right where they put their face there there with their number. So that's that's that's legit man, from a standford just branding.
Man, where you put it, you can designate that recruits locker put his face on there. I mean it's branded all around. Man. It's gonna be nice to see that in action how they do the recruiting. Oh, so they're gonna have the big pictures because that's what you're saying, pictures of your hometown basketball, that stuff, little story about you. And I'm sure people are gonna be able to donate and you know for you know, a locker to be with your own name in there. Just that'll be coming
out soon, i'm sure from the Spartan Fund. Probably not because I ain't see no aim and see no real estate of that brick and mortar. They'll create it. It's all digitally, remember a little plans. Yeah, oh yeah, I think it's gonna be a little bit pretty higher of a dollar figure this time though. Yeah, if you know, history repeats itself. I think it's paid for it, to be honest. It's bond and paid for it by Tom Is on is Man. Okay, okay, it's never
enough Otis remember that one. That's true. You never enough. Look, guys, that's a beautiful locker room. But like one of our own, Kirk Cousins was named to the NFL Top one hundred. Listen at number forty two. Kirk Cousins, What y'all think about that? I'm always I always wondering too. Probably can speak more on this, but like, do you honestly as in this at the level? Where are you looking for that accolade
or you're looking for that achievement? Because like I know, k Kirk wont to win the Super Bowl obviously, So like the forty two is good people recognize around the league. That's great. I don't see people are like, yeah, I want to be top ten. I'll be number one, But like, is he truly you know looking at it. Yeah, he's saying thank you for all the peers and voting them in. But I know he got one mind. One goal in his mind is to win that Super Bowl.
So congratulations, you know, top one hundred and you got one of our dollars at forty two. Yeah, I see Tony Mandridge in that chat. Somebody that log in in real time. Go ahead to Otis's point. You know about that, you know, yes, you know it is something you do want to be, you know, when win championships and everything like
that. But this top one hundred is voted by your peers. And uh, I remember sitting there when you got those surveys, even like the Pro Bowl surveys, and you're sitting there thinking about all the different guys that you play with, and you know, you're playing in the league that's the lead of the most elegue. And if you if your peers can say you're in the top one hundred players in the league, that truly means something. That's
something that's truly and truly impressive. So yeah, I think you know, it carries a lot of water, carries a lot of weight. So you know, congratulations to Kirk, but you know, obviously, you know, just like everyone, the big goal is to win a super Bowl. Yes, it definitely is. It's you know, that's always gold to win the super Bowl. But it's cool being top fifty players in the NFL. Man,
I don't care. That's pretty It is pretty cool. That's one of those things that you can, you know, you have a little extra swag and in step when he's going to camp, you know, as he is right now. NFL kicks off today. By the way, guys, it's time All Fame game, Browns Jets. Yeah. Look as Cal Halliday name to the Bronco ne Girsky Trophy watch list. That's a nation's top defensive player. Cal looking thick and juicy on that little locker room revealed too, didn't
he. I wouldn't use those words. You lost me. You lost me at juicy. You know, so we're talking about guys, he want different kinds of I was thinking more juicy, like a turkey or something like that. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. But you know, like the funny thing is you you you that video there and kind of like everyone's going crazy about the locker room and he's just walking by, like, yep, I changed there. I changed there. Nice. I grew up on a
farm. I don't need nothing but the ball. Well. I like how they call him different, different nickname like body Man, his body Mandy Man. Is he wearing gloves this year too? No, he said he is not said. I was trying to help your rumors that you were. Trey Mosley named to the word for Trophy watch list. Trey there it is brom like you. He's cool boy. Yeah, man, I saw Trade today too. Man Trade? Is he cool as a fan? Man? Like he's gonna get the job done. He's a professional, pure professional man.
But uh that that wide receiver room is really big. But for for him to get that that, uh, you know, be on the watch list. It's always good for preseason awards to watch list. That's just you being recognized obviously for your your work on the field and obviously in the green and white. So it's good something to keep seeing you to put product on the field produced. So let's hope that he continuesly to climb up that list for
the end of the season awards. Ye know that that Worfle Trophy that is just by the way that's that's for the FBS player who combines exemplmary community service with leadership achievement on and off the field. And so that's that that is trade mostly So give it to him now. He's got the preseason workful Trophy. In my opinion, that that's one heck of a young man and we're
looking forward to have a big season and fulfill all of his dreams. Guys, we got to get to you know what everybody wants to talk about. Man, it's our Hunters show, and we're going to go over the top ten I guess you know, as voted on by you, the fans, the people particular right in no particular order at all. Uh, that we're gonna get to those top ten moments. And this is sparted MSU history after this message from our friends over it. I have what five dollars All you
can eat pancakes are back to celebrate. I have sixty fifth anniversary, So come on in even if it's your birthday too. Available for a limited time only at I hop download the IP can start earning three two. It is time twenty one, twenty one, twenty one dropped the pancakes. It is all right. Top ten moments from This is part of MSU history in our first one hundred episodes. Thank you for being here for our one hundred episode history in History. In History. Hey we top flight security. Okay,
what's up, Mama Hall? What's up? Pop? What's up? I saw that transformation photo of Jordan Hall there from January now in no particular order. And this has nothing to do with the intimidation factor because you're actually in the chat, the live chat. But Tony Mandridge makes the cut. He's the first one we're going to talk about. Tony Mandridge. Here's the clip. This was way before steroids, before I took any steroids, and that's
a that's a very sensitive subject because not many people know about that. So I don't want to get triggered or anything, right, So, so, uh, there's a misconception by people, including people that are even older than me, that oh, well, you played good because you took steroids, you know, And it's like, okay, well, then why didn't everybody
play good? You know, because there was a lot of guys taking steroids in the Big ten, and there was a lot of guys taking steroids at that time in the country, and it was like, so you know, and again I'm not condoning the use of steroids, but it's like you still, as you guys all know, you've got to be able to think on the run. You have to be able to listen to calls, you know.
And one of my big things was also, if I'm this big and this strong, unless I can run, it doesn't matter unless I'm playing nose guard or you know, and I just need to clog up both you know, a gaps or whatever. That's a whole different ball game. But if I need to be pulling and blocking on an island, you know, it's like you have to be athletic. You have to be able to run, you have to be able to footwork, you have to be able to do all this. You have to be able to do with you know, audibles.
You have to and then think about all the things that people don't talk about. You got to not get in trouble off the field. You got to go to class. And you know, there was people before my time and say you got to go to class, stay eligible. Of course I didn't take that attitude. I took the attitude of I want to be a Rhodes scholar. But that's why I graduated last summer or last fallege say,
after a thirty three year hiatus. That's so funny. Man. I was sitting here looking at it and I'm like memory and just laughing the same thing. I was like, am I am I live right now? The same thing. I was like looking at it, I was like, wait a second, I'm not wearing this right. I know. I was actually in Georgia, like the Georgia Football office, and I'm like, I was having a delay and I'm like, oh, I finally heard you guys last we know he was wearing those colors. Here. I'm gonna get it. I'm
gonna get it. I didn't have any loundary at that stop. Here we go. Man, all right, look I'll take it on the chair. But that was Tony was I agree. I think that that was the best one. I mean, there's no person, but let's be real, like that was one of those conversations like it was legit. It was a real conversation. I love Tony's candor. I love how you know, open, how you know, and he you know, talks about his time in Michigan State, how much he loves being a spartan, and I know he's in
the chat. Now I'm gonna call him out. We got him to commit to come into a game this year Michigan October twenty first, book your flight, Tony, You're gonna be talking. Look all the coaches, they were excited and we told them about this tone. So hey, like the whole team is gonna be educated on Tony Manders and the history. Look, it's important. We love it. That was an awesome interview. But like you're you're an awesome person, and we thank you for tuning in. Man,
it means a whole lot. It really does mean a whole lot to us. Man. So we'll continue the show here with our second you know moment that we want to talk about in no particular order, but it is caten Hauser. Caten Hauser makes a cut. Let's go to the clip. It was a crazy kind of turn of events. I mean, I was committed to Boise State. I committed there without seeing it is during COVID and everything.
It was tough, and that I expect is trying to find the right school and trying to commit early and then as of late, like Michigan State hit me up and started recruiting me. And I talked to Tucker a little bit talk to Jay Johnson, and they were showing me a lot of interest, and I was like, I want to go see it. I want to go see what Big ten football's like. I want to see what the Midwest is like. So I took an ov I'm pretty sure it was in
July, and I went up and I looked at the campus. I looked around, saw the facility, saw just saw the vibe from the team and the coaches staff, and I saw the opportunity for me to step in and be developed and be the best quarterback I can be at the school. So with that, everything that went into that, I just it felt right for me. So I made that move. I committed, and since then,
I mean, I love it up here. I mean I didn't think that from being from West Coast southern California going to the Midwest, how that would how that transition would affect me and how I'd enjoy But so far it's been great. I love it up here, and I found some really good friends on the team and stuff like that, and I'm really enjoying just like the team and going around campus and East Lanting itself is it's a great place to be so I'm really I'm really happy right now. Caiten Houses look the same
look that two had on his face. Then he has now, funny, you weren't smiling, My boy. Him didn't make the top to come on now that we don't know. But what episode is when we were calling out to and he disappeared from the set, when he came back, when I said, if you transfer, you shouldn't come back, and you know what,
I'm sticking to that, and then we came through it. But during that, like during the Caton Houses, which was a phenomenal interview, you got a lot of interests, a lot of people voted for uh, for Kate and Tony said, you know, because of our invite for him to come to the Michigan game. He says, they're not gonna test me. They're not gonna drug test me, are they? I'm like dying over here. And then what did Trevor. Trevor says something only a breath alive.
We should we should give the coach man in the show, Harry wants Tony to speak at the Downtown Coaches Club that Friday. Oh man, we're gonna set up some stuff here. Man, be nice to be undefeated at that time, wouldn't that be great? Good? Look, look, I think that Kate Houses was great. You know, Chu doesn't want to get into too much detail with him, but otis, like, what do you think,
like there's a quarterback battle going on? People like quarterbacks, right, yeah, I mean you look at the caliber, like I guess, the character of guys we have in that quarterback room. So I think it's the you see leaders and leadership in all of them. And I think you also see a different swag or different uh. I don't even know. The is
just from the standpoint of leadership slack. They know that they're gonna go out there and give them that they're all in their best, but also fight through that adversity because that quarterback position, I mean it's a roller coaster and if if you sit on sit on those woes, like you'll get lost in the sauce there, man. So for them to see how's poise is and then we had know him and you know him, they're just poised guys. Man.
So obviously we know they keep saying an open quarterback battle, but they all look good on day one. So it's just every day I'm gonna go out there and check it out and see who's separating themselves from from the pack. But he was good, man, he was good. He was very chill, but also conversational with us where you know, he understood the assignment.
That's all I can say. Absolutely. Look, look, speaking of knowing the assignment, you know, everybody loves this next one, you know, And we got a chance to hang out with him at the Spartan Dog con here last weekend, and it's none other than your favorite line back from back in the days Greece. Talking a little bit about Coach Savan. There
we go with him. I still never get this. He brought me on and we were talking about, you know, miss say something and it was off the record with he and oh but I was like, you know what, man, I'm actually thinking about coming out man. And he went over radio and said that, oh my goodness, and he asked co Savan about it. Oh no, yeah, Coch Savan felt like he got blind sided and didn't know how to answer the question. Well, you know, I got soon as you walking there, as soon as I walk in the building,
I'm like, I don't even know what he wants. I'm like, I was like, oh my god, oh my god. Of course, of course he yelled at me or nothing. I was like, I don't know what is he talking about. I didn't say that both of you on cue did the coach saving I telling you, Bro, that's something I Greece is always a treat to have on the show. Just being around man. You know, he just always intense, funny and uh man, look you know he's even better to go out with on a Thursday or a Saturday night
out in East Lansing. Almost as good as going out with you. I'll tell you that he's closer. But yeah, that was a great interview, wasn't it. Guys. Oh I wasn't there, but I remember I stopped. I hopped on before and to say, hey, I gotta say what something my big brother I because seeing him on the sideline when we were playing, it was like you watch him growing up all the time. And so I know that was a good one. Uh that I hate that I had
to miss. But I did tell him like, hey, I wish I could be here doing this interview with y'all, but y'all held it down. But Ike as a man, man fly, eagles fly, that's for you. Tony L And everybody out there. Moving on to our next guest that made the cut, doctor Reema Vassar. Mess you trustee, doctor Rema Vassar, Unless you trustee? You think after a hundred week that's all good?
We keep righting. Hey, you know it's crazy. She's she's spoken to existence, all right, because yeah, yeah, talking about will sign? Now that bill sid that bill is signed? Does that mean it's sign? Oh yeah, we're gonna get updates on it. Oh we gotta wait a little bit, give me the next week are gonna be Are they gonna be SuDS flowing in Spartan Stadium? I just hope, man, nobody really?
Is it like throwing cans out? No one's gonna can think about this like, no, you guys make it seem to be like, first of all, let me correct you. Let me correct you. What guys know? You guys now, you guys, is in a paint like this? The first time ever is gonna be alcohol sold sold at a sporting event NFL? Does other colleges do it? It's gonna be fine, But I do, I do know where the drunk take is going to be at? So did I didn't want to state it because like where are we going to do our
make ship jail and drunk take. He's like, this one is already the drunk take. It's been there. Let's let's get go to the clip of Doctor Evervassa. Here we go, and this is kind of the controversial piece, right. Uh, there are a couple of trustees who have really pushed to sell alcohol. I think that's important. You know, I don't drink. How about that I dream? I don't drink again a full nerd. I've never spokes marijuana a day of my life. I don't I don't drink.
I don't do an those things. But I do know people drink and that oh wow, okay, so yeah, so on the job, on the job, they dream. So so I do know that it's important. And really that Michigan Michigan State game, let me know, we could be getting paid. I mean these I'm telling you, they drank for three days before they got to the game, and so they're already falling down getting carried
out the stadium. If we have the alcohol there, I think it actually would be safer because people wouldn't be getting drunk before they get there, and we could also be selling that and making a profit. Prophetic words thereby our trustee sh my throat, yes whatever your throat went down, choos went up. Summertime, man, summer summertime. I tell you name now. Wait yeah, but like to with the who moved by this guys do it inside joke. But look, U, it was always it's always good to have
a trustee actually take the time to come on. This is part of the m SU. We really appreciate doctor Rimavassa coming on. And she made the cut and it was voted on by the people. No, I agree with you. I agree with you s hundred percent. You know, having that the you know that insider trading, you know, having the trustee coming on answered a lot of questions for the people, you know, for our fans
that listen. Uh, you know, I thought it was It was really cool, even though she did call me out, you know, have a little shif on the air, drink on the job, on the job, yeah we do. It's all good. You know. Hey, look we go. We're gonna get some updates from OTIS next week about what's going on with that. But I think things sound it sounds good, you know, moving on, Jim comperne Me makes the cut. The value of the transfer portal. Let's talk and see, let's look and see what Jim said.
Yeah, I think any fair and sensible fan can understand why players in this in this structure would be interested in going and seeing what they're worth on the U and the free agency market. And I don't follow a lot of the responses on Twitter. I see some of the things on on our message board at spidermag dot com. I was so busy Sunday night writing that I didn't
see a lot of the discussions. I know that some people were bothered by it, but really the only people, the only Mischigan State fans that were bothered by it were Mischigan State fans who don't follow college football and don't know what's going on. If you follow college football and you know what's going on, you know the going on all over the country, and it's going to get I don't know if worse is the right word, but it's going to
be more and more amplified where you know. I've heard I think someone else mentioned, did Lane Kiffin mention this? I know that Terrence Oglesby mentioned this former basketball player at Clemson. He's got a podcast, does really well. I heard him say this summer, I'm sorry this winner. Just before the tournament started, he said that he could see the day come when every single college basketball player enters the portal after the season. It just becomes compulsory.
Everybody enters the portal after year after year after year. Because right now there might be a little bit of a deterrent if you're a player, you might be able to gain a little bit of loyalty from the coach that you're trying to impress for playing time by not entering the portal. But you know what if ten or twelve guys did, fifteen guys did, then they all you know, what's to keep everybody from all going to find out every year what
they're worth on the market. Yeah, that's a that's a very good but uh, that was a great episode. I was. I really enjoyed that episode because one, there was an educational piece, you know, talking about the portal, talking about nil and everything like that, because that is the new way of football. That is not just football, but that's the new way of collegiate sports. So we have to get used to it, so you know, and and also to once you start embracing it, you'll be
fine because It's just like NFL. You know, when the season is over and there's that NBA, there's that free agency period there that opens up. It's exact same thing with college football now and the transfer portal. Hey, otis, what do you think? I mean? It took me a long time when you're doing an interview to realize that backdrop was take one. I was just playing No yeh, Jim, Look, Jim is the OJ because
obviously Jim. What was what was great about that episode was like even before he jumped on, we were the backstage, like he he knows exactly everything about us coming into Michigan State. Like that was one of those things that he is a vault of knowledge and history of Michigan State. And when he talks, he knows what he's talking about. He's not searching or Google and
stuff. He does the word work, and so all the information that he's given us was valid man, And so he also earns the spot of coming back on just because he has all that wealth of knowledge for but also for the fans and our followers. Every one of these guys are welcome back. Guys and girls are welcome back to the show at any time. But yeah, jim saw him down at Indian Oplis at the Big ten media day. It's good to see him there and love to have him back on the show.
Yeah, he big times. He was trying to get him, but he didn't make his way over turntable was trying to get on. He's all right, we'll we'll forgive you, he said, we'll forget Jim Man was all, Man, listen, we cannot forget this one. This We're going back down memory lane with Jimmy Ray right here. Yeah. So you guys, do you feel you guys lost that Rose Bowl because you guys are already national champion here just enjoying your trip. Yell. We were. We were.
We were rather than rather than splashing on the Peter perfume, we were drinking it, you know. We were we were all we were all full of ourselves. And they were blowing us up and jolly green giants from the Midwest, and we were a big football team, uh Bubba and George Webster and Pat Gallanoll and goobert. Uh. We were a big team. And we had played us LA open with them in the first game of the season at home and he's Lansing that year and beat him soundly, and so they
were beating us. Larry Prime Bred who could eat the most. We're Disneyland and taking pictures with with the Disney Parade Queen and we were just eating it up. We were all up on sunset whiskey of Go Go and just Whiskey Go Go, and I mean, man, Jimmy Ray was classic. I can just picture it to that that, you know, because they take you to Lowry's Prime for the Prime rig and they just enjoying it, like and
then at that moment hits. It's just like every bull game when you first get there and it's like, oh yeah, you you forget the mission, you know, you forget while you're there, and then it's like that third day, like okay, we got to buckle up. We got we got a game to play here. So I can just just picture that. I just like the background, we're just giddy, Like Jimmy's smooth, He's smooth
with it, man. But you know, to have got our lineup of guests, like we talked about this, We've had so many guests that just been top tier and like we can't go dours that people gonna be upset. We got to always bring the top talent side this show. But Jimmy, that is is right. It's good pressure. Pressure, pressure, it's a privilege. That's what my coach told me. They look, guys, look that about pressure. Well you either breed diamond or your hands. There you
go. I thought she's gonna say, you, Mike. You know what my Grandpaty said, Grand Pappy, Grandpappy. They had a lot of them in the while. Man, what's up waiting for the season? Guys? You know this next one we're gonna talk about a little n I l maybe no, no, you know who better to talk about that? Darien Harris,
who talks about amplifying their brand with the recruits. What I tell again, what I tell me recruiting that family on campus is my job, specifically is to be of service to you as a student athlete and to your family and to build the future that you want for yourself. It's not the future that I think that you should want, or we're not trying to create your future. You know, our branding, you know, program education program is
called define you for a reason. We're not trying to redefine who you are. We don't need to change you you are. We're just trying to help you better amplify who you are. So if you come through the door and you're like, man, I want you know, I want fifteen to twenty nil deals. You know, I want to work on my brand so that companies reach out to me or I feel comfortable reaching out to companies, and I want this many followers, and I want a blue check, and I
want to do a podcast, and I want to be a TikToker. Man, that's great, you know. Now, now obviously you have to still, of course do well in school, you know, graduations. First, we expect a certain level on the field of us we wouldn't be recruiting you. But if the other stuff appeals to you, well, let's rock and roll. Let's get it done. Man. He just spits all the time. Man, hey, look he's now that was the former player what was
the director of you know? But anyway, he's now with the nil he's an assistant a d otis so talk about Darren here as for a moment. Yeah, man, me and Daring have already came over to the eighteen fifty five start actually this Monday his office in the headquarters athletics, and we actually went to practice together. But you know we're cooking us some things behind the
scenes. But Darrin is a guy that you know has lived it, breathed it, and now he's has been in the football nights coming on to the administration side, and so you know he's being able to help, you know, drive the vision, control the narrative for NIL, but not just for football now, it's for our entire student athlete population, but also our coaches
and truly bring that to fruition because we've done a lot of education. We've already talked about this, We talked a lot about educating, educating for NIL, and it's now we're seeing the harvest of our student athletes out on social with brands now and so it's it's gonna start to be aggressive and more busy
for our student athletes and aligning with brands. And so him coming over here to help Alan and be a special advisor to Alan but also helped drive the initiatives for NIL is very well fitted for him but also for his trajectory of his career. So I'm glad that we have former dogs in there. Like I'm in the office and I'm like, there's no other athletic department that has
representation from former football players in administration, like we do. Like I remember it was me, Ashton, Darien stepping off the elevator and Alan's waiting to get on the elevator. So when we come off, Alan's like, like, man, we came off, you know, So like you know, it's just a seeing the representation of like, yeah, we came through here, but we're also being recognized of our talents off the field and we're in
the we're trying to make this place better than where we came in. So it's good to have a younger, one of our younger dogs coming in. But Darren, we all know Darien Darren is is cut from from the cloth, and he's a guy that truly loves this university, but it's trying to take it to the next level, competing globally, not just that nationally. So love it. You need some offensive guys in there. But hey, I see I see somebody in the chat that that might be Yeah, Claire
hucks Able. Boys, that's my baby. So we got Dann, we got we got Tony Manners, we got Darien Hanson's mother. That's look, this is beautiful Claire. That's what she said. She says Claire Inner. Claire hugsable boys. You guys remember them, Remember the Cosby Show? No up on that. No, I'll get out of it. Man, Yeah, we got too young. You look at me like that oltist. Were you seriously you're just joking. I'm serious. I didn't grow up like.
Okay, you didn't watch I'm saying you didn't watch it though at all. It came over and I'm saying, are you serious? I have you have seen an episode? I might lose my community call for this, but I have seen a full episode of the Cosby Show. Oh man, you have you seen color purple? Yeah, I've seen color purple. I missed it. Look moving on, thank you just here. That's right. We got we gotta. We gotta look out for our boy. Freddy low Man,
Curtis Daniel the third was on this show, you know. But the show it was. It was just magical with all the players around. They did the dancing, the President was dancing with him and stuff like that. But ow, we ain't never going on probation with Allen as our athletic. I said, come on, man, come on man, he was he was, he was, he was tripping. But yeah, coach D. Coach D is the one that made that happen because we tried to get him there
for the last game in Minnesota. It didn't happen. We tried to get him there for the Big Ten Championship, but rat rich Homey had a concert that day, and then we made it. We forced it and made it happen to get to La. Then rich Homie played a concert at the auditorium on campus afterwards. Prior prior to us playing this song in the locker room, he had never been booked for a show in Michigan. So after all of that stuff, you know, when I was talking to his dad and
everything, it was helping his career. It was getting him notoriety, breaking him into Midwest. And then after all that became the theme song. People booked him and he went and did a show at Michigan State and Coach D came out on the stage with him. It was cool because it was cool because some people in that position to kind of make a person feel like you just using them, but they kind of had really struck up a genuine relationship
and Coach D rich Homie started supporting us. It was cool for Coach D to come out and support him and even you know, when I think they had got shot or something, he called to check in on same thing with two Dove and then with you know, Coach d Man. That was my first time ever hearing him cry. You know when I talked to him about two Dove stuff, and he supported sending money to Tudove's wife, and you know, he just he just wanted to stay plugged in in that whole situation.
But he's as people know, he's he's a great man. Pretty low Curtis Damn the third man dropping them showlesout these just just so you know, Steve, I not only did I see coming to America, I lived coming to it. Yes, yes, I'm very happy to be here. Oh man, that was you in New York Man few too. Did you ever have a Jerry curl? Did you ever get that curl? So glow, so glow? No, No, he just got the juices and berries. Now, I mean, look that's outstanding. Man. Look guys, we
got that was that was That was eight. So that means we've got two more on this list for the top moments. And this is part of history. As we are on our one hundredth show, don't forget that if you've joined us late. We are celebrating today one hundred episodes today, so we are going to it's in no particular order, but our ninth winner for the day, Chuck Bradley. All that stuff's behind you now is behind us? Now, what's that mindset going forth? Like? Do you feel like you
have a chip on your shoulders right now? I got a real big chip on my shoulder. I can't read. Hey, yeah, I thought the first two years I ain't really seen nothing. But this gotta be my year just to bag Yet it's my third year a true junior. It ain't no Red Street red true. I got two more years. I can't wast no more time. Mm hmm. Yeah, you wanted to know what's going on? That was Charles after he went in the portal and came he went rogue and then he came back. He went a wall for a minute and then
he got his senses. What do you think, Oh man, we can't. I wish you would clipped that's because that's something was when we got it happened. I wish we could have gotten that one went you look, man, Chuck, Chuck, Now is all about that business, all about that action? Boss so just seeing him, you can see the weight off his shoulders because it was stressful because you know he talked earlier about before that clip was when you push your name in the portal, it's it is like you
just putting all the chips out there, like all in. And for him to be able one talking in the squad to recognize and honor that he's still on the team, because typically hit that transure portal, people are like, all right, bye bye, We're gonna find somebody else to replace you, and then you sitting there left in the portal. Well, at least he was able to say, I'm gonna test the waters and I'm still got my
spot here on my current team. But all he wanted to do was filed love and be validated and after and show it affirmation from us in Michigan State. And uh, he did get that. He got some love from from
from making that car, pulling that card. So I'm looking for Zero to be out there locking down and making sure he boken up and I've seen the transformation, so he also has both know he had that surgery, but he's boked up so he can at least staying with stand the season and no injuries, because that's the main key is like, we can't have zero be injured because he's one of our guys, our dogs on that defense, no doubt
about it. Look, you know, guys, I mean that was our number, our ninth entry as far as like the top moments, and this is why history Charles Brandley was awesome. You know, like before we get to our last member, I guess, look, we gotta we gotta go down. We got we gotta talk and recognize somebody, you know, somebody who is a feline lover in my feeline. I am talking about cats, not the cats that hang out on the street and like steal stuff from you.
I'm talking about real cats. Okay, we can't we talked about anybody, but two four sevens on Corey Robinson. Here we go kind of a five dight running back with really thick thighs and all that as I beat my cat. So yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, and it was you was chilling in a in a sprinter van, hanging out outside the bres. Look, I gotta get that spurner van back so we can right smooth
out here. Man. I didn't realize. I didn't realize I heard that thump though when he did knock, well, I just hit him in there. Cat Cat was just trying to get some screen time, you know, like look at me. I wish we had to sound effect like shout out to Corey Robinson. Man, he's a staple on the show. We're gonna try to get him on next week so we can get some like intel. He you know, he's got so many that, you know, we just
wanted to carve out a special place for you, Corey. So now for our one hundred episode Top ten Moments of all time, but this is part of ms U history. Lorenzo White makes the cut and we're gonna talk about the fore Hoole. He was like, hey, Reggie, how you doing. I said, I'm doing fine, Coach, what's going on? You all right? He said no? He said, I'm off at the I'm pissed off at the fore hoole. I said, what's wrong with the foo hole? He was like, he took every one of the plays, right,
each one of the plays. He let me know how many yards we got in each one of the holes, and he said we're not being productive in the four hole, Like, like who does that? Like, like, come on, like you know I'm talking about he done broke it all down, Like how many yards I done got from each one of those holes? Right? And he said we're not being productive in the fore hoole. I was like, Coach, well, I mean, like I thought it was fine, you know, man. We got the clip where he was
talking about sitting in the drill though. The thing too about it, He's like, what's the matter with the four whole? Coach? Remember it was like three in the morning. He saw the light under the under the dorm room door, so he was like knocked on the door and opened like you all right, coach, he's in there watching film that was setting the scene. And I know, you know one of our other live chat members was there. I'm sure too during that time, Tony Mandridge. Right, Yeah,
that was awesome time. And it was always good like having Lorenzo on man, and we got to have him on like for part two, three, four or five. That guy he's got stories for days. It was awesome. That's the top ten right there, everybody, What do you think fellas like that? That takes me down memory lane and I just look at the accomplishment. Man, when we're hitting one hundred one hundred episodes Jews big
time. Yeah, absolutely is. And we talked about this, you know, in our production meeting and you know, Tony Ell, you know, he mentioned you know a stat they're not less than that, that there's less than ten percent of podcasts make it to one hundred episodes. And uh, you know, one of the biggest reasons that we are at one hundred episode is because of everyone that's in the chat here, all the followers, all the listeners that uh you know that support us, you know every Tuesday and
Thursdays. Uh, you know, we talked about this earlier, you know, in one of these episodes, is no matter what's going on in your day, no matter what's going on in your life, we hope that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at eight o'clock, we can give you some type of
release, some type of escape from what's happening.
