College Football Talk.

0:00So stoning college football tonight, Thursday night games, a couple of big 10 teams in action. Minnesota and PJ Flack open their season against Eastern Illinois. Minnesota brings back a ton of starters from a year ago. Their quarterbacks back, their running back, who's a local kid from around here. Darius Taylor. Oh, he went to, I believe, Walden Lake, Western. If I'm not the juke, did you work that game? No. Oh, I will be working tonight. Fighting Lakers and West Boomfield will be hosting. Who do we play? I don't even remember. Anyway, oh, Troy Athens, I believe. Or Troy. Just right. I believe so. Not Athens to Troy. Anyway, PJ Flack over under five and a half for Minnesota this year. You know, he's, he's gotten Minnesota to a place where they're not an easy out necessarily, but hasn't really gotten them over the top. I don't imagine Minnesota, though, has huge expectations for their football program. So he's probably not in any trouble there, but no, they love him.

1:02Yeah. Illinois and Brett Belema. Illinois goes nine and four last year. They're total seven and a half this year in terms of wins and losses. Who did they lose that many players from a team of the one nine games? I mean, they're quarterback golfers with a lot of money. Sure. I don't know, but the one thing about them, they debut tonight a massive scoreboard. Have you seen the scoreboard that they put in in the championship? Where it's like the biggest one in the country or something? I will tell you this, you can make a scoreboard too big. Having gone to Jerry World, I think that scoreboard is distracting. It's so big. It almost like takes your attention away from the field. It is overwhelmingly large. And I think that could be the case of what they did down there in champagne, but they're bragging about it. And then the only brand on brand game is Colorado at Georgia Tech. I can't figure out Georgia Tech, by the way, has Mendoza's brother.

2:05Oh, he Alberto Mendoza will start for Georgia Tech. They also have Justice Haynes transferred from Michigan. Was that an NIL thing or he just said, you know what? I don't know. I don't know what happened there. Probably wasn't an NIL thing. I mean, or he just wanted fresh start somewhere else. Got hurt last year. But anyway, he's third school. Yeah, he went from Alabama to Michigan to Georgia Tech. Didn't Jamir Gibbs go from Georgia Tech to Alabama? He forgot the pit stop at Michigan. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. First of all, I don't know what to expect from Dion. Secondly, I can't, I can't, for the life of me, figure out why the numbers only six and a half. I'm curious. I would have thought that Georgia Tech was laying more than that, which I mean, I guess they should take Georgia Tech, right? Well, they don't have Haynes King anymore, right? No, I think it was the head coach. There's not a big ten game tonight. Well, it's fire, Rutgers.

3:05Oh, yeah. Rutgers is home to UMass. UMass coming off that spectacular Owen XII season, dog. They got to get it together. What's happened to UMass? I'm telling you, since after Don Brown left. It's a, was he the head coach? What do you think it was? was the head coach, wasn't he? Yeah. For a minute. Yeah. He just blitzed everybody. I mean, that's about right. 248, 539, 97, 97. Let's get back to your open mind calls. We got a Walt in Traverse City. What's up, Walt? Hey, Mike Ted Peeces, the Tigers and Answers. Benetti talks all kinds of garbage other than baseball. You know what? Hold on, hold on, hold on. We will take no Benetti Slander here. We will take no Benetti Slander here. Quite frankly, I don't really, I'm not a big fan of slandering other broadcasters here. But he is, I think he's fantastic. But even if I didn't like him, I wouldn't trash the guy on the air. And I'm not big on other stuff. No, I know. I think he's much better on the national broadcast

4:10than he has been with the Tigers lately. But part of that is because when the team's not playing, well, they got to come up with other stuff to talk about. That's a big part of it. What I love about him is his just pop culture reference. He knows everything. Seemingly. Yeah. Jordan, not a salion ax, Ty Jordan. But he does wear pom-poms. Hey, guys, how you doing? What's up? Hey, I got a big pet peeve. And I don't know if I'm the only one, but I haven't heard this one yet. I don't think. OK. Driving to work and driving home. And nobody knows how to use their cruise control. They're speeding up, slowing down. And they always seem to go under the speed limit when you can't pass them. You know, when you have somebody that you're trying to pass, like you come up to them and you're going 70, and they're going 65, and you get in the passing lane, you start to pass them, and they speed up. Oh, yeah. That's the worst. They ride your ass and throw their brights on. Right when you pass them, it's like you weren't even doing the speed limit.

5:11You know, I don't know. I am not a big fan of cruise control. You're not? No. Can you keep a steady speed, Stoney? Yes. OK. I might go around in circles and other towns. That is true. What do you make of the NBA's punishment to the clippers? A $30 million fine, a suspension of the owner for one year, and the loss of five first round picks? Well, five first round picks is a lot, but if the trade to Toronto is going to be allowed, which it looks like it is, they're going to get some back. So it's going to be not as heinous of a punishment. $30 million or whatever it is to Steve Bommer is like a dime to you and I. The fact that he's not going to be able to, he's suspended for a year. What's that mean? So he watches this team and at home instead of at the game. I mean, I don't know. I think really, and Kawaii got find what, $700,000, he should be suspended.

6:16So this was for circumventing the salary cap. Although I haven't really been following the case. Oh, I know. Is it like a few weeks ago? Didn't they release? There were no nothing, nothing to see here. And they found me and I got to give credit to Pablo Tury who's doing all this investigative work and broke the story. And supposedly there's even more to come. I think Kawaii fired his uncles as agent. That probably helped them the legendary uncle Dennis. I think they should not avoid the trade. I think Kawaii for a year. I think the five first round picks is significant. Even if you're getting some back, you could still make the trade and get those picks and have your five first round picks. I know. That is costly. It is. That's a big deal. In the meantime, did you see Tiger speaking of five, Tiger pled to his, this was his fourth driving and fraction.

7:17Tiger Woods. It's a fourth driving and fraction, pled down to reckless driving. His license is suspended for five years. He said three accidents and a DUI. Five years Tiger can't drive a car. Do you think we'll ever see Tiger Woods win a tournament again? A PGA tournament? No. He might win a Champions Tour event. That's about it. By the way, is he allowed to drive a golf cart? Is he allowed to drive a golf ball? I would think he's allowed to drive a golf cart. You don't need a license for that. You don't have a few vikinins or whatever that he has for his back. It's not. I mean, he should be driving a golf cart at a different store. Right. He's legally allowed to. Now in his community, I wonder if he can take the golf cart and drive in streets with the golf cart though. Because I'm sure he lives one of those communities.

8:18It's been said in the most obvious conclusion is he can have a full time driver on retainer always. Yes. Any of these guys should. Scott writes in a kangus, somehow behind a pay wall on the sports website and sent me a story that I couldn't open. But he's like, I don't know how I have access to this. I'm not signed in, but I have access to it. Scott writes in for whatever reason right now, I'm getting ESPN plus on my YouTube TV. Old Dominion women's soccer. 248, 539 and 97, 97. Little thing that bothers me when people clap during the MJR theater opening at movies, jump off a cliff. People from chair. Doug, I know like empty nest are now. Do you go out and see more movies? I'm going to make the attempt. Yeah, I'm about to finish my second book in two months. Whoa. Yeah.

9:19Wow. How about that? It's impressive. It's been a long time since I've read a book, let alone put down two in one summer. 248, 539, 97, 97. This is from personal experience after seeing Rush last week. I do not need running commentary on every song. That's from John and Lake Orion. Mustard is made with vinegar, which is an acid, avoid and avoid foil. It is not good consumable combination. That's the worst written sense we've had in a long time. Mustard is made with vinegar, which is an acid, avoid and foil is not a good consumable combination. Just MIDI, just MIDI proofread your text, please. 248, 539, 97, 97. Stony asked why mustard packets are hard to open and ketchup packets are easy to open. Yes. We tackle the big questions here. Carson Anderson, open lines, 97 one.
