Karsch and Anderson — Heisman?! 2000 yards?! Super Bowl?!. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Here's some of the answers from Twitter from Patrick. Don't be surprised if the Michigan offensive line is a finalist for the Joe Moore Award. I think there are three factors working in their favor. 54 returning starts. Everybody has starting experience. Summer with Doug Ellis, in the weight room to get bigger and stronger, which they say was a necessity and great position coach and the old line coach there, Jim Harding. Anthony, don't be surprised. The Jameer Gibbs has a Roger Craig season, a thousand yards or more rushing and a thousand receiving. That math works better. Yeah. Yeah. Certainly more possible. I think Jameer, was he second on the team in receptions last year? I think after Laporta went down and look, Laporta is obviously going to be back. But did he finish? I don't think he
caught as many balls last year as he did the year before if my memory is correct. Yeah, he finished second on the team of receptions with 77. That was wrong. Year to year, he went from 52 to 77. That was definitely wrong. It's all right. Don't be the first, during the last. Nope. Don't be surprised if Pat Fitzgerald energizes the entire MSU program and leads them to seven wins this year. That's from Mitch. That one's stunned. That one completely stunned me. Well, the fact is there's kind of this group of teams in the big 10 that it's hard to predict what they're going to be given what they lost and what they brought in in the portal. And Michigan State's schedule is a better Michigan State team could really navigate that schedule. But it is, it is not a gauntlet. No. Let's see here. What else do we got? Don't for the Lions. Nicholas writes it for the Lions. Don't be surprised if the Lions lead the league in sacks for Michigan. Don't be surprised. The Bryce Underwood is a
high in the Highsman discussion by seasons. And for Michigan State, but don't be surprised if they win eight games. I am trying to keep expectations reasonable for Bryce year to year. Get better and think about the highs. Please think about winning games. Please tell November if he's good. Coach Steve, don't be surprised with the Lions lead the league in sacks. That's a popular one. Don't be surprised if this is the year bread home swings for the fences with a big trade to bolster the secondary anytime, anytime between now and the trade deadline. That would that would be Mick. That would stun me. It would stun you. Yes. So I would be very disappointed if Brad wasn't considering these kinds of deals every year. And he just turned them down or they couldn't come to terms. A big swing for the fences trade takes a number of factors. Yeah, it takes the other team to agree. And it takes the other team. It's the player to be available. Him to them to be able to fit them in the roster budgetarily,
budgetarily. They like them under the budget. It's like me with seriosity. Yeah. And the Lions can afford to give up what that other team wants. The next one is from Dennis Lions fans. Don't be surprised if Brad refuses again to make a move at the trade deadline to approve the Lions playoff change. Oh, let's go to Danny. Your next on 97 one. Hello, Danny. Hello, gentlemen. Don't be surprised that Eastern Michigan and the feet of big friends school this year. Wow. They have. Wow. What you'll think. And I know they're back to that game. So Wisconsin and Michigan are both down. Just you know, Kim, go back to East Lansing and get a win would be awesome. I don't think it's going to happen, but don't be surprised. Okay. So Noah Kim had a huge opener against new Mac opponent Sacramento State. Eastern Eastern is in first place in the Mid American conference as we speak. Big that sex. That's that's sex state team. Isn't it crazy that Michigan State will be facing
three of their former quarterbacks? It's unbelievable. Yeah. That's the crazy thing about it. House is the quarterback at Illinois and eight and child is Northwest. Yep. And I got to tell you, Danny, I don't know what's going to happen like with with fickle at Wisconsin. But they got away from their identity. I think it was a welcome change. They were sick of being just this team that handed the ball off 70 times again and pounded it down your throat and were great in the trenches. Fans wanted things to be a little bit more exciting. They got fickle and it has not taken root the way I'm sure they would have expected. So if you're going to get Wisconsin, it might be a good time to get them. Greg and dear boy in your next. Hello, Greg. Hey guys. So don't be surprised if winning him wins a coach of the year. I think in the country or the big 10, the country, the bear Brian or whatever. Okay. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I know that he emphasized
the difference between like him and more like specifically. It's very, it's very, it's business. It's very business like, um, you know, the, the, the saying about Michigan was they needed an adult in the room and they got it. Um, and I, I, I know that he emphasizes. He's in on every special teams meeting. He talks about special teams with a great passion. He says he tries to win games on special teams and I'm trying to survive. They're trying to win games on special teams. He is all over that. But you know, we'll see it's, I had a ton of respect for him with a coach over the years. I can't believe he became available. I think he's exactly what Michigan football needs. At this time, absolutely. People, people like to say he's too old and I like to say he's not old enough. You know, I, I think he's, I think he's just a solid, solid coach that, you know, they might go nine and three this year, but the biggest, one of the biggest things is just put a rudder down, man, to grow some roots and get this program back to what it was and no more of the, the, some of the embarrassment. Yeah. Um, I mean, he won't be texting in half time. Put it that way.
Right. But I, I really think that it's a fundamental based don't, you know, make huge mistakes, kind of approach to football. It's been big 10 football out in the mountain west in pack 12. And then I guess mountain west pack 12 and then big 12 for years. He's been playing big 10 brand football. Uh, from Raymond, don't be surprised if Jared Goff has his best season ever under new offense coordinator drew pet sing. That wouldn't be stung. Then he offered up stats, 4630 yards passing, 72.5% completion percentage, 33 touchdowns, a career low seven interceptions. 72%. Wait, wait, wait, top the 24 season he needs to have at least. Yeah. That's what he, that's what he threw out there. Logan says, don't be surprised that the offensive line and secondary issues plague the team all season long and they comfortably miss the playoffs again. This will raise questions of Brad and Dan. Are the answer to the team to get over the hump or a hump of talented beflod to get him over the
hump of talented beflod to talented and complete as a team. That's from Logan. Let's see from Mike, don't be surprised. Jameer gives us an injury by week four. Please know. From cardiac cats fan, don't be surprised if sailors does very well and takes 20% of the running game. And for Michigan, don't be surprised if Jordan Marshall's best running back couch football and underwood has two plus runs of 50 or more yards this season. The underwood runs wouldn't surprise. No. And best running back couch football. I don't know about that, but I think Jordan Marshall is going to have a huge year. Katie Loggeroove, don't be surprised that the pistons are number one in the east again. All right. We'll continue with this. Stoney sent something in his show prep sheet today. In his words, a little thing that just bothers the hell out of me. It's non sports. And Stoney, is this is this something that everybody is going to have heard of?
Yes. And there's some I ran it by John and Kostin. John likes it. The complete opposite of what I do. Really? Okay. We will get to that today at 1146. And we'll ask you, is there something as Stoney put it a little thing, but just bothers the hell out of you for no reason. Alex and St. Clair Shores, don't be surprised that Michigan state shocks the big 10 and gets 10 wins this year. Next tech, don't be surprised with the little beat MSU. Vince of the car, don't be surprised that Michigan gets 10 wins and makes couch football playoff. Nute or canoe in Westland, don't be surprised that the Lions miss the playoffs and Dan Campbell enters next season. I'm the hot sea. Now they don't make the playoffs. He will be on the hot sea. 248 at least by the fans. 2485 3997 97. Here's one. Don't be surprised if Tony and East and Ferris State go undefeated and win their fifth national championship in six years. So we've checked the Eastern box. We've checked the Western
box. We checked the Ferris box. We need central fans, Grand Valley, Saginaw Valley. And of course, Michigan, Michigan state and the Lions fans don't be surprised if it is Carson Anderson, Stoney and Ferris Anderson here on 971.
