What do you do when you do it? Baby. You know that thing would be right. You know that is the sound, the theme, the intro, just the sound of the college football function. You know the voice by not right is Sam Funk, AKA XEM, AKA Andrew's cousin, AKA Andy's cousin, AKA Mr. Stuyu Garamall, AKA Mr. Perfect, AKA a lot of AKA's, let's just say that. I have a lot of AKA's. A lot of them, not too proud of, but that is for another day and another date. But you know, it is the college football function, baby. I am here on another beautiful day, let's just say it's in May. I'm going to say the date because I'm going to start banging these things out left and right and I'm going to send them to Mike and he can publish and you know, put them out whenever he so pleases. But I am here, of course, to talk college football. Last time we talked, we were talking the ACC conference, you know, the Atlantic Coastal Conference, you know, of course, talking about Clemson and Florida State, probably the two dark horses to, you know, contend for that conference championship and, you know, hopefully send, you know, at least two teams to the college football playoff because like I said the last show, this season is, you know, a real stepping stone, you know, it's a real change of pace from what we have seen, you know, the college football playoff used to be four teams and they finally, you know, stepped up in class and, you know, put, you know, a 12 team playoff out there and, you know, there's power for, you know, you have the ACC, big 10, big 12 and the SEC and there's not going to be very many spots, you know, a lot of people say the 12 team playoff really gives a lot of teams an advantage or, you know, a possibility, you know, to get in this tournament, but at actuality, only, you know, maybe five or six have a, you know, real true, you know, chance, you know, to host that trophy, you know, I've said it before, it's an ugly trophy, I'm not a fan of it, I miss the old crystal ball, you know, of the old BCS days, but, you know, those BCS days crawled, so we can walk, right, so 12 team playoff, power for, you know, four big conferences, super conferences, talked about it last time I talked with you, you know, the ACC got a couple of new guys and, you know, I've said it before, but the ACC is very top heavy, you know, you say ACC conference, you think of course Clemson, and then of course if you're relatively new to college football, you can say Florida State, but the likes of Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, have kind of been few and four between for the best 10 years, because Clemson has kind of held that crown for that conference for a long time, and we're going into a new conference, I'm going to do alphabetically, and of course ACC was the last time we talked, we're going to do the big 10 today, because it's just alphabetical, big 10, big 12s next, then of course, sorry, a SEC, so we're going to do the big 10 conference, going to talk about all these members, and then we're going to break down the two teams that played for the National Championship last year, and it just so happens, those two teams are going to be in the same conference this year, that is the big 10 conference, but before we do all that, I want to do a little two scoops of hoops, a little hot ice, this is big time for me, not going to lie, I am a big football fan, I'm a die hard football fan, I love football, I've been watching the UFL, if you have not been watching the UFL, you should definitely tune in at any given weekend, Saturdays and Sundays, it is on ABC, Fox, ESPN, you have Birmingham and St. Louis, there are some really good teams out there in the UFL, but what a lot of people don't know is the UFL is a feeder to the NFL nowadays, because let's say somebody from the San Antonio Brahmas, you know, a running back quarterback or to receiver has a really good year, you know, they might end up on an NFL squad, you know, this coming up year or maybe even next year, you never really know, and hopefully if you're watching that, just like if you're a football fan like I am, a guy that just breathes football, just lives football, you know, screams football, you watch it, and you know, I know it's not the NFL, I know it's not college, but it's still good football, you know, especially if you watch, you know, some really good teams, you know, like I said, Birmingham, St. Louis, San Antonio, DC, and you might even, you know, watch these teams and see a player that plays for you alma mater, you know, if you're a Penn State fan, Oklahoma fan, Clemson fan, USC fan, you might see somebody on one of those rosters that, you know, you're kind of familiar with and you would love to see that person thrive, you know, in this lesser league, I know the UFL is not considered lesser league, but to people like you and me of course, you know, it's not quite the NFL, but I know you have a good year and, you know, you do your thing, you might end up on an NFL practice one, you never know, and you know, injuries here and there, you might end up actually on a game day squad, you never know, but I hope you're watching that because it's very interesting, it's getting to the end of UFL season, but like I said, two scoops of hoops, hot ice, whatever you want to call it, it is the final four in the NBA right now, we have the Boston Celtics on the East, Mr. Mike Ritter squad, going up against the Indiana Pacers for the Eastern Conference Crown, and then on the other side of the board, you got my Dallas Mavericks, been a Dallas Mavericks fan for as long as I can remember I've watched Dirk play many times, I watched the Nash, you know, I remember when Jason Kidd played for them the first time, just so you know, that just shows my age just a little bit, but I have been a Dallas Mavericks fan for a long, long time, and you know, 2011 is a year that lives in infamy with me because, I guess I wouldn't say infamy, but just something I remember and I quite fondly, you know, recall because that was the year we won the championship, so it's been a long time since 2011, and just a couple of years ago, the Dallas Mavericks were in the Western Conference Finals, going up against, of course, the Golden State Warriors didn't do the job, the Golden State Warriors, I'm not mistaken, I do believe they ended up losing that year to Milwaukee, I think, I'm not sure, like you said, I can't quite fondly remember because once my team gets eliminated, I kind of don't give a shit what happens in the Finals, be perfectly honest with you, but my Dallas Mavericks are going up against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a very, very good team, you think the Timberwolves, I think, Kevin Garnett, they got a squad, not going to lie, the Finals this year, coming up in the next couple of weeks, is going to be a great basketball showdown, it's going to be, you know, some prestigious, you know, school and schools, sorry, they can't accomplish it, both sorry, some prestigious programs, possibly going up against each other, of course, I would love my Dallas Mavericks to make the Finals and of course, if I had it my way, I'd love for the Indiana Pacers to make it just because, you know, but if I want a good series, if I want a series that's going to go game seven, I want to go against the Boston Celtics because Kyrie Irving is on the Dallas Mavericks team now, a guy that has just kind of been passed around, a guy who a lot of people will forget, was very pivotal in that Cavaliers championship not too long ago with LeBron James, I don't think LeBron would have won that, you know, Finals, that Larry O'Brien trophy that year that wasn't for the likes of Kyrie Irving, has kind of been passed around, he tried his thing in Boston, didn't quite work out, he's kind of been bounced around, he's a guy that is definitely cutting the short end of the stick, but he fits with Dallas, he fits with Luca, and I hope for the sake of my Dallas Mavericks that, you know, we go right back to the Finals and I hope we play against the Boston Celtics because it would be a great series, it would be a highly watched series, I think it would have a lot of superlatives and have a lot of underlying things for people to watch, so but you know, the Timberwolves and Pacers are no scrubs, these are guys and teams that have performed, I mean the Timberwolves had a better record, I do believe they came in as the two seed in the West, yeah, the Indiana Pacers have kind of been like the Mavericks, they are higher seed and made it a lot farther than were probably being forecasted, but in the long run you want the best matchup in the Finals period, so I'm hoping for a Mavericks Celtics NBA Finals for that Larry O'Brien, but that being said, you gotta go to the ice because I am a hockey fan too, I am a big hockey fan and of course I am a Rangers fan of course the Texas Rangers winning the World Series not too long ago, my Dallas Stars and my Dallas Mavericks are back in the Conference Champions, so I kinda, I'm a little greedy right now, I kinda want all my teams to win a championship at one given time, you know, I am a Texas Tech fan, I don't know that feeling, you know, yes I am a Mavericks fan, yes we have won a championship in 2011, yes I am a Stars fan, we won it back in 1999 and actually I have been a Stars fan since the early 90s, well I guess I should say mid to late 90s because as people know, the Dallas Stars used to be the Minnesota North Stars and I found that out because I used to watch the Mighty Ducks, I don't know if anybody remembers that Disney movie, hockey movie, big fan, I was a, I loved the Mighty Ducks, made me want to play hockey and then playing in Minnesota, you know, you would see North Stars hats and Stars jersey on some of these little kids, so on and so forth, made me like the Dallas Stars, so ever since the 90s I have been a Dallas Stars family and we won it back in 1999, but 99 was a long time ago, damn you're, yeah I guess technically 25 years ago since my Dallas Stars have hoisted Sir Stanley's Cup, in my honest opinion, out of all the professional sports trophies is my absolute favorite, I mean Lombardi, Larry O'Brien, the commissioner's trophy, I think the Stanley Cup just, it's got a sexiness to it and it's big, it's, you know, it's been around for well over 100 years I think, it's been growing and it's, it's just, I just look up, if you don't know what the Stanley Cup is, I'm sorry but look it up, it's a beautiful trophy in my opinion, like I said it's the most beautiful trophy in all of sports and my Dallas Stars are going up against the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Championship right now for the NHL, the Final Four, you know, Final Four NHL, Final Four NBA, they both kind of start their year at the same time, they both play 82 games and it comes down to this on the other side, of course on the bracket, you have the New York Rangers, I don't know if Mr. DJ Fucking Kuzmo is a Rangers fan, he could be an Islanders fan for all I know, hell he could even, he might not have been a hockey fan, but you have the New York Rangers going up against the Florida Panthers on the other side, but you don't necessarily think about the finals until you get through what is right in front of you, so I have the luxury of seeing my two teams and their respective sports are in the Final Four, and not only toot my own horn just a little bit, I bowl, yeah as a lot of people know I call myself Mr. Perfect, I don't know if anybody listened to that show, when I said that I finally got to bowl my 300, you know it took me well over 10 years to bowl a 300, you know I know it's only 12 strikes, but you have to get them all in a row, and it's very hard to do, it took me very very long, and that's why I always a.k.a. listed perfect, you know because uh you know I got my 300, but summer fall league you start a league, you go to your bowling house, they have leagues, and a fall league usually lasts about 36, 34, 36, 38 weeks, you know usually start around September, and it goes all the way through May, and my team, we just won the championship, the league championship last year, so I kind of have that going for me as well, and I know a lot of people say Amsterdam, championship blessings right, I absolutely, I am absolutely happy about it, you know stars, Mavericks, my bowling team, but and of course the Rangers, but my Carolina panthers suck, everybody knows that, I am a big die-hard Carolina panthers fan, and I'm almost guaranteed the Carolina panthers aren't going to play for the Lombardi come February, but I'm not here to talk about that, I just kind of wanted to let everybody know how CM is doing on his end, give a little two scoops of hoops, two scoops of hoops, throw a little hot ice out there, just talk about what I'm into right now because I'm really trying to take my mind away from football, you know I will dive into basketball once you know the Stanley Cup has been awarded, once the Larry O'Brien trophy has been hoisted, I'm going to watch my Rangers, and then I will just tie myself up, you know I will twiddle my thumbs until it is time for college football, and like I said I'm here talking about the big 10 conference, a juggernaut, I mean it always has been, it is just one of the best conferences out there, anybody will tell you, I went back you know the past couple of years at you know last year, the Michigan Wolverines, always staying at trophy, winning the national championship, and they go into this coming up year 2024, 2025, and the conference only got stronger, like I said about the ACC conference that I talked about the last time I talked to you guys, the ACC conference didn't really get stronger, they added Stanford California and SMU, now the big 10 added Washington, the national runners up, Oregon, the Ducks, you know a perennial powerhouse, a team that has definitely put their thumbprint on all of college football, if you're 20 something, if you're 30 something, you know the Oregon Ducks, and if you've played the college football game in CAA, you might have possibly played as the Oregon Ducks just to create some sort of uniform combo, a cool helmet with a cool you know jersey with some cool pants with them cool shoes, you know the Oregon athletic director is the guy Phil Knight who owns Nike, so they kind of get all this blitzing flamber, I know Oregon gets a bad rap because yeah they look cool, they put out cool uniforms but they haven't performed, but you can't tell me that Oregon has not put their own fingerprint on college football the past 20 years, not only Oregon, they added USC, the Trojans, if you're a 20 something, if you're a 30 something, you know the USC Trojans have been relevant for a long time, you can even go back to the 90s and the 80s, you look back if you're a 20 something, 30 something, you will remember the Matt Linert, the Richie Bush days, there's been a lot of the guys Lindell White, a lot of good players, you know wide receivers to the tee, I mean there's a lot of guys that play for USC as well, and then they added their little brother the UCLA Bruins, their home is the Rose Bowl, a lot of people don't know that, but the Rose Bowl gets played in USC Stadium, or UCLA, sorry I almost screwed that up, UCLA Bruins, their home stadiums are Rose Bowl, holds over 100,000 fans, definitely not a team that has been relevant, I should say the last 20 years, but it is what it is, there's still a team that travels well, there are a team that gets followed well, and these teams get the invitation to be bit 10 going into this year, and it makes the big 10 relevant, I would think the big 10 stacks up very well with the SEC, everybody knows the SEC is the cream of college football, and I think you take the best four or five six best SEC teams, and you go against the best four five six big 10 teams, and it could go three three, you know it could go four two, and it could go in either which way, and I really like how they added these teams, and also for the teams that have been the third fourth best teams in the big 10, aka the Penn State's, the Iowa's, and the Wisconsin's, it really made their butt-pucker just a little bit, adding Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA, because you know you're gonna have to battle, you're gonna have to battle to be the second, third, fourth, best big 10 team now, because now we're going into a 12 team playoff, the big 10 SEC could possibly put four, maybe even five teams into that tournament, of course, you know it all depends on scheduling, so on and so forth, but teams like I guess at Penn State, Iowa, and Wisconsin, they got something to prove, you know with Washington, USC, UCLA, and Oregon coming in, they have to have some sort of balls, they're gonna have to have some sort of goal, going hey this is my conference, I know we're not the class of the big 10, the class of the big 10 has always been Ohio State and Michigan, especially past five 10 years, but it's gonna be hard work between third and sixth, and like I said, it's gonna be very tough, I'm going to do Michigan, I'm going to do their schedule breakdown, I'm gonna go through their upcoming 2024 schedule, predict wins and losses, and it's only fitting to predict Washington, the team that they played in the national championship, just you know five months ago, the Washington Huskies, who just so happens, joined the big 10, but like I said, this conference is so much fun, I know I'm doing Michigan and Washington their schedule breakdowns, but I will absolutely do Penn State, for the likes of course, Howard Poole, my buddy, that dude, you know, a team that's just kind of in limbo, a team that you know has to perform, or things are going to have to change, but they'll just save that for another episode, and of course I'm going to do Ohio State, I'm going to break down their schedule at a later date, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do like I said today, I'm going to do Michigan and Washington, and then the next time I talk to you guys, I'm going to do the big 12 breakdown at conference, because this is another conference that just got bigger, I don't know if they necessarily can contend with the likes of the big 10 in SEC, but it's still going to be a conference that's going to be very good, and you're going to have to fight for a one or a two, and that conference, you know, sorry, the ACC and big 12, to get a spot in this 12 team playoff, because the SEC and big 10 are leading the way, and I would not be surprised if eight teams and that 12 team playoff are from the big 10 and the SEC, and it would not surprise me, nonetheless, but like I said, the big 10 comprises of 14 teams as of last year, you have Michigan, of course, the national champs of last year, Ohio State, Penn State, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Northwestern Wildcats, Wisconsin Badgers, Maryland, Terrapins, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, definitely an interesting team, might have to delve into their schedule later in the year, if I have time, the Illinois Fighting Alina, the Purdue Boilermakers, the Michigan State Spartans, and the Indiana Hoosiers, those are the 14 teams as of 2023 can have that big 10 logo on their chest, but like I said, 2024, 2025 changes everything, added four PAC 12 members, the Washington Huskies, the national runners up, you know, everybody knows that team by now, Michael Pinnick's Jr. Quarterback, you know, Romaine Dunezay, Jaylen Polk, Macmillan, what's his name, Kolp, the tight end, lost a lot of players, but moving to the big 10, Oregon, another team, lost Beau Nix, lost a lot of players in the draft, can they rebuild USC? A team that's a sleeping giant, I don't care, Williams just left that team, they lost a lot of players on their side, as well, but with Lincoln Riley, USC Trojans are not a team to be left on at all next year, and of course UCLA, probably the lesser team to join the big 10, it's probably going to have to contend with the likes of the Penn State, the Wisconsin's, the Iowa's, to be a fifth or sixth best team in that conference, and it's going to suck, like there's going to be a eight, nine, win big 10 team that is probably going to be on the outside looking in when this 12 team playoff comes out at the end of December, but like I said, it is what it is, that's what the way college football is changing it as a power for a conference, and it's, you know, it can grow, you know, it could be in 2026, the likes of a two-lane, you know, let's see here our liberty, so many teams can find a new home and just make their conference better, because these lesser conferences are definitely going to get the spotlight kind of taken away from them, because this power for conference is, it's, and there's only 12 spots, but like I said, that will save that for a later day, but let's get into the Michigan Wolverines 2020-24 season, and I will say, this is probably the first year that this has probably ever happened, the two teams that played for the national championship the year before are having new head coaches, I don't think that's ever happened, I'm going to just go out on a limb and say that, because you know, Michigan Wolverines, you think of Michigan, you think of John Harbaugh, and you think of Washington, you think of Pete DeBore, those two head coaches have moved on, Harbaugh moved on of course to coach the Los Angeles Chargers and the NFL ranks, honestly, it's a great move, you know, I think he already accomplished everything he needed accomplished in Ann Arbor, he needed a step up, he's still young, he's still relative, he can relate to players, and then you look on the other side for Pete DeBore, he took the Alabama job, and that's another team I will definitely be doing in the near future, going through their schedule, and in comes Jed Fish, the Arizona head coach who led Arizona, and to being one of the, you know, Cinderella's of college football last year, really got him this job at Washington, so that being said, we're going to talk about Michigan, the reigning defending national champs, as much as it hurts my heart to say that, you got to talk about Michigan, the big house, you know, one of the, it is the number one team in the NCAA with wins, like they did it last year, Sean Moore, income Sean Moore, how it goes Harbaugh, income's Moore, and I just heard a little bit of tidbit about the Michigan team this year, is that they are finally going to sell alcohol at the Michigan games this year, and I did not know that, I didn't know that Michigan didn't sell alcohol at their stadium, you know, it is a common occurrence for me, you know, being in Lubbock and going to Texas Tech, you know, games that alcohol is readily and easily available, hey, in Texas, and the end of August and early September, you have 90-something degree kickoffs, and you've been tailgating for a couple hours, you need some cold beer and you need to cool you down, you know what I'm saying, but didn't know that, that makes that home-filled advantage a little crazier, right, you know, it's like you get a 2.30 kickoff or a 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock kickoff, those people aren't going to be boozing for a while, you're going to get a LSU Death Valley-type environment, I mean, you really are, Michigan's big house has always been one of the hardest places to play in general, regardless if you play there at 11, 12, 2, 30, five, seven, you know, eight, whatever time it is, because that place holds over 100,000 fans, and let's just say 50,000 of them have had, you know, few Miller lights, that place gets a little more rowdy than you would like to expect, but like I said, Michigan, the reigning national defending champs have a tough schedule, I'm not, you know, sleeping on that at all, and actually that's what you want, you want the team that finishes really, really high in your conference that year to have a harder schedule, teams like Rutgers, Purdue, Michigan State, Indiana, they should have an easier schedule the next year, because that's what it's, that's what college football and pros is, I mean, I know Carolina Panthers, you know, there's a lot of teams, the Chicago Bears, and the NFL, you have a tough year, you know, you finish two and 15, you know, yada, yada, yada, you have an easier year next year, because you play teams about the same record as you, regardless of, you know, their division conference, but like I said, let's get into Michigan schedule. August 31st, like I said, I love this, the way the college football season is going into, I used to hate two buys in college football, I used to hate it, but starting a week earlier gives the opportunity for two buys, and like I've said before, in the 2023 schedule breakdowns, your buy really translates on how your schedule breaks down. Now going into this 2024, 2025 season, your buys really are important. Do you play somebody really, really good the next week after a buy, do you get two weeks to prepare for an Ohio State, do you get two weeks to prepare for an Alabama, so on and so forth, that's going to come in effect when I start breaking down these schedules. But like I said, sorry, August 31st, Michigan's opening game, they play Fresno State, and I really don't think that this is a snoozer. I don't think this is a walkthrough. I know they're playing at home, I know they're playing in the big house, but Fresno State is a formidable foe. I think Fresno State can show up. This could be a, you know, 17 to 10, you know, type halftime score. I'm not going to lie. Fresno State has put together a few good teams the past couple of years, but Michigan still wins that game for sure. September 7th, their real true season starts. They welcome in the Texas Longhorns to the big house. Definitely, I do believe college game day will be there. Big noon kickoff, yada, yada, yada. This will be definitely a game you need to watch these two perennial blue bloods going up against each other. But I will say Texas comes in a little bit more reassured. They have more underneath their feet than the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan Wolverines not only lost their coach, you know, they lost their starting quarterback, they lost their running back, they lost their starting wide receiver, they lost their starting linebacker. I know Texas lost a lot, but you have to give the benefit of the doubt to the Texas Longhorns because they just, you know, same coach, definitely a team that's going to come out with something to prove going into the SEC, leaving big 12th country, and going up against the National Champs. Texas is going to show up, and I do believe Texas is going to win that game September 7th. September 14th, they get a, you know, a recoup game, you know, they got humbled. Nobody knows, everybody knows, it's hard to repeat as natural champions, and you're going to, with a harder schedule the next year, it's hard, it's hard when you're the reigning champ. That bullseye is really, really hard, that bullseye is really, really big on your back. But September 14th, they welcome the Arkansas State Red Wolves. I don't have it next to me, but I'm just, like I said, I try to, as me being college football guy, the guy of, you know, NCAA, it's just a, a division two school, you know, it is what it is, you know, Michigan wins that game because, you know, you, you practice a little bit harder, you know, you bust your ass just a little bit more when you lose the week before, but September 14th, Arkansas State, that's a doubt. September 21st, you turn around, you host the USC Trojans. Definitely put a question, Martin, next to this. Do they perform well, you know, the week before against Arkansas State? Do they come out a little lackluster? These players really, you know, follow Sharon Moore's, you know, playbook, you know, everything that he wants to instill for these Michigan World of Rains. They're, they're going to struggle a little bit against USC. I know USC lost a lot as well. You know, they're not going to have Caleb Williams under center, but Lincoln Riley is going to show up in the big house and he is going to put up some points. USC is just one of those teams that they don't rebuild, they reload, but I do believe the home field advantage, Michigan kind of, you know, digging deep, you know, finding their roots, you know, saying, hey, we're the national defending champ, so they're going to win that game September 21st against USC. September 28th, they welcome in Minnesota, the Golden Gophers, definitely another team that is, you know, middle of the pack, maybe bottom of the pack. You put Minnesota in the ACC, you know, maybe the big 12, because they contend, maybe, but they can't hang with the depth chart, with just the overall good players that Michigan has, so Michigan wins that game September 28th against Minnesota. Then they turn around. October 5th, it's the national championship rematch. Not only that, Michigan has to travel to Washington to play the Huskies. Like I said, I'm going to talk about the Huskies just a little bit later. This is going to be a tough game just as much as Michigan has a home field advantage, so it is Washington. That thin mountain air is going to be a problem for Washington. I know Jed Fish who's stepping in first year head coach, two first year head coaches going up against each other man. I've got to give, all right, I'm going to give it to Michigan. I do believe that they recruited well. They're going to have that, the goal, they're going to have the balls to say, hey, we're one of the best teams in the country, you know, I learned the big 12, big 10, sorry, and they're going to be Washington, October 5th, October 12th, great buy. You look at it, they play Texas, USC and Washington and the span of five weeks that buy cannot come any sooner. Great buy. October 19th is their next game. They take a road trip to Champaign to play the Illinois Fighting Alignite. That is just another team, a bottom dweller. Yes, did they produce NFL players? Yes, can they, you know, get an upset? You know, I put a t-next to this after a buy, you know, absolutely. But that buy week is going to straighten out this Michigan team because they know, they know you can have two wins or two losses and hopefully make a playoff because there might be 11 teams with only one or two losses and it's going to come down to scheduling. But Illinois is a formidable foe, could be a tight game, but Illinois wins. October 26th, they welcome in the Michigan State Spartans, another team that's just my middle dweller. I mean, they really are and they reel it off absolutely, but they're not playing in East Lansing. They're playing in the big house, the Michigan Wolverines win that game, October 26th, against Michigan State. November 2nd, another hard game. They welcome in the Oregon Ducks. The Oregon Ducks are going to come in there with a axe to grind. They're going to come in and as a team that can play. They have a great coach at Oregon. It's definitely a team that I'm going to break down, you know, at a later date. The Oregon Ducks are not going to just bow down to the likes of Michigan and Ohio State, but Michigan wins that game November 2nd. November 9th, they go to Indiana to play the Hoosiers, another get right game, even if they lose to Oregon a week before they get this game easily. November 16th, another great buy, another goodbye. Lick your wounds, even if you have two losses, you're not losing anymore. November 23rd, their next game. They welcome in Northwestern, the Wildcats, another team that is just towards the bottom, just kind of can't hang. They win, they can start the Western. Last game of the season, everybody knows it is the game, but they have to go to the horseshoe. And I do believe I predicted Ohio State to make it to at least the final four, final two in the comfortable playoff this year. I mean, they have so much to prove they have an easier schedule than I would like to admit, but going to the Buckeye state to play the Ohio State Buckeyes in the horseshoe, they will lose that game that gets them 10 and 2 with a possibility at getting into the playoff. All right, Michigan 10 and 2, this could be a Michigan team that kind of falls off, you know, the state planes, you know, they kind of fall off the map a little bit. You look at Fresno State, there's no walkover, you have Texas, you have USC going to Washington, Oregon, and Ohio State. This could be a team that only wins six or seven games and you throw in, you know, at Illinois, you know, like I said, that's a trap game. Michigan could lose three or four games this year. You know, I say, I will safely say anybody in even the SEC that loses three games this year is not going to make the college football playoff. I can safely say that, but Michigan, I think Sharon Moore was the right higher. I know I am a closet, Ohio State fan. I love my Buckeyes, but Michigan recruits well, they coach well. This is a team that's going to come out and, you know, really play, but like I said, their schedule is very tough. I remember the 2023 season just last year, probably about this time of last year, predicting Michigan's, you know, schedule and it was kind of a cupcake, you know, they had a lot of really good scheduling things to where, you know, they could reel off a whole bunch of games in a row and, you know, solidify a spot against Ohio State at the end of the year for a chance of the Big Ten Championship. And that's exactly what they did, but this year is so hard. USC is going to come in with an axe a grind. Like I said, going to Washington, you have the Longhorns, who a team that, you know, I absolutely loathe, you know, L-O-A-T-E. I hope I spoke that, right? You know, I hate the Texas Longhorns, absolutely, but the Texas Longhorns are going to be good. And they're going to have more going for them than the Michigan Wolverines at the time on September 7th. So like I said, you know, I hate to say a double J. I know you're an avid listener, but you just won the National Championship, man, last year. I mean, there has to be a fall from Grace, but I'm doing you justice, you know, ten and two is a good year. That is the mean year six bowl. Yeah, maybe a playoff appearance, but don't be surprised if there's just a little hiccup, you know, if there's a little step back for the Michigan Wolverines going in next year, because like I said with the addition of Washington, Oregon, and USC, and you still have the likes of Ohio State, teams like Iowa and Wisconsin, who you don't play, which is actually really beneficial to you guys, don't be surprised if Michigan kind of takes a step back. But like I said, I'm predicting you guys to go ten into a still a crit year. When you think about it, you know, 14, 15 and 0 last year, and you turn around and have a 10 win season with a brand new head coach, that is a win. But let's go to the National Runners up. Sorry, let me take a drink. Sorry. I talked too much and then my, you know, my voice gets a little cracky and, you know, so on and so forth. But let's talk about the National Runners up, right? The team that just played Michigan in the National Championship last year, the Washington Huskies, a conference foe now, you know, it's not a team that, you know, you see in the non-conference schedule, if you get lucky every 10 years, and that's another thing that I, you know, I will talk about it at a certain point when I talk about college football. You know, you could play a really good non-conference team. And let's say Texas Tech goes to Bryant Denny Stadium to play Alabama in 2026. Alabama might not get to come to loving Texas to play my Texas Tech Red Raiders to 2030, 2032. You know, it really depends on scheduling just so, you know, it's just, you know, we'll talk about that at a different time. But like I said, we're talking about Washington, definitely a team that is losing a lot, another team that are breaking another, a new head coach. Jetfish, I think the guy steps in day one, and they're going to have a good year as well. The X Arizona Wildcats team, a team that was a darling of the Pac-12 last year, a team that probably needed a few extra games to really get their feet underneath them. And a team that Arizona is going into the Big 12 this year, that's probably going to miss Jetfish. You know, it is what it is. But like I said, damn, sorry guys. All right, here we go. August 31st, like I said, start of the season for the Washington Huskies. They welcome in the Weber State some things. I want to say the Bobcats, Wildcats, something along those lines, a division tool school, a team that's probably going to get 200, $300,000 to come to Huskies Stadium to lose. Easy win for the Washington Huskies. August 31st against Weber State. September 7th, they welcome in Eastern Michigan. Yet again, another division tool school, FCS, so to speak, easy win right there. Season starts September 14th. They kept this rivalry game intact. I love that about the scheduling in the Big 10 and the X Pac-12. Wazoo goes in to Washington Stadium. The Apple Cup is one of the best rivalry games there is. And lucky for us, we get it in September. Wazoo gets up. I know Wazoo has kind of been lackluster since Mike Leach left big ups to that Wazoo fan. That was a big fan of the football function the past year or so. I can't remember your name. I'm so sorry. I hope you're still listening. I hope you don't hate me. But Wazoo is a formidable foe. Wazoo is going to show up at Washington. It's a, you know, a cross-state rival. It's going to be a tight game, but Washington wins that game close. If the spread is over 17, I would take Wazoo with the points, just so you know. Like I said, this is me. And I'm talking about something that's happening in September. Like I said, but close win for Washington against their rival, because like I've said before in a lot of shows that I've said before, you guys that I've recorded when a rivalry game happens, you throw out records. A two and 19 can beat a nine and two team in a given day. But like I said, Washington wins that game. September 21st is their first two tests. It's their first conference game of the year. They welcome in Northwestern. What a better team to bring into your house to start your inaugural year in the Big Ten, the Northwestern Wildcats. I hate to crap on the Northwestern Wildcats. Definitely was a team that was kind of, you know, doing their thing a couple years ago until their coach. If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong, but got fired. I want to say, you know, 2022, 2023. But definitely a team that just, you know, depth chart, you know, head to head will lose to the Washington Huskies, put some at four and oh, after September 21st. September 28th, take a trip to Rutgers that I put a T right next to this game. Now you're saying, see him, the Washington Huskies going to Rutgers to play the Scarlet Night, it's a team that's kind of like a Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, a team that's kind of in the middle towards the bottom of the barrel. Washington and Rutgers are a long ways away from each other. It's almost opposite side of the country. Rutgers, if I'm not mistaken, is in the state of New York. Washington is still in that state up there in the northwest. That's a long trek that could spell trouble for these Washington Huskies. Like I said, this is a trap game. This Washington Huskies team could lose to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights right here, September 28th. So don't be mistaken if Rutgers pulls off the upset right here. But I'm going to say Washington wins close September 28th at Rutgers. October 5th, they welcome in Michigan. Like I said, I just did Michigan and I predicted Michigan to go to Washington. And, you know, hey, go to an old against Washington, you know, two years in a row, national championship last year. And then you get them, you know, in your conference schedule, the next year, what better way to kind of put your foot on somebody's neck and say, hey, welcome to my conference. This is my conference. I won the national championship last year. And you're playing us again. You're not going to instill your revenge. So it is what it is. Washington wins that game. I don't know. Sorry. He loses that game. Oh, shit. Sorry. I totally messed that up. Yeah. Washington loses to Michigan that game. October 12th, they go to Iowa. Yet again, another team kind of in the middle kind of is, you know, kind of pissed off kind of a little downtrodden that a team teams like USC Washington and Oregon, you know, joined their conference there, you know, hey, we were the third, second, third, fourth best team in this conference. Now, Penn State, the Iowa, the Wisconsin's really have to fight to be, you know, formidable in this conference. But I put a track game, but they lose the week before to Michigan. They come out. Yeah, they go to Iowa. Iowa doesn't have the offense. Like, yeah, they have a great defense. It's a great home field advantage. Hope you guys listened to some of my great rivalries. What I talked about how Iowa has the Iowa wave, the Kinnick wave. If you do not know what the Kinnick wave is, please look that up. It's a beautiful tradition they do after first quarter. I love it to death, but Iowa just can't hang with the likes of Washington that day on October 12th. October 19th, their first buy actually is kind of tough. You know, I know they haven't really had the artist schedule. Their first, you know, six, seven games of the year. But after playing Michigan and Iowa two weeks in a row, maybe even at Rutgers the week before Michigan, that buy week should be very good for these Washington Huskies on the 19th of October. October 26th, take a road trip to the huger state to play Indiana. That is a win. You know, anytime after a buy, especially a really good team, you have two weeks to prepare for a team. This could be, you know, USC right here. This could be an Oregon right here. You get two weeks to prepare for a team. More than likely you come out with a win. Indiana is not the lighter, so they lose October 26th to these Washington Huskies. November 2nd, they welcome in the USC Trojans. You know, a Pac-12 foe, a team that they definitely fought with over the past, you know, 10, 15, 20, 25 years. A team that they're very, very familiar with, and then actually a team that's not too far from each other. I think USC kind of takes a step back. But since Washington's playing at home, I do believe they beat the USC Trojans November 2nd. November 9th, take a trip to Penn State to play the Nittany Lions. Yet again, another team just kind of stuck in the middle, you know, going to have to perform. I cannot wait to break down the Penn State, you know, schedule because their schedule is very, very tough. But Penn State gets the win. November 9th, that could be the Whiteout game. You never know what Penn State's going to do with their schedule, and they do the Whiteout games for really, really big games, and that could be it. It could be the Ohio State game the week before. But like I said, it is what it is. Washington gets their second loss of the year, November 9th, at Penn State and Happy Valley. November 16th, they welcome in UCLA. It's almost perfect. It's almost biblical. It's almost, you know, in the script. You lose the week before. You prepare a little bit harder. Food tastes a little bit better. The workouts are just a little bit harder. UCLA gets beat. November 16th by the Washington Huskies that week. November 23rd is their last buy of the season. Get the liqueur wounds, kind of nurse, you know, your injuries, so on and so forth. November 30th, though, they take a trip to Oregon to play the Ducks. Yet again, another team that has kind of been a thorn in their side. I know Washington went to, and oh, if I'm not mistaken, last year, the 20, 20, 30, 20, 24 season, beating them in the, you know, conference matchup and then beating them in the big Pac-12 championship game. I hate to say it, but you know, playing at the Aatsun Zoo has to mean something that is an L right there for the Washington Huskies that puts them at nine and three. I'm going to say C, F, P, and put a zero, you know, and cross it out. That's a no, that's an 86. If you're a cook, you kind of know what the word 86 means. You kind of just X that out. Three losses is not going to get you in the college football playoff, especially a strong is the big 10 is the SEC is going to be this year. Maybe the ACC, big 12, and then you never know what that 12 seed in the playoff. They might throw in a JMU, a Liberty 2 lane from the state of Wyoming. You never know, put in a 12 and 0, you know, non-power five team just to do it. And I really kind of hope they do. I'd rather have a 12 and 0 JMU, like I said, Fresno State Wyoming Liberty 2 lane. I'd rather have them be the 12 seed. Nine and three, you know, big 10 team or a nine and three ACC team, a nine and three big 12 team. I hate it. You know, I am a big 12 guy, big, you know, big 12 fan, but I'd much rather see a team that, you know, has, you know, probably had a lesser schedule and maybe reeled off a good conference, non-conference win that year, going to a harder place to play at a winning and then just kind of reeling off their conference. It is what it is, but I want to see a 12 seed be a Mountain West conference guy, a South, you know, a send-belt team, a AAC team, you know, a Mac team, so on and so forth. I totally don't rock it. Just throwing a team out there, a team that isn't a non-power five, a greater five school, they go 12 no, why not? Put them in at the 12th. You know, they're going to do the, if I'm not mistaken, one and two gets a buy and then, you know, 12th place three, yadda yadda yadda, so on and so forth. But like I said, Michigan, the reigning national champs go 10 and two of the question mark. 10 and two might get you a 10 seed, might get you 11, might, you might get stuck at a 13, but the Washington Huskies, I think with as much as they lost, can be harder. I know it's going to be hard for both of these schools. Both of these schools could be, only have seven wins. Mine only have six, you never know with college football, but both of these schedules, very, very tough. Washington can reel off easily for first five, but that could hurt Washington, you know, hosting Michigan, October 5th, and then going to Iowa, the next week, playing USC in three weeks, Penn State and Oregon, all at the back end of their schedule, injuries come into effect, you know, a lot of things come into effect with these schedules. It's, sometimes it's not who you play, it's when you play them. So, I hope you guys enjoyed that. Like I said, Michigan goes 10 and two, Washington goes nine and three, still good years, especially for two teams that just getting no contended and played for a national championship. Of course, Michigan winning it, but that's it. That's it for me, guys. Yet again, coming up on another hour, I'm so sorry, guys. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you like my banter. I hope you like my tangents, my opt to script, ad lib, improvisational skills, every once in a while, because I don't, like I said, I have my script right in front of me. And like I said, I do these schedules live. I don't do this preemptively. I have it right in front of me, and I think about it. I have everything that I kind of want to put into it. And then I just do it live. Like I said, with the draft stuff, mock draft that I did, you know, for the draft season, I do it all live. I hope you guys understand that. And there's a lot that goes into this stuff. Sorry, guys. Oh, I got the burps. But hope you guys enjoyed it. But like I said, this is not the last time I am going to talk about the big 10. I will definitely do Penn State for the sake of my boy, Howard Pull, definitely a team. I cannot. I don't want to indulge too much that I'm going to talk about when I talk about the Penn State, New Lions, but this is a make or break year to be perfectly honest for the New Lions. Big changes could be in effect for Penn State. This could be a year that Penn State finally, you know, goes over the hump and why not when the league is so much more stronger than it was last year. Definitely going to do the Ohio State Buckeyes, my, you know, my Buckeyes, my second favorite team. Definitely going to do Oregon, the Ducks, USC Trojans. I might do Wisconsin and Iowa, not real sure yet. We'll see how the summer goes. Next time I talk to you guys, I will do the Big 12. Like I said, I've been doing this alphabetically order. It goes alphabetically and numerically, you know, ACC Big 10, Big 12. It is what it is. I can't wait to do that. That is definitely my conference. My team's in that. Definitely not going to predict my Texas Tech Regrators to win the conference because I am not falling for that should again. I am not drinking the Kool-Aid this year, but I will definitely do a whole lot of Big 12 schools as well. What I will do is next week I will do the Big 12. A team that played for the Big 12 championship last year, you know, an Oklahoma State, maybe Kansas State. Utah is a new member of the Big 12 as well. Arizona is a new team as well. Definitely going to be a conference that, yeah, you lose the likes of Texas and Oklahoma, but you know, it gets a little, you get a lot of more B average teams. Yeah, you're not going to get two teams in the college football playoff, but you know, you win the Big 12, you're going to get a spot in the college football playoff, absolutely. So big shout out to you guys. Thank you guys so much. I hope you enjoyed it. Because like I said, this is going to come at you guys at least once a week. Whenever Mike drops it, you know, he does it at his own discretion, guys. Yeah, there's, there's, you got the Grimery for you got what they're going to do with the immortals with, you know, offseason outlook. They're doing what they need to do. And my show just gets put out whenever Mike feels like it. It doesn't hurt my feelings. You know, it could be nine days between the last show and the show. You know, it is what it is. I'm, and I just want to put out quality stuff for you guys that are college football fans, because like I said before in the ACC, you know, talk that I did last week, this freaking year of college football is huge. You know, this and then we were bringing, we're getting another NCAA football game. That's another thing. It's on my script right here and I'm looking at it. And I didn't talk about it. We're getting a college football game back. Whether you have, whether you're an Xbox guy, whether you're a PlayStation guy, we're getting a college football game back, man. We're owed to glory. Build a dynasty. You're going to be able to make your own uniforms. Like the teaser just dropped not too long ago in it. I'm not going to lie, man. Your boy is rock hard. I was so excited for that, man. I cannot wait. Sad part about it is I'm going to have to get a new console. Not like I have an Xbox one. I'm a little far back, but I'm not really a gamer, though, either. But NCAA will make me get a new console, have to cough up a little bit of dough. But it is what it is. And I will definitely be playing that in CAA. No, it's not in CAA anymore. Sorry. I'm an old head. I'm showing my age a little bit. But like I said, I've been playing the NCAA football game since the 2000s, man. I used to go to Hastings Best Buy, whatever place that you would get video games. And I would buy the new NCAA. It always came out in July. And I'd play it religiously. Hell, I still play it to this date. You know, you had Michael Crabtree on the cover of what Jared Zabranzky, like I said, in '08. Tim Tebow, you had Mark Ingram, was on the cover of one. Robert Griffin was on the cover in another. There are so many good cover athletes. Reggie Bush, that was the NCAA 403. I can't really remember the top of my head. But I played him religiously, and I cannot wait to do it again. Can't wait to have Texas Tech win the National Championship. And it's a fun thing to do. So I hope you guys get that game when it comes out. And you know, getting contact with Mike. And maybe, you know, it depends on if there's a lot of people that are going to get this game and they're on PlayStation. I might have to get a PlayStation 5, you know, if there's a lot of Xbox people out there, I might get the, you know, Series X and be able to play with you guys online. And I would love to do that as well. So thank you guys so much for listening. I will be back soon. Like I said, I will definitely be doing Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, USC, maybe Iowa, Wisconsin at a later date. But I will be talking about the Big Ten eventually later in the summer because this is going to be in long summer. I know it's a long summer, but it's a lot closer than you think. May is almost over. We're getting into June and July. It is the dog day of the summer. I absolutely get it. But I will have quality stuff for you guys. I'm going to go back to the ACC. Maybe talk about the likes of a North Carolina. Maybe talk about the NC State Wolfpack. Like I said, these Big Ten teams definitely going to be breaking down their schedule as well. And like I said with the last show, it all co-exists with each other. If, you know, Washington plays Clemson and I have Washington playing Clemson and losing, it affects Clemson's schedule as well. I know that's not what happened, but it all co-exists. And then right when the season's about to start, I'm going to do what I did last year. Heisman Front Runners. Heisman Dark Horses. Guys to look out for. I know everybody knows the Donovan Edwards and the Queen Ewers, the Shudurr Sanders, Carson Bex. You know, guys off the top of my head. The Jackson Darts, the Trayvon Henderson, the Queen Young Jutkins. There's a lot of just dark horse guys. Jan and Mill Row. A lot of guys that are going to be talked about. Heisman, I'm going to talk about them. But I'm also going to give you guys that are, you know, might play for Missouri. You know, might play for a Baylor. Might play for a North Carolina. Like I said, I'm going to give you the middle tier guys too. Maybe even give you the quarterback of Tulane. Quarterback for JMU. You never know. I'm going to give you guys some dark horses. Maybe what's his name? Guy that just transferred to my Ami. Hang, I can't think of his name. But like I said, I don't have that wrote down. Like I said, all these names was just like the top of my head. But Kim Ward. Sorry. Kim Ward is the new quarterback for the hurricanes. Could be what the hurricanes need to to throw a Clemson and a floor state. Like I said, it's going to be a fun year. I'm going to give you dark horses. I'm going to give you some guys that are favorites and give you some long shots. Definitely going to do that before the season starts. And then I'm going to talk about the non-power force. I'm going to give you some long shots. I'm going to talk about the JMU's. I'm going to talk about the Tulane's. I'm going to talk about the Fresno State's, the Wyoming's, the Liberty's. A team that, you know, if there is a non-power for team making the playoff, it could be one of these schools. Like I said, I want to touch on all of college football. I do not just want to talk about the Blue Bloods, the Texas's and the Ohio State's and the Michigan's and the, you know, the Alabama's and Georgia's and, you know, USC's. I kind of want to shed a little light on the little brothers. You know, the Texas A&M's, Texas Tech's, you know, the NC State's, so on and so forth. The South Carolina's, you know, it is what it is. And I would love to talk more about that. But like I said, there's over 100 in some schools. I can't do every single one of them. But I want to get you guys ready for the college football season. That is the 2024, 2025 season, you know, powerful. You know, there's 18 teams in some of these conferences. It's going to be a slug out, drag out fight in some of these conferences. Don't be surprised if, you know, the SEC only has one undefeated team at the end of the year. Don't be surprised if the Big Ten has only one undefeated team at the end of the year. They're going to beat each other up and it's going to be great for the state of college football because college football is only getting better. And I love college football. I love my NFL. I love it. But college football is my one true love. Because what are their day on Saturday that you can watch college football from 10, 11 o'clock in the morning all the way until Sunday morning? I mean, you can watch 12, 14 games and a day. And just beyond regular TV, you don't even have to switch over to a streaming service or, you know, so on and so forth. I love college football. So I hope you guys enjoyed it, man. I will talk to you guys soon and be talking about the big 12 big shutouts all the countries. Not going to name you guys. I'm sorry. There's just so many. If you're outside of the United States of America, just know cousin Mike loves you to death. I cannot thank you enough. Just keep supporting us. Please promote us.

You know, before you know it, the, you know, pro games starting. So hope you guys enjoyed it. Like I said, get the Patreon app. I cannot emphasize this enough. If there's one person that promotes the Patreon app besides my creator, it is me. Because I put out long fucking episodes. And I know, I hope you guys don't listen to my show. And it's 50, 60 minutes. You just say, man, and it's just too much seeing for me. I hope it's the opposite. I hope you want to listen to me as much as you possibly can because I love doing this. And it's not because I love to talk. It's because it's just I want to get this stuff out. And like I said, I have a script and I put things out and have things on a piece of paper, but I like to improvise. I like to get stuff off my chest. Sometimes I'm like the dog and a man squirrel. You know, I think it's something and I want to talk about it because I don't have it real down. You know, it is what it is. Like I said, I want to give you guys everything I possibly can out on one, you know, platform and get the Patreon app. You know, get cousin Mike, you know, Noah adds unfiltered, unedited, unapologetic man. There's what else could you possibly ask for, right? Follow us on our social media, this football function to win on Instagram, football function on Facebook. We are on over 10 different platforms. Google, Apple, Patreon, Spotify, Amazon. There's so many. I know Mike's going to probably do that in the next show and just put out because like I said, big news, football function's been picked up on more networks. Like there are more ways to listen to the football function, but get the Patreon app if you want to get an un-no ads, no ads. Don't listen to cousin Mike with ads, man, because it sucks. I'm talking about the Michigan Wolverines and then you hear an ad about, you know, cancer research, you know, God bless them, but you know, it could be about a casino app or candy crush. Hell, if I know, you don't want to hear of that, man, pay that dollar a month and get cousin Mike unedited, unfiltered, unapologetic, no ads. Like I said, as God intended, I'm rambling. Big shoutouts, man, like I said to Mike Ritter. Terry Minifield, those dudes doing their think, goose, double J, that boy, Graham Riffer doing his thing with that. He's picked up the slack where we, you know, left off, you know, he's doing his thing with his rivalry, you know, things he's, he does his thing, man. So please listen to him. If you want like a different aspect, you want a different voice to listen to, listen to the dude across the pond, man, he's got some pretty good stuff. I've listened to quite a few of his episodes. A guy does his thing and once the season starts, we're going to get goose back doing prime time. Graham's going to do the international games. Howard Poole is going to contribute at some point in time. I hope to get on, you know, some NFL week, you know, recap episodes at some point in time. So I hope you do that. I hope to do, you know, at some point in time, some collab episodes for college football. But like I said, time and you know, all this stuff comes in effect because like I said, it's summer or spring going into summer and you know, things change. You know, a lot of things can happen between now and there. So without further ado, like I said, Mike Ritter, Terry Minifil, Goose, Grim Riffer, Andy Lefan, my dude. I love my cousin to death. I appreciate him so much. Seanal, Sean's more of my other cousin, Andy's brother, you know, diehard Cowboys fan. He's a diehard listener. He always texts me after you listen to episodes. Bill, Richie, Drew, Cali, there's just so many people to think, man, you know, KG, all the regular guys that listen all the time, Dietrich Heil, DJ fucking Kuzmo, Kevin Watson, all you guys, man, I cannot think enough. Like I said, I don't have my people right in front of me, but I love you guys to death, man. I appreciate you guys. And of course, hardcore. Okay. So I got, I got your pen, stating lines coming up so then, buddy, don't worry. But like I said, I've been texting you. I text you all the time. It's not like we're not in contact with each other. But like I said, I've been rambling on too far, man, promoting the Patreon, social media. Okay, that's all of it. I gave them all love, you know, family and friends. Like I said, be good to one another. It is spring and it's summer be on your best behavior. Have fun. And you know, at the same time, you just enjoy it right now. As I know, it's dead season. Watch the NBA playoffs, watch the NHL playoffs. You know, if you're not a Celtics fan, you know, root for my Mavericks, you know, root for my stars. Yeah, I would greatly appreciate that. But you know, if you're a Rangers fan or a Panthers fan or an Edmonton Euler fan, or a Minnesota, a Timberwolves fan, I will look down at you at all. This is a great time to be a sports fan. So watch UFL. Like I said, just appreciate this now because once it starts getting into August, it is time to go full fledged, full steam ahead into the season. And it's full fledged just hit, you know, like I said, and then it next, you know, seems over and it's back in the draft and it's back in the off-season. So thank you guys so much for coming out. You know, say it enough. Know who you are. Know who you serve. Know where you're going. Know what you're going to get to your guys. That's all I can ever ask. Be good people. You know, uh, you never know what people are going through. Be good people. That's all I can ever ask for. Man, be good monkeys. I would love you because of my collection guys so much. Take care. Be good people. Like I said, I love you to death. God, unless take care. Go Mavericks. Go Stars. [BLANK_AUDIO]
