Video sucks. Do people really let video's run whenever they pop up? With audio? I have my wife sharing the living room as I read this, with the TV on. Running video/audio doesn't work. I was hoping there would be a writeup...
October 24th, 2018 at 10:10 PM ^
Rich Eisen hosts a radio show, so I'm not sure what you were expecting.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
A summary? Like every other board topic posted here (that isn’t negged into Bolivia)?
October 24th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Here's an idea: Watch it on silent with closed captioning on. There. It's like I transcribed it for you.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
Except it then takes 15 minutes to read. And, for what it’s worth, I didn’t say transcription, but rather summary. Not the same thing.
The standard practice here is to do just what he asked for (albeit not in the way that he asked) and summarize the contents. If you disagree, consider that the coaches and player pressers are transcribed here, by the actual contributors to the site, not posted as videos. And almost every time an audio or video link is posted as a board topic it includes a summary/write up. What was asked was NOT unreasonable.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:41 PM ^
Transcribed. on the front page. by people being paid to do so.
Summary: They both like Michigan.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:43 PM ^
Again, I didn’t say transcription (and I’m absolutely willing to bet that isn’t what the guy was asking for).
October 24th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
when I snap my fingers you're going to clean my gutters
October 24th, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
That made me laugh out loud, for real. Well played
October 25th, 2018 at 10:44 AM ^
Now make me a frittata
October 24th, 2018 at 11:25 PM ^
Just do what every other red blooded male in America does when sharing the TV with wifey, head to the crapper for a few minutes and watch the video at your leisure on the throne. Maybe play a video game while you're in there
October 25th, 2018 at 12:37 AM ^
Sorry you can’t read for 15 minutes.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:52 AM ^
You do realize that the point was not reading for fifteen minutes, but rather taking fifteen minutes to read something that should take five minutes to read, right? Beyond obvious point: it takes longer to read something that you have to wait for the closed captions to come up on, as the words are spoken, than it would if you were reading it as intact text.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
I'll transcribe it just for you next time.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
I realize it’s easy to pile on the guy, but he didn’t ask for a transcription.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
so turn on captions.
The whole being in the same room with someone with a tv on for group entertainment while you are on a phone/computer doing something completely different makes less sense to me than questioning video vs text.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
100% agree on this. Video v. Text is a fine distinction to make (and one based on preference), so that would have been a far more legitimate ask.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:59 AM ^
....and how many minutes of your life have you wasted complaining about this transgression rather that watching the video, more than 15. Just saying.
October 25th, 2018 at 7:02 AM ^
I’m not sure I would say “wasted” if it makes a point. That said, it’s easier to type out some sentences between doing other things than sitting and watching fifteen minutes straight of something. I do realize it may sound absurd to some, but for many the idea of sitting and watching something that long in a single block, without pre-allocation of that time, isn’t a thing that happens in life anymore. At fifteen minutes it clocks in just a bit shorter than a thirty minute sitcom without commercials (or watching it on a DVR), and there is plenty out there about how much viewing habits of even those is down...
October 24th, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
No shit. I sure do wish Apple would invent something I could put in or over my ears so I didn’t have to bother other people with what I’m listening to. Also, how lazy can people possibly be to not transcribe the video conversation as to not not bother your wife? I mean, whatever happened to common courtesy? Rude
October 25th, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
MY WIFE
October 25th, 2018 at 8:11 AM ^
So much angst! Not sure why this triggered so many people, but whatever. Maybe I'm just one of the few people left that doesn't headphone all day long for the 2 minute videos from CNN or Fox (or whatever your news preference is) to get filled in on the world?
I listened to it this morning while driving into work.
Summary: Klatt is a good guest, loved that whole scene between M and MSU - said it was what college football is all about, and the pro game is not as fun. Said Michigan is the best team in the B1G and that OSU has holes. Also said he likes only conference champs for a 4-team playoff, 8 teams would be too much.
October 25th, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
Triggered and angst? Dude you got triggered because a post wasn't specifically designed to perfectly fit your current situation.
You could read captions.....waaaah but I don't wanna
You could use head phones....waaah I'm not some zombie millennial
Sounds like wifey rules with an iron fist and you want the world to adjust accordingly for your comfort
October 25th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
Settle down, Wally, you're stressing yourself out over nothing. Of course I want the world to change for my comfort - so does everybody! Duh!! But jeez, I asked a couple of questions, and said this: "I was hoping there would be a writeup..."
Sorry that you (and some others) got so worked up about that - but you read what you wanted to read, not what was actually written. Your personal attack is pretty sad...
October 25th, 2018 at 10:30 AM ^
I agree that conference champs only for the playoffs. Alabama last year and OSU the year before were complete jokes.
October 26th, 2018 at 6:07 AM ^
Thank you for the summary. That probably sounds sarcastic, given this thread, but I’m not going to watch this for 15 minutes.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^

Klatt and Cowherd were glowing about Michigan today as well.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:13 PM ^
Klatt referenced the Higdon phantom holding penalty again during the MSU podcast. Is there any chance we get him for the OSU game? Would love to have someone who will actually call it out if OSU ends up with two penalties for four yards again.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:30 PM ^
The ohio st game is on Fox, so most likely Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will be the announcers. I'm a huge Klatt fan. The guy straight up loves him some Michigan!
October 24th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
I'm curious if Fox last Saturday had all those heavy leaned in-game promos of MSU and highlighting LJ Scott's career stats and their "5 star heart" players was to try and balance out that it is known that Klatt (and Gus Johnson for that matter to extent) seeming to like Michigan, especially with Klatt on the Herd earlier in the week pumping up Michigan.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:16 AM ^
Good. For years we had to put up with pro-OSU Muss and an inevitable ex-OSU guy in the booth all over OSU's knob.
Our turn now.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:40 PM ^
It’s actually a high probability since The Game is airing on Fox at noon. It’s possibkenwell get Gus/Klatt again.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
It's almost certain to be the most high profile game Fox has the rights to that weekend so Gus and Klatt are the most likely announcers.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
Clearly not married.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^
Joel Klatt is the best national college football guy by far. I love Gus on pbp too.
October 24th, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
This a great segment from 2 absolute professionals. Intelligent, Warm, Passionate, Funny, most of which would be lost by reading a transcription or summary of any kind,
October 24th, 2018 at 11:20 PM ^
Very true on all accounts. You know what a summary does more effectively than its lack thereof, though? Make someone actually want to allocate fifteen minutes to listening to it (rather than the myriad of other things that need reading or listening to).
I honestly don’t get why that is an unreasonable ask when pretty much every other post here of its type includes that, and if it doesn’t is extensively criticized.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
Did you watch the video?
It's 15 min long and pretty fast paced. Thats what, 20-30 pages of text. The summary could be 3-4 words or 3-4 fucking paragraphs.
Summarize? Sure just like the tile says, it's Joel Klatt . . . talking to Rich Eisen. They talk about . . . wait for it. . . . Michigan . . . Meyer . . . .CFP . . . . . & More.
Thats a pretty exact summary without getting into the species of every topic and each individual's take on each topic.
You know what makes someone want to watch a video even more than a summary?
A RECOMMENDATION to watch it!

October 24th, 2018 at 11:07 PM ^
This was fantastic. And I'm married with eight kids--happy about both--since that apparently matters, though I can't figure out why.
October 24th, 2018 at 11:11 PM ^
8 kids? The fucking fuck?
October 24th, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
Yep, that's pretty much how they happen. Just like they taught you in school.
October 25th, 2018 at 12:00 AM ^
Laughed out loud at this and woke up my newborn. Wife is not happy. That said, I can attest to the whole fucking fuck results in children theory
October 25th, 2018 at 7:15 AM ^
like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior
so are the children of one's youth
happy is the man whose quiver is full
he shall not be afraid, but shall speak with the enemies at the gate
October 25th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
The enemies at his gate work the cash register at Krogers.
October 25th, 2018 at 11:43 AM ^
thats why we live on a farm. we're in nearly the identical boat as JHumich, but we raise and process our own beef, chicken, lamb, eggs, some crops and fruit, etc. last cattle harvest is in 5 days.
October 25th, 2018 at 11:28 AM ^
Love that text, XM, thank you! Ps 128 too--joy that too few know.
I'm so thankful for my children. They are an amazing group of joyful, diligent, enthusiastic, respectful people. Humble, love to serve, love to laugh. Whatever else I might have done with my life could never be compared to what will come from the eight of them and the families that come from them.
