Another late OTRH podcast. I’ll tell you what, that road trip took A LOT out of me. I just didn’t have it in me to stay up late editing audio until last night. But the good news is that it was indeed recorded on the way home, right after my Griswaldish trip to the Grand Canyon. The good news is it is another long one.
Here are the list of quotes at the end of the podcast from the post-game interviews:

Sorry this is so late (catch a re-occurring theme here?) with the OTRH podcast. While it was recorded right after the game, the trip to Disneyland and the ensuing backup at work when I returned had me scrambling to find time to edit it all together. But it’s done before the WSU game, so I’m not THAT late.
Here are the list of quotes at the end of the podcast from Tedford and Riley:
Tedford on Kevin Riley’s performance
Tedford on the pros to take away from the game
Tedford on rotating players for the heat
Tedford on SydQuan Thompson’s injury

Riley on the 1st drive of the game
Riley on confidence gained from early success
Riley on his block downfield on Best’s TD run

The On The Road Home Podcast is up. Sorry it took so long to post. Sunday I ended up having less time to blog than I expected with a number of minor family commitments and Monday and Tuesday are my most commitment filled days of the week. So, it took until Wednesday morning to get this posted.
(As an aside, I still plan to do the reasons for optimism and despair posts throughout the rest of the week but the promised response to Avinash’s posts over at CGB are going to end up falling on the editing room floor as they say in the movies. Still 6 out of 7 isn’t bad.)

Don’t go into shock with me posting this on the day (OK, evening) of the game. It’s a lot easier when I’m not traveling to and fro to get the podcast finished in a reasonable amount of time. In any case, enjoy:

My final podcast of the season is up. Have a listen below.
Consider the comment section of this post the best place to put feedback for next year’s podcasts. Now is a good time to get those in because some of them might require I go about things differently. The one piece of feedback I got that I liked and somehow forgot to do most of this season was to do a quick game recap at the beginning of the podcast. I’ll make sure I get back in the habit of that next season. In any case, let me know what you like and don’t like and want added.
Here are the player and coach quotes at the end:
Tedford’s openning comments
Tedford on mixing passing and running
Tedford on Miami’s adjustments
Tedford on winning TD play
Tedford on 4th down conversions
Tedford on Jahvid Best’s performance
Follett on forced fumble
Follett on bowl environment
Longshore on Anthony Miller
Longshore on winning final game

Two weeks in a row of an on-time podcast… must be a trend or something! Unlike my normal podcasts where I try to be pretty professional, for this one, I was just too excited to contain myself and I just let the tape and thoughts flow. Have a listen to a one-of-a-kind OTRH podcast:

Have a listen to my post-game thoughts on Nate vs. Kevin, our awesome defense, who looks tough in the coming weeks and much more.

It’s Friday night before a Cal game, what is the last item on everyone’s agenda to prep for the Cal game the next day? Why finish up all of their unfinished business!
OK, I know my publishing of the podcasts are getting to be just a bit tiresomely consistently late, but hey, it’s not like anyone is paying me for this. So while I do wish I was getting these published on time, I also know those stinking bookshelves are still unfinished in the garage (ARG!?!) and work is pretty busy too.
In any case, have a listen.

Well, this seems to be the year of the remarkably late podcast. I’m still struggling to keep in front of everything I have to do. Those desks and bookshelves that were supposed to be finished before the season started and then by Labor day and then by last weekend are STILL not done. Luckily, I’m really close. The desks are in the house and are about 30 minutes of working time from complete (waiting for some glue to dry) and the bookshelves just need to be polished and have the cabinet doors and drawers attached before they’re done. So hopefully by this coming Sunday, everything will be done and I’ll be more prompt with my podcasts and you’ll see a lot more posting around here.
In any case, I did record the podcast shortly after the Maryland game. It was just a matter of editing all of it together. Here’s a list of all the quotes after my commentary:
- Tedford on overall performance
- Tedford on each player doing their job

Yes, that’s right. I finally am posting my Michigan State On The Road Home podcast. I know that it’s way past due and not really meaningful at this point, but hey, I recorded it after the game and I want it available for reference later.
The WSU podcast should be posted tomorrow.
