What a day. Michigan runs for 418 yards against the (not anymore) #5 rushing defense in the country, winning 41-17 against a top 10 opponent in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the 24-point margin suggests. Elsewhere, Tennessee knocks off the evil empire, mocks them with their own song, and tosses the goalposts in the river. TCU comes back to win in double overtime, Utah stuns USC, and Clemson survives. College football, you never cease to deliver. On this week's episode, we break it all do...

We're halfway through the season, undefeated, ranked in the top 4, and with a Heisman candidate in the backfield. Who's got it better than us? On this week's episode, we break down the good, meh, and uhh from Michigan's road win over the Hoosiers (a 3 TD win on the road in a game we didn't play well in is a nice place to be). We hand out midseason awards (hello Mike Morris and Mike Sainristil), preview PSU, and revise our CFP picks. We also look ahead to a huge weekend across the college footbal...

Iowa's offense may be suspect, but their defense is elite, and we'll take a win at Kinnick any day of the week. On this week's episode, we discuss the highs (O-line, RBs, JJ, Mike Morris) and lows (LBs, secondary) of Michigan's emphatic win. We wonder if Georgia, Bama, and Ohio really are in a tier of their own, and we prepare for a big week 6 (go Vols!). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It wasn't always pretty. The nerves may have been tested. The tension may have risen. But we're done with September, and Michigan is 4-0 thanks to a heroic performance from the best running back in the country. On this week's episode we start the Corum for Heisman campaign, praise the secondary, debate whether we should be concerned about the pass rush, and preview or trip to Iowa. We also recap a wild weekend in college football, plot a trip to Tennessee, and buy stock in Clemson. Hosted on Aca...

Just like that we're a quarter of the way through the season. It wasn't the most competitive or illuminating portion of the schedule, but we do our best to take learning from Michigan's three dominating wins. We also hand out our term 1 awards (congrats Iowa defense on doing your part), bemoan the Big Ten West, and plot a visit to Boone, NC. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An upset in College Station. The #1 team pushed to the brink. El Assico living up to its billing. It was a Saturday for the ages in college football. And oh-by-the-way, Michigan looked pretty good under the lights. On this week's episode, we break down a wild day across the country, sing JJ's praises (and give thanks to Cade), and try to take some insights from a game that was about as lopsided as you can get. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Say what you will about the competition. All we know is it feels good to say "another week, another win for Michigan" again. Football is back with a vengeance, and we're back to break down the big storylines from week 1. Is the pass rush for real? Can the defense look this athletic against a Big Ten team? Did JJ put himself in the driver's seat for the QB job? Elsewhere: is Brian Kelly the worst possible fit for LSU? Will Urban Meyer be the next coach of Nebraska? And how long will it take for I...

Football's back, baby. This time last year Harbaugh was on the hot seat. Now we're defending Big Ten Champs, return a bunch of starters, and are ready to take the next step. Oh and did you know that we beat Ohio 42-27?? We relive last year, preview the team, and discuss all the burning topics from the offseason (NIL, expansion, Harbaugh's NFL dalliance). Hosted on Acast.

Four months ago we were contemplating becoming a basketball podcast. Jim Harbaugh was on the hottest seat in America. Michigan was an underdog against Indiana. We won't be national champs (tip of the cap to the dawgs and good luck against Bama), but it's been a helluva ride. We look back on the season that was and relive the moments that made it one to remember. Forever Go Blue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After 18 years, we can say it and mean it: those who stay will be CHAMPIONS! A team that had a 0.01% chance of making the CFP at the beginning of the year has climbed to rarified air and no matter what happens on NYE, they've got rings coming their way. On this week's episode, we bask in the glory that was Saturday night, thank the players and coaches that made this possible, debate where we should have ended up ranked, and peak ahead to Georgia. Go Blue! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f...

There was snow, there was a Haskins hurdle, there was a halftime scuffle, there was an epic field rush - and at the end, there was a new Big Ten East Champion. On this week's episode, we reflect on the best weekend of our lives as fans, give thanks to Aidan Hutchinson, Hassan Haskins, the team, coaches, and all the great players who never got to taste a victory like this but helped make it possible (here's looking at you Devin Gardner and Mike Hart). We also preview the Big Ten championship(!), ...

With travel and Thanksgiving preparations throwing off our normal routine, we condensed the Maryland recap into a live pregame show Saturday morning before what became one of the greatest games of all time. If you missed the live show or just want to relish in the glory that was Saturday, here's the recording. We'll have our Ohio episode out in the next few days (should be one for the ages) and will have another live episode Saturday to get ready for Iowa and a shot at the Big Ten title. Go Blue...

Take that haters. We'll take a ranked road win against a legitimately decent team (with a legitimately terrible run game and half-injured QB...) any day of the week. Plus we've clearly got it better than Texas, Florida, and Washington so we've got that going for us. On this week's episode we definitely don't talk about a game in two weeks and focus all of our attention on recapping Penn State and previewing Maryland. We also break down the CFP projections, discuss rooting interests in the OSU-MS...

A nondescript, comfortable win - that's how Indiana games are supposed to feel. Michigan bounces back to improve to 8-1, and with help from Purdue, we're now one step closer to controlling our own destiny again. This week, we preview a massive trip to Happy Valley, discuss the chaos that is the playoff race, and talk about the right way to eat apple pie. Hosted on Acast.

If only. The refs, the fourth downs, the replay reviews, the false start on 4th down, the two-point conversions, the fumble we lost, the fumble we didn't get. After a heartbreaking Saturday and a few sleepless nights, we're back to break down a game that actually had a lot of positives (hello Andrel!) and talk about Michigan's path going forward (still pretty good). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nearly 300 yards of rushing. A blocked punt. A stress-free 4th quarter. On this week's episode, we celebrate another victory, discuss how worried we should be about the passing game, and preview the impending Big Ten East round robin. But mostly, we get ready for State and a Saturday showdown in East Lansing. Go Blue! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hope you had your popcorn ready. What a Saturday. Bama goes down. Oklahoma comes back from down 21. Ole Miss survives a two-point try. Iowa stays unbeaten. And on the plains of Nebraska, Michigan improves to 6-0 in an absolute thriller. We try to make sense of what was quite possibly the greatest day in college football history, celebrate a big road win, and preview the second half of the season. Hosted on Acast.

Another week, another win for Michigan. This time it's a win at Camp Randall for the first time in two decades, and it comes in dominating fashion. On this week's episode, we relish in the afterglow of a magical college football Saturday, give props to the coaching staff, and look ahead to Nebraska. We also look at the chaos that is the broader college football landscape (hello Stanford!), suggest some changes to the Fox broadcast, and preview a massive week 6. Hosted on Acast.

Survive and advance. Or maybe hit the panic button. What started as a pleasant Saturday turned stressful and then almost turned tragic. But Michigan did in fact win and now sits at 4-0 and #14 in the country. On this week's episode, we decide how much we should look into an ugly second half, get ready for a huge trip to Madison, and relive the highs of a great Saturday across the country (hello NC State and BC)!

3-0. Ranked in the top 20. ESPN talking about a playoff run. Is it time to start believing? We break down Michigan's dominating win over Northern Illinois and debate how much we should takeaway from a game that can only be described as a beatdown. We also discuss Notre Dame refusing to let a drum on the field, a coach buying beer for fans, and a host of almost-upsets across the country. Hosted on Acast.

If you told us three weeks ago that Michigan would be 2-0 right now coming off two straight 300+ yard rushing performances and a 31-10 win over Washington, we'd take that any day of the week. On this week's episode, we discuss plans for giving Mike Hart a bonus, decide whether we actually need to throw the football, and cheer on Oregon (go Ducks!). We also recap a crazy weekend of upsets in college football and the heroic saving of a cat in Miami. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more ...

College football as it should be. After two years of waiting for a (mostly) normal college football Saturday, the opening weekend did not disappoint. Aidan Hutchinson was unstoppable. Dax Hill was a beast. And speed in space looked like a thing. Competition caveats apply, but at least we got a fun week. Outside of dissecting Michigan's win, we discuss whether we'd skip senior year of high school for $1.4m, shout out a grad assistant turned starting QB, and breakdown lessons learned from around t...

We get it. The team's not ranked. The last few seasons haven't been - what's the word..."fun." Ohio is loaded (per usual). We're not here to dwell on that. We're here to remind you that college football is amazing, that there's always hope in new beginnings, and that in a world with lots of problems there's still something special in a fall Saturday at the Big House. On this week's episode, we preview the 2021 season, reminisce about great Michigan moments of yesteryear, and discuss the best (an...

Another week, another win for Michigan. It feels good to say that even if it took three overtimes and a missed field goal against Rutgers to get there. On this week’s episode, we discuss the Cade McNamara era, reminisce about the days of a functional defense, and remember past poor predictions of Michigan success. We also preview the basketball season, debate which fanbase has it better (or worse): Penn state or Michigan, and decide what we'll do the next time Michigan beats Ohio State. Happy Th...

Michigan hockey got off to a great start. The early data on the vaccines is promising. Thanksgiving is next week. Happiness does exist in the world. On this week's episode, we grudgingly discuss the Wisconsin game but spend most of our time on a draft of things we're looking forward to pre and post-vaccine. Hosted on Acast.

Can't believe the season is done this soon. It felt like it was just getting started, and now we've got to adjust to a whole new show. On this week's episode, we discuss Claire's shocking proposal (I wasn't shocked, just disappointed...) and (grudgingly) try to understand what happened to the Michigan secondary, how you jump offsides five times in a half, and where we go from here. We also update our expectations for the rest of the season, debate what it would take for Harbaugh to keep his job,...

Oh Michigan football how we've missed you. The Wolverines win in emphatic fashion 49-24 to retain possession of the Little Brown Jug. In the process, it looks like they may have found themselves a quarterback, an offensive line, and an offensive coordinator. On this week's episode, we get excited about the return of football (hello Indiana game finish), decide how much we can read into one game, and prep for a Sparty team that just gave up 38 to Rutgers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...

Maybe not quite the same week 1 feeling, but on Saturday night the Wolverines will battle for the Little Brown Jug (knock on wood) and hopefully for three hours we can turn our attention to a simple game. On this episode, 16 Saturdays returns to preview the 2020 season. We debate whether the Joe Milton hype is real, decide how afraid we should be of the cornerbacks (pretty afraid), and prepare for Dax Hill's liftoff. We also suggest giving Chase Winovich permanent mic privileges at Michigan Stad...

Predictably distressing. That pretty much sums it up. On this week's episode we're not quite ready to talk about the mishaps of Saturday and instead talk about next year's team, basketball (hooray Juwan!), and the potential of going undefeated into Thanksgiving in 2020. We also pick our conference championship winners and plead with Don Brown to stay in Ann Arbor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another week, another rousing victory. Michigan cruises past Indiana 39-14 in the last hurdle before the big one. On this week's episode, we talk a bit about the Wolverines’ win over the Hoosiers and much more about the game that’s been causing us sleepless nights for weeks. We also discuss what Michigan needs to do to beat Ohio, decide what reasonable expectations look like, and wonder what we'd give up for a victory (hint: a lot). Hosted on Acast.
