Reacting to Michigan football's 52-10 win over Minnesota

Before the season, while it didn't necessarily look daunting for Michigan football to have two-straight road games in Big Ten play, it didn't look easy. Now that Nebraska and Minnesota are in the rearview mirror, the Wolverines dominated both games unlike anything we've seen in recent memory. We discuss the game before turning our attention to Gopher head coach PJ Fleck and his overly praiseworthy postgame comments. Then, discussing what we saw from Ohio State vs. Maryland.

Does the Big Ten hate Michigan football or nah?

2024, in particular, could be either really fun if you're a Wolverine, or a nightmare. That's because Michigan football got either the short end of the stick, or the most incredible schedule of all time in college football. The Big Ten revealed the next five-year slate of games in-conference, and next year, Michigan plays USC, Oregon, Washington, and Ohio State in-conference -- that's not even mentioning Texas and currently-ranked Fresno State. That's six ranked teams with five currently in the ...

People are starting to notice Michigan football after Week 5

Michigan football is the No. 2 team in the nation, yet, until this week, no one was really talking about the Wolverines unless it was in a negative way. However, after beating a not-great Nebraska team, somehow, everything changed. Many top critics are now putting the maize and blue as their No. 1 team. We discuss what happened before talking about what Donovan Edwards had to say about his slow start, getting into the stats for him as well as Roman Wilson, and then discussing Ohio State vs. Mary...

Reasons to shelve Michigan football's Week 3 performance from the discourse

Recency bias is big in college football. Have a bad game? You're a bad team forever and could never win a championship. Have an unexpected good game? You're the best team to ever grace the gridiron. Yes, there were bad things from Michigan football's Week 3 performance, but there are reasons to launch some aspects into the sun and appreciate others as regular, rote performance.
