The haters will hate on 32 passing yards or 9 second half yards until the final drive or a corner blitz without safety help that led to a walk-in touchdown. But haters can’t take away a win over a top-15 team - a win that somehow makes us 1-0 in the Big Ten, and a win that keeps everything on the table for the Wolverines. On this week's episode, we…

Another week, another win for Michigan. It wasn’t the prettiest or one that necessarily leads you to believe there will be a whole lot more to come. But it was a win, and it was a return to form for the run game, and it was a dominant performance from the starting defense, and it was a lot more fun than last weekend. On this week's episode, we welc…

Did you know that it's been 1746 days since Ohio State beat Michigan. That's almost 5 years! That was before COVID! That was a long time ago! On this week's episode, we reflect on a crisp, sunny Saturday in Ann Arbor, marvel at the Texans' hats, and I guess talk about football and where we can find hope to turn the season around. Hosted on Acast. S…

It wasn't always pretty or, you know, fun, but there were moments of glory (thank you Will Johnson) and signs of hope for a more fluid offense (hello Kalel Mullings). On this week's episode, we rejoice in the return of football, debate whether it's possible to rattle Matthew McConaughey, and discuss our evolving takes on the 12-team playoff. We als…

It's been 9 months. Maybe you've forgotten the feeling. The up-in-the-night, pit-in-the-stomach waves of nerves that give way to pure bliss as Rod Moore cradles an errant Kyle McCord pass or Jalen Milroe runs straight into the best Michigan D-line of our lifetimes or Mikey Sainristil picks off Michael Penix to cue the confetti. Fear not - 16 Saturd…

Another week, another win for Michigan - and in the words of Keith Jackson, whoa nelly this was not your average win. Michigan 27, Nick Saban-led Alabama 20 in overtime at the Rose Bowl, and now there’s only one more left to etch this team’s place in immortality. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Another week, another win for Michigan. Another year, another Big Ten Championship and another berth in the college football playoff. The Wolverines cruise past Iowa 26-0 to win their 3rd straight big ten title and now move on to face Alabama with a shot at the ultimate prize on the line. On this week's episode we:- Celebrate another Big Ten title-…

Another week, another win for Michigan. Another year, another loss for Ohio State. Corum scores two touchdowns, JJ plays like the JJ of old, Sherrone Moore out-coaches Ryan Day, and Rod Moore etches his name into Michigan lore as the Wolverines make it 3 in a row and move on to the Big Ten title game.On this week's episode, we relive one of the gre…

It wasn’t necessarily pretty or relaxing or, you know, enjoyable, but it was a win, and after long last, we’ve arrived at the one-game season. On Saturday the maize and blue will take on the scarlet and grey in what might be the biggest game of our lifetime. On this week's episode we exhale after a nerve-wracking second half, pray for a healthy ros…

On the road. Versus a top-15 team. Without a head coach. Without, you know, throwing the football. Oh, and without a sign guy. Michigan wins an emotional battle against Penn State to improve to 10-0 and stay on collision course with the evil empire.On this week's episode, we break down the game, rip into the Big Ten, and discuss Michigan's acceptan…

Here's what the story should have been: Corum moves to 2nd all-time in TDs. JJ looks rusty but still completes 65% of his passes for over 300 yards. And the defense looks like its usual self. Oh btw, Harbaugh signs an extension and is staying at Michigan for life.Instead, here we are. A sport where rules are broken constantly (see Jayden Daniels re…

The defense scores enough to win on its own. JJ throws for four touchdowns and is now the Heisman favorite. And the fanbase takes over Spartan stadium midway through the first half as Michigan crushes Michigan State 49-0.On this week's episode, we celebrate a beatdown of little brother, discuss JJ's Heisman chances, and praise just about everyone o…

This time it’s a cold and rainy day, a slow start, and a come from behind win… but the Wolverines still easily cover a 35-point spread, move to Tuttle time in the 3rd quarter, and maybe showcase a future star in Benjamin Hall (and Tyler Morris? Semaj Morgan?). On this week's episode, we relive a magical journey back to Ann Arbor (our first of the s…

The defense outscores the opposition, JJ scores a couple of rushing TDs before starting his cheering time in the 3rd quarter, and Michigan emphatically ensures the Little Brown Jug will stay in Ann Arbor for another year. On this week's episode, we celebrate one of the most dominant performances of our lifetimes, look forward to a weekend in the Bi…

After a quick stint on the COVID unable to perform list, we are back and better than ever. On this week's episode, we discuss corn eating technique, JJ's gratitude, and the roots of 'he's a jolly good fellow.' We also try to take what insights we can from an absolute beatdown, adjust our playoff projections, and debate the merits of relegation. Hos…

Corum looks like he's back. The defense was strong. JJ struggled. Michigan improved to 3-0, but beyond that there's not much to takeaway from another game against an overmatched opponent. On this week's episode, we take what we can from the game but mostly look forward to a great weekend in college football (7 ranked vs. ranked games!), describe ou…

JJ is nearly perfect. Corum scores three times. The defense dominates and only gives up a late TD when the backups are in. On this week's episode, we try to find takeaways from a game that was never in doubt and wonder at how long the run of these types of games will last. We also praise the defense (D-line looks legit!), love the coaching rotation…

JJ McCarthy throws for 3 touchdowns. Roman Wilson catches 3 touchdowns. The defense comes within a sad last second field goal of a shutout, and the Wolverines open the season with a pedestrian 30-3 victory over East Carolina. On this week's episode, we pitch ideas for how Harbaugh should watch the next two games, try not to read too much into the p…

Best running back room in the country. 5-star QB in year three. Reigning back-to-back best OL reloads. Defense with stars at every level. Traditional powers (Bama, OSU, Clemson, Georgia) are all breaking in new QBs. Is this the year? On this week's episode, we celebrate the return of football, break down the most talented Michigan roster of our lif…

Beat Michigan State. Check. Beat Ohio State. Check. Win Big Ten Title. Check. As the calendar moves to December, the 2022 Wolverines have checked off 3 of the 4 goals they set out for themselves at the start of the year. On this week's episode, we bask in the afterglow of a magical regular season and start to peek ahead to New Year's Eve. We also t…

Oh, what a game. We're Big Ten East champs. We're a Purdue game away from a second straight Big Ten title. We've almost certainly clinched a spot in the playoffs. Ryan Day is on the hot seat. And perhaps most importantly - we've added a full calendar year to the 1,000+ days it’s been since Ohio State beat Michigan. On this week's episode we bask in…

The leaves have fallen, the turkeys have been eaten, the Christmas decorations are starting to pop up around the neighborhood - and with the changing of the season comes the most glorious game of all. In just under two hours the scarlet and gray will meet the MAIZE & BLUE for the Big Ten East title, a trip to the playoffs, and most importantly - a …

It wasn't always pretty. At times it was downright terrifying. But some clutch conversions and the steady leg of Jake 'Money' Moody preserved the perfect season, and now we're on to the big one. On this week's episode, we don't need to look past anyone when we preview The Game. We pray for some medical miracles, hope for an innovative offensive gam…

For the first time since 2006 and only the second time in our lifetimes, Michigan is 10-0. We're #3 in all of the major polls and control our destiny for the Big Ten and national titles. Life is good. On this week's episode, we recap our trip to Ann Arbor, discuss the game day experience (and offer some constructive criticism), and rave about our O…

During a night of chaos across the college football landscape, Michigan's halftime adjustments (and you know superior athletes) proved too much for Rutgers to overcome. The Wolverines cruise to a 52-17 win and inch one step closer to an epic showdown Thanksgiving weekend. On this week's episode, we recap two big wins (welcome home Paul!), discuss t…

Staee might be 3-4. They might be paying $95m for an unproven coach to 'rebuild.' They might be fighting for bowl eligibility instead of a division title. But on Saturday night none of that will matter, and if you're a Michigan fan who's sleeping well this week, you probably haven't lived through the past 15 years. On this week's episode, we previe…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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…

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 …

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…

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 dalli…

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 on…

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 coac…

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 ta…

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…

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…

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 appl…

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 (s…

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…

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 roa…

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 col…

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 high…

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 ho…

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!).…

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 disc…

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 Saturda…

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 sea…
