Episodes
-
Hello to the Future - Michigan 52, UTEP 17
35-point win to cover the spread. 28-0 3rd quarter. Nearly 100 yards receiving for Marsh and Buchanan in ~3 quarters of work. Just how we drew it up. On this week's episode, we talk about how much to blame ourselves as fans for the first half, get excited about the future (hello Tariq Boney and...
-
Maybe There's a Season Left After All - Michigan 17, Oklahoma 10
A win. A real, honest to god, no NCAA committees and appeals process needed win. And it's a big one - 17-10 over Oklahoma. The defense looks elite. Bryce looks pretty good. And maybe we still have a season to dream about? On this week's episode, we tip our caps to Jason Beck and Bryce Underwood…
more -
I think we won the game, right? - Michigan 13, Western Michigan 12
Another week, another win for Michigan. We can say that right? Or maybe we should start by having everyone pause the podcast for 1 second before starting. On this week's episode, we try to remember that this is just a game that's supposed to be fun. We also hope for a Bryce Renaissance, discuss...
-
Still the Best - 2026 Season Preview
It's been quite the 9 months. The run D vs. OSU. Sherrone. The interceptions vs. Texas. But a new era is arriving, and with it, the greatest season returns. On this week's episode, we look forward to the Coach Whitt era, dream about what it would look like to have a passing game, and wonder if we...
-
Once More Unto the Breach - Michigan 45, Maryland 20
Another week, another win for Michigan - and Will, at long last, we are here again. On Saturday, the snow will fall, the skies will darken, and the Maize and Blue will take on the Scarlet and Gray with a trip to the Big Ten title game, the playoffs, and a lifetime-worth’s of bragging rights on…
more -
Why do I watch sports? Michigan 24, Northwestern 22
Another week, another win for Michigan. 24-22 over Northwestern in a game that really was the best of times, the worst of times. I laughed, cried, swore at the TV, and nearly swore off fandom before exhaling deeply and trying to move on with my day all in one 3 hour window. On this week's…
more -
Paul Stays Home - Michigan 31, MSU 20
Another week, another win for Michigan. 31-20 over Michigan State in a game that Will, 4 days later, doesn’t have a lot that stands out. But it is a rivalry win, it does mean that Paul is staying in Ann Arbor, and Michigan still maybe has a path to a championship. On this week's episode we…
more -
Redemption? - Michigan 24, Washington 7
Another week, another win for Michigan. 24-7 over Washington. Jordan Marshall looks like Mike Hart. Bryce is a couple dropped passes away from a JJ-type stat line. Andrew Marsh looks like the WR we were promised. And the defense has a few wobbles, but man it looks a whole lot better than last…
more -
Hot, fun, and memorable (at least for us) - Michigan 24, Wisconsin 10
Another week, another win for Michigan. Bryce throws for 270. We have a receiver go for over 100. Haynes keeps his 100 yard streak alive. The defense basically shuts down Wisconsin after the first drive. Nick is there with Dad, Jeremy, and Dalia for her first trip to the Big House. On this week's...
-
Sack Party - Michigan 30, Nebraska 27
It wasn’t always pretty or relaxing, but it was a road win in a hostile environment against an undefeated team who might have one of the top 3 QBs in the country. On this week's episode, we break down a thrilling win in Lincoln, tip our cap to Chip Lindsey, question Wink's third down approach…
more -
Are We Back On? - Michigan 63, Central Michigan 3
63 points is nice. Bryce running for 100+ is nice. The O-line paving CMU for almost 400 yards on the ground is nice. Biff Poggi making Batman references is nice (even if Will has issues with it). The question is: does any of this extend past Central Michigan? On this week's episode, we try to…
more -
Please Not Again - Oklahoma 24, Michigan 13
These a lot more fun when we get to start with another week, another win for Michigan. This was not one of those weeks. Michigan technically only lost by 11 on the road at night to an SEC team that everyone thinks might be pretty good, but it sure felt worse than that. On this week's episode, we...
-
The Second Coming? - Michigan 34, New Mexico 17
Bryce looked the part. Marlin Klein did his best Colston Loveland 2.0. Justice Haynes had my almost 2-year-old fist pumping. And the defense was basically what we hoped they'd be. Can they do it again in Norman this week? On this week's episode, we celebrate the return of football, tip our cap to...
-
The Best Time of the Year - Season Preview 2025
The leaves are starting to turn, the apples are growing ripe on the vine, and if you wake up on the early side you’ll feel a little hint of a chill in the air. And with the turning of the season comes the most wonderful change of all - on Saturday the crowds will gather, the band will play, and…
more -
Plant the Flag - Michigan 13, Ohio State 10
The number of days since OSU last beat Michigan will now officially crest 2000! The Wolverines hold the Buckeyes vaunted $20m offense to 10 total points to make it 4 in a row in the rivalry, winning the biggest upset in our lifetimes. On this week's episode, we offer lots of praise to people who...
-
State champs - Michigan 24, MSU 17
Another week, another win for Michigan. Ok it came against a mediocre team in year 0 of a rebuild. And it wasn’t always pretty. And the 1st quarter was downright dreadful. But it was a win and a rivalry win, and we’re one more Northwestern win away from a bowl game. On this week's episode we…
more -
There are good things in the world - Illinois 21, Michigan 7
It was not another week, it’s been more like 4 weeks. And it was not another win, it’s been 2 losses. But it's still be more than 1750 days since Ohio beat us. On this week's episode, we remind ourselves of good things in the world (think apple cider, donuts, leaf piles), begrudgingly talk about...
-
A Win's a Win - Michigan 27, Minnesota 24
It wasn’t a big win, or against a very good football team, or particularly pretty, or you know fun, but it was a win - and we are technically the #10 in the country. On this week's episode, we treasure the time we get to watch Mullings and Graham, wonder if we should turn the offense into Army…
more -
Hope Springs Eternal - Michigan 27, USC 24
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...
-
Let the Orji era begin? - Michigan 28, Arkansas State 18
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…
more -
1746(!) Days - Texas 31, Michigan 12
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…
more -
Peaks and Valleys - Michigan 30, Fresno State 10
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...
-
Preseason 2024: Keep the dream alive
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...
-
Bring on the 16th Saturday (or Monday) - Michigan 27, Alabama 20
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...
-
Bring on Bama - Michigan 26, Iowa 0
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...
-
Rush The Field - Michigan 30, Ohio State 24
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...
-
Survive and Advance - Michigan 31, Maryland 24
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…
more -
Why Should I Change My Name? He's the One Who Sucks. Michigan 24, Penn State 15
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,...
-
Michigan vs. The World, Michigan 41, Purdue 13
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…
more -
Who Doesn't Have a Rogue Analyst? Michigan 49, Michigan State 0
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...
-
Our Journey Home - Michigan 52, Indiana 7
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...
-
Sippin' the Jug - Michigan 52, Minnesota 10
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…
more -
Better Than Ever - Michigan 45, Nebraska 7
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...
-
Bring on the real season - Michigan 31, Bowling Green 6
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…
more -
Workmanlike - Michigan 35, UNLV 7
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...
-
Do you believe now? Michigan 30, East Carolina 3
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…
more -
Beat Ohio (and Georgia?), 2023 Preview
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,...
-
Back 2 Back - Michigan 43, Purdue 21
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...
-
Plant the Flag - Michigan 45, Ohio State 23
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...
-
The Game Live Pregame Show - Michigan vs. Ohio
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...
-
Bring on the Big Boss - Michigan 19, Illinois 17
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...
-
One Step Closer - Michigan 34, Nebraska 3
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…
more -
Second Half Adjustments - Michigan 52, Rutgers 17
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…
more -
Hate Week: Michigan State Preview 2022
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...
-
A Weekend to Write Home About - Michigan 41, Penn State 17
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...
-
Midterm Grading Time - Michigan 31, Indiana 10
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...
-
The Rare Iowa Road Win - Michigan 27, Iowa 14
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…
more -
Squeaking by? Michigan 34, Maryland 27
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,...
-
Term 1 in the Books - Michigan 59, UCONN 0
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…
more -
The Chosen One? Michigan 56, Hawaii 10
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...
