Michigan Basketball and Dusty May, Football Roster, NIL, Sherrone Moore In Year One
Michigan head basketball coach Dusty May has done a phenomenal job since taking over in late-March. He has put together a phenomenal staff, retained a few players who could really help when it comes to depth, landed three high school prospects from the recruiting trail and, most importantly…

Ep. 206: Michigan Football, Spring Game, Offensive Line, Dusty May's Staff
After a perfect 15-0, national championship season, Michigan is flying high but does have a lot to figure out heading into the 2024 season. New head coach Sherrone Moore had to hire six new assistants and move around a few others into new positions. He and his staff also have to find a new…

Ep. 205: Sherrone Moore & Michigan Spring Football, Juwan Howard Fired, Michigan Basketball
It's a new year, a new format and a essentially two new programs. Michigan football is now under the watchful eye of Sherrone Moore as the Wolverines look to defend their national title, while in basketball, the Juwan Howard era is over. The former Fab Fiver was fired after an abysmal 8-24 season...
-
Ep. 204: Michigan Football Beats Penn State, Maryland Up Next, Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Big Ten, JJ McCarthy
Jim Harbaugh got on a plane to head to Pennsylvania with his team to take on Penn State and found out, while airborne, that he was suspended. It was a cowardly move by Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, but that's how it went down. With the news that Harbaugh wouldn't be allowed inside Beaver...
-
Ep. 203: Michigan Football vs. Penn State, Jim Harbaugh & The Media, JJ McCarthy, NCAA/Big Ten
Well, Connor Stalions is out, the NCAA found nothing linking Jim Harbaugh to Stalions and the Wolverines are easily 2-0 since the sign-stealing allegations became public knowledge. Mix all of that in a bowl, with different media people reporting on all parts of this scandal in very different…
more -
Ep. 202: Jim Harbaugh's Program, Connor Stalions & MSU/CMU, Michigan Football vs. Purdue, Fan Wednesday
Another day, another layer of weirdness surrounding the Michigan football program and the sign-stealing allegations. The latest — a gentleman resembling Connor Stalions on Central Michigan's sideline earlier this year as the Chippewas took on Michigan State. If it is Stalions, he's in full CMU...
-
Ep. 201: Michigan Football vs. Michigan State, Sign Stealing Reports, Jim Harbaugh, NCAA
On Saturday, Oct. 21, Michigan beat the absolute piss out of Michigan State in East Lansing, 49-0, but unfortunately, it felt like old news by the time Monday rolled around because of new findings surrounding the sign stealing allegations at U-M. More evidence came out against Connor Stalions and...
-
Ep. 200: Michigan Kills Minnesota, Indiana Upcoming, JJ McCarthy, Offensive Line, Halfway Point
Michigan is 6-0 overall, No. 2 in the country and winning by an average of 30.7 points each time it takes the field. Jim Harbaugh and his staff are firing on all cylinders and the the team seems locked in, yet is still improving. To put it bluntly — Michigan is in a great spot halfway through the...
-
Ep. 199: Michigan Football vs. Minnesota, Jim Harbaugh, U-M Defense, Offensive Weapons
Michigan is now sitting pretty at 5-0 after absolutely destroying Nebraska in Lincoln. Some dunces thought that the Huskers might actually give the Wolverines a game but instead, Michigan got out to a 45-0 lead before allowing a score by the home team. Jim Harbaugh, his coaches and just about…
more -
Ep. 198: Michigan Football vs. Nebraska, Jim Harbaugh Returns, JJ McCarthy, Donovan Edwards
For the fourth week in a row, Michigan won pretty convincingly, but it didn't play out exactly how most thought it would. The Wolverines have yet to score 40 points and have not covered a spread yet against very inferior opponents. Still, 4-0 is 4-0, Jim Harbaugh is back and the Wolverines are…
more -
Ep. 197: Jim Harbaugh Returns, Michigan Football vs. Rutgers, Fan-Led Wednesday
Michigan is now 3-0 after its less-than daunting non-conference schedule, but the wins weren't as impressive as most thought they would be. Of course, Jim Harbaugh was absent for all three, which begs the question — how big of a difference will Harbaugh make now that he's back? That question will...
-
Ep. 196: Michigan State & Mel Tucker, Jim Harbaugh, Bowling Green, JJ McCarthy, Running Game
There's plenty to talk about when it comes to Michigan football. JJ McCarthy has been razor sharp, the running game is just a little behind schedule, Jesse Minter's defense has been lights out and Jim Harbaugh has just one game remaining on his suspension. The Wolverines are easily 2-0 and still...
-
Ep. 195: Jim Harbaugh Presser, UNLV, JJ McCarthy & Roman Wilson, Michigan Defense
Michigan is sitting at 1-0 after beating ECU pretty easily in week one, but it wasn't perfect and didn't look how most people thought it would. The Wolverines only scored one rushing touchdown and weren't able to run the ball like they did just about every week last year. Blake Corum led the way...
-
Ep. 194: Fan-Led Wednesday, Ron Bellamy, Chris Partridge, Michigan Football
Just a few days before kicking off the 2023 season, Michigan assistants Ron Bellamy and Chris Partridge spoke to the media for the first time this offseason. For Bellamy, it's about finding a reliable third and fourth receiver behind Cornelius Johnson and Roman Wilson. For much of camp, Tyler...
-
Ep. 193: Michigan Football vs. East Carolina, Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Presser, Sherrone Moore, Jesse Minter
The season hasn't started yet, but there's already a lot going on when it comes to Michigan football. Jim Harbaugh is suspended for the first three games, while offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Sherrone Moore is suspended for just the opener. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will...
-
Ep. 192: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Football In Pads, The Deepest Roster, NCAA Football Returning
It's a lot of fun to be a Michigan football fan right now. The Wolverines are No. 2 in the country, loaded on both sides of the ball, possess one of the best overall coaching staffs in the entire country and get the hated Ohio State Buckeyes at home. It's hard to find a weakness on this team and...
-
Ep. 191: Michigan Football Is Upon Us, Michigan State and Ohio State Weirdos, Jim Harbaugh
Michigan football is officially back. The Wolverines kicked off fall camp on August 2 and will obviously take the field a month later in the season opener against Eastern Carolina. Jim Harbaugh was chipper and confident while in Indianapolis for Big Ten Media Days because he knows he has a TEAM....
-
Ep. 190: Potential Jim Harbaugh Suspension, Big Ten Media Days, Mel Tucker's Mood, Ryan Day's Approach
Whether it was new Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule talking about making the Huskers great again, Luke Fickell discussing what made Wisconsin an attractive job, Ryan Day looking a little less confident than he used to or Jim Harbaugh proudly taking the stage as the back-to-back defending Big Ten...
-
Ep. 189: Josh Wallace, Olivier Nkamhoua, ECU Game On Peacock, Jim Harbaugh Passing Offense
Over the past couple of weeks, both Michigan basketball and football reeled in a player from the transfer portal that could help in a major way during the upcoming season. For Juwan Howard, it was Olivier Nkamhoua. The former Tennessee Volunteer is expected to contribute in a major way as a 6-9,...
-
Ep. 188: Michigan Basketball Down, NCAA Football, Jim Harbaugh's Staff, Blake Corum
Michigan basketball took another hit, this time a big one, as incoming transfer Caleb Love has decided not to come to Ann Arbor. Whether it's because of academics, admissions or because Love simply doesn't want to play for Juwan Howard doesn't really matter. What matters, is that he's not going…
more -
Ep. 187: Hunter Dickinson & NIL, Jim Harbaugh & Michigan Football, JJ McCarthy & Joe Milton
Hunter Dickinson is no longer a Wolverine — the big center made it official by committing to Kansas. The fact that he's gone isn't a surprise and where he ultimately ended up really isn't either when you consider his reasoning. Upon leaving Michigan, Dickinson dished on what he made as a student...
-
Ep. 186: Michigan Football, Jim Harbaugh, JJ McCarthy, Hunter Dickinson, Transfer Portal
Now former Michigan big man Hunter Dickinson appeared on a podcast ahead of his decision and didn't really say much. Of course, we now know that Dickinson will play at Kansas next year, but at the time of this episode, we talked about his impact at Michigan, what he might do at a new school and...
-
Ep. 185: Michigan Football, Michigan Basketball, Transfer Portal, Recruiting
Jim Harbaugh has things absolutely humming right now, despite a few recent losses via the transfer portal. On the basketball side of things, the portal is still a factor as well. Both programs have benefitted from the portal, but recently we've seen players from both sports decide to look around…
more -
Ep. 184: Early Over/Unders 2023 Michigan Football, Michigan Basketball, Hunter Dickinson & Juwan Howard
Juwan Howard is trying to recover after a disappointing season and he's doing it mostly through the transfer portal. Hunter Dickinson is currently in the portal, but for how long and where will he end up? There's now smoke that Dickinson might actually return to Michigan. We shall see... When it...
-
Ep. 183: Michigan Football Spring Game Recap, Depth & Battles, Jim Harbaugh's Turnaround, Recruiting
Michigan's spring game ended up being one of the more entertaining versions in recent memory with the Maize Team edging out the Blue Team, 22-21, after a late-game two-point conversion call by head coach Mike Hart. After the game, Hart touched on some of the developments of the game, one of them...
-
Ep. 182: Michigan Basketball, Juwan Howard, Michigan Football, JJ McCarthy
Michigan advanced in the first round of the NIT after beating a solid Toledo team by 10, but Jett Howard opted out and the team just didn't look overly excited to be playing, at least early on. However, they got it together and now they'll face Vanderbilt in Nashville tomorrow. That'll be the…
more -
Ep. 181: Michigan Basketball/NIT Tournament, March Madness, Michigan Football — Recruiting & Playoffs
Michigan basketball is in a weird place right now. As the No. 3-seeded Wolverines gear up to take on Toledo in the first round of the NIT Tournament, fans of the program don't know what to think. If Michigan runs the table and wins the NIT, cool. It's always good to end your season on a win, but…
more -
Ep. 180: Michigan Basketball & Juwan Howard, Michigan Football, Spring Game, Burning Questions
Michigan basketball has been very up and down all year but the Big Ten Tournament was still there for them to make a statement and a run. With those ups and downs this year, that has been some talk about Juwan Howard's ability as a head coach and some have even started to use the words "hot seat"...
-
Ep. 179: Michigan Football Spring Roster, Michigan Basketball, Jim Harbaugh, JJ McCarthy, 2023 Season
Michigan basketball is slowly working its way back onto the bubble after beating Michigan State and Rutgers in impressive fashion. They're not there yet, but Joe Lunardi does have them back on the graphic. It's going to be fun to see how this team finishes the season. On the gridiron, Jim…
more -
Ep. 178: Michigan Football & Jim Harbaugh, New Coaches/Staff, Juwan Howard & Basketball, NCAA Tournament
We're in the thick of the offseason when it comes to college football but things are still happening around Ann Arbor. Jim Harbaugh is back for good, for now, and he's made a few new hires that appear to have improved his already stellar staff. The 2023 recruiting class is now all set and several...
-
Ep. 177: Michigan Football & Jim Harbaugh, QB Coach, Juwan Howard & Hoops, National Signing Day
National Signing Day has a completely different feel now that most prospects announce and sign early in December, but the first Wednesday in February will always feel like the true NSD. For Michigan, a lot of the work was already done, but at least a couple of prospects made their decision…
more -
Ep. 176: Jim Harbaugh Is Back, Players Returning, Matt Weiss (WTF), Michigan Football In 2023
Even though it wasn't the smoothest process in the world, Jim Harbaugh is back in Ann Arbor. He's already back out on the recruiting trail doing what he does and it seems like he's poised to lead another extremely successful team in 2023. Unfortunately, Harbaugh's flirtation with the NFL,...
-
Ep. 175: Michigan Football, Jim Harbaugh & Denver Broncos, Blake Corum Returning
We're now two weeks removed from Michigan's unfortunate loss to TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinal, and instead of watching U-M's momentum build and build after a phenomenal season, we're witnessing more turmoil and uncertainty when it comes to head coach Jim Harbaugh's future with the...
-
Ep. 174: Michigan Football, Jim Harbaugh To The NFL, Violations, Transfer Portal
Jim Harbaugh has every right to look around for a better situation for himself and his family. Over the last three seasons, he's made it pretty clear that an opportunity in the NFL would be one of those situations. In 2020, no NFL teams wanted him after the uninspiring 2020 season that ended with…
more -
Ep. 173: Michigan Football Season Recap, Transfers, Jim Harbaugh To NFL, 2023 Look Ahead
For the first part of the podcast, it's all about Jim Harbaugh and his future. Will it be at Michigan? Will it be somewhere in the NFL?

-
Ep. 172: Michigan Football vs. TCU, Press Conferences, Fan-Led Wednesday, College Football Playoff

more -

Ep. 170: Michigan Football vs. TCU, National Signing Day, Fan-Led Wednesday
Today marks the early, December edition of National Signing Day that has essentially become the National Signing Day as somewhere between 70 and 80% of recruits put pen to paper and officially sign with the team of their choice. For Michigan, it was a relatively quite day aside from landing two...
-
Ep. 169: Michigan Football vs. TCU, Jim Harbaugh, JJ McCarthy vs. Max Duggan, Matchup Problems
In the first ever matchup between Michigan and TCU, many see the Wolverines being too much for the Horned Frogs. Whether it's Michigan's running game against a porous TCU rush defense, or U-M's multifaceted pass rush against a TCU offensive line that can get pushed around a bit, it seems like a...
-
Ep. 168: Michigan Football vs. TCU, Fan-led Wednesday, Erick All, Wolverines In CFP
As the entire world gets ready to tune into bowl season, the Michigan Wolverines are two weeks away from taking on the Horned Frogs of TCU in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. Most people still see U-M as the heavy favorite in the game, but as we discuss, TCU is no push over. We…
more -
Ep. 167: Jim Harbaugh Recruiting, TCU, Cade McNamara, NIL, Michigan Football In CFP

-
Ep. 166: Michigan Football vs. TCU, College Football Playoff, Jim Harbaugh, Erick All, Transfers
Michigan is absolutely rolling in 2022. The biggest opponents on the schedule all got served by more than 20 points and the same thing happened to Purdue in the Big Ten Championship. Next up is TCU in the first round of the CFP in the Fiesta Bowl out in Arizona. Everyone paying attention sees...
-
Ep. 165: Michigan Football vs. Purdue, Big Ten Title game, Mazi Smith, Blake Corum, Cade McNamara

-
Ep. 164: Michigan Football vs. Purdue, Fan-Led Wednesday, Big Ten Title Favorites, Jim Harbaugh
Michigan is sitting at 12-0 and is basically a lock to play in the College Football Playoff. But first, U-M will head to Indianapolis to defend its Big Ten title against Purdue. The Wolverines are 16.5-point favorites against the Boilermakers and have the makeup to make it a long night for the...
-
Ep. 163: Michigan Football vs. Purdue, Big Ten Championship, Donovan Edwards, JJ McCarthy, Blake Corum
Michigan absolutely beat down Ohio State. Nothing more needs to be said. Now, it's about getting ready for Purdue in the Big Ten Championship. The Wolverines are favored by 16.5 points over the Boilermakers and should be able to cover. Purdue is 8-4 with losses to Penn State, Syracuse, Wisconsin...
-
Ep. 162: Michigan Football vs. Ohio State, Blake Corum, JJ McCarthy, U-M Defense, Jim Harbaugh
It's finally here. When the 2022 season kicked off, everyone already had the showdown in Columbus circled because of how things played out in 2021 and because it's "The Game". It's unlikely that everyone thought it would be 11-0 vs. 11-0, No. 2 vs. No. 3 or so important to the Big Ten title and...
-
Ep. 161: Michigan Football vs. Ohio State, The Game, Jim Harbaugh & Ryan Day, Blake Corum/Player Health
It's THE GAME...nothing more needs to be said. Especially this year, with both teams being 11-0 and Ohio State sitting at No. 2, Michigan at No. 3. The winner of this game will represent the East in the Big Ten title game and will also punch its ticket to the College Football Playoff. Giddy up!!!
-
Ep. 160: Michigan Football vs. Ohio State, CJ Stroud & JJ McCarthy, Blake Corum, Jim Harbaugh's Words
It's here. It's "The Game" week. It's Michigan vs. Ohio State. It's 11-0 against 11-0. It's No. 2 vs. No. 3. Trips to the Big Ten Championship game and the College Football Playoff are on the line. To say that this weekend's game between U-M and OSU is huge is a monstrous understatement. Jim...
-
Ep. 159: Michigan Football vs. Illinois, Game Predictions, Over/Unders, Blake Corum
Michigan is a big favorite over Illinois, which would make the Wolverines 11-0 ahead of the massive showdown against Ohio State. Everyone knows that the Illini are up first, but there's nothing wrong with putting some attention on the Buckeyes. That game is going to be massively important and for...

Ep. 158: Michigan Football vs. Illinois, Sherrone Moore & Jesse Minter, Blake Corum, U-M Defense
