  • 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 live in the moment of a very enjoyable Saturday. We also, debate what it means moving forward and preview a big game in Lincoln on Saturday.

  • 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 bemoan a tough night in Norman, debate how bad it actually was, and discuss what we hope to see in a get-right game Saturday against Central.

  • 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 offensive game plan, and preview a much stiffer test this week.

  • 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 the Maize and Blue will take the field. Welcome to another season of 16 Saturdays.


    On this episode, we thank the greats of last year, reminisce on the beautiful two-game season that was, and look forward to 2025. We get hyped about the defense, debate what it would take to get the offense to passable, and offer our predictions on the year to come. Who's got it better than us?

  • 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 have come under heat this season (good job Wink!), celebrate the 4-0 senior class, and celebrate the act of flag planting. We also discuss what this game means for the Moore era at Michigan and debate whether it will end the Day era in Columbus.


    It doesn't get better than this.

  • 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 dream up a path to the playoffs, discuss best strategies for surviving the Oregon game as a fan, and give thanks for a most enjoyable second half against MSU.

  • 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 where Michigan goes from here, and pick a team to root for in 2024 now that Michigan is officially out of the CFP.

  • 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 2.0, and discuss what needs to happen for Michigan to go undefeated in October.

  • 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 table for the Wolverines.


    On this week's episode, we toast to Kalel Mullings (the pride of MA!), rejoice in the return of real football emotions, and wonder how far you can get in 2024 without throwing the football.

  • 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 fun than last weekend.


    On this week's episode, we welcome the start of the Orji era, call for more Mullings carries, and pray for Loveland's shoulder. We also discuss what needs to go right for Michigan to pull the upset against USC and wonder how much of the success against Arkansas State can hold up against better teams.
