16 Saturdays

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 season), discuss ways to improve the stadium experience (TB12 flag football games?), and preview Michigan State.

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 Big House, and apply lessons from the team to our own lives (cold shower anyone?).

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.

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 our dream Saturdays, and get excited for the start of the Big Ten season.

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, and aren't that worried about the run game. We also buy into the Texas hype, give props to Coach Prime, and discuss the impending end of the Mel Tucker era at MSU.

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 passing game's success (or the running game's lack thereof), and celebrate the return of football. We also discuss our belief in Colorado, decide whether the Clemson dynasty is officially dead, and debate if FSU has already punched a ticket to the CFP.

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 lifetimes, and debate what success for this team could look like. We also preview a wide open CFP race, make Heisman picks, and discuss conference realignment.

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 toast the ascendance of Will Johnson and Colston Loveland, tip our caps to JJ and Donovan, and discuss the departures of Cade and Erick All.

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 afterglow of the most glorious win of our lives (except maybe last year's version). We talk about what this win means to both programs, wonder at the miracle that brought us from the lows of 2020 to this point, and offer thanks to the coaches and players who have filled this season with so much joy. Who's got it better than us?

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 year’s worth of bragging rights. In our annual live pregame podcast, we preview The Game, talk about what needs to go right for Michigan to win (it went right!), and are joined by a number of members of the 16 Saturdays family.
