Coming off a weekend of NCAA tournament watching, Serena and Matt debate the college football "blue blood" landscape, including one hot-ish Big Ten-related take, and then revisit a rather sweet weekend for both Michigan basketball (which is now in pure gravy territory) and Michigan hockey (which has celebrated with one banner and might damn well get another)
