The Bucket Problem

Episode 60: P.J. Fleck's Mail-Order Tactical Sunglasses


Listen Later

After Dan graces us with a voicemail intro, Connor and Taylor join Ace to break down Michigan’s closer-than-anticipated win over Maryland, discuss how it impacted our outlook on the Wolverines, name our Big Ten teams of the week and more.
Topics:
Dan leaves a voicemail. Actually, two voicemails.
The respect bit is over.
Warm and fuzzy homecoming feelings.
An extended discussion of playcalling, game management, the nature of watching games in particular settings and the challenge of separating that initial experience from our postgame analysis.
We very much agree that the sequence to being the second half was bad.
Please don’t stand in the pocket forever, J.J. McCarthy.
Blake Corum: great! The backups with Donovan Edwards out: a problem!
Ace is fed up with Iowa and respecting their chances of winning and we kinda lose the plot for a bit.
Max Bredeson: legit.
Was the pass rush worrisome or was Taulua Tagovailoa just really dang slippery?
Mike Barrett >>> Kalel Mullings right now. Get well soon, Nikhai Hill-Green.
The cornerbacks in particular and the secondary in general were excellent, especially against Maryland’s talented receiving corps.
Gemon Green has been just as good as D.J. Turner this year.
The defense needs to do better getting lined up before the snap.
Connor called shotgun, which means he led the Michigan State discussion.
The Big Ten West is very bad and it should feel bad. Except for Minnesota. Maybe.
Northwestern is go 1-11 with a win over Nebraska.
