Forever Saturday

Serena and Matt rant about the now-standard Michigan State postgame nonsense (and the Sparty fan base's related delusion), discuss Michigan's satisfying third straight win in the series, talk about the mostly "do some bullshit" offense, try to diagnose the frustrating issues on defense, bid farewell to Jack Tuttle, look ahead to a pretty terrifying Oregon game in which there's basically one path to victory, ponder the possibility of a quarterback recruit who shall not be named, and more.

Serena and Matt return from a brief hiatus to discuss two straight brutal performances from the Michigan offense, why the blame falls partially on the QBs but primarily on the coaches, whether there's any hope for this staff (including Sherrone Moore) or when we might pull the plug, the positive glimpses on defense, the misery of the Michigan State game in general, why this year's game will be especially telling given the coaching situations, and more.

Serena and Matt revisit a Michigan win that was two-thirds very good and one-third very bad, debate the progress (or lack thereof) from Alex Orji and the offense, give thanks for Kalel Mullings, unpack what happened to the defense late, do some hypocritical bitching about the officiating, marvel at the beauty of Georgia-Alabama, and preview a Washington team that's quite different from last year's and kinda hard to size up given the gap between the advanced stats (good) and the results (mid).

Serena and Matt revisit Michigan's dramatic win over USC, discuss Kalel Mullings' iconic run and national coming-out party, ponder what this offense can/can't be with Alex Orji at QB, give some props to Wink Martindale, shout out Josiah Stewart (and almost everybody else on defense), and look ahead to a Minnesota team that's very Big Ten West and therefore capable of turning Saturday's game into a rockfight.

Serena and Matt on Michigan's uninspiring but never-in-doubt win over Arkansas State, the switch to Alex Orji and why it's happening now, what it means for the offense going forward, questions about the coaching decisions through Week 3, and a game against USC that feels like a potential turning point (for better or for worse).

Serena and Matt react to an "it's all bad" loss to Texas, debate whether we should be concerned about the defense and/or the running game, break down the problems with QB play and the general offensive structure, share some thoughts on how we got here and what we hope to see going forward, then briefly talk Arkansas State and broader season implications.

Matt hums the theme music—it’s very professional. 

Serena and Matt on what we've learned about the Michigan depth chart heading into Week 1, what we don't yet know about the offense, what to expect against Fresno State, and the general in-going vibes as we recalibrate around a team that's going to be imperfect but still gives us plenty of reasons for the best of things: hope.

Serena and Matt go position-by-position through a Michigan defense that's still loaded with elite players throughout, break down the one unit that's going to take a meaningful step back from what it was in 2023, and wonder whether there are transition costs with Wink Martindale or if this remains the best defense in the country.

Serena and Matt go position-by-position to break down Michigan's 2024 offense, which has *some* turnover (albeit less than a lot of people are claiming) and a couple of critical questions around quarterback play and accompanying philosophy that will determine whether the offense as a whole remains championship-caliber-ish.
