Serena and Matt return to the show by previewing Michigan's offense, which almost literally can't be worse but could be massively better, depending on the Bryce Underwood Let's Roll Experience, the magnitude of the O-coordinator upgrade, the potential Nico Collins clone, and the running back tandem that might be as good as any in the country.

Serena and Matt share their takeaways from Michigan's dramatic-ish ReliaQuest/Wurkin Bowl win (including Jordan Marshall looking like The Next One at running back), offer some Michigan-specific New Year's resolutions (ranging from kick-return prohibitions to Madden kids), and decide on rooting interests in a borderline worst-case-scenario CFP final four.

Serena and Matt break down Michigan's latest exits and portal additions (including Mikey Keene and Justice Haynes), learn about some unknown bowl game sponsors, discuss the expectations and handful of things we're actually interested in finding out against Alabama, marvel at Bryce Underwood and the Pop-Tarts Bowl's marketing team, and share some thoughts on the first-round CFP results/discourse.

Serena and Matt discuss the hiring of Chip Lindsey as offensive coordinator, break down what he is/what he means for the offense, talk through Michigan's portal losses and potential adds based on early rumblings, revisit an absolutely loaded recruiting class (one that isn't just about Bryce Underwood), touch on Ohio State legally enshrining its softness, share some thoughts on the CFP and our favorite first-round matchups, and more.

Serena and Matt react to a Michigan win over Ohio State that was even funnier than we imagined given how it played out, break down the on-field how and why, discuss The Ryan Day Problem and the Ohio State fanbase's realization that there are no excuses left, share some thoughts on an emblematic "fake tough" display after the game (and an absurd media meltdown in the aftermath), and much more.

Serena and Matt react to the Bryce Underwood commitment, talk about what it means for Michigan in 2025 and beyond, revisit a 2023-esque beatdown of Northwestern, debate Wink Martindale's future, and then look ahead to an edition of The Game with limited paths to victory but some potentially very funny and very legendary outcomes.

Serena and Matt revisit a few listener questions, ponder Bryce Underwood and the QB options expected to become available in the portal, debate some potential offensive coordinator candidates as the hiring cycle begins, rant about the logic (or lack thereof) in the latest CFP rankings, preview a probably ugly Northwestern game, bid farewell to the Michigan seniors (and a few notable juniors), and more.

After an unplanned week off, Serena and Matt react to Michigan's frustrating loss to Indiana, share some can't-be-ignored concerns about Sherrone Moore's game/program management, break down two straight not-good-enough performances from the offense, revisit the Coordinator Hot Seat Index, give some props to the defense, do some future-casting at QB, and more.

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.
