Forever Saturday

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.

Serena and Matt are back from hiatus to talk post-natty offseason vibes, draft emotions, Michigan spring game takeaways, the problem (?) at quarterback, the Big Ten commercial that must be salvaged, and more.

Serena and Matt react to Jim Harbaugh's departure, mourn the end of an era (maybe the best in modern Michigan football history?), reflect on why this was the only possible perfect ending, and share some thoughts on the next chapter, presumably to be written by Sherrone Moore.

Serena and Matt linger in the confetti and glory, bid farewell to some of the greatest of Michigan Men, and revisit the plays/moments that turned Team 144 into national champions.

Serena and Matt revel in Michigan's national championship game win (!!!) over Washington, look back at the media nonsense and how Michigan put all the storylines to bed, talk about the players who stayed and became legends, and share some emotional thoughts about a title that was a long, long time coming.

Serena and Matt talk Michigan-Washington for the national title (!): why this is the matchup Michigan probably wanted, what still terrifies us about Washington, takeaways from the Sugar Bowl, and one last moment of appreciation before Team 144 takes the field for the last time -- with *everything* there for the taking.
