  • Great Lakes Divide Podcast: Oct 24, 2018 - Part II
    Part II: Ryan and Adam continue with pondering what set Mark Dantonio off
    on the teleconference with Adam (it rhymes with “Him Jarbaugh”), and break
    down the health of Brian Lewerke vs. the readiness of Rocky Lombardi.
    Dantonio offers Ryan his thoughts on practice reps this week, and what it
    will take for Lewerke to be ready to play against Purdue. Dantonio also
    defends his offensive line to an extent, citing a collective breakdown on
    offense that is contributing to their struggles as a team. Brian Lewerke
    and Rocky Lombardi speak to Ryan about their preparation for Saturday’s
    showdown with the Boilermakers.

    Ryan and Adam discuss the “Bitter Green” rivalry for Michigan State, with
    answers from Mark Dantonio on his end-game calculus and philosophy - as
    well as whether he compares notes with other coaches on common opponents.
    The guys explain the difference between Dantonio coaching tree and
    alliances… and Jim Harbaugh Island. Brian Lewerke describes the scene at
    Penn State, where injuries had depleted nearly his entire receiving corps.
    Joe Bachie and Khari Willis discuss the aftermath of their players-only
    team meeting and its impact on their win over the Nittany Lions. The issue

  • Great Lakes Divide Podcast: Oct 17, 2018 - Part I: Midweek Hate Week, Focus On Wolverines vs. MSU
    Adam and Ryan discuss the dominating victory for Michigan over Wisconsin,
    and where it goes from here as the Wolverines head into East Lansing to
    face the Spartans. Adam asks Jim Harbaugh about his depth chart at
    quarterback, and Harbaugh (shockingly) answers. Adam also talks to
    Michigan’s Ambry Thomas about his personal friendship and rivalry with
    fellow Detroit King alum and current Spartan Tyriq Thompson. Adam also asks
    Mark Dantonio about the deception of trick plays, going both ways. Ryan
    discusses with Adam the merits of shared opponent Northwestern, the
    struggles of Brian Lewerke, and who in the Big Ten still has a path to a
    College Football Playoff berth. Pop Evil’s “In the Big House” is featured,
