1 hour and 25 minutes MGoRadio is a very visual podcast recorded before a live retail audience at The Bo Store, 333 S. Main, where you can hear Brian rolling his eyes at me. Ace is a bit under the weather so Seth (that’s me!) suited up, nailed the awkward intro, and went downhill from there (feel better soon Ace!). If you haven’t checked out Rishi and Ryan’s latest venture, do so. Special guest: Steve Lorenz of 247 Sports, and MGoBlog’s Ace Anbender, who called in to talk hoops. Sponsors The reason we can put out so much audio content now is it’s paid for. The show is presented by the Bo Store, UGP & Moe's and frankly would not be happening without them; Rishi and Ryan and their people have been huge MGoBlog supporters from the start. Our other sponsors are also key in the expanding empire: thanks to Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, Tailgater Concierge, and Peak Wealth Management. 1. Iowa After Review Needed one more thing: Speight fell apart, the guards had some weird plays, the receivers had some drops, Glasgow wasn’t as Glasgow as usual, Taco had one bad edge, McCray versus Akrum Wadley was bad, RPS at the end was swearword-inducing. 2. Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz starts at 23:52 Brady Hoke-approved DL are always welcome, even with a name like Rutger—Michigan still sorting out who they can get out of some very good OL and DL prospects. Pulling Gay out of the Black Hole of Mississippi is possible. Najee Harris optimism incremented. Steve promises to get the 247 people to let us sort by hyphenated names. 3. Ace’s Basketball Podcast starts at 52:54 D.J. Wilson is changing the math for Michigan, which is suddenly huge, can OREB, blocks shots, and lets Duncan Robinson be the off-the-bench three-hunter he was brought in to be. Donlonball is working: Michigan is using their fouls to prevent easy buckets—Beilein even violated autobench! I know! 4. Weird Indiana Is Still Indiana starts at 1:10:02 Rushing offense sputtering out against live defenses (not Maryland) due to severe OL holes that one Dan Feeney can’t paper over. Richad Lagow is scattershot. I love me some Tegray Scales whose name I can’t pronounce, the linebacker this defense is designed to keep clean so he can read and react. Secondary lacks athleticism, gets by with lots of blitzes keeping routes short.
