Ryan and Tom are joined by New York Times best-selling author and University of Michigan historian John U. Bacon for a fun-filled Thanksgiving podcast, previewing Michigan and Ohio State on the gridiron. Ryan incorrectly guesses John’s middle name, but gets him to reveal his prediction for the game and his fondest memories of the rivalry. Tom asks about the heel turn of Greg Mattison from the Wolverines to the Buckeyes, and how that might impact the temperature of the battle. Highlights from Mark Dantonio’s press conference are featured, along with the guys making predictions against the spread for Michigan State-Maryland, as well as The Game itself. Looking back on MSU Basketball’s performance in Maui, along with Michigan getting started against Iowa State in the Battle 4 Atlantis in The Bahamas.
