• Did Michigan football mislead or misidentify talent on disappointing 2024 team?
    Nov 21 2024

    With Michigan football's second bye week behind us, Tony and Rainer thought it'd be as good of a time as any to look back at some of the many inconsistencies between what Sherrone Moore and his staff indicated would happen and what the product ended up looking like. For example, all offseason the word coming out of the Wolverines' facility was this was going to be an explosive offense, yet the Wolverines have been one of the least affective offensive units in the country. Did Michigan mislead with this rhetoric, or did the staff misidentify the talent? And which is more damning?

    After a lengthy discussion, Andrew joins the show and the guys share their predictions for the Northwestern game and whether or not Michigan can lock up an appearance in a bowl game.

  • Who's to blame for Michigan football's season? And can the Wolverines land Bryce Underwood?
    Nov 14 2024

    Michigan football has hit its second bye week, and at 5-5, it's the perfect time to look at the Wolverines' season from a big-picture view. The guys open the show by talking about the underwhelming season from the coaching staff – top to bottom – and what shakeups could be in order. Then, Tony, Rainer and Andrew have a spirited debate about who is ultimately at fault for Michigan's disastrous season, and whether Sherrone Moore or Jim Harbaugh deserves more blame.

    After the break, the guys discuss the groundswell of rumors and noise surrounding Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood and whether the nation's top recruit will flip from LSU to Michigan. Is going all-out on Underwood the right move? And what is the likelihood that the Wolverines actually land the superstar recruit? Then, the crew makes its picks for the college games across the nation this week, and briefly discusses the Michigan basketball squad and what to make of its start.

  • Is Michigan basketball THAT good? Plus Indiana football preview
    Nov 7 2024

    It's not everyday that we'd start a show in November talking about basketball over football, but that's just how impressive Michigan basketball was in its first game under Dusty May. The Wolverines smashed Cleveland State, 101-53, in their season opener and looked efficient and smooth while doing so. The biggest star of the day was Yale transfer Danny Wolf, and Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how impressive Wolf was, how real this Michigan performance was and if it's too early to get (really) excited about this year's Michigan basketball squad.

    Then after the break, the guys look back on Michigan football's tough loss to Oregon, and if the Wolverines stand any chance against an Indiana squad that suddenly looks like a buzz saw. And last but not least, Andrew joins the guys to make predictions for Michigan's game on the road at Indiana, plus the other biggest games around the country.

    Oct 24 2024

Tony and Rainer open the show by talking about how Michigan and Sherrone Moore got in this position in the first place and how it can be resolved.

    Then after the break, the guys discuss who has the advantage between the Wolverines and Spartans on offense, defense, and special teams and which team has the better coaching staff. Last but not least, Tony, Rainer and Andrew share their predictions for the rivalry game and take a look at some of the other big games around the country.

  • What to make of Michigan naming Jack Tuttle starting QB ahead of Illinois game
    Oct 17 2024

    With a new quarterback under center and half the season behind them, it's a perfect time for the Michigan Wolverines (4-2) to turn the page on a frustrating season thus far. The Wolverines have named 25-year-old veteran quarterback Jack Tuttle as their starting quarterback coming off the bye week after Tuttle came into the game in relief against Washington in Week 6. Tony and Rainer start the show by discussing whether or not the second QB switch this season can change Michigan's year and if Tuttle is the guy to lead the Wolverines.

    After a quick break, the guys preview the matchup with a surprisingly-tough Illinois squad, where the Wolverines are a 3½-point favorite on the road. And last but not least, Andrew joins the show and the guys make some picks for some huge games across the country.

  • Midseason review for Michigan football: What went wrong for Wolverines and what can improve?
    Oct 11 2024

    It certainly wasn't the start to the season anyone around the Michigan football program would've dreamed of, especially aesthetically, but there's a lot of football to play for the Wolverines. With six games completed and a bye week on the schedule, Tony and Rainer sit down to give the Wolverines some grades at the midpoint of the season. How bad were the quarterbacks? Was there anything positive on the offense? And what should we make of Michigan's defense under Wink Martindale.

    Then after the break, the guys talk about where Michigan can improve in the second half of the season and what can be reasonably expected.

  • Will Michigan football ever be able to fix its offense?
    Oct 3 2024

    Time to hit the road! For the first time this season, the Michigan Wolverines will play a game away from the Big House after going 4-1 in their opening slate in Ann Arbor. The road trip isn't coming at a great time, though, as the Wolverines offense continues to sputter. Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how Michigan's offense really made no tangible strides after the ugly win over USC and what that means going forward.

    After the first break, the guys talk about the Washington matchup and how the Wolverines matchup against a Huskies team that will look completely different from the team Michigan beat in the national title game just a few months ago.

    And last but not least, Andrew joins the show and the guys make predictions for who will win the Michigan game, plus other games around the country.
