  • 8. State champs - Michigan 24, MSU 17

    33:50||Season 2024, Ep. 8
    Another week, another win for Michigan. Ok it came against a mediocre team in year 0 of a rebuild. And it wasn’t always pretty. And the 1st quarter was downright dreadful. But it was a win and a rivalry win, and we’re one more Northwestern win away from a bowl game. On this week's episode we dream up a path to the playoffs, discuss best strategies for surviving the Oregon game as a fan, and give thanks for a most enjoyable second half against MSU.

  • 7. There are good things in the world - Illinois 21, Michigan 7

    34:06||Season 2024, Ep. 7
    It was not another week, it’s been more like 4 weeks. And it was not another win, it’s been 2 losses. But it's still be more than 1750 days since Ohio beat us. On this week's episode, we remind ourselves of good things in the world (think apple cider, donuts, leaf piles), begrudgingly talk about where Michigan goes from here, and pick a team to root for in 2024 now that Michigan is officially out of the CFP.
  • 6. A Win's a Win - Michigan 27, Minnesota 24

    40:23||Season 2024, Ep. 6
    It wasn’t a big win, or against a very good football team, or particularly pretty, or you know fun, but it was a win - and we are technically the #10 in the country. On this week's episode, we treasure the time we get to watch Mullings and Graham, wonder if we should turn the offense into Army 2.0, and discuss what needs to happen for Michigan to go undefeated in October.
  • 5. Hope Springs Eternal - Michigan 27, USC 24

    49:21||Season 2024, Ep. 5
    The haters will hate on 32 passing yards or 9 second half yards until the final drive or a corner blitz without safety help that led to a walk-in touchdown. But haters can’t take away a win over a top-15 team - a win that somehow makes us 1-0 in the Big Ten, and a win that keeps everything on the table for the Wolverines.On this week's episode, we toast to Kalel Mullings (the pride of MA!), rejoice in the return of real football emotions, and wonder how far you can get in 2024 without throwing the football.
  • 4. Let the Orji era begin? - Michigan 28, Arkansas State 18

    36:33||Season 2024, Ep. 4
    Another week, another win for Michigan. It wasn’t the prettiest or one that necessarily leads you to believe there will be a whole lot more to come. But it was a win, and it was a return to form for the run game, and it was a dominant performance from the starting defense, and it was a lot more fun than last weekend.On this week's episode, we welcome the start of the Orji era, call for more Mullings carries, and pray for Loveland's shoulder. We also discuss what needs to go right for Michigan to pull the upset against USC and wonder how much of the success against Arkansas State can hold up against better teams.
  • 3. 1746(!) Days - Texas 31, Michigan 12

    38:57||Season 2024, Ep. 3
    Did you know that it's been 1746 days since Ohio State beat Michigan. That's almost 5 years! That was before COVID! That was a long time ago! On this week's episode, we reflect on a crisp, sunny Saturday in Ann Arbor, marvel at the Texans' hats, and I guess talk about football and where we can find hope to turn the season around.
  • 2. Peaks and Valleys - Michigan 30, Fresno State 10

    46:18||Season 2024, Ep. 2
    It wasn't always pretty or, you know, fun, but there were moments of glory (thank you Will Johnson) and signs of hope for a more fluid offense (hello Kalel Mullings). On this week's episode, we rejoice in the return of football, debate whether it's possible to rattle Matthew McConaughey, and discuss our evolving takes on the 12-team playoff. We also preview our trip together to Ann Arbor and talk about what it will take for Michigan to knock off Texas on Saturday.
