Let the Orji era begin? - Michigan 28, Arkansas State 18

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.

    Another week, another win for Michigan - and Will, at long last, we are here again.

  • 8. Why do I watch sports? Michigan 24, Northwestern 22

    40:27||Season 2025, Ep. 8
    Another week, another win for Michigan. 24-22 over Northwestern in a game that really was the best of times, the worst of times. I laughed, cried, swore at the TV, and nearly swore off fandom before exhaling deeply and trying to move on with my day all in one 3 hour window. On this week's episode, we celebrate 95% of what we saw on Saturday, especially the ascendence of Andrew Marsh, we pray for Jordan Marshall's shoulder, and we peak ahead to Thanksgiving weekend.

    31:14||Season 2025, Ep. 7
    Another week, another win for Michigan. 31-20 over Michigan State in a game that Will, 4 days later, doesn’t have a lot that stands out. But it is a rivalry win, it does mean that Paul is staying in Ann Arbor, and Michigan still maybe has a path to a championship.On this week's episode we discuss:The ascendence of Jimmy Rolder and Jyaire HillHow nice it is to have a good run game and half time adjustments that workRoad BryceHow we can get paid $54m to not workOur rankings for the current job openings (we are available for LSU if they want to pay us $54m to not work)The abundance of night games this year and their problems for parents of young kids
  • 6. Redemption? - Michigan 24, Washington 7

    36:39||Season 2025, Ep. 6
    Another week, another win for Michigan. 24-7 over Washington. Jordan Marshall looks like Mike Hart. Bryce is a couple dropped passes away from a JJ-type stat line. Andrew Marsh looks like the WR we were promised. And the defense has a few wobbles, but man it looks a whole lot better than last week.On this week's episode we discuss:The responsible ways to behave after lossesWhether Wink can save his job with a strong end of the seasonThe prospect of a legit offense in 26 and beyondThe wisdom of night games in Ann Arbor in late fallOur strong desire for Michigan to beat Sparty on Saturday

    38:42||Season 2025, Ep. 6
    Another week, another win for Michigan. Bryce throws for 270. We have a receiver go for over 100. Haynes keeps his 100 yard streak alive. The defense basically shuts down Wisconsin after the first drive. Nick is there with Dad, Jeremy, and Dalia for her first trip to the Big House. On this week's episode we break down a fun day in Ann Arbor, call for more deep shots to McCaulley, and preview a big test at USC this weekend.
  • 5. Sack Party - Michigan 30, Nebraska 27

    38:30||Season 2025, Ep. 5
    It wasn’t always pretty or relaxing, but it was a road win in a hostile environment against an undefeated team who might have one of the top 3 QBs in the country. On this week's episode, we break down a thrilling win in Lincoln, tip our cap to Chip Lindsey, question Wink's third down approach, and debate the ethics of drinking apple cider when you're playing a team whose colors are red.
  • 4. Are We Back On? - Michigan 63, Central Michigan 3

    37:25||Season 2025, Ep. 4
    63 points is nice. Bryce running for 100+ is nice. The O-line paving CMU for almost 400 yards on the ground is nice. Biff Poggi making Batman references is nice (even if Will has issues with it). The question is: does any of this extend past Central Michigan?On this week's episode, we try to live in the moment of a very enjoyable Saturday. We also, debate what it means moving forward and preview a big game in Lincoln on Saturday.
  • 3. Please Not Again - Oklahoma 24, Michigan 13

    32:31||Season 2025, Ep. 3
    These a lot more fun when we get to start with another week, another win for Michigan. This was not one of those weeks. Michigan technically only lost by 11 on the road at night to an SEC team that everyone thinks might be pretty good, but it sure felt worse than that. On this week's episode, we bemoan a tough night in Norman, debate how bad it actually was, and discuss what we hope to see in a get-right game Saturday against Central.
  • 2. The Second Coming? - Michigan 34, New Mexico 17

    40:29||Season 2025, Ep. 2
    Bryce looked the part. Marlin Klein did his best Colston Loveland 2.0. Justice Haynes had my almost 2-year-old fist pumping. And the defense was basically what we hoped they'd be. Can they do it again in Norman this week? On this week's episode, we celebrate the return of football, tip our cap to the offensive game plan, and preview a much stiffer test this week.
