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 b ..read more

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 surp ..read more

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 wha ..read more

The Michigan Wolverines are coming off their biggest win of the season, an upset of USC at the Big House, but is Michigan's run-first style sustainable?

Then, the guys preview the Minnesota matchup and talk about what Michigan fans can expect now that the book is out on the Alex Orji-led offense.
Then after the break, Andrew joins to make predictions for the Michigan (-9) vs. Minnesota game, plus ..read more

It’s another huge week for Michigan football with the Wolverines set to host Big Ten newcomers USC for the first time. However, headlines this week have been dominated by Sherrone Moore announcing that he’s making a change at the quarterback position.

Tony and Rainer debate whether this was the right move and if it signifies a strong change or a sign of further concern.
Then after the break, the guys talk about the matchup with USC and what problems the Trojans present.

For the first time since 2021, the Michigan football team looks to rebound after a regular season loss. The Wolverines fell to No. 16 in the coaches poll after a 31-12 defeat to the Texas Longhorns and now the question is how concerned should U-M fans be?
Tony and Rainer open the show discussing the defeat and perhaps some overlooked areas in the transfer portal. Were coaches too confident about the roster given how things have looked through two weeks? Did Kirk Campbell oversell and under deliver on offense?
After the break, the guys breakout the worry-o-meter and assess each position group ..read more
