  • What's next for Michigan football after frustrating Ohio State loss? Plus, signing day breakdown
    Dec 5 2025

    Tony and Andrew are back to discuss what went wrong for Michigan football in its 27-9 loss to the Buckeyes. Does this mean Michigan needs to reinvent itself under Sherrone Moore after losing its three biggest games this year? And what would that look like?

    Then the guys talk about freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and why his growth seemed to stunt in the second half of the season. Is this another sign that Michigan needs to evolve offensively?

    Plus, Tony breaks down Michigan's 2026 recruiting class and some of the big names the Wolverines were able to land to help them sit just outside the top-10 nationally in another really solid class for Moore.

    And last but not least, the guys had to talk about Michigan basketball's routing of San Diego State, Auburn and Gonzaga in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, where the Wolverines put together about as impressive of a three-game stretch as possible. Just how sustainable is it?

  • Michigan vs. Ohio State is here and the stakes couldn't be higher
    Nov 25 2025

    We've been talking about it for weeks and it's finally here. Michigan, fighting for its College Football Playoff life, hosting undefeated Ohio State in Ann Arbor. Tony and Andrew open the show by talking about Michigan's impressive beat down of Maryland in Week 13 and why there were some more positive signs that Michigan will be able to move the ball against the Buckeyes (at least more than most teams).

    Then the guys dive into "The Game" and why the stakes literally couldn't be higher this year for a variety of reasons. And last but not least, Tony and Andrew make their predictions for the season finale and determine what Michigan must do to pull off another upset.

  • Could Michigan football really leave the Big Ten and go independent?
    Nov 19 2025

    Another week, another too-close-for-comfort win for Michigan football. And even still, the Wolverines are right on track for an epic clash against Ohio State to determine the College Football Playoff. Michigan turned the ball over five times and needed a last second field goal to beat Northwestern, but it still goes in the win column, much like the ugly Purdue game the week before or the MSU one the week before that. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing why this Michigan football team is hard to understand, before talking about some real positives from the win over Northwestern (looking at you, Andrew Marsh). Then the guys quickly discuss the Maryland matchup and what's at stake.

    After the break (22:51) the guys dive into Michigan football's threat of conference independence from Michigan Board of Regents member Jordan Acker. If the private equity-Big Ten deal goes through, is Michigan football really a candidate to become the next Notre Dame?

  • Can Michigan football reset Bryce Underwood before final stretch?
    Nov 12 2025

    The first order of business for Michigan football during its bye week was to get healthy, but not far behind that was to hit a hard reset for star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. The two games before the bye week against Michigan State and Purdue were not pretty for Michigan's passing attack and the week off presented an opportunity for a reboot. Will it be enough to carry the Wolverines to a victory over Northwestern?

    Tony and Andrew discuss what should be a fun game at Wrigley Field and make their predictions for the game and for the big games across the country.

  • Just how good is Michigan basketball? And can Michigan football EVER figure out passing game?
    Nov 6 2025

    The most glorious (and tiring) part of the college sports season is upon us, as Michigan football is in the meat of its season and the basketball team's regular season slate has started. Michigan basketball's season opener against Oakland was so impressive, Tony and Andrew had to start the show by breaking it down. Michigan smashed Oakland, 121-78, and had its highest scoring first half in school history as just about everyone was clicking on all cylinders in the blowout victory. So just how good can this Michigan hoops team be? The guys break that down and get into the X's and O's of how Michigan was able to look so dominant.

    In the second half of the show, Tony and Andrew take a big-picture look at Michigan football's first nine games the season by looking backwards and looking forwards. What's the biggest question answered by the team in the first nine games? And what is the biggest question this team still has to answer?

  • Michigan continues domination of MSU rivalry as path to CFP gets clearer
    Oct 30 2025

    Michigan football just keeps taking care of business as its path to the College Football Playoff continues to solidify. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing Michigan's win over Michigan State and how the Wolverines were able to beat the Spartans while not playing their best. Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood didn't even crack 100 yards against MSU but the Wolverines still comfortably won. Is that cause for concern long-term?

    Then the guys discuss how more and more, it's looking like Michigan's entire season is going to come down to the final week of the season when they host Ohio State at the Big House. Tony and Andrew also preview the Purdue game and make predictions for the game before a quick look at the Michigan basketball program who is 1-1 in the exhibition slate. Are the expectations around this Michigan team the highest they've been in a decade?
