So For Once in My Life, Let Me Get What I Want

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 13:43:51 +0000

It's Ohio State week. We laughed. I cried. Everybody says the things they most want to happen this week. We also oogle over the amazing depth and consistency from the Wide Receivers in this year's offense. This year's team is 6-7 starters deep at Wideout, which feels pretty unbelievable.

The ingredients are all there to feel good about this program, and that makes me uneasy! Fun podcast with the crew, though.

David Arnold, Harry Hillman, and Stephen Osentoski on the pod today. Enjoy. Go Blue!

Michigan Wins with Performance Only a Father Could Love

Mon, 09 Sep 2019 04:05:00 +0000

Not everything is negative, but a lot is. Biggest positive? Zac Charbonnet is what happens when you inject Mike Hart with Captain America-serum. The Defense was exceptional against a genuinely great triple-option attack.

However, is Josh Gattis being too cute on offense? Did he get too tight late in the game? Are they keeping Shea in to avoid a QB controversy? Why is Shea Patterson playing like a true freshman?
