26:53

We're wading through the end of fall camp hype and marking a few players who might be unknown to the average Michigan fan (if you're watching or listening to this, that's not you) who will be household names by the season's end.

The inside scoop on advising Connor Stalions amid a political hit job 34:04

34:04

About two days after we started talking to Connor Stalions, and about five days after he was identified as an NCAA person of interest, it became apparent (to us) that this was a political hit job -- not just on him but on Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan. So we went to someone who has a ton of political experience -- Steve Deace, host of…

The Michigan defense has this above most other teams in CFB 28:56

28:56

While we don't want to be mere stenographers for Michigan football and what it says in fall camp, we can glean a lot from what the coaches and players do (and don't) say. On Sunday, defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan met with the media and may have upended some expectations at corner and safety based on what he said about the leaders at both positi…

26:27

While we await some outsider perspectives, such as Big Ten Network making its fall camp stop in Ann Arbor, to get a better understanding of how good Michigan football might be in 2024, we kind of already have one.

Why is the Michigan football defense being underestimated? 25:10

17d ago25:10

25:10

Though many think the Michigan football defense will be very good and an overall top group, those in the national media and college football landscape seem to think there are a lot of others around the country and in the Big Ten that will be better.

Is the demise of the Michigan football offense greatly exaggerated? 28:46

18d ago28:46

28:46

The theme at some of the most recent Michigan football press conferences has surrounded the offense and why perhaps those who think that the Wolverines will fall off a cliff in that area are greatly misinformed.

What changed for Michigan football in 2021 other than Connor Stalions? 27:43

24d ago27:43

27:43

One of the arguments against Michigan football since the Connor Stalions saga began -- and has ramped up as of late -- has been the mere 'asking questions' crowd chiming in with 'Jim Harbaugh was 69-24 in his first six years and 40-3 his last three years' after Connor Stalions was officially hired. 'What changed?' they ask, as if Stalions is the re…

ESPN revealed much of the content of the NCAA draft notice of allegations on Michigan football on Sunday.
