Scarlet and Maize

The Prestige // Football 2023, Week 12

Ohio State dominated Michigan State for the 7th straight season and Michigan beat Penn State by 2 possessions on the road. Big 2, Little 12.

The guys talk for a long little bit about Harbaugh v the Big Ten and Harbaugh v NCAA. That's this whole section.

From there we go into the Scarlet & Maize Picks Standings where this week could really be a defining one if either of the guys get it right. Then, Big Ten Takeaways and the One Step Further Takes on into the Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks and Varsity Games, with special guests Michigan State and Indiana in the battle for worst team in the Big Ten, and our Game of the Week Washington vs Oregon State.

Finally we wrap up with our Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week!

Signs // Football 2023, Week 11

Ohio State and Michigan both won. Ohio State was close for a long while against Rutgers and Michigan was...not...close at any point against Purdue.

We answer a viewer question about the possibility of Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan all making the College Football Playoff and then have some Big Ten Takeaways and our One Step Further Takes. From there we go headfirst into the Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks before talking about Ohio State hosting Michigan State and the Game of the Week as Michigan heads to Happy Valley to take on Penn State.

We wrap things up with our Things No One is Talking About and some Tweets of the Week!

Halloween // Football 2023, Week 10

Don’t Look Away // Football 2023, Week 8

Believe it or not, the episode was named BEFORE the news broke about the NCAA's totally reasonable investigation into Michigan scouting their opponents. But we kick things off by talking about that before getting into Michigan's win over Indiana and Ohio State's win over Purdue.

Update: Nothing new, Adam is still beating Zack in the Picks Standings as he has been all season. From there we answer viewer questions all about head coaching hypotheticals involving Michigan, Ohio State, and Michigan State. We have our Big Ten Takeaways and One Step Further Takes.

From there we dive headfirst into our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks before catching our breath with some real games. Well, Michigan plays for a trophy but Ohio State is in a Top 10 game against Penn State. And one of our picks make it seem like Michigan will have a real game but I'll let you guess if it was Zack or Adam. It was Zack.

Then we wrap things up with some Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week!

What Happens Later // Football 2023, Week 7

Michigan did what they've been doing, this time to Minnesota for the Little Brown Jug. Ohio State struggled again to the point that Zack has real concerns about the Buckeyes for the first time since Adam has known him. Crazy. We're both looking ahead to the Ohio State - Penn State game in just a couple of weeks.

We answer some viewer questions on the new Big Ten schedule that came out, Quinn Ewers' non-mullet, and Michigan's offensive line going against the narrative that the refs are out to get Michigan...for now...

Then we have our Big Ten Takeaways, One Step Further Take, and our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks before we talk about Ohio State's and Michigan's games this week. Game of the Week is Oregon-Washington -- this is where the Pac 12 starts eating itself alive -- and then we talk about our Things No One is Talking About and wrap up with our Tweet of the Week!

Dark Harvest

Ohio State sat at home while Michigan beat the brakes off of Nebraska, in quicker fashion than we expected. Roman Wilson had an awesome catch.

We then updated our Picks Standings, where we had another undefeated week (but not a perfect week, yet again) and answered our Viewer Question asking for our updated College Football Playoff Predictions. From there we went into our Big Ten Takeaways and our One Step Further Takes. Adam says something disgusting about Michigan State football and how they should...try to be more like Iowa football, at least for this year...and we move from that crap into our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, Varsity Games, and our Game of the Week!

We wrap up the show like always with our Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week!

WHERE IS LOU HOLTZ?!

Rudy... // Football 2023, Week 4

We had some technical difficulties but that couldn't stop us from talking about the incredible week of marquee games that was college football week 3.

Michigan "struggled" 31-6 and Ohio State won a lot to a little. Also, Georgia struggled with South Carolina, Florida State beat a bad Boston College on a last second field goal, Penn State struggled with Illinois, Kansas State lost to Missouri, Alabama looked real bad against USF, Tennessee lost to Florida, Colorado State took Deion to overtime, and Texas only beat Wyoming by 21. After RichRod and Brady Hoke (and to a lesser extent, Harbaugh's ancient struggles against Ohio State) Adam is just happy to be at a point in human history where a 31-6 Michigan win causes this much discussion.

Adam was an absolute flamethrower with his picks, getting the show's first ever undefeated week at 13-0. The guys answer a couple of viewer questions: 1) What’s a realistic record for Colorado for the rest of the year?; 2) Who should MSU target for their head coaching search?

Then we have our Big Ten Takeaways before jumping neck deep into our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks and Varsity Game picks, then finally Ohio State against Notre Dame for our Game of the Week! 

Finally we wrap up with our Things No One is Talking About and our Tweet of the Week.

No Hard Feelings // Football 2023, Week 3

35-7 wins for both Michigan and Ohio State but is there really anything to take away from either game? Apparently. 

Some viewer questions focus mainly on Mel Tucker, unsurprisingly, but have Adam remembering something pretty specific from last year and also stuff from the last 13 years.

Big Ten Takeaways, the Rapid Fire Mel Tuck....I mean Turd Pile...Picks, the Varsity games, and a very disappointing Game of the Week. Varsity season starts next week for Michigan and Ohio State.

We wrap up with some Things No One is Talking About and a Tweet of the Week!

Official Competition // Football 2023, Week 2

How did we rate Kyle McCord's debut in Ohio State's low possession, low scoring opener against Indiana? Is there any concern from Zack on the OSU QB room? Michigan beat East Carolina but really there wasn't a whole bunch to say. Then we answer 4 viewer questions before getting into our Big Ten Takeaways. From there we go through our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, and then the varsity games and the Game of the Week. We wrap up, per usual, with our Things No One is Talking About and then our Tweets of the Week!
