Basketball Episode 6 // Our Own Covid Protocols...Jones

Michigan basketball is back in action after missing two games -- just in time to put a walk-on and 2nd year 6'7" Jace Howard out there against Kofi Cockburn. So we recap that game as well as Ohio State at Wisconsin and Ohio State hosting Penn State. We then preview and predict each of Michigan and Ohio State's next two games and share a couple of Big Ten Thoughts.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (for people who love college football bowl games)!

We kick off with one last turd pile, but this time they're all on a neutral site! Then we preview Ohio State-Utah in the Rose Bowl and Michigan-Georgia in the Orange Bowl for the College Football Playoff. Then a thing no one is talking about and a tweet of the week before Adam and Zack each give their fix to the College Football Playoff.

Basketball Episode 4 // CJ Stroud‘s Villain Origin Story

Maybe you think it doesn't make sense that a basketball episode is named after an Ohio State football player. Well one of our guys is a Michigan fan, whose football jerseys have Michael Jordan on them. It is what it is.

We briefly recap OSU's basketball games against Towson and Wisconsin. Then we do the same for Michigan's basketball games against Nebraska and Minnesota which leads into some viewer questions. What's wrong with Michigan basketball? Is there any hope? What are our updated projections for Top 5 in the Big Ten now that we've seen some more games? We've got a few thoughts on basketball around the Big Ten and around the country, and then we touch on OSU-Kentucky and Michigan-Southern Utah.

We got a few football questions and added them in too. Was Kenneth Walker III snubbed by not getting a Heisman invite? What did each of us think about Desmond Howard cracking jokes at the Heisman ceremony? 

Episode 17 // How Harbaugh Got His Groove Back

Like we've been saying all year, the team from the East destroyed the team from the West. Michigan 49, Iowa 3. Then some other stuff. You know the drill at this point probably.

Episode 16 // The Avengers

Michigan 42 - Ohio State 27. Adam is officially Mr. Brightside. Was it closer to being a Michigan blowout or an Ohio State win? What's more true: That Ryan Day was born on third base or Jim Harbaugh batting 0.100? 

Big Ten Players of the Week are no surprise and Adam has won the Picks Challenge by 4 games. Big Ten Takeaways include a crazy stat about Nebraska.

We (kinda) preview the Big Ten Championship game between Michigan and Iowa. "Kinda" because neither of us expect much of a game. Things No One is Talking About: Cincinnati as a real threat, and Michigan State at all.

Viewer questions, some upcoming basketball predictions, and Tweets of the Week!

Episode 15 // The Game

We recap OSU's win over a high school team and Michigan's 59-18 win over Maryland. Then we....blah blah blah IT'S THE WEEK OF THE GAME!

Ohio State at Michigan for the Big Ten Championship (basically). This is what it's supposed to be. We preview that. That's the point of this show.

Then we answer some viewer questions: Is Mel Tucker overpaid? Funny how the same fanbase who said Harbaugh was overpaid at $5 mil/year for "not having won anything" is on board with paying Tucker almost double that for....having one winning season? Spartans Will! Tweets of the Week. IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. THE rivalry. THE Game. In THE largest football stadium in the world. For all the Big Ten marbles. Could this be the year Michigan turns the tide against Ohio State? Probably not but let's find out!
