It's been a week of nonstop noise for Michigan football coming off a second straight loss for the Wolverines. From Jake Butt to Devin Gardner to Urban Meyer, everyone has had something to say about Michigan's start under Kyle Whittingham, but does the first-year coach have the right tone to match the energy in Ann Arbor? Shawn Windsor and Andrew Birkle break it all down on the Freep Sports Show.

Then, Michigan State football is 2-3 after a blowout loss against Wisconsin in Week 5 and Pat Fitzgerald's first season is starting to look like a mess. With homecoming on the docket, MSU athletic director Dan Bartholomae addressed fans in a letter and promised better funding for the football program. Shawn Windsor and Andrew Birkle discuss Bartholomae's letter, if the NIL funding will actually make a difference and if MSU is just too broke to compete right now on the latest episode of the Freep Sports Show.
