With spring football well underway, we're starting to learn more about the upcoming rendition of Michigan football. Looking ahead, Tony comes up with five hot takes for Michigan football in 2024, with Rainer and Andrew rating the takes on a scale of 1-5, with a 1 being "not that crazy" and a 5 being "that's totally crazy."

The guys talk about everything from Michigan's defense returning to its 2023 dominance to Donovan Edwards' role as the lead back, with even some talk about Rainer's (supposedly) really good cooking in between.

5 biggest questions facing Michigan football in 2024

Man, what a crazy academic year it was for Michigan athletics. From a national championship to multiple suspensions for Jim Harbaugh to new coaches in football and basketball in a matter of months, this year pretty much had it all.

As we approach the summer months – a slower time in the college sports landscape – we thought it would be the perfect time to rank the most memorable moments from 1-10 from an unforgettable year. Rainer and Tony break down their rankings and discuss what will be the No. 1 thing they'll remember from this season 20 years down the road.
