BREAKING: Sherrone Moore fired by Michigan then arrested. What to make of it

Tony and Andrew are back to discuss what went wrong for Michigan football in its 27-9 loss to the Buckeyes. Does this mean Michigan needs to reinvent itself under Sherrone Moore after losing its three biggest games this year? And what would that look like?

Then the guys talk about freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and why his growth seemed to stunt in the second half of the season. Is this another sign that Michigan needs to evolve offensively?

Plus, Tony breaks down Michigan's 2026 recruiting class and some of the big names the Wolverines were able to land to help them sit just outside the top-10 nationally in another really solid class for Moore. 

And last but not least, the guys had to talk about Michigan basketball's routing of San Diego State, Auburn and Gonzaga in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, where the Wolverines put together about as impressive of a three-game stretch as possible. Just how sustainable is it?

What's next for Michigan football after frustrating Ohio State loss? Plus, signing day breakdown

We've been talking about it for weeks and it's finally here. Michigan, fighting for its College Football Playoff life, hosting undefeated Ohio State in Ann Arbor. Tony and Andrew open the show by talking about Michigan's impressive beat down of Maryland in Week 13 and why there were some more positive signs that Michigan will be able to move the ball against the Buckeyes (at least more than most teams). 

Then the guys dive into "The Game" and why the stakes literally couldn't be higher this year for a variety of reasons. And last but not least, Tony and Andrew make their predictions for the season finale and determine what Michigan must do to pull off another upset.

Michigan vs. Ohio State is here and the stakes couldn't be higher

Another week, another too-close-for-comfort win for Michigan football. And even still, the Wolverines are right on track for an epic clash against Ohio State to determine the College Football Playoff. Michigan turned the ball over five times and needed a last second field goal to beat Northwestern, but it still goes in the win column, much like the ugly Purdue game the week before or the MSU one the week before that. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing why this Michigan football team is hard to understand, before talking about some real positives from the win over Northwestern (looking at you, Andrew Marsh). Then the guys quickly discuss the Maryland matchup and what's at stake. 

After the break (22:51) the guys dive into Michigan football's threat of conference independence from Michigan Board of Regents member Jordan Acker. If the private equity-Big Ten deal goes through, is Michigan football really a candidate to become the next Notre Dame?
