ESPN's resident SEC expert Paul Finebaum joins Hail Yes to discuss the upcoming Rose Bowl showdown between Michigan and Alabama. Amongst other things, Finebaum, who has been a well-known critic of Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh, said he would be surprised if the coach was still with the Wolverines after this season with all of the "baggage" that has built up over his tenure.

Plus, Tony and Rainer ask Finebaum which quarterback he'd rather have in the matchup, who he thinks will win, and much more ahead of the game on New Year's Day.

ESPN's Paul Finebaum joins the show to talk Michigan vs. Alabama, Jim Harbaugh and more

Tony and Andrew are back to discuss Michigan locking up the Big Ten regular season crown with wins over Minnesota and Illinois and how Michigan can make history and join an elite crowd with a win at Iowa. Then the guys break down the L.J. Cason injury, how it alters Michigan's team and who must step up. Plus, Tony and Andrew look ahead to the final regular season games against the Hawkeyes and MSU. Does Michigan have an edge because they've got no pressure with everything already locked up? Or does MSU come in more hungry with seeding still to play for. And last but not least, who are some potential matchups for Michigan in March Madness?

How Michigan basketball replaces L.J. Cason, preview of MSU game and U-M's chance to make history

It came down to the wire, but ultimately Michigan basketball came up just short against Duke on Saturday. So what went for the Wolverines against the Blue Devils? Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing a fun but ultimately disappointing game for Michigan, and why the loss will almost certainly pay dividends when things really matter in March and April. Plus, the guys discuss Michigan's dominant win over Purdue and why it's easily among the best wins of the season in the Big Ten. Last but not least, Tony and Andrew look at the rest of the season for Michigan basketball, including the game on Tuesday, when the Wolverines can lock up a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a victory over the Gophers.

Why Michigan basketball's week is still a success, even with loss to Duke

It feels like we keep saying this, but what a huge week for Michigan basketball. Tony and Andrew had a lot to talk about, from recapping Michigan's two double-digit wins over Northwestern and UCLA, to previewing the games against Purdue and Duke. The guys discuss the intriguing matchups in both games and why a big week could pretty much lock up the No. 1 overall seed.
