The Michigan Wolverines are coming off their biggest win of the season, an upset of USC at the Big House, but is Michigan's run-first style sustainable? Tony and Rainer open the show discussing how the Wolverines were able to knock off USC despite throwing the ball just 12 times and how far this team can really go playing that kind of football. Then, the guys preview the Minnesota matchup and talk about what Michigan fans can expect now that the book is out on the Alex Orji-led offense. 



Then after the break, Andrew joins to make predictions for the Michigan (-9) vs. Minnesota game, plus some of the other massive games around the country this weekend, including Alabama vs. Georgia.

Hail Yes! A Detroit Free Press Podcast About University of Michigan Sports

Michigan football rediscovered its identity just in time to beat USC, but is it sustainable?

With Michigan football's second bye week behind us, Tony and Rainer thought it'd be as good of a time as any to look back at some of the many inconsistencies between what Sherrone Moore and his staff indicated would happen and what the product ended up looking like. For example, all offseason the word coming out of the Wolverines' facility was this was going to be an explosive offense, yet the Wolverines have been one of the least affective offensive units in the country. Did Michigan mislead with this rhetoric, or did the staff misidentify the talent? And which is more damning? 

After a lengthy discussion, Andrew joins the show and the guys share their predictions for the Northwestern game and whether or not Michigan can lock up an appearance in a bowl game.

Did Michigan football mislead or misidentify talent on disappointing 2024 team?

Michigan football has hit its second bye week, and at 5-5, it's the perfect time to look at the Wolverines' season from a big-picture view. The guys open the show by talking about the underwhelming season from the coaching staff – top to bottom – and what shakeups could be in order. Then, Tony, Rainer and Andrew have a spirited debate about who is ultimately at fault for Michigan's disastrous season, and whether Sherrone Moore or Jim Harbaugh deserves more blame.

After the break, the guys discuss the groundswell of rumors and noise surrounding Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood and whether the nation's top recruit will flip from LSU to Michigan. Is going all-out on Underwood the right move? And what is the likelihood that the Wolverines actually land the superstar recruit? Then, the crew makes its picks for the college games across the nation this week, and briefly discusses the Michigan basketball squad and what to make of its start.

Who's to blame for Michigan football's season? And can the Wolverines land Bryce Underwood?

It's not everyday that we'd start a show in November talking about basketball over football, but that's just how impressive Michigan basketball was in its first game under Dusty May. The Wolverines smashed Cleveland State, 101-53, in their season opener and looked efficient and smooth while doing so. The biggest star of the day was Yale transfer Danny Wolf, and Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how impressive Wolf was, how real this Michigan performance was and if it's too early to get (really) excited about this year's Michigan basketball squad.

Then after the break, the guys look back on Michigan football's tough loss to Oregon, and if the Wolverines stand any chance against an Indiana squad that suddenly looks like a buzz saw. And last but not least, Andrew joins the guys to make predictions for Michigan's game on the road at Indiana, plus the other biggest games around the country.
