  We Have the Kid That's Faster Than Everybody Else

  Oct 1, 202651 minS3

  Michigan finally looked like the team we’ve been waiting for, which naturally means they lost. Bryce Underwood had his best game yet, the defense did its job, and one late comedy of errors turned a winnable game against Iowa into another frustrating Saturday. We break down what actually looked encouraging, what still isn’t working, and why the Wolverines might finally be ready to open things up against Minnesota. Then it’s on to the Lions, where Jared Goff is dealing, the offensive line is settling in, and Jahmyr Gibbs continues to make NFL defenders look like they’ve been assigned to chase the fast kid at recess. We talk Detroit’s win, the emergence of some unexpected contributors, the battered Panthers waiting in primetime, and whether this is finally the week the Lions drop 40 on somebody.

  We Got Dortched

  Sep 23, 20261h 5mS3

  Comedian and author Joel Walkowski joins us this week to talk Lions, Wolverines, and the particular kind of brain damage that comes from caring this much about football. Joel is also the author of Honolulu Blues: How Loving a Losing Football Team Created a Winning Man , his new book about Lions fandom, family, and surviving decades of disappointment. You can check it out here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Honolulu-Blues/Joel-Walkowski/9781637749043 We get into Michigan’s uneven start, Bryce Underwood’s progress, the offensive line, and the upcoming Iowa matchup before turning to the Lions’ loss to Buffalo, the state of the secondary, Brian Branch, Jahmyr Gibbs, the Jets matchup, and whether Aaron Glenn knows this roster a little too well. And after watching former Lion Greg Dortch make a play against Detroit, we arrive at the only reasonable conclusion: we got Dortched.

  Episode #3

  We Are So Back!

  Sep 16, 202645 minS3

  Michigan football has officially dragged us back in. After a miserable opener, the Wolverines look like an entirely different team against Oklahoma, with Bryce Underwood making smarter decisions, the defense absolutely flying around, and Michigan suddenly giving us reasons to believe again. We break down Bryce’s progress, Jordan Marshall’s slow start, the offensive line’s growing pains, an absurd number of penalties, and a defense that already looks terrifying. We also look ahead to UTEP, make some bold predictions, discuss whether Michigan might spend the entire season playing exactly to the level of its competition, and celebrate the deeply stressful experience of watching every team you love and hate play a close game at the same time. Plus: Ohio State schadenfreude, Rick Mahorn, the Detroiters, the greatest job in football, and the important question of whether anyone on this podcast can remember a player’s name without a set of trading cards in front of them.

  Episode #2

  Oh My God, We Lost. Oh My God, We Won.

  Sep 9, 20261h 10mS3

  Michigan football is back, and somehow we’re already exhausted. The guys break down the Wolverines’ bizarre escape against Western Michigan, Bryce Underwood’s rough outing, an offensive line that looked completely overwhelmed, the defense keeping the game alive, and the clock controversy surrounding the miraculous finish. After one game, expectations have gone from playoff dreams to simply hoping everyone figures out what they’re doing before Ohio State. Naturally, that means it’s also time for some extremely reasonable predictions about Oklahoma. Then it’s over to the Detroit Lions, where the mood is considerably less bleak. We talk about the revamped defensive line, Aidan Hutchinson potentially lining up all over the field, Jahmyr Gibbs becoming the center of the offense, concerns about the secondary and offensive line, and why this might finally be the year. Plus: food poisoning, manual car payments, swinger speculation, Aaron Sorkin calling plays, the Legion of Whom, and John making it very clear that if you’re not wearing Honolulu Blue, he does not wish you well.

  The Michigan Wolverines are a Proper Football Team Again

  Sep 4, 202643 minS3

  Season 3 is here, and with John and Zach unavailable, Alex and Mike are left unsupervised to convince themselves that the Michigan Wolverines are a proper football team again. They break down Bryce Underwood’s development, Michigan’s suddenly promising defensive line and secondary, the improved offensive line, a loaded backfield, and why having coaches who appear to coach their players could be a meaningful competitive advantage. They also predict Michigan’s record, identify Oregon and Indiana as the most likely losses, discuss the increasingly joyless experience of interacting with Ohio State fans, and make some extremely confident Week 1 predictions that will almost certainly be preserved forever for use against them. Plus: Harrison Township comedy, rich people on pills, Alex’s completely legal home media empire, Lloyd Carr, Ken Griffey Jr., and the triumphant return of believing everything coaches say during training camp.
