2018 spring game
1 hour and 47 minutes
We are at the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, our gracious hosts and yours this fall if you act fast enough.
We Couldn’t Have One Without the Other
We can do this because people support us. You should support them too so they’ll want to do it again next year! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan there would be VERY long hiatuses between podcasts.
Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad,Human Element, Lantana Hummus and Ecotelligent Homes
---------------------------------
1. The Offense wsg Seth Fisher (that’s me!)
starts at 1:00
Peters is running with the ones, Shea is probably the guy, Milton in the future. Black and DPJ, Crawford moving to 41 is probably not a Lytle reference. We’re all for Gentry in the slot. Offensive line: Hudson is our rooting interest, Onwenu was fine last year, Ruiz is probably real, Runyan at RT isn’t ideal. Super max protect Gentry 500 FTW! I like the way Lewerke.
2. The Defense wsg Seth again (yes THAT me!)
starts at 29:53
The happy section, where we bring up the 2014 Rutgers game, the Cleveland Browns, Brady Hoke Punt Fest 2013, and several times the 2010 defense. Hype for Dwumfour started last year; we disagree somewhat on how ready the redshirt freshmen are. Zordich ornery after his corners were all injured but Ambry. Brian is against safeties. Lots of linebacker weapons. We pronounce Uche correctly.
3. Recruiting Football, Basketball, Hockey
starts at 57:55
Three sports, three football commits, a bazillion hockey commits, and lots of interest in the basketball program. Newburg is a wrastler. Herron is clearly waiting for Stanford admissions to decommit. Stewart committed from Connecticut, his school’s one to watch (2020 ND quarterback commit). Iggy finally jumped to the composite top 50. DeJulius and Castleton late jumps too. Could be better than the Fresh Five class. Girard? Balas thinks so. Hockey crootin.
4. Moritz and Matthews Draft Futures
starts at 1:31:15
This section became a 2018 hoops class segment. Expected Moe to go—unless his arms grew longer he wasn’t going to be a better NBA prospect. Find usage elsewhere, more pick and roll than pop, Teske D on the floor all game. Matthews is going to find out what he needs to work on—has NBA talent but probably won’t get a draft grade.

and what you should be doing for your retirement, and what kind of investment strategy meets your level of risk, it’s really high time you set up that conversation . Also being proactive about this earns you major spousal points that can be spent later on attending Michigan games.

The Question:
Things we would have wanted to see if there was a spring game but there isn't so let's all imagine
…except with defense.
whoa. I wonder how far
this box in a box
thing can go
(sorry)
Brian: No injuries, the end.
Ace: This is kinda short, man.
Seth: Before every Michigan coach jumps in to say "Michael Dwumfour" I'm going to say Michael Dwumfour.
Brian: Ooooh sorry seth that didn't make it before the end of the post.
Ace: Do not tempt the wrath of Don Brown.

Seth: Actually Dwumfour just fired off the line so fast he was already in the post before you typed that.
[After THE JUMP: The snap. Get it?]
shoulda done it today [Patrick Barron]

The Question:
Things we would have wanted to see if there was a spring game but there isn't so let's all imagine

| Imagine a version of McCaffrey that had soft tissue on it. [Chris Cook] |
Ace: Competency!
More specifically, Shea Patterson making some big plays, especially outside the pocket, and Peters/McCaffrey making fewer derpy mistakes.
Seth: I was really looking forward to seeing Shea Patterson doing things that fit the meter of Weapon of Choice.
Ace: …but going to class.
BiSB: I wanted to see Joe Milton throw a ball over those mountains.
Ace: His warmups would be a show. The game itself: possibly a different kind of show.
BiSB: But seriously, it would have been a first look at Milton, nearly a first look at McCaffrey, and a first Harbaugh Offense look at Patterson. There would have been a lot of mental YMRMFSPA recalibration based on this game.
Seth: The reports are all about Shea doing crazy athletic things. His first practice there was supposedly a 75-yard touchdown run that involved a footrace with Metellus, who is definitively not slow. And yeah, we still haven't seen McCaffrey, who's apparently thicc enough now that gravity has a fair shot against a strong gust of wind. I also was planning on watching to see which coach is talking to them between plays.
Ace: I assume Shea is doing a lot of stuff outside the offense because he doesn’t know the system that well yet, but that also could be critical based on… certain other position groups.
Seth: Yes might as well skip past position groups and go right to...
[after THE JUMP: hope?]
