1. Sherrone Moore and the Coaching Staff
Starts at 1:00
Sherrone is rounding out his staff - Kirk Campbell is the offensive coordinator, Grant Newsome is the offensive line coach, and Steve Casula is the tight ends coach. We're projecting that Ron Bellamy and Mike Hart are returning (Mike Hart's absence from certain events were just him going through some personal stuff, per Sam Webb). It looks like Mike Elston and Steve Clinkscale are back so far. There's a linebacker and defensive coordinator spot open (the 3rd Ravens guy is off the board). If they bring in long-tenured NFL guys, can they recruit? Could Michigan start pulling coaches from two NFL franchises moving forward?
[The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]
2. Hockey vs Ohio State
Starts at 23:27
Michigan swept Ohio State, just like football as you might recall, but Ohio State is pretty bad at hockey this year. The Friday game felt like one that could fall apart but they came up ahead. The Saturday game felt like Michigan was on the doorstep and just had to finish it. They're looking like they're rounding into a tournament team, especially with their World Juniors guys back. Michigan was finally on the other side of five minute majors!
3. Hot Takes and... State of the Basketball Program
Starts at 49:34
Takes hotter than Rutgers basketball with five minutes left in a basketball game against Michigan. Rutgers went on a 37-12 run to end the game, and Rutgers has one of the worst offenses in the Big Ten. What is going on in the locker room? What is the culture of this team and who's even in charge of what? It's year five but there are only two guards on the roster and two open roster spots. There's no reason to retain Juwan.
4. Just Naming Guys
Starts at 1:16:15
No, really. They're just naming guys. It was this or another basketball segment. Seth's story about a football player with magic powers was critiqued by a Michigan football player. The Commissioner of this segment had to step in to vacate a #2 guy. Leave five guys in the comments (as in Michigan football players, not the food).

Sione Houma
J'Marick Woods
February 5th, 2024 at 9:26 AM ^
Ole Woods.
They used to call him that because he laid the wood. And his name was Woods.
February 5th, 2024 at 10:09 AM ^
Sione is one of my favorite players of the Harbaugh era. I feel like he gets forgotten a lot because one of my other favorite Harbaugh players - Khalid Hill - came right after him, but man Sione was a lot of fun and was another guy who was getting wasted on Hoke's teams who immediately popped when Harbaugh got here (along with AJ Williams)
February 5th, 2024 at 11:06 AM ^
No, I remember him. When Harbaugh first arrived he combed through the roster and saw we had no QBs but two excellent fullbacks and went "FB dive". While Rudock was getting over his Iowa PTSD, IIRC Brian called the offense a "hippopotamus-shaped Air Raid" and I loved it.
For a few weeks at least those dives went for ridiculous yardage. Like 20, 30, 50 yards. It's like the entire conference had forgotten what a fullback was.
February 5th, 2024 at 1:14 PM ^
I loved those quick FB handoffs so much those first two seasons.
February 5th, 2024 at 4:34 PM ^
So the exercise is just name 5 guys?
Some of the players being named were "just guys" while others were dudes. Is there any connection at all in people's lists? I wanna play but I don't know the rules.

I think Jason should have retired from hot takes based on one from the 2021 Big Ten title game that Hutchinson would make the Lions good.

who are the dudes in the picture?
February 4th, 2024 at 9:41 PM ^
I believe the shorter guy is Drew Dileo.
Edit: And... Jeremy Jackson circa 2010/2011.
February 4th, 2024 at 9:56 PM ^
Lord Drew Dileo that's a name I've not heard in a long time
February 4th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
I had no idea he owned land in the British isles
February 5th, 2024 at 7:26 AM ^
An update on Mr. Dileo:
February 5th, 2024 at 10:27 AM ^
He's a five star.

Brandon Minor ran upright and angry before Pacheco showed it to the masses
February 5th, 2024 at 10:49 AM ^
Brandon Minor RAGEd so that Isiah Pacheco could run.
February 5th, 2024 at 12:05 PM ^
Sam McGuffie, the prince who was promised. Alas…I still remember watching his high school tape on YouTube.

February 4th, 2024 at 9:57 PM ^
I haven’t listened yet, but Dug, Nimari, Jaelin, and GW3 are all guards. Maybe 2 are good, but that’s debatable.

"Little" Gordy Bell, who could "run around inside a phone booth for 5 minutes without touching the sides"
Per the Michigan Stadium announcer:
Aleeeee Hadjeeeee-SHIEK!

Know your announcers, before Carl Grapentine it was Howard King. Hopefully the line of succession doesn’t progress to Anthony Belino our current on the field MC.

I have updated my 2024 MGoBlog music playlists with the songs from this episode - here are the links:

Needless to say, I could not find that "terrible recorder meme" on our music services, so I have substituted with the actual Celine Dion song. Listening to that song on YouTube did crack me up, though.
Go Blue!
February 5th, 2024 at 12:46 PM ^
Honest to god when I heard that song come on as bumper music I thought about your posts and wondered if you would add it.
