WTKA Roundtable 10/28/2021: Hit Your Digs
Things discussed:
- MSU talk part 1: Didn’t expect Thorne to be good. Has a good deep ball.
- MSU’s schedule has been pretty weak, should have lost to Nebraska.
- RB comparison: PFF thinks you could take Walker and any other back in the country and they won’t be Corum/Haskins.
- Can our quarterback play rise to the occasion? McNamara can’t beat MSU the way he played against Northwestern.
- What about our offensive coordination? Hoping we looked past Northwestern, have some things planned.
- QB talk: We’re all on team McNamara but want to see them come at this from a “what’s the hardest thing for a defense to stop” perspective. McNamara is your every down guy. McCarthy should come in at any moment and have downfield throws available as well.
- Sam Webb makes a 5-minute pitch for Mel to go to LSU.
- Michigan’s running game: Power is the answer. Pin & Pull returned, huzzah!
- MSU is going to beat our cornerbacks. Is that twice or 12 times is the difference. They’ll nerf Hutchinson by getting the ball out quickly and trusting their WRs to make a play.
- Explosion vs consistency, LFG.

I’m not thinking about my future employment opportunities; I am focused on beating Illinois at the Big House in Columbus.

Frames needs to quit drinking and go to bed.

Hoping Cade is as good as he was in our two prior road games (Wisconsin especially). Not perfect, but good enough to keep our offense moving.
Man I really wish we had Ronnie Bell right now. And Xavier Worthy...

Mike Morris has great football player hair now. I just look at him and assume he must be great at football
October 28th, 2021 at 11:59 AM ^
Big thanks to y'all for getting these podcasts up and posted so quickly. I'm not able to listen live so getting the pod the same day, and usually the same morning, is really great!

MSU is also going to blatantly hold Hutchinson (and anybody else that comes through for that matter) and dare the ref's to throw a flag.
October 28th, 2021 at 12:41 PM ^
They were ardent Michigan fans until they were about 17 years old.
*dies*
That's some low-key savagery Seth. Some iteration of this has to go onto a Game Day sign.
October 28th, 2021 at 6:26 PM ^
Agreed. I died when seth said this.
Combined with Sam's advice for Mel tucker this episode was an all timer for the roundtable.
October 28th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
When it came to trash talking, Seth was reluctant to take his turn at bat, but when he eventually stepped to the plate, it was a tape-measure blast...

Man - that was some story about Curtis Blackwell. Shame it's not based on facts in any way shape or form
October 28th, 2021 at 10:37 PM ^
I’m pretty sure Sam has a personal relationship with Curtis Blackwell. You’re…some dude on a message board. I’ll go with Sam’s story probably being closer to the truth.
October 29th, 2021 at 12:03 PM ^
Trusting the guy who is friends with one side of the story is an interesting choice.
It's not borne out by the legal process, where Blackwell had all his lawsuits tossed. It's also not borne out by the Jones Day report, where Blackwell talked to the 3 rapists and their families, and didn't report anything from that to MSU. He wasn't fired, his contract ran out and it wasn't renewed.
He acted out of their best interests (not MSUs, and since he'd known Corley for a decade I'm not sure I blame him), and because of that he lost his job.
October 28th, 2021 at 1:07 PM ^
If the team attacks this game with half the enthusiasm Sam brings to STAEE week…looks like Chase Winovich’s score might come true. M 63-0.

I love Sam but sometimes he just goes on these tangents. The whole Mel should leave thing, which felt like half the pod was pure cringe.
October 29th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
Yeah, it did ... go on, for a bit, didn't it?
