I fell on the "is it Ricky Astley" sword for you my brothers. 

It's not (unless I'm playing the double down game on you). It's video of a football podcast.

At any rate, the fun "beef" rant about our meaty dominance starts at 5:34 and goes on for about 1.5 minutes. I'd say that bit has good energy vibes that make it worth the watch.

Summary:

They loved the change in strategy to address the Penn. St. Defense.  

Allar shrinks in Big Games

Penn St. Not outclassed, but not quite as good, QB the difference.

Impressed with Michigan staying motivated, even if they think they're over-acting a bit by acting like Harbaugh died.

Think Michigan is very good and should be #2 when the rankings are released.

They're pretty well aligned on thinking the signals thing is bullshit..

They don't think Franklin is being treated fairly, even though some of his game management isn't great as Penn St. Is a 10-20 program and he's doing what you would want a coach at Penn. St. to do.  Need the offense to match the defense.

Michigan's player development and evaluation is on another level from most programs

Had a lot of fun with Sherrone Moore's postgame interview, but it felt more like affectionate ribbing than mockery.

Sherrone Moore swears too much for the podcast.

Michigan adjusted on their third or so possession by going extra big to negate Penn State's speed. Michigan started running a quasi triple option to grind Penn State into dust.

In the first half Penn State's oline looked its best in months. Petered out later.

Allar is a timid QB.

Penn State is a good team, not as good as OSU or M. M is very good, should be rank at least #2.

Physical domination. M's line pushed PSU around. Not as ridiculous as last year, but if that PSU defense can't make M throw, then who can?

PSU fans not happy. James Franklin against OSU and M yadda yadda yadda. But Franklin wasn't usual conservative self. Some of the clever play calls worked, the swinging gate is a good call but Allar blew it.

More Franklin has built good, not great program. Maybe the loss says more about how good M is though. For example, Kenneth Grant is a freak, chasing down RBs. M has an impressive player development program. Lots of depth at dline.

Sherrone Moore post-game interview made quite an impression on them.

Now the legal stuff gets us to doom scroll.

Pretty good watch, this is what a non biased, knowledgeable take on the team looks like. Signals are a non-issue, focused on the football and the game. Intelligent takes on the whole thing and pretty funny to boot.

By comparison, literally the opposite of the click/traffic seeking major outlets that looked at their balance sheets, aligned themselves to the most advantageous position possible, then generated a faux circus of outrage and concern for the purpose of driving as many eyeballs as possible and supporting their narrative regardless of actual evidence and without any semblance of balance or journalistic integrity.
