Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?

MGoRadio is recorded before a live retail audience audience at the Bo Store on Fridays before home games (and Thursdays nights at various locations before away games).

The Sponsors

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 we probably would have real jobs.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Peak Wealth Management, and Lantana Hummus

After UFR: The Defense

starts at 1:00

So THAT’S how a 3-3-5 works. That play did not go well for Brandon Powell—Metellus can cover. Were we too positive about Devin Bush? About everybody? Were there any busts in the secondary? Is there literally anything to complain about?

After UFR: The Offense

starts at 18:00

Wilton was suboptimal but fine—you can tell why he’s starting over O’Korn. Nolan Ulizio got worked by the number one guy out of Wyoming. Important that the backs look good because you lost Ty Wheatley. Chris Evans for Michigan 2040!

Gimmicky Top Five: Places to Go on Gameday

starts at 37:54

How many 50-yard field goals per game would it take to get Ace to carve the Wild Thing into his hair? Come for the overpriced food, stay for the red hot beer takes.

Cincinnati Preview

starts at 53:31

It’s getting funky in here. So this is not a very good team. They have some good receivers and a decent defensive line. Their linebackers were decimated, the defensive backs bust spectacularly. What’s Alex Hornibrook with a less strong arm?They’ll dink ‘n dunk; Michigan should break some big plays. Kevin?

IPAs are the most over-produced, over-rated beer style going, and every damn craft brewery makes one, and then features it like no one has ever thought to make an IPA before. Thank God it's fall and all the good seasonal beers are being produced. I have a Two Brothers Atom Smasher in front of me this very moment, and it is magnificent. Anyway, hopefully the show is also good. I'll listen to it eventually?

Sours are fantastic. I agree that IPA's are overrated, and that Two Hearted is perfect and cannot be improved upon.

Also, it bothers me a lot that Brian's never been to Ricks/Skeeps. That being said, Ricks is better, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. It's the worst place in the world and the best place in the world.

I has the sad it's the end of IPA season.  Yes, I'll admit they're overproduced, but a truly great IPA is a heavenly experience.  I had the opportunity to go to New England this summer and get fresh IPA's from breweries like Trillium and Bissel Brothers, and they were absolutely amazing.  

Two Hearted is great, but Founders Centenniel is even better.  And I drank as much M-43 as I could this summer, and it is still amazing.

 

To me, Fall means stout weather, but the way I see it, I still have two weeks of summer, so two weeks of IPA's before I HAVE to make the change.  I can fill my growler with M-43 tomorrow before the game, and I think that's what I'll be drinking tomorrow.

IPA's are the "it" thing...but there's nothing wrong a good IPA. Just because I feel like I was drinking them before EVERYone else was doesn't mean I'll stop.

I'll stop when they stop making good ones.

I don't hate IPAs. They aren't my favorite, but I do have one occasionally. I'm just sick of showing up at a brewery and seeing multiple varieties of IPA all being pushed as the brewery's signature beers while I struggle to find something closer to my own personal preference. I just don't know why it's being treated as the king of craft beer varieties instead of just another type of beer. Why are they so damn popular?

We had a better OL. Still, he is who he is and that's a C+ level QB. What has always bothered and confused me is the general opinion of his deep ball. Speight is terrific from 25+! Very good. It's his 1-24 area that is so inconsistent that it's aggravating (ha). He has a great long ball though. Better UM QBs have had far worse. Tacopants is a thing because of Henne. Henne's favorite target over 25 was Taco J. Pants. Speight is just who he is and that's a guy that will always be that liability vs good teams. That said, he's by far the best option we have right now.

We are past peak-IPA.  It is like we are in the late 80s when bands like Trixter and Winger were popular and they were absolute crap.   All the good metal albums came out earlier in the decade and everything after that was a cheap imitation.   Two-Hearted is like Cliff Burton-Metallica and will always be good.  Almost all other IPAs that have come out since taste like hairspray and spandex.
