[After THE JUMP: What we said]
---------------------
1. Purdue Preview
starts at the top
Meh. O'Connell isn't talented but he can fill the role of Air Raid QB and get the ball to Charlie Jones, who's been their most effective weapon. Next is the tight end. Defense is a bunch of guys playing Ron English ball. The Cover 2 breaks down, not great at tackling, heavy up front except they're down a DT.
2. The Game After Review: Offense vs OSU
starts at 28:46
This is what they wanted. The advanced stats can't account for this style of play because if you give up 10 touchdown opportunities and the opponent hits seven you get blown out. Michigan missed some of their shots early, blocking was the same it is usually. McCarthy's legs led to explosives. Was it the block of the year?
2. The Game After Review: Defense vs OSU
starts at 50:01
This is what we wanted. Ohio State was expecting more pressure, Michigan sat back and played games with the defensive backs. Sainristil had a DAY. Jenkins stood out, Harrell had a good game for him. Strategy was to get Day to give up the run, which he would do at the first provocation.
4. Smorgasbord
starts at 1:06:47
That was their shot. Worried about the defensive ceiling Dickinson and Williams because they went small and we couldn't stop them from driving. Need one vs Kentucky or UNC now. Hockey is at Wisconsin, Wisconsin sucks, lost to a team called Lake Head which [redacted]. Granato may just be a bad coach. World Cup: USA got out of their group, definitely getting tired after 60 minutes of their heavy press. Pulisic should be okay, probably not going 90. What's a win this year?
About the Featured Musician
Tres Crow (Spotify) is my best friend. Originally from Grand Haven, he was in a few bands there, then came to Michigan where we met and jammed around. Junior year he formed the band Oblivion, who became our core lifelong friend group. After college he had a short solo career, punctuated by some success in a group called Greenland and again with a breakaway called Noble Three. That landed him in Nashville and then he got married and that was it for the solo career. But his music's still out there, and it's high time you listen to it. I'm the friend in the 3rd song who "grew wider than tall."

I've had just about enough of Ye these last few weeks/months. On a separate note, excellent pod.

Yeah, dude needs help. Poor guy doesn't seem to have any grounded people calling BS.

The “Skinemax” line towards the end Brian made me literally laugh out loud!

I never understood why a team wouldn’t want a QB who could run and throw. No matter the offensive system, a dual threat QB makes it better. We should always always always recruit only dual threat QBs.
The only caveat being if the term “dual threat” is applied as a euphemism for a QB who can only run and not throw. In that case, the QB I want is the “true dual threat,”

Fricken Michigan hockey!
Of course we get our yuks in for how bad they are and Michigan gets pwned in Madison. 🤦♂️
