SITE STUFF: If you’re able to read this entire post, thank you, you’re a subscriber!

You know, the usual stuff.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s signed up so far. We’d love for you to join us.

Listen on Apple Podcasts here or download the podcast directly at this link. The show is also available on Google, Overcast, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, and wherever else you enjoy your podcasts. Please rate and review if you’re amenable. The best way to support the site is to set the podcast to download instead of stream.

Alex Cook and Connor Southard join your host to look back at Michigan’s win over NIU, give our big moods of the week, pick this week’s slate of games, and go over the wild Buckeye Scoop story-turned-lawsuit.

Topics include: SP+ rankings, getting the ball to the good players, MSU’s September Heisman campaign, if Cade McNamara is the ideal Jim Harbaugh quarterback, the passing offense and the Big Ten’s lack of good passing offenses, Donovan Edwards emerging, whether Michigan has the best backfield in the Big Ten, Rocky Lombardi’s unshakeable confidence, the defense being too solid so far to accumulate big individual numbers, and why in the world a silver spoon baby would (allegedly!) turn into a fraudulent college football insider.
