    Tuned in for the Michigan preview… insane lack of research about Michigan, making statements about basic things that are just

    factually incorrect, also a crazy level of homerism. Was hoping to get a less biased take from the Nebraska perspective but they lost all credibility quickly. Weird amount of crude humor that was far from funny.
