The best Michigan football and basketball podcast. They know what they are taking about and are true pros unlike many other Michigan sports podcasts out there. Thanks for what you do guys.
This is podcast with thoughtful and direct assessments of the football programs, the individual games, and about players. There’s a give and take between Tony Garcia and Rainer Sabin. They don’t always agree which adds to the value of this Podcast. And it’s fun along with informative. We’re fortunate as college and Big Ten football fans to have this source of information and open assessment without covering up or glossing over challenging situations. It’s good news reporters work!
