  • Love SAM! ❤️🙏😃🌈

    Love Sam, Monday Morning QB, Steady Droppin’ Dimes, Defensive Breakdown with Vance Bedford, my favorite on Fridays with John U. Bacon! The best! Wish Sam had email availability! ❤️😃❤️😃 Love that SAM gives people chances. Love that we get to hear from Shoelace and the A-train! Could we get Mike Hart? ❤️❤️❤️ Love that Sam is pro-Michigan, like Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard, and never predicts Michigan will lose! Go Blue! 〽️ Glad to have FLINT representation. 〽️

    Great content guys, but you continue to not address your audio situations. It’s been years. Crazy bad production.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

004 - Watch Wednesday and Tony Petitti pt1 072926
Q: Questions for Commissioner Petitti?
Petitti emphasizes a collaborative, multi-conference approach to policy, acknowledges ongoing scrutiny of the bill, and stresses the need for practical, institution-based decisions that maintain competitive balance while addressing governance challenges.
010 - Eric Adelson pt2 072826
Q: So EA, I guess it's fitting that I ask sort of a Michigan question, before we segue away with Big 10 Media Days, opening up today.
Adelson discusses Michigan's potential path to a Big Ten and national title, weighing their schedule strength, quarterback development, and the impact of coaching changes on their ceiling.
003 - Mike Boynton JR pt2 072926
Q: What are you looking for from Elliott and Trey this offseason with the roster turnover?
They need to be consistently competitive, lead the team, and contribute more scoring while also adapting to increased pressure and defensive demands, helping the team shift into a more balanced, team-oriented approach.
003 - Mike Boynton JR pt2 072926
Q: Hey Mike, just what are some of your early impressions of this team so far?
The returners have been leading and vocal in teaching the new guys, with leadership roles emerging from Trae, Elliott, and JP; several newcomers are still proving themselves, and we're preparing through practice and an upcoming Europe trip to evaluate how they perform under real game conditions.
007 - Inside the Huddle with Michael Spath 072226
Q: Do you think the next president should be more academic or more politically savvy given NIL and funding pressures?
A balance is ideal: someone with strong academic credentials but also enough political and fundraising savvy to navigate NIL, donor expectations, and government relations.
