  • Michigan Football Without The Fluff

    Jake and Devon do a fantastic job of breaking down everything Michigan football. The difference between these guys and other shows, is that they’re not just going to tell you how great Michigan is. They’re going to tell it like it is, show you reasons why they are saying what they’re saying, and educate Wolverine fans on how to see the team through a player/coach’s eyes. I really wish Devon would be the new Michigan QB coach, because he’s a wealth of knowledge at the position, and knows what he’... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PSU-Oregon RECAP, Michigan-Wisconsin PREVIEW, Fan questions
Q: What are your guys' take on Justice Haynes for Heisman?
Justice Haynes could have a chance for the Heisman if he performs well, but he'll need the Michigan team to do well and would require help from other non-quarterback candidates in the race.
PSU-Oregon RECAP, Michigan-Wisconsin PREVIEW, Fan questions
Q: Are half-time adjustments real?
Halftime adjustments are usually not major overhauls, but rather based on what the coaches see, with adjustments made to improve the execution of plays already in the game plan.
