  • Like Whit with the team, Sam needs a tough convo with Shea

    Monotone, lacking emotion, needs crispy pointed answers.

    Some of this relies on better prep.

    Some of this relies on better charisma.

    He has quality insights; he needs help to improve delivery. Very tough listen.

  • Good podcast

    Give a lot of good insight on the Michigan football. Love the position previews before each season. Only thing preventing it from 5 stars is Steve’s audio issues
