  • No Harbaugh, no problem?

    Really? I wonder if OSU would think it’s no big deal not having Ryan Day for the UM game. Terrible take and episode. I’m out

  • Love it - but please tweak your headlines!

    Love this podcast, great insight and thorough coverage… but please never again put ‘JJ McCarthy’ and ‘injury updates’ next to each other :). Keep up the good work

  • Hmmm!

    Kind of sorry negativism! They feed off each other’s pessimism! They do bring up some cautious points, but if one is a Michigan fan, (who else would listen?), then one is looking for a little more enthusiasm! 🤔 Some of their predictions are wildly off! 🔥

  • Not much enthusiasm

    Very monotone and pretty depressing. I wish it wasn’t.

  • Decent but...

    You guys need to stop reading news articles to your audience. It’s very amateur to do that and it’s incredibly annoying.

    Just talk freely about the article content.

    Other than that, it’s a good podcast overall.
