Summary
In this episode, we break down some of the latest going-ons with the Michigan football team, while also recap the Wolverines’ 6-0 start to the season.
After addressing the Michigan football team’s third consecutive cancellation due to COVID-19, we try to decipher some of the other things addressed by Jim Harbaugh in his first press conference in two weeks. We look at the legitimacy of his “commitment” to Michigan in the future, and why we’re more inclined to believe him than before. We also discuss why the Wolverines’ Signing Day doesn’t appear poised to be as disastrous as maybe it could have been, and why it’s Michigan’s job to own its decision one way or another. We then turn our attention to the off chance that Michigan plays in a bowl game, and the factors that would play a role in that decision.
Then, we shift our focus to the Michigan basketball team, looking at Hunter Dickinson’s dominant start, the Wolverines’ second-half woes against Penn State in their first non-conference game, the value of winning gritty, Eli Brooks, Michigan’s improved defense, players the Wolverines need to step up and other things Michigan can improve upon during a 12-day hiatus between games.
