Summary

It's hard to believe another college football season is nearly wrapped up. However, college football's creme de la creme will take to the field to decide who's the national champion before we reach the off-season. Ari and David share their final thoughts ahead of Monday's game, including Jim Harbaugh's future at Michigan and his legacy (3:30), how Courtney Morgan helped build both Michigan and Washington (19:00), and how Dillon Johnson's health impacts how we view the game (31:00). Later, The Athletic's Michigan beat writer Austin Meek joins the podcast (36:30) as well as Ralph Russo of the AP (41:30), and Chuck Culpepper of the Washington Post to share their final words about the game (48:15). Lastly, we answer YOUR questions (53:45), including is this Washington offense better than 2021/22 Ohio State, how Ari's Tour of Shame isn't that shameful (1:04:30), and Huskies die-hard fan Ian talks resiliency (1:14:45).
