In the studio: Fritz Seyferth; Billy Taylor, and Dr. Sap, with Jim Brandstatter on the phone. New book means we get to go on the Michigan Insider and yap about it. We split the show into two segments: Segment 1: Billy Taylor’s Touchdown We got the author, Dr. Sap, as well the guy who ran it and the guys who blocked for it: Billy Taylor, Fritz Seyferth, and Jim Brandstatter come on to talk about perhaps the greatest play in Michigan history. Segment 2: Reviewing the Preview starts at 37:30 Brian, Ace and Seth come on to discuss what we learned while putting the book together. We talk about the most worrying positions, Harbaugh’s sign, setting the stage for 2018, and handicapping the Big Ten East race. You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom. Segment two is here. Segment three (Brian/Seth/Ace) is here. Segment four is here.

 MGoPodcast 8.22: The 8th Grader Fight of the Century | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 81:40

----------------------- REMINDER: HTTV Kickstarter ends in 48 hours! We sold out last year so if you want to make sure you get a book this is the way to get it. If you want to know how the Billy Taylor Touchdown was specifically designed to beat what Ohio State showed, you can go to the Alumni Association’s annual golf outing next year and get Jerry Hanlon a beer, or you can just pick up a copy of our book and you’ll see the play in Bo’s playbook while everyone who touched the ball recounts how they did it. Also it’s probably going to be the only opportunity to get a boot shirt: ----------------------- We Couldn’t Have One Without the Other This extra episode was recorded at the Junge Center at the behest of our friends at the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, at their Greater Detroit Club's annual meeting and golf outing, hence all the background chatter. We probably should have mentioned those speeches you hear in the background later are Bo’s top lieutenant Jerry Hanlon, and Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel. This podcast is presented by the Bo Store and UGP. Rishi and Ryan have been here since the beginning—shopping with them supports us and supports good dudes. Our sponsors also make this possible so please support them: They are the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, and Peak Wealth Management. ----------------------- 1. Football Items Starts at 0:55 Position switches: Ben Mason to fullback is obvious, Drake Harris to cornerback and Brad Hawkins to safety says nice things about the receivers. You too can be Richard Sherman. Grant Perry: Reinstatement means nothing—trial date is July 17th which is before practices start—and probably means they know what the deal is going to be at this point. Three-game suspension seems in the realm of reasonable. Sunny Odogwu: Injury means he’s going to be playing catch-up but a great use of an open scholarship and could work out very well. NCAA rule changes: SEC upset about early signing period in late December and visits in summer because it’s good for northern schools, kids, and honest dealers. Early signing resolves Swenson situations in time. The can’t-hire-a-coach rule is stupid. Michigan State reeling: Not taking pleasure in this. Investigations finally out, three prominent players out with every other pretty good player you can think of either trying to get out or questionably committed. Outlook: 2016 class is hemorrhaging, 2017 class bottomed out, 2018 class is under a cloud, and Dantonio’s build was all about lack-of-attrition so this program could be coming completely off the tracks. Team chemistry a mess. If you’re Pat Narduzzi, would you leave Pitt for this? 2. Gimmicky Top Five: Stupid Things We Are Proud Of, wsg Bruce Madej Starts at 34:27 We welcome in “Michigan Man Classic” Bruce Madej, the godfather of SID’ing and currently a special advisor to the athletic department. Ace goes first, which means the MGoBlog guys got exactly one good one in before Bruce blows this away. At least Brian and Ace kept the rest of theirs short so we could get to the next Madej thing. If not for Madej you might be impressed that Beilein’s sons were very happy about “We Had Subs It Was Crazy” because that’s exactly how dad their dad is. 3. Bill Wenzel on AAUM’s Golf Outing Starts at 1:00:37 Why are we here? 4. Hoops & Ace’s Hockey Podcast Starts at 1:06:49 D.J. Wilson to NBA is depressing but would have been more depressing to lose Wagner because it’s right before he becomes a murderer. Wilson probably promised he’d go in the 1st round. Simmons: would you trade him for D.J.? Not sure because solving the PG situation is a huge deal for this team. Charles Mathews is the biggest X factor this program has had in years. Mel: When the floor is this guy you’re getting a really good floor, but adding Bill Muckalt to the staff and retaining Wiseman means this is closer to a ceiling hire. Might be good immediately, probably not great again for a few years. ---------------------------- MUSIC: “The Man Comes Around”—Johnny Cash “Play It Right”—Sylvan Esso “I Went Outside Today”—Open Eagle Mike, Paul White “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link Direct download link What's with the theme music?

 WTKA Roundtable 5/4/2017: Like the WWE Network Except with Sports | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:03

Last one of the year guys. No reason I just wanted to use this one and we’re running out of year [Eric Upchurch] Things discussed: Jaaron Simmons: His high turnovers and lots of bad twos are Ohio’s fault we think. Good on the P&R. Transition offense is only complaint that sticks. DJ and Moe: Most have DJ in 2nd round and Moe not drafted but they’ll go to the deadline. No secret that they would go if either is a 1st rounder. Mo Bamba in a holding pattern. Craig scouted winger Ignas Brazdeikis, a 2018 Lithuanian playing in Canada who reclassified from 2017. Phenomenal shooter, comfortable with both hands. More thoughts on death of cable bundling/ESPN layoffs. Search Engine Optimization: Nobody’s comfortable with that being the most important target for a content provider to be focused on. Michigan State’s troubles: what’s taking so long? Waiting for a logical explanation (e.g. lost evidence). America’s worst football coach comes at Harbaugh, then blocks Harbaugh. Tim Brewster’s block button is the Nixon’s List of 2017. I may have spent an unhealthy portion of yesterday trying to get on this list. Craig submitted an article for HTTV about the 1880s that didn’t have enough about the Stevens Institute Game. Will the NCAA legislate against Michigan going to Rome? Yes, because SEC coaches are shameless? No, because there’s no leg to stand on? Yes because that never stopped them before?

 WTKA Roundtable 4/27/2017: Rome, Melcome Home | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:10

[by Vatican photographer @oss_romano via @AlanHoldren] Things discussed: Losers cry while winners go to Italy: Jealousy or clickbait: 100% of the people bitching about this have 0% credibility. Michigan’s academic schedule gives them an advantage in this. Should Big Ten batsports leave the NCAA? News from Rome: Brandon Peters throws a good ball, Tarik Black’s a guy, and other things we already know. NFL Draft: Absurdity of the league of morally bankrupt idiot sons testing for weed. Melcome: Sometimes the obvious choice is the right one. M’s decline started when Pearson left. Being old is a downer—Craig wishes he was still just 2,987. Billy Muckalt, whether he’s here or an HC elsewhere, gives Mel a Mel; USA Hockey should take a look. Shields needs to stay. The fall of ESPN and the dying world of cable bundling. It rankles that they could have kept 20-30 actual journalists instead of Steven A Smith. They had Grantland and the Podcast network and had no idea how to monetize them. The changing media landscape is not the place for suits who can’t see past the next quarter. Scream shows don’t get watched.

 WTKA Roundtable 4/20/2017: Forza Spring | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:27

[Bryan Fuller] Things discussed: Baseball is really good. Now up to #13 in the country. Spring takes: It was fun. Brandon Peters looked gooooood. Speight had a bad day, but that doesn’t undo a season’s worth of seeing him start, play on the road, play injured, lead a team, etc. But man, that throw to Schoenle. But Speight was under way more pressure. But Craig was a few sheets to the wind when charting it. The spreading: Are they getting the RBs good receiver matchups? A zone read package to bleed Peters? Making pass protection easier? All of the above, probably. Like the backs. Like the receivers. The secondary looks like it reloaded. Craig and Brian don’t agree on their favorite walk-on OL. Frey is good—smart to have multiple coaches for a position that, including TE, is over half of your offense. Bush can run through some guys—you can see why they like Robo but Bush is going to be hard to keep from the field. Khaleke Hudson is the Peters of the defense: seeing the things translate to college ball that made him such an exciting prospect out of high school. Can you imagine telling Don Brown he’s not allowed to blitz? That bonkers field goal. The other kickers looked good too. Will Hart can punt it long but takes a long time to get it off. Toughest game on the schedule? Brian thinks Sam is giving Penn State too much credit. Their offense in the good part of the year was too based on bombing it downfield but that’s not going to last without Chirs Godwin. Hurst: we’re gonna have to get used to playing more snaps. Really wish we had a Matt Godin on this roster. You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom. Segment two is here. Segment three is here.

 MGoPodcast 8.21: Ace Gets a Shock Collar | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 80:22

1 hour and 22 minutes HomeSure Lending’s Schembechler conference room. Foreground: fancy vases We Couldn’t Have One Without the Other This podcast is presented by the Bo Store, UGP & Moe's. Rishi and Ryan have been here since the beginning—shopping with them supports us and supports good dudes. It was recorded in the Schembechler Room at Homesure Lending’s swanky new Ann Arbor office on State Street, where someone had put “Win the Game” on the whiteboard. Our sponsors make this possible: The Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, and Peak Wealth Management. ---------------------------- 1. Offense Starts at 0:55 While Ohio State played two-hand touch and charged fans for a show of fanservice, Harbaugh (with an assist from the weather) packed the Big House by making competitive football the spectacle. QB: Peters is the worst, Speight’s game was concerning. HB: Evans is coaching football. WRs: DPJ & Black look like NFL bodies, Schoenle is real. TE: Wheats can block, Eubanks looks like a TE, Gentry is a gazelle, McKeon has the QBs’ trust. OL: Vastardis is a viable guard. Right tackle is short on guys who can pass pro. 2. Defense Starts at 33:10 Thanks O’Korn for taking the hit to show off how Hudson can dish them. LB: Devin Bush is gonna rock you—finally our own Denicos Allen. Robo can play. DL: Starters woo, backups woof. CBs: Let’s hope this was a real sign that Washington is good and not a Brandon Watson 2015 thing. St Juste looks like he could use a redshirt. S: Not worried—Metellus ranged out, Glasgow is another Glasgow, Kinnel is flat-out good. Special teams: Is depth at kicker a thing? That kick would be a home run in most ballparks, a double in Comerica. YOU CATCH THE DANG BALL. 3. Gimmicky Top Five Under the Radar Spring Takes Starts at 53:43 Ace thinks this means “Things that are obvious.” Demo thinks Rashan Gary’s 19-year-old body looks fit. Brian thinks we need a device that delivers electric shocks to podcasters who misbehave. We all think Harbaugh needs a holster for his megaphone, that a Rich Rod package would be cool. Not on the podcast: Seth and David signaling to each other that the five-wide package was about not being able to block Don Brown’s dirty blitzes. 4. Salute to Red Hockey Starts at 1:10:26 We are fussy because we were babies when Berenson made Michigan hockey awesome. Thank you for all the Comries, and for running the cleanest, most watchable, most likeable, most hateable, most spectacular experience in sports. ---------------------------- MUSIC: “In The Air Tonight”—Phil Collins “I Aint Gonna Work Tomorrow”—Don Julin “Tea and Thorazine”—Andrew Bird “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link Direct download link What's with the theme music?

 WTKA Roundtable 4/13/2017: Et Tu, BC? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:10

[Bill Rapai] Things discussed: Berenson remembered. Wish time didn’t happen; now it’s time to appreciate all that Red gave us, including the best damn hockey ever, Old Yost, and all the Comries. Options for next guy—it doesn’t seem like the replacement has been decided, and it seems it’s not Mel anymore. Was it until recently? Yeah? Why not Babcock? Some convincing reasons, including Zach Hyman. Miles Bridges stays at State…um…okay…gotta stick around for that Izzo bump I guess. DJ and Moe probably want to go to the NBA Draft but if 24th overall is the ceiling they should probably return. Euphemisms that don’t need explaining explained. Spring Game: position battles we’re watching. OL: Big Mike O gonna be good. If Ruiz isn’t pummeled by the starting DL, pencil him in as a 4-year starter.

 WTKA Roundtable: Used to Be Red | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:37

[Robert Kalmbach photograph collection at the UM Bentley Library] Things discussed: How do you show Red the door when he built the door? A long discussion on what you do when he’s had one foot out for awhile and refuses to go. IS Mel available? Under any circumstance? What is the circumstance? If this gets messy do we need Mel? Craig offers his mediation services pro bono. Nobody reads these bullets do they? Wi not trei a holiday in Sweeden this yer?

 WTKA Roundtable: They Took and We Gave | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:10

42 minutes NBA? Not open yet. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] Sam is back. Things discussed: Tournament wrap: Wish we had another shot at Oregon. What if Mo Bamba came? He won’t but assume he does. But he won’t. But if you want to be a stretch four in the NBA? Sam has a gut feeling about something here. Dropping Donnal: Michigan is confident Austin Davis and Jon Teske would be ahead of him next year. Moe and Wilson to the NBA? Probably not because of depth—discussion of other players (e.g. Swanigan) who might come back because of it. What to expect from Xavier Simpson next year: Brian compares him to the last Michigan guard you might expect. Also Eli Brooks. The Dienhart vapid #content generator has expanded to basketball. Here’s some takes on the Big Ten next year that take more into account than whether you can read names off a roster.

 MGoPodcast 8.20: Self Efficacy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 89:58

[Bryan Fuller] We Couldn’t Have One Without the Other This podcast is presented by the Bo Store, UGP & Moe's. Rishi and Ryan have been here since the beginning—shopping with them supports us and supports good dudes. It was recorded at the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, and while waiting for his segment @ACiatti was super-pleased about the free fast internet connection. Our sponsors make this possible: Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, and Peak Wealth Management. ---------------------------- 1. Post Mortem, Tourney Thoughts starts against 1:00 Jack Stack broke Ace’s will to be wakeful. Oregon’s plan was to leave Michigan’s shooters so wide open from three we’d get confused and miss: congratulations you found our weakness. Also turnovers went the other way from normal, and we vastly underestimated Jordan Bell. Are we happy or sad about Oregon depantsing Kansas? 2. Basketball Beyond starts at 20:02 A run through the roster for 2017-’18 by position, and we do it from 1 to 5 even though it makes way more sense for next year’s team to reverse that. X as Darius Morris, Brooks comes Nova-approved, RAHK all night long, Mathews is a wild card, Robinson is what he is, Ibi is probably another year away, DJ has a DJ-like understudy coming in, and if Moe is Louisville Moe all year he’ll drive us back to the 16. Also: theories on bigs development, and developments in the B1G. 3. Gimmicky Top Five: The Best Player in the NFL (That you can draft out of Michigan next month?) starts at 53:00 Michigan’s entire starting defense isn’t eligible for the NFL Draft because McCray is still around. But that still leaves plenty of players to choose from, plus Jake Butt, in deciding who will be the best five pros out of—deep breath here—Glasgow, Godin, Wormley, Taco, Gedeon, D.Hill, D.Thomas, Peppers, Stribling, Jourdan, Kalis, Braden, Mags, Butt, Darboh, Chesson, and Deveon Smith. Did I forget anyone? 4. Ace’s Aceless Hockey Podcast starts at 1:08:10 We welcome special guests Anthony Ciatti (@Ciatti) and our hockey beatwriter/otherjobdoer David Nasternak (@NastyIsland) to discuss how this was, by Corsi, the worst Michigan hockey team ever and ungh it was so unbelievably bad yuck blech argh. Oh right and options to replace Red, which don’t include any Red Wings but do include the two best hockey coaches in the country, AND Mel. ---------------------------- MUSIC: “Koroleva Ne Pomerla”—The Ukrainians (cover of “The Queen is Dead” by The Smiths) “Oxford Comma”—Vampire Weekend “Forever for Her is Over for Me”—White Stripes “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link Direct download link What's with the theme music?

 WTKA Roundtable 3/23/2017: We’re Educated People | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:34

44 minutes. Yes, a lot of it is dated now. [Marc-Gregor Campredon] Still Ira in for Sam, who’s in a place with better meat right now. Things discussed: First weekend recap: Michigan beat Louisville two points at a time. Weekend vs. very tough teams showed what a Beilein offense can be when all five guys are firing. Beilein now versus when he got here: totally different offense, totally different defense. Moe is the first 5 who can shoot that B’s had since Pittsnoggle and that one guy the year after Pittsnoggle. The rest of the tourney: Big Ten has acquitted itself well, the refs not so much. Nerd-out on the seeding: advocating better metrics but don’t make it all about advanced stats either. Right now they’re just using RPI, which is bad. Oregon preview: Almost as up-tempo as Oklahoma State—don’t let them take a three! Vegas takes into account the loss of Boucher and the fact that Michigan is playing like a 2-seed. Kansas in case: Bill Self-destruction in March is a thing, but Kansas has some ATHs. Ira makes a good argument that we’d rather face them than Purdue? Rundown of the rest: Who do you like for the Final Four? Spring Football! Brian points out which guys he wants to hear nice things about. You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom. Segment two is here. Segment three is here.

 MGoPodcast 8.19: Your Poison Gets 2 Points Per Possession | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 88:42

Rishi and Ryan have been here since the beginning—shopping with them supports us and supports good dudes who are deeply involved in the Ann Arbor community. It was recorded at the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown—you should probably book your next stay in Ann Arbor there to offset all the free stuff we took. Speaking of offsetting costs, here’re the people who bought us the set we use to record way more of these than we used to: Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, and Peak Wealth Management. You don’t have to visit them now, but remember to come back to our podcast to get a link when you need them! ---------------------------- 1. Tales from Indy Part I: Okie State starts against 1:00 The best 7-10 game in college basketball history? We’re saying that. Michigan’s three-point shooting was matched by the legit #1 offense in basketball. New developments include DJ Wilson: impact shot-blocker. 2. Tales from Indy Part II: L’llv’lle. starts at 23:05 AKA the OTHER 40-minute heart attack. The Cardinal survey available poisons and choose the tall bottle with an import sticker—that too is the wrong poison. Was it that or a Pitino long con, because that pump fake drive was there all year. M’s six-man rotation is Don Brown-like in its multiplefromthesamepersonnelness yes that’s a word you want me to prove it fine now it’s a tag on mgoblog. 3. Ace and Brian’s Excellent Gimmicky Top 5 Adventure starts at 46:22 Now a gimmicky top 5 so grand (whoa), so magnificent, and so vast, it spans 7,000 years (no way!) Brace yourself for a most triumphant Top 5 premise, as two bloggers jump in a time machine that can go back to mid-January, encounter their other, pre-Maverick selves, and unveil the future. Starring: Zak Irvin, Mo Bamba, Beilein players with lip curls, Red, and an odd casting choice for Jules Winfield in the Pulp Fiction remake. @RajLakra @mgoblog @dloomis24 @TheMcClaneShow @sbell021 @AceAnbender @DacGoBlue @DETGoBlue @MichSportsZone @CLangrill I had to! #goblue pic.twitter.com/KcVNTXjRJw— Mikey B (@the_mikeyb1246) March 19, 2017 @the_mikeyb1246 @mgoblog @RajLakra @dloomis24 @TheMcClaneShow @AceAnbender SAY "THREELINE" AGAIN— Max Johnson (@maximusjohnson) March 19, 2017 4. The Tournament So Far, plus Oregon Preview and Beyond starts at 1:06:56 When a 5-seed isn’t chalk in the first round, you’ve seeded badly. Appalling calls, especially those that took the air out of the end of some great games. However the insane seeding did lead to some radical 2nd round games. Bathroom Bill sinks Duke deliciously. Oregon is without their DJ Wilson—that might mean a lot. As for Kansas, they’re super athletic, and coached only just enough not to step on each other, i.e. not the guys you want to face after a quick turnaround. ---------------------------- MUSIC: “Opening Theme”—Pulp Fiction “Flight of the Valkyries”—Wilhelm Richard “Moe Buckets” Wagner “Inside OUt”—SPOON “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link Direct download link What's with the theme music?

 WTKA Roundtable 3/16/2017: The Few, the Two, and a Strong Sense of Self | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:06

[Paul Sherman] Ira is here for Sam, who’s in Indy for the open practice. Things discussed: The last gasp of the Red era: Michigan didn’t go to the Joe and win three straight but it would have been nice. What’s next? Gaming RPI: The NCAA met with Sagarin and Pomeroy…and went back to their stupid metric that’s so predictable a hero at Minnesota got them a 5-seed and Illinois State got left out for 9-seed MSU. Oklahoma State could be the VCU game of this tourney, except Cowboys can shoot. We like that there’s nobody to get Wagner in trouble. Who’s got two guards and is No. 1 at forcing two-point jumpers? The rest of our brackets. Brian likes UCLA because that game, Craig believes the Midwest is so soft Kentucky will jump brackets and beat all of us down, Gonzaga might get to walk to the Final Four, and hoo did Wisconsin end up in a rough bracket. Match the champs to the roundtabler: Kentucky, UNC, Nova, Meeeshigan. You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom. Segment two is here. Segment three is here.

Michigan after Maverick: Big Ten Tourney Recap Part 1 starts against 0:55 How far these players have come. We back up to the streak (and a couple of weird things on the road) before to set up the culmination of Maverick Morgan’s white collar comeuppance, followed by out-x’s and o’s-ing the Big Ten’s best guy to talk to about X’s and O’s. 2. Michigan after Maverick Part 2 and Gaming the RPI starts at 20:45 Second half of Minnesota everyone’s legs die, Derrick Walton puts the team on his back. Announcers have to learn to appreciate Walton shots. Praise for announcers AND for referees—I’m warning you now in case you get here and start to wonder if this really is the MGoPodcast you’re listening to. 3. NCAA Tourney Preview starts at 37:10 Not a good draw—Oklahoma State was seeded way—however Beilein might be the exact kind of coach that Cowboy shtick doesn’t work against. If they’re hitting from 30 feet or Michigan’s not hitting their open threes, it’s tip your cap time. Louisville is some big scary blocky dudes who don’t score enough to be terrifying. Kansas is the 1 seed you want in your region. 4. Gimmicky Top 5: Great moments in 2016-'17 M Hoops starts at 1:05:15 HUEL (Human Element to any HUEL marketing managers out there) co-founder Jason Magee sat in to reminisce our favorite moments. Jason, not Ace or Brian, remembered the one that David and I were going to pantomime in the studio if they didn’t get to it. ---------------------------- MUSIC: "Danger Zone"—Kenny Loggins “Playin’ With the Boys”—Kenny Loggins “Take My Breath Away”—Berlin “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link Direct download link What's with the theme music?

 WTKA Roundtable 3/9/2017: Working Class Heroes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:35

By giving you no time instead of it all. [Paul Sherman] Things discussed: Ed Feng has a book that’s guaranteed to win your bracket or no money back. The plane crash, and Delaney unsurprisingly made the minimal accommodations. College basketball players are not 3,000 year old druids like Craig Ross, which is the most open yet unremarked secret since Ed Martin’s connections with Michigan State. Getting up at 4am, flying to the East Coast, then being dressed and on the floor by noon with a crazy airline story is actually very white collar. Posting someone up is very un-Beilein. Walton vs. Mason: nobody has any idea. Burning questions for 2017 football: Dwumfour, safeties, cornerbacks, of course offensive tackle. Don Brown is a regular guy. Kenpom as a tourney factor You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom. Segment two is here. Segment three is here.
