The Ozone Radio Network

This week Tony Gerdeman discusses plenty. From an "Evening with Chris Holtmann" to "An Afternoon with the Wide Receivers". And a bunch of stuff in between, including the initial Top 25 Coaches poll. He brings us a bunch of information about the wide receiver unit, such as Johnnie Dixon almost giving up on football and why everyone loves Binjimen Victor. Plus a whole lot more, including questions that we didn't get to last week.

Joe Dexter and Clair Crawford make their debut on the OZone Radio Network and discuss the latest from wide receivers coach Zach Smith and how Kevin Wilson will adapt to Urban Meyer's offense.

In this weeks episode, Shannon discusses the sad news of a young writer for another site. This leads into Shannon discussing how short life is. "Life is too short, Live your life be you." He then talks about Michigan having a convicted felon on the team (Grant Perry). Chip talks about Kevin Wilson's desire to have a 1-2 punch at the running back position and what it would take to get JT Barrett to run less. There is a discussion of possible starters for the right guard and strong safety positions. Shannon lets everyone know that Brett Ciancia of Pick Six Previews will be joining the show again to help break down the Big Ten. Also he lets the listeners know there is going to be a very big interview coming their way soon!!

Your Tuesday serving of the Sons of Schmidt is ready to consume. Season 2 Episode 3 is now live and can be heard below. Brandon takes the lead in this week’s episode, as Mike is busy nursing a nasty cold. You can hear it in his voice. But like the dedicated podcasters they are, the guys battled through and may even be ready to have their black stripes removed. This week, the SoS guys take a look at news out of the media days involving Greg Schiano and the changes on the coaching staff that could be coming down the line. And as fall camp has started, we recap the first couple days of workouts and updates to the position battles discussed last week.
