Another week, another too-close-for-comfort win for Michigan football. And even still, the Wolverines are right on track for an epic clash against Ohio State to determine the College Football Playoff. Michigan turned the ball over five times and needed a last second field goal to beat Northwestern, but it still goes in the win column, much like the ugly Purdue game the week before or the MSU one the week before that. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing why this Michigan football team is hard to understand, before talking about some real positives from the win over Northwestern (looking at you, Andrew Marsh). Then the guys quickly discuss the Maryland matchup and what's at stake. After the break (22:51) the guys dive into Michigan football's threat of conference independence from Michigan Board of Regents member Jordan Acker. If the private equity-Big Ten deal goes through, is Michigan football really a candidate to become the next Notre Dame? Read all about the Michigan Wolverines by heading to our website at freep.com/sports.

Recorded: November 17th 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome on Robert Gallery, former No. 2 overall pick and Iowa legend, who joins the show for a raw, emotional, and deeply honest interview. He talks about growing up as a Big Ten boy, his recruiting journey, and the moment he realized the NFL was actually possible. From his Draft and Combine experience to stories about Kirk Ferentz, Warren Sapp, and JaMarcus Russell, Robert paints a full picture of life in the league during his career with Raiders. But where this episode truly hits different is when Robert opens up about the mental health battles he faced while playing. He shares what led to his retirement, the moment he hit rock bottom, and how he eventually found the strength to start helping himself. Robert walks The Boys through his Ibogaine experience, DMT trip, and the long journey toward healing his brain, rebuilding his marriage, and finding purpose through the Vet Solutions Foundation.

Austin, Dak, and Hunter discuss the Husker basketball win over Oklahoma in Sioux Falls and then give initial thoughts on Penn State.

Ohio State was again without Carnell Tate, used Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs sparingly, and still beat the brakes off of UCLA at the Shoe Saturday night. Things went more or less as expected, even if Ryan Day seemed aggravated with the offense's start to the second half. Maybe some of the mojo rubbed off on the special teams, though, because the Buckeyes recorded a blocked punt and a kickoff return for a touchdown on the evening.We looked back at our score predictions, broke down all the key players/moments/stats from the game, and checked on our picks to click to see how they performed. (Spoiler: they did well.)  After yapping about the Buckeyes for a bit, we turned our attention to the rest of the Big Ten. There were some top-notch games over the weekend, including Iowa at USC and Michigan needing a last-second field goal to avoid a loss to Northwestern at Wrigley Field. Penn State got its first Big Ten win, while Michigan State and Purdue did not. We looked ahead to this weekend's slate of games in the conference, and USC-Oregon is a critical game for the Trojans' hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. Northwestern will be playing for bowl eligibility.  Finally, we looked forward to Saturday at noon, when the Rutgers Scarlet Knights visit Columbus. Greg Schiano's defense has not been up to its usual standard this year, and we expect the OSU offense to continue to put points on the board. Hopefully, the Buckeyes will be able to rest some key starters for most or all of the game, but it's important to maintain momentum heading into The Game.  We look at Rutgers offensive weapons and defensive rankings, make our picks to click, and try our best to predict Saturday's final score.We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email at silverbulletspod@gmail.com Any questions directed toward us will be answered on our next show.Be sure to subscribe, rate, review, share, and follow the show over on Twitter at @SilvrBulletsPod.As always, thanks for listening! 0:20 - UCLA with Nico Iamaleava might have been interesting at times, but with a backup quarterback, it was almost over before it started.  21:31 - A look around the rest of the B1G.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 192 - Show Me The Money - The New World Order of College Sports In this episode of Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson, Pastor Paul Miller, David Collins, and Randy Gilmer dive headfirst into one of the busiest, wildest stretches in the sports calendar — and connect it all back to real life, real faith, and the pursuit of integrity in a chaotic world. The conversation opens with a fast-paced recap of the latest action across the sports landscape, including the thrilling World Series finale, the launch of the NBA and NHL seasons, and the ever-spinning chaos of the college football coaching carousel. NFL talk dominates the next segment, beginning with the Chicago Bears' surprising 7–3 record and the Detroit Lions' emotional rollercoaster season.  The group continues by comparing team-building philosophies, contrasting the Eagles' bold, trade-driven roster strategy with the Lions' more hesitant approach under Brad Holmes. This leads to a wider conversation about officiating — a familiar source of "Holy Discontent" — including the perception that controversial calls often go against Detroit. They commend the ACC's transparent replay system and then shift to the billion-dollar private-equity proposal being considered by the Big Ten. Michigan and USC are pushing back, raising concerns about valuation and binding long-term commitments, sparking a deeper conversation about how college athletics is drifting toward a fully transactional model. Bill laments how NIL has fundamentally changed college basketball and shares his longing for a simpler, relationship-driven era of college sports. David echoes that sentiment, reflecting on how sports and even politics feel increasingly exposed, with the "romantic curtain" pulled back for good. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire discussion of FIFA's controversial World Cup ticket practices, NCAA sanctions, and the ripple effects of Michigan State's punishment in the college football scandal. Finally, the crew closes with a powerful reminder about character and legacy, inspired by Maryland basketball coach Buzz Williams, who said he hopes to be remembered not for wins or money but for being a faithful husband and father. Another week, another blend of sports talk, cultural insight, humor, and faith as the Church Pew Sports crew helps listeners see the bigger picture behind the games we love.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson Pastor Paul Miller David Collins Randy Gilmer --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

Offense vs Northwestern Starts at :51 This doesn't even qualify as a top five weird Northwestern game (we list our top five). This week's snack of the week is organic pumpkin seeds. On one level, this kinda looked like Michigan's best game of the year on offense and defense. Michigan comes out slinging it and Bryce's confidence seemed like it was at another level, but he made young mistakes. What happened on Bryce's sacks? Playing Northwestern always kinda feels like they have your signs. Michigan was able to counter some of Northwestern's defensive counters. Most of the mistakes are coming from freshmen which is just something that happens. Missed cuts on zone is whatever but missed cuts on power isn't good. Bryson Kuzdzal came in and did just fine. Bryce's scrambles were pretty good and mostly improvisation, his interceptions were freshman stuff. Safeties were baiting him, can he anticipate that in the future? The first interception was not understanding how to read the coverage, the second one was just needing to throw the ball better. Andrew Marsh made the Michigan catch of the year, you have a dedicated receiver going into next year. You could have 12 of 14 boxes in a great position next year. Andrew Marsh is the best freshman receiver since... Manningham? How much does this performance mean against Ohio State? The reverse fumble is on Chip Lindsey.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Northwestern Starts at 44:15 Northwestern came into this game with a pretty good ground game and they got stuffed. This was a good game to run the 5-2 in, Northwestern is on the opposite end of the spectrum from USC. Northwestern's gamesmanship cost them two false starts, Michigan tipped what they were running multiple times. The defensive backs got beat a few times but sometimes a receiver just makes a nice play over you. You probably don't want to put Zeke Berry on Jeremiah Smith, Jyaire Hill is getting his star back. Brandyn Hillman tackled with his arms! He's grown as a much more mature player over the season. They're defending screens now! TJ Metcalf body-slammed a guy.   3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:08:55 Takes hotter than suburban Chicago in mid-November. There seems to be differing views on how much people liked this venue for a football game. The camera shots were weird. Seth and Dave think the inside of the stadium is magical, Brian not so much. It might've actually been 90% Michigan fans. They did the best they could with clock management at the end of the first half. What about timeouts at the end of the second half? Zvada kicked the ball into the street outside of the stadium. Brian takes responsibility for the missed field goals by changing the preview. Semaj got replaced, he's a better player than he's performed but he may be overdue for a mental health break. 4th down decisions. NFL calculator says there's a complete coin flip in decision making. It shouldn't be a holding call if you're getting your ass kicked. Semaj was on the ground with the ball but they didn't overturn the fumble? There's no transparency between officiating and the fans, other conferences and sports are getting better at it. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:59:37 USC 26, Iowa 21 Iowa jumped out to a nice lead but scored zero points in the second half. The Hawkeyes lost three offensive linemen. The universe is paying them back for all the 10 win seasons they had no business having. USC is now a legitimate playoff contender.  Indiana 31, Wisconsin 7 This was a sludge fart for Indiana in the first half but put it away in the second. Wisconsin is one of the worst Big Ten offenses ever contemplated. Most of Wisconsin's offense was off of a couple weird plays.  Penn State 28, Michigan State 10 A rock fight between two of the worst teams in the league. Michigan State had 15 wins over the last three years... well at least they did. Penn State won the very ugly trophy which might actually be the best trophy and they looked like they really wanted it. Illinois 24, Maryland 6 Maryland is not even trying to run the ball anymore. Illinois ground them to a pulp. Don't throw at Maryland, just run them over.  Washington 49, Purdue 13 Washington doubles Purdue in yardage and most of that was likely garbage time for Purdue.  Oregon 42, Minnesota 13  This feels like danger zone for PJ Fleck. They could lose to Wisconsin?? Ohio State 48, UCLA 10 UCLA is without Nico in this game, their backup has never thrown a college pass. UCLA is moving out of the Rose Bowl??  MUSIC: "Slow Burn"—The Rose City Band "Swans"—Maston "Optimism"—Jana Horn “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra  

Indiana survived a sluggish shooting performance to defeat Incarnate Word 68-61, moving to 4-0 in the Darian DeVries Era despite shooting just 20.8% from 3 and missing several open looks throughout the game. The Hoosiers built a comfortable 19-point lead with stellar defense through the first 30 minutes, but allowed Incarnate Word back into the game late before responding with clutch plays from Tucker DeVries and Tayton Conerway to close it out.Brian Tonsoni and Bob Moats break down what happens when a perimeter-oriented team can't buy a bucket, examining how Indiana's defensive intensity (holding Incarnate Word to 0.95 points per possession) and physicality on the boards in the second half kept them in control even when nothing was falling offensively.Sam Alexis's game-changing spark off the bench with 16 points (5-7 FG), 8 rebounds, and energy that completely shifted the game's momentum when Indiana needed it mostTrent Sisley's rebounding impact with 8 boards in just 20 minutes, attacking the glass with aggression that helped Indiana turn around a poor defensive rebounding startThe Spain action to start the game getting Reed Bailey an easy dunk, showcasing DeVries's willingness to use his best shooters as screeners in creative waysTayton Conerway's all-around excellence with 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, and the playmaking that kept Indiana's offense from completely stallingConor Enright's hustle plays throughout all 33 minutes, including key offensive rebounds and defensive pressure even when the blocking foul calls didn't go his wayThe concerning final 8-10 minutes where Indiana let a 19-point lead shrink to 5, showing they need to learn how to finish games with intensity even when aheadIndiana's defensive pressure and screen navigation forcing two shot clock violations and disrupting Incarnate Word's offensive flow for most of the gameAll that and more in this edition of The Assembly Call.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Prior to coaching, she was a standout gymnast at Alabama, where she helped the Crimson Tide win two NCAA team titles.Geralen joins us to talk about how the transition is going, which new faces you might see in the lineup this season, the team's goals, and more.A huge shout-out to our friend Dr. JD Barton for helping us with this interview.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Christa, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, M, Derek H, Martin, Sharon B, Randee B, MSU, Kimberly G, Robert H, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Mama T, Kelsey, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Bethany J, Diane J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Taryn M, Dana B, Jamie S, Chuck C, Je_GL, Kaitlin, Susan P, Mallory D, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Debbie, Kay, Diane J, Julie B,, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Kristina T, Abigail W, Becky, Ola S, Jennifer K, Kate M, Claudia, Erin L, Sarah A, Kennedy B, Thomas B, Kihika N, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Tyler, Hayley B, Ben S, Kate, Landon, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Dana C, Grace, Pat G , Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Ruby B,, Róisín, Becca, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Brittany A, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Trish, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Karlin, Laura L, Katy S, J'nia G, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro, Caroline P, JD B, Cookiecutter, Ailish D, Wil D, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Kerry H, Ricardo A, Brandon, Leah D, Joe S, Margaret G, Molly, Marco B, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Amelia G-G, Lauren DSO & Sarah M!
