Episode 296 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're continuing our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.Arguably one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Satchel Paige was an absolute legend on the mound.After he ran into legal trouble in his youth in Alabama, Paige focused on his love of baseball and learned to pitch in a reform school. Upon his release, the young right-handed Paige became a star in the Negro Leagues. Armed with a devastating fastball, an array of breaking pitches and multiple release points, Paige dominated the competition as a member of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Kansas City Monarchs.Paige was a six-time All-Star, won a World Series in 1942 and even displayed his talents in the California Winter League against legends like Joe DiMaggio. Paige even found success outside the Negro Leagues in places like Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.In 1947, Paige and Bob Feller went on a barnstorming tour of the country which played integrated exhibition games between some of the top talent in baseball.Though a past injury had limited his fastball, Paige became the first African American pitcher in Major League Baseball in 1948 for the Cleveland Indians. What made that even sweeter was the fact that he pitched in and was part of Cleveland's World Series winning team that season.Paige then made two All-Star teams in 1952 and 1953 as a member of the St. Louis Browns in 1952 and 1953, and even pitched at age 59 for the Kansas City Athletics in 1965!Paige ultimately received the highest honor in the sport in 1971 when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #satchelpaige#baseballplayer#baseball

The strongest man in the world 50 years ago was Vasily Alekseyev of the Soviet Union and there he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated on April 14th, 1975. The question is… was he a nice guy? Apparently the answer was no. Because also in that issue was the 2nd part of a 4 part series from the book, “Nice Guys Finish Last,” from former player and Hall of Fame manager, Leo Durocher. The “Lip” was a heckuva ballplayer, spanning 20 years with the Yankees, Reds, Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1925-1945. A 3-time All-Star, and 4-time World Series champion, Durocher ended his playing days as a player/manager in Brooklyn and would go on to retire as the 5th winningest skipper in MLB history. Starting in 1939 with the Dodgers and then spending 8 more years with the Nw York Giants from 1948-1955, Durocher won his only World Series as a manager when Willie Mays and the Giants swept the Cleveland Indians in 1954. The next year was his last in New York and he wouldn't manage again until the Cubs hired him in 1966. Chicago was 59-103 in his first season guiding the team but didn't have a losing season in the remainder of his 5+ seasons at the helm. He would finish his Hall of Fame managerial career in Houston with another winning season in 1973. On that '73 teams was a young lefty who started 40 games for the Astros, completing 12 of them and amassing 279 innings pitched. Jerry Reuss was just 23 years old when he played for Durocher and the two had an adventurous time together with Durocher riding his young stud as often as he could, and Reuss often questioning the tactics of the veteran manager. It was a memorable season in Houston for the southpaw who would go on to win 220 games in his 22 years in the bigs. Reuss tells us how he pranked Dave Parker when he and The Cobra met up with Muhammad Ali in an elevator while playing for the Pirates. He takes us to Candlestick Park on a warm June night in 1980 when he no-hit the Giants, and he recounts the time Ron Cey was beaned in the head by a Goose Gossage fastball in the '81 world Series. But more than anything we talk to Reuss about what was it like for a kid born in 1950 to play for a manager who had been managing in the majors for 23 years by the time their paths crossed in the Lone Star state. It was a bumpy ride to say the least. Reuss tells us that much of it was his fault and that he and Durocher didn't see eye-to-eye most of the time. He goes on to tell us that years later they met up in the office of another Dodgers manager, Tommy Lasorda, and both admitted they could have handled things differently. Reuss and The Lip patched things up and shortly thereafter, Durocher passed away.  One of the greatest managers in baseball history was a mercurial and difficult man who never finished last in his 24 years as a manager. Was it because he was a Hall of Fame manager or because only Nice Guys Finish Last? In Durocher's case… probably a little of both. Listen, download, subscribe and review the Past Our Prime podcast.

In the summer of 1974, the Cleveland Indians had a big problem. Hardly anyone showed up for their games. It was embarrassing! So, the team's management brainstormed ways to get butts in seats. Ultimately, they opted to host a handful of 10-cent beer nights. They hoped that the cheap beer would draw people to the stadium. The good news? The plan worked! The bad news? It was pandemonium! Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Fifty years later, the chaos of Cleveland's 10-cent beer night still shocks,” by Zack Meisel for The New York Times “10 cent beer night: An oral history of Cleveland baseball's most infamous night,” by Vince Guerrieri for Cleveland Magazine “The night beer and violence bubbled over in Cleveland,” by Paul Jackson for espn.com “10-Cent Beer Night: A look back,” video by Sports & Extras Network “Ten Cent Beer Night Was A Total Disaster,” YouTube video by Weird History Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

My guest for Episode #523 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Mike Eisenberg. He's been a filmmaker since 2010 with his production company, Tall Tale Productions, after completing his B.A. in Journalism at Marietta College in Ohio. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Mike's father, Dr. John Eisenberg, was a leader in national patient safety efforts as the director of the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) until his passing in 2002. His legacy is prevalent throughout Mike's presentation, as well as his approach. His new documentary, released last September, is titled “The Pitch: Patient Safety's Next Generation.”  He previously joined us in Episode #329, where we discussed his film "To Err is Human."

He now speaks at hospitals, universities, and conferences, where his insight provides a new perspective on a problem that persists across the globe. In today's episode, we explore the evolution of patient safety and the transformative role of technology in healthcare. The conversation dives into how innovations—from advanced command centers to cutting-edge virtual reality and AI applications—are redefining how hospitals prevent and respond to medical errors. The discussion challenges the conventional blame-and-shame approach and instead highlights the importance of building systems that foster trust and resilience among healthcare professionals and patients alike. We also examine the nuances of integrating technology into complex healthcare environments, discussing how effective communication, standardized protocols, and smart design can work together to minimize human error. Drawing insightful parallels with industries like aviation, the episode offers a fresh perspective on the critical need for systemic improvements and the potential for new technological solutions to drive the next generation of patient safety. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How is technology transforming patient safety in healthcare? What role do advanced command centers, virtual reality, and AI play in preventing medical errors? How can healthcare shift away from a blame-and-shame culture? What strategies build trust and resilience among healthcare professionals and patients? How do effective communication, standardized protocols, and smart design minimize human error? What lessons can be learned from the aviation industry regarding safety and error management? What challenges arise when integrating technology into complex healthcare environments? How can innovation drive the next generation of patient safety?

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast, where each week we pull some movies off the shelf and recommend a few you might want to watch. This week's theme is sports comedies, specifically some great ones from the '80s that still hold up. If you're in the mood for underdogs, quirky characters, and a lot of laughs, these films should hit the spot.The Best of Times (1986)This one often flies under the radar, but it shouldn't. Starring Robin Williams and Kurt Russell, it's a heartfelt comedy about reliving past mistakes and trying to rewrite history on a small-town football field. Williams plays a guy still hung up on a dropped pass from years ago, and Russell is the former star quarterback who gets roped into a plan to replay the game. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, the movie balances humor with some surprisingly emotional moments. Major League (1989)A classic baseball comedy about a ragtag Cleveland Indians team that's supposed to fail but manages to surprise everyone. Charlie Sheen stars as “Wild Thing” Rick Vaughn, a pitcher with a blazing fastball and no control, alongside a great ensemble cast including Tom Berenger, Wesley Snipes, and Rene Russo. Directed by David S. Ward, the film has a sharp sense of humor but also doesn't shy away from celebrating the game itself. The film was so beloved it sparked two sequels, though neither quite captured the charm of the original.Caddyshack (1980)What's a sports comedy list without Caddyshack? Directed by Harold Ramis, this movie redefined the genre with its irreverent humor and unforgettable cast, including Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray. Set at a country club golf course, it's less about the game and more about the absurd characters and their crazy antics. One of my favorite characters, the gopher puppet, was added late in production and ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the film. If you haven't seen it or haven't watched it in a while, it's always worth revisiting.Wildcats (1986)Goldie Hawn leads this football comedy as Molly McGrath, a high school track coach who takes on the challenge of coaching a boys' varsity football team in a rough neighborhood. The film has a lot of charm, mostly thanks to Hawn's performance, which balances humor with just enough seriousness to make you root for her and the team. It's also an early film for Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, who both went on to major careers. This was a great cable TV comedy and I watched it dozen of time on HBO and still bought in on VHS.That's the lineup for this week: The Best of Times, Major League, Caddyshack, and Wildcats. Each one brings something a little different to the table, but they all share a love for sports and comedy. Let me know what you think, and if there's a movie you'd like me us recommend, leave us a comment. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Catch the Spirit of Giving The Christmas season is a time for giving and Dr. Gary Hoag inspires generosity even more than the big guy in a red suit! Gary is known as “The Generosity Monk,” and while he may not wear a monk's robe or embrace a vow of silence, he finds deep fulfillment in spending solitary time with the Lord and is dedicated to empowering ministries worldwide through Christian generosity.   Catch Gary's infectious generosity on this special rebroadcast of his Cedarville Story. Gary is a baseball-loving Ohio farm boy and graduate of Cedarville University. His goal as a young man was to be successful in business and have season tickets for the Cleveland Indians (now known as the Cleveland Guardians), just like his grandfather. God had different plans.  Gary was called into ministry, first in Christian higher education at Biola University, Colorado Christian University, and Denver Seminary, where he learned the value of holding his plans and possessions loosely. Trusting in the Lord's blessings became his intent, purpose and focus. Though he never secured those coveted Indians season tickets, Gary's obedience to God resulted in an unexpected blessing — annual tickets to the World Series!  He has generously shared that gift with more than 1000 baseball fans and has seen God work through the relationships built in the stands. As the CEO and president of Global Trust Partners, Gary acts as “a conduit of the Lord's blessings and a delivery boy with a message from God.” Through teaching on stewardship, he strengthens churches and ministries worldwide.   Gary is also a prolific author, a consummate family man, and a steadfast follower of Christ.

Jim is joined by former producer for ESPN's Baseball Tonight and the creator of the website "Cooperstown Cred", Chris Bodig, to break down down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB starting pitcher Luis Tiant. First, Chris and Jim cover Tiant's famous windup and where it ranks among the greatest windups we have seen on a pitching mound (6:55). Next, they discuss Tiant's legendary performance in the 1975 World Series, his largely forgotten dominant 1968 season with the Cleveland Indians, and why Tiant reminds us both of a lot of Juan Marichal (12:02). Finally, Jim and Chris rank Tiant among the best pitchers of the 1960s/1970s (33:05), before both stating whether or not they believe he deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (43:22).

In 1948, Dizzy Dean was firmly established in his second career as a baseball broadcaster, having retired from playing in 1947. This was Dean's third year calling games for the St. Louis Browns and Cardinals, a role he began in 1941 shortly after his playing days ended. Dean's unique style of broadcasting, characterized by his folksy humor and unorthodox grammar, had already made him a fan favorite behind the microphone.The Dizzy Dean Show was a regular feature on radio during this period, showcasing Dean's personality and baseball knowledge. 1948 was a significant year in baseball, with the Cleveland Indians winning the World Series and Babe Ruth passing away in August. Dean's show likely touched on these major events while providing his signature commentary on the current baseball season. His perspective as a former star pitcher, particularly his experiences with the St. Louis Cardinals' Gashouse Gang in the 1930s, added depth to his analysis of the game.#DizzyDean #BaseballBroadcasting #1948MLBSeason #RadioSportsShow #FormerPlayerAnalyst

Take two. We are joined by Jason Michaels, a Cleveland Indian from 2006-08, and part of the 2007 team that beat The New York Yankees in the playoffs. Our first guest with "Midge Game" experience and some great stories from his time in Cleveland. Jason founded " The Big League Approach" (thebigleagueapproach.com) where he helps players focus on the mental approach to the game. 

Baseball history writer Scott Longert ("Love and Loss: The Short Life of Ray Chapman"), joins the show for an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman (1891-1920) whose tragic story continues to resonate more than a century later. Chapman rose from humble beginnings to become one of the American League's top shortstops of the 1910s. His exceptional talent on the field, coupled with his marriage to heiress Kathleen Daly, positioned him for a life of privilege and success. Yet, his promising future was cruelly cut short during the 1920 pennant race when a high fastball from Yankees pitcher Carl Mays tragically ended his life. Longert goes beyond the familiar narrative of Chapman's untimely death to paint a broader picture of his remarkable yet brief life, from his rise as a baseball star to his pivotal role in what would ultimately become the Indians' first-ever World Series championship season. Longert also explores the heartbreaking ripple effects of the tragedy, including the devastating toll on his widow and young daughter. Join us as we delve into Chapman's enduring legacy as a Cleveland icon, the chilling events of that fateful game, and his lasting impact on baseball and its history. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Yinzylvania (20% off promo code: GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE): https://yinzylvania.com/GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "Love and Loss: The Short Life of Ray Chapman" (2024): https://amzn.to/4eMGCA7   FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

In 1966, Bob Feller was a decade removed from his playing career, having retired from the Cleveland Indians in 1956. By this time, Feller had been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 and was established as one of the game's legendary pitchers. His career spanned from 1936 to 1956, interrupted by his service in World War II from 1942 to 1945.This radio clip features Feller reflecting on the concerns he and other players had upon returning to baseball after World War II. Feller's perspective is particularly valuable, as he was one of the first major league players to enlist after the attack on Pearl Harbor, joining the Navy just two days later. His experiences bridged the pre-war and post-war eras of baseball, giving him unique insight into how the game and its players were affected by the global conflict. Feller likely discusses the challenges of readjusting to civilian life, regaining baseball form after years away from the game, and the changes in the sport during the war years.#BobFeller #BaseballHallOfFame #WWII #PostWarBaseball #MLBVeterans

Well, we did a great interview with former Cleveland Indian, Jason Michaels, but the cloud is keeping this masterpiece all to itself. We had some technical difficulties but the show must go on! Ethan (EthanTabor5) and Natalie (@nats_sportschat) dive in to the changes with The Cleveland Show, the incredible start to the Cavaliers season, the terrible start for the Browns, and we can't forget the Guardians news. Stephen Vogt, rookie manager, now the 2024 American League Coach of the Year! Tons to unpack as we shake off the rust on these mics.

In 1948, Jack Benny was at the height of his radio career, hosting The Jack Benny Program which had been on the air since 1932. Known for his comedic timing and self-deprecating humor, Benny often incorporated sports figures into his show. Bob Feller, on the other hand, was in his prime as a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. 1948 was a significant year for Feller, as he helped lead the Indians to a World Series championship, their most recent title to date.This radio interview brings together two icons from different fields at pivotal moments in their careers. Feller, at 29 years old, was coming off a season where he led the American League in strikeouts and complete games. Benny, at 54, was successfully transitioning his radio show to television, with the first televised episode airing in 1950. The interaction between the comedic prowess of Benny and the athletic expertise of Feller likely provides an entertaining blend of humor and baseball insight, capturing a moment when radio was still the dominant medium for both entertainment and sports coverage.#JackBenny #BobFeller #1948WorldSeries #GoldenAgeOfRadio #BaseballHumor

Frank Robinson was the first black manager when the Cleveland Indians hired him, but there was another black player who managed before Robbie . . . . On November 4, 1948 Jake Powell, 39, former big league baseball star, shot himself to death in Washington police headquarters late today while being questioned on bad check charges.Powell had been picked up at the Union Station the complaint of a local hotel where he had been staying the past three days. After Powell was taken to the check and fraud division of local police headquarters and during the questioning police said he asked permission to leave the room for several minutes. Police said he stepped outside the door pulled out a 25-caliber revolver and shot himself once in the chest and once in the right temple. With him when he was taken into custody was a woman who identified herself as Josephine Amder, of Deland, Fla. she told police she and Powell had planned to be married during the day, but later changed their plans.But Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, to whom the ballplayer had been married several years, said she was still his wife and as far as she was concerned there had been no separation.On November 4, 1889 — After a formal meeting of representatives from all National League chapters, the Brotherhood issues a “Manifesto” in which it claims that “players have been bought, sold and exchanged as though they were sheep instead of American citizens.” This bold statement constitutes a declaration of war between the Brotherhood and major league officials which will soon explode into the formation of the Players League.86 years later . . . .On November 4, 1976 — The first mass-market free agent re-entry draft is held at the New York Plaza Hotel. Among those available are Reggie Jackson, Willie McCovey, Joe Rudi, Don Gullett, Gene Tenace, Nate Colbert, Rollie Fingers, Don Baylor, and Bobby Grich. McCovey and Colbert are the only two players not selected, but McCovey will catch on with the Giants in spring training and have a banner year at his old first base position. Jackson will go onto star for the New York Yankees and win two World Championships. Fingers will have several excellent seasons for the Padres and Brewers...

Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on June 4, 1974. The promotion was meant to improve attendance at the game by offering cups of beer for just 10 cents each, with a limit of six beers per purchase but no limit on the number of purchases made during the game. Things did not go well... Plus, Joel has a fun Facebook Marketplace interaction and we go through our picks for Week 9 of the NFL.

- Bob Feller- Ernie CalverleyIn 1966, Bob Feller was a decade removed from his playing career, having retired from the Cleveland Indians in 1956. By this time, Feller had been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 and was established as one of the game's legendary pitchers. His career spanned from 1936 to 1956, interrupted by his service in World War II.This radio clip features Feller discussing Ernie Calverley, a name more associated with basketball than baseball. Calverley was a standout basketball player at the University of Rhode Island in the 1940s, known for his long-distance shooting ability. He briefly played professional basketball in the Basketball Association of America (a precursor to the NBA) from 1946 to 1948. Feller's comments on Calverley in 1966 likely provide an interesting cross-sport perspective, potentially touching on the early days of professional basketball or the intersection of different sports in American culture during that era.

Jim Abbott is an University of Michigan Baseball Hall of Famer and veteran MLB pitcher known for being born with one hand. His parents never treated him any differently and taught him to live independently and joyfully. Growing up, Jim played multiple sports and joined his high school football team as quarterback, but he ultimately chose baseball when he went to University of Michigan. As a kid, Jim's dad worked with him to improve on speed and technique, perfecting what's now known as the Abbott switch. While pitching, Jim would balance his glove on his right wrist, where the arm ends, pitching with his left arm. When fielding, he'd quickly switch the glove to his left hand. Despite having offers to play professionally out of high school, Jim opted to attend University of Michigan where he earned the Golden Spikes Award. 1988, Jim's junior year at University of Michigan, proved to be an exciting one as he won Big Ten Athlete of the Year, signed with the Angels, played in the Pan American games, defeating Cuba in the finals, AND helped lead the US Olympic baseball team to gold at  the summer games in Seoul, South Korea. After playing with the Angels for four seasons, he was traded to the Yankees, where he and his wife navigated big city life as a young couple. In 1993, Jim famously threw a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians, and the season was halted the following year due to the MLB strike. He eventually signed with the White Sox as a free agent and then re-signed with the Angels in 1996. Jim discusses his struggles through his professional career and how he had to meet some deeply-buried fears head-on to realize and appreciate that there's much more to him as a person than playing in the MLB. Jim retired from baseball in '97 and unlocked his passion for sharing his story to encourage others to persevere and overcome seemingly impossible challenges. mentordna.ioLinkedIn

Fired up for another opportunity to do what I love, behind the microphone and in front of this camera (for those that are watching) sharing my thoughts and analysis on ALL that's happening in sports. On deck: (6:39) MLB is in the middle of their championship series as two teams are halfway to the World Series. The Yankees have handled the Guardians over the first two games of the series, winning both without breaking a sweat. Have I really been paying attention to this snoozefest of a showdown? I'll talk about that on the back end of the baseball segment. The NLCS has the Dodgers up 2-1 after another shutout in a blowout Game 3 vs. the Mets. I'll get into why the Mets MUST win Game 4 and even breakdown how important it is for them to get back to California up 3-2 with one game to punch their ticket to the Fall Classic?! CORRECTION: I said the the 90's Cleveland Indian teams never got to a World Series in that decade (although I mentioned they lost to the Braves and Marlins in 1995 & 97 respectively). I meant to say that they never WON a World Series. My apologies for the error. (29:18) After another disappointing loss on Monday night, the Jets may have found their cure to their recent losing ways acquiring former Raiders WR Davante Adams, reuniting him with QB Aaron Rodgers. I'll explain why this is NOT the case that Adams will come in and save their season. There was another big move in their own division just hours after Adams coming East as the Bills trade for Amari Cooper. How big of a factor will he be for QB Josh Allen and their offense? Jerry Jones is in the news again. He had some not so nice words for a couple of radio talk show hosts about the state of the Cowboys. I have a few not so nice words for the ubiquitous owner of America's Team. I'll peek at the Week 7 schedule, where there are a couple of good games (DET-MIN, KC-SF) and two more Monday night games? (47:23) College football has another big weekend with two enormous games (Georgia-Texas, Alabama-Tennessee) but what does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Is it much? Is it little to none? (53:34) The NBA tips off in five days. I'll review what the over/under win totals are as I prepare for an NBA Preview next week. (59:42) On the ice, there was a wonderful tribute in Columbus for their fallen player, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who both died due to a bike accident in late August. What's going on in Colorado? The Avalanche have gotten off to an 0-4 start to their season. I'll discuss that, Edmonton finally getting a win after three losses, the fast starts in Dallas and Calgary and a goaltender scoring a goal as we're ten days into the regular season.

Things Discussed: L'shanah Tovah. Sorry this was late to get up; I had to bail to get to 10 o'clock services. Seth & Craig on early to talk Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Indians. Washington games past: origin of the The Wave when we played them in the '80s, played them a week before September 11th Edwards and Mullings on the field together got the defensive reaction they wanted, but they blew the blocks. Brian: Having trouble understanding the logic behind offensive decisions. They changed QB when there were constant obvious errors from the starter but not center, not right tackle? We're not seeing practice so something there has to make this make sense. Why aren't they calling QB runs? There was one vs Minnesota, preserving hits makes little sense. Orji missed some major reads, even when they were easy. When they run the plays that fit their personnel it looks like they haven't repped them. They're running 9th grade versions of their wheelhouse things, and aren't running the constraints to them. At the very least: called Orji runs, and have Donovan Edwards and Kalel Mullings on the field all the time. Defense: fine. Took few gambles, none of them worked. Sam: Only thing that makes sense is they want to keep hits off of Orji by not calling QB runs. Washington: How is a team putting up 500 yards of offense not putting points on the board? Craig's metrics say they should beat Michigan by 4 TDs. UW's offensive line is Not Good. They have a QB and an RB and a WR but they shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and missed field goals and blocked field goals. Brian: This is a trap for Michigan. Washington has been playing better than their record, Michigan's been playing worse than their record. Husky Stadium: Very loud stadium. Michigan fans WEAR MAIZE to break up their purple-out. Another new challenge for Orji (but he played against Washington last year). Matchup of the game: Michigan's defensive line has to do to UW what they did to USC. Washington is going to tempo: Michigan wasn't lined up correctly when Minnesota did it. Michigan: You have to play 4 quarters, can't fall apart in the 3rd quarter. Officiating last game: Bad calls gave Gophers 10 points: hands to the face was one of the worst calls of the decade, can't fault them for missing the non-catch on the Hail Mary. Minnesota tried to make the onside kick a thing but they had two other reviewable penalties on that play so if they don't call offsides Michigan calls for a review and they still rekick it. Washington defense: what you see is what you get.
