Samples and demos at https://therealvoice.com Congrats to Full Barrel Co-op Brewery & Taproom - officially serving up beer in their North Street taproom in Burlington, VT for the first time tomorrow! https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/life/2022/01/12/burlington-full-barrel-co-op-brewery-taproom-open/9156578002/ Your coolest new place to drink might be a bookstore. While bookstore bars have usually been bookstores first with OK coffee, and both wine and snacks from a box - things are changing. Bookstore bars are now as much a bar as they are a bookstore and are looking to build a sense of community over a great read. They are a better place to bring a date, and you can read a good book while sipping a glass of wine in a big comfy chair. It turns out that the businesses help each other, not only in creativity but in revenue - when your book sales are low, the bar can keep the business afloat and vice versa. What's not to love? Check out some highlights in this article on the subject https://www.eater.com/22882395/bar-bookstore-cafe-trend-natural-wine-coffee-menu Monster Beverage Corporation is now going to be a Brewing powerhouse after acquiring the CANarchy Brewery Collective - adding craft beer and hard seltzer to their company.

Perrin Brewing Perrin Reserve 2019 is a Russian Imperial Stout by style. Perrin Brewing 2019 Reserve is a triple mashed Russian Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels. This beer was made with honey, caramelized lactose sugar and aged on golden raisins to create a uniquely rich and flavorful celebration beer. Perrin Reserve 2019 is 12.8% ABV and 12 IBUs.

In this episode Amy Sherman and John Gonzalez rundown some of the best beers of the spring live from Perrin Brewing. 

Perrin Brewing Malted Milk Ball Vintage 2019 is a double porter by style. Paying homage to one of our favorites treats, we deconstructed the flavor profile of a malted milk ball to create a malt beverage brewed with lactose and spiced with vanilla and cacao nibs. We then laid it down to age for 9 months in Oak Bourbon Barrels. This craft beer is 12% ABV and 30 IBUs. In this craft beer review, we will take a look at the color, smell and taste.

Perrin Brewing Black Ale is a Dark Ale by style. This beer is counter-intuitive. It pours dark as night but drinks like a summer afternoon. A light bodied crisp yet flavorful dark ale with hints of semi-sweet chocolate and nuances of fresh coffee. This craft beer is 5.8% ABV and 20 IBUs. In this craft beer review, we will take a look at the color, smell and taste.

Perrin Brewing Blackberry IPA is a Fruit Beer by style. This seasonal brew combines the tart sweetness of ripened Blackberries along with an aromatic floral bouquet of fresh hops. This craft beer is 5% ABV and 35 IBUs. In this craft beer review, we will take a look at the color, smell and taste.

MICHIGAN SERIES: Having brought in guests from all over the country this past year, we wanted to still be true to our roots, so we have began the Michigan Series. A series of Michigan Brewery owners, employees, brewers, and sales reps, talking about what is happening here in the state and what is happening at their facilities. Join us on this continuing series throughout the rest of the month of December!SHOW INFO: Eric Plata and Connor Klopcic join us to talk about the updates of Perrin over the last year and a half since we last celebrated No Rules 2019 Day with Perrin.  Eric has joined the team in 2020 and is hoping to expand the lager making at Perrin while Connor has taken more roles at the brewhouse making sure everything is running in top shape as they've began to address what the current and future will hold for distribution.  Join our discord - https://discord.gg/Hyz9q5t6bKSubscribe to Better on Draft - https://plnk.to/BODSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6AlzP1BH0iykayF856bGRc?si=Dq21lUZcTyOe3IMwQCHp0wiTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-on-draft-a-craft-beer-podcast/id1091124740https://www.betterondraft.tv (LIVE 7pm ET)https://www.facebook.com/betterondrafthttps://www.untappd.com/bodpodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/betterondrafthttps://www.instagram.com/betterondrafthttps://www.twitch.tv/bodpodcast

Day 67495 of quarantine. Lefty joins us again this week while we discuss the allegations against Biden. Protesters continue to march in Lansing this week. Are they worth talking about and how much are they contributing to spreading COVID? We also discuss how we are socializing while remaining distant. What is your favorite method? Zoom, Discord, Skype, something else? Sadly, the beer choices did not sit well this week. Listen in for our thoughts on beers from North Peake and Perrin Brewing.

Tried CJ Stroud, but he picked OSU. Have offered Dan Villari instead, a hyper athletic bigger guy and only a three star. Should go to Michigan. Michigan signed Blake Corum at RB, a borderline top 100 type who they had to hold off from OSU. Jay Harbaugh is the most underrated recruiter on the coaching staff. Corum is totally different than Haskins, Turner, and Charbonnet, built more like an OSU running back. RB has gone from the biggest question on the roster to maybe the deepest on the team. Gaige Garcia is nominally still in the class but on a wrestling scholarship, Tru Wilson might be best case scenario. AJ Henning is an ideal slot receiver for Gattis. Will probably play next season in the Giles Jackson mold. Eamonn Dennis is one of the likely sleeper picks of the class, a lot of similarities to Sainristil, also a Massachusetts guy and could play CB. Michigan’s scouting has been pretty good recently. Roman Wilson was a spring bloomer, also very fast. This could be Michigan’s fastest class ever. At TE, Matthew Hibner shot up the ranks but fell just short of 4* composite- 247 likes him a lot more. Hurt to lose Theo Johnson but Hibner makes it hurt less. Nick Patterson is probably not joining the class. Not as big of an OL class as last year, this is more of a supplemental class. Michigan had to beat ND to get Reece Atteberry. Jeffery Persi is a Greg Frey type and is Seth’s sleeper of the class. 2. Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz: Defense starts at 25:20 Braiden McGregor was the crown jewel of this recruiting class, Michigan beat ND for him. Temper expectations for McGregor in year one because of a knee issue. McGregor often played all over the DL in HS. Aaron Lewis is a Kwitty Paye type DE. Already a DE logjam going into next year, not a lot of rush for either to play. Kris Jenkins projects to DT as long as he puts on some weight. Michigan hasn’t neglected DT at recruiting, signed two top tier guys last year. Jaylen Harrell was a late pickup, a borderline top 300 edge with good bend in the Uche mold. Michigan chose Harrell over Van Filinger. Kalel Mullings is a good MLB prospect who has comparisons to Anthony Solomon as a freshman, should play special teams. Osman Savage is a guy that Michigan loved from the first satellite camps. Mohan has a ton of athletic potential who could be the next heir to the Devin Bush/Cam McGrone throne. Senior film for a lot of the linebackers was terrific and reassured Lorenz about a lot of them. Versatility is a theme on defense now. Jordan Morant has some Khaleke-type tape, Michigan fought hard to hang onto him. RJ Moten is more of a pure safety. Paige is a high floor guy, safe bet to be solid. Andre Seldon is a little short and has been playing both corner and safety, good athlete. If he was two inches taller, he’d be a 5 star, has great coverage instincts. Dorian Green-Warren will commit to a team (Michigan favored) at Army game, should enroll early.  3. Superlatives, with Adam Schnepp starts at 52:25 Overall this is an underrated class, with not a ton of big names. Hard to talk recruiting with people that don’t know a lot this year. Adam, Seth, and David go through their picks for biggest whiff, biggest recruiting win, favorite prospect, and more. 4. Five Questions, Five Answers, with Adam Schnepp starts at 1:19:22 David has to bail for this segment so it’s just Seth and Adam. Michigan seems to be more interested in converting strong side DE’s into DT’s than recruiting DT’s straight up. Michigan needs to beat OSU and make the playoffs to get top tier recruits. Coaching staff seems to be doing more scouting than going after five stars recently. Michigan will probably be okay at QB, may need to rely on a grad transfer at some point. Some great names in the 2021 recruiting class, and Michigan has a 5* QB leading it off. MUSIC: I've been waiting all year to do this: Ann Arbor native (and friend of the family) Andr Mayer Hawthorne!

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, Perrin Brewing, and The Athletic -------------------------------------------- 1. Football starts at 1:00 On Michigan's side only Nico seems like any shot at a 1st rounder, guys who declared and seniors are expected to play. On Bama's side, Jerry Jeudy said he'll play, and they have three projected first round receivers and eight guys projected in the 1st round who have a choice to make. Tarik Black leaving could mean Nico and DPJ are leaning toward staying? Receivers of the future: we'll see but Michigan can use their slots more. Don Brown interviewed for BC job, went to OSU's DC (not Matty) so what happens with Mattison? 2. Louisville, Iowa, and Illinois starts at 26:52 UL was a schedule loss: forced Teske to make threes or long two's with high hedges. Counterintuitive to blitz X because he's not a great shooter. Someone else with athletes will try this. Iowa: highest-scoring Big Ten regulation game since 2002. Michigan is balanced; Iowa is not because Michigan and Iowa both had the same gameplan. 44 points by Garza: an arena record? You coach to the game. Illinois: Michigan doesn't hit their threes, Kofi Cockburn is a problem. Lewis Garrison literally knocked out of this one; other two refs clearly capable of doing a better job with him off the court. 3. Hot Takes and Oregon starts at 59:42 David's hot take voice is extremely British. Craig thought the Oregon game was one of the loudest ever. Craig advocates for a huge lineup with Johns & Franz with Livers at the 2. Impressed by Pritchard, who's the first guy to run X off the line. Two insanely long reviews. 4. Expectations starts at 1:36:32 Johns could be a season-changer. Brooks's floater game isn't so efficient that you can discount DDJ taking more of his minutes down the line. Castleton is falling out of rotation as they find something they want in Johns. Trip around the Big Ten: Minnesota and Penn State are going to be tough to beat on the road, Ohio State looks like a real #1 thanks to Wesson.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, Perrin Brewing, and The Athletic -------------------------------------------- 1. The Game starts at 1:00 One of the most frustrating things about this Game is the guys making the mistakes were the upperclassmen who dominated in their roles all season. Why have a defense? Sad field goals? Ain't gonna fire Jim Harbaugh because he's going to keep putting out S&P+ top ten teams. Ain't gonna fire Don Brown because he's one of the best. Josh Gattis looks like a keeper. Jon Runyan survived against Jon Runyan. We're never going to beat Ohio State until the system changes. Pay the damn players already. 2. The Battle for Atlantis: ISU and UNC starts at 13:15 They should not play in this tournament again; surprised nobody got hurt when there's random water appearing all over the place. Are long twos good, because Michigan is forcing its opponents to take all of them. ISU: Wagner looks like another big out there, shot looks good. UNC: A beating, even with Michigan's two biggest stars fouling out with over 5 minutes left. Michigan's turnover-forced rate is terrible because they're forcing teams to dribble into two range then shoot. Also this was the Eli game (24 points on 16 shot equivalents). NBA thinking: if you have an isolation advantage go get it. 3. The Battle for Atlantis: Gonzaga starts at 36:55 House money until they get a five-point lead and then it's on. X has changed his shot so it gets out quicker and he's still making them. Changes the offense that he can go to the paint either way too. Multiple times this year we've been furious about turnovers and then they put up a graphic and Michigan's above average. Wish we had redshirted him so we could see what he'd develop next year. Tired Teske: logged a lot of minutes and still managed to play good defense. Wagner's length was a huge problem for the Zags. Also he's as expressive as his brother when he gets a bad call. Refs: Zaga was fine until the flagrant that wasn't. UNC was getting calls on flops; the one on DDJ when Cole Anthony jumped under him was atrocious. Brooks was 1 of 6 from two but they were decent late-clock shots and a runner. Best case scenario for this season was DDJ or Brooks is starter-caliber and they both are. Brooks: still acts like a role player, just his role is assassin. Haven't seen Juwan's team increase ORebs from Beilein, suspect the 2-3 zone was from Phil Martelli. 4. Hot Takes and the Big Ten. starts at 1:05:33 Going into the season it looked like MSU and the field. Michigan could beat Louisville and be #1 in the AP, not that rankings matter. Ohio State are also playing like contenders. Maryland is not. Purdue is too weird. In both of MSU's losses they doubled Winston until he gets the ball to Tillman and make him shoot outside. Rocket Watts: terrible start, Foster Loyer is unplayable. IU resurgence: not worried if their best player can be matched by Teske. Wisconsin is looking like what we thought Wisconsin would, and Reuvers is trying to do the Happ thing. Rutgers is a top 75 team; they're not good but they're not going to be the worst in the conference by far. Speaking of: Nebraska is abject. Northwestern too, but beat Providence. Louisville: terrifying on paper, blew out some barely top-100 teams.

Battle 4 Atlantis Recap with Ace starts at 25:20 Is there a roof on the ceiling? No. Ace was impressed with the defensive turnaround between UNC and Gonzaga. There’s still a lot of low hanging fruit with this team: Franz being worked in, Simpson turnover rate quite high even after a strong weekend. Eli Brooks is a revelation, an excellent defender. Has any Michigan player progressed faster in one year than Brooks? Livers does not need a lot of space to get a shot up any more. Not facing many late shot clock situations. Michigan doesn’t allow you to take threes or have assists, they want you to shoot iso twos. Seemed like they got the short end of the stick when it comes to refereeing, fouls should go down when that corrects itself. No nervousness when Castleton comes into the game. If Michigan can beat Louisville… 3. OL Discussion wsg Thomas Guynes starts at 52:25 Discussion about the OL at Michigan and across the B1G. Michigan doing better on twists on the interior, still struggling to move the line of scrimmage at times. An overarching theme in college football: a lack of competition. Who has Bama played? Who has Chase Young faced in terms of great OT’s? Haskins is the #1 at running back right now. 4. Indiana Recap and Ohio State preview starts at 1:19:22 Indiana dinked and dunked quite a bit but their drives came to a quick end when Hutchinson, Paye, and Uche came off the edges. Michigan didn’t really respect Indiana’s interior OL. Shea was dealing on offense, we haven’t seen that guy in awhile. For the first time all season, Shea felt good enough to beat to OSU. Michigan did some new RPO stuff to confuse Indiana, getting them out quick enough to potentially avoid Chase Young. Ohio State has been dominant this season, and it starts with Chase Young, because there isn’t a ton else in the pass rush outside of Young. Of Davon Hamilton’s 4 sacks, 3 are against Maryland and Rutgers. Michigan needs to focus on Young and hope they have enough time to hit some downfield shots to make the defense loosen up. Corners Wade and Arnette grade out as okay but not great in PFF. Even if Okudah is on Nico, you still have to try. Linebackers are better but more exploitable to the RPO. Weather will probably be insignificant. Fields has minor ankle and thumb issues. Seth isn’t as impressed with the OSU OL. They spread it out and let Fields run it.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, Perrin Brewing, and The Athletic -------------------------------------------- 1. The Offense starts at 1:00 Start with the stupid—when Giles Jackson wasn't initially ruled down on his kickoff return we felt in for it. Announcers, Tom Allen's fire-up speech don't help. The Whop for Hawkins trade. First time one of the fearsome foursome receiver recruiting class got over 100 yards(!!!). Nico Collins DPI magnetism. Transition period didn't need to not do that. Things that don't happen anymore: confusion before a snap, timeouts because they're disorganized, running things that don't have a counter. Good downfield adjustments by the young slots. Who can stand up to these receivers? Wheel route to Giles Jackson: looks exactly like Michigan's RPO game. Interior OL: best Brian's ever graded. 2. The Defense starts at 32:19 Indiana's scripted drive worked with those TE flare screens. Phantom DPI on Lavert Hill worked, Ambry and Lavert feel very differently in run defense: note how Indiana played a screen from trap coverage on that TFL versus how Hill stopped and the guy got around him. Then: shutdown time. Kemp and Hutchinson caused the pop-up that Dax Hill fielded. He's alright that guy, whose first start is broken down. He did fail to switch on one rub route. Dwumfour's limited role. The Uche idea: I believe in not trying to run a jet-around at the guy who immediately steps upfield. Lane integrity versus scrambles: a rare breakdown, next time Ramsey got sacked. McGrone missed a tackle on the TD. PI business: first play is horrible, second one is PI, holding behind the LOS: that's never been called before, but if the ball's in the air it's not defensive holding because—duh—the guy is basically a running back. 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, Game Theory, and Hoops starts at 51:45 Do you know how to football? Yep, you play until the whistle! Last IU guy prevented what was going to be a 50-yard return. Wildcat snap on 3rd and 3 (unless you're running it twice?). Screwed up end of the half against IU again! Two-point conversion: legitimate tactical decision. Hart contributed to the Dumb Indiana Feeling with his first two very weak punts. Indiana's live stats were very drunk. Speaking of very drunk: 86 possessions against Houston Baptist! Everyone's pulling out the record books at halftime. Bajema! X went left! Nunez: ~~~~~~euh, went 2/8 but most of those shots looked good. His defense…euh. Castleton looked nice, got up and down the floor well, more comfortable on defense. British student announcer was offended by HouBap shots; Brian was offended by Dragon Ball Z. Everyone but Wilson scored. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:14:06 Iowa-Illinois: too depressed to yell BIG TEN! Illinois forced a lot of FGs, Peters 4 YPA, Illinois lives off turnovers and died by the TO. One was a flea flicker INT. They have the Maryland offense of run defenses. Wisconsin-Purdue: Jonathan Taylor rampant. Backup kicker hit a 62-yard field goal (woulda been good from 62.3), breaking a record from the 19th century. Rutgers 140 yards of offense, MSU gets 5.1 YPP versus Rutgers. Rode Elijah Collins, and he got stuffed twice on 4th and 1. Devontae Dobbs rotated with 3 other guys at LT: roster mismanagement on the tackles is on the list of things wrong with MSU. Maryland played four quarterbacks against Nebraska—none had a pick (don't forget the six sacks though). Three yards short of a passing Rutger. Locksley-Gattis debate: resolved. Northwestern Rutger'd themselves by getting a lead (2-0) while having negative yards. Penn State evisceration (5 YPP) covered up by OSU fumbles. Penn State's rushing defense absolutely destroyed.

NOTE: Our sound card that converts the audio to digital crapped out so we were using a weird mixer this week. The audio quality suffered as the mixer found weird ways to emphasize some things and not others. Seth sounds far away. Brian sounded too quiet on the live feed. We should have it sorted out next week. wsg Steve Lorenz (@TremendousUM) and Craig Ross The Sponsors We can do this because people support us. You should support them!

Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz starts at 1:00 Steve Lorenz of 247 comes onto the podcast to talk about Michigan football recruiting, including the hunt for a QB, TE, and a CB. 2. Hoops So Far, with Craig Ross starts at 25:20 Craig was right about Eli Brooks proving himself as a real player. Matt D thinks Brooks is Michigan’s best defender, Craig thinks it’s Teske. Defensive rebounding is rough but sample size. A glimmer of hope with David DeJulius. Little bits from Johns, Castleton, and Nuñez with Franz in the wing. The big question: can rebounding get better? Turnovers? Can the 3 guard lineup work? It’s working for Ohio State, with DeJulius playing better it could for Michigan. When Franz comes back he should get a lot of the Nuñez minutes and then some. Craig thinks OSU is the real deal. Purdue can’t shoot right now, should still make the tournament. Maryland’s 3 point shooting needs to be better, as does their free throw shooting. Pieces are there, but they’re Maryland. Elon seems to be a better team than advertised. App State isn’t bad. Both of those are better than Houston Baptist. Creighton is a top 40-50 team. 3. Michigan State After UFR starts at 52:25 Michigan’s game plan was just toying with MSU. Michigan got to the edge frequently, getting 175 yards off of those and had a few RPO’s for 44 yards. Diverted the attention away from Willekes and Raequan Williams. There wasn’t much double A-gap blitz from MSU. State seemed surprised by the RPO’s like this is still 2015. Ronnie Bell had a phenomenal game, especially blocking. WR blocking as a whole was great. Bubble screens, end arounds to test the edges set up by blocking. Michigan is probably going to have to replace two wide receivers in the offseason and Brian feels okay about it. Michigan ran zero pin and pulls, while MSU probably practiced against it constantly. Patterson’s stats were great but he didn’t grade out well due to accuracy. Got bailed out by receivers, but not many bad reads. Defensively: not much to say. Metellus loses the plot a couple of times and a there’s a TD early but not many other negative things. Defensive ends being so good has allowed Michigan to mask some of the deficiencies at DT. Khaleke Hudson is now the greatest punt block guy in Michigan history. 4. Indiana Preview starts at 1:19:22 This is probably the best Indiana in a long time. A trap game except everyone respects Indiana. Peyton Ramsey is back at QB while WR Whop Phylior is in concussion protocol and TBD. Nick Westbrook is somehow still at Indiana. All of their WR’s are loping downhill guys. Stevie Scott is back at RB, he’s just Big De’Veon Smith. They don’t get a lot of big runs and Michigan is good at preventing them. They might hammer away for four yards at a time but the interior OL is bad. Michigan will probably be in the 3-3-5 a lot. Indiana goes 5 wide all the time but it’s mostly dink and dunk. Seth is adamant that Michigan is a bad matchup for Indiana. The defense is not talented but well coached. Tiawan Mullen is a great corner and is a true freshman. Indiana is highly dependent on blitzing to get pass rush, which is good for Michigan since M is great at blitz pickups. MUSIC: The Lucky So & Sos are a Washington DC-based jazz/funk/hip hop band.

The State of State and the Offense starts at 1:00 It's over. Without the most unlikely finish in the history of football, Dantonio is 1-4 against Michigan, and that win is with five interceptions from John O'Korn. They lose the best parts of this team, their recruiting is worse than Tulane, and he's about to sit for a deposition. Who's taking over? Secret Santa to decide who's offensive coordinator. After the shaky start they score on every drive. A relief to see Michigan come into a game like this and attack the secondary. Patterson buys time productively. Feeling good about Gattis now, which is important: can't keep going through coordinators. Counterpunches to the way MSU plays so aggressively against the run. Flare screens put LBs in conflict. Cornelius Johnson: brilliant play design. Guz Malzahn ran that play to beat Alabama. DPJ dumpoffs working because Sparty safeties are not 5-star athletes. Transcontinental: shoulda thrown it to McKeon. MSU's top tacklers were all in the back seven. 2. Defense and the starts at 30:03 First late hit on DPJ was not a late hit. Aiden Hutchinson gets a PF for one shove in a mess around the goalie. Cody White and Luke Campbell got PFs for the same play: White got it for taunting. Black got one for flexing at nobody. Lavert Hill: one arm flex is okay even if you stop the play on purpose to do it. Jacub Panasiuk is the guy who on two separate instances tried to get Michigan injured: twisted Higdon's leg (Higdon got flagged) and tried to break Ruiz's ACL (Onwenu got flagged) last year. Defense: says something that MSU's first play (and one of their better ones) was a backwards pass they fumbled. Max run by MSU is 4 yards—Michigan's defense this year isn't a TFL fest but they make it work by being stingy after a yard. Khaleke Hudson shatter machine tag: reactivated. They got off the bus with their helmets on. Is that not the most little brother thing? Are they going to get out of bed with their helmets on? Sonny the equipment manager designed the pants and had a Bo hat on the statue while the game was on. Brian: I just thought they took Giles Jackson's pants. MOVE! and line shift worked again, turned a 4th and 1 into a punt block. Seniors are unloading on MSU on Twitter. Ambry Thomas is literally undefeated against blocks when this is what we were concerned about coming out of high school and he had the stomach issue. Dax Hill DPI: receiver is fighting to get somewhere but it's not the ball: Dax has won over the top of the route. Especially frustrating coming off the PI they didn't call on Nico. #FreeJulianBarnett 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, Game Theory, and Hoops starts at 58:15 I need you to be as angry as a Panasiuk down 38 points. Fixing the environment in Crisler by filling the lower bowl. Harbaugh's WWE-style callout. Khaleke Hudson passes Marquise Walker as the greatest punt-blocker in Michigan history. Used Giles Jackson well in this game. Game Theory: 4th and 3 was a good idea, got a DPI, not M's fault it wasn't flagged. Creighton: M managed to slow the game down. Nunez defensive liability, can see his shooting, is a placeholder for Franz. Eli Brooks is a trend. DDJ is coming on. Want to be up-tempo but Pink Teske problem nerfs that. Played Bajema. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:35:06 Flexing with one arm to avoid a personal foul. Northwestern won by 39, line moved to under that but if you got it on 40 you were brutally wrong. Iowa fluked away the Gophers. Jonathan Taylor has reached the records part of the season. The 21 points to Rutgers is the most Ohio State has given up all year. Johnny Langan even got a 1st quarter TD. MUSIC: "That's Where You're Wrong"—Arctic Monkeys "Humble"—Kendrick Lamar "God's Gonna Cut You Down"–Johnny Cash “Across 110th Street”

Maryland After UFR starts at 1:00 Patterson started well with accuracy and then really trailed off. Without a credible QB running threat, running out of the shotgun is only going to be mediocre and that’s where we’re at. They left Shea’s running in the garage. Brian not optimistic that it will all come together against a very good defense. Had a trap that was just power. This feels more and more like a Harbaugh run game week by week. Backs are going to need to be willing to cut up field if the pin and pull is now the base running game. Anthony McFarland stiffarmed McGrone. Mike Danna had a very nice game but unfortunately he’s going to be gone next year, will probably get drafted. Uche probably going to the NFL too. Vincent Gray had the best coverage of his career. 2. Gimmicky Top 5 things that are irretrievably broken starts at 24:04 We count down the top 5 things that are irretrievably broken. 3. MSU Preview: Offense starts at 1:08:32 OL has 3 guys who are definitely out, one guy sat out last week. Started two true freshman last week and starting a guard at RT. Devontae Dobbs seems to be hurt which is why he’s not starting on the offensive line. Top WR Darrell Stewart is out for this game, while their top TE is out for the year following Illinois. Two backup running backs are starting after a bunch of transfers, one of them looks like a dude: Elijah Collins. Receivers are Cody White and not much beyond that. Lewerke was doing a lot of running against Illinois. 4. MSU Preview: Defense starts at 1:25:24 MSU’s defense has taken a step back from dominant to just good. Seth thinks it’s because they lost an NFL safety and replaced him with Xavier Henderson. Panasiuk-Williams-Willekes are a good defensive front but weakness now without Bachie. Just run power away from Willikes. Antjuan Simmons is good when he doesn’t have to think in the viper-like position. DT’s are really good. Josh Butler and Tre Person are not very good corners. Nico is going to be open. Nico Collins needs to get 15 targets. Their kicker has been wonky this season. MUSIC: Neco Redd, a neo-soul artist from the West side of Detroit.

Basketball starts at 1:00 Recapping a Sparty No! for the ages. From the 4th and 16 pass to Illinois's version of Nico Collins, to keeping an obviously concussed Lewerke on the field for a pick six, to extending Illinois on 4th down by tackling their receiver in the end zone. Hoops vs Appalachian State. Nunez is a great shoo—oh he committed another foul. Wings: thin until Wagner can play. Ivory Towers lineup and three guard lineup tested. Eli Brooks more like Three-li Brooks: confident and can run the offense! Concern is for people who haven't seen Zavier Simpson play the last three seasons. Livers not off the dribble. Teske! Looked like a murderpost for the first half. Using his passing, saving his energy with the new pick & roll defense? Michigan going to try to draw fouls again! Around the league: Purdue looks interesting, Maryland looks talented as hell but going from watching Purdue play offense to Maryland is jarring. 2. Gimmicky Top Fives: Sparty No! starts at 32:45 Get your piss hot. 3. Hot Takes and Hockey starts at 55:16 It's an ECAC team out there right now. Pastas sending pucks on net and they're not going in. Defense looks organized. Fixed some of the things that needed to be fixed, except the power play. Don't yet have the talent to be the team they want to, and don't have the experience to be a good not talented team. Next year there's going to be some totally rad dudes. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:19:03 A very validating Row the Boat performance: Tanner Morgan has his second-best game of the year, with Sean Clifford going almost toe to toe (three interceptions, 23 more attempts, one more yard). Can't count Purdue right now. Need to talk about David Bell, who's kind of a dude already. John L. Smith and Brady Hoke were better in their last four years than MSU. They're running arc read. Brian Ferentz invented the quarterback draw. Ohio State conspiracies: Chase Young gets suspended, he's from Maryland, and Young's DeMatha HC is a Maryland assistant; corroborated by onside kicks and more running up the score.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Tip your Uber drivers. Bifurcation of the fanbase between people defending Shea Patterson and those blaming him for everything. Liked the called QB run and the direct snap near the goal line. McCaffrey takes are too harsh. Are we disappointed? Sorta? 2. The Defense starts at 32:35 Another sub-200 yard day obliterated by garbage time. Shutout also obliterated by the return. Feel bad because they were running Counter and our DTs aren't doing anything on them. Buying stock in NOT Booger McFarland's kid: stiffarmed McGrone. Josh Ross dressed, did not play, so redshirt still available. Metellus was playing down, they got him on the 3rd and 1. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 48:38 A return! Barrett buried a guy. Blocked punt on Maryland's left?-legged guy? They have a righty and a lefty. Quinn Nordin made his first attempt of the year. Hurry sneak on a 4th down that wasn't necessary because a review was about to show the spot was a full yard and a half short. Fake punt! Nice to have a former running quarterback as your upback listed as a linebacker. Flying wedge FTW! No fake punts from the spread punt except the rollout/nobody's here thing. Griese didn't prepare hard for this game. Miss Spielman. 4. Hoops & Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:11:22 Zavier Simpson is an important guy: we knew this. The green light goes on a lot earlier: good for Livers, fine as long as it's not an off-the-dribble two. Brandon Johns looked pretty good. Is he aggressive enough to be the fourth banana? Yes. Bajema redshirt? Nunez did not look good on D. Pick and roll coverage is now dropping the center. Instead of double-byes, let's have Thanksgiving in peace. What a Big Ten week it was. Illinois-Rutgers! Illinois plays at an empty MSU next week! Brian wants Dantonio to circle his wagons for one more year but he's got a seven-hour deposition before they've got one running back and a Theo Day/Rocky Lombardi battle to start at quarterback—their AD is part of the Dantonio cabal so he could come back right? Didn't take long for Indiana to make fools of the Wildcat bettors. Nebraska's 400-pound guy deserved a TD. Martinez is playing bad quarterback.

Name & Image Rights, wsg Richard Hoeg of HoegLaw starts at 1:00 Richard Hoeg joins the podcast to the NCAA’s astoundingly retrograde response to the California bill, which doesn’t say what your mainstream articles blindly republished that it said. Read it for yourself! 2. Notre Dame After UFR starts at 43:21 At long last: last year’s run game, but with some speed in space stuff. Michigan ran power to defeat the ND scrape exchange. Spread run game went from very bad to very good when deleting a guy became possible. Urban Meyer is unfortunately very good at analyzing football. Most important question: why did it take this long? There were some inexplicable ND screw ups and shouldn’t be underestimated. Still, run game is much better than running inside zone over and over again against Army. On defense, not much to talk about because Ian Book was dreadful. Made one read and then scrambled out of clean pockets. Hill and Thomas are significantly better than Vincent Gray at this point in time. Cleanest game from a defense in UFR history. Not a lot of organic pass rush, which could be concerning down the road. Uche dropped into coverage a bit. ND unprepared for zone. McGrone just needs to get a bit smarter and then he’s Devin Bush. Redshirt for Josh Ross? 3. Hoops Exhibitions: What to Look For starts at 1:07:14 Big questions: how much does Castleton play and where? And who plays at the 2 (DDJ, Brooks, Nunez, Bajema). Nunez is probably not in that seriously, not a good enough defender. Brooks looked okay at the open scrimmage, good defender. DeJulius was low efficiency in the scrimmage but is going to be an off the dribble, needs to be a knock down shooter. Question for 3-4: where does Isaiah Livers play? Teske will play 30 mpg, Castleton will play minutes, but the question is if the two can play together. With Johns, we don’t know about his mental state. He had a lost year of development as a freshman. Hopefully Howard can work with him. Should make the tournament, will take some losses early. 4. Maryland starts at 1:29:57 Ghost of Matt Canada is still in Maryland. Super explosive but nothing else. Their receiving corps is Notre Dame: one big downfield guy and nothing else. OL is brutal. Their QB situation is a revolving door with Jackson and Piggy both sorta hurt and a really bad third option. Their pass defense is awful, littered with injuries. Jon Hoke is their defensive coordinator. DL is tiny up front. They also have no sacks. Will get to garbage time in a hurry.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Spanellis: They call him Spam. Michigan rushes for 200 yards in the rain in a half. Whams and traps: Old Harbaugh stuff comes back (*cough cough just like Seth said they should in Foe Film cough*). A new bubble action gets Charbonnet past the safeties—that's how you get chunks! Brought out Down G, a big play on an arc keeper. Eubanks gave a guy a hammer panda. Ruiz and Onwenu were excellent at picking up blitzes on pin & pull, where you have to stop and pick that guy off. Went back to what they did last year and it turns out they run it well. Throwing it to Nico: how many times does he get interfered with? Turner: despite fumble issues, let's fix that and get this guy back in the rotation. If you play Jim Harbaugh and he's running 80% of the time you had a bad day. 2. The Defense starts at 34:06 Michigan students are incredible towel-throwers. Agree it was harder to hit Cole Kmet than the camera. John O'Neill: the worst. Kelly got crap for throwing in a hurricane but he couldn't run either. Ian Book was bailing clean pockets. ND was running man beaters against Cover 2. Got crushed by Michigan's 3-3-5 stack even. Kemp had a great game. McGrone has Devin Bush speed with a greater physical package, but he's not a direct comparison: Bush has unreal anticipation too. The Hawkins INT taken away was a solid #2 all-time after the Northwestern call on Higdon. Brian Cook is the world's only John O'Neill defender. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 57:04 Low-hanging fruit from Texas Tech and Notre Dame. Okay with field goal because you could be in an Iowa-Northwestern situation. DPJ had to stop fielding pouncing footballs in the rain. Poncho take: get the pyramid kind with the arms inside because then you can go in a cocoon and go on Twitter. Sad ten-second runoff. Weather destroyed Book and they didn't have a plan B, but this was on par with Wisconsin/PSU wins last year. They've come a long way since last September. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:19:13 A lot of bad offenses, a lot of rain. Mick McCall vs Iowa goes how that matchup was going to—Reigning Big Ten West Champs Northwestern could not win any Big Ten games. Rutgers upsets Liberty—Johnny Langan don't go out like that to Hugh Freeze. Illinois has bowl eligibility in the likelihood column: has Rutgers and Northwestern (and MSU on the road). State scored (darn) but the beauty of Dantonio's quotes is… Hamler not going here is sad, the reason he gave for not going to MSU is beautiful. Julian Barnett transfer? Row the boat! Ohio State doesn't need to practice anymore. WHOP! Luke McCaffrey debut. IU's football program is in better shape than their basketball program. #Ninewindiana requires a win at PSU or when Michigan visits.

Penn State After UFR starts at 36:32 Defense: 283 yards but 28 points. All the yards on a few plays. Referee calls didn’t get better on review. Disappointing pass rush day. Drag route stops set up the damage down the field, safeties biting up. Hawkins busts on two TD’s. Michigan is bad at tempo. Time to roll with Dax Hill? Lavert Hill is still too grabby when he doesn’t need to be. Bubble screens effective but had some things go wrong. Michigan bouncing between a bunch of things and aren’t great at any one thing. Execution still lacks. Patterson’s reads still aren’t great, he isn’t keeping it enough. What were we working on all summer? Micah Parsons was phenomenal. Pass blocking phenomenal, run blocking not good. Patterson better but still not quite what you want. Drops not as bad on re-look. Throw it deep more.. 3. Barbecue Tips with MGoBBQ Joe starts at 54:08 Joe Pichey joins the podcast to discuss barbecue tips, his career, food trucks, and more.. 4. Notre Dame starts at 1:27:17 Ian Book seems to have regressed and both teams are disappointing right now. Notre Dame’s faced some bad defenses and has done okay against them. Don’t seem to be firing on all cylinders, especially in the passing game. Chase Claypool probably not underrated anymore. Chris Finke is back and is Drew Dileo. They are really good in pass protection according to PFF. Brian Kelly really doesn’t want to run. Michigan’s defense is pretty close to Georgia who did a good job against ND. Michigan’s defense should be fine. Offense more questionable. Can Runyan hold up against Okwara and Kareem? ND has great pass rushers. They deal with RPO’s like MSU does. They have feisty but small corners, throw deep balls against Troy Pride Jr.! But the weather… can Shea stay accurate in those conditions?

The Offense starts at 1:00 A few ways Michigan could have won. One would have been to catch the damn ball. Another would have been anything approximating even officiating because OMFG. Three would have been to recruit KJ Hamler. Bubble screens worked: yay. Shea had his best game this year but drops: DPJ had three. Great tradition wmith Herbstreit is when he does the downfield cam and sees nobody open when a lot of people are actually open. Why can't we run a screen? TE blocking problems. Finally they didn't fumble, and they dropped all the balls. 2. The Defense starts at 26:43 Give up 283 yards and more than half of that is on four plays, including the Freiermuth pushoff. Penn State targeted two wide receivers this game. A few bad matchups but seriously they shut them down. Michigan's not Ohio State good, and Ohio State is the only kind of team that can overcome a team as decent as Penn State getting the calls they got. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 41:52 Three horrible fourth down decisions. Punting on 4th and 1 in plus territory, and your punter is terrible at pinning guys deep! Punt on 4th and 3 in the deep 3rd quarter. Surprised Penn State didn't put Hamler back there for the 58-yard field goal when you don't have Nordin available (they did, then called a timeout). This is the stuff the rest of college football has fixed. Frames called timeout on himself when there's 21 seconds left and he knows he's gonna punt. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 56:58 Jamie regretting he left his BPONE comfy chair. Brandon Peters mom dropping bombs on Twitter. Illinois had zero trips into the red zone, Peters is 9/21. Whole Rutger ruined, Rashad Batemen is a dude.

[After THE JUMP: a rundown] -------------------------------------------- 1. Isaiah Todd and Other Five-Stars wsg Matt from Endless Motor starts at 1:00 Isaiah Todd has committed. First 5* since McGary/GRIII. Comparison is fluid and more switchable version of DJ Wilson. There are some motor concerns that made him drop 10 spots in the rankings. Brian is cautious on Todd, can he define a program or is he just a piece? Todd changes the perception of Michigan as one of Those schools. Makes Michigan relevant in elite basketball recruiting again. His mom was pretty protective and was a big factor in the recruitment. Everyone likes Juwan Howard. The college route seems to be preferred right now but we have to see how RJ Hampton plays out. Michigan will be gigantic next year. Big questions this year: what happens with Castleton and Johns this year? We’re likely to see a lot more transition this year. The issue for Johns is mental, not athletic, needs more confidence. Todd shouldn’t have the athletic limitations that Iggy had. More posting up with Juwan. 2. More with Matt: How Does This Class Finish? starts at 36:32 Michigan has three more open spots in the 2020 class. One is held for Jace Howard but he can be pushed out to non-scholarship if needed. Juwan looking for a center: Mark Williams or Hunter Dickinson? Duke wants both. If Dickinson makes it out of Durham without a commit, Michigan is in good shape. Dickinson and Todd are good fits with each other. At the 2-3 spot Michigan’s got a few options they have a good shot at: Nimari Burnett, Josh Christopher, Moses Moody, and Jaden Springer. Hopefully M gets one. In the 2021 class Khristian Lander is a guy Michigan has a great shot at, maybe he reclassifies? Todd is already actively recruiting for Michigan. 3. After UFR: Illinois starts at 54:08 Michigan revived their running game by going back to last year, mixing in the split zone and the pin and pull. Michigan is messing up the low hanging fruit, just not making the right reads. If those QB reads happen, chunk plays might start to happen. If those happen, passing game opens up. Mayfield did a lot of good things and some very bad things. Onwenu was dominant, other people now think he’s an All-American. Bredeson is underrated by the UFR grading system. Ruiz has scuffled this year. We need to see more blocking from Eubanks against non-Illinois teams. Brian is optimistic about Michigan’s running game against PSU. Bell turned 15 yards into 70. No one on defense was dominant, mostly everyone was good. Glasgow great, Kemp productive. Metellus had some uncharacteristic gaffes. 4. Penn State starts at 1:27:17 Feels like it’s going to be a slog. PSU played Iowa like Michigan played Iowa. Two good defenses. Tommy Stevens deserts State College and Sean Clifford is now in. Noah Cain is really great at getting yards after contact, Michigan will have to be weary of him. Their offensive line still isn’t great because of the sanctions era. They rotate on the OL and Seth doesn’t know why. Clifford has Shea-disease, struggles against any offense who come after him because he panics. KJ Hamler gives them easy yards. Michigan’s pass rush should be a real factor. Against good defenses, their OL puts them behind the sticks, Clifford isn’t good enough to get them out. Outgained by Buffalo and Pitt, under 300 yards to Iowa. Their defense is somehow the best run defense in the country but level of competition is a factor. They’re mostly the same guys that Michigan paved last year. Michigan will need Onwenu to move Robert Windsor. PSU comes at you with the pass rush and play a lot of zone, not great for Shea and passing game. MUSIC: Featured tonight: MGoReaders, the Neal Anderson Quintet.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Are fumbles systemic or just really random and bad? Turner's the only fumbler we're worried about; that's why Haskins is ahead of him on the depth chart. Shea's reads are not going away—the 4th down was throw up your hands it's over. Ronnie Bell catch & runs, Eubanks shot down the field and got two blocks. Michigan's receivers may be in the BPONE; they're not getting much action. 2. The Defense starts at 23:54 Fine until tempo, when they got illegal substitutions and weren't set. They don't tempo in practice so they're not ready for it…still. It's a program thing; Harbaugh's not going to be one of the top five coaches in the country. Michigan got got by the Michigan State OPI play. Metellus lost a ball in the sun? Just track the receiver—it's 3rd down. Too handsy in the secondary: Ambry, Khaleke. Vincent Gray needs another year to get his jams down. Glasgow tackle on Williams was awesome. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 42:56 Ace is okay with turtling at the end of the 1st half. Mr. Weird Punts. Blocked a punt: punter got the ball back and was 1 second away from punting it again. You can punt it to a teammate behind the line and he can advance the ball or throw the ball. Transcontinental punt. Subplot where Michigan kept trying to put Illinois players on the ball. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:02:20 We've had 23 league games and the average margin is 21 points. Only two underdogs this year: Minnesota over Purdue, and Purdue over Maryland. Rutgers vs IU: 1 passing yard. The rare passing Rutger. Wisconsin wipes MSU 38-0, say bah to dah UP eh? Feeling better about our trip to Madison. MSU drive chart! When you are yelling at Hondo, it's over. I feel this cold in my soul. What's the name of the fake punt, the Dark Mantonio? Minnesota backs were at 9 ypc at halftime vs a Martinezless Nebraska.

After UFR: Iowa starts at 1:00 Shea wasn’t quite as bad as thought at the time, but still not good. 54% DSR. Patterson took two drive-killing sacks where he missed open guys and runs into sacks. He feels worse than last year. Brian is in favor of a QB switch when McCaffrey is back. Milton? Runyan did okay against Epenesa, Bredeson had a good day on the ground. Michigan had one simplified drive and they need to replicate it to have offensive success. The equivalent of iso ball in football. Running game is still stuck in the mud. What’s Michigan’s base right now? This feels like it all comes down to Gattis because the Harbaugh rush game trademarks are not there right now. 2. Gimmicky Top Five starts at 31:42 This was a lot more fun. Michigan has an answer for drag routes, there are still some kinks in the process though, guys missing assignments. More zone, not 80% man anymore. Michigan is able to disguise blitzes better. McGrone is so athletic, able to credibly blitz from linebacker depth. DL had pressure coming from all angles, pocket constricting. Michigan can zone blitz all of Hudson, McGrone, Glasgow, and Uche depending on the play. No need to run corner blitzes. Dwumfour had a nice day, used quickness as a run defender. Iowa has NFL offensive tackles and Michigan still got pressure. Secondary was challenged more than in recent weeks and mostly passed with flying colors. Dax Hill starting to look more like a weapon to pull out. Brown finally back to Dr. Blitz. 3. Holly Anderson and a Gimmicky Top 5: One-Sided Relationships starts at 53:14 We invite a member of the only college football podcast to our college baseball, basketball recruiting, and beard appreciation podcast. 4. Illinois starts at 1:06:54 The Power of Lovie’s beard. Brandon Peters is hurt and Illinois is down to a 3rd stringer at QB who was a 2 star recruit. Illinois won’t do anything against Michigan’s defense unless Reggie Corbin runs wild. There is some speed in space on this offense. They have a really good RT. If Dwumfour has a good day, or Michigan shuts down Corbin, that’s big. Could be a proxy for future spread offenses on the schedule. Illinois’ defense continues to be a disaster and Lovie has had no answers in terms of fixing it. Patterson will probably look good because there won’t be much pressure. Michigan’s defense might outscore Illinois’ offense. MUSIC: Featured tonight: Blanche, the gothic indie-country folk medicine show revivalists.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, Perrin Brewing, and The Athletic -------------------------------------------- [After THE JUMP: on the one...] 1. The Offense starts at 1:00 Did that look like the #14 team in the country? Michigan is +4 in turnovers too. Patterson had an O'Korn performance. Terrible INT on a high-low read anybody should be able to make. First throw of the day is nearly intercepted too. Terrible sack he takes—Joel Klatt: "coverage sack"—literally every receiver is open. We're ready for McCaffrey at this point given Patterson's regression. One keeper and everyone says hurrah, and no more from the arc zone game until the 4 minute drill. What were you doing this offseason? Running game is getting nothing now because it's so simplified. Pass pro wasn't bad; Patterson made it look worse. 2. The Defense starts at 23:54 Dominant performance. Stanley under siege: Michigan was sending their OLBs against Wirfs and Alaric Jackson while Kwity was winning inside. Key drive at the end Alaric Jackson has to tackle Michigan's edge guys. Blitz package was great: Iowa goes five-wide, Michigan consistently got McGrone through. Surprised Stanley didn't fumble when he was Statue of Liberty'ing the ball. Hello Mr. Dwumfour. Four-DE package was killer. Ace: they suckered Iowa into a passing down in the redzone. Stanley's "pre-snap read" to Lavert Hill was thrown too well. Revenge fade to Oliver Martin—Ambry lucky it was uncatchable. Clearly there was supposed to be a safety over the top when Hill got beat. Shout out Khaleke for his run defense. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 42:56 If you take a TO to ice the kicker, the HC has to take a Gatorade bath. Running short of the sticks: who thought that was a good idea and why are we doing it? Maybe don't kick pop-ups to one of the kick returners in the conference? Didn't put two guys back on 4th and 20, let the Aussie angle it. Mirror Ferentz showed once, but had a shot in Michigan's territory when Michigan declined the delay of game penalty. Michigan finally got some fluck. Homecoming: we didn't get the traditional band show with Temptation/Hawaiian War Chant. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:02:20 Heisman stat padding afternoon for Jon Taylor. Purdue's out literally half their team vs Penn State; Louisville's going to have a better season than Purdue this year. The Journey: Rutgers. Blackshear and Sitkowski both redshirting to preserve eligibility for somewhere other than Rutgers. Tanner Morgan follows up 21/22 with not that. Pat Fitzgerald triple-ices kicker instead of getting another drive.

Rutgers After UFR starts at 31:42 Michigan’s run game is not going to be good until there is a threat of QB run. The run game opened up after Milton came in. Onwenu got a terrible PFF grade but Brian absolved him. Ruiz was a bit more problematic. Michigan seems to have piled on too much stuff and the guys on the line are still trying to figure out how to execute it. Michigan threw some fades! The interception was okay because we’re finally taking risks. The defense was pretty much the Cam McGrone show and he should get considerably more playing time going forward. Glasgow had a rough game and defending slants and his playing time could be in trouble. Mike Dwumfour exists! Got healthy against Rutgers, now Iowa is the big hurdle. 3. Matt Demorest Got Stung by Yellow Jackets starts at 53:14 Matt comes on to share some stories about his travel across the Big Ten. 4. Iowa starts at 1:06:54 Iowa’s TE is their former fullback. Oliver Martin is 5th on the WR depth chart. Ihmir Smith-Marsette is a very good burner on the outside. Brandon Smith is more of a jump ball type. Two NFL-bound tackles in Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson. Nate Stanley is this year’s inexplicably hyped-for-the-NFL B1G QB. Mekhi Sargent is solid, but he’s not Akrum Wadley. Just a guy. Play a 4-3 even and a cover 2 on defense with not as good of a secondary as usual, but with a monster at DE in AJ Epenesa. Michigan is going to have problems blocking him one-on-one. If Michigan can keep the QB clean, they should be able to throw on Iowa. Can Patterson exploit the zone? If there’s a threat of QB run, Michigan should be able to slice the team open. But what if Patterson can’t keep it. MUSIC: Featured tonight: Reader’s band Jes Cru, which is the most 1990s band I’ve ever heard, and would you’ know it: they played around Ann Arbor in the 1990s.

Wisconsin After Review starts at 1:00 That happened. Seth can’t understand what happened to Shea. The throw to Ronnie Bell was a successfully stupid decision from Shea. Mason’s fumble was mostly dumb luck. What happened to speed in space? Bubble screens? Mike Sainristil? Giles Jackson? Why is Nick Eubanks being used as a slot receiver? Why did it take until being down 35-8 to start throwing deep balls to Collins and Black? Michigan refusing to pave the Wisconsin interior is stupid. It got so bad that the Patterson interception was a DL tip from a design rushing play. They’re running RPOs that Penn State used to do under Moorhead. This was the worst possible game plan for the second straight week. What did we do all offseason? Michigan consistently 3 years behind what the rest of the country is doing. There were repeated errors on both offense and defense that just don’t make any sense. It feels like something is broken in the program overall. I guess Michigan was kind of prepared for Army?. 2. Gimmicky Top Five with Reid McCarthy Brian, Seth, and Reid give their gimmicky top 5 best coping mechanisms. 3. Sklar Brothers Segment 3: Interview with Sklar brothersThe Sklar brothers call in to talk about a variety of subjects ahead of their upcoming show in Ann Arbor. 4. Rutgers Rutgers tried to replace Sitkowski with a Texas Tech transfer but he got hurt so we’re back to Sitkowski. Rutgers has two good running backs in Pacheco and Blackshear. DT Willington Previlon is good. No pass rush whatsoever, which hamstrings the secondary. Former Michigan LB Drew Singelton is pretty solid.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, and Perrin Brewing -------------------------------------------- 1. Offense: Debut of Speed In Space Offense is different but not that different; Gattis keeping some things in the barn. Two-minute drill actually 2mD'd. Double QB formation was pointless and not very practiced. RPO-RPO-PA TD on the other hand is glorious. Four-verts TD to McKeon, and some bombs to Bell—they're not afraid to strike fast and deep. CoJo debut is a wrong-shoulder catch that none of us were expecting. Please put Nico in the slot if we're going to ball it up quick. Want some Harbaugh back in the offense. Charbonnet blitz pickups: on, trucking: on, acceleration: on, other backs: good enough that Tru's gotta be 3rd down back. Sat in pocket too long (both QBs) even when orbit motion got RBs wide open. Schoonmaker looks big. Karsen Barnhart ahead of all the freshmen. 2. Defense starts at 35:29 Hot takes. Cornerbacks: Ambry and Gray both looked really good. Still a three-man rotation—not weird for this game but weird if it goes on. Uche gets off the line so dang fast—this QB frustratingly kept throwing accurately after Uche's already nailing him. Ben Mason thing not going well. Going 3-3-5—that's one way to make chicken salad. Hawkins looked alright. MTSU's center went out screaming. Asher O'Hara you are so obnoxious. Hutchinson better pass rusher inside than out, Danna had a nice hurry, DEs nerfed by offense's design. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 1:01:55 Had timeouts at least but when you have timeouts you don't need to clock the ball and burn a down dudes. Of all the dudes to put back there for punt returns, NOT LAVERT HILL. Hudson had a lot of pressure on a punt. Moody had field goals, most of the kickoffs, Nordin had the extra points. Wall of the non-dressed teammates? Included German Green, Jalen Perry, Sammy Faustin. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:20:25 Northwestern: Hunter Johnson was terrible, this is going to be gross. Minnesota: lines are major concerns after getting pushed around by a (good) I-AA team. Tulsa is the most incompetent jokers ever—MSU crowd is chanting "We want Rocky!" Wisconsin: played a bad team but Taylor catching passes out of the backfield is terrifying. Rutgers had a functional passing offense (against a terrible defense, with three picks, but hey!). Purdue? Purdue??! Five turnovers…Purdue. Nevada's kicker got a scholarship after the game. Brandon Peters isn't the worst. Nebraska got into a game with South Bama? Hoosiers hold off Ball State. Iowa: Very Iowa, lose Alaric Jackson. MUSIC: “Blame It On The Tetons”—Modest Mouse “That's How We Burn”—Jaill “3am Spiritual”—Smith Westerns “Across 110th Street”

Preview Wrap Brian is tired and terrified by July betting lines. This feels like at least 10 wins but the identity of the one or two losses means everything. Michigan finally has QB depth and OSU doesn’t! Dylan McCaffrey will play. Michael Dwumfour is the guy who really matters on the interior and Brad Hawkins is an X-Factor too. Michigan took away slot fades last year but may have to change that approach, Hawkins will be the guy to defend those. 2. Bacon starts at 21:09 John Bacon jumps on the podcast to discuss his new book “Overtime”, which has been riling up people on Brian’s Twitter timeline. He shares stories about blackmail, Sarah Harbaugh, Grant Newsome’s leg, and amateurism in college sports. 3. Extra Bacon starts at 44:55 Bacon is high on Ryan Day but admits the uncertainty. He feels that Michigan is set up best of any season since 2006. Schedule is difficult but it sets up well. Indiana is the trap game of all time. Bacon thinks PSU and MSU is falling apart. Bacon says this is Gattis's offense now and the tempo change is the most important. Bacon says Harbaugh scheduled Army. Team feels this is the most relaxed it’s been since Harbaugh arrived. 4. MTSU Preview starts at 1:09:32 MTSU has a good slot receiver who is Giles Jackson but slow. Everyone is 50 lbs lighter than everyone on Michigan. Scott Shafer is the MTSU defensive coordinator. Seth feels that there’s nothing to learn from this game, Brian says that we can look at Brad Hawkins vs. the slot. Seth makes an Arrested Development reference. New QB after a 4 year starter leaves. MUSIC: Ever week on MGoRadio we feature a different local or friendly band. This week we’re honored to have Duke Charrell from Parliament Funkadelic (George Clinton’s band).

The Schedule (starts at 1:00) Seth fights to talk about MTSU's slot bug. Why are we playing Army? They go for it on every 4th down. Jonathan vs Michigan's DT situation doesn't sound great right now. Hornibrook transferred to FSU? The next wave of LBs weren't as eye-popping as the last ones. Cephus is back. Rutgers: everyone guess the winning margin. Iowa has an Epenesa, but DTs? Receivers? Illinois is a sadder version of Rich Rod-era Michigan. Rumor is Fox saved us from a night game at Penn State. Their QB bailed, they've got a Speedy Eaglet. ND: Kelly is more comfortable with Ian Book, going through an OL and LB transition, let's not talk about their DEs, Seth wants to talk about their Navy safety. Maryland should be not competitive—Anthony McFarland and co. can move. We're skeptical of Locksley. Michigan State has a defense, probably not that many more than 95 yards; Cody White ain't Felton Davis. IU got rid of DeBord, replaced with DeBoer, Tom Allen's team is no longer fun, just hateful and trending bad. 2. Big Ten West Preview (starts at 54:25) Bring the jug to Indy! 3.

Defensive Line (starts at 1:00) She's been comin' round the mountain. We all have different defensive ends. Danna is a super-Roh—gets very low and MAC types can't handle him. Doesn't make mistakes. Kwity Paye is Don Brown's perfect human, but we need to see some pass rush before we declare him so. Ace is all about Aidan Hutchinson. Vilain, Upshaw (who's 240) and Welschof and Ojabo are all in the future. Tackle…maybe not terrible? They need to get pass rush; Dwumfour is important and it appears he's got a soft cast on his hand so the injury holding him out currently isn't related to the injury last year. They're talking up Kemp as a guy who can hack it at nose but he's not going to be more than an undersized plugger. Jeter hype means that guy should be useful at least. Hard not to improve on a Kemp/Mone pass rush. More about not getting gashed in the run game; short version is they will. Now can we talk about Uche? What does Michigan need to go to a 3-3-5? The way the stack works is you're not supposed to know where it's coming from. 2. Linebackers and Hybrids (starts at 18:57) More Uche—they're going to get to 3rd downs for him—what can he do on 1st and 2nd? We're going to like Josh Ross just fine. Gil is an okay floor, we'd like McGrone, then Anthony, to pop. It sounds like it's Anthony and Glasgow as the primary challengers, with McGrone maybe one more year away. Need LBs who can keep up with running backs, maybe use a different one each week. 3. Cornerbacks and Safeties (starts at 34:47) So that's a bummer. We're taking the pessimistic road with Ambry but the optimistic road with Gray, because last year didn't happen until the very end and not many teams can do that to us. Daxton Hill is going to need some time to develop. At least they're saying the right things about DJ Turner. And okay, we'll buy Brad Hawkins. After those guys…euhhhh. Lamenting the 2018 class (and honorary 2018 Ben St-Juste). 4. Special Teams & Defense: Holistically (starts at 51:01) Moody is hitting those long ones now so it's him to start, but let's not forget Wild Thing is great and college kickers are weird. Will Hart outta nowhere. Not going to be a great but we're still top 25 and that should be enough. Seth thinks Don Brown has more interesting stuff to do. MUSIC "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love"—Usher ft.

The Quarterbacks & Running Backs (starts at 1:00) Shea is elite at finding a guy when running around, and elite at keeping the ball in his back's basket until a linebacker has to commit to that. Real quarterback competition? This guy is gonna play is about how good McCaffrey is, and what if Patterson gets hurt. The running backs: are you worried more about starting a walk-on, or the fact that Charbonnet was ranked so highly, because we're totally the other thing. Brian doesn't know Anthony Thomas is A-Train. Christian Turner is compared to Clarence Williams, whom I remember as C-Will but if A-Train provokes a response I'm not doing a –Will name. 2. Receivers & Tight Ends (starts at 27:25) Not hearing enough about DPJ for our ears, different takes as to what that means. Nico is awesome: same take as to what that means: THROW IT UP THERE! Ditto Black and DPJ. If safeties are up Michigan should go deep. Ronnie Bell is a hit and it sounds like Cornelius Johnson is one too. The slots have arrived, they are fun, they are freshmen, and two of them will play lots immediately. Positive about Sean McKeon despite a rough year when he was learning a new offense on the fly and a great year when he locked on. Needs to make more use of his speed—2017 he was a crossing route maven. Eubanks is a weapon that we want to see used more often. Decent or bad blocker depending on your starting point. Erik All can catch, we're still asking him to be a Funchessian receiver instead of a Funchessian tight end, but that depends on what they have in Schoonmaker and Muhammad. 3. Offensive Line (starts at 55:40) How good does it feel? Best OL in the conference? The interior is elite and huge. Runyan…wow, still an NFL guard at tackle, but an NFL guard—take it! Mayfield is at the start of a jumping off point—so athletic. Backups are viable, even with Stueber's injury. Might see a couple of the kids. 4. Offense: Holistically (starts at 1:16:36) Best since Denard (yes we know it's 2010). Remember when they put Denard under center for the Crimes Against Manpanda? RPOs! Modern football! Not being the slowest team in the country! Running game and passing game that actually play off each other! Running the same offense all year! Comps to 2000, Mad Magicians, Point-a-Minute, various top ten offenses. MUSIC "Vida 23 (Let's Have a Real Good Time)"—Pitbull ft. Faye "Timber"—Pitbull ft.

Meanwhile, Modelo brand family shipments exceeded 125 million cases, as depletions rose 12 percent.Newlands called Modelo Especial “the leading growth engine in entire U.S. beer market,” adding that it is the “fastest growing brand in the on-premise” and the No. 1 selling beer in 7-Eleven stores.“It is the fastest growing major beer in the industry, accounting for almost 40 percent of total category growth,” he said, adding that the beer is now the top selling brand in California.In 2020 fiscal year, Constellation Brands will make its “biggest marketing investment” behind Modelo, with television advertising during live sporting events as well as the roll out of 32 oz. single-serve bottles.Heineken USA to Pay Record $2.5 Million Fine to Settle Trade Practice ViolationsThe Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) today announced the acceptance of a record $2.5 million offer in compromise from Heineken USA Incorporated for alleged trade practice violations outlined in the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act.According to the TTB, HUSA supplied alcohol retailers with its proprietary “BrewLock” draft systems at no cost between August 1, 2015, and March 26, 2019.In a press release, the TTB said the BrewLock systems were designed to only dispense products packaged in unique kegs used by HUSA, which subsequently induced retailers into purchasing offerings made by the global brewing entity.Additionally, the TTB accused Heineken’s U.S. importing arm of making “slotting fee payments” to retailers, and disguising those transactions as “permissible activities” such as consumer sampling experiences that never actually occurred.Brewers Association: Craft Growth Outpacing Overall Beer MarketThe BA, which released its 2018 craft industry growth statistics today, reported that 7,346 craft breweries operated in the U.S. in 2018. That’s up from 6,490 in 2017.Those 7,346 craft breweries produced a combined 25.9 million barrels of beer in 2018, up about 800,000 barrels from 2017, the BA said.Brewers Association chief economist Bart Watson told members of the media during a teleconference. “We’re still seeing openings outpace closings by almost five-to-one,” Watson added that he expects both numbers to be revised upward next year as additional data is collected.In 2018, craft’s share of total beer dollars grew to 24.1 percent — to an estimated $27.6 billion — which Watson attributed to price inflation and the so-called “long tail” of small brewers commanding higher retail margins. Craft’s volume share of the overall U.S. beer also increased, to 13.2 percent last year, up from 12.6 percent in 2017.Watson also made a case for the smallest breweries finding the most success as they build their businesses through direct-to-consumer taproom sales. The BA estimates that the number of barrels sold directly to consumers via brewery taprooms grew by about 400,000 barrels, to 3.1 million barrels, in 2018 (up from 2.71 million barrels in 2017).Ninkasi Brewing Sells Majority Stake, Establishes National Platform to Acquire Other BreweriesOregon’s Ninkasi Brewing has sold a majority stake to Legacy Breweries Inc., an upstart venture led by former Yakima Chief CEO Don Bryant, that aims to acquire U.S. craft breweries.Similar to Canarchy – which owns Oskar Blues, Cigar City Brewing, Deep Ellum, Utah Brewers Cooperative, Perrin Brewing and Three Weavers – or Artisanal Brewing Ventures – which owns Victory Brewing, Southern Tier and Sixpoint Brewery – Legacy Breweries Inc. hopes to establish “collaborative partnerships” with craft breweries, according Ninkasi co-founder Nikos Ridge.Speaking to Brewbound, Ridge said he, along and co-founder Jamie Floyd and the company’s six investors, would “retain significant ownership” in the brewery.“Ninkasi sold a majority stake to Legacy Breweries in order to create a new platform that can leverage our resources in conjunction with those of the Legacy team,” he said.As those “brewing hubs” are established, the company would also look to acquire 10 to 15 smaller breweries in those geographies. Those companies would be able to access expanded production and packaging capabilities and have better access to raw materials such as hops, malt, and cans.
