16 Saturdays

There was snow, there was a Haskins hurdle, there was a halftime scuffle, there was an epic field rush - and at the end, there was a new Big Ten East Champion. On this week's episode, we reflect on the best weekend of our lives as fans, give thanks to Aidan Hutchinson, Hassan Haskins, the team, coaches, and all the great players who never got to taste a victory like this but helped make it possibl...

With travel and Thanksgiving preparations throwing off our normal routine, we condensed the Maryland recap into a live pregame show Saturday morning before what became one of the greatest games of all time. If you missed the live show or just want to relish in the glory that was Saturday, here's the recording. We'll have our Ohio episode out in the next few days (should be one for the ages) and wi...

Take that haters. We'll take a ranked road win against a legitimately decent team (with a legitimately terrible run game and half-injured QB...) any day of the week. Plus we've clearly got it better than Texas, Florida, and Washington so we've got that going for us. On this week's episode we definitely don't talk about a game in two weeks and focus all of our attention on recapping Penn State and...

A nondescript, comfortable win - that's how Indiana games are supposed to feel. Michigan bounces back to improve to 8-1, and with help from Purdue, we're now one step closer to controlling our own destiny again. This week, we preview a massive trip to Happy Valley, discuss the chaos that is the playoff race, and talk about the right way to eat apple pie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

If only. The refs, the fourth downs, the replay reviews, the false start on 4th down, the two-point conversions, the fumble we lost, the fumble we didn't get. After a heartbreaking Saturday and a few sleepless nights, we're back to break down a game that actually had a lot of positives (hello Andrel!) and talk about Michigan's path going forward (still pretty good). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

Nearly 300 yards of rushing. A blocked punt. A stress-free 4th quarter. On this week's episode, we celebrate another victory, discuss how worried we should be about the passing game, and preview the impending Big Ten East round robin. But mostly, we get ready for State and a Saturday showdown in East Lansing. Go Blue! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hope you had your popcorn ready. What a Saturday. Bama goes down. Oklahoma comes back from down 21. Ole Miss survives a two-point try. Iowa stays unbeaten. And on the plains of Nebraska, Michigan improves to 6-0 in an absolute thriller. We try to make sense of what was quite possibly the greatest day in college football history, celebrate a big road win, and preview the second half of the season....

Another week, another win for Michigan. This time it's a win at Camp Randall for the first time in two decades, and it comes in dominating fashion. On this week's episode, we relish in the afterglow of a magical college football Saturday, give props to the coaching staff, and look ahead to Nebraska. We also look at the chaos that is the broader college football landscape (hello Stanford!), suggest...

Survive and advance. Or maybe hit the panic button. What started as a pleasant Saturday turned stressful and then almost turned tragic. But Michigan did in fact win and now sits at 4-0 and #14 in the country. On this week's episode, we decide how much we should look into an ugly second half, get ready for a huge trip to Madison, and relive the highs of a great Saturday across the country (hello NC...

3-0. Ranked in the top 20. ESPN talking about a playoff run. Is it time to start believing? We break down Michigan's dominating win over Northern Illinois and debate how much we should takeaway from a game that can only be described as a beatdown. We also discuss Notre Dame refusing to let a drum on the field, a coach buying beer for fans, and a host of almost-upsets across the country. Hosted on...

If you told us three weeks ago that Michigan would be 2-0 right now coming off two straight 300+ yard rushing performances and a 31-10 win over Washington, we'd take that any day of the week. On this week's episode, we discuss plans for giving Mike Hart a bonus, decide whether we actually need to throw the football, and cheer on Oregon (go Ducks!). We also recap a crazy weekend of upsets in colleg...

College football as it should be. After two years of waiting for a (mostly) normal college football Saturday, the opening weekend did not disappoint. Aidan Hutchinson was unstoppable. Dax Hill was a beast. And speed in space looked like a thing. Competition caveats apply, but at least we got a fun week. Outside of dissecting Michigan's win, we discuss whether we'd skip senior year of high school f...

We get it. The team's not ranked. The last few seasons haven't been - what's the word..."fun." Ohio is loaded (per usual). We're not here to dwell on that. We're here to remind you that college football is amazing, that there's always hope in new beginnings, and that in a world with lots of problems there's still something special in a fall Saturday at the Big House. On this week's episode, we pre...

Another week, another win for Michigan. It feels good to say that even if it took three overtimes and a missed field goal against Rutgers to get there. On this week’s episode, we discuss the Cade McNamara era, reminisce about the days of a functional defense, and remember past poor predictions of Michigan success. We also preview the basketball season, debate which fanbase has it better (or worse)...

Michigan hockey got off to a great start. The early data on the vaccines is promising. Thanksgiving is next week. Happiness does exist in the world. On this week's episode, we grudgingly discuss the Wisconsin game but spend most of our time on a draft of things we're looking forward to pre and post-vaccine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can't believe the season is done this soon. It felt like it was just getting started, and now we've got to adjust to a whole new show. On this week's episode, we discuss Claire's shocking proposal (I wasn't shocked, just disappointed...) and (grudgingly) try to understand what happened to the Michigan secondary, how you jump offsides five times in a half, and where we go from here. We also update...

Oh Michigan football how we've missed you. The Wolverines win in emphatic fashion 49-24 to retain possession of the Little Brown Jug. In the process, it looks like they may have found themselves a quarterback, an offensive line, and an offensive coordinator. On this week's episode, we get excited about the return of football (hello Indiana game finish), decide how much we can read into one game, a...

Maybe not quite the same week 1 feeling, but on Saturday night the Wolverines will battle for the Little Brown Jug (knock on wood) and hopefully for three hours we can turn our attention to a simple game. On this episode, 16 Saturdays returns to preview the 2020 season. We debate whether the Joe Milton hype is real, decide how afraid we should be of the cornerbacks (pretty afraid), and prepare for...

Predictably distressing. That pretty much sums it up. On this week's episode we're not quite ready to talk about the mishaps of Saturday and instead talk about next year's team, basketball (hooray Juwan!), and the potential of going undefeated into Thanksgiving in 2020. We also pick our conference championship winners and plead with Don Brown to stay in Ann Arbor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

Another week, another rousing victory. Michigan cruises past Indiana 39-14 in the last hurdle before the big one. On this week's episode, we talk a bit about the Wolverines’ win over the Hoosiers and much more about the game that’s been causing us sleepless nights for weeks. We also discuss what Michigan needs to do to beat Ohio, decide what reasonable expectations look like, and wonder what we'd...

Another week, another rout of a rival. 44-10 Michigan dominates little brother in every phase - in a game that might just be the final blow of the Mark Dantonio era. On this week’s episode we discuss what was possibly the greatest college football Saturday of the past few years, debate whether we’d want Dantonio to stick around for another year, and tip our caps to the evolution of Josh Gattis and...

Nothing too bad. Nothing too good. Felt about how a Maryland game should. On this week's episode, we discuss what (if anything) we can take away from Michigan's 38-7 win over the Terps, preview basketball season, and debate whether next year's d-line could be better than 2016's. We also preview LSU vs. Bama, figure out Michigan's odds of making the Big Ten championship (they exist), and suggest re...

Oh what a night. Michigan resurrects its season and quite possibly the Harbaugh era with an emphatic 45-14 beatdown of Notre Dame. On this week's episode we relive a rainy (and joyous) trip to the Big House, decide whether drinking 40s is our new good luck charm, and give props to the students for their towel throwing game. We also wonder about the state of the world in 2033, thank God for Don Bro...

Exhilarating. Excruciating. Encouraging? On this week’s episode, we relive the highs and lows of Michigan's heartbreaking loss to Penn State, discuss the growth of the offense, and lament about the breakdowns defensively. We also lobby for PI reviews in college, decide whether we'd stay a night in the Goodyear blimp, and take a peak at next year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inf...

Sometimes awesome. Sometimes not so much. Michigan escapes Champaign with a not-so-satisfying 42-25 win that maybe hints of good things to come. On this week's episode, we give midseason grades (hello Uche and Paye), adjust expectations (so maybe Shea's not headed to NYC), and preview Penn State. We also try to make sense of a thrilling week in the broader college football world (should LSU be fav...
