The Sponsors
This show is presented by The UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan, instead of 11 years of MGoPodcasts this would be entirely about salsa takes.
Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: The Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, HomeSure Lending, The University of Michigan Alumni Association, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element , The Phil Klein Insurance Group, Peak Wealth Management, Fuegobox, and introducing Perrin Brewing.
--------------------------------------------
1. 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. Big Ten East Preview
(starts at 1:07:14)

The Jug in Indy would be a childhood dream of mine come true when I had a poster of Jon Jansen and Steve Hutchinson lifting the Jug in 1997 and, as a six-year-old, wondered if the Little Brown Jug would be on the line if Minnesota and Michigan played in the post-season.

Also, keep in mind, the TV coverage for Penn State-Michigan has not been announced yet so, depending on how each team is doing (preferably predicated on how PSU is doing) it very well could be an ESPN game at night with College GameDay or at least a night game.

Just me or is Brian being a bit of a dick to Seth throughout the podcast?
