1. Sherrone Moore and the Coaching Staff
Starts at 1:00
Sherrone is rounding out his staff - Kirk Campbell is the offensive coordinator, Grant Newsome is the offensive line coach, and Steve Casula is the tight ends coach. We're projecting that Ron Bellamy and Mike Hart are returning (Mike Hart's absence from certain events were just him going through some personal stuff, per Sam Webb). It looks like Mike Elston and Steve Clinkscale are back so far. There's a linebacker and defensive coordinator spot open (the 3rd Ravens guy is off the board). If they bring in long-tenured NFL guys, can they recruit? Could Michigan start pulling coaches from two NFL franchises moving forward?
[The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]
2. Hockey vs Ohio State
Starts at 23:27
Michigan swept Ohio State, just like football as you might recall, but Ohio State is pretty bad at hockey this year. The Friday game felt like one that could fall apart but they came up ahead. The Saturday game felt like Michigan was on the doorstep and just had to finish it. They're looking like they're rounding into a tournament team, especially with their World Juniors guys back. Michigan was finally on the other side of five minute majors!
3. Hot Takes and... State of the Basketball Program
Starts at 49:34
Takes hotter than Rutgers basketball with five minutes left in a basketball game against Michigan. Rutgers went on a 37-12 run to end the game, and Rutgers has one of the worst offenses in the Big Ten. What is going on in the locker room? What is the culture of this team and who's even in charge of what? It's year five but there are only two guards on the roster and two open roster spots. There's no reason to retain Juwan.
4. Just Naming Guys
Starts at 1:16:15
No, really. They're just naming guys. It was this or another basketball segment. Seth's story about a football player with magic powers was critiqued by a Michigan football player. The Commissioner of this segment had to step in to vacate a #2 guy. Leave five guys in the comments (as in Michigan football players, not the food).

I think Jason should have retired from hot takes based on one from the 2021 Big Ten title game that Hutchinson would make the Lions good.

I believe the shorter guy is Drew Dileo.
Edit: And... Jeremy Jackson circa 2010/2011.

I haven’t listened yet, but Dug, Nimari, Jaelin, and GW3 are all guards. Maybe 2 are good, but that’s debatable.
