Michigan slays the dragon and punches its ticket to a national championship game in Houston, Texas against soon-to-be Big Ten conference member, the Washington Huskies. It has been a couple of days, but do all Wolverine Fans realize just what this team has accomplished? By overcoming more adversity than most teams face in 2 or 3 seasons, by beating college football titans at their own game, this 2023-2024 Michigan Wolverine football team – win or lose on Monday, January 8th -- has already cemented its legacy as one of the greatest Michigan football teams of all time and Michigan is now commencing to rewrite the landscape of college football. The Big Ten conference was dominated by Ohio State for the better part of 20 years and college football has been dominated for more than a decade by southern teams, mostly SEC teams and mostly Alabama. Michigan has ended both of those dynasties, taking over as the top dog in the Big Ten (Ohio State football program is basically crumbling to pieces over the past month) and now Michigan has assured that the new national champion will not be from the SEC, but will be a team with a northern or northwestern address, either Seattle or Ann Arbor. This is remarkable stuff! I have been trying to tell Wolverine Fans this fact since mid-September this season – Michigan is building a new Alabama and this Michigan team is the culmination of everything that Jim Harbaugh was trying to build when he was brought to Ann Arbor on December 29, 2014 to take over the Michigan program. This team is different, this team is special and this team is absolutely fueled by all of the doubter and haters, who have questioned this team for months.

All of us have watched so many versions of this game through the years and all of us have watched these two football teams play so many games and it taints and skews our view of the match-up. Before these two teams play, we are all filled with memories of past games and the history of these two great programs. Even former players and well-paid college football analysts are subject to the same biases. I have several well-known and well-paid analysts saying things like, “well Ohio State has a much better record in top-5 match-ups like this one” OR “Michigan has a tendency over the years to do _____ in games like this”. The problem is that all of those historical paradigms mean nothing in this year’s game. I even heard one analyst say, “well remember this Buckeye just narrowly lost to Georgia in last year’s national semi-final game. They were only a few inches on a field goal away from winning the National Championship. And they said this, as if this was the same exact Ohio State Buckeye team. When in fact, they were speaking about last year’s team. And just because several of the players are the same. It’s not the same team. And if you watch Ohio State play this year, the 2023 version of the Ohio State Buckeyes is a LOT different than the 2022 or 2021 versions of the Ohio State Buckeyes. And the main reason is Quarterback play. Ohio State has a solid college Quarterback this year in Kyle McCord. But he is basically a pure drop-back passer. Think the Ohio State version of Chad Henne or Brian Griese. I would say that Kyle McCord reminds me a lot of Chad Henne. So a damn good quarterback but much different than C.J. Stroud or Justin Fields or J.T. Barrett or Braxton Miller. Michigan-Ohio State QB Match-ups: 2023 Kyle McCord vs. J.J. McCarthy 2022 C.J. Stroud vs. J.J. McCarthy 2021 C.J. Stroud vs. Cade McNamara 2019 Justin Fields vs. Shea Patterson 2018 Dwayne Haskins vs. Shea Patterson 2017 J.T. Barrett (Dwayne Haskins) vs. John O’Korn 2016 J.T. Barreett vs. Wilton Speight 2015 J.T. Barrett vs. Jake Rudock 2014 J.T. Barrett vs. Devin Gardner 2013 Braxton Miller vs. Devin Gardner 2012 Braxton Miller vs. Devin Gardner 2011 Braxton Miller vs. Denard Robinson 2010 Terrelle Pryor vs. Denard Robinson 2009 Terrelle Pryor vs. Tate Forcier 2008 Terrelle Pryor vs. Nick Sheridan 2007 Todd Boeckman vs. Chad Henne (injured) 2006 Troy Smith vs. Chad Henne I’m not going to also list all of the running back match-ups but suffice to say, those have also often been a mis-match with Ohio State featuring future NFL starters like Ezekiel Elliott and J.K. Dobbins among others, while Michigan was countering with solid players but not future NFL players like Fitzgerald Toussaint or Karan Higdon. This year, TreVeyon Henderson may be #1 but Michigan with Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards is certainly on par with Henderson and Chip Trayanum. The 2023 Ohio State team has been really led by its defense and the likely Biletnikoff winner Marvin Harrison, Junior, but they have also been plagued with red-zone scoring issued, inconsistent offensive line and Quarterback play, difficulty regularly moving the ball. Ohio State has played poorly in road games at Ohio State, Wisconsin and Rutgers and needed to mount comebacks in those games, really led by their defense. I believe the # 1 unit on the Michigan Football team is the defensive line. I believe that it is probably the best defensive line that Michigan has ever had, featuring at a minimum 3 future NFL players and possibly as many as 5 or 6 future NFL players. I think this unit will flex its muscle on Saturday and show the country just how dominant that they can be and they will make Kyle McCord’s life miserable. My biggest concerns: • Health of J.J. McCarthy, Roman Wilson and O-line • Linebackers • Missing Coach Harbaugh and Coach Chris Partridge The Michigan Wolverines team remains really angry and highly motivated to quiet a nation full of doubters and haters. There are no certainties in life or in football, only scenarios and probabilities Michigan wins in a blowout - 25% Michigan wins a close game - 40% Ohio State wins a close game - 25% Ohio State wins in a blowout - 10%]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57799411</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Nov 2023 18:42:48 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57799411/ohio_state_preview_episode_november_24_2023.mp3" length="23756164" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0/4e090a22-25ce-4729-bb4b-bc027a09b0e0.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Phil Kain</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>We are all products of our experience and we all have bias.

I have several well-known and well-paid analysts saying things like, “well Ohio State has a much better record in top-5 match-ups like this one” OR “Michigan has a tendency over the years to do _____ in games like this”. The problem is that all of those historical paradigms mean nothing in this year’s game. I even heard one analyst say, “well remember this Buckeye just narrowly lost to Georgia in last year’s national semi-final game. They were only a few inches on a field goal away from winning the National Championship. And they said this, as if this was the same exact Ohio State Buckeye team. When in fact, they were speaking about last year’s team. And just because several of the players are the same. It’s not the same team. And if you watch Ohio State play this year, the 2023 version of the Ohio State Buckeyes is a LOT different than the 2022 or 2021 versions of the Ohio State Buckeyes. And the main reason is Quarterback play. Ohio State has a solid college Quarterback this year in Kyle McCord. But he is basically a pure drop-back passer. Think the Ohio State version of Chad Henne or Brian Griese. I would say that Kyle McCord reminds me a lot of Chad Henne. So a damn good quarterback but much different than C.J. Stroud or Justin Fields or J.T. Barrett or Braxton Miller. Michigan-Ohio State QB Match-ups: 2023 Kyle McCord vs. J.J. McCarthy 2022 C.J. Stroud vs. J.J. McCarthy 2021 C.J. Stroud vs. Cade McNamara 2019 Justin Fields vs. Shea Patterson 2018 Dwayne Haskins vs. Shea Patterson 2017 J.T. Barrett (Dwayne Haskins) vs. John O’Korn 2016 J.T. Barreett vs. Wilton Speight 2015 J.T. Barrett vs. Jake Rudock 2014 J.T. Barrett vs. Devin Gardner 2013 Braxton Miller vs. Devin Gardner 2012 Braxton Miller vs. Devin Gardner 2011 Braxton Miller vs. Denard Robinson 2010 Terrelle Pryor vs. Denard Robinson 2009 Terrelle Pryor vs. Tate Forcier 2008 Terrelle Pryor vs. Nick Sheridan 2007 Todd Boeckman vs. Chad Henne (injured) 2006 Troy Smith vs. Chad Henne I’m not going to also list all of the running back match-ups but suffice to say, those have also often been a mis-match with Ohio State featuring future NFL starters like Ezekiel Elliott and J.K. Dobbins among others, while Michigan was countering with solid players but not future NFL players like Fitzgerald Toussaint or Karan Higdon. This year, TreVeyon Henderson may be #1 but Michigan with Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards is certainly on par with Henderson and Chip Trayanum. The 2023 Ohio State team has been really led by its defense and the likely Biletnikoff winner Marvin Harrison, Junior, but they have also been plagued with red-zone scoring issued, inconsistent offensive line and Quarterback play, difficulty regularly moving the ball. Ohio State has played poorly in road games at Ohio State, Wisconsin and Rutgers and needed to mount comebacks in those games, really led by their defense. I believe the # 1 unit on the Michigan Football team is the defensive line. I believe that it is probably the best defensive line that Michigan has ever had, featuring at a minimum 3 future NFL players and possibly as many as 5 or 6 future NFL players. I think this unit will flex its muscle on Saturday and show the country just how dominant that they can be and they will make Kyle McCord’s life miserable. My biggest concerns: • Health of J.J. McCarthy, Roman Wilson and O-line • Linebackers • Missing Coach Harbaugh and Coach Chris Partridge The Michigan Wolverines team remains really angry and highly motivated to quiet a nation full of doubters...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1469</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>collegefootball,football,goblue,mgoblue,michigan,michiganfootball,michiganwolverines,wolverines</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/14fdbd36cc069c994666749d20ce132a.jpg"/><itunes:season>3</itunes:season><itunes:episode>22</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Advance Scouting Is Rampant Throughout The Big Ten Conference</title><link>https://youtu.be/uHh8o4anp5Q?si=mycrODN4uVuL8Wfw</link><description><![CDATA[The stage is set for a historic match-up with Ohio State.

I’m expecting to see an article about Ray Finkle sometime this week.  “Laces OUT!!”  Aren’t we talking about college football here? o   If you ever needed to understand just how much money and power was at stake with these games, like Michigan vs. Ohio State, just look at the reaction of people over the past several days. o   One key aspect of this whole insane news cycle for the past 10 days is that Michigan has yet to have a real chance to respond or defend itself against any of these allegations. o   Private Investigator was hired by someone or some organization o   The findings of the PI firm were hand-delivered to the NCAA o   That is what led to the NCAA investigation o     o   These type of ridiculous twitter rumors and personal bashing online is exactly why we started this Podcast.  o   More twists and turns than a Haunted House on the Mississippi River, more angles than a warehouse full of polygons o   However, the focus of this whole thing has always been one person – Jim Harbaugh and whether or not he is going to stay at Michigan. o   Anyone and everyone has an opinion on this o   Rival fans know that the only thing that is really going to stop the Michigan freight train is a regime change, like when Tressel or Urban Meyer left o   Fans are blinded my passion and myopia – Penn State fans that still think Joe Paterno and Penn State were treated unfairly, Ohio State fans that still think Jim Tressel and the OSU program were treated unfairly, MSU fans that….well let’s just leave that band of crazies alone for now… o   Florida fan story from the 2017 game in Dallas o   This is absolutely following the exact pattern of a political PR campaign to take down a political opponent.  Trump is a Russian agent, George Bush stole the election from Al Gore, the Clinton crime family, those protesters are all radical crazies, o   Why are negative political ads used so much?  Because they are effective. o     o   National media outlets including ESPN, Fox, USA Today, Wall Street Journal put out just as much clickbait in 2023 as twitter trolls and teenagers on TikTok.  There have been several articles just in the last week on national media outlets that had eye-catching headlines and yet the article cited no sources.  That is not journalism, yet it is where we are in the 2023 news cycle.   o   Here is my issue with the NCAA and why I am so critical of this organization.  The NCAA is a classic reactionary group.  They don’t actually lead or set any type of agenda.  They simply respond and react to things that are handed to them.  An effective enforcement agency or regulatory body meets internally and decides what problems they want to attack.  Almost every organization regardless of jurisdiction, industry, geography has way more problems than they know what to deal with – which crime are we most concerned about?  What is the biggest problem that we face?  What topical issue is really causing the most harm, the most problems in our company, our industry, our municipality and what can we do about it?  Once this is decided, then a plan can be put in place in try and do something about these more paramount of problems, most pressing issues.  Other less serious problems will have to wait, as the effective enforcement and regulatory body is focusing its time, resources and attention on these major issues. o   Then we have the Keystone Cops approach taken by the NCAA.  In 2023, there are some major issues facing college football – tampering, players being paid salaries, NIL corruption, superconferences poaching teams, coaches lying to players, what is legal and what isn’t legal with paying players – literally the future of the game and amateur athletics overall may be at stake. If we don’t get some of this stuff right with coast-to-coast conferences, players being paid, coaches just recruiting off other team’s rosters, college athletics may not be recognizable in just a few years and certainly there is no guaranty that it will be in a better condition with all of these sweeping changes.  And what is the NCAA doing about all of these major, major issues?  Nothing.  Crickets.  o   What IS the NCAA focused on in October 2023.  Sign-stealing.  Michigan has an elaborate sign-stealing operation.  Who cares about the fact that some schools may not even have athletic programs in a few years?  Who cares if student-athletes are going to have to fly from Piscataway to Seattle and back on a weeknight in a couple of years?  Who cares if high school kids are being bought and sold by college coaches?  Who cares if a recruit was lied to and told they were going to make a million dollars and then after they moved across the country, the athletic team told them that the money wasn’t there, but they can transfer if they want to.  Yeah, no worries about that silly nonsense.  Let’s focus on sign-stealing.  Rampant, uncontrolled sign-stealing that we didn’t even know about 2 weeks ago until some bought and paid-for investigative report (bought and paid for by someone’s rival) that probably is done by every team across the country and likely has minimal impact on even a single play of a game, let alone the actual outcome of a game.  That is what we must focus on!!  That needs to have a stop-everything that you are doing national discussion.  This must stop!!  (Oh but wait, everyone does it and it could easily be alleviated by just having radios in the helmets of the Quarterback of each team).  So what, we must not stop talking about it every day until this horrible scourge is banished forever from the landscape of our beloved college football game!!   o   What exactly is the benefit of stealing signs in football?  According to nearly every former player and current coach that has mentioned it in the past 7-10 days, there is no tangible benefit. None.  This is football.  An intensely physical game.  This isn’t baseball.  Don’t you remember the numerous times in Michigan games and other college football games, where players have said, “They knew what we were going to run, but we knew that they couldn’t stop us.” o   I attend high school football games nearly every week.  In most games, usually by mid-way through the 1st quarter, I can predict the next play-call 50% of the time or more.  So what?      o     o   Ohio State and other rival fans just can’t accept or believe the transformation of Michigan Football that has occurred over the past few years.  Things that were put in place years before, finally have solidified, but also Harbaugh and Michigan finally found the correct formula that works. o   Finally found the right formula with defensive coordinators after mis-steps with D.J. Durkin and then the Don Brown era, Michigan opened this pipeline of young talented D.C’s from the NFL (Ravens) and it has worked amazingly well for the past 3 seasons. o   Offensive coaching changes have worked equally well with Sherrone Moore, Mike Hart and o     o   How will all of this effect the football team on the field?]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57446588</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Oct 2023 21:29:05 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57446588/michigan_football_2023_media_coverage_has_turned_into_a_bad_remake_of_ace_ventura_pet_detective_360p30.mp3" length="26413635" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6/1285d838-03aa-4f00-8ff6-739f9f2150d6.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Phil Kain</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>o   The 2023 Michigan Football season has started to turn into a bad parody or remake of Ace Venture Pet Detective with rampant rumors, investigations, innuendo, catastrophizing and daily national media articles about various nuances and details that...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[o   The 2023 Michigan Football season has started to turn into a bad parody or remake of Ace Venture Pet Detective with rampant rumors, investigations, innuendo, catastrophizing and daily national media articles about various nuances and details that seem to come out of thin air.

Fueled by lasciviousness of our Big Ten rivals and driven by wanton envy of Michigan’s on-field success and dominance, the weakened NCAA is bound and determined to make an example of head coach Jim Harbaugh and our beloved Wolverines football team. This should be just the fuel and formula to propel the unstoppable freight train that is the 2023 Michigan Wolverines football squad to more lop-sided victories, a 3rd consecutive Big Ten championship and a 3rd consecutive appearance in the 4-team college football playoff.

Wolverine Fan nation stands by you Coach Harbaugh and we stand ready to help you weather this storm and move forward into the final 4 games of the regular season. o Frivolous NCAA investigations should only making this dominant Michigan team pound its conference opponents and rivals into submission that much further o We would like to pose a few rhetorical questions: § With all of the potential for transfer portal tampering, NIL recruiting violations, players transferring intra-conference, players signing endorsement deals, coaches actively pursuing other jobs mid-season, why is the focus of the NCAA and its infractions division, the potential of a low-paid staffer possibly traveling to opponents’ games and filming them?
