We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be furloughed SBNation writers right now. Proceeds from the "Those Who Stay Home" collection are going to support our front line workers at Michigan Medicine.

Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, 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, and FuegoBox

The podcast is, as always, sponsored by the law offices of E. Jason Blankenship. You’re encouraged to check out his new site here.

This week’s podcast went on the long side again, as y’all gave me plenty of material. Topics discussed:

• Dread Level: PSU
• Several questions about the running game and why it is the way it is
• Should Ed Warinner have been promoted to OC?
• What’s with the kickers?
• Favorite recruit that didn’t pan out
• Coming out the other side of BPONE and into the HPONE
• Let your child root for Michigan
• Excitement level for hoops
• The brutal schedule: advantage or disadvantage?
• Longer honeymoon period: Juwan vs. Jim
• Top ten songs of the decade
• The 1995 Detroit Tigers
• Pizza toppings

The top ten songs of the decade question led to a 50-song playlist, which Apple Music users can find here. Apologies, Spotify users, someone else paid for an iTunes family plan. Hopefully someone can copy it over.

If you want to get in a question for the next podcast, feel free to send them any time they come to mind, either by tagging them with #acepod on Twitter or emailing [email protected].

So you get that rather heartbreaking background, and then you hear her sing, and you understand why she sings the way she does.
