We took down the mgopodcast version of yesterday's Roundtable, which requires some explanation. Unfortunately I'm not sure this explanation is going to satisfy everyone, particularly because Ace and I are currently not of the same mind on many of these issues. If it was just up to me I would not have pulled the podcast, but Ace felt very strongly about it and I did not. If you'd like to listen to the segment and come to your own conclusions it's still on WTKA's site.

FIRST, AN APOLOGY

Calling Michigan State the Fightin' Larry Nassars was a textbook definition of hubris and I should not have done that.

I do still think there was a major gap between the modern universities' reactions. MSU gave Lou Anna Simon a golden parachute and their regents fought tooth and nail against any sort of accountability. Michigan doesn't appear to be running the same playbook. Now, it's a lot easier for Michigan to do that because current higher-ups in the university are not directly implicated; almost everyone is dead. What they would do if they were looking at consequences for their own selves is in doubt.

[After THE JUMP: the segment]

like this except we're Harbaugh and you're throwing gentler softballs [Fuller]

Alarming news about the US economy: bloggers will be on the radio. We are leading into the weekly coaches's show for the duration of football season. If things go well (ie: we get enough sponsors to at least break even) we'll look at continuing through basketball season.

WHAT	MGORADIO
WHERE	1050 WTKA, streaming on WTKA.com
WHEN	5-7 Mondays, right before HARBAUGH
THE LINE	Brian mispronounces last names -infinity
TELEVISION	50/50 FS2 shows up just because they need anything resembling content
TICKETS	Uh
WEATHER	mid 70s, 0% chance of rain, 100% chance of sputtering condemnation

The first one is Monday. For now we're expecting this to be formatted much like the podcast, except people can call in and rant about vaccines causing Michigan's offensive line to get hurled into the backfield by angry Samoans.

This is not 'Nam, this is radio:

RULE NUMBER ONE: only ask one question, we forget the others.
RULE NUMBER TWO: don't say anyone is "just a winner."
RULE NUMBER THREE: make the sporps takes piping hot or don't bring 'em at all.
