1. Across the Crooked Blue Line, wsg Steve Lorenz of 247
starts at 1:00
Steve wants to be like J.J. McCarthy when I grow up. TJ Guy could be a 10-year pro at OL, McBurrows underrated because he may be too small to play in the pros. Finishing:s still look good for Rayshaun Benny, who was Michigan head-to-toe until they lost to MSU. Rooks probably isn't an option. They have a 6'8"/235 potential edge guy from Brother Rice who may get some real offers. Ceyair Wright stars as LeBron's son; we're hoping he's more interested in Michigan Business School than USC Film School.

2. Across the Crooked Blue Line Pt 2: The 2022s
starts at 24:26
All eyes on the two five-star cornerbacks that Michigan has a legit chance with. Lots of other cornerback options out there as well, especially once you include all the athletes who could play running back or receiver or safety. We also run through the 2022 in-state class.
3. Hot Takes, Basketball Around the Big Ten
starts at 50:49
We're more scared of Wisconsin, less afraid of Iowa, more impressed with Rutgers, and unmoved by three point luck.
4. Gimmicky Top Five Best Advice for New Parents
starts at 1:35:35
Brian went with parenting rules in general while I believed the prompt was what it says on the tin and suggested things first-timers need to know, like put your newborn in a laundry basket in the middle of your bed, not a bassinet, not a drawer. Seriously, the laundry basket. You won't tip it over in the middle of the night like you would the $60 Bed, Bath & Beyond thing that is basically a pretty laundry basket. You can use it to transport the little creature as it sleeps. It can sense both parents nearby, so it won't panic at noises. And those times you do have to wake up and do something about it, you don't have to leave a warm blanket.

Talking about Newborns without mentioning the Snoo is criminal malpractice. This blog is not a place for parenting advice
December 20th, 2020 at 8:25 PM ^
i believe i gave valuable advice, thank you very much
December 20th, 2020 at 9:22 PM ^
Your advice made me think of this timeless commercial

let it snow Mr. Portnoy!

I expected kids to get easier as they got older.
LOL nope
December 20th, 2020 at 10:03 PM ^
Enjoyed the kid advice.

I'll listen on my drive in Monday morning. But for kids, I suspected they'd be pretty similar to keeping dogs.
I was wrong...

Who was the last Michigan football player to be enrolled in the business school? Zoltan Mesko? I believe Zack Novak was on the basketball side.
My impression is that the business and engineering schools do not have any preference in admissions for athletes. It's not impossible, but it is rather unlikely to be one of the top business/engineering students in the country and also one of the top football recruits in the country.
If they won't be admitted, I don't see how Michigan's business school is a draw.

Obviously a social sciences major. The first thing taught at Ross is the concept of bait and switch. Top tier athletes receive an experiential lesson.
December 21st, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Charbonnet is in Ross, as is Ben Mason.

The parenting advice cracked me up, but Seth's point about staggered sleeping is absolutely correct. If it's dark out and you have a newborn, one parent should be sleeping at all times! None of this "up to offer emotional support and help" BS.
